Stanford Pines - Shan'Dirth Aenadahl
Rift mage / Veil Jumper
Shan - old, Dirth - speech/talk, Aenadahl - Pine tree
Design Notes:
Dirthamen Vallaslin: Dalish god of secrets and knowledge
Vallaslin was altered by Bill which was later burned off by Ford
Also a trained artificer
Attire is mainly elven, with Kirkwall design details (see belt buckle/belts)
Staff is not his original, rather made while he was stuck in the Fade
left eye is green/yellow due to Bill's possession
Missed literally everything that has happened in the first two games
Journal 3
Triangles represent Bill and the Veil/Fade similar to the murals
Notes on Elven murals across Thedas
Veil mural markings

The thing that gets me about making toph more traditionally feminine is the way it’s being treated as if toph has some sort of weird internalized misogyny for being too masculine when like, there is a whole episode dedicated to her and katara doing traditionally feminine stuff together and having a fun day. It’s not like she rejects everything fem it’s just those things aren’t really toph’s preferred way to have fun so of course she only really does it once in a blue moon.
it’s a great time to be a hater, many things are bad and lots of stuff sucks. it’s also a terrible time to be a hater, because many people will insist that you have to like the bad thing because a company spent millions of dollars making it and it’s just not very nice to say it’s bad

fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism
now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning
