Frankly I think Alistair being mildly shitty to that mage in Ostagar seems pretty in-character for the guy he is before the massive, life-altering trauma that is the Ostagar massacre wherein he sees all of his Grey Warden comrades, his beloved mentor/father figure, and his beloathed half-brother/convenient-target-of-projection absolutely torn to shreds by literal Thedas boogeymen. IIRC Morrigan and Flemeth both comment on his wack behavior after Ostagar and then by the time we get to Lothering Alistair just fully surrenders any and all responsibility (and, frankly, agency) to the player's Warden for the foreseeable future. It can then take anywhere from a couple IRL hours to the entire second act of the game for him to retake almost any amount of it back. And depending on the player's choices in dialogue, and especially whether or not they choose to romance him, we may only see flashes of that guy we met at Ostagar before he potentially morphs into almost someone else entirely (hardened!King!Alistair). All that to say, I don't actually think it's a useful criticism of "characterization" to bring up Alistair's glibness as compared to his behavior in the majority of the game because from where I'm standing (looking directly at his snottiness about Cailan, his complaints about being assigned to the Tower of Ishal, his Templar-esque focusing on Morrigan and Flemeth being apostates, his generally pretty brusque manner with the Warden recruits) it seems fairly in-line with the rest of his behavior at Ostagar.
#like seriously he's a bit of a dick (more than what becomes usual) while at ostagar#before his world is shattered and his brain (and personality) is completely rearranged by seeing everyone important to him slaughtered#he clings so hard to the warden as a lifeline that he kind of goes full-on fawning mode for a little bit there#just giving up the reins completely and following orders as (imo) a method of coping with massive loss and trauma#throughout the course of the game he recovers somewhat and goes back to being kind of a dick#and/or growing up pretty extensively and becoming a much better and more tolerant person as a whole#but the idea of him being a dick to a mage because he's being moved around like a chess piece rather than a person#by someone who should NOT have the authority to do that and that fuckin ANNOYS him and then this dude's getting all up in his face about it#as if this was HIS decision and then being accused of harassing this random ass dude he could not give less of a fuck about for funsies#and thus him going full obnoxious shithead teenager about it is somehow OUT of character?? for ALISTAIR??? wack#like nah bro i know we all love ali but our vision is being obscured by that love and also how sweet he is in a romance#just being besties with him unlocks an incredible amount of unfiltered BITCHINESS that is fully in-line with ostagar!alistair's shenanigans#dragon age: origins#alistair theirin#by apples#da meta#anyway there's been disk horse on my dash for the last couple days and this is my take on it

The difference between how siblings that are closer in age interact vs. siblings that are further apart in age is incredible to witness
#my half-brother and half-sister (both 30+ years older than me): call me sweetie and sweetheart#we aren’t super close and we don’t banter as much. odd dynamic but we’re figuring it out. might just be unique to us#me with my (full) brother: banter 24/7. we talk about everything all the time. we tolerate one another’s nonsense#some roasting and moments where we get on each other’s nerves but it’s fine it’s cool#(he’s 7 years older than me)#compared to how my nieces (1 to 2 years apart in age) interact#youngest: *didn’t hear something* oldest: *rolling her eyes* are you deaf?#oldest: *dramatically glares at her sister to get her to stop riling up their little brother after dinner*#youngest: *backs off* oldest: *coming back to the table* that’s what I thought 😤😤#and then the way they both treat their brother (10-ish years younger than them) is so sweet and tender and I just 💀💀💀#like sometimes he annoys them and the oldest today said “’I’ll only help him if he puts everything back’#but the DIFFERENCES#this is not to say people that are close in age aren’t close. my mom and her brother are close#whereas she’s not close with my aunt (derogatory) who is 5 years younger#she was close with her youngest brother and he was 10 years younger#so yeah the dynamic depends on the people but yeah#my brother and I still have days we’d probably sell one another for a cornchip but we’re pretty much besties these days#my nieces are on the verge of murder 90% of the time#personal#probably delete later

vent ig
no one in my family will hug me anymore. i dont think i said or did anything, and i take showers consistently every other day, so i know i dont smell bad.
but none of my friends are very tactile, and ive been too busy to see my boss
so i havent had a hug in two months, maybe more (not that ive been counting.)
and i think i'm going insane.
i havent had more than a hand on a shoulder, at most holding someone's hand for theater, and i'm going crazy because i need to be hugged i need to be held i need to be loved but i guess that isn't in the cards right now.
that's ok. i can wait a little longer, i guess.

I will happily consume art of pretty much any death note ship. What determines whether or not I like the ship in particular is if I'll actually sit down and read about it. For example I reblog tons of lawtsuda art because it's adorable. But you'd have to really sell me on the premise to get me to seek out and focus on a lawtsuda fic

hey why you're into/not into dd?
THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME
preface: those are my unordered impressions as a ~2017-2022 dd1 player
soooo my darkest dungeon TWO thoughts are:
FIRST OFF WHY NO NATIVE LINUX SUPPORT??? i personally know unity can compile for linux, though im not sure how its quality is for more elaborate games, i WISH theyd upload a native linux build like dd1. im complaining cause the game does not SKIP frames but slows down to 10 fps for me, which makes it super slow and basically unplayable, unless i close everything else and frankly lobotomize most of my laptop functions. this compared to dd1 (which I KNOW was a different engine and 2d, but still) is a massive performance downgrade
secondly the gameplay loop is just... unenjoyable to me? gone is the safety of retreat to my home base (hamlet) and the choice of whether press on or return. the paths have too little variety to me, with exactly one possible event between them. tacking onto that, i feel the one combat item per character is just too restrictive, especially considering how much debuffs get applied to my heroes during even the first act
hero death: means basically nothing? like skills stay unlocked due to the backstories (which i ADORE BTW! thats a really fun thing to add!!!) so when you get lucky the first act your second act is a breeze. ad to that the fact that you have to unlock EVERYTHING, making the first runs awfully frustrating and the latter frustratingly easy, it feels unrewarding all in all
and its the little things too, like every enemy applying block and me just spamming aoes without a thought to whittle it down, less useful healing skills, the relationship system that actually made me excited for the game having either no influence on my gameplay or screwing me through rng...
oh yeah, the fucking tooltips on skills being just symbols though there's space to write the word out, now that i think about it the ui is just cumbersome, holding alt or ctrl for every little thing isnt very accessible :(
i know red hook wanted to make this experience distinct from dd1 while retaining the same feel an universe, but i genuinely prefer dd1 to it, because of the little quality of life things I GUESS the animations are SO BANGER tho i LOVE how they translated the 2d into the 3d!

so. almost done with the heel turn of the second sock (meaning just another hour at most of knitting left) and just realized that i knit the second sock with one stitch more per needle than i did the first. last pair of socks was 14 stitches per needle, this pair was supposed to be 13. the gauge is 7 stitches per inch (3 stitches per cm) so this is an extra half inch larger in circumference.
:/
#was wondering why the heel turn numbers seemed a little off#but i was only working on this at work and its a lot more acceptable to be knitting than to be on my phone#so i never ended up checking my notes bc i kept forgetting to during breaks#also was not confident that i had actually taken any notes to begin with#or where i had put them if indeed they existed at all#im just gonna keep knitting it. id rather risk the last hour of knitting ending up with a still wearable pair of socks#because 8 more hours of work is just as annoying as 9 more hours of work#im also wondering if i can do some sewing to bunch up the top a little or maybe a crocheted cable#if that ends up drawing the sock in. will probably experiment#im not actually worried it wont fit me (i knit socks for myself with a lot of negative ease)#but im extremely sensitive to pressure on my feet and the lack of it from socks is very uncomfortable#so if one sock is looser than the other i will start to lose it#(like in the Fork Theory ? uneven socks is a hundred forks. my tolerance for anything else unpleasant becomes zero#so ! it might not be perceptible (these both have ribbing and that may distract from the size significantly#we will see.#always something these days.#i will admit most of those somethings are caused by my brains inability to hold a stable memory#everything is all blended together and i cannot remember when anything happened or the context of it#i wonder somewhat if its gabapentin symptoms. i was doing fine for a while but ive been taking more than the usual dose#to try and combat symptoms but like good god i feel like my brain has been stuffed full of wool#not even in a fun way#eesh. anyway i will continue to knit this sock i suppose#knitting#sock knitting#woes
