The way that veilguard handles solas is annoying me right now
#veilguard critical#replaying the start#like I get it I’m probably overly sympathetic to him#but what makes him compelling is that he’s both a fucking asshole and also deeply compassionate#but his whole ‘people are always dying�� line reads as so callous now#as if he’s not the same dude who snuck off in inquisition to help refugees#solas sucks. he does. he is clearly ignoring the lives his actions will cost.#but he gives a shit about that fact#it’s not enough to stop him#but he’s not the dude who says those alive right now can fuck themselves#does he see modern thedosians as his people? no. doesn’t mean he doesn’t value those lives#the entirety of trespasser makes no sense if that’s the case#I wish this game that has so much that I do love#hadn’t chosen to flatten solas’s motivations to being soley about mythal#and give us character after character that willfully misunderstands him#Harding is the closest thing we get to a sympathetic voice#and she - understandably - comes to hate him herself#his memories aren’t enough#where are the ancient elves speaking about how he saved them#where are the modern elves he freed talking about how he got them out of tevinter#where is cole#why doesn’t the caretaker tell us more about him#why is it that this game#both understands that solas isn’t evil but can’t stand to admit that fact#and why can’t his motivations be well-meant but flawed#rather than solely a response to mythal#like I don’t hate the mythal thing#I think it works#I just wish it wasn’t /just/ her

“sotr is mid because you already know how it ends” shut the fuck up, the point of the book is that despite knowing how it ends you would have never known what actually went down because that’s the point of propaganda, the whole book is about the power of propaganda

Just a reminder that we don’t know all the good things Katniss does/did for her community, because Katniss wouldn’t tell us unless it was relevant to what was going on.
In Catching fire, she doesn’t tell us that she’s being going around and bringing food to poor children in the seam until she needs to explain why she had a bag of food and why her mother wouldn’t find that odd.
Tumblr media
In the first book, when she’s telling Peeta about the story of how she got Prims goat, she refuses to admit that this wasn’t a selfish move so she could get money out of that goat. (You could also argue that this is her refusing to be vulnerable in front of Peeta and all of Pamen though. I think it’s both, because she doesn’t even admit that she did this purely for her sister in her internal dialogue.)
Tumblr media
And in Mockingjay, she never tells us that she’s the one that got Haymitch the goose eggs to help him heal after the games. All she says in the epilogue is that Haymitch raises geese when the liquor runs out. And we would never know otherwise if Haymitch didn’t mention that SHE was the one who got him the geese in sotr.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

i see a lot of neurodivergent people talk about how they can't handle bright white overhead lighting at home, so their preference is to have warm/yellow bulbs in lamps as the main source of household lighting, often with colouful neon lights/fairylights/candles as other secondary lighting sources. I feel like this is actually more common than we think but maybe there are some insane people who love or at least are indifferent to bright white overhead lighting. so poll time.
if you say bright white overhead lighting is your main lighting preference please tell me why

Sometimes love is finally getting the courage to give flowers to the girl you like, because you found them growing in the meadows and they reminded you of her, wild and beautiful and free
Tumblr media
Sometimes love is choosing to smell oniony for the day rather than telling the boy you like that you recognise the flowers he's picked for you

origins: elven men are shorter and have narrower builds than human men - they are a graceful and agile but not very physically powerful race
da2: fenris has a stronger taller build than most elven men which is part of the reason why he would have been singled out by his master to become a bodyguard, he is still narrower than human men and only as tall as marian hawke though
inquisition: solas is still kinda narrow but he is six feet tall. this is foreshadowing the fact that he is a remnant of an ancient, powerful race of immortals that modern elves with their mayfly lives and slight bodies are a mere shadow of
veilguard: davrin is built like a brick shithouse because *checks the lore* fuck you he’s hot
