"Hey, Merry... how're you feeling?"

"I'm okay... but my head hurts, and I'm tired, and Feryl says my fever isn't gone yet. So I can't leave my room for the rest of the week."

It was clear that Mercury was very put out about that, but... Cari couldn't help but noticed how red his little brother's eyes looked. Like he'd been crying, before he came in.

"...Are you upset about last night? About the guy who kidnapped Auntie Alli, Wrenn, Lily and Cherry?"

"Cari..."

"It'll be okay," he reassures, ruffling Merry's hair carefully--he didn't want to aggravate the headache. "A lot's going on, but I'm sure they'll all be safe soon. Grandfather's probably gonna do everything he can to make sure of that."

"...Yeah..."

I genuinely mean it when I say that life becomes at least 30% more manageable whenever you allow yourself to become obsessed with something that is a little bit silly

Ice Age 3 reference :D While watching the GoW with friends, we laughed wildly at the fact that almost the entire range of Kratos' answers boils down to "Hmmm" in different intonations depending on the context By the middle of the game, I, along with Atreus and Mimir, learned to understand what Kratos means by his growl in this or that situation ahahahah

Interesting how the Trident incident is the only moment where people question Joffrey's capacity for cruelty. He is almost universally considered one of the worst asoiaf characters, with no redeemable qualities. No one ever attempts to justify his actions when he abuses Sansa, orders Ned's executions, or any of his other many acts of violence. It's only this moment, a moment meant to introduce us to his cruel nature, that people seem to believe him to be a rational character with limits. It's honestly laughable. It's evident that the people who think like this are just biased against Arya; the majority of these arguments are centered not around Joffrey's violence, but Arya's actions to defend Mycah. People seem to truly believe that the better option would have been to let Joffrey "have his fun" and torment Mycah.

Debating how badly Joffrey would've hurt Mycah misses the entire point of the moment. Joffrey attacks Mycah because he's lowborn, he finds amusement in tormenting others, and he knows he can get away with it. He was quick to pull his sword and draw blood and, from what we know of his character, he undoubtedly would've taken it further. Arya stands up to him because she thinks that Mycah is worth defending which is significant considering she is the only one to do so. She is also the only character who mourns him and is affected by his senseless death, even books later (Ned is affected by his death but I wouldn't say he mourns him, although it is a moment that influences his feelings towards the Lannisters and Robert). Even if, which is a very big if, Joffery hadn't intended to go any further he had already crossed a line by attacking Mycah. The only alternative would be that Arya simply sits by and watches Joffrey further injure Mycah...and that's somehow the "better" option?

The people coming to the conclusion that Arya was the one who escalated the situation (and that it's somehow not Joffrey pulling his sword on an innocent boy) are coming from the perspective of the classist society that they live in. Joffrey attacking a lowborn boy wasn't an issue worth action, but harming a prince is "wrong". Mycah being attacked, and later murdered, is seen as inconsequential to the other characters (and readers) because he is lowborn. That's the thing though. You aren't supposed to look at this situation where a young boy is murdered for no reason and think that the only one who defended should've behaved differently. This moment is a criticism of the classist society these characters live in. It is significant that Arya is markedly less classist than a majority of other characters and cares when no one else does.

Further, if Arya were truly in the wrong for her actions then Joffrey wouldn't have needed to lie about what happened. From the very existence of the "trial" and Arya being given the chance to tell her version of events, we know that there wouldn't be any punishment if the truth of the situation had been told from the very beginning. The only reason there was an issue is because Joffrey decided to attack Mycah, and then later lie about what happened. Arya is not responsible for Joffrey's cruelty, Cersei's enabling, or Robert's subsequent apathy. The fact that people can't seem to comprehend this is maddening. I've never seen people have the same attitude towards Sansa for speaking up for Dontos, even though it incurred Joffrey's wrath and would've escalated had Sandor not spoken up. Why are Sansa's actions brave and kind, but Arya's are seen as stupid and reckless? What happened to not blaming young characters for the actions of others?

This is one of those things where the fandom decides for themselves that they know the story being told, without actually looking at how it's written. They would rather debate on (baseless) hypotheticals than look at why George presented the story to us the way he did. It takes an insane amount of misinterpretation to decide that Arya's actions are the reason for Mycah's death and misses a, rather large, point being made by the author. Notably, none of these people can ever provide evidence from the book to support their insistence that Joffrey would've simply left Mycah alone. You would think that since that's the basis of their argument and they're so adamant that their analysis is correct, they would be able to support their reasoning. It's almost as though the books don't support their interpretations...

#arya stark #ned stark #joffrey baratheon #the trident incident #anti arya bs #fandom nonsense #a song of ice and fire #asoiaf #people are joining the class wars on the side of classism and that's just insane to me sdksdkdsk #you are not supposed to think that Arya defending a lowborn boy being attacked is wrong! or that her not being classist is wrong oh my god #yeah George's point was totally that it's better to bow to classist ideals than defend those who are unfairly treated /srs #he wrote a bunch of characters victimized by a bigoted society cause he was in a silly goofy mood he definitely wasn't making a point 🤪 #I've said this before but it really is alarming that George has more progressive ideas then a lot of people in fandom #anyways it rocks that Arya defended Mycah it rocks that she isn't classist it rocks that she wants justice for him #it rocks that she's constantly thinking about trying to protect those who can't protect themselves and that she wants justice for them #hurray for privileged characters growing beyond the ignorance of the society they were raised in!!! #praying people don't try and misinterpret what I said because my point about Sansa/Dontos isn't that she was wrong for speaking up for him #it's that people are hypocritical and biased when it comes to Arya and her behavior #the same people who say you can't blame Sansa for lying will blame Arya for Mycah and Lady's death it's honestly hilarious

hello, I just followed for your orctober stuff and scrolled through some of your blog and wanted to ask, what is guild wars 2?

OOOH BOY HERE I GO! ahem.

Guild Wars 2 is a high fantasy MMO, similar to maybe Final Fantasy Online. Guid Wars as a series is about as old as World of Warcraft, but has a much smaller fanbase; mostly because the company behind it, ArenaNet, seems to be allergic to advertisements (it's gotten better since the last two expansions).

These days, the core game is free, with only the expansions costing money. Well, some expansions, as they just throw in older expacs for free now. Even if you start with a free account, you can technically buy an upgrade by just... using ingame currency, which is a WILD concept to me.

Most notable features of the game are probably the character customization, free dyeing of armor, and a few thousand unique armor and weapon skins. Players often joke that the true endgame of GW2 is fashion (and they are RIGHT goddamnit). All five playable races are so ridiculously detailed in lore and design, it's incredible. Sylvari for example are not plain elves, they are full on plant constructs that grow from fruits on the mother tree. Asura are not just gnomes/goblins, they are a highly educated society of geniuses that would openly strive for world domination if it werent for their inherent bureaucratic tendencies.

The mounts in GW2 are among the best you will find anywhere, so much that World of Warcraft just copied some for their Dragonflight expansion.

Guild Wars 2 has a medium sized active player base, smaller than WoW or FFXIV, but they are an amazing community. We have veteran players, including me, who routinely patrol the starter maps to offer advice and maybe some healing to newbies (supported by the ingame mentor system). You might receive random mail from players gifting some cake. There's festivals, community parties, role playing, fashion contests, races and minigames.

If you are a seasoned MMO player, GW2 offers raids and the smaller strike system, which is being constantly expanded. Extreme MMO experts might find the game a bit flat, but that's only superficial. For beginners, I'd say the story is beatifully written. You can explore the open world, meeting players along the way (every map holds around 50-80 player at a time). You can choose any class and complete any content, including endgame. Any class, any race, (almost) any playstyle is viable, and nothing about your build is permanent, you can adjust your whole build on the fly.

Aside from the obvious MMO parts, GW2 also has structured PvP (5 vs 5 players) and the so called World vs World, which is a large scale week-long epic battle of three teams of around 50 players on each side (which btw is not as draining on the CPU as you'd think)

If you plan on giving it a try, I'd be more than happy to give you a more detailed overview of the game. This little chaotic hellhole of an MMO is very dear to my heart <3

This is by the way for ANYONE reading this: If any of you want to try the game, hit me up. DM me here on tumblr, or on discord (@ achromant). Even if you already play the game and are still new or just lost - ask me anything you want. I have close to 18k ingame hours.

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #ask achro #also i LOVE meeting new people ingame! #we even got furries #and elves #and gnomes #and ogres #and undead sassy lich overlords #and that one psycho pumpkin king dude #pumpkin dude and lich dude are husbands according to the fandom #also we got zombies #and plant zombies and crystal zombies and ice zombies #and dragons who are responsible for most of the zombie population to be honest #you can fight the personification of death #or kill a god

figured i'd post the full creature list for my bravely default bestiary mod for dwarf fort since the mod is basically finished ignoring my indecisiveness under read more since it's like 50 miles long

chompers of all kinds. and chompettes. and war trained gobblers :)

the first of the sprites i made, and what i consider the mascots of the mod

(BD1+BS)

ratbitt, badbitt, uniconey unibitt (BD2)

alraune, mandragora, and rafflesia (BD1+BS)

green, fire, and ice d'gons (BD1+BS)

brimstone stallion, sagari, and nightmare (BD2)

drake (BS)

land turtle (BD1+BS)

magician, mephisto, and zauberer (BD1+BS)

hybrid (BD1+BS)

catamount, and valtora

killer ant, magic ant, peraponera, and shooterbug (BS, BD2)

anzu, and regulus (BS)

cu sith! technically cheating since it's from final fantasy 4 heroes of light and not BD, but 4hol is bravely adjacent and originally i was going to do cait sith as well, and wanted them to be a pair. in the end i couldn't make a cait sith sprite i was happy with so it ended up just being this guy.

kaiser cobra, sea serpent cobra (BD1+BS)

fungoo (BD2)

rock golem, inferno golem, ice golem (BD1 + BS) and wood golem (BD2)

one golem type assigned to each main race in DF

hellhound. every bravely game has a hellhound in it but in all of them they're just regular wolves recolored red, or blue in BD2. So it's instead based on it's 4HoL design.

imp, teufel (BD1 + BS)

mailed dragon (BD1 + BS)

megalodon (BD1 + BS)

minotaur, and amber horn (BD1 + BS)

ogre (in all 3 games but based on the BD2 design)

orc, orc leader, orc chieftain, orc lord, orc king. (in all 3 games but based on the BD2 designs)

ratatoskr, and frosti (BD1 + BS)

sizzlemoth (BD2)

slime, red flan, and black pudding (BD1 + BS)

soil eater (BD1 + BS)

wiki-wiki, big wiki-wiki, metal wiki-wiki, queen wiki-wiki, and king wiki-wiki (BD2)

behemoth behemouth. renamed since i already did a 'behemoth' for my other mod. still less bad than it's 4HoL name of "bighugemore"

a megabeast with a deafening roar and a lethal bite laced with venom. based on a mix of it's BD1 and BS fights (venom from BD1 and roar from BS)

greaps, the second full creature from 4HoL. put in simply because she's very cool and it felt weird to only have 1 4HoL monster.

a megabeast that specializes on using different forms of magic from her 3 different battles from 4hol.

#ramblings #modding #haha what if i only intended to make like 10 beast then i accidentally made another 30 #would that be fucked up or what #anyways some of these im not the happiest with. but they're good enough #i wanted to try hitting most of the creatures i considered 'iconic' to BD. or at least one member of their family #also if there's no child graphics in my bad ms paint screenshots then they dont have child graphics #bc i either couldn't come up with a baby sprite appearance or i just didnt wanna #mostly bc i didn't wanna #also if they're in the same image i consider them the same 'creature' under that number 30 #since usually the sprite is the same or like 90% the same #did a few test forts with them and in one i lost my army to ice d'gon breath in a small staircase lol #the one i was doing for the past few days fell to naga (different mod) invasion #funnily tho the naga brought a small army of chompers with them since they're both from wetlands #tiny little war frogs. as god intended.

"Hey, Uncle Az? Why aren't you married? I mean, you're the oldest, so it makes sense you would've gotten married first, right?"

"Well, that is a fair assumption. And I have had a few proposals, but... none of them felt quite right. I am of the mind that a marriage, while it can be for political gain, should also be comfortable for both parties involved."

"He also had a crush on Alli for a few years. So there was also that."

"Whoa, what??"

"Irrelevant."

Time and time again, the internet will claim to want more "unhinged" female characters but the moment a female character does (1) one thing that is slightly immoral or even just a bit questionable, everyone loses their collective minds and they start writing like 100-page dissertations on why she is "bad representation" and how she will "set a negative example"

And it becomes abundantly clear that when some people say they want "unhinged" female characters, what they really mean is they want a totally normal girl who just looks like she shops at hot topic

thinking that. any of the things simon is currently trying to do are going to be good or helpful for him in literally any way. is. congrats you’ve fallen into his trap. that’s what he wants you to think. that’s what HE thinks. if he can see betty again then surely that would make him happy because that’s the problem, right? it’s just that he misses betty that’s all, right? then everything would definitely be perfectly fine. and if he can’t have that then he should have magic again because that’s the problem, right? he can’t do anything to help anyone (without magic) he can’t fit in anywhere (without magic) and he can’t relate to anyone around him (without magic) so that must be what’s wrong. surely that’ll fix him. definitely no more underlying problems here just all this material stuff that’s so much more straightforward to “fix” and doesn’t require actually properly facing up to any difficult emotions or finding constructive ways to deal with the messed up things that have happened to him.

#One of many angles to look at it with anyway. #He IS problems. #he misses betty bc he loves her but also like……….. #The *Concept* Of Betty is the one good happy familiar thing #that he has any path to try and… Get Back #he can’t get back the world before the war. #you know he never actually saw… magic betty #he is chasing this 1 thing associated with happiness. unaltered in his mind like nothing ever happened to her either #And well theres so many reasons for him trying to be ice king again #‘this is a way i can be USEFUL again’ and ‘this is what everyone wants from me’ #and ‘this will make the world make sense to me again this will give me a place again’ #And also. ‘GOD i wish i could just shut my brain off and die’ #basilposting #atposting #fionna and cake spoilers
