The way my heart sunk reading about Ashley Johnson and her struggle at the abuse of BWF. Never did I imagine things were that bad. I care so much about this woman. Call it para socia, I spend 4 hours a week watching this wonderful human, I wish her only peace and love.

To everyone who wants to romance Jaheira- just play the first two games, babies! Without any spoilers, though, I will say I have never romanced her and probably never will despite my undying love and major crush on her.

Can we stop infantilizing Astarion? It's weird. He was not turned as a teenager. He was a 40 year old man. Elves do not mature slower than humans. They just live longer. Like the character is tragic enough, people are reaching to make him the bleakest they possibly can because..?

DAI Mod Idea: Mod that makes it so when you play as a Cadash (and only as a Cadash), being around Red Lyrium makes you hear scary voices and disturbing noises.
If you play any race and spec into Templar Warrior, you also hear Red Lyrium, but it sounds like soft whiskery singing.

Here's a fact (whether or not it was deliberate):
In the Hissing Wastes, the darkness your party wanders the desert in is within a couple hours of dawn. We know this because the bird in the background singing is a robin, who begins singing just over an hour before sunrise.

Twitter spaces are not lectures. Hosts are not professors. It is a community space for building conversation. If you don't add to the conversation, if you don't partake in building community, then think before you critique the people being open and vulnerable in these spaces.

I'm conflicted on it personally. I thought Caleb and Essek's epiloque was beautiful, but the ambiguity stung because it exists in a context of so many other queer-bated / erasure of mlm relationships in game media. To hear it said explicitly would have meant a lot to many.

Garrus definitely deserves criticism, but I think the difference is that Aveline becomes the system and embodies the issues with policing to excuse her guards, but this is not a comment by the narrative. Garrus' moral grayness is a big part of the exploration of his character.

It *is* a bit mean to say. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course, but your platform reaches those solavellan fans. To go out of your way to shame someone for their taste is harsh and it can do damage to people if this ship means a lot to them. Kindness takes little.

Some of y'all make hating your entire personality. Jabs here and there are one thing, but only identifying yourself with things you don't like is bad for mental health and sense of self, and puts a lot of people in your community on edge. If that's your goal, so be it.

My biggest fear for datwt (fans and devs alike) is that the impulse to react quickly and strictly is counter to the act of compassion. It turns disagreement into disrespect when it can instead be a moment to learn and understand. Pause. Breath. And imagine others complexly.
