When Veilguard comes out, please keep it in the back of your mind every single time you interact with Varric and Lucanis that their writer got laid off with little to no warning and that she is and always will be a Dragon Age legend and one of the reasons why the franchise has stayed afloat for as long as it has

[m4gehand]

Now HERE is a good and valid reason to criticize Bioware/EA, and a really important story to share around while DA4 has the buzz it does!!!

Corporations need to be called out on their anti-worker bullshit regardless of the quality of the products they produce.

[megafreeman]

Hey so remember that this is one of the worst layoffs to ever happen because

Bioware management denied to give the laid off workers the severance they were contractually obligated to give. They were entitled to one month's pay for every year they worked at Bioware but were given far less than that (Mary Kirby specifically worked for Bioware for 17 years).

The laid off Dragon Age devs are in this unique position unlike any other game developer. Since Veilguard isn't out yet, they are still under the NDA and can't share the work they've done on the game for their portfolio. Because Veilguard has been in development for 10 years, with none of them working on anything else, that essentially leaves a 10 year gap in their portfolio.

Nobody wants to admit ageism is a real thing but if you like look around at how (capitalist) society treats the elderly it's kind of insane actually. Especially if you take into account intersections of misogyny and racism & how nearly all of them are disabled in some way. Some ostensibly progressive white kid will be talking about "ugh I hate old people" cause they think they're all bigots or whatever but you gotta stop projecting your issues with, like, uncle dale being weird at thanksgiving dinner. Yknow. Old people are just people who got older

[tlirsgender]

Like as an Angry Youth myself I get the frustration with older people as authority figures and whatnot but your average senior joe isn't an out of touch politician or whatever. And I think we should all take the time to examine our attitudes towards, for example, the skills of older women. Do you value textile art as much as other more male-dominated crafts? Why not? & do you get pissy about having to walk slower for someone else & how does this reflect your views on disability? And so on and so forth. Yknow. Blah. Grandma solidarity I'm not joking

[tlirsgender]

& honestly like for every old person getting their brain melted by fox news there are just as many young people being fed the same reactionary slop by the tiktok algorithm and shit. Being young doesn't make you progressive you still have to Think. There are people who were fighting for civil rights in the 60s and 70s. Learning from people who came before you is how we advance anything, actually

White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I had to reblog this as soon as I stopped laughing

[cozysafechaotic]

My sister did this. Only her masterpiece that my parents HATE is

[loubuttons]

actually @ every fanfiction writer whether you wrote something that got thousands of reblogs and comments and became a staple in your fandom, or you wrote one fic and deleted it, or you write mutilchaptered fics that never get a final update, or write short fics, or long fics, or used to write and now you don’t, or you deleted/orphaned your works, or you only share with friends:

thank you.

sharing your writing is hard. and sometimes it’s thankless. sometimes it’s such a negative experience that I wonder how anyone does it at all. but you are needed; you are wanted. whether or not we properly acknowledge it, you are a vital part of fandom culture. thanks for sharing.

is there ANYTHING more pure than a friend sharing their wip novel or their comic idea or literally any creative project of theirs with you……NO. you made that with your own two hands and if i could eat it i would (out of love respect and admiration obviously)
