"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

Skyhold: A Summary

[hufflepuffapostate-blog]

CONFESSION:           

 Theory: King Markus of Nevarra is dead. His Mortalitasi advisors are manipulating his corpse so it looks as if he’s alive, and ruling the country through it.

CONFESSION:

I was so confused during the Qunari attack on Kirkwall until I realized Sten was a title, and Sten from DAO wasn’t a teleporting immortal.

CONFESSION: 

I feel as though during the Fade quest in DA:O the dream with Duncan at Weisshaupt Fortress was better suited to Alistair. The whole game he is driven by Duncan’s death and instead they give him a sister he hasn’t met and us the man who we only knew briefly. It would have been the PERFECT time to refer to the Warden’s Origin story. Imagine how conflicted you would be if you played as a Cousland and had to kill your family members again to escape the Sloth Demon’s trap

Nobody in the Dragon Age mythos ever seems to wonder how Fereldens just seem to magically summon their big ass dogs from nowhere. 

Blood magic is forbidden, but dog magic is a delight.

CONFESSION:

I wish bioware would have came up with a better word for dark spawn infection.  It is difficult for me to take anything named taint seriously.

Confession:  Admittedly, I have never played the SolasxInquisitor romance, I have been spoiled rotten as to how it ends as I have played through the game already with a human inquisitor romancing Cullen. But as I listen more and more to the track “Lost Elf Theme” from Trespasser, I need to know myself the emotions that make this romance so popular. So the next play through I do, as soon as I finish my Adaar, I will be playing a female elf romancing Solas. Wish me luck!

Listen, I love my inquisitor, but I also have this great vision of her and the advisors standing around the war table like “we have so few resources, here in our massive castle where we’re training an army, how can we possibly hope to defeat Corypheus” and then the doors bang open and there stands the Hero of Ferelden. She cracks her knuckles. “Listen up kiddos - oh hey, Cullen - listen, back in my day, I defeated a god with the help of like 5 randos and a dog. What seems to be the problem.”
