Y’all seen these videos
Dear everyone who is currently working on a Thing, whatever that Thing may be,
Good luck with the Thing. You can do the Thing. You will do the Thing. You just have to do the Thing.
Best wishes,
Someone who is also doing a Thing
huge fan of how whenever you try to address that the trend of black characters consistently being seen as less attractive and interesting due to traits that people famously laud white characters over is a systemic occurrence and even if you don't realize this about yourself it's important to recognize the pattern there will always without fail be at least 30 different chucklefucks going "so true i just didn't like him because i like this white character more but you're so right 🥰" it's awesome actually
I think a lot of people dislike Taash discussing gender and being non-binary so explicitly because it forces them to acknowledge those issues rather than remain comfortable ignoring them. Transgender identities in Veilguard are not an innuendo, an off-handed remark, but they're mentioned and discussed in a way that prevents working around them and disregarding them. All the talk of people mentioning how DA games should be "medieval fantasy" and not use "modern language" is just a facade for wanting to be able to ignore what makes people uncomfortable.
VEILGUARD ACRYLIC CHARMS AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW!! 🎉
I finished my Veilguard charms awhile ago but I've been dealing with a pretty significant and scary family emergency for the past few weeks so I haven't had a chance to really post about them. Any help in spreading the word would be much appreciated! 🙏
The pre-order for these bad boys is likely gonna end before the new year and I don't know that I'll have very much in-hand stock so if you want one now is your chance!! I'm also offering very limited spots for custom character charms, so if you're interested in getting merch of your Rook or Inquisitor... 👀 I wanna meet them!
P.S. NO one has bought Neve, Bellara, or Taash yet :,) please just one person adopt them 🙏 I worked so hard on their art and also Neve was my first DATV romance so I'm extra :,))) about her!!!
I've come far enough in DaV to have all companions and I don't get why so many people are upset with Taash's writing.
Y'all rave about having queer characters in the game, but as soon as a queer character isn't kissing everyone's ass 24/7 they're suddenly badly written?
If anything, Taash is perfectly written for being a baby trans who's discovering themselves. I sure was 10 times more difficult when I had my own self-discovery period.
I've also seen people whinge about that "Nobody likes being a woman" line.
Yeah, because Taash is forcing themselves into the woman mold and don't realize they're allwed not to. And they're assuming everyone feels the same because it's not like they've had discussions about it with anyone.
Misunderstand me not, there's been a lot of valid criticism of DaV, but Taash not being a trans character that is palatable to cis people is not it.
I find it infuriating that nobody seems to like Taash, but loves replacing them in mods for their romance scenes because they know it's hot.
Also, shout out to Taash DragonAge, for deciding to make out with their new partner in the middle of a fucking dragon den in the middle of Blight City, Thedas, right after the Siege of Weisshaupt when it is crawling with Blight. You are truly the Dragon Ageiest character there is.

By the way
I hope every person who uses a mod to remove a single one of her sweet, adorable freckles spends the rest of their lives unexpectedly stepping on legos.
