So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

if you're advocating for throwing trans people under the bus then fuck you trans rights are human rights, and every mealy-mouthed suggestion that we just throw SOME of them under the bus makes you a coward and a villain grow a fucking spine and stand for something, christ

I'M SO OBSESSED

Please never be too afraid to tell your friends you love them. Platonic love is too often shunned or declared as weird but it's just as important, if not more, than romantic love. So tell your friends you love them, they might just needed to hear that in a world as cruel and stressful as ours.

So I'm gonna rant here about something that I've seen happen a few times in my time DA: this idea that Lavellan/Cullen are "less compatible" bc they are from different cultures. This is at it's core racist/xenophobic thinking

i love analysis i love overthinking i love looking at a story and finding multiple interpretations i love character arcs i love point of view clashes i love conflict i love!!! text!!!!

me, ayden, fythe, and rafe

LOL I just realized if we are saying what the devs say outside game is canon- ASIANS DONT EXIST IN THEDAS LOL AND THE FUNNIEST SHIT IS THE DATAMINES OF THE GAME STATE LUCANIS IS POTENTIALLY ASIAN SO GUESS WHAT? YA MAN DOESNT EVEN EXIST!

As a Latina, I really appreciate Zevran as a piece of representation. There are some aspects of his character are dated, certainly, but Zevran was a very fresh take on a latine character imo. It bothers me when people call him a latino lover stereotype because it completely ignores the queerness

if i could get shots of the oc ships like this i would actually go insane

I WOULD NEVER LEAVE PHOTOMODE

choosing quotes for these very funny actually because it’s like yeah i built this pinterest board very specifically but no one who wasn’t present in the discord for some very specific midnight conversations will know that this is emotionally resonant actually

and i’m not apologising for it

THEY!!!!!

they’re so fucking important to meeeee

if you see this, post a quote that encapsulates your ship

last two reposts read the threads!

Piggybacking a bit off @orangeandclover.bsky.social (who is brilliant) re: Davrin. Davrin is afaik the only companion who doesn't make any references to any past relationships. For all we know, he's a virgin. But nobody ever headcanons him as a virgin. Why is that? (Clover gave you a hint)

I gotta talk about Davrin for a sec, unfortunately this is gonna address how are anti-black (always been a problem in DA fandom) by reducing Davrin as just a romance for ppl if they what sex/sex object yall are oversexualizing him which there is a long racist history of oversexualizing black bodies

Once again. Puritan culture in fandom is a parasite. I don't talk about my sexuality much because it's a touchy subject. But I am bisexual, and witnessing BLATANT sex-shaming, derogatory discourse because people can't conceive bisexuals/pans think about something OTHER THAN SEX is MADDENING

anyway more importantly for today happy BIRTHDAY to @marvelousgoose.bsky.social

Friendly reminder that the term "playersexual" is very much biphobic, and it doesn't fucking exist. If you can romance a character in a game regardless of the PC's gender, said character is either bi or pan.

Still gonna talk about DATV bc that’s what I liked to do here: If you want to take one writers word as “canon” when it was said on social media, that has to apply universally. So I guess Emmrich actually sleeps standing up now? And Alistair would be a bad boyfriend? Devs social posts are not canon

i’m not posting to be confrontational but i stand by everything i said yesterday. calling someone demi in a bsky post does not make them canonically ace, it is absolutely fucked up to imply that non-aces only think about sex (and you still implied that even without meaning to!), and i’m asexual

also hi good morning i get the impression things kept happening while i was asleep

anyway polyamorous lucanis is real to me btw <3

Realized I’ve updated a lot of my fics without promoting them here so I’m gonna take a minute to shamelessly do so! Hits include: A Modern Occult/Mafia AU (Rookanis)! A Time Travel AU in which Daphne is forbidden from saving Lucanis! A Queer Bar AU where Lucanis is a polyamorous drag star! #nsfw
