I find it very telling that Tamsyn Muir, who came up through this hellsite, wrote books where the evil emperor starts out as a basically okay leftist millennial tumblr user.

What makes the villain the villain (inasmuch as it's useful to examine TLT characters through that kind of simplistic lens) is that when the chips are down and he has to choose, his priority is punishing the wicked, not saving the people left behind.

I would invite anyone whose engagement with their cause consists of finding the 'correct' group of people to hate, to consider whether 'evil emperor' is the next career move you see yourself taking, and if it isn't, to gently suggest disembarking from the hate train.

Because no one wants their God King to be a tumblrina called John.

need a polite way to say "im not engaging in a discussion on this topic with you because the conclusions you have reached are based on so many interwoven layers of misconceptions it would be easier to just like, hard reset your whole brain, just start over as a baby and try again"

btw it is sexy and cool to uplift and admire people who have skills you wish you had without using their ability as a stick to beat yourself with. even and especially if you are jealous of them.

when people are like "i didn't come here to make friends" i'm like thats sooooo unrelatable. i am always on the look out for some girl friends. I would be in that hunger games cornucopia like "your ex boyfriend did WHAT."

I am enduring the Alectopause as best I can, but I can get these two out of my mind. For Harrow's design I wanted to explore some type of headpiece and landed on a pelvis. I like how it accentuates her silhouette and carries with it birth imagery. Which I think suits her nicely as the Reverend Daughter.

see this is why when people tell me “veilguard presents you with morally dubious things your companions/allies/factions do and wants you to think about them on your own” (paraphrased, previously said to me regarding the mourn watch) i cannot agree because i simply do not believe that the writers had any intention for you to think about the morality of anything in this game. the shadow dragons are Good and they’re Helpful Good People who are Perfect and Nice and Saving the World. just like you as the veilguard are doing Good by stopping solas. if we were meant to question the shadow dragons at all there would maybe be something anywhere in the game about “hey, isn’t it weird that this resistance group is being led by wealthy human altus mages and there are no elves or former slaves in positions of leadership” but there simply is not. you are expected to go along with the shadow dragons being The Only, or at least The Best, resistance group in tevinter—never mind that they have existed for logically a maximum of 3-5 years. they are Your Friends and therefore you can trust them and they’re doing everything right. same goes for the mourn watch using wisps for labor and the crows “ruling” antiva and every returning character saying you have to stop solas from tearing down the veil.

if you were meant to question these things they would not be presented as certainties. your companions would not be regarded as 100% trustworthy sources on everything. you would be able to raise your doubts and express disagreement with their motives or logic. on the other side of the same coin, the antaam and venatori and evanuris and every companion villain like aelia and hezenkoss and anaris are Evil Bad No Nuance, Evil To Be Evil. you are not supposed to dig any deeper. and there is no “deeper” really, in most cases, because the devs just fully didn’t want to deal with all that, or in cases like anaris made them flat cartoon villains on purpose (thanks epler). sure some content got cut and the game was rushed but the level of smoothing over bumps and glossing over potential questions and inability to disagree with your companions or allies about literally fucking anything is so ingrained into every aspect of the game that it cannot be unintentional

you are not supposed to think about veilguard because if you do everything falls apart immediately. from the varric twist to the integrity of the factions to your companions’ motives to the solas of it all. everything is given to you as straightforwardly as possible and you are intended to take it at face value and if you try to pick it apart it’s obvious that this game is held together with duct tape and false promises and snarky bluesky posts
