Use "said" for dialogue unless you are writing a man talking, in which case use "whimpered"

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

[gheycowboyespressokell]

If we don’t buy it, they’ll lower the price, just like the 3DS. They make more money from 2 million people buying it at $60 than 1 million at $80

Thinking today about Lavellan as the lone voice in support of reasoning with Solas and how that must feel. Even her own team, who had known Solas themselves, strongly disapproved almost to a man--with the exception of Cole--of the idea that his mind could be changed or that he could be "redeemed." As the climax of DATV approaches, she stands amid an army of people with no direct connection or loyalty to her or Solas discussing how they can kill or physically force or otherwise trick Solas into binding himself to the Veil, theoretically trapped forever into sustaining it with his life force. She alone suggests he can still be reasoned with, and this is met with slight derision from Morrigan ("Speaking from the heart, inquisitor?") and wariness or outright opposition from Rook, the leader of this army.

Rook knows about their relationship--and it is palpable that at least some of the people in this room think Lavellan is being overly swayed by her feelings for Solas and her desire to avoid doing him harm. She is walking on a tightrope here of trying to nudge Rook towards the idea that Solas can be talked down without violence without making Rook think she's wholly enthralled to her love for Solas and not seeing the situation clearly.

How scary it must be, to stand in a room full of people who have, she knows, very good reason to want to or feel they have no choice but to kill or imprison someone she desperately wants to save. I wonder if it makes her feel at all like those first days after the Conclave, when she was the one everyone wanted to kill, and no one was on her side.

It makes me think back to what she tells Solas in one of their earlier flirts, that she would protect him "however she had to" and it does make me wonder what she would have done if Rook refused to even try to reason with Solas. It has to be something she's thinking about herself, as she stands in what is effectively Rook's territory (her authority as inquisitor, whether or not the inquisition still exists, is really limited to southern Thedas, whereas Rook may be from Minrathous itself), surrounded by Rook's army, knowing her pleas for mercy and reconciliation may be the only shield Solas has.
