It's really funny to take Spanish with people from different Spanish-speaking countries, because the ones from South American countries are like "Yeah no one uses vosotros, we don't know what it's doing here" and the ones from Europe are like "If you don't give our beloved second-person plural its due respect, the Hounds will find you"

I love how tumblr is full of people who aren’t afraid to hang around on the bottom rung of the moron ladder. You make me feel better about every stupid thing I’ve ever done in my life including the time I glued fake moustaches to my eyebrows.

forget elgar'nan and ghilan'nain. forget the blight. forget elven gods. when THE cassandra allegra portia calogera filomena pentaghast finds out that solas killed varric first instead of her, what happened at adamant will seem like child's play. veilguard, a fever dream. that yappy lil dwarf may have been the absolute bane of her existence but he was HER bane. god rest his soul

A message I received yesterday, published anonymously and with permission:

I just want to say that even though they're a decade old I just found your timeline parts for Andy that include DAYD and Brittany. As someone who was a freshman in college when I got in that chat and then was slowly sliding out when we lost Brittany, your posts meant a lot to me. I'd let myself forget how bad parts of it were. And few people talk about the people he caught up with the fic and chat so kindly. Most of us were extremely young, lonely, or both and he took advantage of us. We were isolated enough that most of us hadn't heard anything bad about him until the shaman stuff. Anyways. It just meant a lot to me ❤️

And an addendum:

I don't think people realize how many of us who weren't in the inner circle didn't know that people were trying to warn the group about Andy and his past.

I didn't know anything until everything went down with CFC and her kids. At that point anyone who left was getting questioned and harassed by Andy/whoever still was on his side or confused enough to listen to him. One person blocked every single one of us as soon as he heard because he didn't have it in him to sift through and tell if there was another Andy lurking among us.

And everyone who was crawling out pretty much fell back in to varying degrees after Brittany was killed.

That Skype chat was a huge source of community for a lot of people. People were willing to listen to his outlandish stories to a certain degree. I'll never forgive him for the fallout of insisting, once again, on making himself an Icarus.

Details of "the shaman stuff"/"everything...with CFC and her kids" from someone who left the DAYDians over the event. For reference, this happened on Dec 28, 2009, and Brittany was killed on May 7, 2011.

The Skype chat mentioned was also known as the Room of Requirement and was maintained literally 24/7, with DAYDians (and often Andy himself) always available to talk to each other. It's where Andy did much of his "channeling" of Harry Potter characters and told many of his wildest stories.

It's rare to hear from anyone from this era of Andy's history, and I greatly appreciate that this person reached out. The DAYDians were a tight-knit, international community of caring, creative, intelligent, young people, and Andy was very demanding of their time, energy, and emotions (and occasionally money). The many ways in which he took advantage of them are really unconscionable, and a few of the most vulnerable are still "friends" of his to this day.

#I wasn't in the Skype but I remember hearing about it

alistair and loghain in the same party! using console commands

To activate the console: http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Console_(Origins)

To make the console commands visible: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/1110/?

At Arl Eamon’s Estate, activate the console and type:

runscript zz_addparty Loghain

Loghain should now be in your party.

Activate the console again and type:

runscript selectparty

The party screen will appear. Alistair and Loghain share the same space in the screen, but can be picked separately.

Loghain's dialogue is bugged to never flag as friendly, regardless of the player's actions. There's two mods that fix this: Sandbox Moments (a mod completely dedicated to Loghain, including an option for female pc to kiss him, link: http://social.bioware.com/project/3666/discussion/2998/ ) and Ejoslin’s Loghain Friendly fix (which is part of the ZDF - Zevran Dialogue Fixes - package, link: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/928/? )

To get his approval up gift him all those maps you've been finding and Maric's shield. Also, save playing Return to Ostagar until after you have Loghain, he has a lot to say there.

Don't take both Alistair and Loghain to talk to Riordan, just take one of them. And before talking to Morrigan about the dark ritual, keep Loghain in your party. He will not be available to perform the Dark Ritual.

Using this hack means only Loghain's gate goodbye will trigger, so you won't see Alistair’s. When you play through the final battle, take Loghain with you to avoid potential bugs.

The epilogue slides will trigger normally, but some of Loghain's will not (specifically the 'recruting for the Wardens' slide)

You can still romance Alistair using this hack, btw.

elfyourmother

thanks for this tutorial, it explains it v. succinctly

for the sake of completion I’ll just add that you can also choose to recruit Loghain at the Landsmeet and bring Alistair back through the addparty command, but it will permanently break any romance with him so only do that if you’re not interested in romancing Alistair.

the benefit to doing it this reverse way is that if you bring them both to RtO, the dummied out dialogue between them will fire (at one point in development it was possible to have them both in your party after the Landsmeet, and that bit of dialogue is a remnant of that).

"i saw your name in the kudos list of the devil's sacrament"

sage-nebula

Okay, but what were YOU doing in the kudos list of the devil's sacrament? 👀

stele3

I'm taking this class that's a prerequisite to a master's program in mental health. Last night, the professor was describing difficulties inherent to group counseling; in particular, confidentiality is tricky because the other group members are not bound by HIPAA and could potentially put information about the group up on "their, y'know, LiveJournal or MySpace or Tumblr."

From the back of the class, I could not restrain myself from saying, "Did you just say LiveJournal? Tumblr? Okay, sure, fangirl, drop your AO3 handle."

She looked at me with absolute terror in her eyes.
