there’s a horrible sickness in me that makes me want to stop and replay da:i whenever i start a different game. how am i supposed to resist the story of my own unwilling apotheosis? especially as lavellan, who doesn’t believe in the maker and who has every right to hate and mistrust the chantry but chooses to use what power they have to try save people, to fix what’s broken, no matter how afraid they are or how careful they have to be. walking side by side with the great trickster god/adversary of your people without knowing, befriending him, changing his mind about this world but ultimately not his choice. he understands what’s happening to you because it happened to him once and he gives you his castle, built over the place where he sundered the world, and paints your story there in frescos that will last long after you’re gone and after the story has been retold and reshaped so many times that the truth of who you are and what you did is lost—just as he did his own story, which was lost and perverted by war and propaganda, and he shows all of this to you knowing you’ll understand because you’ve lived through something similar, grown into something larger than yourself and your true name, and it doesn’t change anything but. he wanted you to see him just for a moment, even if he can’t tell you everything (or almost anything) and you can’t save him—because he owes it to you as a someone who is a friend, almost an equal, and because there’s no one else left who knows: a direct result of what he did to your people and which he now seeks to undo at the cost of this world.
the tumblr lot never rly gets wips so I’ll THROW THIS YOUR WAY >:]]
psspss this is a good time to pls consider checking out my instagram scribblescribbles if you haven’t already!! I post the wips I share over there FAR more often ;)
i say as he’s literally doing absolutely nothing (*/ω\*) idk he looks rly cute just mindlessly scrolling on his phone, trying to act bored and apathetic towards the conversation happening around him, like he doesn’t care when he clearly does, as proven by his drawled out statement which demonstrates that not only was he listening, but he has a whole opinion on the topic, too.
so like. i still think the writing sucks like half that episode was spent on explaining the cliff hanger from last episode like we do every week. and also once again the characters take a complete sideline to the plot. so i mean i don’t really have much to add critically that i haven’t said already all i’ll say is like i at least had more fun this ep. was it for the right reasons no not really but it made me giggle a lot. very unserious episode. cheng xiaoshi being smart and having a plan reminded me of season 1 and that was the highlight aside from that uhhhhhhgggggg idk my opinions haven’t changed. linking and clicking through the mediocrity of this season ✌🏻
Yooooo I cried so hard watching the final aot animated one😭😭😭😭. Even though I've know the ending its still heart wrenching 😭😭😭
I haven’t seen the ending but I know I’d feel disappointed more than anything so I’m actually jealous that you felt that way. I wish I could but to me eren felt so out of character in ch 139 that I couldn’t take any of it seriously 😭
i justtt missed my flight instructor by a few minutes heading out of town.. silly thing to get upset about but i was looking forward to saying bye. anyway. heading back now :)
