i have thoughts and feelings, but i’m bad at bios. she/her.
I doodled Spite in a Santa hat for similar reasons and because I needed a pfp, but now it’s an offering for your bad times. 🫂

9 out of 10 online weirdos recommend taking a hatless character and giving them a hat just for funsies, I hear.

Made a “two nickels” joke about BioWare making two love interests impregnate other women (Jacob and Alistair), but ppl just keep explaining to me why Alistair “had to”, as if I’m comparing their motivations and not just poking fun at it happening in 2 (!!!) romances.

Please…no more. I do not care.

Someone on Reddit pointing out that a woman’s role in culture and media is usually to suffer/sacrifice/be humiliated, and how that affects women’s romance options in games vs. men’s, and then thinking some more about hardened Lucanis inescapably pursuing Neve in front of my Rook.

Pardon, I—AHHHHHHH

“It makes sense that hardened Lucanis won’t romance Rook because—“

I…kinda don’t care? I’m not media illiterate, I get why sad town=sad man. I’m just tired of male romance options getting shafted and it getting treated like it’s a revolutionary narrative decision, and not the norm. 1/5

Mmm, just gonna pretend the Lucanis answers on Reddit never happened, actually. I can’t wrap my head around the “didn’t dim his passions” thing without wrecking my enjoyment of what we did get. More power to the people that can, but it ain’t me.

Demi + virgin Lucanis though? Thank you, Mary. 🙌

maybe I’ve been reading too much Lucanis discourse, or game discourse in general, but there’s a certain…energy directed at people that would like more from video game romances.

Not assuming bad intent, just noticing the language mirrors capital-G(amer) “women b crazy” talking points. It feels bad.

Lucanis no longer has time for a romance with you…but he does have a quick question about Rook’s opinion on his romance pie. He made it with love, in his spare time.

(AKA—I’m not an artist, but I had some feelings.)

My ongoing gaming struggle…finally having money to spend and nothing I want to spend it on.

Does no one in game dev like kissing guys? Where are all the male love interests? I’m bored and want to watch Some Guy fall in love with the MC while I mash buttons and save the world.

“I’m so glad Veilguard fandom has kept up Dragon Age tradition of psychoanalyzing people based on whether or not they have a very specific interpretation of or reaction to Complex Character/ Narrative Decision.”

—said the literal devil. holy shit, why does this keep happening?

I’ll be honest: I have no idea how this site works or the etiquette. I only made an account because I’ve got big feelings about Veilguard (positive and negative, none hateful!) and I want to scream into the void about Lucanis and his romance.

If I overstep, I’m happy to learn and grow from it. <3
