nett….. do u have any rook concepts…… for which world states…. (ok if not but i am going bonkers yonkers over little guys we don’t even have yet)

hiii auden🥰 i have some ideas about my rook yes!! i only have the one world state so they would have to fit in perfectly ajsjsjsjsjsj

i'm planning for my rook to be an elf, bc if we're dealing with elven gods i need to get maximum lore and i need rook to be like that one leonardo dicaprio meme like OH SHIT!!!

and i've been eyeing the mourn watch ngl, both bc it sounds cool as shit and has a potential to be angsty too😌 like, solas invented people dying, he's trying to undo that and my rook is just chilling surrounded by reanimated corpses like hi🥰👋 (with the corpses having little lipstick marks on their heads lmao)

i also want my rook to be like. hyperactive. bc i usually go for stoic love interests and i love opposites attract a little too much lol

I never like to speculate on what writers have experienced in their personal lives or not,but it's so clear that Sera has no idea on how to write a bad parental relationship. Like,as a survivor of child abuse, I (and just anyone) can tell you that child neglect is CHILD ABUSE and in no point of the series this is mentioned because the narrative clearly pushes the forgiveness narrative onto you and even guilt trips you constantly for not wanting to forgive Rebecca. She constantly ignores the detectives wishes of not wanting to do anything to do with her outside of work (even when she says she understands). Something someone else brought up on a post a couple months ago that I found very interesting is that when she visits you at the beginning of book three,she does it at the detectives workplace,the one place that we cannot leave if we don't want to talk to her,she basically corners you into having a conversation with her. And her actions in book one about keeping Murphy's identity from the detective and essentially getting two people killed (one of them being a teenager) are never brought up again.

i haven't even thought about rebecca coming to the detective's workplace holy shit

also, she might be thinking that the detective appearing in her life is a sign that they actually will have a relationship and then tries to force the mc to talk to her and sg but????? the book's literally an interactive fiction where we are supposed to make choices that alter the story and give flavour to it???? so why can't we actually do that with her??? when she's forcibly such a big part of the book??

but yeah in general, i just appreciate that we at least get to talk about her critically here, if not in the actual books themselves, because she does deserve to be criticised

[ambrosykim]

be less annoying and rude in the tags please

you wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid

[ambrosykim]

to add onto your post about the rebecca/douglas/bobby thing: am i missing something? why would the chamber allow MC to decide if bobby keeps their memories or not? bobby is an opportunistic (and now traumatized) reporter who deadass in most routes SAYS they're going to be exposing the supernatural to the rest of the world asap. i understand the chamber not wanting to upset MC, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to not be more concerned about bobby's pull with the town??? and we also don't hear more from others about what their opinion is?? idgi

LMAO LITERALLY. i really don't like that it was basically swept under the rug with bobby saying nobody would believe them and would think they're crazy like??? okay??? it's just sooooo wild that it would literally be up to mc, who can also be bobby's ex and possibly hate their guts??? and ur right, bobby really has an important voice in town (which tbf is like,, 1500 people lol) but that would still be a lot of people to find out about the supernatural if bobby actually decided to expose the supernatural??? i also dont get it anon lmao

There's a scene in book two where Rebecca is saying the detective should talk to the maaluse and if you pick the choice to point out that they're not a diplomat, Rebecca straight up says that it doesn't matter since you're part of Unit Bravo and you have to do whatever the mission needs. And I never forgot that, thanks mum for ignoring my input and my skills lmao

tbf sooo much of the book doesn't make sense bc your detective can be rude as hell and you can pick all the worst answers and they still get picked to do diplomatic shit??? (and get promoted to agent??)

so thank you rebecca for caring this much about your child 🙏 and ignoring them not only in childhood but when ur actally are working with them 🙏 (as their superior btw. so. also yikes.)
