Tumblr mutuals is just staring at each other longily wondering if they would return the Tome of Koslun to the arishok if you asked

Hey all!!

I'm hoping to one day return but if you like dragon age and want somewhere to rp/talk art/talk da I'm a mod on a server here: https://discord.gg/DmacTknz

It's primarily RP focused but we have a few different artists who hang and we do some general da talk as well!

Truly I cannot wait until the Dreadwolf companions start being announced. I was there for the Inquisition reveals. The whole step of the way. People unhinge the MOMENT they see them and make wildly inaccurate assumptions about their personalities

People were convinced Blackwall would sound like Brynjolf Skyrim and call you “lass”. People thought Solas was at the absolute WORST an agent of Fen’Harel. Everyone was so convinced Varric would be romancable at least a third of the fandom was already considering him their Inquisitor’s canon LI. It was absolute chaos. I cannot wait to see it again

I don’t know how else to explain it. If someone says something to me that initially hits as horribly transphobic, I’m going to be hurt. However, if, after I confront them about it, they go “Oh no! Jesus no, that’s nowhere near what I intended to say, I mean X” - well, I now feel a hell of a lot better. I like knowing people aren’t actually trying to hurt me.

So yeah - knowing someone’s intent can drastically alter the impact, especially if the impact was negative. It can literally fix a horrible case of miscommunication that could’ve resulted in a permanent rift in a friendship.

But I’ve been in communities where trying to have the second half of that conversation is “abuse” and “invalidating their pain”.

No! It’s actually a really fucking important part of communication! And to silence that second half of the interaction results in no one learning anything, no one healing, and everyone remaining hurt.

Person 1 remains offended, thinking their friend meant to say something transphobic. Person 2 remains hurt because now everyone thinks they’re transphobic.

The pain of being misinterpreted is not and should not be dismissed, and fuck anyone who tries to do so to me in the future.

Another two-things-are-true situation.

accidentally saying something that comes across as hurtful is still hurting someone, even if you didn’t mean to, and you likely still owe an apology for that hurt and not just an explanation, AND

people deserve the opportunity to correct themselves when their intention comes across wrong, and making that correction can be an important part of the amends process for having spoken insensitively and caused unintended hurt.

“We had one window in the Ostwick Circle. Stained glass portrait of Andraste in the chapel. So you couldn’t see through it. A bird broke through one of the panels, so there was this one abstract fragment of sky you could see.” She’d gone in the evening before bedcall.  A slice of the harvest moon visible between the melted lead outlines. The memory was one she saw in third person. A thin woman with her hands clasped, and only recognizable as herself by the messy bun and as freckles as numerous as flowers in a wild field. “They boarded up that window. Rather then let us have that tiny piece of sky.”
