my greatest achievement in DA2 is maxing out Carver's friendship

and all it took was begrudgingly kissing a little templar ass in act 1 because Carver didn't want to plan a prison break if my Hawke got his ass arrested for being stupid.

#carver hawke #dragon age #dragon age 2 #da2 #well that and he didn't want leandra gamlen and himself to also get arrested for harboring an apostate but you get me #carver hawke loves his sibling and doesn't want them to get taken away that's why he's such an ass and approves of 'pro-templar' choices #in act 1 he's not pro-templar himself but kissing a little templar ass is how you avoid being arrested #'why yes cullen you are so right the templars are so cool and sexy' my hawke says through gritted teeth for that +5 friendship #look i love him okay he's my favorite and i will go the extra mile to make him happy and it's worth it for how much softer can be later on #honestly maxing out his friendship isn't hard if you're aware of what quests you're bringing him on and make him a grey warden #oh but you do need the legacy dlc otherwise you can't fully max friendship out... you can still get enough to change his dialogue/attitude #also like... we the player know hawke won't be arrested like they're not in any actual dangers from the templars as the playable character #but carver doesn't know that and neither does hawke so the templars *are* a real threat to them #and it's incredibly reckless to purposely piss off templars AND selfish because it's not just hawke that'll be arrested it's their family #for harboring them like we witness templars going after people hiding apostates soooo..... #i'm just saying that carver isn't irrational or just being an ass to personally annoy you okay he has cause #also once carver's a warden and ed has money and the estate THEN he's way more open about telling the templars to piss off #sigh one day i'll sit down and write an essay about carver.... one day

Yeah, people like to think that (adult) Jason’s snarky, cutting, and unapologetic post crisis characterization and the (mostly) “watered down”, docile personality he’s had from N52/rebirth onwards are irreconcilable, and that the shift was just an editorial decision with the intent of marketing him as a “likeable” hero.

While that last part might be true, have they considered that textually it makes perfect sense that being consistently in contact with an abuser just does that to a person. Wears them down until they feel like nothing but a husk, without any discernible direction or opinions of their own. If it isn’t completely burnt out yet, they (consciously or unconsciously) suppress that part of themselves that thinks independently either for self-preservation or to keep the peace. Considering anyone, even “mentally strong” people could fall victim to mental abuse, it’s actually pretty realistic imo.

#kelseethe #like what do you mean the shift ‘makes no sense’ #have you even met Bruce #he is a hell pit of darkness that sucks the life out of everyone who cares enough about him to put up with all of his problems #okay maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration but #even the most headstrong of people would wither away if they spent years trying to love and care for someone as volatile as him #that much is true #in other words I think Gotham war should be a wake up call for Jason and he should start doing everything in his power to fuck with Bruce #And then cut him off entirely #though nothing he could come up with would hold a candle to Bruce ‘God of torture’ Wayne #Bruce’s actions actually make perfect sense #You become so obsessed and fixated with torture and you genuinely glorify it #To the point that’s all you know how to do even when you’re trying to do good #this is magnificent I love it #and will continue to so long as Jason is fucking fuming after this #anyway even at his most extreme Jason was never a terrorist-level threat lol #like you know there’s a difference between #‘I'm going to do what I want and you're going to accept it. you can keep doing whatever it is you convince yourself is right though’ #and seeing someone who disagrees with you then spending years wanting and trying to destroy their ability to disagree as a whole #right? #and yikes. with the power and resources someone like Bruce has? so dangerous.

GIRL......................... suspension of disbelief I know but.

Obviously you can pick out a BUNCH of the dragons as that Is an ongoing trope (dragons aging differently than humans, so they can look younger than they "actually are") (also while I did try to avoid including them to make them more comparable to Nino, I think Flayn can fit in either category for the purposes of The Context -- esp cause her dragon blood is meant to be secret)

Not only do we have Heroes skewing younger (a lot fitting into another trope of What If There Was A Baby Sister) we also have Baby Banner. Where the whole point is they are baby.

LIKE....... maybe I'm speaking way too soon and maybe the whole point IS this will backfire LMFAO, but it IS absurd to be presented with her art (which, def still looks youthful!) and having her say yeah I can pass as a kidnapped child. Which COULD be true! But also what do you mean no one is going to know you're a part of the Heroes. Why is no one fighting her on this. Not even including the dragons there are like a handful of Heroes who fit into her exact vibe. Some even MORE baby than her.

#fire emblem #feh #and that's not even factoring in charas like nyx (who's whole thing is she 'looks younger' than she is) #which. tbh. i personally never saw even in fates. like. that's just a short small woman. they do exist. #and adding to that are the other charas who read as short small women to me like celine (before i knew her in-game age is 17) #and eitri #and also youthful charas who are treated as younger yes but also as full fledged adults in their own right. like lissa #(treatment mostly comes from chrom tbh which is understandable LMFAO) #OH and that's not even looking at all the second gen/child units from awakening/fates/other games that include that #which i think is just genealogy and thracia??? i'm not familiar enough w those titles though #also like. in general. a lot of fe charas who have official ages are teens. nino is 15. i think ike was like 16 in por???? #which like! still a kid! but also! idk even what the difference is. is it just that ones a sweet looking girl #and the other is a boy who was trained to kill for as long as he's been alive (very lovingly by the rare good dad in fe) #i mean. i guess that makes a difference. #OH MAN I COULD HAVE INCLUDED LYSITHEA INSTEAD OF FLAYN. ALSO fits the bill perfectly #VERONICA WAS 13 WHEN WE MET HER AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED TO BE A CATEGORY 10 THREAT #SORRY i'm nitpicking like crazy LMFAOOOO but like. the people of askr should not be fazed by anything anymore. #and you would think whoever is causing problems like bandits or what have you. you'd think they'd adapt. #SANAKI. ALSO. WHO IS WHY WE KNOW VERONICA'S AGE ROUGHLY IN THE FIRST PLACE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #okay i swear i'm done now. good by forevwr 👍 #fe nino

kinda fucked up that the jedi are written to have mind control powers that they apparently use often and casually on civilians with no oversight, and that the writers' justification for why this is acceptable good guy behavior is that it only works on the "weak-minded."

#star wars #jedi #"yeah they casually violate other beings' mental and physical autonomy on the reg'' #''but it's okay bc the people they use it on are r*tards :)'' #note that i'm not talking about OT obi-wan using mind-tricks to not get killed by stormtroopers. do whatcha gotta do #but using it on a random drug dealer who posed zero threat out of casual annoyance? kinda fucked up #also please: this is not an attack on your blorbo. it is a criticism of choices made by the writer(s) #idk just kind of seems to be an example of the moralization of intelligence #where not being clever enough is seen as a moral failing deserving of punishment/humiliation #whereas being clever gives you the authority to humiliate/control such people #anyway. wish star wars had smarter writers who wrote this being an actual point of contention in the jedi order ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Max didn't do this move, picking up her skateboard like this, while El was standing there in the street. and she didn't do it in the s2 scene when El knocked her down either. this is too familiar handling of a skateboard for someone who's never seen that done before.

El has watched Max skate a different time.

#elmax #hc: pretty soon after the end of 2 el started realizing max was actually okay and not a threat and felt sorta bad about knocking her down #and she would watch max skate when the group was hanging out #and max wiped out and could've been hurt really bad but el caught her inconspicuously enough that she thought it was just luck #and el figured that cancelled out the mean time and was just as good as an apology #so in her mind by this scene they are already square #meanwhile max has no idea about any aspect of any of this #mine #gifs

eugh am i the only one who gets a bit... iffy with this weird guiltrip??

‘reblog the post or else you are the WORST! what is this, a like??? you are literally spitting in OP’s face!’

like i GET it reblogs are suuuper important, but you won’t get people to do it by making them feel bad about themselves. tell why it’s good, don’t tell who they are if they don’t want to do it for whatever reason.

it’s their blog and they shouldn’t feel pressured to make it the way others want them to.

it’s cool to tell them how tumblr works, how people are here. without ordering them how to behave though.

#twitter #tumblr #i feel like people had enough pressure after twitter #with visible likes and following #tumblr is a nice comfy place to dig in #and not be an entertainer for others #i've seen the 'if you dont want your blog to have all the reblogs make a separate blog for it' #and OOF no oof dont dont tell them what they must and mustnt do #'go make a different one' reeeally irks me the wrong way #lf;dfklj i LOVE reblogs okay XD #but MAN threating people with 'YOU ARE A BAD PERSON' doesnt vibe with me #this is such a performative twitter thing pls

i also don’t think ‘security in your masculinity’ functions as a cure for violence against women. in fact, the cure is (put simply) compassion and empathy for women, the recognition that women are human beings, which is something masculinity is explicitly constructed against. because masculinity isn’t a biological reality, it’s a social construct defined against a feminine ‘other’ and associated with power. traits/behaviours/embodiment that one culture and time period associates with masculinity are associated with femininity in another.  In that context ‘security in your masculinity’ means... security that you don’t have to behave like [insert racialised/class-prejudiced portrayal of stereotypes male violence here] to preserve the privileges you expect to be surrounded by as a member of the dominant gender class. the irony in the ‘secure in my masculinity’ brag is that it makes the men with genuine cause to fear for their place in masculine hegemony (disabled men, gay men, trans men, men of colour, jewish men, immigrant men, working class men, etc) more of a threat than the men who are most secure within it. and now, under this framework, striving for inclusion within the privileged class, fighting to maintain its definitions, and subscribing to its values, is... feminist praxis?  and of course, in all of this, men’s experiences are centralised in the conversation of violence against women. violence against women becomes a tribal issue between groups of men, a.k.a 'feminist’ men are taking fundamentally the same perspective as the 3750 year old code of hammurabi.

#its so lazyyyyy #and when people are like im secure enough in my masculinity to paint my nails or whatever the whole thing really falls apart #like masculinity is a social construct #either youre saying 'im secure enough in my adherence to this social construct to occasionally divert from it' (thus legitimising the #construct) or you're just subscribing to a bioessentialist notion of some fundamental masculinity #that still protects you even when you aren't performing masculinity #like. stfu #i really dont know where these (almost invariably straight) guys think gnc people fit into this. chances are they dont think at all lol #and i love how he draws attention in that article to how often the implied 'insecure man' is working class and/or not white #because it's like yeah you're a threat in your struggle to secure power (and ofc marginalised men often DO hurt women around them in order #to do this) BUT the men who don't have to do this because..their power is already ultimate...are framed as the good guys #rather than. the even worse guys. #anyway as always compare butch masculinity with men's masculinity and you'll find masculinity is not just a neutral set of traits that #just randomly happen to be associated with men for no reason #okay anyway im done i dont care any more im breathing into a paper bag

You've been getting death threats? 😕 I'm so sorry that's happening to you. I fuxking hate antis man

Hi anon!

Thankfully not for a while now, but it does happen from time to time. I'm generally not targeted as much as some so I fly under the radar a lot, but I do filter out the majority of the hate and weirdness because I just don't see the point having it here / giving it a platform!

I hate how much damage abuse/bullying does, but I sadly can understand how people end up with fancop / anti mindsets, especially when young. It's very sort of logical to go from 'I hate pedophilia (or rape or incest)' (a normal response) to 'I hate anything that causes it (or rape or incest)' (a normal response) and then making an illogical leap to 'people who write about it in fiction deserve to die and I have a right to destroy them because they're basically as bad as the criminals because they create more criminals and are criminals themselves.'

It starts in the most logical place. And I gotta say, people love being able to hurt others under the banner of a sense of righteous anger. When you feel justified ethically, abusing others, you don't have to deal with shame or guilt in the same way as just targeting someone in highschool or college (or in the workplace). Instead you just get to profoundly dehumanise invisible folks in the internet, and feel like that's activism. That's disgusting, absolutely abhorrent, but I do understand how people get there.

I used to get a lot angrier about it on Twitter, and I still do sometimes, especially when I see the direct harm it causes our communities, when it suffocates creators (many of whom don't even want to draw or write this content, but just feel judged and starved out of fandom), or worse, destroys their lives. I'm very angry on behalf of the people who are scared to post fics or art etc. because of the antis in the fandom/s around them, because it's unfair, and it's hard to convince people to just 'post whatever you want' when it's realistic that some of those people will be abused for it.

So yeah, the hatred makes sense too. It's like...indefensible behaviour and so different to just having general NOTPs / squicks / not liking certain ships. But I do sometimes look at folks who take anti positions (especially the ones who don't realise they're doing it, because they're generally permissive of like 90% of stuff including a fair bit of problematic stuff except like One Thing they're triggered or squicked by), and think... 'You've been fearmongered into believing abusing real people is appropriate behaviour, and if you're lucky, you're one day going to have to deal with the shame and guilt that comes from knowing you've actively tried to destroy people's lives online, and have done harm to many vulnerable people in the process. That's going to be a hard journey for you, but if you make it through to the other side, you are going to feel so much better about yourself as a person, and so much less afraid of your own thoughts, and your intrusive thoughts, and it will be worth it, I promise.'

If they're unlucky, they never realise, and then we all pay the cost for someone who just lives in a state of moral panic forever :/

Anyway, for the most part I'm not really hurt by it personally because I a) have a background in university media studies and know that - scientifically speaking - antis are wrong about (nearly) everything they say, lmao, and b) can tell the difference between reality and fiction and know there's not a 1:1 correlation between the two, and c) I've experienced a lot of different kinds of abuse (sadly) and I can see most of it coming from a mile off these days and I'm not going to wear the shame and guilt people try to dump on me, because they're too juvenile or immature to process with and sit with their own discomfort that others are different to them and have different taboo fantasies to them.

Tl;dr anon - I'm doing okay! Antis do a lot of damage. I get where they're coming from but it never excuses their abuse. The hate they send doesn't really affect me these days, which might be why they started to leave me alone more sdalkjs

#asks and answers #purity wank #moral puritanism #there's been waves of it #some of the worst has been on twitter when i've actually stepped into threads of rabid antis to like #gently and academically challenge the outright lies and myths being spread like facts #and one day i was like #i just don't need to do this #especially when i saw that some proshippers there were also becoming very abusive and toxic towards antis #which is not the answer #death threats aren't okay no matter which side you're on #though again i can really understand it lmao #i retreated primarily to tumblr and i'm very careful re: how i curate my spaces #i think my fics are generally tagged well/thoroughly enough #that antis who stumble across it just don't bother #the only antis i meet the most these days #are people who don't know they're antis or carry some of the rhetoric #but use that rhetoric in like...AO3 comments or similar #and if that's the case i'll just gently point out what might be happening #i get so angry on behalf of others instead #fdsklajs but yeah i have had some crappy things happen over the years #but eh the vast vast vast vast majority of folks i meet online #are the very best of people

Spoilers for buddy daddies episode 10 (do not read if you haven't watched yet)

I just got a horrible thought: Imagine... Rei's father, wanting to test Rei's loyalty to the organization and "family" once and for all, gives him an assignment to finish. When Rei opens the file, he sees the targets. Unasaka Misaki and Unasaka Miri.

#we all know this isn't over yet #just because Miri isn't with them anymore doesn't mean she's safe #we've only seen two instances of them being followed and photographed in secret but it's already been some time since that happened #there's no way they weren't supervised any further #they know everything #they've seen it #Miri's existance is enough of a threat #as well as Kazuki's but the point is that she's away from them now and therefore an easy target #also coupled with the fact that the voice actors for Kazuki and Rei (Toyonaga and Uchiyama) mentioned being told that episode 9 #is the last “fluffy” episode #so yeah... these last episodes... they're going to be heavy too #because that bastard won't let Rei have any “loose ends” any piece of happiness when his purpose is to carry the Suwa name #i guess we'll see how this all unfolds... #but in any case prepare the tissues because we'll definitely be needing those #ugh this family..If anything happens to either of them i'm going to lose it but it will turn out okay in the end somehow they will protect #buddy daddies #buddy daddies spoilers

you know.. Dazai wasn't the first subordinate Mori pushed to join the agency..

#knowing why mori killed the last boss AND his time in the military AND beast #it doesn't make sense that he would pick up yosano to repeat his mistakes #sure he's still hung up on it #because it was considered great at the time #enough that it could have been considered a secret weapon to be locked away #but what does asigiri do with characters that are considered threats to society by a government? #he puts them where the government cant get them #ie the ada pm etc #the cannibalism arc and pre-vampire arc show us that mori and fukuzawa are aware that yosano is fed up with mori #its also interesting because when yosano and mori meet again they talk about the war #which gives me the feeling that they haven't really seen each other passed when mori broke her out #who the hell do you think could have tipped ranpo off that the break out was happening or that yosano even existed #okay im done #bsd #bungo sd #bungou stray dogs #my archive

Testing out CSP Assets hehehe

The city can be pretty beautiful with enough distance and a nice view.

Oh. I forgot what kind of story this was.

She ends up short circuiting the main terminals and letting it crash into a processing facility. Then she takes a stress nap and worsens her insomnia.

#sera in her big girl suit- one she designed herself for once #Reddish Burgundy has always been her favorite color #And the gold comes from the suit's integration with her weapon #There's a very specific reason why all of her weapons are made of that “gold” #One of the rare times you get to see her back for once #That big weaponized drone is an OVR-S; also known as overseer sentinels. They are the eyes in the sky keeping count of everything for OS. #They are rarely used for combat due to the size and inconvenience in battle #but certain exceptions are made for threats like Sera. #She took something far too important from the main OS to be left with all her limbs in one piece and a head full of eyeballs #No opportunities will be wasted. Sera hates these because they rarely have a pilot and often take ages to hack into. #plus they fail spectacularly #one crash from these ships is enough to destroy a city district- they're easily the size of a football field #Even worse yet are the rotary blades used to rudder the ships. They could easily slice her in half- armor and all #She has thankfully managed to avoid dying to them thus far. they usually end up crashing into the ocean and ruining variant imports #sentinels will usually monitor under a more advanced cloaking than the kind given to protected variants #Just under the cloud cover. Sera's cloaking functions the same way if not better thanks to her personal touches on it #Hers is a mix of both illusion and cloaking. in an emergency she could technically walk into a human space as long as she isn't touched #she would be okay unlike most variants who have trouble fitting in because of the city's mandated infrared cameras. #suffice to say there's a lot of things going on in this city that most people- humans and variants alike are none the wiser about. #ARK_SYSTEMA #Seraphinatag

like there is something so fucking weird about you babygirl, what is going ON

#sulla said 'your dead family members are your guard fuck off' and its like. well. there's a lot of dead people happening here #esp bc this text gets into a 'if you say it as a threat enough times (decimation) someone's going to ACTUALLY do it' #which was. crassus. and everyone AFTER him who does it has a negative success rate #its very. well. you speak of a ghost enough times its going to fucking show up #you're GOING to get someone who looks it in the face and goes 'okay' #good FUCKING grief
