thinking about hunter davrin before he hunted monsters

[seaglassmelody]

So Davrin hasn’t been back to his clan since he left, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Because Davrin clearly cares a lot about being elven. He’s the first to point out how the actions of Solas and the Evanuris will negatively impact elves. He talks about how important the halla are, and the Way of Three Trees is core to his approach to life. It’s heavily implied that HE named Assan.

And yet he’s never gone back home. He didn’t fit in with clan life, and he’s obsessed with finding a purpose. I wonder if he feels guilty, like he needs to have an ultimate justification for why he left to “redeem” the choice. Because otherwise he’s betraying his people, his culture, to become part of the world at large— the world that harms elves and persecutes them. Is he afraid he’ll be scolded? That he won’t fit in anymore? That he won’t be seen as “really elven”?

This is why the scenes with Eldrin are so important. When Eldrin says “I’m glad you took the road less traveled” essentially, he’s giving Davrin permission to not feel guilty for his choices. He’s telling Davrin that he doesn’t have to Be A Specific Way to still be Dalish. He’s allowed to be himself and ALSO a Dalish elf— which goes hand in hand with the conflict between being a hunter and being a caretaker.

Technically Davrin’s arc starts when you meet him, but his character progress starts when he survives Weisshaupt. He’s been forced to face the fact that the world isn’t what he thought it was, which means he doesn’t have to hold himself to these strict rigid standards between categories. And that’s what Assan teaches him over the course of the game as well. He’s allowed to be many things, and he can accept all parts of himself without fear or shame.

#Make Racists Scared Again 2026

[creatingblackcharacters]

Share if you want people to know they should be scared to be racist around you 👊🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

"making them afraid will make them more racist" that's wild to me, because we live in a whole culture of social consequences for antiracism anyway. It is literally safer to be a racist than it is to speak up against it, socially.

Idk about you, but "I'm afraid no one will want to be my friend if I'm a white supremacist" seems like a pretty logical thought process to have, and I wish THAT were the normal and not "I'm afraid my friends will hate me if I tell them they made racist jokes".

happy pride <3

nevelara is incest is just josiana is incest all over again which in itself is just merribela is incest again. and the real question to ask is Hey bioware why do you keep trying to make all positive female relationships in your series #sisters and why are all the toxic ones lesbians

[creatingblackcharacters]

I'm not taking "be nice to racists or they'll cause fascism" advice, particularly from the person giving Villain-wannabe speeches. Y'all can keep these and just block me.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Funny enough, this is a core reason why I hate fantasy racism. It's always people like this who think "well you must have done SOMETHING to cause people to hate you! Have you tried not being a savage?" writing stories. No, I don't think it was the Ancient Curse of Mean Brown People that caused the fascist uprising of The Empire, actually.

children are so fucking funny man. i just overheard a kid go “i just learned a new way to pinch, wanna see it? it hurts a lot more!” followed by a loud, notably pained scream

[juney-blues]

heartbreaking:

girl has sooooooo many ambitions and ideas for projects but can only get 1.5 basic tasks done per day

[sha-brytols]

that one part in all that remains where hawke can spew the most venomous vitriolic shit about blood magic/magic just in general to merrill and anders and they just take it like they dont get mad or try to start an argument because they know hawke is speaking from grief. it clearly hurts merrills feelings but she still calmly and emphatically tells hawke she's sorry and offers them space. anders sits down and straight up tells them they can take it out on him if it makes them feel better. can anyone hear me

[rneliflua]

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

[rneliflua]

blorbofication to me is when you love a character in such a laser focus way that you somewhat detach them from the narrative from which they are inserted and treat them in a way roughly similar to how you'd treat an oc for which you still have no story and just like to put them in situations just for fun. which there's nothing wrong with btw, it's just that it can easily lead to people forgetting the character engine in a narrative and not just a barbie doll

One of my favorite bits of storytelling through lighting in Moonlight (2016)

In the first act of the film, Juan tells Chiron the story of a woman who once told him, “Running around, catching up all that light, in moonlight black boys look blue. You blue,” and he unofficially gives that nickname to Chiron. From then on, the color blue represents that little kid inside of him, his queerness, his true self. It’s a hint at the complexity inside of his hard outward character. And once he becomes a drug dealer, mirroring Juan, he goes by Black.

My favorite little detail is in this scene. They’re in the car together driving over to Kevin’s place, and Kevin looks just about ready to eat him alive. And Chiron goes; “What you looking at me like that for?” He gets all flustered and laughs for the first time since we’ve met this adult version of him.

And for a short moment as he’s laughing, a light from the outsides bathes him in blue light, shining directly at us, as if that blue is coming right out of him. It can’t be contained any longer, it’s fighting to break out. It’s a glimpse of Kevin’s view as he’s able to see through the gangster facade and sees the real Chiron, Blue.

pointless

[drill-teeth]

Something I really struggle to get people to understand is that like. Sometimes there was no intentional homoerotic subtext, the author was just extremely misogynistic. Sometimes the author wasn't "secretly shipping" those two men, the author literally just hates women so much that they see them as being literally incapable of relationships with depth. Like this is kind of a big thing with misogyny actually. A lot of extremely misogynistic people truly believe that a man can only have meaningful and complex relationships with other men because they literally just think women are so inferior they only exist to birth children and clean the house. It's like when people say along the lines of "no one worships exclusively men quite like straight men do". It's just that phenomenon actually. That happens to be manifesting in a raging misogynist's writing. Writing a man character who literally only puts effort into his friendships with other men while completely ignoring his literal girlfriend or wife is actually an extremely straight thing to write. And that doesn't mean you can't ship those men or that there are no stories with actual intentional homoerotic subtext. I just think it's important to be able to recognize extreme misogyny in writing and acknowledge it without brushing it off and assuming good intentions when literally all evidence is screaming that this was a misogynistic writing choice and not a representing gay men choice.

Every version of you was necessary. Even the ones you’re ashamed of.
