This fan art bought us another season and put food on all of our tables. We will always be indebted to you.

Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.

and interestingly even though we're coming up on a YEAR (how???) i don't feel done with the game at all; I'll be starting another playthrough soon but need to decide who/what/when (plus i have mcm coming up next week, but have time off work after that)

finally wrapped my mourn watch playthrough last night, after *coughcough* months. (5, it's 5)

which is way too long but executive dysfunction is my constant nemesis; it's a miracle i get anything done at all honestly

another chonker playthrough though at 145h 😅 had a blast as usual!

the only variant i can think of, aside from faction, is this run had davrin die instead of harding. i did get the dialogue about him though! strange...

Mad 🔜 MCM 🎃 @madzilla84.bsky.social · 1d

interesting - i noticed that some dialogue during romanced emmrich's convos after tearstone (in these pics) wasn't there during my MW run; presumably it got 'replaced' by the MW-specific faction dialogue (an update about what's happening there)? the varric one wasn't there either

much chiller now than in its heyday. it can be good for particular fandoms or general stuff (very funny place) but I don't think it's great for DA; way too much negativity (and that isn't new, it's always been like that). not as bad as twt though, correct

E! I've now played 3 of the 6 (SD, Crow, MW) and still like that one the most. Or at least, it fits the story I want to tell the best! #dragonage

As of today, Nintendo’s platform game “Super Mario Bros.” was released closer to the end of fighting in World War II than to the present day.

it was a really nice full-circle moment for emmrich and taash, though, from their first banter all the way through to their last :_) #dragonage

Screenshot from dragon age the veilguard. subtitle reads: Taash: don't touch me if I die. Emmrich: I ... beg your pardon?

Screenshot from dragon age the veilguard. subtitle reads: Taash: Don't do weird magic to my corpse. No death magic. Rook gets my body if I die.

Screenshot from dragon age the veilguard. subtitle reads: Taash: Thanks! I guess you can have my corpse.

Screenshot from dragon age the veilguard. subtitle reads: Taash: Just make me a skeleton so it's less gross. And put gems in my eye sockets. Red ones.

i brought these two to the final battle and of course their final piece of banter together was about his FUCKASS HELMET 😭💚

never got to hear all his trash talk to my companions in DAI because he died too fast

Mad 🔜 MCM 🎃 @madzilla84.bsky.social · 2d

A - the Legacy fight was fun and had cool mechanics (different to any other boss fight) and dialogue, whereas the DAI one was kind of an anticlimax and - i can't believe *I* am saying this, when I suck at games - it was too easy, both mechanically and in-universe

they came out as gay (separately) years ago but refused to comment on their relationship (which was fine); most people assumed (bc why wouldn't you) but they never talked about it, until now!

VERY delighted that was the first post i saw once i logged onto tumblr. some traditions are sacred in this house!!

the destiel meme that delivers the news. subtitles read 'i love you' 'phan is real'

i got absolutely obliterated by ogres because i was playing through the ending of DAV when i got the notif on my phone

they are notorious clickbaiters (fond) but this time i was like. hang on.

a rebrand, a hard launch and a podcast all at the same time NO ONE IS DOING IT LIKE THEM!!!

YouTube notification for the video Is Phan Real? the truth

JFC!! another day i thought would never come! but then again I’ve been saying that a lot about them for the last couple of years and they keep surprising me 🥰

fucking hell, i’m so happy for them, that they’ve gotten to a place where they’re finally happy and comfortable to be free and themselves 💕
