surana agreeing to the dark ritual, survivng and still regretting it and amell proposing the dark ritual to alistair hoping he’d refuse and they would sacrifice themselves but he agrees and they have to live with that decision is a thought i’m having

There's just something very insane to me about this quest that has no markers, that's so easy to miss because the little caves aren't identified and are only found if you're being extremely thorough with your exploring.
All I could hear was Solas condescending to Rook, "Many would have died, I know. But afterward, flowers would grow again." and how Rook is such an inverted mirror to Solas' despair and "burn it down" mentality.
Rook spends all their *own* effort (rather than treating other people as necessary sacrifices for good things to appear once more), risking their own life (because these spots are frequented by darkspawn and spirits) finding flowers to soothe Despair Undying, and bring back Hope.
It's such a bookend to the quest in Dock Town, where you give names to people who brought joy, and art, and knowledge to the world.
I'm always thinking of Lord of the Rings, and often of The Council of Elrond and I hear Tolkien's echoes in this game, over and over.
“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.”
To take the hard road, not the expedient one, to resist becoming the very thing you fight against.
Ugh.
I love this game so much.

I am alive! I haven't posted anything on this account despite being active on it since 2020 when I made it but I'm finally making my first official post. I wanted to get this done before my birthday tomorrow and I'm happy to say I did! I finally made my first piece of transformers fanart after having redesigning my gal Shadowspark in February. It only made sense my first proper art of her be a piece of fanart for the person who inspired me to redo her. 9 hours later and the project is complete! Starflare's beautiful design (Character on the right) belongs to @wishingstarinajar so I suggest going to give her a follow since she has so many cool Transformers designs 😭 (honestly I've fallen in love with this twink so i'll probably do more fanart of him haha) Also realized while drawing him that the bottom part of his legs look like cowboy boots and realized how fitting the nickname Star Ranger is xD

Tumblr makes the quality so ass but Wishingstarinajar will be hopefully getting the better quality once it's sent on ToyHouse.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

Inquisitor: We've been over this before. The Hinterlands bear is the most deadly animal of all time. Rook, having fought 2 dragons at once: No, it's not. Inquisitor: Yes, it is. Rook: No, it's not.

What If Illario Had Romance Banter Between Him, Lucanis and Rook?
💗Illario: Rook. You wound me.
🙂Rook: (looks around) What did I do now?
💗Illario: Choosing my cousin. I thought what we had was special?
🙂Rook: Is that what you say to your hand every morning?
🐦⬛Lucanis: (spits coffee back into cup)
💗Illario: (ignores Lucanis) We could have been beautiful together.
🙂Rook: Bold assumption.
🐦⬛Lucanis: Who told you?
💗Illario: Please, Lucanis, that first meeting here. Waxing lyrical about the coffee. It was obvious.
🐦⬛Lucanis: (looks at Rook) It worked though.
🙂Rook: (smiles sweetly at Lucanis)
🐦⬛Lucanis: (stares dreamily back at Rook)
💗Illario: (stares at both of them) This is disconcerting….

Anyone else feeling strongly about the TikTok ban?
-Quick edit for all the people mad about what’s radicalizing who: be glad that the people are pissed off by this. I’m almost 30 years old and I’ve been in this game a long fucking time. Now I’m not gunna sit here and defend MYSELF but rather the thousands of people of various ages who reblogged this because they’re genuinely feeling something. Let people be fucking mad. How tf you gunna gatekeep radicalism? Get off your high horse-
I’ve been on edge and just angry all day. Scrolling through the app seeing all my favorite creators say goodbye and watching them cry at the thought of their small businesses failing. It’s been heartbreaking to see.
Unanimous. The Supreme Court voted unanimously to ban this app. Before gun control. Before healthcare reform. Before anything. The whole government is more worried about a fucking app.
It was never about security. It’s because they don’t want us communicating. They want to control the narrative. If you keep the ants separated it takes a lot longer for things to happen amongst them. All I’ll say is this.. let this radicalize you, we need your rage.

Don't forget, Trump was the one who tried to ban TikTok in his first term, and Republicans voted to pass the TikTok Ban Bill.
He didn't save it. He just flipflopped when he realised it made him look bad with young people.
And now TikTok are sucking up to Trump and effectively acting as an ad section for him.
Don't fall for it.
