In the wake of a new campaign starting I figured I might bring this up; I think a majority of the cast have a very fluid view of their character's sexualities (with exceptions) and most labels given to characters are headcanons.

To clarify further; I thought about this when I saw a post talking about the Q&A before one of the liveshows where it was said that Ashley mentioned she has read some Yasha and Essek fanfic and lowkey ships it now. And as someone who had labelled Yasha a lesbian in my head, it threw me off for a second before realising that was never something Ashley confirmed (it was mentioned by others describing her, but never Ashley herself iirc). We see this a lot, characters are queer in that they are canonically attracted to the same or multiple genders, but specific labels are never clarified.

The exceptions are characters like Caduceus, Tary, Beau and Orym whose single attraction or lack of attraction was mentioned in game so it's easy to slap a label on them, but for character's like Fearne or Scanlan, whether they're bi or pan or aro-spec is all up to fan interpretation. Imogen is wlw but also mentioned a crush on a guy in the past so whether that was comp-het or she is bi is up to fan interpretation. They're never specified so specific parts of story will resonate with different communities for different reasons, all are valid.

Basically to say- With the new campaign, unless a character's sexuality is word of god specified, interpretations will be different and most likely will be figured out as they play, so don't get too attached to your headcanons too early. But also, unless specified otherwise, don't be a dick about people's headcanons with other fans.

ashton saying the arch heart was the only god in downfall who seemed to have misgivings about what they did. i'm sorry to say that is such a load o' crock

Oh my such spice.

Love the idea that Raven Queen in her own realm feels an arcane magic wielder proposing some batshit crazy maybe it’ll work maybe it won’t hubris plan like a disturbance in the force and Instantly is like oh I’ve Got to stop this shit in its tracks

[naarcisssus]

also on the arch hearts whole idea of using predathos to chase the gods away so that they all can survive and mortals get what they want, i hope im remembering this correctly but hasnt it been confirmed that melora will die if she leaves exandria because shes so entwined with the planet and nature, so either way releasing predathos means at least one is the arch hearts siblings is going to die this plan has too much what ifs, and honestly going back to everything that has already said, ripping the gods away from exandria, whether they leave or die, will cause an upheaval so large and a power vacuum so big that exandria will likely fall into another calamity or world ending event without the gods interference anyways

I know they have Zathuda to deal with and whatever they are going to do with the Unseelie, but I’m so curious how this conversation about the Arch Heart’s plan is going to go, especially with Dorian and Ashton so on board with it right now, because the big question I still have and I hope they bring up is “well wtf happens to the vessel?” 

And it’s not that Dorian and Ashton would be callous about this - I simply think neither has thought about it. They just don’t know what it would do. Like would Dorian let another one of his friends potentially lose themselves just to maybe get the gods to flee? You hate the gods for manipulating mortals and playing with their lives, but you’re willing to let a potentially scarier power manipulate your friend to get rid of them? And would this sacrifice even mean mortals stop fighting on behalf of their fleeing gods? Would this actually make things better or is this just a way to make Ludinus’ plan more palatable to you? 

It really does spiral out to a lot of the same down sides of siding with Ludinus - instead this time the gods might not die. And you still need to look one of your friends in the eye and say “hey, hope you don’t lose yourself to a scary god eater, no idea if you can come back from this, good luck,” Dorian ESPECIALLY should understand what an ask this is after seeing what happened with Opal. 

Again, not saying this is how Dorian or Ashton or any of them will come down once they’ve thought about it, but this plan is not as “have your cake and eat it too” as they seem to initially think.

I'm so tired y'all 😩🙄🤬

[naarcisssus]

genuinely its so hard for me to root for anything that ashton says about the gods, like i understand that taleisin is intentionally playing them as a hypocrite but hes just so arrogant that everything he says pisses me off
