Dude, I forgot the Snoke even existed

Being sick means I can spend 6 hours decorating camp and drawing Durge staring at her Gortash shrine

Why use AI to make images when you can do it yourself?

Well now that I had this idea I can’t un-have it. Eli and Thrawn in Prince Mononoke.

Durge recent updates:

Halsin has a bed full of stuffed animals

Durge made a shrine to her ex Gortash, he’s buried in the crate

We did some shopping in town

And ended the night with a comedy performance

I think one of the things I liked so much about the thranto pairing was how we all discussed power imbalances in a romantic relationship. Through fan discussions and creations, we looked at what respectful power imbalances were and what messy power imbalances were.

Writing thranto fic helped me realize I was in an abusive relationship years ago, and I’m so happy to have gotten out of it. Not everyone in that kind of situation survives to see the other side.

I don’t know when/if I’ll be able to work on my stories again (my ex found my ao3 account and would mock my stories in a very demeaning way) but I’ve at least returned to reading for again and it’s kinda nice to read about these two smart/idiot dudes in love. 🤎💙🤎💙

Uh oh. Playing another run of Inquisition starring Eli Vanto. It’s been a while but might be returning to the fandom.

My thoughts on Dragon Age Veilguard: 6/10

It’s a fun game. If you know nothing about dragon age, you’ll love it. If you’ve been a fan since Origins and know all the lore your opinions may be… mixed. I know my feelings on the game are mixed.

DATV obviously went through development hell and the people who worked so hard on the project for years should be applauded for their efforts. But oh my goodness, the writing is bad in some parts.

I’m so grateful to be back in Thedas. The levels are so beautiful and full of detail. Docktown and Treviso remind me of how my Hawke in DA2 ruled Kirkwall and it was so much fun to have large urban environments to explore. I could imagine Hawke and the Kirkwall crew running around Docktown and raising all kinds of glorious hell. It was hard to really care much about what my Rook was doing, but it was nice to see the cities, those levels made me feel so nostalgic for past games.

The battle at Weisshaupt was legitimately cool and a great mission. All the content with the wardens was great. I was a fan of the Last Flight and it was neat to see the return of Isseya as the Gloom Howler.

It was neat to see Heir now working with the Crows, and to get little tie-ins with other NPCs from past games. RIP Keeper Hawen.

Isabella, Morrigan, and Dorian felt out of character.

The NPC claiming to be my Inquisitor felt like a mannequin with no clothes on. I tried my best to look beyond this but it was disappointing.

I was legitimately disappointed that the only imported choices were about romancing Solas.

I was gutted when I learned all of southern Thedas had fallen to the blight. Having spent 2000 hours playing the first three games, it felt like a heartless destruction of so many memories.

I really enjoyed the art style and level design. It would have been nice if the fast travel beacons had labels though.

Most of the companions were interesting enough, and the annoying ones were not any worse than Oghren.

Depending on your choices, 4 of the companions will pair up into two couples. One of the couples has great chemistry while the other couple is pretty cringey and has a romance that feels like it fits in a made-for-tv teen movie. Both of these couples have more romance content than Rook gets with their partner.

The combat is fun. I really enjoyed playing a spellblade mage and using the orb and dagger!

The companions personal quests are almost all entirely about stopping rituals. So it feels weird that all these urgent, really bad rituals are happening all at once but somehow Rook can arrive just in time for them all.

It was great exploring the necropolis and learning some about Nevarra!

Rivain was beautiful but I didn’t care for the Lords of Fortune at all.

Solas turning into a giant wolf and having a kaiju battle was neat, tricking him and locking him in the fade at the end felt satisfying.

It was hard to believe Rook cared for Varric. We are told Rook and Varric spent time together just as we are told about Rook’s background. Being told these things without seeing and experiencing them makes Rook feel hollow. This game would have greatly benefited from an Origins-style intro section where the player can get to know their Rook and understand why it all matters.

I had a lot of fun when I played this game while stoned. I skipped through cutscenes fairly often, which is something I’ve never done in a dragon age game before. Unfortunately the whedon-style writing and humor is just so played out and boring now that I lost interest in it.

Wish there had been more dwarven lore and we could revisit Kal Sharok after the one mission we get to go there.

Overall, the game was really polished and had no bugs.

It was fine but i dont see much replay value to it, personally l.

I uninstalled it after completing it and will go back to replaying BG3.
