one thing I love about Pinterest is the comments.

you'll see a post of a Tumblr screenshot, and there will be a comment saying: this is Michaelangelo and Raphael

and I have to then deal with the idea of someone seeing a deep quote and thinking of the ninja turtles, like that won't flip my brain inside out or something

"i sure hope no elven deity breaks free from their prison in the fade and starts wreaking havoc on thedas"

preachers daughter, it's one of my favourite albums because every song fucking hits, and the narrative is just so good.

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

my current dnd character is a soulknife/zealot barbarian gnoll, and it's been decided she's an absolute menace

enjoy my bad art

I hope that if Lavellan and Solas get a romantic scene, we get to hear the Lost Elf theme again.

I want my heart ripped from my chest and fed to wolves.

the deep roads, my beloved, you are the best part of origins by a country mile.

the circle, however, yuck. stay away from me.

I just wanted my mutuals to know my unpopular opinion and it's that I love the Deep Roads. As a place and as a concept. I love when the stories and games take the protagonists to the literal darkest and most abandoned places in Thedas, full of spooks and questionable lore that we never quite get to the bottom of.

sure, life is hard, but at least I'm not Hawke

I genuinely love it when people make the comparison to medieval times in fantasy.

Like, I'm sorry, but who the fuck said this is the medieval times? Oh the swords, and plate armour? Those are there because it's COOL. Now be quiet and watch this wizard tear a hole in the fabric of reality.

Seeing some bad takes on there being top surgery scars in Veilguard because there wasn’t top surgery in the 1500s as if that meant anything at all.

Like it’s a fantasy setting bbygirl. It’s not medieval times, it’s a fantasy world. If there’s magic that can tear open the barrier between the world of spirits and the material world (or put it up) then there’s a dude out there who can lop a guys tits off. Then the guy can throw back a healing potion and be good as new, except now no boobies. Wow. Magic.

Love seeing people throw around accusations of retconning when in actuality they just weren’t paying attention.

For Dragon Age fans,

word of warning to anyone who doesn't usually venture outside of this website in terms of social media:

do not look at the comments

if you don't want to see rampant transphobia, homophobia, etc. do not look at the comments

I wanted to watch the character creator video and I saw some of the most abhorrent comments I've seen in a while. genuinely disgusted me.

maybe this will get me killed, but I immediately thought of plaidweave when my friend showed me Taylor's outfit

Spoilers for The Last Flight

to add to this, it's not necessarily confirmed that Valya and the other wardens/wardens-to-be told the other Grey Wardens about the hatchlings straight away. They might have waited a while, or maybe the higher ranking wardens kept it a secret until they had another generation. The initial hatchlings could be fully mature and had more offspring by Veilguard, which Assan could be a part of. I hope they don't retcon the timeline though.

Valya didn't even want the First Warden to know about them, she knew he'd politicise them. I'm super excited to find out what happened after The Last Flight. She does agree that the Wardens should hold the responsibility of safeguarding the griffons though, so there's space for ambiguity in the books ending as to what happens.

Griffons coming back is a huge deal, they're living war machines. The Wardens would HAVE to keep them a secret to the general public, and maybe even lower ranking wardens. Pure speculation though! Anyone correct me if I'm getting anything wrong.

Do we know how long it takes griffons to reach maturity? Assan looks smallish still, yet the eggs were hatched around the time of the mage rebellion so that would make him about 10 years old, unless they retcon the timeline so he and his siblings are actually a lot younger?
