Sometimes I remember that if you play Surana or Amell in Origins the origin (hehe) of the conflict that ultimately leads to the death of the Archdemon is... the First Enchanter of one of the most "liberally run" Circles in southern Thedas leaving out a bunch of books on blood magic with the explicit hope that young apprentices will pick them up and become blood mages so that they can be handed over to the Templars as maleficars. With your best friend falling for this trick explicitly because he's terrified that the Circle is going to magically lobotomize him against his will just because he's not particularly good at magic so he feels his only hope is to run away whatever the cost. That's the starting point for your character. And again, Kinloch Hold is supposed to be one of the most liberally run Circles. This is one of the good Circles. And then in Awakening we learn that Anders was kept in solitary confinement for a year just because he wanted to live outside the Circle, and you can comment that he's lucky they didn't just kill him outright. And I know I've said this twice already this post, but this is supposed to be a good Circle. This is nice. The mages at places like the Gallows would probably kill to be at Kinloch Hold. And your introduction to it is first you, a young adult (or possibly in your late teens; you are mentioned to be young for a Harrowing, and Harrowings generally seem to be done when the mage is quite young to begin with), being thrown to demons without warning as a standard test, and then when you wake up you learn that your best and possibly only friend is likely to be magically lobotomized for not being great at magic unless you help him escape. And between those things and during the latter you'll hear about fun things like apprentices disappearing into thin air (with no one questioning it because it's that normal) and the Templars watching the female apprentices bathe! And when you return it's to find out that when things went tits up the Templars, who are supposedly there for your protection, locked every surviving mage in Kinloch Hold in the demon infested part of the tower and are waiting for permission to murder everyone inside down to the youngest child. Ten bucks says that the Templars also in there would've been allowed to live.

I think it hits a lot harder just because you don't learn that Kinloch Hold is considered a liberal Circle until after it leaves the series, apparently for good, with the Templars planning to hang out outside the door until they get legal cover for murdering everyone inside. Like, you see all that and then after that you learn that that? That was the best a Circle mage could hope for. Just a few life-threatening tests you're not allowed to prepare for. Just a bit of entrapment by the person who's supposed to stand between you and the Templars. Only rumours that the Templars will watch you while you bathe rather than confirmed fact. And only a small chance that they'll murder you the moment they're given the opportunity. That's a good life for a Circle mage.

And then in DAI they genuinely expected us to buy that actually the Circles weren't that bad and the Circle mages are just so whiny for not knowing how to survive outside the cage they've been trapped in their whole lives and also wanting to kill a lot of their jailors. It's like the writers forgot that we've seen that even the best the Circles offered was still absolutely fucking horrific. And that that was a lot of players' first introduction to the series.

#dragon age #i mean hell #even the last court got in on the 'the circles suck' train #(if you decide that carver's a templar and then send him away your courtiers APPLAUD YOUR DECISION)#(because even after everything the shame of serault did EVERYONE THINKS HE DESERVED BETTER THAN WHAT THE TEMPLARS DID TO HIM)#(so even three generations on templars STILL aren't particularly welcome in serault)#and then in dai we're supposed to LIKE the templars #TERRIBLE writing

On a positive note, though...

While it is currently being debated on whether or not Nimona the film is a good adaptation of Nimona the comic, the fact that Amazon officially sold out of physical copies of the comic after the movie came out shows that the movie excelled at one of the core duties of any decent film/TV adaptation:

Encouraging people to look into the original media the adaptation is based off of.

Edit: I have been informed that a similar phenom happened when the first season of Heartstopper premiered.

So we have two adaptation examples for 'understanding the assignment'.

#which is one of the many reasons why so many Netflix anime adaptations bomb #they essentially create entirely new stories and just swap names #and then wonder why no one likes the show or goes to look at the original media #I mean hell #as much as people have been hyping up the Heartstopper adaptation #I didn't hear about people clamoring to go get the books

If Molly Cobb was still alive and had some sort of interaction with Irina at NASA where she basically put Irina in her place, while Margo watched from the sidelines with that same little grin on her face when Molly yelled at Gordo and Ed, I think my brain would explode.

#what would happen next?#um I am not sure #but I want all of it in a PwP fic please #molly x margo #irina x margo #irina x molly x margo?#does Lenara show up?#I mean hell #why not?#for all mankind

so yknow how millennials made so many “well actually frankenstein was the scientist, not the monster” jokes that the misconception just…kinda faded away in a lot circles? and most people under the age of like 40 started recognizing “frankenstein” as the creature? i think that’s what happened with gen z and biblically accurate angels

#like seriously #i don’t think i know anyone my age that thinks of angels as pretty dude with wings #“biblically accurate [blank]’’ is usually used as a joke #but bc of it a lot of people learned was angels used to be depicted as #and i think that’s cool #that’s just the power of humor #i mean hell #maybe ‘yeet’ or something will be used so commonly that it enters the english lexicon #just like the word ‘ok’ did #who knows #biblically accurate angel #frankenstein #frankenstein’s monster #frankensteins creature

you know how i know I've played this game 3 times already? im not paying attention to any of the plot stuff, im just nitpicking at all the inconsequential little bg things no one cares about 💀 like npcs??? the state of kiryu's apartment??? the toppings on wagi's cold noodles- well i didn't make a post about that but i thought about it

#i mean hell #ive said everything i could possibly say about this game i feel like #and all the smart people in the fandom have already made all the think pieces (and continue to)#they've got it covered #i've got nothing USEFUL to add #but what i CAN do- is talk my shit ♡ i can always find something to talk shit about

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’

this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry

#gav gab #‘it’s sooooooo ooc to make that character cry’ no you see I think it is ooc #to put this character through absolute unimaginable hell physically and emotionally #and NOT let them cry about it #sometimes canon framing and media format and genre #limit the ability to let a character emotionally Feel all the insanely traumatic shit that’s happened to them #that doesn’t mean that in a different medium or genre exploring these things #it would be ooc for them to do so #send tweet. let those characters feel and emote. it’s not ooc or cringe and anyone who tells you it is is a reductive dick

Rare legendary cards

#custom cards #custom cards 2 #simic and golgari don't get legends here #in this particular storie those ideologies fill pretty specific niches that are already covered by the uncommon legends I think #I mean hell #the golgari legend is the only one I haven't even found a place in the story for yet #those combos will get noncreature rares #but for now I'm just focusing on the legends #since I haven't actually planned the story out yet having the legends will give me something to work with

Dani, sightseeing in Gotham, thinks that perhaps Robin needs a personal Villain.

The others clearly suck at their jobs, and she's already hated by the government. Plus, there's a bunch of dead goons that would gladly help set up training exercises for Robin if she asked!

Vlad and Dan are always telling her to make friends in her own age group anyways.

So she goes and starts trouble when Robin is on patrol, and adamantly refuses to play with any other hero.

Red Hood arrives? She just stops, stares at him in disgust, and disappears.

Nightwing? She waves at him half heartedly and asks when Robin can come out.

Red Robin? Loves planning with him, isn't entirely convinced he's not actually a villain.

Spoiler? Best costume. But also the best at hunting Dani? 0/10. Dani flees on sight.

BlackBat? Girlboss. 10/10. Likes to learn some cool ninja moves from her to practice on Robin.

Batman? Adult. Smells like money. Gross. She makes it a point to stare at him with all the disgust and hatred she can before going invisible and stealing the candy from his belt.

Signal? Creeps her out. Always knows where she is. She does make sure to give him a wave sometimes. He seems pretty cheered up when she does that.

Robin? Time to play time to play time to play. Intense weird plots that serve no real purpose, mazes that always shift, puzzles she put together with Red Robin, holding Robin's other friend Superboy hostage for a really cool battle across the rooftops (Superboy is also like, kinda cool? He prefers to hang out normally, though; although he does agree that Robin needs this level of entertainment for enrichment purposes).

She thinks Robin is having as much fun as her, honestly.

(Damian is, and the rest of the Bats and Supers think it's adorable)

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #by superboy i mean jon of course #i will never agree with the randomass ageup that left his friend behind #what the hell
