I pretty much have resigned myself to just not being able to look up any DragonAge videos on YouTube. Curious about a specific scene? Nope. Gonna have to wade through "THIS IS THE CRINGIEST DIALOGUE" with a screencap of Taash. It can literally have nothing to do with what I even looked for. Are folks still this upset over that? There's enough ragebait out there as it is, but at this point its just goofy.
Reblog to kiss her freckles <3
Taash smiles
i feel like i would be fixed if i could just sit and listen to taash infodump about dragons for four hours while i nap. preferably while cuddling. that would make me whole i think
VEILGUARD ACRYLIC CHARMS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW!! 🎉
I finished my Veilguard charms awhile ago but I've been dealing with a pretty significant and scary family emergency for the past few weeks so I haven't had a chance to really post about them. Any help in spreading the word would be much appreciated! 🙏
The pre-order for these bad boys is likely gonna end before the new year and I don't know that I'll have very much in-hand stock so if you want one now is your chance!! I'm also offering very limited spots for custom character charms, so if you're interested in getting merch of your Rook or Inquisitor... đź‘€ I wanna meet them!
P.S. NO one has bought Neve, Bellara, or Taash yet :,) please just one person adopt them 🙏 I worked so hard on their art and also Neve was my first DATV romance so I'm extra :,))) about her!!!
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?
Ya'll have noticed that nobody seems to be upset about the non-binary mayor of Treviso or Maevaris, right? The medic at the Warden Camp? Why is Taash getting all the flack for something already in the game with other characters?
Taash is non-white coded (I will die on that hill.)
Taash pushes back against the 'don't ask, don't tell' idea that queer folks shouldn't be "shoving it in your face."
Racism, Ableism & Homophobia and the inability to figure out or conceptualize nuance.
That's it. That's the post.
not to be dramatic or anything but this makes me wanna commit crimes
DAV is about trauma, bonds, and the importance of found family. It's not about Rook having a harem.
If you're unable to see adults work through their issues like people with emotional maturity beyond what a teenager would have (don't you even start if you're gonna throw shade at Taash) and have that make sense to you-- get therapy.
That's not an insult. Like, therapy helps you navigate your own emotions. How to support other people's emotions. How to see value in your beliefs even if they don't quite make sense to you. Even if you've been hurt. It's about everyone bringing uniqueness and value to a team through only what THEY can offer.
It's okay to have phobias. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to see a different future than what you thought was set out for you. It's okay to claim a new identity for yourself. To fight for family and subsequently let them go even when you don't want to. To accept familial trauma and move to change it. To let yourself be vulnerable and accept love, even if you're scared of losing it.
Get the fuck over book club and realize that is a throwaway joke to make you laugh at how goofy the companions can be. Jesus.
I think where the “you’re just mad people are critiquing a game you like” crowd gets me the most is that I’ve read all their critiques. I was legitimately surprised on my first run that some people took Veilguard so personally and were vitriolic so I went through and read what they were saying because I was like “what did I miss?” That’s my first instinct when something confuses me is to dig. (Oh hey I applied this to the game too! Crazy!)
And when I started breaking down what they were saying was when I started getting annoyed because their arguments were either in such bad faith, reductive, or just plain wrong. Like Orientalism in the game? Fair! But I have not seen talk of that get anywhere near the amount of traction as “Solas should have torn down the Veil and him and Lavellan should have had elf supremacy together and they didn’t so game bad.” “I missed a bunch of stuff then blamed BioWare.” Or “I didn’t like how it played out so writing bad.” Or “They didn’t say the Maker enough and I counted.” That last one is my favorite. Oh and “the language is too modern” and they’re specifically talking about Taash because they don’t want to admit nonbinary people make them uncomfortable.
But wow I don’t see that energy from the other side at all. I don’t see them even trying to understand or read why people like the game. I try to encourage people to read your meta write ups as well as my own and they either just want to pick a fight because I have the audacity to love the game rather than hear me out or step outside of that negativity for like two seconds. Here we are two months later and they’re still acting like Veilguard broke into their house and beat them up and stole their sixty bucks then took a piss on the old games.
Y’all seen these videos
normal people going through a gender identity crisis: [to a trusted person] .....so i think i might be trans
taash dragon age going through a gender identity crisis: [to a heavily traumatized coworker] nice clothes, loser! are you wearing them to impress your mother????
Harding: This is a weird question, but do you think I could sit on your shoulders in battle one day? Taash: Why? Harding: I could shoot at people. And you could axe them. We'd be walking artillery. Unstoppable. Taash: Oh. Ohhhh. Yes.
Dear everyone who is currently working on a Thing, whatever that Thing may be,
Good luck with the Thing. You can do the Thing. You will do the Thing. You just have to do the Thing.
Best wishes,
Someone who is also doing a Thing
Half the queer fandom being frothingly mad at the idea that the game unapologetically uses the words "trans" and "nonbinary" for their characters... While the other half compares Mary Kirby to JK Rowling for confirming what some people already suspected about her demisexual character though it's not verbally stated onscreen...
Like... Like.
I'm laughing through my tears.
If you are any sort of queer writer? Writing from an authentically queer perspective? Don't forget! There's no actual right perfect acceptable way to do rep and that is obviously YOUR FAULT. Whatever you choose, everyone knows you did it with malicious intent and could've done better but chose not to. And that's on you, babe! Prepare to be demonized by your own community until you die
A Plea for Hope: Ibrahim Almoghani’s Fight for Survival
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #220 )✅️
I'm Ibrahim Almughanni. I once dreamed of a peaceful, prosperous future for my family, but those dreams were shattered by the unrelenting horrors of war.
I am a husband and a father to three beautiful children:
Toleen, who is 9 years old
Wateen, who is 6
and Tayseer, who is just 4.
The Day Our Lives Shattered
I remember the day vividly—explosions began in the distance, growing into a deafening roar. Smoke and fear engulfed us as we watched our neighbors flee in terror. We grabbed our children and ran, pushing through a sea of panic until we could run no more.
Finding Refuge Amid Desperation
We found temporary shelter in a classroom turned into a makeshift refuge. The walls were bare, the air thick with fear. Surrounded by other displaced families, we shared a profound sense of loss.
The Heavy Burden of Loss
I lost my home—my sanctuary—now reduced to rubble. My workshop, where I built my life as a blacksmith, was completely destroyed. I lost not only my tools and savings but also my livelihood. The deepest wound is the loss of hope: the hope that my children could thrive, free from fear.
Daily Struggles for Survival
We are caught in a cycle of survival. Food is scarce, and basic necessities are out of reach. In our overcrowded shelter, we cling to each other for comfort. The worry and fear in my family’s eyes are constant reminders of our daily struggle.
A Heartfelt Call for Help
We need your help to provide basic necessities and safety for our family. Every dollar you donate is a vital lifeline—a warm meal, a respite from hunger, a step towards rebuilding our lives.
The Power of Your Support
My story is one of loss and survival, but also of hope. With your support, we can start rebuilding and find a way out of this darkness.
