ik she probably actually turned into a dragon, but have you considered Flemeth just dragging them all the way to her hut for fun

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

if you aren't best friends with your lover and a little bit in love with all your friends than what's the fucking point

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

on the use of the word "okay" in thedas

So, "okay" is a word that doesn't appear much in DA dialogue through the first three installments, though it's become quite common by Veilguard.

Likely not an intentional evolution, but a symptom of the fact that the language used in DAV is generally more contemporary than the other installments. Still. Let's play in the space. Because it's not that no one uses "okay" before then. It's actually a relatively common Varric word -- he says it in both DA2 and DAI.

Obvious conclusion: "Okay" is dwarven slang.

(Corollary headcanon: Increased contact with the surface has spread dwarven slang more widely. Perhaps even helped by the popularity of Varric's books...)

Over my breakfast this morning I stared into space wondering what the origins of "OK" could be in the dwarven context. Orzammar is the obvious O. So... Orzammar Kingdom? Orzammar King?

Of course. "OK" is the seal that Orzammar's king uses to express that a document has his approval.

Don't worry everyone. It all makes sense now.

[dalek-thal]

"OK" being the Orzammar King's seal and now part of common parlance through the Merchant's Guild is now canon.
