Dear G-d or whoever's up there

If I'm got to be stupid please at least make me feel smart about it, this is emotionally exhausting.

Ah Treviso, great skyline.... What altitude are you at to have what looks like snow so low on the moutains? Aren't you near the coast? Ah, never mind.

Wait...

What is that? Those banners look...

Looks like Treviso is still occupied.

(My silliness is supplied to a bunch of mutuals and people in shared servers yelling about this for hours before I woke up lol)

I looked at Here Lies the Abyss and thought "Okay, but what if I make it worse?"

no one is having a jolly time in the fade, especially the resident (surprise!) abomination -- Inquisitor Lavellan

matrophobia

[girlscience]

i am so goddamn tired of every single fantasy story being about men. i am so goddamn tired of women being side characters and love interests and set dressing and an afterthought. i am so goddamn tired of women who are powerful but feminine. women who are "dressed to kill" and they are wearing eyeliner and a dress and heels. i am so goddamn tired of women always being healers and having water magic. i am so goddamn tired of men going on adventures and dying nobly. i am so goddamn tired of never being able to find a story about women that i can fall in love with. i am so goddamn tired of all fandom being about men.

Honestly I really want to be able to side with Solas in dreadwolf. I think it'd be super interesting to play as an elf in Tevinter and be able to just go "yeah actually I think Fen'Harel is right let's tear down that veil." I mean I assume the main conflict will be Solas trying to convince your character to join him, or your character being told they have to try and stop him, and there are not enough games that let you side with the presented "villain" character. I want to see what the world is like with no veil I'm so interested. Also so interested to see what full-on Fen'Harel Solas is like. Is he still as empathetic? Or is he more conniving and distanced from "mortals" like the old stories would have us believe?

unpopular opinion: I dont think Jay will get a full -on villain arc, and I don’t really want him to either.

[boyybites]

what if i made offbrand tieflings that were just giant hell cows huh, what then?

[brutal-out-here]

I fear it is only me and like 5 other people who loved season 2

[invinciblerodent]

new beef unlocked: people writing posts for/about a "generic" Inquisitor, and not even bothering to mention until like 3-4 paragraphs in that that to them means specifically a Solas-romancing female mage Lavellan.

which i guess is generic, but not the way they think.

[importantdestinydefendor]

So I currently have fallen down the DnD rabbithole (as I am playing my ever first campain) and I have volunteered to draw the characters of my party (and a pic for the dm).

Right now I have started the three illustrations/sketches of our Undead Half-Elf Cleric, High Elf Druid and the one for my middle aged human ranger (he in a midlife crisis lol). I am at the sketch stage where I decide on hair-, skin-, and eyecolour and yall:

I apperantly accedantelly made Jesus... (Except the eyes lol)

Why does he look like this??? How did i do this?? HUH???

Also if you would like to help me decide on colour, have the others... I do like the first one the most but tried to branch out more.

[falling-hand-in-unlovable-hand]

what i really need right now is a plushie

[salsflore]

i miss my dragon wahhhh

[pa-pa-plasma]

i hate how a majority of animal sims aren't even animal simulators, they're shenanigans simulators. they aren't actually about the animal, they're just about wreaking havoc, getting points, getting trophies. you could replace it with any other animal & it'd be the same. i don't want "haha look how funny this scenario is" i want to simulate living as a wolf in Yellowstone National Park. where are all those games

[millietalksra]

Ugh I’m thinking about the House Of The Dragon/ Game Of Thrones AU like hard core (thanks a lot @rangerthursday my life will never be the same)

So here’s my thoughts on it

Houses

Targaryens:

Duncan- King of Westeros

Cassandra- Crown Princess

Morgarath- Old king’s second son, Duncan’s UNCLE in this AU

Lena- My OC, Morgarath’s daughter, raised by Duncan, Princess of Dragonstone (my profile pic is of Lena in her armor, except she’d have the Targaryen purple eyes not blue)

Baratheon:

Arald- Lord of Storm End

Sandra- Lady of Storm End

Arryn:

David- Lord of the Eerie

Jocelyn- Lady of the Eerie, sister of Arald

Lyle- Future lord of the Eerie, Gilan’s older brother

Gilan- Second son, Knight of the Vale

Tully:

Myra- Morgarath’s wife, Lena’s mother (I put her here and not with the Targaryen’s bc it’s important plot wise)

Duncan’s Grandfather, the old king, is dying but there is a question of who will be king after him

Duncan’s father was the old king’s first son, and should have ascended the throne upon the king’s death, but had died some years before

So now the old king must choose a new heir

His options are his grandson from his first born son

Or his second son, Morgarath

The old king assembled a great council of the lords of the realm to help choose

The lords of the realm decide that Duncan is the best option

He would’ve been in line for the throne after his father anyway, but he’s also a far better option for king than Morgarath

Everyone knows that Morgarath can be cruel and only want to rule for absolute power

It’s better to let another Targaryen keep him on a short chain

Furious at the slight, Morgarath flees to Dragonstone with his wife and Daughter where he begins plotting a coup

He begins to turn minor lords to his side so that when the old king dies he can strike against Duncan to take the iron throne

Myra knows what Morgarath is planning and fears for Lena’s safety

Morgarath leaves for another lords holdfast and Myra takes her chance

She flees to Kings Landing with Lena, hoping that the old king and prince Duncan will hear her out and take mercy on Lena

Myra is greeted to news that the old king has died, and preparations are being made for Duncan’s coronation

She finds Duncan in the small council chamber and tells him all of Morgarath’s plans, everything she was able to find out, and begs him to take Lena into his custody

Myra plans to return to Riverrun, she knows it’s where Morgarath would think she would go when he finds out she ran, but she needs to know Lena will be safe and cared for

Duncan of course agrees, but begs Myra to stay in Kings Landing for her own safety

She can’t, she feels she put her own family in danger and needs to be there to protect them however she can

She sends a raven to Riverrun, letting Lord Tulley know she’ll be arriving soon and takes off from Kings Landing with two armed guards at Duncan’s insistence

Duncan tried to take her on dragon back himself, so he’d be there to face Morgarath, but his council advised him to stay in Kings Landing to prepare for an attack there, it’d be the more obvious target

Myra arrives in Riverrun just as Morgarath returns to Dragonstone and finds his wife and daughter missing

Furious, he takes back off on his great albino dragon headed straight for Riverrun

Morgarath commands his dragon to rain fire down on the castle as he descends inside its walls

Servants and guards alike run screaming not wanting to face the flames of a dragon

Chaos erupts but Myra calmly walks out to face her husband

“You and the girl are coming back with me”

“No we’re not”

“I’m not arguing with you over this. LENA! LENA COME OUT HERE WE’RE LEAVING!”

“She’s not here.”

“What did you do?”

“What I had to”

Morgarath sees blood red and runs Myra through with his sword, running the blade clean through her middle and out her back

She sputters blood but doesn’t look away from him as he pulls it out and her limp body drops to the ground

A scream rips over the sound of chaos

Lady Tulley appears from the same door Myra had walked out of running to her daughter’s lifeless body

Morgarath strides back to his dragon, mounting the beast and takes off, heading now for his daughter and Kings Landing

He never makes it

Duncan had ignored the advice of his council and took off towards Riverrun

Myra would know Morgarath better than the Lords of his council

Duncan, astride his great Golden dragon met against Morgarath and his white beast just south West of the Gods Eye

The dragons clashed at each other snapping and clawing blowing flames at each others riders

In the end Duncan’s Golden ripped massive holes in the leathery wings of Morgarath’s beast, forcing it to the ground

Duncan followed, and the men met face to face on the ground

The duel didn’t last long, both men had sustained injuries in their dragons clash, but Morgarath was far more severely injured

His white beast had rolled over him upon crashing to the ground, causing lacerations to his face and head, bones were most likely broken, his fingers were at strange angles

But still he clashed his sword against his nephews, savagely slashing into Duncan’s face, still a menace even in this state

Duncan would have lost his head if he wasn’t so quick on his feet, Morgarath swung straight for his neck and he ducked, losing his balance and rolling away from the enraged man

Morgarath approached Duncan’s now prone body, sword in both hands held high above his head ready to swing down in a killing blow

That was his mistake

Duncan struck his own sword in Morgarath’s Side

Duncan pulled his blade out and Morgarath fell to his side, breaths heavy

Duncan watches him going to lift his sword for the killing blow, but stops

His first act as king will not be to kill his uncle

Duncan mounts his Golden dragon and flies back to Kings Landing, leaving Morgarath to die and rot in the grass

Or does he?

As always I have a lot more thoughts so will probably work on a second part when I have the energy to
