im sorry i don't know shit about dragon age so i could be talking out my ass but the top surgery scars are so funny in a fantasy world like. there's magic and dragons and shit and they still have to do fucking surgery id be livid. like it's great for inclusion esp since the only people ive met who like dragon age are tboys or soon to be tboys anyway but lmfao. imagine going under and the last thing you see is a fucking elf or some shit.

anyway the other thing i remember about DA is the transmisogynistic joke character with a deep voice who works in a brothel.

Details that spoke to me while replaying DA:O

Because the DA team really has been working on their lore and plot since the dawn of time.

Zathrian’s words about betrayal that would work so well for a certain someone else, too:

Dalish Warden to Zathrian: “How could you betray our people?”

Zathrian:

First mention of the Seekers, chasing outlaws mages from the Imperium:

The description of carvings on an ancient elven tablet that eerily resembles that of the Well of Sorrows:

Theories about Andraste being a powerful mage, as World of Thedas 2 also mentions. This would explain the “miracles” ascribed to her, her half-sister’s mysterious disappearance, and Andraste’s visions and episodes of trance. It would also give points to the theory “Andraste was one of Mythal’s first vessels”:

Sten correctly predicting the future moves of the Qunari and their attempt at conquering the South:

Flemeth’s Grimoire which bears Mythal’s symbol, the leafless tree:

First mention of an ancient elf - an Arcane Warrior - escaping their physical body to live as formless spirit, in this case inside an amulet. We will find another mention of this ability of the elves only in Trespasser, in the text related to the Exile of the Forbidden Ones.

On the altar used for the ancient elven ritual described on the tablet (see above) is etched the image of a wolf:

“Mined from the living.” Could this be about the Titans?

There are other little things, but I felt like these were the most jarring and interesting. It’s also good to remember that the devs recently confirmed that they planned the truth about the elven gods and Fen’Harel since from the very beginning of the series. Kudos to them.

A helping hand

the idea of transsexuality existing in qunari society with the aqun-athlok is sooo fascinating to me that i wish it would be explored more in-universe without it becoming intensely racist and islamophobic but because of that i know this is all wishful thinking </3

this is a zero judgement zone. its a fuckin $60 game that requires nice gaming hardware and took me 165.5 hours to finish on my first run. its ridiculous to think that everyone in the fandom has played it, much less the whole way through. im not judging anyone, just data-hungry

Disclaimer: Blackness, and Black features are not a monolith. We can look like anything. That being said-

If I told you to walk outside (or get online, I guess), and point out a Black man, who would you spot first? Left or right?

And if the answer is the left (and it IS, in fact, the left) why do so many artists and fans believe that the right is appropriately and acceptably representative of Blackness in art? Let's talk about it! Check my pinned for when the next lesson, "The Ambiguously Brown™ Character", drops!

Much thank you to my friend and avid learner @devilatelier (Angel) for donating these pieces for this lesson! Here are his kofi and donation pages- check him out; even in the midst of hurricane season, he makes it a point to do great, thoughtful work. CBC approved 👍🏾
