This is the single best take on Dragon Age 2 I’ve ever read and why I will defend it with my life AND TWO OF THE WRITERS BASICALLY CONFIRMED IT??

(Also everyone go follow Margaret Owen on twitter. she writes books.)

twitter thread here

"If you meant what you said Alistair, then swear on the divine. 'Tis not often you get to be in her presence" "I- It's- You never stopped being mean, do you?"

heyyy you mentioned vorkosigan fic recs yesterday. do you have any you could hand to me? ratty suggested aral vorkosigan's dog (i think that's the name?) to me already, but i haven't gotten to it yet. thank u

HEY, I had to wait a couple days to have time to reread things, because I knew that was inevitable. 

Aptitude - Miles added, “Security was never on my top-ten list of assignment choices.“ "Not choice. Aptitude.” (-The Vor Game)This is EXACTLY what you wanted. Miles and Ivan and SImon and fluff and Aral and politics and espionage and fireworks!! And more fluff.

Uncle Simon - Simon has no children of his own. But he has an honorary nephew.This is also exactly what you want, with less politics and more things that will squeeze your heart in a mostly good but slightly painful way. But stop after “doubting his word” if you want to avoid more significant spoilers.

Lord Gregor AU - An alternate universe in which Prince Serg Vorbarra did not die at Escobar, but lived to become Emperor of Barrayar.AU of Barrayar, basically, which I’m pretty sure you’ve read. 

Liegeman - Aral and Simon have a conversation after Warrior’s Apprentice. besties and PAIN

Aral Vorkosigan’s Dog - Illyan is assigned to watch Aral Vorkosigan during the Escobaran war. Soon he has to choose between his duty and his conscience, and the consequences rapidly get beyond him.Alternate title: The Wooing of Simon Illyan. Alternate Alternate title: That TIme Ges Vorrutyer was So Awful a Previously Well-Behaved ImpSec Lieutenant Basically Committed Treason (It’s Okay; Negri Planned It).

Young Ivan Series - a collection of drabbles about, you know, Ivan as a kid. Miles features heavily. It’s great.

Victory Conditions - Miles, Ivan, and a couple compatriots discuss their Academy exercise and subsequent debriefing over drinks. (Remix of Improvisation, which recounts the exercise itself.)

Once you’re much later in the series, I will recommend many more fics because this fandom has a disproportionate amount of stellar fic and I don’t understand it. I particularly recommend Philomytha and avanti_90, both of whom are hella prolific and hella good. 

I still think this is one of the better things I’ve put out into the internet actually

Listen I’m not fully caught up on the manga or anime, but the Endeavor redemption leaves a really bad taste in my mouth so far. Especially because it’s barely brought up while focusing on his relationship with his kids that he BOUGHT HIS WIFE.

Also I feel like the people who I’ve seen talk about online end up excusing his behavior because of in world reasons (ex: he’s the number one hero so he can’t be held accountable) when they don’t recognize that it’s being written by a person, and the person wrote it that way for a reason.

Like when you’re writing a story about abuse and you focus more on how the abusers feel about their actions than how the victims do…that seems odd.

me, wandering shoeless through the snowy wastes of ao3: please… all i want is for luke and leia to have grown up together…… blease…………..

I need this

@cookiemonsterrsims​ asked me for a list of recommended mods for Fallout 4, so I figured I’d just post it publicly for ease of format, and just in case anyone else was curious.

Obviously none of these are necessary, and are completely subjective to your own wants and what your PC can handle, but these are some of the primary mods I use:

CLOTHING/ARMOR MODS

Proto Vault Suit - A slightly different take on the Vanilla vault suit, that is a lot nicer to look at, and it still feels lore friendly.

Commonwealth Survivalist Gear - One of my favorite clothing mods. Creates many new, unique outfits that utilize vanilla assets. Very much lore friendly.

Survivalist Go-Bags - A mod by the same author that adds a nice variety of backpacks that you can create ♥

Eli’s Armour Compendium - Elianora creates some reeeeally neat looking armors/clothes.

Minuteman Outfit Reimagined - Just a mod I personally enjoy - the vanilla colors of the Minutement Outfit really bugged me, and this gives you a few options to replace it. I personally utilized the blue flannel variation :)

Eyewear and Mask Retexture - A mod that really spruces up some of the glasses/goggles/mask textures in the game.

CHARACTER AESTHETIC MODS

LooksMenu - Changes the menu in character creator a bit so that certain features are more easily accessible through a list. Also allows for saving character presets.

Real HD Face Textures 2k - A face texture mod.

Starlight Eyes - The eye texture mod I’m currently using.

Kirs Freckles - Changes the vanilla freckles and adds a bit more character to them.

DeLuxe Makeup - Replaces the vanilla makeups with some that are a lot easier on the eyes.

THBrows - Some nice new eyebrow options for your female characters.

Hair/Facial Hair mods: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

SETTLEMENT RELATED MODS

Spring Cleaning - Allows you to trash a lot more objects in your settlements and make them look more lived-in and clean.

Homemaker - Choc full of new stuff you can build!

Snappy HouseKit - A mod that adds a whole slew of home pieces you can use to build.

Thematic and Practical - Another mod that adds a whole slew of stuff you can build; this one primarily includes unique vendor stalls, furnishings that truly look like they’ve been made from things you’ve scavenged, and a really neat set of Brotherhood of Steel themed build components.

Cozy Beds - Adds a bunch of inviting looking new beds.

OCDecorator - Adds many vanilla items as static objects for placing in your settlements. Great for clutter and making your settlements look lived in.

Do It Yourshelf - Another great mod for making your places look lived in; a variety of shelves and clutter that snap to one another. Even comes with a variation of the clutter items that double as storage for your items!

Gruffydd’s Signs of the Times - A whole slew of signs and posters and so much more.

Orphans of the Commonwealth - Makes it possible for children to come to your settlements.

Lots More Settlers and Enemies - One of many mods that give you a wider variety of settlers.

Snap n’ Build is another FANTASTIC mod, but the author seems to have removed it for some reason. If you can find a reliable download from another website, I would recommend installing it. Comes with many different home shells.

ANIMATION MODS

Idle Hands - Gives your sole a wider variety of idle animations.

Lowered Weapons  - Simply lowers your character’s weapon when you have it out, but it’s not in use.

RETEXTURE/GAME AESTHETICS

Vivid Fallout Series - A series of mods that revamps a lot of the in-game textures, adding details, and in many cases, saving space as well.

DynaVision - Adds customizable depth of field and gives a more unique look to your game.

Fallout 4 Seasons - This is totally dependent on your preference. I’m personally loving the Spring mod.

I hope this has been helpful! ♥
