So I’m guessing that as far as the Loki fandom goes, I’m pretty much the last person to the Eidolon party (by @llanval), but oh my god, guys. The idea of ‘what if Loki grew up as Laufey’s son’ is amazing enough, but the scope is epic, in the most genuine sense of the word, and this is the most incredibly mythic writing I’ve ever read. It is so, so soothing and wonderful, and anybody who hasn’t read it yet should check it out and love these characters (especially Helblindi and Arngrimr) with me.

I just saw the vid for cc and I'm disappointed too. It hardly seems like a step up from Inquisition and that's kinda frustrating. I wish you luck on your PC hunting, if that's the route you choose. I have a bad feeling ME:A is going to disappoint some folks. :'(

Thank you, but I will definitely buy a PS4 since I also want to play Horizon: Zero Dawn, which is an exclusive title. Besides, my sister’s dad said that I can borrow from his rather extensive PS4 game collection whenever I want, so I’ll save a ton of money. But man, I’ll still be salty about ME:A’s CC for ages, even if the game turns out to be overall good (which I really hope but also kinda doubt because Bioware).

@llanval said: I totally get that. Is it to move in a new direction? Or just put some space between you and a writing style (or fandom) you no longer enjoy? 

It’s kinda both tying in with each other? Like, I want to explore a more character-driven narrative with more attention to detail. My previous way of telling stories was okay, but lacked the depth of my original stuff, especially due to my tendency to stick to the canon in all the wrong aspects, and it’s annoying me to no end retrospectively. 

I also want to focus on building up my own canon-verse more. So far, I’ve only strewn hints about it, which bogged my stories down instead of enhancing them while also dragging them down to average level at the same time, so they kinda drowned in the endless ocean that is AO3. Or, plainly put, my stuff doesn’t really hit a nerve in fandom because I didn’t manage to blend the official canon with my headcanons smoothly enough for my stories to be enjoyable.

llanval replied to your post “*watching documentary* *documentary implies paedophilia is a sexual...”

WTF? What kind of documentary could possibly?? What?

It was a documentary about the paedophilia cases in the UK, historic abuse in the Catholic Church, Operation Yewtree, and others like it. Not the nicest of topics, but I wasn’t expecting one of the “experts” to try to identify paedophilia as a sexual orientation that should be recognised

llanval said: See, other than you and two other blogs, I have almost no Dragon Age content on my blog, lol. So you’re pretty much my only source of DA stuff at the moment. ^_^;

Wow. Now I feel flattered. Thank you for bearing with salty ol’ potato me <3

How could I ever stop following one of my most favourite people ever? *hugs* Also, RL friends are completely excepted from any unfollowing spree, regardless of how much we talk on here or if any original content is posted. (And hey, we talk quite a lot on here, so you were literally never in any danger.)

llanval said: I totally get that need. The Rogue One trailer dropped and I am literally drowning in Star Wars. Not that I’m complaining, but yeah. Your dash is your garden and you should do what makes you happy.

I have Rogue One blacklisted so that I don’t need to unfollow like, half of my favourite blogs because of it :D I talk mainly about Dragon Age stuff. I currently have the same reblogged art/writing a dozen times over on my dash, and no matter how good the stuff is, at some point you literally can’t stand to see it anymore. It’s like a favourite song that got played a tad too much on the radio.

Slow progress, but getting there.

llanval said: I think that trend it pretty standard in most fandoms. It take much less effort and time to read glorious porn than to think about and review long fic. I completely understand why.you find that depressing. It’s tough to put effort in for no response.

Seems like I am of a rare kind in fandom then, because I enjoy long and multi-chaptered fics so much more than porn. I like to get invested in the characters. Most porn sadly doesn’t provide that oppurtunity, so I rarely read it, let alone write it myself. It’s depressing to see that most people appreciate porn so much more than the gripping narrative of a good story. I know I should not worry too much about it, because that’s the way fandom and, in a larger scope, our western society is, but it still gnaws at me every time I get another mail telling me that “Sacrilege” got yet another kudos. :/
