Normandy's Ascent
Foul beast ate that adventurer whole, RIP
So Davrin hasn’t been back to his clan since he left, and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Because Davrin clearly cares a lot about being elven. He’s the first to point out how the actions of Solas and the Evanuris will negatively impact elves. He talks about how important the halla are, and the Way of Three Trees is core to his approach to life. It’s heavily implied that HE named Assan.
And yet he’s never gone back home. He didn’t fit in with clan life, and he’s obsessed with finding a purpose. I wonder if he feels guilty, like he needs to have an ultimate justification for why he left to “redeem” the choice. Because otherwise he’s betraying his people, his culture, to become part of the world at large— the world that harms elves and persecutes them. Is he afraid he’ll be scolded? That he won’t fit in anymore? That he won’t be seen as “really elven”?
This is why the scenes with Eldrin are so important. When Eldrin says “I’m glad you took the road less traveled” essentially, he’s giving Davrin permission to not feel guilty for his choices. He’s telling Davrin that he doesn’t have to Be A Specific Way to still be Dalish. He’s allowed to be himself and ALSO a Dalish elf— which goes hand in hand with the conflict between being a hunter and being a caretaker.
Technically Davrin’s arc starts when you meet him, but his character progress starts when he survives Weisshaupt. He’s been forced to face the fact that the world isn’t what he thought it was, which means he doesn’t have to hold himself to these strict rigid standards between categories. And that’s what Assan teaches him over the course of the game as well. He’s allowed to be many things, and he can accept all parts of himself without fear or shame.

Does it count as 'sword in the stone' if it looks more like 'sword in the cairn'...?

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

What is this witch doing at dusk?
Project Hail Mary has awakened something in the knitting community unseen since the Chris Evan fisherman cable sweater in Knives Out.
People are knitting every piece of knitwear that appears in that movie. Obviously the fox cardigan but also the zip sweater, the socks, the hat, which is just a normal beanie but by god we want to make it. They're knitting Rocky stuffies for god's sake.
Miniscule 2019 A-Frame for sale in Randolph Center, VT. They say it has 1bd (mmm...maybe) & 0ba. (I thought that there'd be a toilet at least in one of the outbuildings, but I didn't see one.) Even with an acre of land, I think that $199k is too much.
See? I thought that there'd be a bath in one of the outbuildings.
some rogues and gambit for my friend @zinomorix <3
