i have a headcanon that the dalish have a fun holiday called fen'vallan - wolf's dusk. the idea of this holiday is "we haven't been fucked over by the dread wolf yet! yay! also beware of him"
i like to imagine the inner circle visiting clan lavellan regarding some Important Mission and they get invited to fen'vallan
solas is nervous. really nervous. lavellan assumes he's anxious about making a good first impression on her family (with him being her lover and all)
he has to sit there while the keeper talks shit about him and warns everyone about an individual that vaguely resembles him. and he can't be that mad about it all, especially when they say stuff like "the dread wolf is deceitful and sneaky" while he's right there. being deceitful and sneaky
I just saw a post that made me realize that I'm officially a fandom old on TS2 Simblr and I don't know how to feel except grateful that I've gotten to be a part of this community for so long and also frustrated that so much of our collective history has been lost to the impermanence of the internet.
5 years ago when I gave my first haircut and launched myself into a new career path, little did I know how much my life would change over the next five years. I've lost some friends, gained new ones, traveled the country and the world, and I owe so much to barbering. I'm happier than I've ever been and love my life. I will be forever grateful to everyone that helped me down this path and have supported me.
you know considering batman is my special interest and has been since I was about five it's ironic I've only just started talking about it with any kind of frequency on tumblr
I was going down the old yt rabit hole, just watching 9 almost 10 year old videos nbd, and I came across the age old argument/explination/confusion/huh/what/¯\_(ツ)_/¯ of Mangle of Five Nights at Freddy's FUCK'N TWO's gender. Along the lines of; his pronouns are Loudly he/him in-game, but the fandom would not shut up about, but it's a girl, look at her, girl foxy. Period done shut up about it-BUT THEY'RE CALLED HE/HIM!!! Fuck it, they go by they/them now, fuck you, fuck me, fuck Mangle and it's gender. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is ALL those fandom fights ending in fire and tears and bloodshed came back full force and I went
"FUCK IT, BIGENDER MANGLE!" As like a knee-jerk reaction because GOD it's been a fight in the trenches for literally almost a decade. AND THEN I went "oh fuck, bigender Mangle. It all makes sense now." And then holy choir rang out and god in her holy he/her glory bestowed upon me some mediocre cheesecake of which I ate all of it in one sitting...Where was I? Ah yea, amazing how fast that war could have ended if being bigender was more widely known back then, but hey, we can finally put down the pitchforks now right?
...Right?
"There are still only 2 genders, no one can be both at once!"
Damn directly to Heck shows whose seasons end on a cliffhanger. I understand that "leaving people wanting more" "generates hype" or whatever, and it's basically the only way to get additional seasons funded. But if right at the peak of interest a plotline disappears for a year or two, 9 times out of 10 it is sliding off my brain like a fried egg. I am not strong enough to juggle all the subplots of an ensemble cast for multiple series at a time over a long time span.
