i already ran a poll on everybody's favorite origin a while back, but it got me curious:

i promise i'm not gonna do this for every rank, but so many people listed their close seconds, i have to wonder how different the results will look

Portraits of some lady dwarves!

[patissonthepumpkin]

Head empty, thinking about:

- F!Aeducan, who despises her military role and just wants to be a proper lady, but constantly gets dragged into fighting. And then she meets Leliana who completely reshape her perseption of the warrior/lady conflict;

- F!Aeducan, who is too afraid to become a mother and get to attached to the baby, knowing she was raised as a warrior and most likely gonna die in battle and leave her child in a dwarven political meat grinder

- Aeducan, who is too careless and irresponsible (rightfully noted by Trian), and treats war and intrigue as a game, up until the moment he's thrown face first into real fights and real danger and real responsibility after the exile, and slowly toughens up and takes more serious approach to life

- M!Aeducan, who had child with Morrigan and Mardy, and is torn between different responsibilities he has to take, and have to choose one life over the other

- And all the different feelings about brothers, and their father, and their house, and their country middle Aeducan can have

Just... If you didn't get it - I LOVE the potential of noble origin

When Tax Collector was a profession in Dwarf Fortress

Today, if you dig secure lodgings your dwarves will live in an anarcho-communist society. Sure, you have nominal nobles such as Mayors, Barons and Monarchs, but all the dwarves have access to Fortress resources. However...

Long ago in the yesterday of 2007, nearly a year ago the first Alpha release of Dwarf Fortress has been uploaded to the Bay12 games website. No z-levels, no Artifacts and cats could adopt visitors to your fortress. And when you had appointed a bookkeeper and manager, the dynamic of dwarves would suddenly change...

Your fortress would suddenly go from to anarcho-communist to Capitalist. Dwarves would suddenly gain an account balance on their unit screen and hoard coins in their bedrooms, a new price menu would appear and shop would be available to build. In addition,

Dwarves would be paid salaries for producing goods (receiving a starting sum of ☼200 when the economy was activated.)

Dwarves would pay rent for rooms with higher quality rooms costing more.

The bookkeeper would demand the production of coins.

Nobles would change prices

Legendary noble dwarves didn't need to pay rent

Dwarves would be taxed from their belongings randomly

This neat little arrangement simulated a miniature economy. Dwarves who owned quality goods and better bedrooms would be happier, while dwarves who failed to do so...

she has been evicted lately (mood -10)

Further, developments led to the economy being unlocked on the arrival of a Baron, Count or Duke.

Dwarves paid for rent and food. Dwarves strapped for cash bought poor-quality food and would go into debt to not starve.

Coin moving would take precious work time from dwarves as they carried out transactions and collected their salaries

More features only increased the chaos. It was found that producing coins would actually make the citizens finances worse as the time wasted performing transactions, led to increased debt and inevitably mass homelessness. And when I say nobles changed prices, if you thought mandates were annoying then:

Dwarf Fortress's ever-ingenious players thus found themselves devising exploits strategies for preventing a tantrum spiral revolution kicking off whenever the aristocratic parasites barons arrived. These included intensive pumping regimes to quickly boost dwarves' skills to legendary and stockpile hauling cycles to provide easy and consistent employment.

The economy was disabled in 2010, but Toady One (Tarn Adams) has stated that he plans to reintroduce the economy in the future. Due to the unpopularity of its original implementation, it will not be without drastic changes. To this day players discuss possible models. I hope to see the dwarven economy again; imagine a tax collector doing the rounds every week. It would be nice if the value system was ironed out though.

So it seems that Arthur’s accent has been one of the most confusing parts of this fandom for me at least-

I’ve seen people say it’s Scottish, I think I might’ve found someone calling it Irish, and I don’t remember if it was you or someone else who said this but someone said that it’s actually from Yorkshire?? 😭

Anyways what do you think it is ☕️🗿

Going back and listening again I'm still fairly sure that it's a Northern/Yorkshire accent. You don't tend to get many regional English accents in international films/tv which is both a massive shame and probably where the confusion comes from. Merlin's accent is generally what people think of even when someone says "British accent". His is actually pretty limited to the well-off parts of Southern England. It's just that most British actors either have that accent already or put it on when doing a role.

Since Arthur and Merlin are both English folklore figures, it would make sense that they'd give them both English accents; since a couple of the others sound like they come from their fairytales' countries of origin (Pinocchio- Italian; Hansel and Gretel- German).
