I hold the idea that women and (all genders) are just as capable of harm as cis men are because we are all flawed people, it's just that cis men have historically held more power and so they get away with harm more than women/ other genders. Thinking that women are less capable of harm makes me think that you don't see women as people, you know? It's the benevolent sexism stuff

Imagine being Pious Pavel in that fucking monastery and the guy you tried to poison just....tanks it. He goes eugh my tummy hurts and then nothing else happens because this guy has the stomach acid of a vulture. Rasputin assassin experience. Henry has the constitution of a roach and everyone finds this out the hard way. And then the next day he has the audacity to say "hey man did you poison me?" I would be livid.

I'm not a catholic and have never even seen one up close, but I think the pope should start excommunicating people on the reg again. Just start publicly going "you know what, fuck you, you can't sit with us. You're not allowed in church or heaven on the grounds of being JD Vance. Eat shit and go to hell."

Stir shit up a little. What's the point of being the mouthpiece of god if nothing you say has consequences.

ever since finishing the game I've been pondering my headcanon/au for how erik's post canon situation would look like if he lived on and I finally sat down to sketch out some concepts for it... still got thoughts forming on it but in short he does not get better! also just an excuse to draw him in all black + his red. my favourite edgelord <3

don't look too closely at the historical accuracy of these I was chasing cool factor for now... will be putting my reasearch glasses on now

close ups!

Yes yes Henry and Istvan parallels but consider: Istvan and Hans parallels.

Status and money but always in a position of needing to prove themselves. Lonely but also cannot help but repel everyone (because the only social skills they've got are entirely performative). A beloved village yokel attack dog at their side (first ham-fisted peasant to call them a bitch to their face) and an insane codependent attachment to said yokel who they collect and dust off from the ashes of a village having been recently orphaned. Style kings who have an aura to maintain and will do so no matter what. They cannot shut the fuck up at any given point. Most annoying guy in existence addicted to getting himself into problems and scenarios. Both of them die first and leave their—*canon fire*

tfw ur telling ur platonic bro “how could i refuse you anything” in a platonic brothers in arms way

[pinayelf]

like to me. they 100% designed davrin to be the alistair and cullen of veilguard. he's incredibly gorgeous and hot. hot voice too. has that whole tortured "i should've died" arc. they gave him that little turkey pet. the way he flirts with rook makes my toes curl. he has that fanservice workout scene

if davrin were not black i feel like ppl who couldn't get into veilguard would be into it bc they have another white warrior man to fixate on

Only het romances I can play in dragon age are a guy holding his visibly snarling wife by the scruff of the neck, waiting for the perfect moment to release her upon their enemies so he can smile fondly while watching her maul them

If Vivienne has no defenders I am dead. I love her dearly. That is my ride or die, your honor. Cannot understand the hate for her (I do understand it is in fact racism and misogyny). She's tough and politically ambitious and closed off but also the only companion with a healing ability who dotes on the people she cares about and is petty and spiteful and insecure but also takes on the burden of managing her lover's estate and funeral planning despite his grown ass son being right there. She's one of my favorite Inquisition companions.

I do actually wonder if part of the reason people start believing ancient aliens type conspiracy bullshit is because they're so divorced from labor they don't understand that a bunch of guys could absolutely quarry a large rock, move it somewhere, and build something with it because that's not actually all that hard or complicated. I've seen people use a simple chisel and hammer to crack boulders the size of houses clean in half, this stuff is a skill that needs to be learned ofc, but the idea that it was impossible for humans to build large, complex, sturdy structures with relatively "primative" tools is so silly I struggle to understand how someone could believe that unless they legit have no idea how labor works.

It's the same beef I have with Fallout. I know they excuse humans being so slow to redevelop society with all "knowledge being lost in the war" but that's just...not how things work. Humans figured out construction and farming very early. There's no way for humans to truly forget how to do this stuff, especially since people survived and could preserve and share what they know. But I just cannot fathom how in 300 years no one's figured out construction or fiber arts or soap making or anything humans have historically figured out super early in the process of being human.

And the only way I can see someone write a world like that is if they either didn't care (fine, it's not real and I get digging the apocalypse vibe) or were so divorced from the process of labor and creation that they actually think those things are way too hard for someone to figure out on their own.

If you think humans couldn't do these things without being taught or helped you have a very warped idea of technological progress and human ingenuity. No one taught humans how to build and create, we figured it out on our own, and it was not just smacking rocks together until something clicked either, ancient humans were just as intelligent as modern ones, they could use logic and reasoning to figure out how to do something new based on what they already know.

Idk it's a theory anyway, but I really do think it's interesting how as a kid I def could believe doing these things is impossible for ancient humans to being an adult who knows things and literally cannot even comprehend believing any of the incredible things ancient humans can do were "impossible" in any way. It wasn't. Humans are incredible, stop underestimating us. And crack open some wiki pages or even youtube tutorials so you get a grasp of how the world works, it's good for you.

I dedicate this art piece to me completing this quest till 4 am, waking up at 3 pm and getting triggered by the ringing of bells for the next week(he still continued poaching💀)

i really hate the way the "boobs vs butt" thing got broken down into this implicit idea that butt is the nobler stance. it's really stupid. personally im a woman guy. [realizes how that sounds] [purses my lips in thought] [nods confidently] im a woman guy

once again I am thinking about Sam and what a Big Deal he is in Bohemia.

he's a burgher! he owns a tavern! he's the pillar of his community, the leader of the resistance!

he's such a threat to Sigismund's reign that the king himself knows of him and sends spies and assassins after him! he has bodyguards!

he's so infamous that John of Lichtenstein, the right hand of one of the most powerful people in the kingdom, knew to go to him for protection. and Sam was able to! he protected John from the might of the conqueror king!

he has so much influence and respect that the Jews at Kolin rallied and gave him what little coin they had to fund his revenge! his fight is their fight! he's their trusted hero!
