im gonna start talking about any dragon age character like people talk about vivienne.

i think varric is an interesting character, even if i dont support being a crime lord

i dont agree with her views on wanting to kill every mage in the circle for being cowards, but i do like morrigan

i hate her pro-religious politics, but leliana is cool

i don´t like dorian's using the dead to fight but i respect who he is

Old abandoned grocery store repurposed as a library

Certified Library Post

"Hey, we need to renovate this grocery store into a library."

"Okay, I got you."

*Removes the B from the BREAD sign*

"Done"

[ID: a color photograph of the interior of a grocery store, bereft of food and other such items. Instead, books sit on the empty refrigerator shelves. There is also a book cart with holiday music CDs, likely a seasonal display, and troughs containing more CDs. An old store sign comprised of individual light-up boxes with lettering was repurposed from saying "bread" to just saying "read" by taking away the B. The floor is beige tiles with geometrical red accents. The walls are painted predominantly green with a blocky, horizontal red stripe in the center. The ceiling is the white paneling and pipes so typical for grocery stores. The space has admittedly a bit of a liminal vibe, as if you wandered into a library in the backrooms that is potentially cursed. End ID.]

Fortuneteller, turning over the Death card: Don't worry. It isn't literal. It simply refers to some form of change. Me: Phew Fortuneteller; turning over the Gets Eaten by the Fortuneteller While Trying to Leave card: That can also mean many things

I’m not gonna say what the complaint was because I don’t want to come off like I’m criticising one person in particular, but I saw a tweet gain a lot of traction with a complaint about something that supposedly happened that showed poor attention to detail and sloppy writing and I just did the quest it was in and it was just. Blatantly not true. Like the thing they’re complaining about didn’t even happen. And they were doubling down on it in comments implying something even more blatantly not true happened.

And like. This is the state of veilguard criticism. People will just straight up make shit up that’s blatantly not true, if you point out it’s not true you get ignored at best, then people don’t play the game based on that criticism, never learn it’s completely made up, and then repeat the criticism as what they heard about it. So it becomes part of peoples opinions despite never being true.

This is an issue with bad media criticism in general, but for years before Veilguard released, I had always said that the way people have been basically planning DA4 in their heads for so long... there was always going to be a massive freakout. People in the DA fandom (generally, in this part of fandom) get so invested in their own characters, headcanons, speculations, elaborate fanfic storylines, and stuff that "fixes" canon (you know, making things up for fandom) that I honestly think that the canon/fanon lines are super blurry for a lot of people.

And if you're already pissy at Veilguard because it didn't do something you wanted or you don't like the aesthetic -- or, at this point, you've made hating Veilguard part of your personality because you apparently have nothing better to do -- then you're going to be so negatively biased that you just start making shit up lol

It was not a good time in fandom to be a fan of Solas/Solas-shipping in particular when Veilguard came out if you enjoyed it. I unfollowed and blocked so many people who acted like the devs had dropped an anvil on their house because Solas was... the villain.

Which we knew he would be. For ten years.

And they were still "hurt" and "betrayed" and scarred and whatever because Solas acted like canon Solas instead of the many variations of fanon Solas (who is generally softer, sadder, and less of a jackass). You can't argue with someone who's emotionally attached to hating something as a social activity; even if they do soften or come around or just start getting over it to do something else, they're not going to stop Being Like That about Veilguard, even if they have to make up new things to get mad at. It's all kinds of silly goose behavior that has nothing to do with whether the game is good or not.

I'm pretty forgiving of a whole lot of nonsense, my grouching aside. But I do judge this thing in fandom where grown adults are experiencing ~emotional damage~ for months or YEARS after their thing of choice ends in a way they don't like. They can do what they like, obvi, I'm not the boss of people's emotions, but I do get to judge. It's ridiculous.

#There was always going to be the version of the game in their heads that they'd built over 10 years #no matter what the final product was there would be people who didn't like it #my biggest confusion is from the people who say “it's not a dragon age game” like have you even paid attention to the previous games or #did you just play Origins when you were 16 and cemented that as the only Dragon Age game?

[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
