Sector 7G

A thrilling tale of drama, deceipt and horror, but with a happy ending.

Tutorial here.

For the Origin players…

in your heart shall burn is literally the coolest quest in the main dai campaign. i believe other quests are messy when it comes to the threat that the corypheus poses but iyhsb is so good.

it's so desperate, and you understand this panic, you feel it. you have to figure out everything while being attacked so suddenly, and to protect people, and here is a man or a boy at the gates, and this is such a good way to present a new companion, when you don't have a breath or moment to figure out more. there are other things that matter.

and you see a fucking dragon. you're attacked by what seems to be an archdemon!

and then you meet this absolute threat that is the elder one (before they make him ridiculously non-present in the rest of the game). and you have to face him alone, and people are leaving. then there's a physical damage (i think the quiz has to have at least a misplaced shoulder, concussion and several broken ribs).

then the future inquisitor is all by themself. it's night, and it's freezing cold, and your people are far away. the scene with the inquisitor finding their path through the snow is my favourite in the whole main game. it's so lonely and desperate and dire just as the rest of the quest. the quiz has to process so much, but not to stop.

this quest lets you feel this imbalance of power, that not everything is served on a silver platter for the main character and nets them 10000 of influence. it throws this realization in the player's face, that the inquisitor is weaker, that their people are weaker. the inquisition has to claw away their lives. their salvation is just a sheer luck.

so good.

What the past couple days have felt like

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU

ADDITIONALLY:

YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’

IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.

ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU

BREATHE - THE VERB FORM IN PRESENT TENSE

BREATH - THE NOUN FORM

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE

WANDER - TO WALK ABOUT AIMLESSLY

WONDER - TO THINK OF IN A DREAMLIKE AND/OR WISTFUL MANNER

THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE (but one’s mind can wander)

DEFIANT - RESISTANT DEFINITE - CERTAIN

WANTON - DELIBERATE AND UNPROVOKED ACTION (ALSO AN ARCHAIC TERM FOR A PROMISCUOUS WOMAN)

WONTON - IT’S A DUMPLING THAT’S ALL IT IS IT’S A FUCKING DUMPLING

BAWL- TO SOB/CRY

BALL- A FUCKING BALL

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, IT’S NOT “SIKE”; IT’S “PSYCH”. AS IN “I PSYCHED YOU OUT”; BECAUSE YOU MOMENTARILY MADE SOMEONE BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT WASN’T TRUE.

THANK YOU.

*slams reblog*

IT’S ‘MIGHT AS WELL’. ‘MIND AS WELL’ DOES NOT MAKE GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

SLEIGHT - DEXTERITY, ARTIFICE, CRAFT (FROM ‘SLY’) SLIGHT - VERY LITTLE, FRAIL, DELICATE

IT’S ‘SLEIGHT OF HAND’.

DISCRETE - SEPARATE, DISTINCT, PARTED

DISCREET - SUBTLE, STEALTHY, DIPLOMATIC

BORN= existing as a result of birth

BORNE= carried or transported by

LIGHTENING = to make something less dark in color or to lessen its weight

LIGHTNING = bright flash of light during electrical storms

{This is quite helpful. Thank you Rebloggers.}

((adm: I just want to add-

Loose- untight

Lose- opposite of winning))

((ALSO: A fun trick -  Affect = Action  Effect = End Result ))

There = In that place

Their = belonging to them

can’t = a contraction for cannot

cant = a tilt or lean at an angle, usually to accommodate accessibility

Me thinking that this is child’s play and that I know it all already:

Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:

TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER

TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3

TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE

WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD,

THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I’m gonna add

ROGUE: CRIMINAL/REBEL/VAGRANT/ETC

ROUGE: RED MAKEUP

it’s rogues gallery, guys. Not rouge gallery. You’re making me think batman has an extensive lipstick collection.

If you’re talking about a weapons CACHE, it’s pronounced cash.

If you say cashay, that’s how CACHET is pronounced which means prestige and does not mean a collection of items stored together in a hidden/inaccessible place.

NO ONE IS ‘PREJUDICE"

PEOPLE ARE “PREJUDICED”

If he’s not moving, he’s STATIONARY.

If he’s a fucking space pencil, then carry on with STATIONERY.

If it’s wet precipitation falling out of the sky, it’s RAIN

If it’s someone ruling over people, it’s REIGN

If it’s holding back someone from (or getting someone to stop doing) something, that’s to REIN [them] IN (…as if you were using REINS on a horse)

(and oh yeah)

If you’re telling someone they’re going to have to reconsider an opinion or course of action, then they have ANOTHER THINK COMING

(because “another thing coming” makes no damn sense whatsoever unless they’re in some kind of monster movie, ffs)

Just adding:

HOARD - (n.) a collection of stuff, (vb) to collect a collection of stuff.

HORDE - (n.) a collection, group, mob or host of people, often unruly or barbaric.

PEEL - (n.) the outside skin of fruit, also (archaic n.) a tower house, sometimes spelled PELE; (vb) to remove the outside skin of fruit; by extension, usually as PEEL OFF, to remove clothing, but also (aviation) to break away, one aircraft at a time, from a larger formation.

PEAL - (n.) the sound of several church bells ringing together or in sequence; (vb.) to ring bells in this manner.

BREACH - (n.) a break or opening, usually in a wall; (vb) to make such an opening, also a whale rising clear of the surface of the sea. (The words BREACH and BREAK are distant relatives.)

BREECH - (n.) the bottom end of a gun-barrel, where it’s loaded; also (BREECH PRESENTATION) a baby being born bottom-foremost; also (n. pl.) BREECHES, a historical style of trousers ending just below the knee and (archaic vb) to BREECH, to dress a boy in breeches (adult clothing) for the first time.

English is…  Complicated.

And my favourite recent one,

It is “TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES” and not “TO ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES”.

ah the duality of mass effect.

truly remarkable

that one fucking concept art of the dragon age races that depicts dwarves like this:

you suck and i defy you

this makes me violent <3

Calling all dragon age artists! Let’s see your interpretation of what dwarven women should look like!

Okay, here u go

this feels like a good time to give a shoutout to Sophie Campbell’s dwarves [1] [2] [3]

it brings me so much joy when female dwarves look like dwarves

Adding on Senshi (M) and Namari (F) from Dungeon Meshi!

Considering this is Bioware, there’s a distinct possibility that non-shitty concept art existed at some point, presumably before a Creepy Marketing Guy intervention.

I’m nonetheless impressed how someone saw that thing and concluded it’s good enough to go public, rather than bury it on the studio’s archives.

Dwarven women do tend to get a particularly short (hah) end of the suspicious dimorphism stick, don’t they? Remember the loli ones?

There’s absolutely no reason for a dwarf lady NOT to be badass, cute, stout and have facial hair, all at the same time.

Good thing that artists like Sophie Campbell exist. @luccorvus doing the gods’ work here too! I only wish creatives like them were actually given control over character design in some big mainstream project. And that they didn’t have to pander to some aggressively cishetero marketing specialist who can’t handle fat, muscles and whiskers on a fictional fantasy woman, let alone a real one. Even in case of Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon, Namari might be beardless but actually looks like the same species as the male dwarf. 

Don’t be a coward, make dwarves look like dwarves, regardless of gender!

The Commander In Disguise

Things about Malchor’s Leap that kinda suck:

- It’s Orr and Orr is tedious in general

- All the uneven surfaces sometimes make it feel like Verdant Brink Lite™

- So. Many. Exploding. Chickens.

Things about Malchor’s Leap that are kinda great:

- The random overdramatic anguished cry of “DWAAAAYNAAAAAAAAAA”
