annnnd how do you get over the fact that anders approves of selling fenris back into slavery? because if you think "oh that's just the writers doing a bad job" then you have not been paying enough attention to anders' personality change from dao:a to da2. fenders is pretty damn abusive, tbh.

Is…this even warrant of a response? Cuz idek where to start. 

But corrections-that-I-won’t-get-into-aside(cuz I know no one’s gonna read my paragraphs), if anyone think Fenders fans ships Fenders as it-is, you’re fighting a losing battle cuz literally none of us do.

SORRY I’M SLOW!

SEND ME A SHIP AND I WILL GRADE IT:

A+: OTPA: I love itB: It’s really cute (I guess a B+ if I can add the + in.)C: Not a bad shipD: I’m neutral on itE: I don’t really like itF: NOTPN/A: I don’t know the ship well enough

It’s honestly hard to NOT ship it. The entire series is as it is BECAUSE of their relationship. I do ship other things, mostly in the sense I feel Naruto is a better fit for/better developed with other characters; while Sasuke is not my favorite character at all(but I low-key ship him with one other person too). 

But even with all that, I’m not gonna pretend the entire series might as well be a shojo manga featuring these two. They are definitely the most developed ship of the series and I’ve, of course, seen some very cute stuff with them~

I have never played Dragon Age please tell me all the reasons why I should

I feel flattered someone trusts me with this question! D: But also happy. Thank you!~

RPG/Dating Simulator: Like any gamer, there are still preferences to what you like. If you like RPGs (even if it’s just JRPGs), Fantasy, or even just a dating sim. I would put Dragon Age under these categories. I know it sounds like I’m joking on the dating sim thing but…for reals, I legitimately fell in love with at least one of them. Unlike other dating sims, your life is probably under constant threat but you get to fight back at least! (see below for additional things related to this)

Story/Characters: note that all the games are connected and it’s pretty cool to play them in order. The first game is a nice hero fantasy, where you are put into a position to literally try and save the world. Game 2 is about your building a new family that you lose while unknowingly getting involved in world-changing event. Game 3 is surprisingly a bit harder for me to describe but if anything: it gives you both magical and political power. It may feel like none of your choices really matter in some areas, but I like having a CHOICE in what I do anyway. 

Characters are fantastic. Obviously, I don’t love every single person but I do love most of them. Even if you don’t learn about every single characters in depth, there is still a story to them. Their story and personal motivation exists whether or not you wish to acknowledge or investigate it. That’s pretty cool. 

Progressiveness: I’ll give credit where it’s due as Dragon Age is one of few titles I know of, and own, where there are people of color, competent women, and canon LGBT+ characters that you can actually GET with (and yes, there are multiple of what I just listed so they aren’t tokens). Are there problems? of hells yeah there is. There are plenty of instances of sexism, racism, homophobia, and ableism in the series. But again, considering the LACK of everything I just listed, Dragon Age is a breath of fresh air. Hell, game 2 is pretty much the most realistic depictions of LGBT+ I’ve ever seen considering at least half your party is bisexual (cuz you know, we sorta just flock together at some point. people apparently don’t believe this but we do). Obviously, I do not, and will not, excuse all the bad parts in it and neither should you. It’s still pretty nice and good, but defending the bad parts is preventing Dragon Age from becoming something great. 

In addition, someone (definitely not everyone) on the Dragon Age Bioware team understands systematic oppression in the series as Dragon Age DOES have it. It’s both infuriating and kinda cool to to see ignorance almost mirrored exactly with real life. But along with that you also get to meet other characters who GET you. I know that sounds silly, but I’m getting validated okay. So it’s super relatable just by that alone. “The oppressors are assholes” “Oh hells yeah they are!” that sort of thing. As stated before, clearly, not everyone on the writing team understands this because they’ve repeatedly try to make the oppressed and oppressors on equal playing field. It’s not, and never will be. Game 3 seriously tried framing a literal revolution as a ‘war.’ Don’t believe them! Of course the oppressors of all people want to call it a ‘war,’ it’s NOT! 

I’ll leave it at that for now. Feel free to ask me anything else if you want clarifications or detailed answers on something specific!

What do you like most about your favorite ship?

REBLOG IF YOU WANT YOUR FOLLOWERS TO ASK YOU ANYTHING THEY’RE CURIOUS ABOUT.

Thank you! I love talking about ships!!!!

Well…I guess my current favorite ship is Fenders (Fenris/Anders) from Dragon Age. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but def in the Top 5 as of now.

I think my favorite thing about them is how perfect they really are for each other (like, let’s put aside how the canon treats them. I think we all universally agree the game literally doesn’t know what they’re doing with Anders let along Anders AND Fenris). 

Even for another ship I like (Merribela) I can’t describe or talk about it like I can with Fenders. Like I think Merribela works great together but Fenders is still more than just working great with each other. They got things in common (which in Dragon Age, finding that between lovers is a like a wild concept), have a similar type of humor, more or less on the same fucking page on issues, can understand each other more than anyone else in the game, and were probably literally made for each other (for the rival concept in the game. it just backfired completely). 

I know saying my favorite thing about them is that “they’re perfect for each other” is kinda vague at best but it’s basically me saying I like everything about them that makes their relationship. All the things, both big and small, put together is what makes them so good together. 

I’m obviously super against what the canon did (I keep ranting about the wasted opportunity). The only GOOD thing they did was the set up for these two. The canon set up these two so damn perfectly that it was enough for a perfect pair to be made. If they didn’t want to go through with it, fine. It’s their own loss for not going through with a huge wasted opportunity on both character and relationship development.

Klavier Gavin, Henry from FE:A, Anders, Izaya, Zidane Tribal, Yoosung <3

Send 6 Characters/People and I’ll Tell You Who I Would:

HEY! AT LEAST GIVE ME CHARACTERS TO HATE SO IT’S EASIER TO DO! >:U

do the sexy love™ with: ……yeah still Anders. 

sacrifice myself for: -looks at my husband tier list- @beammetothemoon is this you? 5/6 people are on my husband list and i fell you’re the only one that knows most of them. Anyone, I can’t answer this going down the husband tier so I had to answer everything, come back, and make adjustments. Answer for this is Yoosung cuz he’s too good for this world. 

kick: Izaya. I love him but he probably deserves at least one kick from me.

take to prom: Klavier. Celebrity hot date and all. High schooler dream. 

abandon in jurassic park: Henry cuz I know he’ll be fine and he’d be all over this shit (probs not in the way most people imagine but definitely will change Jurassic Park for the worse)

push off a bridge: I only left Zidane here b/c he’s probably the only one capable of surviving this and I didn’t wanna kill anyone. It’s also possible that he dared me to do it too.

Silly putty is also a must have toy. You need it to stop your block towers from falling down

Good to know. D: 

Though if they don’t fall down, I’ll just have a bunch of block towers

So, replacing my car would cost me around $80. It was a limited special release apparently (who would've thought?) However getting a similar car with a slightly different color pattern is $3 so that's probably what i'll end up getting. Goodbye favorite car, thank god you didn't fuck up the houses plumbing.

Yeah I was gonna say. that’s an expensive toy car. 

Maybe one day, you’ll get the car you want again ; ~;

I’m sorry for your loss.

So, what's your oppinion on marbles?

They’re pretty damn cool. 

Every time I purge my room (which is basically me taking a long time to clean it) I come across my marbles. I never have the heart in me to toss them. 

I used to collect them I think but my collection is mostly missing save for the 2 bags I have. 

But sadly idk what I can do with them :\ 

No one around me really plays marbles, or own any really lol! 

long story short, i guess they’re cool. That, or I’m just old.
