It really is 2003 again Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

Like, all Republicans did was replace Iraq and gay people with Iran and trans people.

as a society i don’t think we talk enough about how fucking funny bride of reanimator really is. the main antagonist of the movie is the decapitated head of the bad guy from the first movie but with a pair of bat wings sewn onto him. herbert tries to bribe dan into frankenstein activities by offering him his dead girlfriend’s heart and it WORKS. herbert then gets so mad that dan’s having sex with a woman that he decides to stick a random arm and leg together and bring it to life to distract himself. it immediately strangles him. that fisheye lens shot of herbert when he’s calling hill’s head a “no-body”. francesca’s dog getting a human arm put on it which is clearly just a guy holding up his hand behind a regular dog. herbert is regularly lurking in the walls. simply the line “my god, they’re using tools!” the movie starts with herbert and dan at war in PERU??? the last movie ended in massachusetts. there’s a specific “goop wrangler” listed in the credits. peak cinema i dare say.

I'm playing Dragon Age: Inquisition for the first time with basically no knowledge of the Dragon Age franchise other than what I've gleaned in passing on this hellsite, and I gotta say... playing Solavellan and knowing some of what's coming, especially as a mage, is WILD. Lavellan is an elf. She's been raised her whole life not to trust humans, only to suddenly be proclaimed a messiah in their religion- a religion she doesn't even follow! And as a mage she's considered an apostate by default and seen as dangerous-and she sees what happens to mages who are considered too dangerous, and to my Inquisitor, being made Tranquil seems like a fate worse than death.

And there's elves and mages around, but there's only one elven mage going out of his way to talk to and help Lavellan, and with all the insanity happening, it's hard to trust anyone-they barely trust her, after all. But here's Solas, curious instead of hostile, even-keeled when everyone else seems ready to blow. After Haven falls and he tells her about the orb being elven, that feeling of distrust toward the humans only grows- and he just feeds into it.

Lavellan has just lost the closest thing she has to a home, and needs something, someone, that feels safe, that she can trust-and here's Solas, telling her "you change everything"-not with fear or expectation, but curiosity, and something like desire...

you can see exactly where this is going.

It's codependent trauma-bonding at its finest, but damn it hurts so good.

And then he vanishes and she's devastated, and she eventually finds out she was in love with the elven equivalent of Lucifer? And probably still is??

Like...what the fuck is Lavellan supposed to do with any of that? I'll get to Veilguard eventually, but how the fuck doesn't she just go feral and run screaming off into the woods after all that??

“My favourite thing was a bunch of people made a giant sign that said “How am I going to be an octopus about this?” and held it up during Pompeii at all the right times and it distracted me enough to sing “octopus” instead by accident.”

you CANNOT read too much old timey fiction because I was playing Raft with the lads this morning and without a THOUGHT said we could sail over to another island "if the wind would consent to blow" & let me tell you. This did not pass by unremarked.
