did i just queue up a whole bunch of posts from this blog to the new one hell yeah i did
wait why are you moving blogs? to escape that one anon?
man it’d be pretty silly to try to avoid a particular anon by keeping my url exactly the same as it was
nah for me it just..feels better to restart sometimes? like blogs get cluttered and disorganized and i’m too lazy to go through the process of tidying things up again so bam new blog so much easier. idk the point is it’s for my own mental health i guess

5. What is your favorite color?
i like pastels and fall colors
12. What was your last dream about?
it’s kind of hard to remember but it featured moving out of my dorm except really dark and vaguely creepy for some reason? the details are kind of a blur
the last dream i can remember really well is not being able to wake up and that was awful like i kept dreaming that i’d finally wake up but then figure out that i wasn’t actually awake and start panicking trying to wake up it was a good time
13. What talents do you have?
good question
i’m pretty good at pokemon also i’m not a terrible cook when i feel like putting in the effort
14. Are you psychic in any way?
nope but occasionally i say things like “man it would be convenient if we saw someone we knew who could drive us” and someone actually appears in the middle of wherever and drives us it’s an amusing coincidence
15. Favorite song?
rn i’m really into “say my name” by odesza (rac remix)
17. Who would be your ideal partner?
cassandra pentaghast
idk someone reliable who sees through my shit probably. i wanna be more descriptive with this but i’m terrible at talking about things relating to emotion? so someone who puts up with that also haha..
24. Baths or showers?
showers
49. Are you an innie or an outie?
innie
63. Biggest Fear?
there’s this infection or something where doctors apparently remove your eyeball to treat the infection and like hell no something like that happens to me? i’m out goodbye i have lived a full and complete life and clearly do not need to live any longer
also social crap like rejection and failure etc
71. What makes you nervous?
many things!
talking in front of people, ppl doing stupid dangerous things where they may hurt themselves, groups of white frat bros, cars suddenly slowing down when they go by
72. Are you scared of the dark?
man if i were scared of the dark i wouldn’t be able to function at home (everyone goes to bed before me so most of the house is dark) also i never could have entered the bedroom of my dorm because it was pretty dark in there and my eyes don’t adjust very quickly
99. Color of your bedspread?
it’s yellow rn! everything on my bed is so yellow. it’s almost painful.
100. Color of your room?
light blue
Van Gogh details
one thing about being consistently single is that i never have to come out to my oma
also not tagging things is so impractical i need to go back to tagging everything
i was going to reorganize my blog and then i realized i didn’t want to go through all these pages so i’m probably going to make another blog (same url) and use this one as an archive
Case in point, since we’re talking about Dragon Age Inquisition: Vivienne. She’s an awesome character in so many ways: powerful, occasionally vulnerable, subtly manipulating events to her advantage at every turn, and not at all shy about telling the player she’s doing so. But she’s also a painfully incomplete character. We meet her love interest at one point, Duke Bastien — but unlike other playable characters in the game who have lovers*, we know nothing about him beyond what Vivienne tells us (and Vivienne’s an unreliable narrator). She seems to have no friends, only allies and enemies. And what is she? Nearly everyone else in the game has an origin or a “people” — among the humans, there’s the various nationalities, and then subsets of the nationalities (e.g. the Chantry-worshippers vs the Disciples of Andraste/Havenites vs the Chasind, among the Ferelden). Vivienne has nothing. She’s a Circle Mage — but by her own admission she’s spent little time in her Circle (and her attachment is apparently to the Circle system as a whole, not any Circle in particular). She says that each Circle has its own unique customs, but which one(s) does she follow? We don’t know. She wears the trappings of Orlesian nobility but only so that she can effectively play the Game; she’s not really one of them and shows that she understands this in a variety of ways. She was born in the Free Marches but retains nothing of that identity but the accent. She’s not Rivaini — doesn’t share the physical characteristics of Isabela and Duncan, like light brown skin and straight hair, and clearly isn’t acculturated as such — but then what is her race? Does it even have a name? This is the problem: Vivienne is affiliated with many groups but few of them seem to have contributed anything to who she’s become. She’s the only playable black woman seen in the entire trilogy of games so far, and she is cultureless, rootless, and quintessentially raceless. How much better a character could Vivienne have been if, when Bull complained about the lack of horn balm, Vivienne complained back about the difficulty of finding a hairdresser in Val Royeaux who had the skill to handle her kinky hair when it’s grown out (which might explain why she wears it now in such a short, if high-maintenance, style; good grief, the poor woman must have to shave and edge every day)? What if, when Sera complains about raisin cookies, Vivienne sends her a box of some [whatever her people are called] confection that only Vivienne, out of all Skyhold, knows how to make? What if Vivienne spoke of her family, as several of the other playable characters do — if not the people who birthed her, then the family she forged within one of the Circles she lived in? Apparently at some point in the game, some of the Orlesian nobles make disparaging comments about her skin color and how she must “disappear in the dark”; what if we knew that she laughed at this because where she came from, her particular shade of blackness was prized? How much more resonant a character might she have been if she had a complete history, a unique accent and cultural trappings, and some reason for trying to gain power other than “because she wants to”? How much more interesting are those DA characters for whom we do have this level of completeness?
