Verse 3 is too much for me. You know Kendrick raps like he’s writing a persuasive narrative. He always has an intro- an attention grabber. A middle- Makes valid points. And verse three is always an extension of verse 2- takes a clever point and expands on it so fucking well. Ties it all together to conclude with and solidify the point he’s trying to make. I always feel like I’ve listened to a completely formed meticulously put together message under the guise of a musical prose. I have so much love and respect for this man it’s crazy. This isn’t even my favorite song by him but shit his wisdom and passion is just something I can’t help but be in awe of.

I have seen a lot of posts on here about how we should celebrate brown eyes.

I agree with this wholeheartedly and in my teens I used to wish and pray to have brown eyes. My husband has light brown eyes which I adore.

But what I do not agree with is that they should be elevated by degradation of other eye colours.

 I've seen many posts criticising rare eye colours in ocs as unimaginative or cliche. Or just being down right mean about rarer "pretentious" eye colours.

Instead we should demand a shift to:

All eye colours are unique and beautiful.

Easy for me to say, right? With me and my ocs bright blue eyes which are considered rare and pretty in many societies.

 Yet I was bullied at school for my eye colour/complexion (which I've now discovered many deem as 'snow white' one). I was called a witch, a freak, and nicknamed 'the exorcist girl' for many years. So do not assume that people with 'rare' eye colours feel theirs are beautiful or superior.

No one should be made to feel ashamed or picked on about the colour of their eyes, their skin, hair, complexion or any part of their body. Not when each of us are uniquely beautiful and captivating pieces of art.

Thanks.

I have installed the Raised Vallaslin complexion mod from Nexxus but it doesn't show up. Do I need to change complexions until the raised bit shows? I guess I don't understand the instructions

Yeah, you have to adjust the complexion slider until you find the complexion. IIRC it’ll be complexion no 3 to make it truly unique to the inquisitor, but it could be a different one. Just slide till you see it.

hi! how would i create an original face texture for dao and da2, or even just modify an existing texture? i've ... never modded anything before, so i apologise for the foolish question. thanks!

Hi, one of our mods gave a fairly detailed explanation of the process already, you can find it here :) it’s technically for DA2 but face textures for DAO and DA2 work in pretty much the same way, so you should be able to follow the instructions whichever game you want to try first~

Basically, what you’ll need is a) a digital art program of some sort, GIMP being a good, free example b) pyGFF editor for extracting game files (be sure to grab the fnvdump-20110527.zipadditional download if you want to mod DA2) c) a lot of stubborness :’)

If you have additional questions feel free to hit me up @danceoffools or ask more questions here.
