This Blog probably contains everything

i dont remember the post i saw or who made it so this doesnt count as a vague but 'actually it's good bioware retconned the agents of fen'harel because it would've been Bad Representation to have an antagonistic faction made up of the in-universe oppressed minority' well no it was straight up cowardice and the refusal to grapple with the reasons why marginalized peoples might come to believe their best recourse for a world that wants them dead top to bottom is fundamentally changing the nature of the world in a way that, yes, may read as apocalyptic to those currently in power, but the alternative is for the forgotten to continue slowly bleeding out to sustain their comfort

Not that bioware could have landed that but don't pretend it's More Nuanced not to even try. and it's literally just narratively stupid as hell

me and my homies support real artists who put their passion into their pieces instead of a machine who rips off the hard work of talented peeps

How long does it take for Solas and Lavellan to trust again? Not just each other, but their circumstances as well.

Forgiveness is a choice. Trust can be a choice, but often it's involuntary, knee jerk, and fluid. Your mind wants things to be one way but your gut is unconvinced until arbitrary and unclear criteria are met.

How long will it be before they stop catching themselves parsing each other's words for veiled meaning or manipulation? Like it or not, they've been in opposition for far longer than they were allies, how many misdirections and half truths have passed between them in either direction over the last decade? How long does it take them to believe the new reality that words are words and not hidden knives to be wary of?

How long will it be before either can wake alone and believe that they have not been abandoned for some self-sacrificing reason or another, or pulled away by some 'deserved' twist of fate? That instead the other has merely stepped into the adjacent room for a glass of water and will return?

They desperately want the security they know the other longs to offer, but how long does it take for it to be real enough to believe?
