every victory speech is like “to those that did not vote for me just know i will work with you”

nah dawg, we are running lib shit like it’s the four verts offense. gays everywhere. trans folks on every high school field hockey team. get on board or get smoked 42-0 at halftime.

In case you forgot who the person is that people are trying to make a martyr

Last night was one of the best wrestling moments I've ever seen. One of those moments I will remember forever

I’m on vacation but logged back on just to say John Cena heel turn holy shit

Look at this bullshit. Only on specific videos that ✨they✨ don’t want to be spread around do they limit sharing to “one chat at a time.” This video lists companies that don’t support DEIA practices or BIPOC community, & that we shouldn’t spend our money there. TikTok thinks that’s “harmful content.”

I’m tired of living in unprecedented times.

Alright the Born Again trailer was exactly what it needed to be to hook me back in, the Netflix daredevil was always A tier for me and I hope Disney can find that magic again

CHARACTERS - Day Nine: Cassandra

This is the last of the (major) characters I wrote during my time on Dragon Age. I could go into others, and considered moving onto Stray Gods... but I feel like fewer would be interested, and I honestly can't keep up the pace. So let's make this the last, for now.

CHARACTERS - Day Eight: Dorian

Now this is a fun one. It's no big secret I have a lot of feelings about Dorian, not least of which because he was my first (and only) gay male companion. There's a lot more to him than that, of course (as there should be), and it was quite a trip. So let's go!

CHARACTERS - Day Seven: Shale

Oops! I realized I'd moved on from DAO but missed one of the companions I'd written. Which checks out, honestly, because I almost didn't write Shale and, even after I'd written her, she almost didn't happen anyhow. Then she did. Prepare yourself for... PIGEON QUEST. 🦤

CHARACTERS - DAY SIX: Fenris

Now, DA2 is a story all on its own but I'm not going to go there other than to sum it up as "we had just over a year and a half to make this". It's why I only wrote one follower, Fenris, and although it'll make his fans mad: I probably shouldn't have.

Let me explain.

Wicked was.... The greatest movie musical ever. Truly incredible because I expected it to suck. I've never gone from ambivalent to wowed about an actor in one movie as much as I was by Ariana Grande, she fucking killed it.

CHARACTERS - DAY FIVE: Zevran

I was going to skip over Zevran, honestly, as I felt like I didn't have a lot to tell in the way of stories about him... but I know he still has some (ardent) fans. Plus, on reflection, I thought maybe I DO have a few things to say. 😅

Sooo we'll see how this goes.

CHARACTERS - DAY FOUR: Alistair

Ah, Alistair. Depending on who you ask, he's the adorable woobie with the biggest heart or the irritating, over-used man-child. Yes, he is indeed all of those things. Good characters have flaws to go with their virtues. Ugly spots. That is literally their humanity.

CHARACTERS - DAY THREE: Flemeth

I have a type. I admit it. There are certain wells I can return to repeatedly and always find something new to explore.

One of them is older female characters. Mike used to rib me about it. Consider Wynne. Meredith. Genevieve. And, of course, the biggie: Flemeth.

CHARACTERS - DAY TWO: Kieran

(Technically this is an addendum to yesterday, but I make the rules here so nyah!)

Heading into DAI, I had a bite-sized problem on my hands. I knew Morrigan would feature. I also knew we were importing previous choices. So now I had to contend with: the Old God Baby. 🧵

CHARACTERS - DAY ONE: Morrigan

Morrigan began, waaaay back, as a bit of Morgan le Fey (hence the Dark Ritual) mixed with Delirium from Sandman. The Delirium elements subsided into more of a weird cadence of speech as my idea of Morrigan solidified - more cynical, wanting to connect but unable to. 🧵

Dragon Age.
