for real DA2 helped me soo much. just that fiction that helps you confront things about yourself and come to terms with other things, and makes you feel so at home whenever you revisit it even through fanfic or art or w/e.
tbh !!!!!! i love da2 and games in general so much ahh thank you <3333
i wouldn’t have gotten back in touch with any of the things i was passionate about if i hadn’t gotten into video games. i wouldn’t have started writing again, or reading. i wouldn’t have made friends like i have now. i am in a constant state of self loathe but it’s so much easier to handle now that i have something in which to put myself, now that i have something i can be passionate about.
and how is passion a bad thing? if the things i create make people smile or laugh or it spurs them to write as well - or draw, or make fanmixes, whatever - how is that a bad thing? if the things they make make other people happy, and those people go on to make other things, how is that a bad thing? people want to cry about it - ‘you’re doing too much, calm down, go outside, get a real life!!!’ except without people getting overpassionate with art, with writing, with film or music or games, you wouldn’t have a lot of the things you like.
that’s why i always feel gross when people roll their eyes and go ‘gosh, go outside’ am i annoying? i’m sorry about it, i am. but i’m not just going to stop liking these things. they make me happy, they make me feel good. just because these things aren’t important to you doesn’t make them any less important at all.
