probably like me when you sent me that screenshot: "wtf" and "i hate this"

Honestly I’ll just let this image’s source comments speak for itself.

[Fate and Entropy] Tell me more about this one!

@juliannos

*tries to scramble to see if I still have my notes for this one*

*brushes dust off my shirt* Sorry this might be disjointed and rambly. 

OK SO

This one’s a couple years old now and it’s been sitting on the shelf for most of that time but I’m just... very attached to this and am reluctant to say I’m shelving this permanently. I don’t hang out with the folks I did while I was planning this all out but it’s... very emblematic of a time where I was starting trying to find a good place to be and people to be with and recover after I got away from my ex-boyfriend. 

To be honest there’s still a lot of in between gaps that need to be filled out, but all the major plot points are there. My major additions, revisions, and expansions of the canon narrative are there. It’s just a matter of getting into the finer chapter by chapter stuff and actually writing it out. 

But basically it starts with 25 year old me (because I was 25 when I started writing it) with a slightly altered backstory but otherwise just. Me. As is. no frills. And getting sucked into the world of FFXV several months before the start of the game (so she’s 35 by the end of the story after the 10 year timeskip happens, although that period of time is explored in more detail in this fic or that was the plan). Although unlike other fanfics with this trope commonly do, I decided it was basically a cosmic freak accident. But the process of going between dimensions messes with Joey’s memory and she has amnesia in regards to FFXV for the first act of the story- she doesn’t remember that Eos or the people she meets are all part of a video game she played, yet she can’t shake the feeling it all seems familiar. And through a series of events, she befriends Noctis and co and becomes part of the group to escort Noctis to Altissia. And learning of the attack on Insomnia and learning that someone she befriended when she arrived and grew very close to (Nyx Ulric) died it triggered all those memories to come flooding back and she decided she wasn’t going to just let everything happen the same way and let folks die. 

But the Astrals get wind of this and basically put a magical gag order on her. She is allowed to try to take actions to change things as long as it doesn’t interfere with their prophecy about the Chosen King AND she doesn’t tell anyone she knows what’s going to happen. So she basically goes around like “fuck I know what’s going to happen but I can’t SAY anything”. 

Now, she saves Lunafreya in Altissia and some other folks, but one of Joey’s big arcs if figuring out how to convince Astrals to let Noctis live/find a way to fulfill the prophecy without his permanent death. And I did have a plan for that and remember the general gist of it, but again it’s a matter of trying to recall the little details. 

I also remember that Joey’s mere presence does change some things in a big way- I had a scene plan where Regis notices the painting of the Prophecy is different and includes someone it didn’t before (and only he and maybe other members of the the Lucis royal line would be able to recognize the painting wasn’t always like that - so basically Regis, Ardyn, and Noctis). Basically either reality trying to accommodate to weave Joey into its fabric or the astrals essentially trying to minimize her impact by retroactively writing her into the prophecy or something like that. 

It’s not all serious though, I had some lighthearted stuff planned for the story too. Just... man I wish I could get hyperfixated with FFXV again so maybe I’d have some more motivation to start working on it again.

Dwarves are tragically underrepresented in this fandom, and people always go “I want a dwarf romance in DA4!” but did you know there’s a hidden dwarf romance option in DA:O and DA:I?

When you start a new game, you hit the right button a few times and keep going until you hit the “Aeducan” or “Brosca” options or the “Cadash” option if you’re playing Inquisition, you hit confirm, and then once you’ve recruited your favourite romanceable companion you flirt with them.

Aksljdfs ok this was unnecessarily snarky, especially as I am also someone who wants a romanceable dwarf companion, but what I’m trying to say is I wish dwarves were better represented in the fandom. Lots of people like them but there’s never much content for them, and you’re honestly missing out. There’s some fun dynamics and perspectives they bring to romances and companions. An Aeducan has a better perspective of what it’s like to be in line for the throne than anyone when it comes to the politicking towards the end of DA:O, like the qunari dwarves are also born into their role, they’re not 1:1 comparisons but I felt my Aeducan understood Sten better than my Cousland, and like Blackwall, Cadash themself was a criminal who has been given new purpose with the Inquisition. These are just a couple of the fun character building moments you, too, could have if you played a dwarf! It also makes Returning to Orzammar later in Origins as a dwarf super fun and idk maybe that’s the reason I’ve never felt “ugh” about that section of DA:O, in fact it’s my favourite.

juliannos replied to your post :Oh man I didn’t notice before but the bounty...

I think that there are a few different people looking for the baby actually! My current theory is that Gideon has a few different imperial loyalist searching for him at the beginning to improve his chances.

oh yeah that makes a lot of sense! (and oh boi that’s a lot of tracking fobs all around haha, basically that whole bar on nevarro AND more) it also makes it quite confusing/intriguing because pershing and the client seem to want two different things -- are they working for the same person? the client seems to report to gideon at least, but might gideon also be working with someone on his own level so to speak? is the client purposefully trying to sabotage gideon for whatever reason, political or personal? I mean it wouldn’t be the first time the Empire reveals itself to be a bunch of backstabbing snakes even among themselves lol, gideon clearly has no compunctions about getting rid of the client. pershing tells the client that ‘he’ definitely wanted the kid alive when mando overhears them in ep 3, but then he’s also shown to not be a complete monster and wanting to protect the baby so for all we know he may be lying in service of that goal. “he’d be dead if it weren’t for me”. it could be so many things and poor mando is probably going to have to try to figure it out at some point (I get the feeling pershing is going to come back)

ETA: also the client does ask pershing to take tissue samples or whatever so I guess the implicit meaning of ‘proof of termination’ is uh. at least a body part. oh dear I hope mando gets to shoot every last one of them
