Favorite music atm?

Oooooh I'm obsessed with Chrissy Chlapecka's new song Andromeda 💅 it scratches my brain in such a good way

Aaaaand since I'm currently prepping for a DnD campaign set in a world inspired by Norse mythology, I'm listening to Kalandra on repeat. Their music is so addictive, I can't get enough of it, I keep imagining the whole story with their music as the soundtrack 😭 helpppp

(minor veilguard spoilers, critique) ✍️ on davrin's romance from someone who romanced him.

I've romanced Davrin with a Grey Warden rook. I like the (albeit few) romance scenes, especially the final romance scene which was intimate and romantic.

HOWEVER!! I can't help but feel that some opportunities were missed or cut from the game's final content. Flirting was fun, he gets very "come and see if you're worthy of my attention" with Rook, which plays very well into his character imho, but past that point the whole relationship boils down to one, maybe two banters that signal him & Rook are a couple, and nothing else. It felt empty and kinda flat, to the point sometimes I forgot him and my Rook were together... until the end, when Davrin says that he keeps distancing himself from others and looking for more casual flings because that's what Wardens do to avoid pain. It's SUCH an interesting aspect of rook/davrin relationship that isn't brought up except in that scene.

You may argue with him a little bit, nothing more than a couple of slightly heated sentences to which Davrin later refers to as "the fight we had" (or something similar), but it barely felt like a disagreement between lovers, at least to me.

I'm not new to the saga or Grey Wardens, and still!! Davrin's explanation, while it made sense, felt... belated? Too little, too late? It' like I didn't see it coming, because everything that came before was simply nonexistant. It felt incomplete, especially considering that Evka and Antoine were right there and their perspective as married Wardens & very much in love & very much covering each other's backs could've opened much, much more depth to Davrin getting attached to Rook. And think of all the dialogue possibilities with a Grey Warden Rook!!

I would've LOVED to see Davrin's struggle earlier, maybe in the middle of the game, instead of by the end of it. Davrin being resistant to reciprocate Rook's desire for a romantic connection would've made the romance juicier and more interesting to me, not to mention more believable for someone in his position. TL;DR: The idea was good, the pacing was off.

All of this said... I understand that the game went through development hell and they salvaged what they could; the romance scenes with Davrin were still lovely ("the road less traveled. that's how I found you"🥲❤️), I just wish there was something *more* you know. well. that's why we fanartists&fanwriters exist 🫡

if you were a spirit in the Dragon Age world, what kind would you be? I think I'd be a spirit of curiosityyyyy I just can't help it, if I don't know something I MUST look it up and I'm constantly learning new things

what if we had life changing scars and we kissed.. what if 🫣 junichi: @alicespamma , hanai: mine

local reborn druid challenges you to a staring contest. he is autistic and makes too much eye contact. he's probably gonna win

I've created Hanai almost a year ago, damn!!! I've been playing him in aWestern-themed campaign for a while.

atm I'm currently reworking his backstory & design a little bit, I'm in between campaigns. I usually don't play characters again even if their story ends earlier than anticipated but he's my only exception! he's just so fun....

pictured above with Junichi, his dhampir boyfriend (UNDEAD BOYFRIENDS!!!!!) who belongs to my lovely gf @alicespamma. Hanai's homebrew druidic circle allows him to turn into undead creatures and do all sorts of spooky stuff!! he can speak with carcasses, turn into a giant undead alligator, and much more. just a freaky, weird dude i wouldn't want to be in a dark alley with (and that's what makes him so fun to roleplay)

I'll post more about him and his friends, eventually!!
