A lot of people on Tik Tok have migrated over to the Chinese app RedNote, and the Chinese users are so fucking funny about it. I saw one comment that was like "Welcome, I was the Chinese citizen assigned to spy on your data, I missed you"
Big fan of this, too
DATV spoilers beneath the cut but more in that I am aghast at someone's proposed "fix" to part of the endgame plot. Not tagging because it's also somewhat salt/vague blogging.
I just saw someone in the tags say whichever mage companion gets captured by Elgar'nan should have become a Brood Mother. They proposed this as part of a scheme to make Veilguard "have consequences".
I cannot describe how hard I physically recoiled upon reading this.
I mean, that doesn't even make sense given that these Darkspawn are quite literally not the same as in a traditional blight. They don't need a mechanism to make more Darkspawn. Ghilan'nain is quite literally a flesh-crafting god with the Blight at her command.
But beyond that, I can barely handle DAO's Broodmother which happens to an unfamiliar NPC in low res. I avoid that encounter for as long as I possibly can and then speed through it and try to put it out of my brain.
The suggestion that it would have been a good thing to do to a companion you've grown to cherish and in modern HD...
I honestly would have quit Veilguard then and never come back.
There's a level of sexual violence to the whole idea of Broodmothers that I just personally cannot deal with. And the idea of bringing that back in the modern era is genuinely upsetting; I don't fucking care if someone thinks the game "isn't dark enough".
I'm just still ‼️👎🤢😱‼️
Thank you so much for making a post about it. This particular “critique” is so beyond disgusting and repulsive to me. And it tells me a lot about the person who originally said it. It’s vile and they should really rethink how they view and interact with women in media.
The Broodmother is a relic of the 2000's "edginess" that Origins fucking revelled in. As someone who was a teenager when I played Origins, I am kinda embarrassed to admit I loved that shit, because in my mind it made the game "mature".
It doesn't. The use of sexual violence for shock value (which is really what it is) is immature as hell. It's like a joke where the punchline is someone getting sexually assaulted. Sure, it's horrific, but they could have very well presented broodmothers without the sexual violence element (that is present in its design, see the massive number of breasts the thing has). If they wanted to handle it maturely, they could have made it gender-neutral and blighted a person to hell and had them generate darkspawn through processes similar to mitosis (ie how it's handled in Veilguard, which is still horrific don't fucking @ me).
Note of course, my credentials: I'm a damn horror writer. Sexual violence has no place in a text that isn't treating the survivor with respect. Origins pushed the survivor off to the side and made the scene about the perpetrator(s). That's not a good thing.
All of what's already been said. But Dalek-Thal really hit the nail on the head.
Somebody, please help me. 😭😍
Oh mod is right here: Neve Casual recolor
Oops my finger slipped...
Maybe nobody asked for Neve looking like she might either punch you or kiss you but here we are.
Look the Neve and Lucanis romance is fine, cute even at times. But the Neve and Rook romance is a category 5 event.
She is constantly on the verge of tears, clenching her fist, gripping the furniture, almost throwing up, because she cannot cope with how madly and deeply she has fallen for this fucking idiot.
Honestly its amazing everyone should experince being Trouble.
I love that her face always says more than her words. Too many listen but they don't really hear.
Insane that people are calling Neve's voice acting bad. She will say things like 'The shlorpledorp. Sneaky little creature. Tracked a nest of them running a stolen mitten smuggling ring once.' with a completely nonplussed tone. Unique woman in all of Thedas who is surprised by nothing but true love. Not everyone can pull that off.
I LOVE Manfred and Assan but...
we are sleeping on Neve and Rooks 86 wisp children
Excuse me while I shout into the void about my wife. This blog is my void and I'm basically just trying to not bother anyone with how much I adore this woman.
thinking about bellara and neve gossiping about rook
imagine bellara laying on neves bed kickin her feet as neve tells her about how things are going with rook
how she feels like she's known them her whole life
how comfortable they make her
how good the sex is
and bellara is screaming into a pillow
neve is trying not to cry or scream or throw up, and chain smokes the whole time
time is barely real at the lighthouse but they both stay up until, they assume, the early hours of the morning
vulnerability is hard but bellara is sweet and rook is kind and maybe that is enough
edit: this is literally canon
solving that very mysterious case of the missing fish...
Bellara Lutare, the veil jumper of Arlathan
Did you think I was done posting Neve edits? I'm sorry this Dragon Age fan has been in hibernation and just woken up. It's going to be a long rest of the year if you don't love Neve as much as I do.
Also TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR NEVE HEADCANONS!
neve gallus really is the DA romance of all time for me and i understand why the cullen girlies are Like That now. she's a jaded cynic, she's introduced having a smoke in front of a corpse she stabbed in the back, she claims to live off fried fish when it is clearly grilled fish, she hangs out with transgender people wanted for political crimes in a basement, she's afraid of emotional intimacy, she sounds like she's going to both cry and throw up when she says 'i love you', she wears cunty little hats, she's canonically into short kings, she likes cats, and she's even bisexual
Rook: *punches the first warden*
Bellara and Emmrich: what the fuck-
Everyone else: *cheerful clapping*
this is all i have to say at the moment
"The Veil Guard didn't actually care about Rook" the Veil Guard was so desperate to get Rook back from the prison they tried to make a ritual dagger of their own to rip the Veil apart and look for them
Rook wasn't their boss, Rook was their home
