give me the character creator, bioware, and i will forgive you for the spoiler. i promise

to have solas remove your vallaslin while convincing you that they are bad markings, and *then* later reveal that he is the god of trickery, manipulation, etc. is a wild play and a crazy good love story.

i can write an essay on how each black character within any bioware game has been hated. vivienne for being “too mean” (paired with her pro-circle thoughts), liam for being “boring” (along with how he talks to some of the companions), isabela + being white washed, and jacob…..

do you ever think about jacob (from mass effect) and how much bioware failed him…

saying this once again:
being a black gamer in any white majority fandom space is one of the most mentally exhausting things to do. arguing with people who are racist/bigoted give me a migraine.

moots, don’t judge me, but i did some thinking: i actually think it makes perfect sense why solas would prefer someone elven. that doesn’t mean he should have been gender-locked to only fem (i do think it should have been fem/masc), but i understand why it was only elf.

i swear on everything: i will fight and defend davrin with my life. this fandom has been ruthless against black characters already, and i will defend him with my last breath. he is the FIRST black man and that is a huge accomplishment in itself.

today’s confessions: thinking about how, as a black solavellan fan, my black oc is lost in a sea of white ocs (because of the majority). and joining a space to talk about solavellan would probably be unsafe, so im isolated to my little corner to think about my elven babe.

and i already feel davrin being hated for the actions of his voice actor. so, it’s gonna be a rough one.

each one has a white/race (in terms of mass effect) counterpart that has said or done something 10x worse, yet the black characters are criticized even harder. just something to think about.

im so serious about this though. the bar is to the floor with character creators, and me and the black gaming community have had it. we want better. we deserve it.

like his story could have been that his father lost touch because of his disapproval of jacob’s involvement with cerberus, but he still goes on the same mission. instead, we have to find him through the jungle, use clues, and fight through enemies that inhabit the planet.

@Eikonicx
you missed the entire point of the tweet. i said that she isn’t disliked within the fandom because she’s black, but the pattern in how black characters are written within bioware games is something to think about. in turn, how they are written perpetuates fandom treatment.

and once we get to him, we kind of find him near death, but he survives, and they build their relationship over the break between the 2 and 3. and at the end, you either encourage jacob to keep talking with his father or not. but instead, we got the “deadbeat” dad route…🙄

as he was someone who wanted to preserve his culture (not that of the dalish, but before) and right his wrongs to the elven people, which meant sacrificing the world, it makes sense why he would prefer someone who could understand.

im actually terrified of joining any other bg3 spaces because of the racist things i’ve seen already. it’s not for the weak, and i need to surround myself with likeminded individuals or i’ll continue to be a little shut-in lol

i think about it every single day, and the hate that he and his VA got (and still get).

idk what possesses people to hate wyll. his story isn’t too bad (outside of a few weird details), his romance is great, and he is hot. what’s the problem? 🤨
bonus: his voice actor is hot too. so…?

like, am i missing something he said that would prove this thought false?
of course, i’m not saying he shouldn’t romance someone outside of the elven race, but im saying i get why they chose him to be race-locked. if it is intention, it kind of fits the narrative.

it could be that i’m seeing it through the lens of a black person, and how we try to preserve our culture as a whole community.

it’s even harder to detect because a lot of people hide behind fantasy characters and debates, thinking they found some way to oppress themselves. when, in actuality, it is in no way similar to what poc face in real life, lol.

we do understand later that he doesn’t reveal it, but he wanted to. and when you talk to him about the orb, he stands in solidarity with the elven inquisitor about how they’ll blame their “people” (or if non-elven, he says my people i think)

using the dragon dogma 2’s cc demo, i made my main dragon age worldstate line-up.

so much truth to this! i became my ocs’ number one fan, and in turn, people will like them. i purposely make mine incredibly unique, and sometimes people don’t understand, but it makes me love them so much more!!! so keep posting and loving your pixel babies!!!
Tough reality check incoming!
I see a lot of people going "well my OC isn't popular so what's the point" and you absolutely *need* to ditch that mindset. A year ago, no one knew who Bella was. But I did, I nurtured and grew her, comm'd art of her, *I* am her number one fan.

this is a really good point. i have noticed this a lot, which is why i tend to bow out of commenting on any discourse because it’s overwhelmed by a yt person interjecting and restating what bipoc people already said…and their voice is heightened while ours is silenced.

same about mixed feelings. it’s a shame that we had wait SEVEN patches for these basic level fixes for a MAIN companion, but alas, at least they are fixing issues now. he deserves so much more.

@grr_gladys
if the player wasn’t lavellan, the impact of them falling in love with him, wouldn’t be as great of a devastation as that. it’s almost like a betrayal to their somewhat shared culture. at least to the dalish. that doesn’t mean there couldn’t have been a good story with a non-elf

this makes me visibly angry actually…………..and one of these is a MINOR characters that you only see ONCE. you can see how deep and strong the racism goes.
God forbid any black characters in Baldur’s gate actually stay having black features too..

@grr_gladys
but, i think that a lavellan is *still* closer to that than the other races. like to some extent, they know a small portion of their history (even though some parts may be wrong as he thinks). there are also parts in his romance that make the narrative even more compelling +

to my fellow black DA/BG3 fan: you may think one thing, and it’ll end up another way. please, i beg you, find spaces that are truly authentic and safe.
find more black fans and stay together, because either of these fandoms will eat you alive. so please…stay safe.

you are absolutely correct! they took their time crafting his story, personality, complexities and everything else. he is so intriguing and with every dialogue, i wanted to learn more. masterpiece.

@Eikonicx
but the conversation lies with how they carry themselves. they both have similar personalities and speak similar lines and yet vivienne is labeled differently. even if we view morrigan, who speaks similarly to her as well, she’s not hated nearly as much.

like we have to post everything, and let people know what we think when we think it with no time in between to process our own thinking.
