@shoopzig replied to your post “it’s too soon to say I love you!!” chill out. do you love your best...”

not to say that friends are lesser relationships than romantic ones, just that most people in romantic relationships tend to see 'i love you' as more binding, i guess? that's been my experience! obvs i mean the same thing to my friends, like, we're in this together for the forseeable future. idk if this makes sense lol

in my experience the reason why its such a big deal is bc it marks a shift from dating casually (i want to see this person a lot, and kiss, etc) to something more serious (for the forseeable future we are in this together, possibly for years). basically its a bit like a commitment, same way some people get antsy about going from 'we're seeing each other' to 'we're boyfriend/girlfriend'. i agree, i say i love you to friends all the time! but its a lil diff context wise.

I understand that it means something different but I don’t see why it HAS to, that’s my point... why can’t you just say I love you and mean it in a non-romantic sense? why does it have to signify this big jump in seriousness? why does there have to be this distinction??

and I’m saying this from a context where the person in question is NOT looking the other person in the eye and saying very seriously “I LOVE YOU.”

I’m talking about scenes in fiction where t he person just says it casually, they’re talking and they’ll laugh and say “I love you.” and then the other FREAKS OUT which is completely unnecessary. if it were the serious, look you in the eye, confession situation I would understand, but it’s not.

the problem with so much dragon age designs is it looks cute if it didnt have horrible textures and wasnt modelled horribly. see: mage clothes

Unfortunately cute and good are in this case also mutually exclusive like. The worldbuilding in general for the whole franchise is pretty terrible? (I’m told the various books and whatever help make it work, but as I haven’t read them and am unlikely to they have nothing to do with my opinion. The worldbuilding should be cohesive within the game itself) but I don’t think there’s a single piece of actual sensible/clearly integrated clothing anywhere in the first two games? You get a little bit of sensible armor in the third, but none of that clicks either. It’s Obsidian’s underwear problem times twelve, without the otherwise fabulous worldbuilding to shore it up.

And I mean I know a lot of it is expense, they just can’t afford, time-wise, labor-wise, heck even byte-wise, to put more than three reskinned models in there for NPCs clothing, but given none of those three garments have anything in common beyond base model, and have no logical ties to their environments, it’s just sort of terrible.

And i could probably headcanon the whole thing into submission, like, oh, the mage robes are actually uniforms, they match the templars, you can tell what circle a mage belongs to and what rank they hold by various things, etc etc, but it’s just ????? why are all these women wearing the same exact low cut and impractical dress in a. the snow, b. the hinterlands, c. that one part of Val Royeaux, d. Skyhold, e. the Free Marches? You’d freeze to death in two of those locations, and probably boil to death in the third. Where are your pockets? How the hell are your boobs staying up? Why does a major port city have fashion that boring? Why doesn’t it match? Why does it match? We should be seeing foreign fashions, with details that trickle all the way down to darktown because that’s how that works.

Why doesn’t the armor reflect the fashion? Why doesn’t the fashion reflect the armor? They’re built from the same patternbooks, it’s a thing. Why is a supposedly matriarchal society so.... dominated by dudes? WHY IS THE WORLDBUILDING SO INCONSISTENT??????????

Tbh now I have the opposite problem, because I’ll read something like “Victorian people used to eat mummies” and be like we fuckin wot mate

TO BE FAIR we should be alarmed either way with that one (but yes I get you haha)

@shoopzig replied to your post: smh I’ve gotten nowhere… if anyone actually makes...

honestly i listen to a bunch of specific character fsts on 8tracks and steal songs that i think are appropriate

ahaha that is fair.. my problem is that I find songs that are GREAT for... someone's playlist. like it's definitely a good character focused song. just not any of THESE characters. (starlight by muse is an example of this)

@shoopzig replied to your post “@shoopzig replied to your post: ...”

true! i just know that if i put something on someone's bed/pillow they usually notice lol. a horse head sends a Statement

maybe I’ll try horse head if just the rolls by themselves doesn’t work.
