hi guys i apologize in advance but if you will allow me to be unhinged about characters for a moment. i have some. thoughts. about -you guessed it- tactical officer lieutenant felix gaeta of the battlestar galactica. 

i just. the mutiny arc gets me on so many levels because. it’s not a villain arc. i’ve seen in called that, but i respectfully disagree. it is simply a decision made- quite tactically may i add - by someone who has had to beg lie and kill his way out of every level of hell and is trying to prevent further disaster and despair. no, it is not perfectly executed. yes, there probably could have been another way. 

and here’s the thing: i don’t think it’s about the cylons. yes, they are a part of it; this is a man who witnessed the shitshow that was new caprica firsthand after all. but i think beyond that it is largely about faith and trust. think about it. gaeta has served in the colonial fleet for seven years. he has believed in it, he has lost everything to it because he has given everything to it. and that’s why he’s doing this! he believes in the idea still, but he can’t say the same about the people anymore. he trusted in baltar’s campaign, but he saw that crumble to dust within an instant. he was in charge of all that, probably did more in the political department than baltar ever did. and they blamed it all on him in the end. just look at Collaborators. they all agree that it was him handling things. he carries the weight of that. he put faith and hope in his Eight, only to find out much later that she had betrayed him. and she blamed it on him. she blamed it on his oh-so-human trust, his hope and his love. 

and now we get to the final five. there was too much going on for the show to truly explore how members of the fleet felt about that reveal, but... it’s tigh, who felix has served under for years, who has been something of a constant, part of the leadership duo he has followed for so long. it’s sam, who... well, shot him. not much else to say there. but it’s also the chief, who cut him some slack and was kind to him when no one else was after new caprica. these are people he has known, cared about, and trusted. he wants to trust them. and they give the fleet earth! which turns out to be a nuclear wasteland where home should have been. EARTH. KILLED. DEE. and yes, he could just go back to trusting that the leadership will take care of it, that they will find a way, but... the president has basically gone missing in action, and is not acting herself. there doesn’t seem to be anything left to hope for. and felix... he can’t put that kind of trust in someone else anymore. not after everything it’s done to him. he has only one thing left to give to this cause: himself. he has to at least try. trust in himself for once. do something himself. he could never do enough before, but maybe, maybe this time... 

his biggest crime, in the eyes of others, was that he didn’t simply break and die. that’s not who he is. 

im just. im so. im absolutely devastated by his character arc. 

OH AND I CAN’T GET OVER THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT MUST HAVE DONE TO EVERYONE WHO CARED ABOUT HIM. like. adama and tigh both cared about him a lot (adama calling him a good kid and worrying that he’ll never see him again with the demetrius mission, the way tigh says ‘so who shot gaeta??’ with such genuine accusation, and tries to get him to get some proper sleep in face of the enemy). helo, who had such a lovely friendship with him. HOSHI. don’t get me started on hoshi. i might cry.

Danny never thought he would enjoy the sidekick/mentee lifestyle but Kori was really cool. She was a adult but she still listened to him and made intelligent, competent and compassionate choices that were genuinely in his best interest. Danny hadn't known adults like that existed.

Starfire was kinda wierd for a ghost though. Phantom couldn't seem to pin down what her obsession was but he guessed that was fine so long as "The Princess of Tamaran" didn't hurt anyone. Plus, not only was she a ghost, she was an alien ghost! Like from a whole other planet and everything!

Aka Starfire gets booted from the DC universe and wanders in to Dannys via Vlads ghost portal. Vlad attacks her and Starfire beats him up, destroying a lot of his visibly unethical stuff, ect. Danny has been her fan ever since.

She did clarify that she was an alien but Danny assumes she's an alien ghost due to her coming from the ghost zone and having some ghost like powers.

Misunderstandings ensue

N7 day is around the corner. I am not expecting any substantial news at all, honestly. Bioware is a shell of what it used to be and I have very little expectations. All I want is that the companions were happy over these long years. I would even swallow my jealousy if they end up pairing Garrus and Tali as canon, as long as they are happy.

I poke fun of the guys but I adore them. Anders and Astarion especially, they mean a great deal to me. My muse, my inspiration, my love.

man playing a dragon age game as an abomination would rock so tremendously tho. you're a possessed person and you have to play as two characters making up one person and balance it out so one half of the equation doesn't swallow the other half. maybe you could choose what kind of spirit at the beginning of the game and it would count as your class basically. It Would Be Cool

#manifesting anders simulator 2023 as we speak #dragon age #I love this specific flavour of the mind sharing trope so much and I think it would be super cool in dragon age specifically #wynne seems to have had a pretty chill time of it with her spirit and the avvar have their whole deal #so clearly it's not an automatic doom and gloom situation (though it would be super sexy if it COULD end super badly for you) #I guess this is technically a little bit of what mass effect andromeda is about fhskjfhsa #SAM is the friendly neighbourhood spirit who lives in ryder's brain (and turns off their heart also. he can also do that.)

Me and @orbitalpirate were talking about who on the team is the subbiest sub and who is the dommest dom. And decided to take it to the experts: y’all. So we’re doing two tournaments!

This post is to find AFC Richmond’s subbiest sub. (Dommest dom.)

Things to note:

Technically Will isn’t a player but we cannot leave someone so important off the list!

You’ll note that not everyone is on this list. Some people just have too much Dom energy to even include. (Not enough space, sacrifices were made).

The other tournament will feature a lot of these names too! Team has to have some switches for sure 😘

We tried to make first round match ups more even by largely keeping it first team v first team and second team v second team. We are pitching like energies against like energies wherever possible rather than risk it being a popularity contest where reserves aren’t as well known!

The polls will be linked below.

They last for one week.

Each individual post will have pictures of each player facing off for ease! And you’ll be able to click on player’s names to link to their wiki entry as well!

Round One

Jeff (21) v Jamie (240) = 261 votes

Kukoč (33) v Bhargava (47) = 80 votes

Anders (51) v Declan (36) = 87 votes

Moe (88) v Richard (118) = 206 votes

Colin (103) v Arlo (13) = 116 votes

Tommy (32) v Robbie (50) = 82 votes

Sam (102) v Dani (71) = 173

Thierry (20) v Will (89) = 109

1,114 total votes were cast!

Replaying Fallout New Vegas after watching Critical Role is so funny because Laura and Liam voice so many characters in that game and I’ll never unhear it now

#Just ran into Anders and it caught me off guard when I realized he is Liam too XD #I’m pretty sure sam is in it too #I’ll look it up after I finish it again #critical role #fallout new vegas #laura bailey #liam o'brien

So how do you envision Anders reacting to the news of the Circles being dissolved in a DivineLeliana world state?

Whenever I think about Anders reacting to the abolition of the Circles under Leliana as Divine Victoria, my mind always goes back to this fan comic by hanatsuki89. I picture Anders reading the missive with trembling hands and tears in his eyes, collapsing to his knees in palpable relief — finally, after fighting for so long, his people can live in safety and freedom.

From then on, I think Anders would be a bit dazed and unsure on what to do next. He had been running from, hiding from, and fighting the Chantry for so long — and even if he had been dreaming of the day he doesn't have to anymore — he realizes he doesn't know how to live any other way.

In all my world states, Anders is beloved by his friends from Kirkwall and in the Wardens, so he has no shortage of places to seek refuge after the destruction of the Kirkwall Chantry. When the news reaches him, I picture him among friends who would support him as he slowly rebuilds his life in a world without Templars. In a world state where he is in a relationship with Hawke, this also means rebuilding his shared life alongside Hawke, and being able to live openly with them without fearing for Hawke's safety. It's a slow process but eventually he gets to a place of where he feels safe and healed, one small step at a time (ex-Circle mages rebuilding their lives after the abolition of Circles makes me think about the lyrics of this song, 'One Foot In Front of the Other' by Emilie Autumn).

To be honest, I get a tad emotional when I think about Anders hearing about Divine Victoria's edict to abolish the Circles, because his "ten years, a hundred years from now" line when romanced carries so much more weight. His and Hawke's love literally changed the world for the better. I want Anders to live to see the sunrise he nearly burnt himself out to make because there's a satisfying conclusion and emotional payoff after going through so much struggle. Stories of hope winning over despair really resonate with me, and that's what I want Anders' story to be about: hope.

Thank you for the ask, anon! 🥰 This is a really great question. 💖
