i wish there was more serious discourse abt how everything you’ve come to expect walked so that tranquility base and now the car could run :((
so, so much of what’s going on in tbh&c and the car, both musically, lyrically and thematically can be traced back to this album (or even tatou if u poke deeper). like how did ppl listen to eycte and then get shocked when alex put out something like tbh&c; if you’d been paying attention you would have known where’s it coming from. it’s such an important album in alex’s personal discography and marks a huge turning point in his evolution as a songwriter. i will also go far as to any analysis of the arctic monkey’s musical evolution is incomplete without talking about eycte. but so many ppl, i see, often just write it off as as “fun side project alex did during his break” OPEN YOUR EYES Y’ALL

Colleen and i decided which dragon age/bg3 companions would be besties. the rule was to match them 1:1 but it got out of hand.
Wyll and Sera- wyll would totally be a big brother to her and they would protect the little guys together. They're our favorite friendship.
Gale and Merrill- They're both scholars of esoteric magic and would be so interested in hearing the other infodump. But merrill, when having so much power in her hands, never becomes hungry for it. she would be able to keep gale's hubris in check (as much as one can)
We considered gale and anders, but theyre too similar and would butt heads. they would fuck once and then stop talking to each other. anders WOULD take the crown also.
Also, since we didn't pair Dorian off with anyone, we think he'd also be friends with Gale.
Karlach and Alistair- they would riff off of each other with ease. they would have so much fun and be so playful together. karlach would never make fun of him. theyre both just good people.
lae'zel and fenris- the two lone wolf fighters would stick together. they wouldn't talk a lot but would have each other's backs. they might fuck but theyre both tops so theyd have to figure that out.
shadowheart and leliana- going off of how leliana tried to befriend morrigan, i think leliana would have a lot of empathy for shadowheart's situation and would be kind to her. they would totally fall in love too.
astarion and zevran- theyre so similar, but unlike Gale and Anders, they would mesh really well. Zevran is a better person than astarion but would not really care about bettering him. They would also fuck.
jahiera and cassandra- they both have soldiery backgrounds and get shit done. jaheira isnt as serious as cassandra, but she's certainly serious about her task. jaheira would listen to cassandra talk about romance novels even though shes not into them herself.
minsc and isabela- the two people that can get along with everybody. isabela would poke fun at minsc, but only in kind ways and they would joke with one another. Minsc/boo would try to turn her on the right path tho. But boo does also love isabela.
halsin and vivienne- two people with power who aren't power-hungry. they both agree with halsin's statement that "anyone who WANTS to have power shouldn't have it." They have deep philosophical discussions.
