#ash: are you okay?

At what point do you think Ashlynn fully processed that her mother doesn’t have to die in a few years? When the book she signed was revealed to be fake? When Raven fused everyone with their destiny pages to confirm their free will? The next time she saw or talked about her mother? Was it a random moment, like she was reading in class or stocking shoes at the Glass Slipper or trying to get to sleep when it struck her that her mum could see her marry Hunter. Her mum could see her with grey hair. Her mum could be the first Cinderella ever to meet her grandchildren. No wicked stepmother. No years of abuse and servitude. No need for the happiness to be a reward at the end of the narrative. It’s over. They’re safe.

Reading books is so much better when you don't have annoying bitches in your ear telling you how horrible the book is and what “good” books you should read instead

"My Anatolia" & "My Alexander"

If DC remained truthful to their own canon, and let Talia lied about the miscarriage/abortion instead (like before the retcon, which the author admitted to have misremembered details for iirc), then my OTP since "Batman: The Animated Series", would have not crushed and burn like the city of Alexandria, rendered to ashes and dust that it could never be fully revived in canon.

Based on this panel from Boy Wonder (2024) by Juni Ba.

Headcanon: This is the rose of taif, you cannot convince me otherwise 😭

he’s the character of all time. he’s a final girl. he’s a final boy. he lives despite the odds every time. he dies almost immediately. he’s strikingly beautiful. he’s caked in blood and mud and guts. he cuts off his own hand. he’s a sweet lover boy mourning his true love. he’s a rabid and shameless chauvinist. he’s the prophesied hero. he’s a murder suspect. he’s a normal guy who hates all this and would rather be anyone else. he’s got an axe. he’s got a chainsaw. he’s got a shotgun. he’s got a prosthetic hand. eventually, someday, he’ll be the greatest hero of all time, and also be a minimum wage employee at a department store. what more could you want in a character

Thinking about how Dru, a girl born in 1999, and it’s currently 2015 in TWP, is going to have to explain to people that her boyfriend was born in 2008 but it’s okay because he’s 16/17

miles edgeworth is the only valid character, actually, bc if I thought for 15 years that I killed my own beloved father, only to find out from my childhood crush/current homoerotic rival interrogating a parrot that it was actually my new, adopted father who did that, and now my entire was in shambles because he also framed me specifically, I too would fake my own death and go to french clown school like is it fucked up? absolutely, but what the hell was he supposed to do with that lmao go back to the life von karma molded for him with nothing but revenge in mind? honestly faking his death was on the tame end of reasonable emotional responses in my humble opinion. imagine being in like a phd program since you were nine years old and at the end when you're supposed to get the degree they go whoops! we were totally silly and misplaced that! and also you're going to jail for murder teehee

me in 2011: idk Oghren wasn't my first choice who should be the returning companion from Origins to Awakening, but I like him. I think it was cool that they showed that just because he married Felsi, he's still fucked up from what happened with Branka and you can help him with some things that he wasn't ready to deal with in Origins so I guess it does make sense for him to return. also he's my bestie now, and I love him. :)

me in 2017: okay, yeah Oghren's writing and "jokes" often are the result of misogynistic and homophobic writing that plagues Origins, but let's not pretend Alistair doesn't also make openly misogynistic jokes and he's the fandom darling who "respects women." so let's not pretend this is about Oghren and social justice so much as it is about who the fandom at large finds fuckable.

me in 2025: fuck it, Oghren is utterly fascinating and rivals characters like Loghain and Morrigan in richness of character. he is a reflection of the ugliness of the Orzammar caste system and how even the relatively privileged warrior caste are chewed up and spit out by dwarven society once they stop being useful. by the nature of his caste, he was supposed to die a long time ago in battle, but because of his wife's elevated status as Paragon, they were thrown into a world they were both entirely unprepared for as that sort of class mobility is nigh impossible to achieve in Orzammar, and neither could adjust to a life of idle luxury. they hated each other, and still, that deeply ingrained sense of honor and loyalty has him track her down through the Deep Roads years after she abandoned him to his disgrace and witness the trail of horrors she left in her wake as she betrayed and sacrificed both her family and his to feed her obsession with the Anvil. and still, he thinks he can talk some sense into her and asks the Warden to spare her because that's his wife and perhaps, because he sees that same maddening lack of purpose in her that he feels in himself. worse yet, he is painfully aware of all this as evidenced by how he pre-emptively monologues all his faults and self-loathing to the Guardian in the Temple of Sacred Ashes before the Guardian has a chance to say anything. by his own admission, he is a thoroughly humiliated man who has lost his family twice over, his dignity, and now, his home. he is so thoroughly removed from what his culture taught him honor and purpose looks like, and unlike Sten, there is no easy fetch quest that can fix that. so of course, he spends the majority of Origins milling about in camp, drunk and unable to talk about much less move on from his grief. he only starts taking the smallest of steps towards a better life fairly late into his approval, the biggest of which is not completing his personal quest but by maxing out his approval and having real conversations with him about what happened with Branka and assuring him that he isn't useless and that he can change. of course, when he returns in Awakening, he is still only on the second half that journey. of course, he runs away from his responsibilities out of fear of fucking it up again when traveling with the Warden is the only thing that has given his life meaning in Maker knows how long. obviously abandoning his wife and child is not the "good" thing to do, but it is the understandable thing to do given everything that's happened to him, and he shows his growth by rectifying that mistake and not accepting defeat. that is how you do a fucking damn good character arc, and anyone who disagrees with me can meet me on the Proving Grounds.
