#Non-GreedFall

[white-whaale]

I think I gotta rebrand myself and become the Niche Games Guy of my friend group

[moniquill]

Without telling you what panels I’m pitching for, these are my pitches

I am indigenous (Seaconke Wampanoag) and intend to be alive in the future; I'd like to talk about #Landback and the expectations vs realities of indigenous soverignty - consider https://www.tumblr.com/moniquill/746982334875729920?source=share

I've written many, many essays about this:

https://moniquill.tumblr.com/post/165881710831/so-today-i-read-a-book-called-sister-raven

https://moniquill.tumblr.com/post/616835845035589632/im-going-to-talk-about-greedfall-fight-me

https://moniquill.tumblr.com/tagged/cultural%20appropriation

and also I want to talk about the existence of this book by beloved author Susan Cooper: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17170557-ghost-hawk and Rowling's Ilvermorny.

I want to talk about indigenous land management systems, particularly in the Northeast US, and settlers 'first contact' with those environments.

I want to talk about Colonialism as a villain.

I just want to talk about the insustainability of non-biodegradable fibers, and how laundry sheds microplastics.

I wrote https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/706010/to-shape-a-dragons-breath-by-moniquill-blackgoose/

I want to talk about colonialism as a feature of sci-fi in the past and present.

I'd really like to talk about the rise of 'puriteens' and 'antis' in fandom spaces online, as well as Porn Purges in places like FF.Net and Wattpad.

I'd like to talk about AU conventions and the existence of the Alpha/Beta/Omega shared universe (for example) - shared conventions of fanfiction spaces that cross fandoms.

I want to talk about antivaxxers, flat earthers, Facebook Mom groups, and 'alternate archeology'

My entire conception of Fantasy as a kid was shaped by Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Willow, The Neverending Story, The Last Unicorn, Flight of Dragons, the Rankin-bass versions of The Hobbit and LOTR, The Secret of Nimh, Return to Oz, etc

I want to talk about what constitutes 'tech' at all; about degrowth in solarpunk futures - it's not just AI that might force us to abandon some aspects of tech, there's also sustainability to think about. Also I was alive in the 90's before 'smart' anything existed and didn't get my first smartphone until after college.

I want to talk about the idea that Dystopia is when things that are currently happening to marginalized people happen to dominant populations.

I'd like to talk about Dangerous Visions and Again, Dangerous Visions as well as the Young X series of anthologies edited by Asimov - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/2089882 , https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1499362.Young_Ghosts etc

I want to talk about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Tongue_(Elgin_novel) and the presumptions made by it; https://moniquill.tumblr.com/post/187857039061/so-i-read-the-second-book-in-the-native-tongue#notes

And about Robin Wall Kimmer's reflections on The Language of Animacy: https://orionmagazine.org/article/robin-wall-kimmerer-language-animacy/

I'm especially interested in the ethics portion here and want to draw parallels between terraforming and indigenous land management practices.

Interested in weighing in as a human with a presumably functional womb that I've actively chosen not to use

[astral-express-family]

The name's Fate!

Young Adult, he/it/she/they <3

I am a genderqueer polyamorous lesbian-

I have a taglist form if you're interested!

If you know me from my main, hi! Don't tell anyone please.

Dipping my toes into the self-ship community, might not post a whole lot. Not gonna share my main blog on here just yet. If you know me on my main/figure out my main (or any of my sides), please leave it over there. Fuck it. My main/fandom blog is @mb-blue-roses, and i interact from @arty-girl-asks. I'll probably focus more on my familial self-ships than my romantic ones, though I have some of both.

I don't mind people sharing f/os with me, romantic or platonic! (the only exception are my OCs, unless you ask permission first)

In fact, I love to interact w/ people who share my f/os! Whether it be in the same way or differently, we can share our love for them.

Nothing NSFW in the inbox though, I'm ace & don't want that. Also, proship DNI! Please don't call me "honey", it makes me deeply uncomfortable!

All original posts will be tagged #💛❤️💜 brought together by fate 💜❤️💛

All reblogs will be tagged as #💛❤️💜 fate's reblogs 💜❤️💛

18+ posts will be very rare - but on the occasion I do, they'll be tagged with #fatefully spicy

☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

Please don't talk to me about the following ships (I don't care if you ship them, I just don't wanna hear about it): Itt.orou (Genshin), Kaz.orou (Genshin), Cyn.ari (Genshin), Jean.luc (Genshin), Robin.hill (Honkai), Rib.bun (TADC), Korsi.mint (Hi-Fi RUSH)

☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

I have a separate selfship blog dedicated to my ships from a game with more NSFW character designs, as I don't feel comfortable posting them on here (even though none of the characters with those designs are actually f/os)

If you want the link/blog name, send an ask (off-anon, so I can answer privately) or DM me!!

Note: I will NOT be giving the link to anyone under 18 years of age

☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

Since I self-ship partially as a coping mechanism, I will probably post some more serious posts with them from time to time. I will make sure to tag all posts appropriately.

Tags I will use will be #serious post, #trigger tw (ex: #disordered eating tw), and sometimes (if I'm not sure exactly what tags to use) #ask to tag.

☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

Self-insert info can be found here!

Dragon Age questions: 3, 6, 11, 19

3. Do you usually play as a warrior, mage, or rogue? Which class are you planning to try first this time around? Which subclass?

I think I answered the first part of this before and forgot the second part, so you get that. xD If I play my intended canon first, it'll be a Champion warrior bc I love a good paladin archetype. If I don't do that, probably mage, and I haven't heard the subclasses for that yet.

6. Do you have your Rook(s) planned out to any degree? If so, would you share some details or ideas you have?

Somewhat. I'm always flexible with my plans this long before getting to actually see the character creator, lol.

The intended canon is a male dwarf Champion, probably Lord of Fortune background. Thinking either Kirrav or Valtor for the name. (Kirrav bc I think it sounds cool, Valtor bc that's the name of a Cadash I have who's flirting with Harding so I think it'd be funny to just sort of... bump him a game so he can actually get the girl xD)

Also toying with pulling over Charlize Caron, one of my Orlesian Wardens from Awakening, solely because I shipped her with Seneschal Varel and I feel like she'd be 👀 at Emmerich lol. She's also a warrior, not sure what her subclass would be.

OR one of my kid!OCs, Marra, would be old enough now(she was 5-ish in Awakening) to be a protag. I'd probably make her a mage, Veil Jumper or Shadow Dragon faction. Likely romance would be Davrin, rooted in her being obsessed with Wardens since my Tabris saved Amaranthine. :D (starts as asking him about Wardens, turns into "hey, you're cool, I like you as a person)

I really wanna play a qunari rouge. No thoughts beyond that. I just really wanna do it.

11. What's one thing you'd really like to see in this next game?

Non-life threatening cameos for previous game companions/NPCs. Like I'd love to see Sigrun/Nathaniel/Charade/etc but only if it's not gonna get them killed. xD

19. Are you planning to replay any of the previous games, watch Dragon Age: Absolution, or read any of the books/comics/short stories, or are there other games you want to play in the meantime?

Not really planning a replay directly because of this releasing, no. I have a DA:O replay I'm working through with Trinne that's my "research for OWaP" game, but for the most part my gaming for now is LOTRO, SWtOR, and WotR. Depending on how the release dates line up, I will almost definitely play Greedfall The Dying World and Avowed before DA4, tho.

INFO & NAV FOR MOBILE

Hello everyone, I’m Mono, I’m 33, and I go by she/her but I’m not super fussed about pronouns for myself. Sims 4 was my first Sims game and I have yet to try any others but I plan to (a friend already sent me their 3). This is a Sims 4 blog only for now. I post a little bit of everything here (from building, to CAS, to gameplay, and maybe SOMETIMES stories), but I lean heavier towards CAS creation (making Sims is my passion).

The blog will be VERY occult-heavy (mostly vampires, but plenty of my own made supernatural creatures as well), so if you’re not a big occult person you may not like a good chunk of my posts. There’s also LOTS of fandom sims – primarily Dragon Age & SWTOR, but whatever fandom tickles my fancy may end up in my game (mostly just CAS pics of them or posed pics in-game, very little gameplay of the fandom sims). I try to keep more Maxis-match leaning, but tend to be more Maxis-mix for my fandom sims.

I am WCIF-freindly, but if you’re too paranoid to send an ask (I get it, social anxiety is total ass – I do have anon on tho), I do have a resources page for my main genetics, and while I have too much CC to list all my resources, I have listed the creators who are my favorites that I have most their stuff of. My blog is currently under a bit of re-organization so don’t mind the messy tags or links that lead nowhere – this will be slow progress but I WILL get it done!

OH RIGHT Vasco Greedfall for character opinion

MY TEMPEST hahahahahaha okay I'm so normal (I'm not). yeah I guess you already got the idea of how I feel about him.

How I feel about this character see above :) also yeah Vasco let's sail somewhere far away, I'm so done with this shit.

All the people I ship romantically with this character Vasco/male de Sardet is canon to me. period.

My non-romantic OTP for this character I like the dynamic he has with Kurt. both are captains and I bet they have a lot of funsies to tell each other.

My unpopular opinion about this character (I'm not really in the fandom so I have no idea what is popular/unpopular) he doesn't need to be so cute and neither needs he to be such a hopeless romantic! it's just impossible to not love him /j

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. OHHHHHHH I really wish he got a chance to explain what his tattoos mean. I want to know his story. I want to study him under microscope.

[haledamage]

Oh there are so many good ones, but I’m gonna go with either aspectabund or petrichor for Nadia/Kurt bc I must ENABLE😇

aaaaand here’s the other one 😁 (first one is here)

aspectabund - letting emotion show easily through the face or eyes

have 2000 words of pure hurt/comfort! putting everything including the notes under the cut because it’s pretty spoilerific

Takes place right after the Prince’s Secret/Treason!/Suffering of Constantin parade of earth-shattering revelations. That was a really rough day for De Sardet and I wanted Nadia to get a chance to actually process it before moving on to the next adventure. Nadia/Kurt, pre-relationship but only barely (like, literally the difference of a matter of days. They would have left to deal with Major Hermann in the morning 😉)

---

They had only just stepped into the warmth and relative safety of the De Sardet residence before Nadia left the room with barely a word or glance at any of her companions. Kurt felt her gentle dismissal like a blow to his chest, and the quiet click of her bedroom door latch carved a hollow space behind his rib cage. It didn’t feel right for her to be alone with her sorrows, no matter that at least some of the blame for her pain could be laid squarely at his feet.

He only realized he’d moved to follow her when a hand fell on his shoulder. When he turned to confront its owner, he found Vasco there, his expression grave enough to disperse Kurt’s anger before it had a chance to build. “Best leave her be. She’s had a trying day. Give her time.”

He was right. Kurt knew he was right. That didn’t mean he had to like it, but he tried to listen to his advice nonetheless.

He went to his own room, right across the hall from Nadia’s, and mindlessly stripped off his armor and weapons with the conciseness of routine. He tried not to think too much about the blood he washed off his skin, or if he’d known the person it belonged to; they had made their choice, and so had he.

Clean and dressed, Kurt was out of distractions. He considered patrolling around the property on the off chance that someone lurked with the intent to do Her Excellency harm, but instead of reaching for his sword he found himself reaching for the door handle. His feet carried him across the hall before he’d asked them to. It was only at the terse tap tap tap of his own knock that he realized he was at her door.

The woman who answered the door was not the Nadia de Sardet he thought he knew. He’d known her more than half her life and always she’d been a lively creature, clever and curious and full of mischief. But not now. Now she looked delicate and subdued, her normally bright blue eyes dull and ringed in red, ginger hair bedraggled and falling from its crown. She was still wearing her armor, caked in mud and blood and who knew what else. Her hand clenched tightly on the edge of the door, but it wasn’t enough to hide the way it trembled.

She was beautiful even so. He felt guilty for thinking it at a time like this, but not enough to consider taking it back.

“Kurt.” She tried to smile at him, but it fell far short of believable. Her voice shook like her hands did. “Is something the matter?”

“I think I should be asking you that question.” He clasped his hands behind his back like he was presenting himself to a superior officer for inspection, weighing his words and movements carefully so as not to bludgeon through this. She looked like a strong wind or word would break her entirely. “Can I come in?”

“Of course.” Even after everything that had happened, she didn’t hesitate before stepping aside in silent invitation. He slipped past her into the room before she could change her mind.

Everything looked completely untouched. A bath had been drawn for her, but the water remained pristine and had been left to cool. Nadia’s sword and rucksack sat in a chair against the wall, but they were the only sign anyone had stepped foot in this room in weeks.

Nadia herself still hovered by the closed door, arms wrapped around herself but shoulders straight. Her voice was stronger but still far too small. “Please tell me you aren’t here with any new world-shattering revelations. I don’t think my heart can take any more.”

“I just wanted to see you,” he assured her quickly. “Check on you, make sure you were…” The last word turned to ash in his mouth. Of course she wasn’t okay. That she was still even trying to smile was nothing short of a miracle.

“I’m fine,” she lied. She made no attempt to make it sound believable.

“No you’re not, Nadia. You don’t have to be.” She sagged, as if him calling her by name had severed the last of the bravado holding her upright. He caught her before she could collapse, one hand on her elbow and the other cupping her cheek. “Let me help you.”

She studied his face for a long moment, though what she was looking for he had no idea. Kurt let her search as long as she wanted, letting his thumb trace a line along the edge of her jaw as she did. He could feel her mark under his fingers, smooth lines and whorls like that of a newly-inked tattoo or the veins of a leaf.

Her eyes fluttered shut and she nuzzled into his hand, letting out a sigh of what sounded like relief. Then, finally, she nodded in assent.

Slowly and carefully, he helped her disrobe. It wasn’t the first time he’d seen her naked--bathing in rivers and dressing each other’s wounds were part of the life they led, and he was too old to blush at the sight of a bit of bare skin, no matter who it belonged to. A traitorous part of his mind - one that had grown vocal of late, no matter how much he tried to push it away - wished that the circumstances were different, that he could be undressing her with a different outcome in mind, but he squashed that thought as soon as it arose. He wouldn’t take advantage of her distress like that, would not allow himself to consider such a thing right now.

Nadia was completely compliant under his direction, silent and passive as he removed her armor and led her to the bath. She didn’t so much as flinch at the touch of the cold water as he cleaned the blood and dirt from her skin as gently as possible. Kurt gave her a quick cursory search for injuries, but it seemed she’d at least had the wherewithal to heal herself at some point. Satisfied, he dressed her in fresh clothes and led her to the edge of the bed.

He sat next to her and set about unbraiding her hair. It was tangled and wild, and he considered brushing it for her as well, but didn’t trust himself to be gentle enough to do so without hurting her. Perhaps he should ask one of the others to help with that, later on.

And then Kurt was out of things to do and had no idea what to say to fill the quiet. He shouldn’t linger past his welcome, he told himself, no matter how much he might selfishly wish to remain in her company.

He climbed reluctantly to his feet, but stood in front of her a moment longer to see if she awoke from her trance. She didn’t, and so he reached out to rest his hand on the crown of her head in a way he hoped she found comforting. “Get some rest, Green Blood. If you need anything at all, you come find me. I’m right across the hall.”

Nadia still didn’t answer, and so he sighed and turned to leave.

“Kurt.” Her hand shot out and grabbed his. There was life in her eyes again when he turned back to her. “Thank you. For this and for… everything.” She looked away, distracting herself by tracing the lines of old scars on his hand, her touch light and yet deliberate. Kurt tried not to shiver at the sensation. “I can’t imagine how difficult of a decision it must have been. What you did today. I hope you don’t regret it.”

“The only thing I regret is that I couldn’t tell you sooner.” When Nadia didn’t look back up, he knelt in front of her, raising the hand that she didn’t still cling to up to her face to get her to meet his gaze again. Her eyes shimmered with tears, only barely held at bay. “D’you want to know why I did what I did? Why I chose you over the Coin Guard? Because they tried to order me to kill you, and you are sitting here crying your eyes out worried about how I feel about it.”

He’d told her once that her soft heart would get her killed one day. As it turned out, it may have been what saved her life - or saved his.

Her bottom lip quivered until she clenched her jaw to force it to still, but the action made the tears finally spill over, falling silently down her cheeks. He brushed them away, though more fell to take their place almost immediately. “Though I would bet these tears aren’t all for me, are they, Green Blood?” 

She shook her head, though he didn’t really need the confirmation; the last day had brought revelations from every corner, but worst for her would be Constantin’s condition. Her cousin had always been her closest friend, and he might be considered her only real remaining family. 

Kurt tried to force a bit of optimism in his voice, though he doubted it was convincing. “He’ll be okay. If anyone can save him, it’s you.”

“I couldn’t save my mother.” Nadia’s voice broke, and with it the last of her composure. “Can I even still call her that?”

Times like this served to remind Kurt that he did in fact still have a heart, because he could feel it break for her. Tears stung the back of his own eyes for a moment before he forced them away and sat on the bed once more, then gathered her into his arms. “Come here. I’ve got you.”

She buried her face in his shoulder with a whimper, gripping his shirt with a surprising strength, and finally let herself go.

Her body shook with the strength of her sobs, as if all of the day’s events struck her at once and tried to tear her asunder. Kurt held her through it all, whispering things he would only half remember if he tried to think of them later, attempts at comfort and confessions and promises that he knew neither of them would ever hold him to.

At some point, they fell back on the bed and Nadia pressed herself to his side like she was made to fit there. He continued to hold her close, stroking her back and hair until she had finally cried herself out and relaxed against him.

“Thank you, Kurt.” She stretched up and kissed him on the cheek. It was a familiar motion - Nadia had always been free and easy with her affections when it came to those she cared about - but this time it burned like a brand, leaving a claim on him for the world to see. “I don’t know where I’d be without you.”

He pressed a kiss to the top of her head and murmured against her hair, “You’ll never have to find out.” It was the easiest oath he’d ever had to make, and he meant it with every bone in his body.

The last of the tension bled out of her, and he could feel her go slack as sleep claimed her at last. 

He continued to caress her back for a while longer, the repetitive motion as soothing for him as it clearly was for her. He knew he should leave now that she was asleep, but he still couldn’t quite bring himself to move. He didn’t want to wake her, he reasoned to himself. She shouldn’t be left alone in this state. It would be easier to protect her if he stayed--just in case more trouble came for them.

He was still trying to convince himself when sleep dragged him under too.

[starfish-sims]

Welcome to Starfish’s Type is ALL OVER THE PLACE!!

My husband and I are playing through Greedfall for the first time, and it’s made me consider just how wacked I am with first choices for Romance Interests in these types of games 😂😂

More info on characters below the cut, if you're interested in other games than the Sims ;)

I play a lot of games with romancable companions (the Mass Effect and Growlanser-series are my fav RPG franchises of all time, and both have this element).

Looking at the best western RPGs of this type (Bioware's two behemoths and Greedfall):

MASS EFFECT

First choice for the Mass Effect trilogy was Garrus Vakarian (bc I have good taste). I was majorly bummed out when he wasn't romancable in the first game, so I romanced Kaiden. Then I got to the second game and Garrus WAS romancable, so I, ofc, replayed the entire first game to leave my Shep free for this beautiful birdman.

Garrus' personality (for the uninitiated) is a disillusioned cop, who hates red tape and wants to do good on his own terms, often playing fast-and-loose with the rules to get the job done. He is pragmatic and loyal, but not afraid to call out stupid-ass decisions. He is also a hilariously awkward in romance contexts (in 2) and understands the difference on when to make jokes and when to be serious (GREAT social skill to have. My husband lacks that XD).

DRAGON AGE

Moving on to another Bioware-classic, the Dragon Age series, my favorite romance out of them all is Iron Bull (particularly with a dwarf inquisitor *evil snicker*). (For Origins, my favorite is Zevran. For II, my fav is Fenris (largely due to his AMAZING Voice Actor, Gideon Emery).

Iron Bull is the leader of very diverse mercenary company, including dwarves and elves, mages and warriors, a transgender lieutenant and a very horny (both senses of the word) Qunari at the top. I always loved the Qunari as a race - they are interesting - and having a cheeky, charismatic mercenary, whose expansive experience with other cultures makes him capable of explaining the Qun to other cultures, was an amazing choice. And Freddy Prinze Jr. does a GREAT job with his voice.

GREEDFALL

I fell in love at first sight with the one and only Captain Vasco.

A hardworking and snarky Naut (Greedfall's pirates, except they are like a people with their own individual culture), who is struggling with his identity, but fiercely loyal to his people and his crew, and generally a very decent type with good humor.

I've completed two of his companion quests so far, and his complicated emotional range and general acceptance of other people's inputs has earned him my respect, while his cheeky grin and tongue-in-cheek commentary on the main character's actions has earned him my affections XD

[vakariaan]

[shadowcutie]

Lynette de Sardet, Legate of the Congregation of Merchants, at your service.

[sleepfight]

Trying to get a good screenshot on PS4 is a pain in the ass but here is my lovely boy, Percival De Sardet. He is a big mama’s boy with a huge heart and a tiny brain, just a big, lovable dumb fuck who somehow managed to train as a tank without accidentally killing anyone. He is trans but this is a very well-guarded secret at court and Constantin and Kurt are the only people outside of the immediate family who know. He becomes more open about himself and his journey after spending time with the Nauts who I hc as having much less rigid definitions/expectations of gender.

He could also use a haircut but he likes it when Vasco combs it for him so he’s content being scruffy.

[panking-finn]

i'm playing through greedfall and i'm only slightly miffed that you can't romance kurt if you play as male!de sardet

[slories]

me: I’ll play Greedfall, it’s a rpg with companions and romance. Exactly the kind of game I like!

Also me: I’ll take the non-romanceable character and the bad ending, thank you.
