Ok so life update?

So oh boy have I had a year.

And yes I’m aware I’ve been terrible with updating and posting. So hopefully over the Christmas break more will come. I was thinking of getting that Thedas cookbook and testing out some recipes?

Basically this year, was well it was a lot, I started my masters last September and now I’m in my second year and it’s going well but, um I had a few hiccups.

I had a really bad time last November mental health wise and then, well, there’s no good way to put this. I got hit by a car in January and broke multiple bones and spent a week in hospital and months recovering. I feel like I should clarify I’m ok now, everything’s healed well and I’m Canadian so I only got charged for the ambulance, which is covered by my student insurance. But yeah, not a great start to the year. I had to go part time as a student and recovery was pretty brutal in the early months.

Then a few other members of my family were hospitalized and that was very stressful (they’re ok).

Then there was an upswing. I really started to be able to move again and I was able to ditch my walker, I was on crutches, then I was using a cane and then my ortho cleared me in April and that felt really good. Physio went really well and I was feeling good.

I was able to go on a research trip with my supervisor and spent most of the summer abroad and overall had a really good summer. Made new friends saw new things and burnt the shit out of my feet in Crete.

I started my second year of my masters and it’s going well. I might even be getting to co-author a publication with my supervisor.

It’s been a very weird year, with some massive ups and downs. But yeah I kinda just wanted to…I dunno rant? Basically I want to do more on this blog and hopefully I’ll be posting more over Christmas, I have like 80 pages of a fic written and I want to edit and post it.

Well…I’m back?

Bioware fans create Twitter account CrewCompanions to assist devs recently laid off!

Fandom is hecking amazing.

Additionally, for people interested in those effected by the layouts, there's a thread here gathering that information.

For the record I feel like saying "Dreadwolf is going to suck because they laid off Mary Kirby" is like... really dramatically missing the point of what's going on here.

The next game has been in alpha for nearly a year now. Kirby's work on the game as a writer was probably mostly finished. Which does not make this better. If anything, it makes it worse.

The layoffs aren't terrible news because a game we're looking forward to might be worse because of them. They're terrible news because people who have devoted years of blood, sweat, and tears to making the game good (including the person who wrote one of the two characters on which they've been hanging the entire marketing campaign for said game thus far) have been axed now that the company has decided it can probably get by without them.

The quality of the game when it finally comes out is irrelevant here. If it's amazing, it won't make this any better, and if it's awful, it won't make it any worse. What matters is the people whose labor made it exist at all are profoundly undervalued, the industry as a whole is broken and frankly abusive, and I wish everyone in it some good labor organizing.

So…we’ll that’s really not good is it?

I know we’re all waiting for DAD, but this is bigger than a game. As much as I want a new game I’m more worried about the staff at BioWare and the cuts being made. If I’m being honest I’m not feeling very positive about the future of BioWare right now.

Songs and elements that sing and whisper in DA Lore

Dragon Age presents us a lore which has an excess of things that sing. Some of them seem to be related to the same source, while others appear to be alternative songs or corrupted versions of the first ones. It’s still not clear if all of them are related to an original source. Each of the concepts that has a Song has a lot of lore attached to it too.

In the present post I gather all the pieces of lore I found related to each title, summarised the most important concepts and ideas from them, and drew a general conclusion about the song of that particular object. Since some of them are related, I will be a bit repetitive in some items. At the end of the post a general, integral conclusion will be shared.

Main objects with songs attached to them:

Lyrium

Templars and Dwarves

Titans

Red Lyrium

Old Gods, Archdemons, and The Blight

Elves and Uthenera

Magic and Fade

Extra things with unclear songs

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

honestly i’ve tried to think through my inquisition rewrite au where a chantry inquisition takes its natural role as the tyrannical villain of the piece that the so-called herald of andraste is forced to used their newfound deification to rise up against, and i’ve tried to think it through despite the fact that actually getting into inquisition rewrite concepts on any in-depth level would be probably the wrong choice for my mental health, but i’m saved by the fact that i never get far because i’m too distracted by how sexy genuine rebel against the chantry cassandra and villain advisors would be

au where the one “person” who stumbles out of the fade alive at the conclave is really just an envy demon doing their best. this makes no sense but consider: it would be really funny
