And people still say Anders "Went too far"

You cannot imagine it, Anders. All the color, all the music in the world, gone.

genuinely one of the most fucked up things dragon age ever did was let karl have a few last moments free of tranquility with anders without anyone understanding why or how this was even happening. and then have anders kill karl in what he believed was an act of mercy. and then later reveal that the cure for tranquility is not only known and accessible but has been actively kept secret. and then, upon this reveal, never do anything with any of this information or explore its ramifications with any tranquil or mage or anyone ever.

I hope people find some ideas for their own writing here. As I am going on an indefinite hiatus from writing. Take care everyone and thanks to everyone who shared this post around.

If anyone does write something inspired by this, I just ask that you credit me somewhere.

Much love

Some Mechposting Dynamics that Aren't "Sub Pilot/Dom Handler..."

Half-Feral Domme Pilot/Submissive Mech Repair Crewmember

Bed breaking hate-sex between rival pilots.

Psychosexual Relationship between a Pilot and their Mech's AI

Tender mutual unspoken understanding between Handlers and Pilots, both being the only people to truly know what the other is going through.

Dom Pilot/Sub Handler "You sent me into an ambush, I'm gonna fucking break you." (Bonus points for Bratty Handler)

Sub Pilot/Dom Implant Surgeon.

Feel free to add your own!

(And to be clear, nothing wrong with Sub Pilot/Dom Handler stuff, just thinking about other dymanics I'd find fun to write.)

I’m just saying if Daniel Radcliffe, the literal protagonist of the Harry Potter franchise since the age of ten years old, was able to disavow JK Rowling and move on from the HP universe then actually what the fuck is anyone else’s excuse. There is no one else on the planet who can say their entire childhood was HP more than that guy and he still cared about trans people more than the average tumblr user who says “we’re protesting by making all her characters queer and trans!!” like you can do better. You should do better.

also having your only romance options being a gaider character or a weekes character sounds like a meanspirited joke post i'd write about da writers i don't respect. but that is the real situation you're put in if you want to play a gay man in dragon age inquisition

these two are my personal favs btw. the undiluted essence of white canadian liberalism has reached maximum saturation here <3

Even then, the "Brides" are never actually called that in the book and given one looks similar to the Count I think the implication at least one of them is a relative, either a sister or a daughter.

What with how the past several decades of Dracula adaptations have been going, I feel like there's a golden opportunity for a meta version that appears to be going the "reincarnated One True Love" route at first, only for Mina to quickly figure out that this is just a pickup line/recurring scam Dracula dusts off every century or two. I'm picturing one of the Brides taking a weary drag on a cigarette all like "he said he'd crossed Oceans of Time to find you too, huh?"

upon learning that the upcoming Dracula movie is yet another Dracula/Mina romance, here is an incomplete list of things that would be more interesting in an adaptation than a Dracula/Mina romance:

A romance between Dracula and literally any other character

An origin story for the lady vampires

A feature length adaptation of the Demeter plot (yes, I know this exists already, it deserves more adaptations)

A Dracula origin story set at the Scholomance

Mina and Jonathan going into that "unknown and terrible land" together

Dracula deciding that, rather than just murdering people, he can offer sex in exchange for blood, and chooses to go to London to do this because the locals will not be receptive. He awkwardly tries to ask Jonathan about prostitution in London and Jonathan's proper gentleman sensibilities are affronted

Dracula gets committed to Seward's asylum, somehow

Dracula gets stuck in wolf form and gets adopted by one of the protagonists

Dracula and his ladies go to Van Helsing, expert on the occult that he is, to ask for help trying to conceive

The Crew of Light try to imprison Dracula rather than destroy him, theorizing that, if they can find a way to cure him, everyone he's turned will be cured

Dracula's sexy immortal vampire harem kicking him out of his own castle because they're sick of his shit

Dracula and Van Helsing as bitter exes

The solicitor who gets sent to Dracula is now Gabriel John Utterson, hoping for a nice relaxing vacation after all the Dr. Jekyll business

Sherlock Holmes, somehow

Dracula marries Mrs. Westenra

Dracula is in the Wild West and gets attacked by vampire hunting cowboys

Dracula being so creeped out by Renfield's obsession and vows of servitude that he flees to another country (to which Renfield follows him)

Oscar Wilde fucks Dracula

Any laborer of skill cares for their work

Having an extremely beloved canonical AroAce character accused of suppressing important emotions is EXTREMELY BAD.

[morgantheblue]

I wonder if all the people clamouring for a second season of the Acolyte will ever address the Acephobia with how they handled Vernestra Rwoh

Probably not, but hey, us Aspecs can dream.

Aristander is only ever called "Ari"

And also refers to other people exclusively by nicknames as well.

which oc goes only by a nickname?

[morgantheblue]

Aristander speaks English, French and occasionally dead languages no one remembers when the thing in the Cobweb speaks through them

Hello VtM players. What languages do your characters speak?

[morgantheblue]

I just cannot get over this. The city decision was added late in development. The only real choice the player gets to make until the finale and it was shoehorned in. The reason it didn't have far reaching consequences was because it was shoehorned in. It was shoehorned in. The one single choice, the 'got-ya' for people who claim that no real choices were made in dragon age the Veilguard. I just can't. What do you mean.

[morgantheblue]

Honestly tempted to close this blog.

Not for like, any big important reason. Just kinda sick of Tumblr being utterly allergic to any form of nuance.

[morgantheblue]

Does anyone else remember that Thedas has vampire myths and an in universe explanation for how the vampire myths came to be?
