yeah i do think it really sucks actually that we finally get dwarf lore this game but it’s handled so poorly and completely at the expense of the elves. i also dont like that it flattens the dwarves & ignores what lore we have seen previously.

@ikarons pointed out to me that kal-sharok specifically is the thaig that destroyed the original cadash thaig for sheltering elves fleeing the tevinter emperium after the fall of artlathan (which is a huge glaring piece of information to exclude here). kal-sharok has both been previously abandoned to die by their own people and also committed horrific acts of violence and they are completely separate from orzammar (and resent them!) but this game presents the dwarves as this homogeneous entity that doesn’t hold any fault or complexity... we know there is a huge variation in dwarf culture and politics that just doesn't get acknowledged at all; they do them a huge disservice by focusing entirely on Harding and how special she is and how evil the evanuris are.

this was a real missed opportunity in my opinion to give more depth to both the evanuris and the dwarves, but we lose all of that in this game because people can only be good or bad and we can’t have any nuance, it was all the evanuris's fault and they did it just because they're so evil. and we'll blame the elves, too, while we're at it. sad!

Come 2025, I think people should have it stamped in their brain that if they're going to rant about a ship, DON'T TAG IT SO SHIPPERS CAN SEE IT!!

I also think that if you already tagged the post to be anti-*whatever the ship* then you don't use the main ship tag for it.

HP idea

(obligatory Fuck Joanne beginning)

post-war fic following Ron Weasley.

The newspapers run the narrative that a lot of HP fics use about him (possessive, lazy, stupid, abusive partner, not really a good friend while giving Hermione all of the credit for the win against Voldemort)

He deals with regular young adult issues (striking out on his own, what to do with his life, maturing, and the political sphere) while handling everything that comes with being a war hero.

I think I'd like to make him a barrister. He's got the strategic mind for it, and, honestly, if I have him be a kinesthetic learner, it could be a good vehicle for him and Hermione to really figure out what's going on between us.

Reply with ideas, please :)

Why do you hate John?

- @average-dc-warlock

He took everything from me, just not psychically. My Life, My mind, and My 'family'. If there was any justice in this world I would’ve displayed his head on my mantle.

I just wish I remember what he did. All that I know is that it’s gone .. because of him.

[katyspersonal]

you would be alot happier if you got off tumblr/fromsoftware games discourse btw

I would be a lot happier if normies like you stopped infesting the fandoms. No, in all seriousness, I have no sympathy for people who think caring strongly about their interests and creativity and community and wanting the fandom to stop being toxic is some terrible thing.

Fandoms are primarily for autists, geeks, nerds, cringe weirdos, loosers and other people who could not or did not want to find happiness in the routines of real world, not for normies who just cOnSuMe CoNtEnT in their spare time or advertise themselves. If you think being a fan and being in a fandom is not about strong passion and investment, fine, but then you are a GUEST in fandoms as a concept, not the PURPOSE of them. And if you think that getting angry at seeing people mistreat each other over headcanons and preferences and not wanting them to kill down others creative spark before it could become a fire over petty snobbish reasons is something "wrong" that I should "overcome", then YOU should be the one to get out of the internets, because clearly you are on the "but people in the internet aren't real humans and nothing that happens here is real 🥺" side.

I am irritated because humans are irritating, not because I am using Tumblr or like Soulsborne. When I am at work or other place IRL, I likewise scold people for being unfair, and if you bothered learning more about me before sending your stupid passive-aggressive message, you'd know that I've gotten into literal fights at my work because when others put up with dumb shit our coworkers did for the sake of avoiding extra stress, I called them out. And they didn't take it well because they were drunk and aggressive people in general. Also a recent funny situation was when a customer started to boast to his friend about using AI "art" and training it to basically make scripts and videos for him requiring minimum effort, on his words I quote, "I like creating so much" I straight up interrupted my work to scold him for being just a lazy thief, "loving creativity" so much that he did everything in his powers to NOT create and parasiting on hard work of other people. Then I call my mom to argue about artistic desicions of directors of the movies she unfairly trashed because of her very narrow idea of what makes "good art". Do you see it? That the real life is not some safe haven from the internet?

I am "unhappy" because someone does or says dumb shit that isn't fair and then people like you wish people like me were silent about it and this is what society stands on and will always stand on. I am just a person like this. And the question of how I am not fired and nor even got a trouble from my boss goes into the same place as the question of why you bothered sending me a passive-aggressive anon if you by your own admission don't think anything about "fandom discourse" deserves any attention. Just block me to not see my rants and go back in your circle of fans who apparently feel superior over "not caring". Hypocrite.

i suddenly feel like writing some peishui out of spite.

[bunabi]

on the topic of dai combat, my favorite memory is when i was fighting my first dragon but everyone but cassandra died so i SOLO'D IT WITH HER. the shield skills are too powerful & its wonderful

I love that lol

yeah building up stacks of armor with the warriors felt very satisfying, especially after spending most of the early game relying on barrier, becoming the physical wall of the party was cool

it just works etc etc

I hate when people act like being diagnosed early is inherently a privilege, because in a lot of ways it really wasn't for me.

I didn't get accomodations. I wasn't met with understanding. I was abused even worse and made to feel like a defective human because I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 8. My abuser knew exactly what was "wrong" with me and he weaponized that against me nearly everyday. I was told explicitly so many. Fucking. Times. That I needed to hide my autism and "act normal" if I ever wanted to be accepted and not ostracized for the rest of my life. I was treated like I was a walking disease, and I was told a LOT that my diagnosis was an "epidemic" that needed to be cured. Do you realize what saying shit like that does to a person, especially a young kid? It took years of healing and radical self-acceptance to not see my diagnosis as a curse.

Don't get me wrong, a lack of an early diagnosis and/or being misdiagnosed can be (and oftentimes is) just as traumatizing for a lot of autistic people. But not everyone that is diagnosed early gets the accomodations and understanding that they need. I'd argue that a lot of us don't, myself included. If I had not been diagnosed while I was living with my abuser, would my abuse have been nearly as bad? (Although I'd rather not speculate on that, because, at the end of the day, I don't know. And I never will.)

I don't really know what I'm aiming for with this post, to be quite honest. I guess I just want another perspective on diagnosis out there.

Just because the grass LOOKS greener on the other side, doesn't mean it actually is.

[fallershipping]

the stupidest thing i've ever done was make a "So why do people gravitate towards Nanu instead of Looker" and got an entire rant about how Nanu is good baby bean and Looker is horrible and stupid

but I will say this: that will not make me like Nanu more LOOOOOL
