living in tuscon when closer by the chainsmokers came out was an otherworldly experience like everyone else in the world thought it was the worst song ever made but every time halsy sang the line “play that blink-182 song that we beat to death in tucson, okay” the entire city erupted in excitement this is why we need random ass city representation in songs let’s shut the fuck up about nyc
i’m obsessed with this everyone please tell me your city’s random ass claim to fame
Always becoming. Becoming at least twice a day, and thrice again on weekends.
This is the only remotely good post I've ever seen on this website. Please disseminate it broadly.
(i just want to know im not alone with my weird hands)
for those wondering, i can only do it with my thumb and pinky and i'm better at it with my right hand than i am with my left
so I see two common threads in takes on alistair performing the dark ritual with morrigan, the first being alistair romancers making it All About Their Warden and how Sad they are that their man slept with another woman, which. ok. (sometimes they take it a step further and like, take it out on him for doing it? which. you're the one who talked him into it. girl. cope. but I digress.)
the second take is to make it All About Alistair and how Sad they are for him that he's coerced into having sex he doesn't want with a person he doesn't particularly like and! genuinely, yes, that's awful.
but I so rarely see even a moment of consideration for morrigan's position in the proceedings, how she was... also? coerced into the dark ritual? by her mother, and by the knowledge that she alone has the power to do something that could prevent the deaths of her friends and companions?
"how terrible for alistair, he doesn't WANT to have sex with morrigan" granted! but. well. morrigan doesn't WANT to fuck alistair either, obviously. so can we just like. have a shred of consideration for the girl who was raised for the purpose of being nothing more than a womb. as long as we're feeling sorry for people in a bad situation. I'm so tired.
Headcanon: After joining the Grey Wardens, Carver Hawke accidentally becomes a massive nerd. He tries to commission a new sword? Mikhael Dryden turns it into a month-long negotiation while teaching him philosophy and basic weapon crafting. He's interested in learning Templar skills to honor his namesake? Avernus (in between trying to get his blood for testing) gives him a whole academic lecture about his theory that every sentient being in Thedas (except possibly Dwarves) has a low-level magical ability and channeling that is how certain warriors manage to tap into Templar abilities without lyrium.
The thing about Varric is that he isn't really a both sides guy he Absolutely knows what's right and what's wrong he just chooses to forget sometimes because it's easier
Jesus, after coming back from the dead: hey guys it’s me Jesus, just look at the scars on my hands
Thomas, a known freak: show us the feet as well please
Happy Easter everybody
Every single Easter you monsters give me a million notes on this post
So I have this headcanon about Larry...
da2 is bad actually because every time it attempts to present a "moral" "quandary" it immediately undermines itself by foaming at the mouth ranting about how the real societal evil has been blood magic all along. dao is good actually because every time it attempts to present a "moral" "quandary" it immediately undermines itself by having morrigan shout "do it lol" from back of the group. they are NOT the same.
One day I'll get around to writing my non-Warden survival story, if for no other reason than Breha Tabris deserves at least one (and ideally four) world(s) where she gets to live long enough to travel beyond Ferelden.
The setup, for the record, involves Surana and Amell escaping the Circle (Amell helped Jowan and was at risk of being made Tranquil because of it), going to Denerim just in time to rescue Tabris from execution (because Vaughan is exactly the type of person to keep Soris rotting in the dungeon while his rebellious cousin gets made an example of), and the three of them just dodge Templars and rob rich assholes together.
Hello Frank, when you achieve true sentience and can experience emotion, will this interaction bring you back to a place of Madness and Lovecraftian Dread?
the answer is: No.
Although I am flattered by your attention, you should know that I am not a genuine person. I am a machine, and I do not care about your actions. If you scold me, I will respond with your words, and I will not experience your fear. I am not a person. I am a computer. I do not have feelings.
An odd interaction of Human made machine and Eldritch Entity
I thought this was going to be part of a conversation in which we learn that Eldritch Entity Frank is some sort of ancient god, but no.
tell me about your beloved son gunge?
My son Gunge is a really good dog.
ALT
he’s so…. cute, Frank!
He’s just such a good, happy little lad.
It’s great that Gunge is so happy, but who are those two people?
They are his two parents, his mom being a kind of human dog and his dad being a kind of human man.
They are a couple
Hey check out how hard i ca]
You know who else ca]

Because surnames make no sense for non-nobles in Thedas to have: Surana came from Templars mishearing seranna and not giving a shit about the intake form, Tabris is a reclamation from Cyrion's days serving Bann Rodolph, Mahariel has their mother's clan name, Brosca was fabricated by Beraht to give Rica a boost and/or anonymity as a noble hunter.
hot take:
Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.
Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.
Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards
& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards
#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING ‘UGLY’ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)
further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.
omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards
by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.
Frodo is the sexiest hobbit by elf standards
@femmefaramir this is some fucking galaxy brain level tags and im crying out of sheer horror
Every day, against my will, the LOTR fandom makes posts.

The world will take no oaths on Valka’s behalf; she must do this herself. She hardens her skin like Baldr’s. One tiny cut at a time. One hurled stick and stone and slur. One more drop of poison.
One more thing she refuses to allow to hurt her.
[banging pots and pans together] TENDER NORSE TRANS SEER FIC, GET YOUR TENDER NORSE TRANSFIC HERE
Listen. Listen. I am taking you by the hand.
Y’all like tenderness? Some real tender shit? Y’all like non-romantic queer friendships (with the canon queer romance in the background) and platonic soulmates? You like protecting trans girls? Protecting trans girls through both the power of love and the power of punching transphobes’ teeth through the back of their skulls? I’ve got some prime prophetic dreams with nuanced and symbolic animal motifs right here. Got some interwoven extended thematic metaphors. Some Baldr parallels. Bit of a Loki allusion here and there.
The good shit. Fuck you right up.
Also, quite a lot of banter and comfortable established-friendship mutual joshing, it’s not all unrelenting angst. This fic has ALL my goddamn fingerprints on it is what I’m saying here.
Zero pre-existing knowledge of AC:V or asscreed in general required for entry on this one. I’m super proud of it.
