Loki or the bad boy/evil genius types do nothing for me. I do like Tom Hiddleston though.

 

I don't like Loki because he's a bad boy/evil genius but because I genuinely want to give him a hug.  He's the Asgardian version of a nerd surrounded by jocks and it's so clear that he doesn't have any friends outside of Thor (and Thor's friends only put up with him because he's Thor's little brother).  His dad is basically going for every Worst Father Of The Year Award ever and everything he does in the first Thor movie is a horribly misguided attempt at getting his dad to give him just the tiniest bit of love.

Sorry, I'm just in a terrible hellspiral right now.

 

 

Sera hates elves more than she hates human nobles. She'll constantly throw Lavellan's "elfiness" back in their face but not human Inquisitor's, and give Elf Quizzy an ultimatum to abandon their culture or get dumped but never does so for the human noble quizzy. But that's okay, because apparently the elves are as bad as she paints them as, and totally deserve it. 

 

So no matter what happens with Briala, she just ends up in a position where human nobles can pull the rug out from under her or wind up back under her abusive mistress's thumb (and Celene didn't hesitate to use and abuse her before)? Wonderful.

 

Then why the heck does BioWare sell their games on having "meaningful choices and impactful consequences" if they have no intention of delivering?

 

 

Apparently I just need flames rise from this game for all the good is does me.

 

If BW doesn't start cutting elves some slack in latter games then I'm going to be very upset.  Yeah, I get the 'grey morality' thing they're doing but at the moment all they're doing is giving more fuel to the 'lol kill all the knife ears' crowd.  The revelations in DAI - while they're pretty much what I expected - are written in such a way that BW makes it sound like the elves deserve their current oppression because they're were oppressors in the past and, no.  That's not good.  DAO had an entire quest about why blaming people in the present for something unconnected people in the past did is wrong.  And the exhausting attitude of people on the BSN towards elves and mages and how they should all be killed or worse is just irritating and I'm sick of it.

 

Right now the attitude is 'lol the elves were wrong humans are great kill all the elves' and constantly presenting deep and nuanced and, above all, competent characters like Briala and Fiona as easily panicked idiots or power hungry incompetents is just painful and it's all done just to make the other side look better.  Presenting oppressed people as deserving their oppression is not okay, Bioware.

 

*deep breath*

 

That rather got away from me, I think.

Oh Dorian! My dearest Dorian... And I'm sorry for being gone off this thread for awhile, I was going sir crazy with both of my dogs sleeping in my room, it really effects how cracky I can get.

[Illyria]

I think she has a BSN account. I'm not sure if she's a regular in here or not. I think she's still working through it. She'll come back to it all when she's ready, I suppose. Its not as if any of us can get away from the Egg, really, after all.

 

If you're talking about GeekRemix then, yeah, she was a regular in here for ages and then kind of vanished.

*Takes the Solas egg out of the pan gently, and puts it on a plate* Oh hey, Solas!

[flabbadence]

Well, first part of the Solas POV fic is... done? Though I'm hesitating on putting it up on AO3 before the whole of it's finished, I've put the first part up on my tumblr here, if you want to read it.

 

Now for some ranting, about writing and my ego. Sorry, I just need to get this out. I'll put it in the spoiler tags.

 

Spoiler

Right so, feeling real inadequate right now. And objectively, I know my writing isn't total crap, but I just... it's not there. What I'm looking for still isn't there. And I want to be better, there are so many things I want to write, but I keep on dropping things, losing motivation halfway. Keep on thinking, what even is the point of this, would it even matter if I wrote this, who the heck cares, am I even enjoying what I'm doing, why do I get so caught up in style and rhythm and all that crap when I just want to write something simple and honest for the love of god brain stop editing please stop.

 

*sigh* Yeah I dunno. Writing's a pain sometimes.

Spoilered for personal thinking out loud...

You know flabb (sorry I love calling you that). I'm like this now. Back when I used to write (poetry), I was living and breathing it, writing if not 24/7 (sometimes even 24/7), then whenever I wasn't doing anything else, but I needed it at the time (mental illness). But when I didn't need it anymore, I seemed to be unable to write like I did anymore, when I think about it now.

I figured that once it had saved my life I couldn't write from my soul anymore, I had no need to, it seemed I could only write from my brain (does that make sense?), and it's SO frustrating. When I think about writing now, my interest is piqued and then my brain will cut in and change everything. Perhaps because I don't NEED to write for myself anymore, and I don't seem to be able to write for other people. Perhaps I was never meant to write forever.. *shrugs*.  I dunno, I just felt you here and this came out...

Well that's... terrifying  . Because that just might be what's happening to me right now, losing interest because I don't need it anymore. But I still WANT to write. I want to write so many things, I want to write everything, but the motivation to pull through until the end just isn't there. Maybe because I've already coped with all the things I needed to cope with. And now, haha, I'm scared. Because I've also still got my thesis to write, and that's already been delayed so many times. Oh god I think I need to drink some tea.

 

Oh and it's fine if you call me flabb, no need to say sorry

 Re the rant.

Spoiler

Writing something is always better than writing nothing, even if you don't share it with anyone, so don't worry about if anyone else cares or not. Wanting to write something especially stylistically beautiful often keeps me from pushing through projects too. Writer's block is really just the fear of writing something bad. I have a terrible phobia of my writing not meeting my own ridiculous expectations. I get where you're coming from. 

 

Personally, I don't see what's wrong with getting a little caught up in style and rhythm. Some people write plainly, directly--their work driven by action, plot, and dialogue. Others allow the artistry of mere words take center stage--making poetry of their tales. Both styles have their strengths and weaknesses. I read what you posted on your tumblr. Don't hesitate to post it on AO3 before you're done. People are still really eager to read Solavellan over on the Archive. I'm sure you'll get some reads and feedback. You've got a number of tasty nuggets of language there. I think the outside feedback helps silence the internal criticism a little too.

So....I wrote a little thing. That is technically about the Solas romance. After Crestwood.

 

It's pretty short.

I keep telling myself it doesn't matter if people don't care, and on some level I believe it but, is there really a point to writing if people don't read what you wrote? Some days I'm all eff it, I do what I want. But some days, like now I guess, I just can't muster that indifference. Though that's not my primary concern right now, it's more of me not liking my own style, and getting frustrated at my quickly lost motivation. Though this helps, thank you

I really want to give you a hug (if you want one of course). This also resonate with me so much. Indifference is more scary to me than any amount of criticism I could receive about my writing. And it's sometimes so hard to just... stare at the page and force yourself to write while all the while a little voice in your mind tells you no one is even interested in what you're doing. And then, you look at some of the really popular/well written stuff and you think that there is no way you'd ever write anything close to it.

 

But, it's not true (at least, I hope not!). Even if you do not have a huge audience, people are interested to read what you write. Don't give up! at least people here are always happy for a new fanfic to sink their teeth into

And yes, others' indifference can be so paralyzing. And that little voice! God, why can't we just magic those intrusive thoughts away T_T. And when you look at what other people have written...! I don't like feeling bitter. I hate the way I can't help but compare my own stuff with theirs, when I just want to enjoy what they've written. *sigh*. But yeah, tomorrow's going to be a better day

Wow. That was . That choice really does make the immediate aftermath so much more ... ouch. I always made the other choice, so I never really thought what it must be like for Lavellan to have to return like that.

And Cole? That's totally something I could see him doing.

And yeah, I've been thinking about it lately and I can see my Lavellan going through a whole process of regretting her choice and then being really angry at Solas that he told her what the marks meant.

 

Marked without being marked. It's ouch.
