"dai lets you protest being andraste's chosen but everyone just labels you it anyways!!" I do not know how to tell you this but that is, in fact, the point.

can't wait to see choicenators bitching about how the survey had no effect for a year while completely forgetting the results of this are likely set to influence the next round of production.

My thoughts on the "Just Look My Way" music video...

I hate it. It's a Stolitz song that victimizes Stolas and demonizes Blitz for leaving him, again. Oh boo hoo poor UwU Stolas he just wants Blitz to know that he loves him, please feel bad for this poor owl boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺.

Ya no Stolas is an uninteresting POS sorry not sorry. The animation and music are nice though...aside from that ya sorry don't like it lol.

MITCHELL AKUTAGAWA EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!

[magnetic-dogz]

Everybody always talks about physical traits among other genetic stuff that you inherit from your parents but I never see people really mention the weird habits and quirks that you pick up from them. Reblog and put in the tags a niche interest, habit, or funny quirk that you picked up from one of your parents, I'm so curious :0

(and don't feel obligated to reblog if you have really negative relationships with your parents! this post is meant to be for fun, not to bring up any trauma)

I…

So I grew up watching The Simpsons. And maybe I shouldn’t have, but hey, it was the 90s and parent-sanctioned family time to watch a show that was definitely inappropriate for little-little kids.

Anyways.

I knew Phil Hartman, voice of Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz died in 1998, when I was seven. I knew he died and was sad about it. I missed his characters.

MOTHERFUCKER I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD—30-FUCKING-2 TO BE EXACT—WHEN I FOUND OUT, FROM A YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL, THAT HE WAS MURDERED. IN HIS SLEEP. BY AN EX-PARTNER.

WHAT THE FUCK

[perenlop]

well i finished renegade. i sure was renegading all over the place

[vampiratecaptain]

replaying da2 and brought aveline to night terrors for the first time and. WHAT was that reaction.

told my mage hawke to her face (on a friendship path. after she wasn’t even mad about the whole betrayal thing bc she’s still in her people-pleaser attitude at this point) that she was less opposed to the gallows bc she, personally, could not resist a demon and implied she didn’t think of mages as people?

and then when hawke asked if she should be locked up the answer was ‘i don’t know’? i can only imagine after hearing that she went and collected anders & merrill to go on some super important business that she desperately needed their help with a good ways outside of kirkwall and fell off the map for a few days at least because she’s an apostate from a family of apostates and that sort of sentence set off every ‘pack up and run‘ instinct she had.

the internet really fucked up with the sex positivity movement tbh like a great concept to be like hey don’t shame people for having sex and it turned into if you dare acknowledge that something is fucked up or harmful or dangerous, if you express discomfort with anything, then you’re a big dumb prude who should kill yourself

looking up video essays analysing the queer themes of persona 4 has been such an Experience. You will ping pong between white men condescending to u that there’s absolutely no way to read queer subtext (LET ALONE TEXT!) and tiny channels made by queer fans passionately explaining their readings of this game.

[solasfenheral]

Not to bitch about other readings of fictional characters but it really frustrates when folks sand off the sharp edges of Morrigan’s worldview into solely social awkwardness.

Her sharp mocking of Alistair’s sentimentality isn’t just poor social skills, it’s a reflection of how Morrigan was taught to believe showing such open vulnerability makes you weak! To her it’s the equivalent of showing your soft animal belly to a hunter, and just as foolish to feel offended by the consequences of such an action.

She’ll openly call for the annulment of the Circle (with literal children present) to their faces because she’s disgusted by their submission to it, because she’s been taught to only believe in and respect self reliance, and anyone too weak to fight for this might as well lay down and accept their fate.

It’s not all she is of course; Morrigan is multifaceted and complex and deeply traumatised by her upbringing. A lot of her cruelty is an exercise in interacting with the world through the only lens she was taught, and experiencing the joys of trust and love truly does change her. But she can be mean, she can be cruel and I wish people didn’t feel the need to omit this when talking about her.

wait one more bitch. folks who start screaming crying throwing up about cheating in fiction while actively playing books which ADVERTISE this as part of the plot are hilarious to me.

It’s international cat day and you’re a terrible tiefling running a secret underground polymorph ring.

Ficlet by @quinn-of-aebradore

Nicodranas is drizzly and windy and Marius is having a terrible, terrible day.

The person he’s been running odd jobs for disappeared, leaving him in need of employment again. Maybe he’ll ask Orly when he gets back with Fjord’s old food truck. They’re… friends.

Ahead of him, a gust of wind pulls a flyer from the side of a building. On instinct, he reaches out, catches it.

Jester’s Playground, it reads in playful letters. A real playground, for adults.

There’s one contact strip left.

Hm. He trusts Jester. Maybe this is the stress relief he needs now.

Marius pockets it.

I have no idea if "the talk" is as real or mortifying as it is in fiction because like hell were my parents ever going to do something like that. they have never even verbally expressed an emotion in my presence.

[silver-grasp]

Okay so I watched Mad Max: Fury Road on the plane bc I was never going to take the time to track it down on my own but I was curious because you all seem to like it on here. So my new question is... why? Like it wasn’t awful and was probably pretty good by action movie standards (I don’t watch them) but like. It is 90% cars blowing up there is nothing happening, there were definitely good/interesting things about it but they weren’t.. developed.... at all..... like I feel like you could definitely make a great movie out of the concept but as it was it was 90% cars blowing up so there wasn’t really much happening.
