#No shame to the others

[phantom-of-the-ruckus]

After giving a lot of thought today. I'll prop will leave EOA as a whole for a while. I never really felt confortable in the fandom in the first place (not to mention I know I'll be remember for creating that one ship. I own to that and I don't regrets what my idiot teenager self did. I am laughing about it because I did not expect it to get known in the fandom when I made it. I thought it would be just for once but welp )

I just want to distantance myself for a while as maybe I'll make a reflection on my numerous problems wirh the series in a future. No, I actually do agree Shuriki needed to die. I just like exploring Alternative universes and I often yeeted the cannon to learn (I have ideas for a fully reverse universe, but just with a platonic relationship + my actor AU)

I'll still like and reblog my friends stuff, but for now I won't do anything related + afrer taking some Years away, I am a bit disturbed by some aspects of the fandom (which were also reasons why I didn't want to intermingle + I am sure I got blocked by so many people. I no longer care and I can understand. )

So thank you for reading this, and no this is not about Esteriki.

"oh please everyone has gay thoughts sometimes" so what i'm hearing is that heteronormativity is so ingrained that a significant percentage of the population regularly experiences bisexual attraction? but dismisses it as something that all straight people experience? this is so concerning are you guys okay

Actually I think we should talk about how incredibly fucked up it is for sapphic women to say shit like "I'm no better than a straight man 😔" when attracted to a woman in a way that isn't 100% pure and wholesome, or act like men's attraction to women is inherently dirty, predatory, or objectifying.

i feel like the sex negativity in ace spaces is....not a widespread problem, but getting to be a bit of a loud one. like, the vast majority of aces aren't puritans, but much like how terfs keep trying to claim its a Lesbian Thing to be transphobic despite the vast majority of lesbians being trans-inclusive, i think there's a certain subsection of aces trying to claim its an Ace Thing to shame people for having and talking about sex. cut that shit out.

I think what really bothers me about fanon!Astarion isn't just the woobification. That happens to every problematic white boy. It's annoying, but not news. It's that almost every trait that the fandom assigns him is something that is already explored through a different character in this very game

You want a character that's too focused on the task at hand to want to stop and help innocents? That's Lae'zel! Astarion is cool with dicking around, but Lae'zel spends most act 1 actively in a panic about the tadpole and pushes you to just find a cure already

You want a trauma survivor that is mostly self-serving but can't help but care about people in a similar situation? Well, Astarion disaproves of you helping slaves, but Shadowheart really wants you to look out for kids! Even when she gets tortured for it!

You want someone who is prone to sympathizing with the monstrous? Despite being a monster hunter, it's Wyll that has that covered! Astarion doesn't even like you sympathizing with a recently orphaned goblin kid

You want a proper courtship with a prince charming? That's literally Wyll's romance!

You want a character that tries very hard to be bad, but deep down enjoys doing the right thing, and starts to accept that over the course of the game? Shadowheart again! A massive part of her story is just that

You want the angst of a character still having been a minor when entering their abusive situation? That's the case for literally everybody except for him and maybe Karlach! He was an adult with a job

None of this is meant to be an attack on Astarion as a character, but pushing all those traits on him does the game a massive disservice. All these character's storylines exist in conversation with each other, they all benefit from the existence of the others. To instead pretend all those things apply to one character, is just

Well, it's incredibly boring

the long way down job is such an important turning point in eliot & parker’s relationship bc they’d both been viewing the things they have in common as fairly negative: they’ve both been told that they’re cold and ruthless and dangerous and they know those things are true. so when they’ve recognised themselves in each other, it’s been a sense of "the thing that’s wrong with me is a lot like the thing that’s wrong with you". and there’s comfort in that, in a way. but now eliot gets parker to see that maybe those aren’t all negative traits, they’re just… traits. neutral. it doesn’t make them bad or good, it makes them who they are. and now when they see themselves reflected in each other, it’s not a reminder that they’re wrong and bad - it’s kinship, it’s familiarity, it’s belonging.

What Americans know as "Danish pastries" is actually something called a 'spandaur' and it only represents a fraction of the pastries integral to Danish life. Here's a few more commonly available pastries:

Spandauer - Kanelsnegl - Fastelavnsbolle

Napoleonshat - Tebirkes - Brunsviger

Hindbærsnitte - Kransekage - Medalje

Kajkage - Gåsebryst - Kartoffelkage

Linse - Træstamme - Wienerstang

Kanelstang - Frøsnapper - Studenterbrød

Kokostop - Chokoladetrekant - Kaffebrød

Makronsnitte - Nøddesnitte Smørstang

Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.

If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.

Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.
