the “distract the grand cleric” quest is so silly it still makes me laugh. like i think there are ways to make it work in your head if having an arranged conversation with the champion involves an actual movement of people and sitting down to a discussion, maybe even moving her and the bulk of her watchdogs out of the chantry entirely, but the idea that hawke just goes to chat to elthina personally and anders sneaks past with an armful of explosives and the pink panther theme playing because i guess elthina, personally, is the one watching

MINI GUIDE TO LOCS
Newer locs usually need to be washed every 1 to 2 weeks. If you wash them more, it can lead to dryness, itchiness, breakage or flakiness. After your locs have matured, regular washing is okay (make sure to use residue-free shampoo!)
Moisturise regularly, as dry locs can lead to breakage. However, using heavy products can create build-up. Be vigilant with how much product you’re putting in your hair.
Be gentle with your locs when styling or retwisting. Excessive touching, pulling twisting of locs can cause thinning or breakage.
Try to reduce exposed friction to your locs. Sleep with a silk bonnet, avoid stressing hairstyles, wear headbands during physical activities and don’t re-twist frequently.
Drink water and maintain a healthy diet. Sometimes, the food you eat can reflect the quality of your hair. There are plenty of foods out there that support hair growth.
When drying your locs, avoid heat. Instead, try to squeeze excess water from each section of your hair, then wrap it in a microfibre tower. Drying locs incorrectly can cause mould or odour.
Be aware of what is in your products. Lean towards products created with natural hair in mind while actively avoiding sulphates, parabens and mineral oil as they can dehydrate your hair.
Been meaning to write this for a while, but representation is severely lacking in video games and one of the things that bothers me the most is option of Afro-centric hairstyles.
there's something so interesting about writing specifically in the genre of horror and tragedy on ao3, a space where the convention is to describe your story via its tropes rather than its genre.
if it's going to end miserably, you often know at the outset in a way that isn't quite like many other ways of experiencing a story, and that's Interesting!
much like the concept of fic itself, you're entering the story knowing the characters and a general plan of the setting, even if the writer's dropped you entirely in medias res and let you read from someplace in the middle. but that worry is already built at the outset, a ratcheting line of checkmarks to be ticked as you read forwards.
...now, I wonder if there's any way to purposefully leverage that to build Dread in the reader's mind even before you begin your tale...
