Technoblade: You know, when I first got to college, I had a conversation with a local student where I mentioned I was from California, and they heard that and said, "Oh, you're from California? Have you ever been here during the winter?" and I said "Oh, no no, I haven't" and they just kinda like, stared at me in silence for a few seconds, and then just said: "Good luck!" And then moved on with the conversation like that wasn't the most ominous thing I'd ever heard in my life. What? What do you mean "good luck"?!

Technoblade: One time I went to Texas, sometimes I visited North Carolina during the summer, and I was like, "Why is it so hot here?" but I just figured, "You know what, it can't be this hot everywhere during summer, that'd be ridiculous! Why would anyone subject themselves to these conditions?"

Technoblade: I didn't realize that California was unusual. So you know, I'd listen to like– Sir Alliser Thorne in Game of Thrones rant about, "Oh, you don't know cold!" tellin' us about how, he had like, been in some blizzard– blizzard, and during like, sub-zero temperatures, and I'm sitting here like, "No, no, I- I'm pretty sure I understand what cold is, one time it dropped to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and I had to turn on my car's seat warmers. I'm pretty sure I understand man's epic struggle against nature."

Technoblade: Before I get any comments from people saying, "Uh Technoblade– actually I live in the San Francisco Bay area, and the weather here isn't as perfect as you say! I think you might be blinded by nostalgia–" I'd just like to say that I am a perfectly objective source of information, how DARE you question me, get banned.

No because Dorian becoming Archon of Tevinter should have given us at least SOME inner conflict on his part when it comes to achieving that status since it’s what his father ultimately wanted him to be in the first place when he was younger. Like there’s so many aspects about him reaching that position that should have put into question a lot of things about his personal journey and Veilguard does absolutely NOTHING with it.

I mean, you can choose who’s the ruler of Fereldan in Origins as well as who’s the new Divine in Inquistion and I feel like both of those choices give an appropriate amount of characterization and inner conflict with the people involved. We get a proper look at how whoever is elected truly feels about their position, like an unhardened Alistair feeling very unconfident about being king and is even willing to break up with a non-Cousland Warden for the sake of his country. I guess this is part of a bigger issue with Veilguard in general and how it just seems so uninterested in tackling the bigger picture when it comes to politics within Thedas, and by extension how people truly feel about reaching these positions of power.

Like I’m sorry, but I just needed a lot more from Dorian than just “Oh, I’m going to be Archon? Excellent! I’m a little nervous about it but I’m sure I’ll get the job done!”.

"what are you doing," eddie mumbles in confusion, hair fanned out on steve's pillow, the moonlight streaming in giving him a hazy halo.

there's a hand on the side of his face and it's cupping his cheek, thumb stroking over his skin. it's soft, so soft, too soft. another hand is trapping his against the mattress, fingers trailing over his forearm before tangling into his own and squeezing tight. it's gentle, so gentle, too gentle.

eddie isn't soft, eddie isn't gentle. eddie isn't making love in a full size bed with wallpaper that matches the drapes. he isn't fluttering kisses in time with fluttering heartbeats and the fluttering wings of butterflies trapped in his stomach like the most lovely cage.

eddie is fucking at 2am when there's enough intoxication to make him look like he's worth it. he's rough and wild, quick and easy. a means to a barely wanted end because he's there and willing and with long enough hair to let people imagine he's someone else.

he should be caged instead of the damn butterflies. he bares his teeth and thrashes his limbs just to fight and see what he can get away with. he laughs loud and brash in the face of sweetness just to see anger, just to see hurt.

he has half a mind to think he's a feral animal that's hardly been trained, performing in some fucked up circus that charges two bucks to see him snarl and hurl insults at anyone who passes by. he bites at the hands that try to touch, try to feed, proving to the onlookers that he's only worth the pocket change they pay to see him.

but steve. he's holding his face like he wants to, holding his hand like it's the most important thing in the world. he's pressing kisses along eddie's jaw without any hurry, without any rush, kissing just to kiss. feeling just to feel. he's like a ray of goddamn sunshine even in the darkness that midnight provides, warming eddie from the inside out.

eddie wants to run. he wants to scream. he wants to feel like he's allowed steve's soft and gentle but he's-

"is this not okay?" and now steve's looking at him with all of whatever he's trying to give him lacing into his face, his eyes and spit slick lips sparkling in the moonlight like a shiny new toy. "do you not like it?"

concern and care are different sides of the same steve shaped coin and if eddie looks hard enough, he can see them blurring together in his frustratingly beautiful sparkling eyes and those damn butterflies start to come back.

"no, it's-" he let's out a sigh, relaxing his tight muscles and sinking into the bed, sinking into whatever steve is willing to give him. "just different, is all. good different, i think."

steve smiles and eddie shakily mirrors it back, before he's ducking his head again and slotting their lips together, fingers still holding tight to eddie's, still cupping his face like it's something precious.

eddie's come to terms with the taste of the metal bars of his cage, teeth wearing down as he tries to bite his way to freedom. maybe this time he'll let himself get used to the taste of soft and gentle smiles if it means loving steve.

for people who don’t watch Squiddo, I can’t exasperate enough how much their entire lifesteal season 5 revolves around Ashswag.

in every single episode, Squiddo is either motivated by Ash or the major conflict of the episode is Squiddo doing something that goes against/could harm Ash. by watching solely her videos, you get the impression that Ash is Squiddo’s closest ally and have a generally positive opinion of him

this is contrasted beautifully by Ashswag’s s5 video. where Squiddo isn’t mentioned at all, and Ash isn’t running around protecting spawn and being a good person - he’s a shitty self-centred capitalist.

Squiddo also makes Ash look more impressive than he is. for example, in her nuke video, Squiddo implies that Ash was able to singlehandedly stop the nuke and help her kill Wemmbu. they conveniently leave out that Ash was working with a group, was only able to locate the nuke because Spoke gave him coords, that the nuke actually DID blow up spawn, and the fact that Wemmbu actually escaped from Ash. there are many moments like this but this is the funniest and most egregious one

lifesteal youtube videos are always great in how much of an unreliable narrator the creator gets to be (and god knows I am not the first person in this fandom to point that out). I love this particular example though because it’s remarkable the lengths Squiddo goes to twist the truth in order to make the story Ash-centric. this makes a LOT of sense in retrospect with the dating reveal. Squiddo also said that they didn’t have an in-character explanation to giving Ash a heart on their first day, so tried to play it as their character idolising him from there on out, so some of it is conveying their character’s idolisation of Ash

I just can’t stop thinking about the wider character implications here. just… the idea of cAsh genuinely being cSquiddo’s entire world and her having an incredibly distorted perception of him. the fact that he, though he does care for her, cares nowhere close to the extent she does for him. the fact that cAsh is an awful person, and not nearly as competent as she believes he is, and cSquiddo will never accept these things due to her unwavering loyalty

please. do you guys see my toxic unrequited s5 squidswag vision.

anyways, I present the fucking thumbs up vs heart hands art that Squiddo drew that one time, which perfectly encapsulates this whole thing:

tbh i think i need to put my foot down and point out that the silt verses has an entire fanbase outside of me. if i'm the reason you got into the podcast or you enjoy my fan analysis and art, that's wonderful and makes me very happy, but i'm not the last word (lol) on all things tsv. i don't want to be put on a pedestal as some kind of authority on it. i really don't want to be considered some sort of "big name fan". i have friends in this community and i admire the creators and actors, and the last thing i want is for their efforts to be overlooked simply because i'm more visible by virtue of a higher folllower count or more prolific posting.
