Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014. Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.
I really wish friendship was acknowledged in SWTOR. I mean, to an extent it is, but Bioware seems more interested in the player character being a hero or villain and in romantic relationships.
I watched a video of a male trooper reuniting with Jorgan in KOTFE, and I can kinda understand them not hugging, because Jorgan is a rather stoic guy unless you’re a female trooper who romanced him. But Timothy Omundson did a good job of making Jorgan seem, you know, happy to see his CO return.
But I’m really nervous about the female Sith Warrior reuniting with Vette(as well as male Warriors who didn’t romance her but treated her well). I just have this sinking feeling that it’s just going to be a “hey, how you doing, it’s been 5 years”.
GDI, Bioware, she adores the Warrior that treats her well. Promise to help her find Twi'lek artifacts? “You. Are. The best.” Convince her not to get even with a Hutt? “You saved my life. You know that, right?”
A hug is a hug. I want to see Bralova hug Vette. When (light side) Jaesa returns, I want Bralova to hug her too. I want D'leah to hug Kira, shit, even Scourge, when they return. Gault isn’t a romance, but fuck that, let him hug or at least fist bump a Bounty Hunter Outlander.
Just because you’re not married(in the game at least) to someone doesn’t mean you don’t care about them.
Let’s see some friendship action here, Bioware.
“Some villains don’t deserve to have a redemption arc.”
Um no?? This is wrong??
No villain deserves a redemption arc.
But every villain could have one, if they tried, if they worked towards it, if they’re written well in both their understanding of their wrongs and their dedication to being a better person.
No villain deserves a redemption arc because change isn’t about deserving heroism. It’s about seeing your faults for what they are and deciding to be better even when it’s hard and it hurts.
The entire point of a redemption arc is that the villain doesn't deserve it, and that the villain understands and accepts that. Proper redemption arcs are those in which the villain does good not because they’re trying to gain anything for themselves but because they realize it’s the right fucking thing to do and they don’t care if it’s the death of them as long as it saves someone else.
And using the word deserve in reference to a redemption arc is just a mess all on it’s own, because it acts like redemption is some some fun jaunt to a place of happiness and cookies which all villains would love to go if the writer gave them the option. But it’s not.
Redemption is a trail. A crucible. Whether emotionally or physically or both, it hurts.
If a redemption arc doesn’t require suffering — more suffering than villainy did — to reach the final place of happiness then that’s just bad writing yo.
It’s called an arc for a reason, because it takes time, and effort, and change.
So yeah, some villains (all villains) don’t deserve their sins to be suddenly erased. But if a villain sees their sins for what they are and makes a genuine effort to change then fucking good on them. No one is too far gone unless they chose to be. Everyone who continues to be ‘too far gone’ is so because they are choosing to be, whether they understand that yet or not.
A phenomenon I’ve seen in fandom with a large central ship is that people will have their shipping goggles activated at such an intensity, they doggedly erase character traits that don’t contribute to pushing forward romance. The two individuals in the relationship are rendered utterly one-dimensional through the loss of any individual aspects of their story or personality that could be interpreted as an obstacle to shipping.
This makes fanon interpretations of the characters boring and uninteresting to read about because they have no character traits other than being in love with their romantic interest. I like shipping as much as the next guy, but I hate fandom-at-large’s tendency to only engage with a story through shipping, and especially to the extent that the characters are barely individuals, and do not exist outside of the central romantic relationship
Been gone for a while BUT IM BACK WITH MORE OP DRAGONS!
i've been drawing a good amount and i'm gonna post them one by one so i don't run out of art to post too quickly :>
FOR THAT PERSON THAT REQUESTED PERONA HERE SHE IS!!! I wasn't gonna give her wings originally, but i felt her design lacked something- the lil wings i think are a good touch.
I also made a new background for the dragons cause i found a few cool scale brushes >:D
