hi i'm bee (she/they), i'm over 30 and have loved leliana/leliwarden for over half my life and won't stop now. currently you can find mostly dragon age, women, and femslash being shared here.
and as for my opinion on veilguard:
...i was not a fan. i write/reblog critical posts from time to time and you can blacklist the tags "veilguard/datv/bioware/dragon age critical", "[full dev name]/[last dev name] ie weekes/trick weekes critical", and/or "[character name] critical ie solas critical" to avoid seeing them if you want to follow me.
otherwise welcome! and feel free to like/reblog spam!

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.
Hey Bee! I was browsing your Marjolaine posting, which inspired me to actually look up her wiki again, and well - I seem to have accidentally made my Beth Amell, who romances Leliana, strongly resemble Marjolaine.
HI HELLO THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK I'm always glad to know when someone puts Leliana in the torment nexus and even more glad to give her an even worse complex about her ex with her new partner. 💞💞💞
I want to buy a plane ticket home to visit my friends and family. I am in Idaho, and all my family and friends are back in Wisconsin. I'm lonely, but tickets are spendy.
So I am having a sale on my Etsy!! Everything is 25% off. Please help me get home.
Leli's rocky relationship with consent and being able to say no to things + Amell/Surana from a Circle where "everybody was kissing everybody" and that being the expectation whether they're comfortable with it or not makes me so insane
Amell/Surana hardwired stuck in survival mode even outside the Circle and thinking "oh fuck I need to do everything NOW RIGHT NOW DON'T THINK ABOUT IT" because they don't know how to live otherwise vs Leliana who is so blissfully unaware their partner is in their own torment nexus and happy to be with someone she loves fight fight fight.
I think it’s crazy that Dorothea was also tricked and abused by Marjolaine, and still did what she did to Leliana. Like she knew what Leliana went through, and although her experience with Marjolaine was much less intense and damaging, she could understand what Leliana went through to a point. But she still ended up using Leliana in a very similar way. I’m not saying this is bad writing or anything, it’s just crazy in a very awful way.
I think that's probably one of the most fascinating parts of Dorothea's character is she purposely aligns herself as "the Leliana" in their situation, but she leans more into being "the Marjolaine". She is obviously still a victim, yes, but both she and Leliana react so different and Dorothea just assumes Leliana wants the same thing as she does, or arguably, was as hurt as Leliana was, and neither of those are the case.

I used Embrium references from both da2 and dai also I couldn’t find a reference for the Arukin'Holm so I used the Honeycut Dagger bc that’s the item you get when you don’t give it to Merrill apparently.
