If you don’t mind me asking, what did you use for the doorknobs for the side door in the kitchen on Famfrit, Goblet ward 14 plot 60? I’ve been hurting my brain trying to figure it out 😂 Thank you so much! 💕
It’s the knob of the Simple Curtain.
I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it
Dimitri knows a woman when he sees one
Inspo from a thread I had on twitter with some mutuals ⭐️
a rose by any other name Cultural differences and smooth lines. Koba was discussing how Keepers don’t have an intimate form of their given name the same way Seekers do and what G’raha might think of that and it was such a FLUFFY IDEA…
Recognizing The Components of Whitewashing
I’ve gotten a couple of asks recently, wondering why people are calling the newest whitewashed Zevran mod on the Nexus whitewashing, when his skin colour hasn’t been lightened. (And it actually has, by the way. The creator even shows this in the before and after images?) So I thought I would take a minute to explain that there is actually more to whitewashing than just skin colour.
Whitewashing is the lightening of a character’s skin.
This is pretty easy to recognize; you take a brown character for example and make them paler. Whitewashing is colourism, which is a part of racism.
This is disgustingly overt whitewashing of Vivienne, made all the more terrible when coupled with the description “hopes for people from Eastern Europe, who doesn’t care about insane sjw shouting”:
What is most obvious is the change of her skin and eye colour. But take a closer look at the changes the artist made to the shape of her nose, her lips, her jaw, her cheeks… That is just as much a part of this insult.
Whitewashing is also erasing a character’s other nonwhite features to make them look more beautiful by white Eurocentric standards.
Now, obviously not every Black person has lips like Vivienne does, but it is a common trait, and they are something that has throughout history been insulted, mocked, used in scientific racism and more. It’s only been very recent that thicker lips have become a beauty trend, and even then they’re only considered trendy when on white women who surgically alter them. (Really interesting how that works, huh.)
Even if the above picture didn’t alter her skin but altered everything else, it would still be whitewashing. It would still be whitening her appearance.
You see this kind of thing a lot from artists who do not have experience drawing different facial features. Stepping out of the Dragon Age fandom for a moment, here is a perfect example of what I mean by this: Look at T’Challa and Shuri in this MCU art compared to the other characters in the picture. They have the same facial features as MCU Wanda, MCU Pietro, MCU Loki, Thor, and Hela, and nothing like the actors that play those characters. (T’Challa is especially bad. That man’s whole face was robbed.) Intentional or not, this is whitewashing. It means the artist needs to practice more diversity in their artwork.
So swinging all the way back to what prompted this post in the first place: Mods that redesign Zevran from this…
to like this…
Even if his skin colour isn’t lightened–which it also is in most cases, like all but one of the assaults to the eyes above–it is still whitewashing. It is still actively deciding that you would like this character better if he did not have typically nonwhite facial features. You should ask yourself why that is.
and there, at its center, we found… him.

Book: saliva is actually filtered blood!
Me: ʕʘ‿ʘʔ

Book: saliva also contains a painkiller that is stronger than morphine, but we don’t produce a lot of it otherwise we’d be constantly high
Me: ʕʘ Д ʘʔ
Opiorphin is 6x stronger than morphine and actually contains an anti-depressant compound which is why some doctors believe it’s linked to comfort eating

U Have a good heart but ur mind is folly u cant sit their lie and expect people to belive that satanism is "good" ur LITERALLY worsphining the bad guy from every other religion. If u read the bible it will tell u how he thought he could do a better job than God that created him and all things. He was wrong, and was turned into the monster he is. Also he has no real power. He will lie in ur ear to get your soul to burn in Hell with him. He's not Hell's ruler, he's a prisoner there.
The first thing I’ll make clear here is I’m more in line with atheism than I am with any real religion. It’s not that I don’t believe any deity or god from any other religion exists, just that I personally am not prepared to devote myself to any of them as I don’t feel any spiritual need to.
So with that being said, I believe a lot of religions have many positive aspects and I like the messages many of them send. Kindness, empathy, equality and treating your fellow human beings fairly. Those are the messages I can get behind. Unfortunately, many religions also carry with them messages I don’t approve of. Many times these are the results of a human interpretation. Many times they are written within the core beliefs of the religion themselves. For that reason I have never fully believed/liked Catholicism/Christianity. You can either blame God for having those beliefs or you can blame God for not leading their followers better. Same with Satanism. Blame Satan for having those beliefs or leading their followers in that manner. This is pretty much my stance on all religion.
So that’s why I said you can’t call modern Satanism inherently evil. Having read their tenets and rules, much of it can be summed as “Do no harm unto others until harm is done unto you.” Basically, be polite but not a doormat. I think that’s a good stance to have to protect yourself and your family. Also don’t forget that all your views come primarily from a single source. In Greek/Roman mythology, Hades is a just and fair ruler and it is widely believed Persephone, his wife, was a much more cruel judge than he.
So you can see Satan as someone who tried to unjustly usurp God’s power and was imprisoned for it but spared out of God’s mercy, or you can see Satan as someone who tried to rebel against the will of God and was punished for daring to do so.
By all means believe what you want, but blindly believing things to be inherently good or evil is dangerous.
I also wanted to answer this privately but either Tumblr is borked or I was blocked. So here I am with all my thoughts and not willing to let my hard work go to waste.
Good thing no one is arguing that legality equals morality then, huh?
Reminds me of a Social Studies class I once had (where the teacher was on a hard ego trip) and it was a debate style session. I can’t remember what the exact argument was about but I remember saying something and someone countering with “But it’s the law.” and looking at me like I had said something overwhelmingly stupid. My “teammates” all tried to assure me with “It’s okay! Don’t worry.” And I was like? Excuse me? Law doesn’t automatically mean it’s right? It means it was a social rule created by the majority/those in power with penal sanction if broken. Imagine recognizing everything we know and believe is a result of a human being’s thought process and therefore subject to flaw.
Same class where everyone agreed we learned nothing from WWI because we had a WWII. Like you stupid fucks the circumstances that triggered the war were completely different and fuck yes shit was learned. We learned how to be far more deadly for starters. We also learned that Europe being a clusterfuck of treaties is like a giant ass Rube Goldberg machine where the end result is “fffffffuuuuuck.” Cannot believe that was considered an Honors course. Jesus take the wheel I’m still mad about it over 10 years later.
