Finding out that another piece of my soul got into an oc of mine without realizing it like hey!!! spit that out!! do i have to put child safety locks on this fucking thing!!

so what pisses me off about cassandra’s armour designs in dai is the other two warriors. blackwall and the iron bull are designed to convey bulk, right? these are brick walls of warriors and we are going to work hard around our vanilla models to establish that. blackwall’s going to have this big thick puffy gambeson (is that the right word) to establish some real body mass, and the iron bull is going to be just straight up massive with this unique body shape and miles and miles of torso and big arms and hands and horns and yada yada yada. and then we jump back to cassandra and it’s like actually we are going to do figure hugging leather now, yeah she wears leggings basically, and her waist and arms are just as skinny as every other woman in this game and we are not going to do anything to bulk them up because that’s the only shape women come in obviously. and it’s like ugh. Ughhhhh. and i know the whole time they were clapping themselves on the back for not doing boob plates because they wrote dialogue in-game clapping themselves on the back for that in which they had the nerve to make fun of crazy women for choosing to wear sexualised armour AAAAAGGGHHH. anyway.

One thing I hate about the digital age is the constant expectation people have about being available and reachable.

No, I do not want to have to check my phone every day. Or even every week. I don’t want the expectation on me to socialise and keep up with these notifications.

I‘m exhausted bro. I just want to enjoy life.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

Official Dragon Age Map with Distance Key!

I bring you a Dragon Age Map with the OFFICIAL distances calculated in miles! Higher rez version here for the regular map and here for the map with extra large boxes to help with reading larger distances.

Details under cut.

So I had been on the hunt for a Thedas map that actually had any distances calculated on it for years. There's some fan maps, but none were official.

Well, imagine my shock when I opened my dragon age ttrpg book to find a map at the back that DOES include official distances!! If you have the book, check the back, it's glued in there.

I found no one had uploaded this map online, though. So I took a photo, lined it up as best as I could with a map I found online of the same style, and then pasted in the distance calculator in the corner. I then added a grid on top. I couldn't find a better way of doing it than 5 squares for every 70 miles, which means each square is about 14 miles. I thought that'd be easier to calculate than trying to break a 70 mile chunk down.

Then I realized by looking at the map that trying to calculate longer distances using that map will suck cause they're such tiny squares... so I added another grid on top to make it so the large grid is 70 miles. I included both versions of the map for anyone to use.

According to this map and some online calculators, Varric was wrong that it took Hawke 2 weeks to get to Kirkwall from Gwaren. it should have taken closer to 20 days. But eh, not too big an error and 2 weeks sounds neater. Plus, we know he's an unreliable narrator.

The funny thing is, it takes nearly (edit: MORE than) 2 weeks to get across Ferelden. On horseback. Warden was walking. Warden... how far did you walk... How many miles did you cover...

Anyone feel free to spice up the map however you'd like! I hope this is helpful for anyone out there!

Ranting and raving about orientation and Gays Before Gays in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

(Some small spoilers for KCD2)

While I can't say thatmuch time browsing through hashtags, I have been exposed to many interesting conversations had about Henry & Han's sexual orientations. People dissect past interactions and npc reactions, specific wording of dialogue choices, and I've even stumbled across the one or two ol' fashioned Gay Or Bi fights (some things never change).

I want to make it clear that I don't think there is anything wrong with theorizing about fictional character's sexualities - none of what I've seen has been offensive to me in any way - but I am always surprised at how quickly these topics become the center of the conversation, even when they were technically not applicable ("homosexuality" wasn't really a concept in the 1400's).

What I am saying is that Neither Hans or Henry have to necessarily be grappling with their sexual orientations even after having sex with each other. In fact, they most likely would not be (if you take it for granted that every time they've had sex with a woman they enjoyed themselves while doing it, at least.) Even in the very emotional romance scene between the two at the end of the game, Hans takes it for granted that seducing women would still remain as a (to put it in modern terms) "couple's activity" between the two of them, as mirrored by the knightly love tale that he's telling Henry about. This is of course not to mention the wedding, or the fact that Henry can still be in a relationship with Theresa during this time. It is so interesting to see how these two men do not see their involvement as a courtship - it is something entirely different to them.

Once again, this is by no means me attempting to shut down conversations centered around sexuality - I just find myself so often pondering on what the lads' relationship would look like in the absence of such: they have no reason to feel the need to commit to each other. They don't entertain thoughts of running away together and living a happy, gay life in the middle of the woods, or would ever be under any impression that their relationship could ever be public, or much less accepted - because as far they know, it isn't "a relationship" (again, using modern terms) it's something new and undefined (to them, at least).

And this can sound very miserable and tragic - and it is in at least a few dozen different ways - but it is also such a phenomenal example of deep love and affection just... Naturally taking a shape of itself while totally unbridled by societal expectation. Hans and Henry might as well have gone the rest of their lives happily operating under the status quo - marrying women and having children and not necessarily taking issue with it - they just so happened to adore each other so damn much that they simply could not help but to express that affection in the manner in which they did. And they will probably keep doing it.

And I just think that's nice and weirdly refreshing.

[meanbossart]

Additions & clarifications:

The "non-committed" bit seems to have stood out for a lot of people. Understandably so - I'm hopelessly monogamous myself and could never entertain an open relationship of any kind, however, I do not believe that those kinds of relationship negate the love between two people. Obviously if your opinion differs, then this interpretation is completely egregious to you and discredits the profound bond between these two characters - just know that that isn't me! This relationship still deeply touches my heart even if I imagine it differently from a relationship that I could actually stand to be in.

Obviously, the lack of options that these characters have WRT living a happy life together is due to social stigma and religious oppression. In other words, homophobia. The characters themselves may not always see it as an injustice, however, and I just find that interesting to think about!

This interpretation pertains specifically to Hans & Henry, and it is not static. I actually have fairly different ideas for how other queer characters from the game who have had different life experiences/levels of maturity and introspection would deal with their own preferences.

Lastly, it's wild that anyone might feel as if this is me trying to convince you of anything, rather than me rambling pointlessly about humans in love while trying to engage with curious people who ponder about similar things!

Gonna make one hundred soups this year. Starting off with kapustnyak, carrot soup, chickpea soup, and parsnip soup.

4% complete.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

8% complete baybeee. This may end up being a long post. Hope you like the colour of the soup.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Can't stop won't stop. 15 soups so far.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Slowed down for a minute because vet bills ate up my grocery budget but made it to 20%, baybEEEE.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Whoops I slowed down but BAM, 25%. I'm gonna make a comeback baybeeEEEE.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

I AM BECOMING SO POWERFUL

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Four new BEAN BASED SOUPS, the first one trailblazing because it was a taco soup recipe courtesy of @alex-of-1000-dumbasseries. 61 IN THE BAG, 39 TO GO.

I am also linking my soup planning doc because I can, and it's easier than tagging all of them individually.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Have I lost all my followers yet? NOT YET. Time for more soups. I'm up to 70 now.

[themythicalcodfish]

OP this is a gorgeous post and I’m so proud of you

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Thank you, I will take these codfish words to my grave. Also, I have achieved 8 more, putting me at 77 soups. How is 70 plus 9 photos 77? I'm glad you asked.

Earlier, I forgot to include a photo of my cock-a-leekie-soup (#57) - pictured above as the first one of this set - and also I MADE TARATOR TWICE by accident so I've struck one from the record since I'm trying to make 100 soups here, not 99 and one twice.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

A new bowl approaches. Bought myself some soup bowls from the 70s with goofy little geese on them for my own birthday (though I did not get them in time for my miyeok-guk), because what else is free will for. This puts me at 86. I JUST MIGHT MAKE IT? SOMEHOW?

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

A COLOURFUL BATCH featuring another Certified Tumblr Soup because people kept recommending Yeto's Soup, and they were right.

How am I at 92? ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN A QUITTER.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

100/100!
