It's astonishing how much of a mind fuck it is when you get excited to share a game/fandom with someone you considered a friend for years, experience them play all of ten seconds of said game before they spit on it, call it horrible, uninspired, and derivative, won't actually get to what the story is actually about before shitting all over it, and then a year later stumble over and see that same person making the game their whole personality, praising how good it is, reposting endless content of it, writting near a dozen fics for it, and begging to find servers for that fandom.

All to say that that level of hypocrisy is crazy to see, and I'm so glad that I ended that friendship if that's how two-faced they are and probably were the whole time.

I hope you enjoy the attention, since I know that's the only thing you ever cared about 👋

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

#big fan of putting people into situations #and seeing how that changes them #I can believe a lot of supposed ooc behaviour if you show me how you got there (x)

I'm busy writing about the Necropolis in my fic and it's just occurred to me how wild the ethical implications of it are. It really feels like there's a discrepancy in how different bodies are treated.

Some are laid quietly to rest in the lovely memorial garden or a separate burial chamber. Some, like the Nevarran king and the skeleton chefs who make your romantic memorial garden meal with Emmrich, are allowed to continue on as they were in life. Some, for whatever reason, are set up like museum displays. And then others are unceremoniously Frankensteined into wisp-powered servants and put to work. Right as you arrive you see that they use these skeletons for hard labour.

Everywhere else in Thedas burns their dead, so we can reasonably assume that all the bodies and skeletons we see in the Necropolis are Nevarran citizens. This being the case, how does it get determined what happens to your body after you die?

I imagine money might have something to do with it. Emmrich says he only laid his parents to rest in the memorial gardens long after they died, once his career was starting to take off. I doubt just anyone gets a spot in the memorial garden. This would imply that there are pauper graves too.

Or is the wisp worker factory what happens if you don't have money for a grave? Is this what happens to those who don't have family to make those arrangements? Is this what they do with prisoners? With their Johns and Janes Doe? I imagine that Emmrich would take issue with this if that was how it worked. He seems to be one of those people determined to do as little harm to those around him as possible. Or perhaps it's so deeply ingrained as just part of the culture that it doesn't seem all that wrong to him?

There's also a possibility that it works on a volunteer basis. Maybe you fill in a card like you do as an organ donor that explains exactly how you would like to be laid to rest, or that you're willing to donate your body to the betterment of the Necropolis in whichever way they see fit. Perhaps those who donate their bodies get wages sent to their loved ones in exchange for their labour?

I have SO MANY QUESTIONS about this that I'm never going to get answers for.

Necropolis Ball Inspo :

I’ll be forever bitter that we were ROBBED of a fancy ball at the necropolis, so here’s what Maude Ingellvar would’ve worn to the occasion (with Emmrich by her side, of course)
