In my mind Solas starts out reluctant to show Lavellan his shapeshifted giant wolf form because to him it represents the parts of him he doesn't want his vhenan to see, it only comes out when he's about to give someone a legendary ass whooping, etc. Then a couple years later he's letting their children ride around on his back like the dread doggy express.

it's always a good day to think about fives and crosshair as each others' foils

thinking about the possible constraints of healing in Thedas (discussions of injuries/slavery/organ trade)

like obviously you can heal a wound, knit slashed skin and broken bone back together, yada yada

my headcanon is that a healer likely can't create anything from thin air. if someone has lost a ton of blood, then they might need to recover that naturally. if someone's leg was entirely destroyed, that's not recoverable but the healer could make sure they don't die. same thing with someone who lost an eyeball, the healer can't create one out of nowhere so they better still have it. someone who lost an eye 7 years ago can't visit a healer today and get a new eye. nothing in the skill trees or codex really negates this but i could be wrong

though that does beg the question...... could someone bring someone else's fresh eye and get it, uhhhhh, installed?

and if healers can re-attach body parts (much like doctors can today), that opens up a whole new can of worms, particularly on the topic of slavers and slaves. it would create an illegal market for body parts. 'misbehaving' slaves won't just be killed, they might be parted out for profit :/ or slavers might only deal in the slave-organ trade

it is again bedtime and. what happened why didnt the crocheting happen again. perhaps i can make something in these <2 hours before midnight. . . . .

[onceuponaladye]

I'm super bored

So why did I get the inclination to crochet a Kaveh-inspired blanket when I can barely crochet scarves

#i often think about how though fanart tends to portray loki as being the more vampiric of the two bc he has a sharp face & looks like lugosi #technically thor and odin and asgard fit much more closely #the theme of vampirism much better than loki does. i like to say loki fits more into the werewolf. myth!loki is the father of the wolf #though loki is not exempt from showcasing vampiric traits; which are notably strongest when he's lashing out and trying to embody asgard

(via @lokiinmediasideblog on this post)

moving this to a different post bc the other was already quite long and vampire/werewolf imagery is a slightly different topic but. i've never thought about this much but YEAH

i would say that loki's werewolf traits are:

the equation of jotuns to monsters and monsters to animals

literal shapeshifting; a "monster" behind a "human" face

metaphorical shapeshifting (a talented liar with a variety of personas)

being torn between two identities/worlds being unable to fully belong in either

suppressing the anger/trauma/"monster" inside him for as long as possible before completely losing control

collars and chains (generally canine, trying to tame a wolf into a dog; but also particularly norse-myth-relevant, re the wolf in chains!)

and the vampire traits of asgard are:

cannibal imagery, already discussed

undeadness/ghostliness (loki and thor each come back from the dead at least once; i have a whole tag for the associated imagery + implications)

near-immortality (especially how thor outlives everyone he loves)

being associated with ravens (an omen of death)

being associated with blood ("knee-deep in jotun blood"; "to the last drop of asgardian blood"; etc) and vivid shades of red

hereditary wealth and power / vampires as the ruling class

vampire thralls - loki's literal mind control, but also the non-magical manipulation and conditioning that leaves loki feeling existential horror at the fact that he never chose to love his adoptive family and he cannot stop no matter how hard he tries.

i wouldn't go as far as "demonic" or "unholy"... but asgardians have certainly been "false gods" in the past. they've made people they oppress worship them to present their rule as natural and inescapable... and there is an unspoken possibility that this involved human sacrifice.

is there anything else you would add?

the difference between 2020 and 2024 is the same as the difference between 2016 and 2020

[otome-dissection]

i always forget about religion of loneliness for a while and then I suddenly remember the lyrics again and read them over again and then it ends up colliding with whatever hyperfixation i'm on like a semitruck every single time
