Sorry I was looking at my first attempt at this and I can't stop laughing. Don't ever talk to me or my Davrin cardboard cutout ever again

Like. Why is he so flat. Why did I tilt him. Why does he look like that meme of the guy with his hands on his hips...

veilguard mod idea- make a da keep esque questionnaire, get together a collective of fanfic writers to write codex entries to put into the game to give resolutions to some of the different choices that got ignored.

a grey warden report on hof's whereabouts (if they survived), a letter from kieran to morrigan, a journal entry from varric about how he's handled hawke's disappearance, a letter from the southern divine to the inquisitor, y'all get the idea.

The thing that kills me about Anders being weird about your LI in act 3 is that it's just been so long now. You've been either dating or weirdly not-dating for like 4 years now. And still he's hating.

It's all coming up Astarion.

[bog-mummies]

shadowheart talks a lot of shit but in her first romance scene, she is so shy about wanting to get kissed that the pc has to make a passive insight check. and she disapproves by 5 if they don't get it. she's so funny i adore her

? varric we're at the fucking beach

the thing about astarion is that i do think that he is COMICALLY his own worst enemy but i also recognize that the reason for that is that he hit a sharp genre shift at 100000 mph. one second you're the hot and kinda tragic but expendable minion of a d&d boss and the next you're the romancable companion in the party. this little man was built to have his lore discovered in a notebook while looting his corpse after you've killed cazador and all the sudden everyone's like hey astarion. do you want to sit by the fire and tell us about yourself :) we all like you and want you happy :) and he's like what the fuuuuck. what the fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk????

however i do still find him funny about it, sorry man

i knew that shadowheart's hair changed before i started playing bg3 and i assumed it would be like an emotionally charged magical moment where she defects from shar and is blasted with magical energy or something and it is still endlessly funny to me that she just. had an existential crisis so she cut her bangs and dyed her hair. what an icon

really interesting point but why would a commoner care abt bloodlines as much as a noble would? maybe im misunderstanding ur post but couldnt they just adopt a child or take on an apprentice or be cared for by/pass something onto younger relatives? i guess a commoner could still specifically care about their line continuing but it just seems a lot more like a nobility thing to care about like. where an heir could come from if that makes sense

i mean why do nobles care about bloodlines. they could also just adopt. it’s a made-up cultural standard in any circumstance but that doesn’t mean people take it any less seriously. maybe it’s not “our family is the divinely blessed theirins descended from calenhad” or whatever but people on a smaller scale still often care very much about family lines & legacy and carry stories about their ancestors. they value what their parents gave to them and want to ensure that inheritance lives on, so they pass it on in the same way. i would honestly find it more baffling if commoners from the very same cultures in thedas just randomly operated completely differently & adoption was widespread and normal while the nobles considered bloodlines so important. and it’s probably worth mentioning that there are massive cultural fears in thedas about certain things—i.e. magic—“running in the blood”, so that probably factors into the importance of having kids from your family, which is of course Good and Pure and Different and never had nothing like that

it’s also just not easy to get hold of kids from nowhere. they have their own parents who want them for these same reasons. if they don’t have parents, it’s notable and canon that the chantry is supposed to take care of orphans in human society, merrill & sebastian have banters on how this is a primary function of the chantry and would simply be done by the community among the dalish, so sharing orphans around among families who lack heirs is clearly not how andrastians operate, they have another thing going

may i say though, incredibly thrilled by the theory i jumped to when you mentioned apprentices, which is “wade & herren are openly gay married because it’s okay if you’re in a trade because you have apprentices rather than kids”

I think the most hilarious place to put Post-Canon Sokka would have been the university at Ba Sing Se. I think he would have made a great unhinged professor. Also, in true Sokka fashion, he should have completely dodged fame. Momo is more famous than he is.

He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.

"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.

One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...

Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.

Sokka does not teach or study history, but he does sometimes sit in on lectures about recent history. Whenever he does, several doctoral students flock in to sit near him (even if it's an intro course) so that they can eavesdrop on his grumbling. (No matter how they try, an "overheard utterance" is not a valid source according to their professors. No, we have no sources on the Avatar's bison taking part in combat - sky bison are not war animals and...)

He gets regular deliveries with the Beifong family crest on them, and he goes "sweet, Toph must have found some new minerals" and at this point nobody needs to ask which Toph. He seems to have friends everywhere, literally everywhere. Wang was headed out to this massive swamp to study if it's one big organism, and Sokka told him to find some guy named Hue and "don't mind the loincloth." One time the university gets shut down because the Earth King wants to visit. Oh, visit the University? What an honor- Of fucking course not, he wants to visit Professor Sokka, who yells at him and his royal guards for interrupting his day. The Earth King and his many, many royal guards then sheepishly say sorry and file out.

The last straw is when - not a week after he yelled at the Earth King - the assistant head of the Political Science dept walks in to the faculty lounge to find Sokka having tea with a nice normal man dressed in Earth greens for once, and can't resist a little joke. "Let me guess, you're having tea with the Fire Lord." And then she can instantly tell that she fucked up, because both of them go stock still.

So when the two men awkwardly stand up and proceed to introduce the Fire Lord whose portrait she has in her office because she is the assistant head of Political Science as Li, a server at the Jasmine Dragon, she just says "hello Li" and leaves to find a bottle of something strong.
