I fucking LOVE the generally unsettling vibes of gl!Ranboo spouting out Generic Video Game Protagonist Dialogue while everyone around him reacts like real people

Everyone From The Carousel: *screaming crying begging for their lives as they bleed out on the ground*

Ranboo: Aw snap! I guess THAT’S not the exit 😜

idk it’s like... the gas station attendant who built a nation the stepson of a goddess with no faith in religion a father a son a lonely ghost who now has a friend to watch the trains roll by with the man known for his speeches whose final words to his little brother are a private moment only the two of them will ever share 

I just think he’s neat :D

I like to think that the Dragonborn is like Adora in She-ra and the princesses of power, and can just read dragon language like it’s nothing and is like wait no one else can read this?? And everyone else is like NO?!

Apparently it’s 3 fractured vertebrae rather than the 1 they initially saw when we first did imaging in June. No new injury, which is good, but it’s all soft tissue and nerve stuff and there hasn’t been as much progress with the bone itself healing as we’d like to see. I have follow-up imaging and pain clinic appointments in a couple weeks, but this is awful.

Can’t sit up long enough to do fun stuff like draw or write lately. Been managing work for a few days, but that will have to go on hold again and idk how the disability claim will shake out if this is turning into a longer-term thing.

Like I always knew intellectually that we’re all just one accident away from being disabled but MAN this one hit hard and fast and without a lot of clear answers. If it was just “you use a wheelchair now” or “your arm is gone” I could navigate but it’s this nebulous pain.

Anyway don’t fall down stairs.

do varric’s opinions on mages v templars change depending on da2 or what’s the deal

#fascinated by his line here #i mean i do agree mages can be loyal friends sure much like. you know. people. youll never guess what mages happen to be #but LOYAL being the word choice that varric uses is kind of funny #who are u talking abt bestie. merrill? #it feels like its supposed to be a ref to mage hawke but that is very much not the worldstate

I said I wasn't going to get started on the topic of Aveline ruining Carver's chances with the guard but I lied okay, it's Carver Hawke defense hours.

Here's the thing; it doesn't matter if you believe Carver was or wasn't fit for the guard. That's a different debate that I'll get to. What matters is Aveline's in no position to tell the guard not to accept his application. Why does she think that's her right to judge whether or not he's fit?

Carver should've had the chance to prove himself one way or another. If it turns out he's not a good fit, then let him fail. Let him learn from it.

"Oh but failure could mean lost lives-"

Aveline doesn't get to talk shit about failure and the people. Plenty have died on her watch yet she still believes she's a good guard and Guard-Captain.

"maybe Aveline's protecting him, Carver could die while on patrol-"

Carver could die working in the Bone Pit, or serving as a templar, or when he's running around with Hawke. Carver could trip and fall down a set of stairs and die. In fact, he can die in the Deep Roads, somewhere he wouldn't have to go if the Hawke's weren't desperate.

Either Carver fails as a guard, or more likely, he succeeds and proves himself worthy of it.

But let's be real, Carver probably kept getting rejected due to being a Fereldan with a past of smuggling/mercenary work and Aveline only reaffirmed the decision, either because they asked her what she thought or she stuck her nose in unprompted.

But what irritates me is that she admits to telling them not to accept his application, and then has the balls to call Carver too proud to take up a trade or find another line of work.

Carver tells her, "And who would take on a Fereldan apprentice? Maybe in another year I could work my way up to pissboy." He has a good point here. Aside from the guard, the only other place Carver could work and use his skillset is with the Templars. Or go back to mercenary/smuggling work.

And Aveline doesn't even have a real answer for him. No suggestions, no encouragement, nothing. Just "Fine, let's crawl down some holes. Good bloody luck for your sake."

Also, if you do the Mark of the Assassin DLC in Act 1-

Aveline: You should see if any of the noblemen are looking for new men-at-arms. Carver: Are you trying to get rid of me? Aveline: It's a role with some autonomy. A good fit with your training and... tendencies. Carver: After serving King Cailan? You want me to suffer some poncy git who needs two servants to wipe his own ass? I'll find my own way, thanks. Aveline: I wish you would.

You wish he would?? Aveline, he was trying to find his way into the guard, a position he'd make a good fit for, and you helped deny him of it because YOU didn't think he would be good enough, I just-

If I haven't made it clear yet, I firmly believe that Carver would've made a great guard. He wants to help people, to be a protector. He's loyal, and despite what Aveline claims, he can follow orders and take his duty seriously. We see him do incredibly well with the Grey Wardens, after all. If he were a guard, he wouldn't have to go down into the Deep Roads with Hawke, and I think he would've been okay with that! He's so hurt and bitter when you leave him behind because that effectively tells him, "I don't need you." Carver's spent the whole first act telling you he wants to go on the expedition aka that he wants to be needed.

But if he were a guard, he would be needed elsewhere. He'd be in training as a recruit. He'd look after Leandra while you go. He wouldn't be backed into a corner with no income and only the templars left as his chance at forging his own path and providing for his family.

He doesn't get that opportunity, though.

By the way, if he becomes a warden, you can get this banter:

Aveline: I'm glad you found a place with the Wardens. Carver: Well, it's not the city guard, but it'll do. Aveline: Carver... it wasn't the place for you. Carver: No, it's all right. It is. It cost a lot, but I get it. I really was a bit of a tit those days, wasn't I? Aveline: Well...

This banter makes me want to scream.

Aveline's just... she's so insistent that she's right. She's someone who will double down rather than entertain the idea that she's wrong and it's not just with Carver and the guard, it's with everything. The "my beef with Aveline" list gets longer and longer every time I replay da2, I swear.

Say what you will about Carver, whether you think he would've been a good fit or if Aveline's right and it wasn't for him, he was denied a chance and it cost him so much in the end. He either dies, or he joins the templars where he deals with Chantry's bullshit trying to brainwash him with "mages aren't people" and "magic is a cancer in this world", or he's infected with the blight and becomes a Grey Warden, forced to serve the rest of his life fighting darkspawn, tormented by voices and nightmares.

I will never not be bitter about this.

#dragon age 2 #da2 #dragon age #carver hawke #aveline vallen #aveline critical #oh and also forever bitter that hawke doesn't have the option to talk to aveline about this #because listen my hawke would be on this #carver would be annoyed and all 'i don't need your help >:[' but that's not gonna stop ed from turning on Big Brother Mode #this is just one of many reasons i can't do the friendship path with aveline #i hate the thought of doing rivalries for all my other companions but i feel like aveline's rivalry route is the only chance to shake her #of her unwarranted over confidence and make her realize that she's not this lawful good 'i stand for all of us' guard captain #she still stands with me in the end but at that point i wouldn't be surprised if she was just doing to because she still feels she owes ed #for getting her outta fereldan and into kirkwall rather than because we're loyal best friends y'know? #she's certainly not doing it for the mage rights #but anyway i never miss an opportunity to defend carver #that's my baby brother and i love him

#generation loss #generation loss spoilers #genloss #ranboo #mage talks #the screenshot is from I Am Not Okay With This good show would recommend

[kinokoapologist]

okay just gonna float this out there bc I’ve seen comparisons between Eret and Wilbur tossing their stuff in the L’Crater and Phil burning Tommy’s gapple from Ranboo: I do think there is a big difference between Phil, in his training vault surrounded by fancy gear, destroying one of the few things Tommy had as means of protection from the dude actively trying to murder him (as well as being the last gift he got from a now dead friend) vs. Eret telling Wilbur he needs to toss the literal bomb he’s carrying around, which for his character has been nothing but a symbol of pain, harm, and self destruction. Coupled with Eret throwing away her own symbol of her past misdeeds along side him

#eret #wilbur soot #c!eret #c!wilbur #dream smp #dsmp #Dream smp spoilers #c!phil critical #discorse #mage talks #it's the ''I've tried to hard to get you back just to loose you again'' it's the recognition of self through the other #it's about not letting the past shatter the future #if it was a about the physical items like it was with Phil Eret would have let Wil toss the bow or the sword but it was about CHANGE #it was about the TNT specifically
