he's the daddest dad I'm genuinely really lucky. such a good dude.

and also secretly a troll with a real dry sense of humor, LOL  he thinks the whole thing is pretty hilarious. but he's also full of Typical Dad-ness (so a bit out of touch with social media and stuff) and he can't get his head around how from time to time thousands of people read and spread my ideas/theories about a video game around. hahahaha

 

dads man 

 

Tell your dad he's still awesome.

 

Also, is he our threadgrandad?  Since he's the dad of threadad.

I loved how hateful they all were, the whole game was a count down till the companions started murdering each other. It probably says more about me than anything else that I like that but I think I'd been playing a lot of happy go lucky stuff at the time where everything is perfect always and everyone always gets along. But Kreia would be very proud that you had the sense to be uncomfortable around her because she was the main villain. Albeit the sort that hoped you learnt something along the way. Frankly she reminds me of Solas in some bizarre way. 

 

She reminds me of Solas too, but I hated Kreia. I hated her obvious lying, her obvious agenda, the fact they showed her working against you in some way, undoing the things you'd done, lying and manipulating others. It made my experience of the game turn into "Is she going to betray me yet?" No? Another 10 hours of gameplay until she does? Ehhh. It made the entire game seriously drag.

 

I don't know about hateful, since my character and everyone else except HK-47, G0-T0, and Kreia were either max light side or very close (with the exception of Mandalore, but I even got Canderous edged into the light a bit).  Everyone was pretty great, except the source of tension that was always Kreia. And you could never get rid of her. I was too light to get her to truly talk, it seems. She constantly criticized my actions and there was no way to really call her out on all her lies and manipulation. She was basically, a thorn in my side that dragged the entire game out waiting for her inevitable betrayal that I saw coming a mile away. My opinion of the whole game suffered a lot for that.

 

In ways, I feel like Solas is like Kreia, but done right.

Gosh, I know. I had this really bizarre discussion with my husband this morning over breakfast, about sword and dagger wounds to heart, head, lungs, and asked him how would he mercy kill someone who was stuck on his back (ie decapitation out of question), begging him to end it.It lead to really grueling 10 minutes when he was suggesting stuff and I was citing various sources saying why it won't work.

But just getting the idea of forcing her hand to kill someone - no matter the reasons - gave me shivers. But I think it could belong there, if I set it right.

 

 

I love writing about bodily functions so much, so researching and thinking through the gore and mechanics doesn't really bother me. But when it's time to write the scene, and I see it from the killer's POV, and then from the victim's POV, ugh, the feels can get disturbing.

Also, will twisting their neck work in the situation you describe?

It could definitely belong, if there's a good reason to do it, the fact that it gives you shivers probably means it will be a powerful moment when written.

*wakes up and decides to just jump in*

 

What about slitting the throat? That's always a standby classic right?

 

I mean.......I don't know. I haven't had coffee yet and why I should be thinking about slitting throats when I first wake up is beyond me.

 

On an Inquisition side note of stuff like this, the only execution my Quizzy di was Erimond and I always thought she must have walked away from that and threw up behind the scenes somewhere. I mean, fighting and all that is very different I imagine from actually chopping off someone head in front of a crowd. Not to mention she's tiny......probably took more than one swing. I imagine intense is the word of the day there.

 

Sorry for a bit of incoherence. Need coffee.

I think we'd have someone to take care of that. Erimond was my only execution too, but we have guards and people and we don't carry the other punishments out personally.

Awfully sorry to creep you out  

 

I humbly beg for forgiveness.

Here, some smooth catty walk. Wolfy walk. Wha'ever.

I was joking, because I have read about these sorts of 'how to kill people' topics for writing purposes too.

 

As a child, I would go to the library and check out these writing guides with titles like "How poisons work". I started reading mysteries around....10?

I guess.......I mean......I just can't see my Quizzy casually strolling back to the War Room after that. No matter how evil the person is......just....whoa.

 

I don't know though. Never been in that situation and never met anyone who has. Something to talk about if I ever I do.

Who knows what Fly'Harel could do while asleep

 

Fly'Harel is indeed a very tricky individual. Probably sent all the agents out and dispersed us all.

 

I'm skulking about. Trying to edit my next chapter. Trying to keep Solas as close to character as I can in my non-canon story. Not an easy thing to do. Watching LoR for some inspiration. I should just play the game and go fighting through the Storm Coast instead. I slept way too much since Friday night. Fell asleep around 10 slept unitl 4 then slept from 8 to 11 and then again from 7 pm to 10 it's now 3 am and I'm wide awake still. Insomnia sucks.

 

I made some edits and updated a few of my stories on AO3, and then I went to sleep around 4 but, apparently, my body only let me have 5.5 hours. Still, that is more than I get some nights. I never sleep enough.

About Best Elf:

 

I remember the whole TME drama about SOLAS KILLED BEST ELF/ NUH UH HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT 

 

I was a firm believer that Solas didn't kill Felassan. Now that it's basically been proven that is was him, it puts into perspective how naively optimistic I was about Solas, just because of how I prefer to view him as fade nerd!Solas rather than Fen'Harel.

 

I'm never going to get over Solas having killed Fellassan, especially because it insinuates he has a cold enough heart to be able to kill those closest to him, and therefore a romanced Lavellan or a quissy who's his good friend. 

 

I just ... it makes me sad every time 

 

It shows his darkest side, and just thinking about it is so depressing 

I was always very skeptical at the idea that it wasn't Solas who killed Felassan, although I did kind of hope that it would be true.  However, I don't think Felassan had left him much choice, he had picked the other side and compromised the mission so what was Solas supposed to do in that situation?  He doesn't even discuss the situation with Felassan, perhaps because it would have made it harder to kill him.  He steels himself and does what he believes has to be done.

But she has killed people before at this point. All of our Inquisitors have. What is the difference between Erimond and someone she blasted in battle?

 

Now, it would be interesting if she's someone who was very affected by each death she had some hand in.

 

Mine has something like that. She wonders about her training as a hunter, and how they train such young elves to take those lives, even if it's mostly, initially, to supply the clan. And she wonders a bit why she was chosen for this, because she's not exactly stoic, she shows her feelings on her face a lot, but then she's actually good at it. She learns how to focus and detach a little in the moment, but still has feelings about it. When it comes to people, I haven't written that, but I would see her not feeling good about it at first either, but ultimately, she does go and take Assassin training. Doesn't prevent a bit of inner conflict though.

At least now, there's a degree of at least no one sees your search history.

I guess that main difference is the fighting. Fighting to save people or defend yourself would have a different feel to it I imagine. The whole fight or flight taking over I guess?

 

There would be no fight or flight taking over in the mind having someone tied up in front of you and you're about to end it. So I just imagine a lot more mental processing going on there and who knows where that could lead.

Right, there was no right or wrong way to respond to that question, it was more a frame for how yours might take it. That's probably going to be the most common. Mine only executed Erimond too, and would feel similarly, even though she's not handling it herself.

[Eivuwan]

Does anyone else have this problem? Like I miss playing DAI and I want to pick it up again, but then I can't because I know the story already.

A bit yeah.... I (unfortunately) have a very very good memory when it comes to stories, games and scenes(down to the last detail), so basically it becomes a bit repetitive after the second playthrough. I kind of envy my boyfriend who forgets everything in a week or so

I have to say......I actually kind of questioned afterwards whether or not I should have killed that guy.......

 

Thank God for Cole. Like, Cole put my mind at ease about it cause apparently there really wasn't anything worth saving with him.

 

I want Cole IRL

I've been thinking about this a lot, lately. Mine was trained as a healer and killing or causing suffering is completely against what she's all about. But at the same time she feels completely empty on the inside and out of touch with her ideals and herself. Still, it takes her a lot of alcohol to get over some of the stuff she gets to do as Inquisitor.
