THIS IS YOUR FAULT
You are losing your temper, Trahearne.
DO NOT CALL ME THAT.
I AM NOT HIM.
YOU HAVE MADE SURE OF THAT.
COMMANDER.
Then who are you?
I AM THE MONSTER YOU CREATED.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR ACTIONS.

They always say “read Whipping Girl” but never warn you how often the book is hostile towards or just straight up wrong about transmasculine & non-binary people whenever they’re brought up. Like I’m starting to see why so many people who say that are transandrophobic tbh

I know you went into this briefly before. But truly. HOW INSANE adding a child into the Isabelamance arranged marriage Hawke.
Is the child expected to inherit? Does it remove potential matches Hawke could have had, potentially making the fiance lower on the social ladder than Hawke?? The implications?? Does Isabela even LIKE the kid??? What if the kid gets seasick. What then. How does no attachments no complications Isabela allow herself to fall in love with THE most attached man in Thedas.
AND THE KID WOULD BE OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE AGENCY AND OPINIONS AND AND SHIT IN ACT 3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAJHHH
making this woman the not-stepmother to a kid growing up in a hightown estate just to feel something

LOVE IS SAND ITS SAND ITS ALL BEEN SAND LOVE IS FUCKING SAND
Anyone remember this? From chapter 42?
This was following his conversation with Chris the day he started going out with Mitsumi. He can’t get a grasp on his feelings.
Love is.. slipping away.. out of reach.. not seen often (he’s only been to the beach once b4). We know that Shima has struggled to have his feelings acknowledged growing up, and this metaphor encapsulates it well.
Then we have chapter 53
Mika walks up to Shima (who she has previously confessed to and since moved on), with a half complaint of ‘its actually kind of hard isn’t it? To walk on the sand’
To tread your feelings is hard. It’s hard work.. to love… to be loved.
But it’s not really a lament, it’s more of an affirmation. All their friends wanted to walk along that beach- together. And it’s ultimately worth it, even if it isn’t as easy as expected.
Then in comes Mitsumi… she doesn’t know the context of their conversation but she hears them query about something in the sand, that they don’t recognise.
She says there is life here. We can find it if we dig. It would’ve been nice to try sooner.
She’s so accustomed to love, she grew up with it from all her family and friends, and here she is showing her friends its got so much there if only you look, if only you have a hand. I can help.
Then Shima asks her to show him that life that’s there.
Love. Is. Sand.

I'm thinking about the King now and his love towards Vaugarde. Like, I started thinking more about "Why did the King freeze Vaugarde from the edges first?" Normally, if you were going to inflict a curse on something, you'd start doing it from the inside, which is nearer your spot. But the King started farther from him. And I think, in a way, the King was trying to mimic the Change symbol while still connecting that with the Universe. Like how there's a big outer circle that gets smaller and smaller with only a dot at the center. And the Universe being connected with it too like what Siffrin said during around Act 4, I think?
So the King remembers a part of the Vaugardian culture but what Really made that obvious in a way is that the King believes his goal of freezing Vaugarde in time is Also a form of Change AND HE'S RIGHT! I know that as Mira said, being stuck in time is the opposite of Change but the thing here is that Breaking Traditions is part of the Change belief, which is what Mira also said in passing when explaining about the Change symbols on her clothes. Although for Mirabelle who strongly believes in Change, she thinks of that part being only applicable to uniforms. Which is also right, in a way, but the Change God quest confirms that, whether you Change constantly or remain stagnant doesn't matter, Anything can be a form of Change (even with Siffrin's time loop, the Change God, though angry at them, sees it as a form of Change itself (mainly entertainment though)). So yeah, the King does understand the Vaugardian culture and loves it in place of his love for the Country as something he can be part of.

Oh yeah, Angel Dust has a sister, her name's Molly, there are a bunch of speed drawings with her.
Anon I think you are the only fan of Molly as I have not sent her be mentioned outside of 2017.
Genuinely thought that Molly was like Niffty/Vaggie situationship because I had NO fucking clue what stance Molly even was outside of just looking at a distant glance over definitely not realizing that was what happened to the past 'Angel Dust Drag'..... The fact that it personifies into a woman that is barely mentioned [much like angel representing or doing drag in the first place], turned into fucking THIS????
I cant even begin to comprehend.... She speaks for herself honestly. You can tell that viv genuinely did not give a fuck about the implications here or the lazy design that is 'Hmm angel dust but pink girly'
I feel like she just became cut content considering there hasn't ever been a mention about angels' family besides his Arackniss
Kinda weird how angel is more focused and put down upon in the spotlight more with Valentino and less with his 1930s mobster Italian spider persona :/ Even attempting to make a different womanly character known as the sister of angel dust, she is still tied down to him and has nothing besides this rainbow vomit old design.
How could I not be confused over angels' stance on dragging while VIV can't even fucking make characters up for him without retconning over herself!
You want this mess of a character design to be made but not Baxter???? I'm baffled. Thanks for bringing this horrid 'writing' decision to my notice. Since viv doesn't give a single lick of sense about Molly I too did not realize that Molly was supposed to be the hyper feminized pink eyesore that was SUPPOSED to be Angel's DRAG PERFORMING CARICATURE???
Your ask has the exact same amount of punch as telling me that Blitz has a sister, they are underwritten to be one of the same since they're women obviously Viv just doesn't like writing women ! :/
