“Fine, you want Loghain as a Warden so badly, then I’ll be leaving the Wardens to marry Anora.”

Everything had turned to ashes that day — a backward fairy tale. As Evangeline Cousland struggles to forget the past, a prisoner in the dungeon causes her to face her demons once more.

FEELINGS EVERYWHERE. Loved it!

Meh, I’m being a worry wart again.

Damn. Thank God it’s Sunday and I can sleep in.

Must distract myself with BioWare things.

hey guys

when I talk about my feelings/opinions a character/situations or why I have huge problems with specific plot points or storylines it is not about you or your characters or making you feel bad about them

I use “I” statements for a reason, I always say this is true for me

and for me i can’t ever identify with the privileged people in a setting and thus I can’t ever play as them. that has nothing to do with you or your characters and that doesn’t mean you’re bad and your characters are bad and I hate them or that they’re bad stories or that you’re playing your game wrong

it means i view the game through a different lens of experience, and I have to play it in a different way to enjoy myself, that’s all. i love you and your people and if I didn’t I would not be following you or reading your stories or enjoying your metas, ok?

and tbh I’ve had a lot of ppl completely dismiss my actual lived experiences as being irrelevant to how I feel about a game or try to sell me on why my gut feeling about something was wrong

so if I seem a lil shitty sometimes that would be why. i assure you it’s not intentional and it’s not about trying to make anyone feel bad

Can I just say something?

I respect you so much and I admit that sometimes I wish my metas were half as thought out and unique as yours.

I mean, my Canon Warden is a Cousland (I have been working on her Meta for over 3 years and I’m still not done), my Canon Shepard’s story is very much in accord with what the games gave us, including Thane’s death and the EC endings….(Katja went for Renegade Control and I am not sorry)

I sometimes felt guilty for enjoying ME3/DAII/DAO the way I do because several people I respect are so passionate about some of the things they rightly aren’t ok with…. I don’t feel that way anymore, most of the time anyway.

I just think that there are as many ways to RP our characters as there are sparks of imagination within us all. I love reading about the OCs you and others come up with and how you flesh out their backgrounds, their motivations, their relationships…everything, really.

Ah, forgive my rambling. I just wanted to add my 2 cents. This here is my bby girl. She loves you all too.

commanderbishoujo:

now that I think about it I wonder if some of that stinkeye toward Alistair/Zevran isn’t some Kaidan-esque pushback over the idea of the sweet adorable husbando to the female PC not being 100% red-blooded heterosexual male (and thus about weird misconceptions of what bisexual men are like, especially since Zevran is fairly stereotypical)

I’m not trying to say everyone’s about that or necessarily yelling biphobia here or claiming persecution about my ship

but it’s something that occurred to me

I’ve always liked that ship. Listening to their banters (Esp. the “lost” ones that were brought back through Ejoslin’s FANTASTIC Zevran Mod) I think there is quite a bit of chemistry there. And Alistair, though blushy and shy as he always is, isn’t opposed to it. (Listen to how he acts around Morrigan to see the difference)

I am exhausted.

I’ll play more Age Of Pirates 2 tomorrow.

Gonna get me some booty, oh yeah!

*Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

friendly reminder that when Alistair asks Morrigan as they enter Lothering, “you call that a choice?” we should remember he is unfamiliar with the concept. No one asked him if he wanted to go to the Chantry, if he wanted to be a templar or if he wanted to be a warden.✿◕‿◕✿

No one asked Morrigan if she wanted to be raised by an abusive mother either, or Zev if he wanted to be sold and tortured.✿◕‿◕✿

#it’s not all about precious alibear goodness gracious

And besides: Alistair wanted to be a Warden. This is the only thing in his life he was able to choose for himself so far. Which is why he takes such a  pride in it. Duncan’s conscription was only because the Chantry didn’t to let him go.  

I can’t even with that friendly reminder.

Urgh.

Folks, stop reducing Alistair to a kicked puppy. You’re doing him a disservice and you are selling him short.

Awesome commentary here.

And what if Cinders sequel happened in autumn?

You guys, don’t tease me. BioWare is already……oh…

The game being SET in the autumnal season?

Damn, I want it NOW! XD

“You wanted to die then….” The conclusion had come naturally, unbidden and unwanted. “I wanted you to live. Can it not be that simple?” A bitter smile crossed her lips. “No, of course not, nothing with you ever is. Or should I say that nothing with us ever is?” One of her hands slid on top of his, intertwining their fingers in a powerful grip. “I do not want another follower looking up to me for guidance or leadership. I am unfit to lead a party of misfits, let alone an entire army.” With that, she pulled him up, guiding his hand to his chest. “What dwells within here is a stout Fereldan heart of old, a person I have known all my life. I am not losing anyone else to this Maker forsaken Blight. And if you can see no reason in my saving your life, I will live with that. For I would rather have you alive for me and Ferelden both than dead for nothing.”

“You were willing to give up so much….” Clearly overcome and unused to the idea, Loghain stroked her cheek with the thumb and index finger of his free hand, all his bitter sarcasm at Maric’s whelp evaporating at her sincerity for this fragment of a moment where it did not matter.

“Hush, for I gave up nothing that was worth keeping at such a cost.” Eyes filled with emotion sparkled up at him, her face radiant with belief and confidence. Yet there was a flaw to this perfection, a shade that loomed nearer and nearer as time passed. A shade he had first encountered upon watching his mother raped and killed by the Orlesians. (The Path Of Thorns, A One Shot set in the “The Edge Of The Grey Enigma” universe.)
