Tragically Anders clothes don't ripp and Fenris doesn't compare to Wolverine's badassry in my book

*gasp* The damn thing never rips that's true! I just prefer messed-up-superheroes comparisons to sparkling vampire teenagers for example

@highcastle: Awww that's true the poor thing, I don't know if I should kiss him or mother him now. I'm suddenly reminded of a Placebo song: I'll be your father, I'll be your mother, I'll be your lover, I'll be yours. 

True enough.  As I like to compare Anders to Batman or Punisher.  Sadly Esward does fit him, in the skeleton aspect of.  but what fleshes them out is completely different.  Truly her books could have gone some where but she fell short in the delivery as I am told.  I didn't read them, because I soon as I was told they could walk in the sun I was done.  

Edit for top, and sorry if I stepped on toes.

Doesn't that mean they are doomed to have children then? I'm pretty sure they have all of the above nicely covered. They are the perfect model of doomed Thedan parents.

Well, it's a good thing my Hawke and Anders aren't in any danger of that, unless they fall victim to some blood magic ritual

@Triplight: I just learned a new phrase today!

That's why it's all the more likely to happen. It would just be all the more screwed up. Anders will finally use blood magic just so Hawke can have his abomination butt babies.

Really? He really ****ed up with the DR and Witch Hunt, then.

Granted, he didn't say "never include it ever", just "why we chose not to include it in DA2".

You know because of you lot, I wouldn't have heard of the term "U-Haul Lesbian" still. But it does aptly describe Anders, lol.

It really does, doesn't it? Oh, Anders.

Thankfully, I had Carver in my party and never heard that once.

I choose to pretend the daddy issues are not there.

Embrace the daddy issues!

My poor Hawke is a piece of work.

I love DaddyIssues!Hawke. My personal vision of Hawke (especially as a mage) is someone trying to take care of his family while being a complete badass just like Daddy. And he fails miserably on the first count, at least. Trying and failing to live up to internal expectations can make for a very compelling narrative.

Wynne: lived in a barn until she got caught by templars or something. idek, she talks too much.

LOL

I got to the point where I wanted a mod to change every dialogue tree with her to

1. "Griffons?"
2. "Griffons!"
3. "You're old, lady."
4. "jfc, shut up."

Get Duncan to yell at you in the Mage Origin, I replayed and selected every dialogue option up until he died so he could keep talking angry to me.

I haven't read the books either, but to be fair, original vampire lore says nothing about burning in the sun. Even Dracula walked around in the daylight, he just didn't have access to his special powers. The burning in the sunlight was an invention of Hollywood. The director of Nosferatu thought it would look cool. It's since become taken as "truth" in most modern vampire fiction. So...yeah. I hope this random bit of trivia served somebody well, because it's been kicking around in my head for Maker knows how long.

And if you can't live up to your daddy, you might as well find someone who reminds you of him so you can enter into an extremely codependant homosexual relationship and allow him to freely take advantage of you !!!!

Well, since she was not sure how to make it work, she simply stated that her vampires needed to live in cloudy, rainy places. That's all. Because, as we all know, they glitter in the sun and they could be spotted.
I would have preferred "they are so strong they totally don't fear anything", at least some coherence.

Also, my Hawkes want to believe Bethany said that just because Anders was an apostate on the run too, like her father. They are in denial.

So Anders is Edward then? I always wondered who's meant to be who

Oh I had a really good friend of mine with an awesome taste in books recommend them to me and they sounded really awesome I was really excited. I think I just didn't relate to Bella at all and that made the story extremely boring - I generally need more in the plot than just silly love drama or just drama for the sake of drama in general. Maybe I'm just too old for the books *shrug* 
And possibly the fact that I love some of Anne Rice's books didn't help - Twilight just felt simple next to them. And jeez I wonder what Nosferatu didn't influence in modern cinema.

Yeah, I got no defense for the glittering BS. I would have accepted the "they can't use their powers (if they have any, not sure on that one)" or "they're not as strong in the sun." The halfway-decent-once-it-found-its-own-voice-and-stopped-trying-to-rip-off-Angel show Moonlight had vampires who were gradually weakened by the sun and they made it work. They didn't glitter, though. I just don't think you can make glittering badass.

As for the Bethany line, I've never gotten it since I always play mage!Hawke. I think it'd be interesting if Carver were to bring it up, too, though. Dating someone just like your father, isn't that a nightmare we've all had...or maybe that's just me.

This so hard, I read Interview with a Vampire, Queen of the Damned, Memnoch the Devil etc.....and then I read like two pages of Twilight....it was like going from the Golden City to a PortaPotty at a construction site just being entered by a worker who had bratwurst with saurkraut .

The problem with the sparkling is that she basically removed all of the downsides to being a vampire. I mean, it's not like vampires HAVE to burn in the sun, but if half the tension of your series is about your Mary Sue self-insert wanting to be turned into a vampire while her limp-wristed ineffectual boyfriend moans and groans about how it's the worst thing ever and he couldn't bring himself to doom her soul for all of eternity, there has to be... something. The most there was was the month long, temporary bloodlust feeding frenzy phase which... Bella conveniently doesn't even go through. There was really nothing at all to be reluctant about.

Nicely summed up. And you know what pissed me off too? Hey I am basically immortal, gorgeous and can read minds, I can go anywhere and do anything I want, I could probably change the world for the better. But you know what? I think I will just keep going to high school over and over again for the next 100 years, yeah, that sounds like an awesome use of my time... really?

Is that the first time you've seen a Mr. Darcy spoof comic? I think there is a version of that comic for every male character in existence.

That's been used as the basis for a lot of reworkings, I'm surprised you've not seen it before. Most are just straight up rips of the original, though.

I'm rather staggeringly ignorant as to many aspects of "fandom" that would seem obvious to others.

This is partially intentional.

I like "Hark a Vagrant" because I'm a history nerd.

I like Ron Swanson and Fat Apollo as avatars equally. But Sheryl Chee is a fan of Fat Apollo. Find a Bioware person who likes Ron Swanson more and my entire avatar selection process will be thrown into chaos!
