Do you think about The Iron Bull's reaction when finding out about Solas being Fen'Harel? Because I do. A lot. He was unto something. All the "you are not flashy like the other mages" talk. Solas notices the same details that Bull does about the baker. Solas at court. Bull knew there was SOMETHING about Solas, but he never had quite the grasp on what that could be. And then he finds out what Solas has been hiding. Under his big fat ben hasserath nose. Under Leliana's web of spies. Under the whole Inquisition. AND YET Solas was his friend. Granted, he argued about the Qun way too much, but he also played chess with him when he thought his mind will go savage. He kept his mind, and sanity, in check by playing fucking chess with him. And he supported his choice to leave the Qun, to be free. So when he finds out do you think he is angry? At Solas? At himself? Do you think he blames himself for not seeing it? Do you think he wants to punch Solas? Do you think he Fears Solas? Is that still his companion, his friend even?

Does Ludo crossdress? I imagine she'd be, on most occasions, be seen walking about with Vasco's clothes, near indistinguishable from men.
In my mind she's projecting major sword lesbian vibes so I wouldn't put it entirely past her.

I think I've identified the reason I get so worked up about anarchism in relation to labor rights and safety in particular.
Three years ago I watched my coworker almost die when a piece of machinery we were moving unsafely fell on him. It missed his head by an inch and snapped his leg in half instead. It took months of recovery and multiple surgeries for him to walk again and he will be disabled for the rest of his life. And it didn't happen because of Capitalism or profit motive or because our evil bosses were forcing us to work unsafely. It happened because he'd done similar things a hundred times before and it had always been fine, and because I didn't know enough to clock just how dangerous what we were doing was, and just because of some plain shitty luck. Mentally it fucked me up for months in ways I didn't recognize until well after the fact.
And the thing is, almost every construction worker can tell you about the time they saw a fatal or near-fatal accident. An apprentice younger than me had a heart attack and was out of work for over a year after shocking himself on a live circuit. The woman who runs our apprenticeship program has a husband who had his arm blown off in an arc flash incident. One of my teachers had a coworker die after getting hung up on a live circuit and he wasn't found until the end of the day.
Construction is one of the single most dangerous industries to work in, and I believe this is why rates of drug and alcohol abuse and suicide are sky-high in the industry. I think many construction workers are low-key traumatized by knowing constantly that they could die or be permanently disabled due to a very simple mistake or oversight. It is simply inherently unsafe when you are working with live electricity, power tools, heights, thousands of pounds of machinery, cranes, etc. And so yes, I do believe that safety protocols and the ability to enforce them are absolutely necessary to preventing a massive amount of death. The number of worker deaths in the US has been slashed by 60% since OSHA was instated.
And so to get online and have someone who has never set foot on a jobsite in their life condescendingly explain to me that actually, we don't need OSHA or the ability to enforce safety standards because in a perfect world everyone will just suddenly start working perfectly safely, and I'm just too stupid or brainwashed to realize that The Real Villain Is Capitalism, and if we just get rid of that it will somehow also get rid of the inherent safety issues involved in the entire construction industry - well it turns out it pisses me off a little bit!

like do you know how much the ‘oooh snap it’s marluxia he’s evil!’ ‘wait no that’s his sister!’ ‘who’s the traitor??? who’s the impostor??? murder mystery!!!’ ‘ven is vanitas!’ ‘wait no!’ ‘the player is xehanort!’ works do for khux? even years after the fact, knowing the truth, looking back through fandom history to see what people used to think at each point in time is SO fun. i kept those kinds of things in my mind the whole time while watching even despite knowing better

underneath all that denial and being flippant about it steph is Definitely a hopeless romantic and no one can tell me otherwise. this girl can and will spend all day talking about how she definitely does not want to kiss some dweeb in suspenders & then will start giggling twirling her hair and kicking her feet because he bought her a coffee or held a door open for her or some shit. she talks like her heart is made of steel but it’s made of fucking porridge
