It's almost like something happened in 2020-now that is causing these problems.
It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’re going through- the moment that you’re intentionally transphobic to someone out of anger at them, you cannot claim to be a progressive person who cares about restorative, victim-led justice.
Every time I watch a documentary about celebrities, I really end up hating anyone who decides to be part of the paparazzi.
Heart: *periodically has bittersweet feels about someone I was friends with for almost 20 years before things fell apart*
Brain: Hey, remember when they called you an ableist slur because you spoke up about your ex being abusive and ex replied with “I wasn’t!”?
Heart: Oh right, fuck that person!

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
dude.
$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.
me: omg i have so much stuff to do
me: i don't even have enough time for all this
me:
me: *opens tumblr*
Oooh, 13 years ago I was undiagnosed AuDHD… this makes so much sense lol
Following up on this post: I want to talk about Bellara.
Because if we’re asking for complex women in games, we need to be able to recognize complexity when it isn’t wrapped in fire and trauma and grit. Bellara isn’t flashy. She’s not morally ambiguous. She’s not here to shock or seduce. But she is layered, tender, intelligent, and quietly resilient in ways we don’t often celebrate in fandom discourse. And that deserves attention.
From the beginning, Bellara isn’t positioned as a rebel or an antihero, she’s a historian. A scholar. A hopeful idealist, yes, but one who’s already lost people and keeps moving forward anyway. Choosing hope in a world that’s falling apart isn’t shallow. And she does feel fear. She voices it. She just doesn’t let it define her. That's a female character with contradiction. Not erasing fear, but walking with it. Not retreating from danger, but engaging with it on her own terms. We so often frame strength as pushing through pain with stoicism, but Bellara’s strength is her openness. Her willingness to feel, to connect, to be affected by the world and still act.
And yeah, she’s sweet. She makes jokes. She gets flustered. She writes her own romance serials. She is sincere, and I know for some players that reads as simple. But sincerity is not simplicity.
Too often, we read female characters through the lens of contrast. “She’s not as edgy as X,” or “She’s not as sexy as Y,” so she must be underwritten. But Bellara isn’t less—she’s different. And difference is not deficiency.
Her story (and romance arc) is built on mutual vulnerability. On conversations. On grief that isn’t explosive, but slow and aching.
This is what Veilguard offers: A narrative where a woman can be a little awkward, a little idealistic, a little nerdy and still deeply moving. Still brave. Still central.
When we say we want female characters who are “allowed to be messy,” we should mean all kinds of mess. Bellara’s mess is emotional. And that, too, is narrative power.

I’m gonna reblog this until everyone in existence knows about this
The Coddled Griffon Case
Davrin: Hey Lucanis, do you… have a minute?
Lucanis: Oh, Davrin, I… sure
Davrin: I know we haven’t… always seen eye to eye, like, maybe I called you an abomination…
Lucanis: You did, among other things
Davrin: …and maybe I suggested that we should kill you because you’re a demon…
Lucanis: You made a strong case for it. Several times.
Davrin: …but at the end of the day, I think we are both men that can set our differences aside when it comes to doing what’s best for the team
Lucanis: Davrin… where are you going with this
Davrin: Look… someone has been sneaking Assan extra treats
Lucanis: what
Davrin: I know, I know! It doesn’t seem like a big deal but… it’s not good for his training! We can’t have him think he can just cozy up to anyone and get rewarded for it
Lucanis: I… sure. I will take your word for it
Davrin: And look, I’m not trying to come after anyone with torch and pitchfork here, I just… need to know who it is, so we can discuss it, as adults
Lucanis: An admirable goal
Davrin: Right? But the thing is… no one wants to admit to it! I know it’s not any of the ones sleeping at the back of lighthouse, it’s someone out here with us. And first I figured… if it was you I probably wouldn’t have noticed in the first place
Lucanis: I like to do things discretely, it’s true
Davrin: So I talked with everyone else, and we both know that Bellara and Harding can’t tell a lie to save their life, so… it has to be Neve! But talking to her is just pointless because she’s not giving away anything, she’s like a fortress!
Lucanis: She has a certain composure
Davrin: So… I can’t really accuse her of anything without evidence, and I know she’s not dumb enough to let me catch her in the act, but… she probably wouldn’t be looking out for you
Lucanis: You want me to spy on Neve for you?
Davrin: It sounds bad when you put it like that
Lucanis: …would you like to put it another way?
Davrin: I would like to do that yea, I just don’t know how to
Lucanis: I feel like that should tell you something
Davrin: Lucanis... I know that you are an honorable man, that is willing to make the hard choices for the sake of family. And we here… at the Lighthouse… we are like a family. You, me, Assan… Neve, Rook…. even that weird crab-head ghost, we’re all in this together
Lucanis: ..The Caretaker?
Davrin: Exactly! We should all strive to be the caretakers of each other’s problems
Lucanis: You know what... sure
Davrin: And I know Caterina taught you that sometimes you have to be tough one the ones you love if you want them to survive
Lucanis: I’m... not really sure that applies here
Davrin: I think it does.
Lucanis: Well
Davrin: And look, I’m no trying to tell you what do to here, because... I trust you to do the right thing. And I don’t want to influence your decision too much but… I’d owe you one, all right? I gotta go, but just… think about it ok? No pressure!
Lucanis: I don’t think… ! *sigh*
Lucanis: Mierda… I need a cup of coffee after this
//
Lucanis: The griffon has too much treats…. Has… everyone finally lost their minds… or have I finally lost my mind.
Spite: You say it like it can’t be both
Lucanis: Spite. Rhetorical question. We’ve talked about this.
Neve: Hey Lucanis! Do you mind if I sit down, or am I interrupting something?
Lucanis: Oh I was just… you know what, never mind. Please, Neve, go ahead
Neve: So Davrin finally caved in
Lucanis: He… what?
Neve: Honestly, I love that for you. You’ve come so far in your friendship that he’s willing to trust you with his dirty work
Lucanis: Neve I… I don’t know what you’re talking about
Neve: Of course you don't. But even if you didn't know what I say that I know I still know what you'd know from what I know that he knows
Lucanis: Neve, please, I haven't had my coffee yet
Neve: Davrin’s been trying to figure out who’s been sneaking Assan extra treats, he knows it’s one of us out here in the courtyard, but out of all the people he’s talked to no one seems to know anything, isn’t that just curious
Lucanis: It’s not the word I’d use but sure
Neve: Of course, Bel and Lace are as opaque with their intentions as a sheet of glass, and by all reason if it was you he probably wouldn’t have found out in the first place
Lucanis: I’m glad my talents are getting widely recognized
Neve: Which really only leaves me, and I can’t deny that I do make for pretty convincing prime suspect for this case
Lucanis: Someone gave snacks to a bird, I hardly think this should be called a case
Neve: But as sure as he probably is that it’s me, he can’t come accusing me of anything without evidence, because that would make him look irrational, and we can’t have that.
Lucanis: Neve, there is not a single part of this that seems rational to me
Neve: He knows he’s not gonna catch me all by himself, so what can a lone warden do but rally his troupe. He needs eyes out here in the yard, and sure Lace would be pretty handy at the task, but she’d be oh so morally conflicted about it. And even if he managed to convince Bel she would still be pretty useless. Which leaves… you
Lucanis: I wish the only way I had been left, was out of this
Neve: I just had to keep an eye out for when he’d inevitably come crawling to you. He got the right idea about talking to you when I’m not around, but… he wasn’t exactly discrete in the way he went about it. Sometimes the way you hide something reveals more about the thing you’re hiding than if you never tried to hide it in the first place, you know what I mean?
Lucanis: I don’t think I know what anything means anymore
Neve: Now he can’t exactly give you a contract, because he’s above that, so he has to try to convince you the comradely way. Which means, right now you are conflicted about what to do
Lucanis: Neve I'm conflicted about what to think
Neve: Must have felt great for him to finally overcome that hurdle, being able to ask you for help. But… he did take his sweet time with it, guess he had to swallow a lot of pride to get there. Which is… really fortunate for me because it’s given me plenty of time to… indulge, in other things
Lucanis: I feel like I’m not going to like where this is going
Neve: What was the name of supplier for your fancy coffee? Eligio Mancini? Lives at the upper end of the Treviso east district
Lucanis: Yes that’s… how did you..
Neve: Such a great product, or so I’ve been told, I'm not really privy to it. But as it happens I do know a Tevinter noble that is just crazy about the stuff, so naturally I just had to provide them a sample. And what would you know, they loved it. Probably so much that they’d buy out the entire stock… if I gave them the name of the supplier
Lucanis: Neve are you…
Neve: Am I what?
Lucanis: …are you blackmailing me?
Neve: Am I? I’m not playing the board, I’m just pointing out where the pieces are
Lucanis: Maker help me…
Neve: Oh The Maker can’t save you from me, you know that
Lucanis: That is definitely sacrilege… but also not inaccurate
Neve: Well, this has been… very informative Lucanis. I gotta go but please… don’t make any decision you will regret later
Lucanis: See you tonight?
Neve: Oh for sure, love you
Lucanis: Love you, bye
