I know it shouldn’t shock me that fandom is like this, but I still can’t wrap my head around Davrin hate.

He was delightful and hot and sexy and cute with Assan and one of my favorites hands down, and I feel like this is Wyll from BG3 all over again. It makes me so mad for my bois.

also sorry i just don't find the trope of "woman who hates men learns to love men again because she met one really sweet dude" very compelling. at best i think it's boring and eye-rolling wish fulfillment for people who never got over their lesbian crush and at worst i think it's actively and purposefully misogynistic

[dykieran]

ESPECIALLY when its meant to be "fluffy" like sorryyyyy i just don't think Woman Learns Her Place In Society is a very cutesy sweet trope

there she is………. my wife

petition to nuke the whole veilguard subreddit because this might be my last straw about this group

the fans of the most progressive DA game strikes again. heart

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

[maxknightley]

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."

[footlongdingledong]

thing thats good: yay

thing thats bad: aww

thing that has both genuinely amazing pieces of storytelling and abysmal dogshit slop both happening like entirely interchangably:

–"You don't pay attention to templars, Qunari or politics, but you notice kittens?"

–"Templars, Qunari, and politics don't meow and attack your feet when you're buying food."

wanted to illustrate one of my favorite banters in da2!! merrill, my beloved<33

on the use of the word "okay" in thedas

So, "okay" is a word that doesn't appear much in DA dialogue through the first three installments, though it's become quite common by Veilguard.

Likely not an intentional evolution, but a symptom of the fact that the language used in DAV is generally more contemporary than the other installments. Still. Let's play in the space. Because it's not that no one uses "okay" before then. It's actually a relatively common Varric word -- he says it in both DA2 and DAI.

Obvious conclusion: "Okay" is dwarven slang.

(Corollary headcanon: Increased contact with the surface has spread dwarven slang more widely. Perhaps even helped by the popularity of Varric's books...)

Over my breakfast this morning I stared into space wondering what the origins of "OK" could be in the dwarven context. Orzammar is the obvious O. So... Orzammar Kingdom? Orzammar King?

Of course. "OK" is the seal that Orzammar's king uses to express that a document has his approval.

Don't worry everyone. It all makes sense now.

[dalek-thal]

"OK" being the Orzammar King's seal and now part of common parlance through the Merchant's Guild is now canon.

now, if you’re done trying to confuse the issue, i’m going to go.
