I kind of wish the boxart for S2 was as detailed as S1's for some more uniformity as opposed to a stark contrast with a shift to minimalism, but I do really how angelic they look here.

Little lost souls adrift in the vast ocean of fate who don't deserve the burdens they bear on their shoulders, but bear them they do, and together they'll be the ones to change the world.

One of the many things I’m surprised Anet has never released: a ‘Sylvan’ set of themed mount skins like the Inquest Exosuit, Branded, and Shiverpeaks ones, but plant-themed so they can resemble the sylvari, nightmare court, or mordrem depending on what dyes you use.

#GW2 #Guild Wars 2 #full disclosure i'd be one of the first to buy it #i'm making sylvari again and it's making me sad i have no mounts to match #let me give them plant companions!! #there's not even a vinetooth MINI. criminal #(vinetooth faolain does not count i want a normal vinetooth) #there's literally 2 and both are for the jackal (and primal spirit only counts if you squint) #and the mordrem alpha can't exactly pass for anything other than a mordrem #anet why are you passing up guaranteed money. there's so MANY sylvari mains #if anything it's the shiverpeaks ones i NEVER see anyone use literally ever #which is a shame because they're very cool #the inquest and branded ones i Do see because you can do a lot with them #inquest can work as any kind of tech (including now jade tech with the right dyes) #and the branded ones can be icebrood too or just look really dang cool #plant ones would work not just for mordrem. sylvari. and nightmare. but druids and nature magic too #heck you could even use them for theming with echovald wilds too #so i feel like you'd see them a Lot if they ever released something like this #... is that why. does Anet fear the rise of plant mount supremacy #oh well guess we'll probably never know lmao #my posts

#naruto #madara #madara uchiha #uchiha madara #hashirama flashback #+ hashirama #[FBI looking through my laptop voice] why the fuck have you been looking at this and crying for the past 3 hours #Also fun fact: I used to not really like the language of ''revealing your guts'' I felt it was just very ugly and un-poetic phrasing #But I've come to appreciate it in the sense that it conveys a pretty thorough idea of vulnerability that reveals a lot of how Madara #perceives it. #His phrasing of revealing vulnerability is incredibly visual; people quite literally opening themselves up for him to see. Related is how #his greatest discomfort is people standing behind him. You know. where he can't see them. #Also most Uchiha characters having common motif threads related to their eyes. #In Madara's case they're tied specifically to how he'd like to have full awareness and understanding of what's around him; and by extension #he'd like to have a measure of influence over them. #Something standing where he can't see it though he knows it's there is the most vulnerable position he can imagine himself in. #In multiple different ways! In this particular panel it's mostly related to trust and emotional vulnerability. #Which is a very fun character trait to have when you grow up in the conceiling yourself and backstabbing profession #And you are also very fatalistic and under the impression that people just can't change #you WOULD think the only solution would be if everyone could just magically rip themselves open

If you wanna know the kind of person I am all you need to know is I spent yesterday evening writing 1.5k words of backstory scenes for a pathfinder character that I'm not going to start using for at least another entire year

Since I very sincerely doubt Uther managed to kill ALL the Dragonlords (they're knights, not the KGB, and it was a lot easier to disappear back then) imagine them returning to Albion from Rome or whatever to find Cousin Balinor's only son is ruling Camelot and the Druids, is best friends with an immortal knight and one dude that's been raised from the fucking dead, is bonded to THEE oldest dragon they've ever heard of (and who is also nuttier than squirrel stew) and a semi-feral hatchling that barely listens to four (4) people max and hisses/bites/claws at the rest, and oh yeah, is married to a fucking Pendragon.

Family dinners must be a hoot and a half.

oh to be a fly on the wall when they finally make an audience in Camelot. oh to see Merlin's face morph from apprehension to wonder to exhaustion to horror because they're telling Arthur everything they know.

#obviously these guys arrive post battle of camlann and post magic ban being lifted #they heard about the new king of camelot being the once and future king wanted to see that for themselves (they have so many questions) #they create a dragonlord support group for merlin #honestly my question is when exactly did the dragonlord population start dimishing #sure okay we can say during the Purge and Uther isn't one for mercy so he would totally go on a warpath...but they're dragonlords and yet #they lost to a mad king who only had knights on his side. #theory: dragonlord population was dwindling long before the Purge #other kingdoms in Abion were growing suspicious and wary of dragolords and their ability to “control” dragons #many kings felt threatened by it and sought to exterminate them #paranoia for magic prob been around long before the Purge (twas only the catalyst for a century long tension bt royals and sorcerers) #think WW1 kind of tension between kings and dragonlords: kingdoms were beginning to stabilize/unify; territories were drawn out #oh bro i am now actually very interested in exploring the events leading up to the Purge #my theory: Ambrosious the king said to “unite” Albion that first time had issues with gaining fealty from dragonlords #dragonlords saw themselves as neutral ambassadors but Ambrosious saw them as threats; they reached some treaty but the animosity stayed #every line of succession you have a king seeking to get dragonlords under their rule and dragonlords refusing #then maybe a king or so before Uther less heirs for dragonlords occur; less eggs hatch or are allowed to hatch (kings find them and keep #the prized eggs in their vaults full of treasure blatantly ignoring the very sacred and important dragonlord customs) #but then the Purge comes and now many dragonlords are hunted down and killed and many leave to never return #so yeah maybe Balinor was the last dragonlord on Albion by s2 finale but not because they all died but bc he was the last one who stayed #and lived since everyone else now reside elsewhere in the world refusing to rebuild the bridge the kings had burned #bbc merlin #dragonlords #headcanons #asks

i actually love the idea that if Thor was raised with Loki then he grew up learning more and uses the charismatic himbo vibe as a front and if Thor was raised without Loki it's not a persona and he actually is just a charismatic himbo now

#normal Thor is a thot but he's also pretty battle smart and has intuition etc. while Party Thor is just a thot #Party Thor didn't bother with good fighting he didn't need to be book smart or a good heir bc there was only 1 option lmao #didn't wind up with any protectiveness or slight enough maturity not to follow every single impulse without thought and alone #which is just. HILARIOUS. #imagine MCU Thor and Loki wind up in that universe and they're like oh sweet it's a normal world then since Thor's acting normal #but no he's not normal Thor he's not acting at all that's just Thor now #Thor is cringing and devastated #Thor like 1. THIS is what I look like from the outside? D: and 2. ohnorns there's nothing behind it. it's not a coping mechanism. norns no #Loki like ''yeah he's a little forthcoming but look at the bright side Thor! this version of you is CLEARLY more fun.'' #*gestures to Party Thor drinking out of like a full jotun sized mug and he starts coughing and choking and it spilled everywhere* #''and also an idiot!'' #Thor like this ISN'T funny. #he's got his arms crossed and is all pouty about it #they find out about Jotun Loki and Loki has stars in his eyes like NO WAY I'M SO COOL AND FUN TOO :0 #and Thor is there face crumpling further because it feels like this universe hates him specifically #XD #like what so Loki gets to keep his magic and be way taller and fun and Thor is chasing after him in this universe???? unfair :[ #Thor vows never going to downplay with Loki again and Loki is there sincerely like Thor I know you're not like that don't worry about it

Nothing better than a pretty rainbow in the sky. You tell them santa exists and poor children get toys too #BUT YALL AN'T FUKIN LIE ABOUT A FLAG YOU FIND OFFENSIVE #you gotta crawl out of your scummy den and hiss at the colorful flag - then the child gets curious (why mad at the flag parent?) #fr you can lie about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU'LL TELL YOUR CHILD SKY MAN IS PROTECTING THEM FROM EVIL #BUT NOT THE COLORFUL FLAG #your petty runs so deep in your nasty cussy you'll look your kid in the eye and (That pretty flag is full of evil) #(and those happy people / the hundreds marching?

i don't dislike the idea that either or both of loki and sylvie can cook, i just think it's a very optimistic take

#both their lives can be split in two: part 1 they have servants (and she's wee) and part 2 they're mostly scavenging #i just don't think they've had reliable access to both ingredients and kitchen facilities to actually learn anything #so i think they announce “i've made you a lovely home-cooked meal darling” and it's that they've microwaved a lasagne #luckily the other one is indeed charmed and touched by this as it's the upper limit of their combined cooking skills + shows effort was mad #and otherwise it's their drawer full of takeaway menus isn't it? #the food arguments in that household are about whether or not to use plates + cutlery (because they also can't do basic cleaning tasks) #“oh they can just magic stuff” ok but you're overlooking the potential for angsting about losing fancy table manners to survive #and who doesn't love angst???

[danielnelsen]

Hey first I want to say that I really like your in depth posts on Dragon Age! Can I ask if you have any information and/or insights on the Jainen Circle from Legends? And do you think it's canon?

Everything That Happens Involving the Jainen Circle of Magi:

The First Enchanter is Jendrik whenever DAL is set (it's canonically sometime after the start of the 5th blight, but imo it's more specifically set somewhere from 9:34-9:37).

Sometime before you arrive in Jainen, the Circle is overrun by demons.

The leader of the local dragon cultists, Deymour, sends his lieutenant, Guillen, to kill Jendrik. If you head too far into Jainen without going to the Circle, Jendrik will die, otherwise you save him. If you save him, he's too wounded to help you so he just...leaves, I guess. He doesn't get any dialogue or a sprite or anything.

When you fight through the Circle, you fight both templars and mages (who are fighting together). I don't think you fight any demons until the very end, which has one desire demon as a boss.

The source of the demon(s) is Deymour who, as part of the overarching plot of DAL, is hosting a shard of a pride demon's soul in him. It's not explicitly stated that he summoned the demon(s), but his whole pride demon thing and also his general involvement (asking Guillen to kill Jendrik) is a pretty good indicator.

No matter the outcome, none of this is ever mentioned again.

Is the Jainen Circle Canon?

Nothing from DAL is canon.

That said, most of the game can be stretched to fit into canon (even Eiton being 'born Tranquil', fight me), and the Jainen Circle isn't any less realistic than anything else in DAL. Honestly, the main potential conflicts with canon are probably:

The times when we've been told how many circles there are (either 14 or 15; it's not even consistent). There are more than that listed on the wiki, even without including Jainen. However, quite a few of those Circles only have references from hundreds of years ago and may not exist anymore, so even 14 is enough to include Jainen as one of them.

Kinloch Hold is generally discussed in canon as THE Circle in Ferelden, replacing Denerim's Circle in 3:87. Maybe Jainen's just smaller or too remote or something, idk.

#dragon age #dragon age legends #dragon age meta #dragon age lore #da #dal #i feel like i may be the most qualified person in existence to talk about dal with the hours ive put into deconstructing the code #i have a 125 page document mapping the full plot (not in a way that would be particularly useful to anyone else tho sorry) #(but i WILL gladly talk about literally anything to do with it because oh boy do i know TOO MUCH about this game) #personal #was literally thinking a few hrs ago about writing a post about dwarves and golems and lyrium and magic resistance and souls........ #with heavy references to dal because of what happens in orzammar #(yes my copy of the game crashes before orzammar but the code still exists and i have Read It) #like there's a new paragon called beirus who figured out caridin's research and is making golems out of darkspawn #VERY interesting stuff. wish i could actually play it lmao. i wanna see the sprites for the golems when they're fighting #also ftr there are werewolf golems and they're called grinders. mhm

For their entire childhood, Nathan and Eleanor are pretty evenly matched.

Things start changing once they're teenagers and Nathan's metabolism slowly morphs into what he'll end up being as an adult. It's hard to keep up with someone whose reflexes naturally get sharper and faster, whose senses are even more refined than yours, even though he has to adapt and try not to be too overwhelmed by everything all the time, even though he starts needing to take breaks to drink blood, even if he has a hard time keeping regular food down.

It's even harder to keep up with someone being taught an incredibly powerful and volatile magic and being told you can't because you're too weak. (You are actually perfectly capable of learning. Your mentor is just an asshole. He's withholding it from you because you haven't fully broken yet. You don't realize it right now. One day as an adult you'll put the pieces together but right now what matters is that you're still the loser.)

In a fair fight, with weapons and no magic, Eleanor struggles but she still wins about as much as he does.

When magic gets involved she gets from being the usual winner to the usual loser. There's no match for soul magic, unless you too can use it.

So that's what she does. On her own. With no help. Spying and mimicking.

Still, for a long time, they're not evenly matched at all anymore.

And then she leaves.

#winter's rage #mmm. #yeah once they're adults she can still be almost as fast as he is despite being fully human #and now Nathan is a full fledged vampire so other people would have a HARD time following a fight between them #she also uses a bunch of tricks to get her regular magic on about the same level as his soul magic #usually enchantments to her gear that she makes herself #kind of an insane mismatch of many things #which means that. later on ? as a Spirit ? #she's grossly overpowered against him LMFAO
