I think they achey might be more because I was a rebel and didn't stay on bed rest yesterday like I was meant to. And yes I did, I'm having a girl and her name is going to be Emi :)

I had to save it to my phone (the panel picture) because it looks tiny so I'm going to check it out now!

Aww that's an adorable name, what made you pick that one?

 

 

Maybe "freaking out the neighbors" means "announcing Varric as bi, watching the homophobes on the forum flip out".

 

... Maybe?

Are you talking about the people who insist that Varric must be straight because he's such a bro :P Or the people who try to justify their conviction with x, y, and z pieces of evidence. 

 

I actually did a search awhile ago to see if there was anything Varric said or did in DAII that people might pounce on should he turn out to be bisexual, and I couldn't find anything that hadn't already been used in the case against Anders... unless I missed something.

.

I wanted a Japanese name for my daughter but I didn't want one people would mispronounce all the time because my birth name was almost mispronounced before I went by Juliet in America . Emi is cute ( the kanji used for the spelling mean beautiful blessing) and easily pronounced so, I think it's perfect!

I'm only talking about people who absolutely refuse to accept the possibility, no matter why.

 

But yeah, here's one thing I find important about the Varric-as-bi argument. I've been arguing he could be a bi, non-race-gated romance for months if not years. Know how many times I've heard that dwarf-only line from Merrill's romance? All of them. All of the times. Know how many times someone's pulled a line out and said, this means Varric must be straight? Never. So that's one of the reasons I'm so optimistic about my chances.

while I'll just be glad to have Varric as an LI if he is one, I would love if he is bi for our male fans (or those who just want to romance him with a male character) . Fingers crossed

Ah very practical thinking, my best friend's suffered from a frequently mispronounced name, I still refer to her by her nickname most of the time because I can't quite wrap my tongue around her full name.

That is promising for a bi Varric :P I think many people learned their lesson from Anders, just because a character doesn't outright tell you that they're into a specific gender, doesn't mean they aren't.

And given some of the whining, it is very much appreciated.

I made a joke about this once. I said "didn't you know when you introduce yourself you're supposed to say what gender you're interested in? Of course they were mad about Anders" and I said it was simple common courtesy to introduce yourself like "Hi, I'm Juliet and I find women and men attractive. It's nice to meet you! " because really, that's what some people make it seem when they're like "Anders never mentioned being attracted to men . He was straight in awakening " blah blah blah .

I don't agree with that argument. At all.

I used to hire a guy with a megaphone to follow me around and shout my Kinsey scale rating at random passerby. But I had to cut back on expenses lately. Y'know what's a lot cheaper but almost as effective? Business cards. Trufax.

I need to get myself some. I'll dress in a classy suit, put some shades on and hand them out. Of course, when I hand it to someone I find attractive, I'll lower my shades just a bit so they can see me wink and then strut away.

All dat sass

Do you think we can hit 200 pages before his LI status is announced? Just a thought.

 

I am having trouble sleeping too anyway.

It seems many people across the forums assume that it's Varric and Vivi as the last two. 

They seem to just be talking about what level of gating is on those two. Solas seem to have been given up on as a LI. Of course I haven't dared set foot in the romance thread  :unsure:

I'm not convinced with anything haha

I feel everyone has an equal chance right about now (except Viv does have a bit of an advantage)

Urgh, me too. This sudden popularity gives me a bad feeling, do not want to set myself up for disappointment.

Anything could happen at this point. I hope they announce it before the end of next week, but they probably won't :P
