The Distinctive And Memorable Thailand-only Covers For The Harry Potter Novels.

Cassandra has a blinding, powerful crush on Aveline and that’s just fact, the reason Cullen’s leading the Inquisition forces instead of Aveline is because the first time Cassandra tried to say a sentence to Aveline, she instead just laughed nervously and excused herself. The second time Aveline beat her in an arm wrestling match and told her to get the hell out of her office. The third time Aveline said she wasn’t interested in running some ragtag army, thank you, not while Kirkwall is still half rubble. The fourth time, Cassandra tried to arrest her. She panicked. It’s what she does when she panics. Aveline rolled her eyes and said after seven years of friendship with Hawke, she’s not scared of some Chantry brute on a crusade, and Cassandra tried to say something insulting back but just ended up stammering something about not needing to take this kind of lip from handsome women with bright red hair and big strong arms and a smile as wonderful as her loyalty to her friends, and at that point Cassandra just cut her losses and fled. 

Varric doesn’t know any of this because Aveline doesn’t gossip. The moment Varric learns, Cassandra has already decided she’ll need to leave the Inquisition or murder a dwarf. Fifty-fifty. 

Taliesin’s character is very gender, as always, but can we also appreciate that he really said, “Try to kill my character this campaign, Matt, I dare you.”

Welcome to the Mighty Nein!

I still think this is one of the better things I’ve put out into the internet actually

Listen I’m not fully caught up on the manga or anime, but the Endeavor redemption leaves a really bad taste in my mouth so far. Especially because it’s barely brought up while focusing on his relationship with his kids that he BOUGHT HIS WIFE.

Also I feel like the people who I’ve seen talk about online end up excusing his behavior because of in world reasons (ex: he’s the number one hero so he can’t be held accountable) when they don’t recognize that it’s being written by a person, and the person wrote it that way for a reason.

Like when you’re writing a story about abuse and you focus more on how the abusers feel about their actions than how the victims do…that seems odd.

First week of #31daysofharry challenge :)

Honestly I don't want to loose this gem

okay things to think about future movie nights:

Scott/Sara getting invited to movie night as soon as they’re allowed to leave the medbay

they tease their twin relentlessly about the cuddling with the LI

they tell everyone embarrassing stories from when they were kids

Reyes getting invited to movie night

he’s not exactly sure if he wants to, some of the crew still side eye him pretty hard (this is doubled with Scott/Sara there, tripled if Ryder is in a relationship with him)

it turns out to be a very fun evening and the crew relaxes a little around him

Vetra invites Sid, who absolutely jumps at getting aboard the tempest

Sid tries to sit in between Ryder and Vetra if they’re in a relationship “Leave room for Spirits, Vetra.”

Sid and Scott/Sara bonding over being the left out sibling

Gil says he wants to invite Jill and the stipulation is she can’t talk about re-population or try to convince anyone to have kids

Gil promises she’ll be on her best behavior

She is not on her best behavior. she keeps showing people pictures of babies and ultrasounds like they’re her own

Peebee complaining that this is getting way out of hand

a second couch is needed

Casual!Ryder trying to act out things, everyone is begging them not to

Professional!Ryder getting asked constantly to reenact scenes with various crewmates

everyone arguing for a week beforehand about what kind of movie to watch. Lexi, Cora, and Jaal want an asari flick, Liam, Vetra, and Drack want action, Peebee always wants to watch the Blasto movies, Suvi wants to watch any and all versions of Planet Earth, Kallo likes the spaceship version of pimp my ride but he and Gil argue over 90% of it, and Reyes keeps lowkey offering pirate movies.

They eventually have to start a rotation

the fact that even all these years later, people are still arguing over Aang’s choice to not kill Ozai suggests that A. ATLA is the goddamn best and you just can’t recapture the lightning in a bottle that it was and, B. it’s really kind of disturbing how many people are obsessed with the idea that Aang should have committed murder.

You see a lot of this in the fandom. Constant debates about how Katara and Zuko’s quest for revenge was correct in the Southern Raiders (despite the narrative painting Katara’s choice at the end as a correct one), advocating for greater violence on Aang’s part, and so on. But a biggest, disturbing trend is for people to claim that Aang’s decision to not violate the most sacred principle of his people as being immature.

There’s a tendency nowadays to see violence as not just a solution, but the only solution. That the only way to resolve a problem is to end life; to hurt people. It’s called a cop out when Aang chooses to put his own existence on the line.

The implication, therefore, is that the people advocating this sincerely believe that the mature thing to do is to kill.

Similar in nature to posts talking about how superheroes not killing is weak.

And the idea here, of the willingness to kill as a sign of strength, and as the only real solution to anything, is a deeply disturbing and unsettling one.

If Aang had killed Ozai, it truly would have been the end of the Air Nomads, their most sacred spiritual law broken by their only surviving member. Because Aang would have sunk to the level of the man who had ordered his people killed in the first place, and that of the nation which carried it out.

But when he Energybent, he knew that if he failed, he would have died in the process, and Ozai with him. Not only was Aang willing to put his life on the line for his beliefs, he was genuinely willing to die rather than sacrifice who he was, and the last lingering remnant of the Air Nomads.
