Dear Everyone Who Is Currently Working On A Thing, Whatever That Thing May Be,

I would love love LOVE it if Taash wasn’t constantly misgendered!!! It’s genuinely really fucking insane that MONTHS after Veilguard has been released and people STILL can’t get it right.

Deadass i literally don’t care whether or not anyone here even likes Taash, but the BARE MINIMUM is to use their correct pronouns.

Apologies for sounding so angry about it but like I’m beyond tired of seeing it, especially since Taash is one of my favorite Dragon Age characters.

I've come far enough in DaV to have all companions and I don't get why so many people are upset with Taash's writing.

Y'all rave about having queer characters in the game, but as soon as a queer character isn't kissing everyone's ass 24/7 they're suddenly badly written?

If anything, Taash is perfectly written for being a baby trans who's discovering themselves. I sure was 10 times more difficult when I had my own self-discovery period.

I've also seen people whinge about that "Nobody likes being a woman" line.

Yeah, because Taash is forcing themselves into the woman mold and don't realize they're allwed not to. And they're assuming everyone feels the same because it's not like they've had discussions about it with anyone.

Misunderstand me not, there's been a lot of valid criticism of DaV, but Taash not being a trans character that is palatable to cis people is not it.

Ahh, I remember the day when I decided that my Rook and all of my future Rooks were going to romance Taash.

Taash smiles

huge fan of how whenever you try to address that the trend of black characters consistently being seen as less attractive and interesting due to traits that people famously laud white characters over is a systemic occurrence and even if you don't realize this about yourself it's important to recognize the pattern there will always without fail be at least 30 different chucklefucks going "so true i just didn't like him because i like this white character more but you're so right 🥰" it's awesome actually

Anyway I had a dream last night that there was a part in the Taash romance where they decided that the Veilguard wasn’t killing enough gods. They asked Rook to go scrounge up an extra god to take down. Why limit ourselves to two, after all?? My Rook was very amenable to the request!

I didn’t even question that this isn’t canon for a good half hour after I woke up

drives me INSANE to see people insisting taash should use aqun-athlok instead of non-binary. aqun-athlok is a qunari term that means born of one gender but living as another. The qunari who believe if you're a warrior you must be a man. The qunari who gender lock all their roles in society. You're telling me in good faith that these people would in any way recognize someone not being a man or woman. Do you think they've got nonbinary jobs? Yeah men fight women teach and nonbinary people make salami? Are you hearing yourself rn?

By the way

I hope every person who uses a mod to remove a single one of her sweet, adorable freckles spends the rest of their lives unexpectedly stepping on legos.

My first Rook just wanted to be the meat in a RowanTaash sandwich. 😜

not to be dramatic or anything but this makes me wanna commit crimes
