Emily 30. I reblog stuff that I like. I
rarely tag things. Have fun.

highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.

me: oh thomas cromwell, we're really in it now. every day i get emails.

the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: i was on committees with the duke of norfolk. and they beheaded me.

me: yep. good point.

me: cromwell. cromwell this post has got too big and famous and people are starting to misunderstand me on it.

the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: oh no! you achieved too much fame and status? and now people are misrepresenting you? should we strip your lands and title? have you been beheaded?

me: YES ALRIGHT FINE

Interesting how Solas predicted the Bioware outcome...

Solas: You created a powerful organization, and now it suffers the inevitable fate of such: betrayal and corruption.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

  • the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
  • taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
  • at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
  • 'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
  • it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
  • it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
  • you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
  • young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
  • there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Medicine, Gustav Klimt, 1907 (print) The iconic Medicine painting by Gustav Klimt, created for the University of Vienna ceiling in 1907, was sadly destroyed by Nazi troops in 1945, along with two other related works from the same series.

To everyone considering paying 5 billion dollars per year to play gamecube games on switch

Take my hand. I can show you a better way

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

felassan things that kept me awake last night:

  • the 4,000 year time span between the veil and the masked empire during which felassan could only ever have spoken to solas in dreams when at all.
  • the years solas spent in the lighthouse with all those fucking notes from felassan around. "don't cause too much trouble before i get there."
  • the only time anyone says felassan's name out loud in the video games is when solas says it in an ancient arlathan memory
  • solas not painting felassan a mural in the lighthouse and only referring to him as "my agent," once, but still regretting what happened with him so much that it's one of the three big revenants powered by his regret, after the titans and mythal???? sir your repression
  • the ambiguity of "the betrayal of felassan" as the name of that revenant. whose betrayal of whom.
  • the heart of corruption/revenant dragon residing in the same place felassan used to go to get away from everything.
  • felassan calling it "our rebellion."
  • felassan being aware that he would die if he reported back to solas, seeing a plausible way he could run instead, and reporting back anyway.
  • the tone he takes during his death scene being so friendly and nonchalant, "what's the harm really" and "i suspect you'll hate this," like he's still trying to talk to solas like they are friends and equals even while he is aware solas is about to kill him.
  • felassan isn't even his real/original name and in one of his veilguard notes he refers to being felassan at all as being "solas's friend felassan" like that identity is inextricably tied to his friendship with solas, he cannot be felassan without also being solas's friend.
  • "and you are the slow arrow?" / "i hope so."
