The word “allo” is an inclusive term that means not ace or not aro depending on where you use it. Examples are “allo ace” or “aro allo” or something like that. It’s not sexualizing anyone. The word was not made to hurt anyone.

Taking ace-/ aro-spec specific words out of context and using them to make us look bad is aphobic.

hey ive noticed a lotta people using they/them pronouns for jonathan since hes come out as nb but please remember that he said he prefers he/him but is also fine with she/her. He never mentioned they/them pronouns so, even if in yhe future he says hes okay with them, as far as we know he doesnt prefer them!

nombinary people don’t have to use they/them pronouns! please be respectful and use the correct pronouns for him!

I don't see the TV show as queerbaiting because, even if there's no on screen kissing, both David Tennant and Michael Sheen have talked about playing Crowley and Aziraphale as in love with each other and that shows. I think some of the anger people are expressing is because Neil Gaiman has consistently said "they're not gay it's your headcanon" while also writing them Like This, which does seem bait-y. But for me, that's a Neil Gaiman issue, not a Good Omens tv show issue?

honestly at this point I would respect Neil’s answer if only bc he can’t speak for Terry.  Maybe they discussed it and Terry wasn’t comfortable with it.  Maybe they never really got around to discussing it.  But Neil was not the only author, and given how dear a friend his coauthor was and how personal this project would’ve been to him, I can 100% respect not changing his line now.

Terry Pratchett is no longer capable of weighing in on characters he helped create, and Neil Gaiman is unlikely to make broad sweeping declarations about stuff that had never been explicit before that he thinks Terry might’ve cared about, because Terry meant a LOT to him.

If you feel like telling someone that a common word is ableist:

Learn about wheelchair accessibility standards (text alternative), find a local business that flagrantly ignores them (which is very easy) and contact the manager to say, “My disabled friend would love to visit your shop/bar/restaurant, but it isn’t wheelchair accessible!” (If the staff have to move or unlock something, that isn’t accessible —especially if you have to go inside to request it)

Boom. You’ve done more for disabled people than 50 callouts for the word “lame”. I hate that word used as a pejorative too! But of the two methods of activism, this one gets way more shit done.

Please reblog this post if you are an lgbt/queer identifying fan of Mass Effect or Dragon Age. Especially if you are a content creator. I need good people to follow. 

I’m real tired of the last “Reblog so i can follow” post i made because of people commenting that they ‘tolerate’ lgbt or finding out later that someone calling themself an ally is in fact not at all.

You can tag what you identify yourself as but that is not at all a requirement, I’m just looking to find and make more like minded friends :)

ANYWAYS

Hey all! It’s me. I created an entire new blog just so I could like/reblog/follow/send asks from a related blog instead of from the eclectic hell that’s my main blog. (Don’t ask, it’s a mess and a half. lol)

So about the actual blog owner. My name is Liz, Scar/let, or Violet. I’ll respond to either. She/her or they/them please. I’m bi, I’m ace, and nb as hell. I love Dragon Age (obviously), Mass Effect (YES, this does include Andromeda), and a few other video game series. I like writing and drawing, and might eventually be able to get Mira right enough to post something. 

Gatekeepers of any kind are not welcome here and can kindly screw off. Feel free to let me know if I make a mistake or do something and I’ll happily remove or edit the post as needed.

My OCs under the cut, because that’s why we’re all here!

Michelle Carragher’s blog includes instructions on how to create this dragon scale effect in fabric!

“For Sansa’s wedding dress the designer Michele Clapton wanted to have an embroidered band that wrapped around which symbolistically told Sansa’s life from the Tully and Stark beginnings to the entanglement with the Lannisters,” says Michelle, “The dress colour was still very much Sansa Stark and the embroidery had pale golden tones but woven through the story are ripe red pomegranates, the red colour symbolising the growing Lannister influence over her.

Ace discourse really is a long embarrassing list of events of exclusionists being flaming bigots isn’t it

rivainibabe replied to your post “read this many times and maybe you’ll stop harassing artists:…”

“worst thing in the DA Fandom” lmao I remember when I talked about modders white washing Vivienne and some white called me and my other black friends speaking up about it “the lynch mob”. Also had a Russian DA fan call us “darkies” in their language like it’s funny that we’re all fans of a game that explicitly talks about racism and oppression but we’re never allowed to speak about it in the fandom without white people (who almost always play elves) loosing their minds.

(Cause they care more about their fictional Daenerys looking elf OCs than they do real people)

But yeah seriously

>>don’t ask me her age I’m not quite sure what I want to make it either<< Oldest of eleven siblings and closest to her 4 year younger brother, Evunial, and youngest sister/sibling as a whole, Vanowen. Went to the conclave with her two-year younger brother, Pimet, and consequently wants Cory’s guts for the explosion that killed him. More agnostic than the rest of her family, but will defend the Dalish and their beliefs vehemently should anyone speak negatively without cause about them. Believes that the values they stand for are as good as any and strives to live by them.

The above bit is part of why it took her a while to warm up to Solas - he knows so much about the Fade! He’s right about how elves are going to be viewed after this and - hey waitaminute when did he get a stick shoved up his ass about the Dalish?

She did end up romancing him and she WANTS to stop him peacefully but won’t be surprised if (probably WHEN) it comes to blows. When it comes down to it her family matters most to her and if Solas threatens the rest of them because of his plans she’s ready to stop him forcefully.

Was friends with Cole and Dorian but mostly kept to herself.

Mage who started off pretending to be an archer. A VERY lucky archer when it came to close quarters combat. She can shoot a bow just fine at range, but how she usually wound up getting out of cqc fights with little more than scratches for her proclaimed lack of knowledge in the area was the best ‘luck streak’ her companions knew of. Her cover was blown when Corypheus attacked Haven and she was forced to use magic to keep herself warm enough and healed enough to follow the Inquisition through the mountains. She started training as a Knight Enchanter shortly after arriving at Skyhold and once she actually started using magic was renowned as one of the fiercest battlemages on the field.

Personal hc - I really like to think that she was a powerful mage before the mark, so with the mark she was able to learn to be a dreamer mage as well.

Marian Hawke

I don’t really have much for her. I’m not as attached to my Hawke as I am to my DAO and DAI characters. I’m undecided about whether or not she romanced Fenris or Anders. Canonically it used to be Anders but considering certain circumstances in my real life ((Read: Long story short, I had to live with a horrible person who really liked Anders. Kind of hypocritical considering what Anders stands for but y’know.)) Not his fault, but I grew really disinterested in him as a character. Which sucks. 

I’m still in camp ‘Anders did nothing wrong except being rude to Merrill’ but I just can’t with him. If any ace + aro friendly Andersmancers want to talk headcanons with me PLEASE feel free because I’m not letting my asshole ex-roommate ruin his character for me.

Healer mage, sarcastic personality with a hint of diplomatic when tasteful and/or necessary. Friends with Carver because fuck you and your contrived preset sibling rivalries BioWare, I’ll be best friends with my little brother and you can’t stop me. Sided with the mages and let Anders live.

Would punch Cullen Rutherford on sight.

Sharlena “Lena” Surana

No pictures sadly. Imagine pasty ghosty white skin and black hair. Wears glasses. ~~i can’t see eye colors in origins very well so imagine any eye color for her idc~~

Snarky, closed off mage. Tried to play by Circle rules during her Origin because she wanted to be a model mage, said “Fuck it all” promptly 20 minutes later when Dickhead Knight Commander wanted to get her in trouble for playing along. Regrets ruining her friendship with Jowan over a group that doesn’t even see her as trustworthy and valuable. Distrusts all Templars because of this.

Romanced Alistair. Was kind of dense and didn’t know he was flirting with her until he gave her the rose. She preserved it with magic and wears it with her on her journeys. She wasn’t too keen on him when she heard he was a Templar but she did relax a bit once she learned it wasn’t his choice.

Grew comfortable around him after a few weeks adventuring and quietly began being a bit friendlier. She helped repair the amulet Fiona left Alistair. (I refuse to believe it was a Chantry amulet though.) He gave her the rose shortly after. While she was a bit blindsided by it, it wasn’t unwelcome either. Alistair was cute and kind, and maaaaaaaaaaaaybe she had a tiny bit of a crush.

And that was that. I like to think in my canon she refused to talk to Alistair about the dark ritual but he guessed something was up and went to find answers for himself, and agreed, on his own terms, to it to save both their lives. (Because no way in HELL was he going to get the final blow in if she was alive.)

They killed the Archdemon, saw Anora crowned as Queen, and left to help clear out remaining Darkspawn.

Another personal hc - I like to think Lena asked Morrigan how she was able to have a child with a Gray Warden, and if she could be taught at least, the part of the ritual that facilitated the chances of having a child. It worked and they had a child, named Valyrae.

Asked Zevran to teach her to dual wield and became an Arcane Warrior. Later tempered this with a BIT of healing magic training, but she’s still the small warrior who can, should, must, and will kick darkspawn ass.

Would punch Cullen Rutherford x2.
