as someone who constantly struggles with very low empathy and sympathy, which extends to maternal instincts and just affection with family members in general, carolyn's monologue to geraldine about not understanding her and having to lie about how she feels is so fucking validating bc i too am sick of people thinking I'm a bad person just bc i don't have certain capacities

[bi-bladesmith]

yknow what man I honestly don't fucking care if loads of people hated the ending or this whole season, it's just nice for once to actually see people just,,, be happy? like, this is a fucking kid-friendly show that exposed very dark themes in an grounded, accessible way that didn't dumb itself down and Earned its relationships

they didn't give us a token gay couple only to kill them, all the couples are examples of actually healthy, communicative and emotionally rewarding which after all the "my bitch wife" shite that goes around, is Just,,,, its a show that knew what it was, and anything the writers didn't achieve well, go read some fics if it bugs you so much but don't for one second discount the stunning work of the crew, especially the voice actors and animators for this season bc it is a god damn love letter of a show

pre-dragonborn dlc hcs;

Absorbing a dragon soul often leaves ada in pain for the following days, her chest constricting and her jaw turning stiff

her physiology very slightly changes too, from the inside out

first, it's very minor, with her bones themselves growing denser, then the nerves in her back growing sensitive to the point where she never removes her cloak, for she can feel every slight shift in the air against the back of her skin, and her hair brushing against it itches like a million tiny chaurus scuttling over her

then it's her blood - auri notices it first, when she frees serana, a distinct smear of near translucent blue against the dead stone

she would have brought it up sooner but she didn't want to stress ada out more than she was with the whole insane vampire tyrant thing

while she's not out here sprouting scales, some patches of her skin, namely on her chest and lower back, start turning thick and leathery, eventually growing deathly pale and almost stony to the touch

when her and the gang make camp for the night, she begins sleepwalking if there's a nearby dragon nest or burial ground that she's cleared out and she'll just... stand there, watching everything in her eyeline

the gang are able to pass it off as stress and tricks of the eye, but it only gets worse after miraak's cultists land on skyrims shore

they attack her outside the college, when she's about to head in for the day

the only person who really sees it go down is faralda, since she's the one who runs down to try help ada, but ends up being the one who has to drag ada off of them, their bodies still twitching under layers of ice encasing them, their limbs breaking apart into stained shards under ada's bare hands

the whole thing really shakes both of them up, and despite agreeing to keep it quiet, faralda does advise tolfdir to keep an eye on ada, since she practices her thu'um on the roof of the college between lectures

it all comes to head when tolfdir finds her up there curled up in pain

the inside of her mouth was scalded and burnt, her sword arm broken via elemental fury and the muscles in her other arm pulled to shit after having to brace herself against one of the walkway arches after her whirlwind sprint went further than she expected

eventually she passes out from the pain and wakes up a week later to inigo and lucien carrying her up the 7000 steps before handing her over to the greybeards to take her to paarthurnax

she's at the throat of the world for at least 4 months just recovering from her injuries, and then a further 2 months studying with paarthurnax

before she leaves for solstheim, she leaves lucien behind to look after her family, in case those cultists try anything while she's busy hunting miraak

yall I'm literally in Tears over the news about the remaster,,, mass effect is one of the only game series where I've played every single entry and while it has its issues,,, like,,,, really has its issues, it played such a huge part in how I developed

when I was off school for almost an entire year due to a nervous break, I would just play me1 bc it was one of the only games I owned at the time other than ac brotherhood, and it just gave me such a good outlet and? the fact that shep is just kind of a blank slate outside of the moral scale and plot leaves room for so much projection,, genuinely and I'm not shitting yall, projecting onto shep was one of the only ways I could feel validated and even loved at the time bc I would lash out to anyone who tried to tell me that shit in person,,,

honestly just the fact that they're revisiting something that fundamentally allowed me to grow up and adapt to the symptoms of my autism + depression makes me unimaginably happy
