You will not convince me to ever get as deep into conversation/analysis about DA2 on here as I do on TikTok.
Bc the reason I never talked about DA2 10 years ago is an attitude I KNOW still exists within some of you who remain here today. Some of the people who were the reason people lurked back then are still on here. To be frank, y’all scare me.
The discourse around Marian Hawke, the bad and lacking-in-nuance takes around certain companion characters… the inability to talk about mage rights and Anders’ actions with literally an ounce of grey mixing into the black and white thinking 😭 “I support him and wish I could contribute” vs. “I think he’s the most evil evil to ever evil in any universe”
… it’s just so bad 😭😭
No thank you. There’s a reason I lurked then. Because this fandom has nightmarish takes and a mean attitude around it. All while being Completely Convinced™️ that they have a right to be judgmental about everyone else for having vaguely differing opinions or interpretations 😭😭
#dragon age#dragon age 2#da2#I love Fenris with my heart and soul but you could not pay me#to interact with some of his stans on here#and the discourse around Marian was so sick and twisted#the misogyny some of y’all never apologized for#the way FemHawke mains had to just excuse ourselves entirely from fandom lest be harassed#Anders as a general topic still makes my brain hurt on BOTH sides of the aisle#nuance where?

2, 3, 15, 16 from the fandom asks! :3
Hiiiii! :D
thanks for asking!
Tis the prompt list
2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!
I'll answer with a ship and not because it feels like when you get asked what's your favourite movie and suddenly it feels like you never watched one movie in your life: VarricxSolas
I wasn't that sure at first, it didn't really convince me.
But then I read more on the internet. And well. A certain AU happened.
3. a character that fandom has helped you appreciate
Anders.
I still think that he's a missed chance, he could have been so much better with so little, and it has to be added that I have a LOW tolerance for people and characters that whines for the sake of it, without doing nothing about it. But, I came to appreciate him more and see more nuance in his character.
Also: Vivienne.
Mind me, I liked her as a character for the purpose she served!
But the fandom, and @shivunin in particular helped me see more nuance in her character that I hadn't caught in any of my playthroughs, both dued to the kind of character I played (Aisling constantly hit the one dialogue option that had Vivienne disapproving... Radha fared a little better but not enough)
I saw her much more as a Maleficent-like figure than she actually was, and I loved discovering a caring side of her that I hadn't caught at first. (Note: I LOVE Maleficient in the cartoon. It's a compliment.)
15. the character that always makes you smile
Already answered here, but let me reiterate:
16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate
Cullen technically knows Hawke is a mage since Act 1. He never says anything. I do not think that he failed to recognise that Hawke and his friends are carrying magic staffs in the Gallows, if you bring them there.
This is in no way a willingness to justify all the rest of the shit that he spits out my goodness my man roll that thought in your head before vomiting it out like that PLEASE... But to say that the basics for a redemption arc were there. Or like... Why didn't he say anything? Why if he said something didn't Meredith act? WHY?
And the pendant with the wolves howling at the moon in DA2 which I always make Fenris wear because yes. Down with the emo vibes someone gift him a Tokio Hotel cd.
#love your fandom asks#petrel replies#please don't throw me rotten eggs at vivienne I swear I never hated her#it's just that I never EVER had one good interaction with her it was comical at a certain point#Aisling: *breathes* Vivienne: *disapproves* Me: WHY???

Joe Hills saying he misses Oli is killing me painfully. Please Joe*, join MCC so you can be put on a team with Oli. Join one of the POW creations SMPs. Everyone should be doing all within our power to bring these two star crossed, bardic souls back together.
*Joe; abstraction. I am aware these things are not directly under their control alone, and relies on the whims of fate and other's plans
#my favorite part of the crossover was (checks notes) EVERY TIME THESE TWO INTERACTED#they fed off each other so well#out weirding each other was so goooooood#do drugs still makes me laugh in the middle of the baking aisle when i remember it#oli is joes damsel in distress#they are two cats at the shelter with the DO NOT SEPARATE tag#put them back together#me talking

Romance ambivalent aro culture is having no one know what romance ambivalence is.
.
#first-aisle#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod kee#romance ambivalent aro culture#honestly i don't really use any of the terms and boy howdy does that confuse the fuck out of so many groups#like i may experience repulsion or favorability or whatever#but i don't really tie those to my identity beyond aromanticism#like i dislike a lot of romance in amatonormative and heteronormative media because i'm aromantic#but i adore media which explores rarepairs or crackpairs through a serious lens to find ways in which those characters can interact#and i'd also say that is because i'm aromantic

i love nothing more than sitting in an establishment be it a store a waiting room or whatever and getting to hear the employees actually playing around with each other and enjoying each others company
#brought to you by one of doctors assistant talking about a date she's excited about#and the other one asking why he hasn't been invited to the wedding and when she asked why she wasn't invited to his#he goes you will be :) in five years#then the receptionist says 'i better be the first one on the invitation list' and he like#does an airplane movement with his hand and says 'oh its gonna be on an island'#she goes 'im gonna need to stack up my money if im walking you down the aisle'#like this is such a normal casual interaction but i loooove seeing people enjoying their time together#its so human it cures my brain worms#its so mundane right? is it even a story worth telling??#no i'll forget it in a week#but right now it's like#yeah i need mundane i need human#love when people are people

I need to know if anyone has met or known anyone that has met or even just publicly caught a glimpse of nolpats out in public… because I’m just thinking about the girl who met him at tillys (she blessed us very well with that pic)… and I’ve also heard some flyers wives-carnival interactions but it all radiates that the dudes just intimidating and stand-offish (respectfully so… like I get it babe). 😭😭😭
#I may or may not be tipsy for todays thought of the day#but no fr like picture your just in your grocery story… picking out salad dressing#and it’s the man himself just beside you in the aisles like oh okay#I’m also a weirdo that loves when ppl start giving breakdowns of social interactions like yes tell me he was an awkward asshole!!#I am so sorry for this#nolan patrick#nolpat#my post

if no one was home right now i would be prancing around and shaking my arms inthe air while shouting "transformers!! WHOO!"
#its really funny seeing the stark difference of how i interacted with my main interests#like fnaf vs tf again#like i saw images of toy store transformers themed toy aisles (from 2000s to 2010s) and i just felt like WHOOO THIS ROCKS#and learning theres an optimus statue in london made me feel like crying in a good way like. proud or just touched that optimus is such a#cultural icon. transformers in general but it means more when its optimus#but if i saw the same back when fnaf was the main thing i wouldve been like....everyone shut up...no one talk about it...i hate you all..#in like a jealous way#with tf i enjoy sharing the love with everyone

Aisle by Sam Barlow
============= Links
Play the game
Read walkthrough - ClubFloyd Transcript (players commentary)
See other reviews of the game
See other games by Sam (Wikipedia)
============= Synopsis
"Late Thursday night. You've had a hard day and the last thing you need is this: shopping. Luckily, the place is pretty empty and you're progressing rapidly. On to the next aisle...
============= Other Info
Aisle is an Inform 6 parser game, first published in 1999. It is a beloved short IF game which became a staple in the IF annals, wining Best Medium at the XYZZY awards and making it on multiple best IF games of all times lists. The game was also parodied in Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle and referenced in other IF parsers.
Status: Completed
Genre: Slice-of-life
CW: /
Note: depending on the action picked: violence, assault, mention of death, depression, illnesses, suicide, murder, nudity (those account for about 15% of actions?)
============= Playthrough
First Played: Jan/Feb? 2023*
Last Played: 26-May-2023
Playtime: around 30min (walkthrough)
Rating: - /5
Thoughts: A beautiful and tragic game, a masterpiece of good experimentation.
*technically not played by myself, but during a shared streaming with the French IF Community
============= Review
Aisle started out as a game which would not need the usual meta-verbs... i.e. a game with only one turn. The initial idea was: How do I make a game with only one turn interesting? Give it lots of endings--in fact there are many 'endings' and (hopefully) every sensible action results in an 'ending'. There is no winning action. There is however more going on than just this and the more endings you see the more things should become clear." [--blurb from The Z-Files Catalogue]
Spoilers ahead. It is recommended to play the game first. The review is based on my understanding/reading of the story.
You play an (older?) gentleman doing some late night groceries after a long day. Most of it is pretty mundane and uninteresting, until you see some fresh gnocchi in the pasta aisle. Your mind can only think of the last time you had those, in Rome. Around you, the shelves block your view to the other aisles, and a brunette woman stands a few meters away, filling her trolley with pots of sauce.
And in this aisle you stop your trolley, waiting on what to do next.
Though I never found more than a few dozens by myself/with the French IF peeps, there are over 136 actions producing an ending in this game. 136! Whether you interact with yourself or your environment, there are a lot more you can explore with this very restrained environment.
Even if the experiment of one-action-the-end is truly amusing and insanely entertaining (who doesn't like a treasure hunt for all 136 endings*), it is the writing that shines the most in this piece. The game is humourus, and dark, has bits of lightness, and becomes incredibly sordid, it is sad and genuinely touching... It can say so much with so very little. Truly incredible.
*a Gotta Catch them All! but endings xD
Through the endings, a backstory forms around the PC. Or maybe two or three. He had a wife, went to Rome with her, but something happened (death/illness/something else?), and he was left alone. It is not truly clear what happened to his wife, or the PC's involvement in said disappearance/death*, but what is certain is the pain and the guilt the PC still feels after all this time (has it be years, by now?), making him unable to form new connections with people, leaving him truly and completely alone. What stays is his fond memory of that trip to Rome and those gnocchi he ate there...
*some endings mention the PC killing the wife, others talks of her suicide (assisted/alone, etc...
======== Sidenote
Aisle is the reason The Roads not Taken exists. The OG idea was to recreate the gameplay of Aisle, but in a different setting. While this didn't pan out, TRNT was still heavily influenced by this game.

@thenightmareofyourdrems ( starter call. )
smoothing down blue skirts, she keeps her gaze low. it's strange how giddily she waited for this day, but the moment that it's here now, she can't help her worry. there isn't anything to worry about yet johanna's mind posses the not-so-secret talent for finding something to fret over in every occasion. their paperwork is in order. the marriage certificate signed by the appropriate parties. there's no huge guest list to worry about. only toby and mrs. lovett and obviously the bride and groom ( who had invited most of the people in attendance ). what if they don't believe that she's twenty-one? the court system did, but what if they caught onto it and made her seek her parent or guardian's signature? she is eighteen and in her opinion that makes her old enough. besides, johanna supposes she has her parent right here if need be.
with a sigh, she looks up at him. ❝ if you don't fell well enough, there's no pressure at all to be here. you can go home if you'd like. you're still healing, i wouldn't blame you. not at all. if this is too much . . . ❞ fingers twist the fabric of her dress in her hands. ( blue, the color of bluebirds spreading their wings in flight. a free color. not the virginal white increasingly becoming more popular. not after the judge. ) ❝ but obviously you've been invited and there's a reason. i invited you, not anthony -- but even if he did, you're still welcome. i don't want you to feel overwhelmed or unwell or unable to. it's perfectly alright. either way. ❞
eyes dart to the two doors separating them from the chapel. on the other side anthony will be dressed in his best, beaming as she walks down the aisle. her hand on her father's arm. father's. ❝ do you feel . . . ready? ❞
#oh my goodness i have MISSED you!!!#i was rereading their old thread and was reminded that he promised to walk her down the aisle and i just. i just.#they can be so dysfunctional#but they have their moments#*❈ ‣ have you decided it’s safer in cages‚ singing when you’re told? — ( interaction. )#*❈ ‣ isn’t that her dainty footstep on the stair? yes‚ isn’t that her shadow on the wall? — ( v: alternate. )#thenightmareofyourdrems

I do find it funny how much I can overthink leaving a comment on somebody else’s fic when, as a writer, I get excited about even seeing the hit counter go up on some of my fics.
#I hope it's clear that this isn't me trying to be like 'oh boo hoo woe is me I get so few comments that I have to focus on my hits'#this is me pointing out the hypocrisy of my brain overthinking other people's reactions to my comments#when I myself am like an untrained puppy in the toy aisle of a pet store about reader interactions 100% of the time#like. PEOPLE ARE READING THE THING I WROTE! yessssss! I hope they're enjoying it!#being a writer in fandom got SO rewarding when I let myself get SO excited about the simplest things#(once you've written for a crossover rareship you yourself literally invented and you've never seen any other content about#you really learn to appreciate and cherish a readership)

i'm curious on what aisling and valerie's relationship is like :3 obviously marlow is her brother, and you've mentioned that felicity was supposed to be a mother for her and that sakura has a soft spot for her but what was aisling's role supposed to be (especially curious now that you've reworked her to be marlow's childhood friend)
OWO that is something im trying to figure out as well when it comes to a specific label, but i figured all 3 members of felicity’s team would have raised valerie to some extent! in a “it takes a village” way yknow? so aisling specifically i always imagined she’d be like a fun aunt figure if not also a parental figure! since aisling is the lazy type though she probably would have just done the fun aspects of raising a kid tho LOL. she loved the kiddo though, she grew up surrounded by other kids so she is pretty in tune with what they like
in the present though because she’s very bitter towards marlow, she distanced herself from valerie in general. she doesnt dislike her or anything but she prefers to just not acknowledge her existence because she doesnt want to acknowledge marlow’s existence. im not completely set on this but she may be the one character that just doesnt want anything to do with marlow at all anymore and thatd extend to valerie (something that val wouldnt pick up on because marlow kept her from them anyways) as opposed to felicity who does want to rekindle things despite everything and sakura who isnt connected to the drama and sorta relates to her and so does like her.
#tbh i still gotta figure out her new relationships besides her family and marlow#i imagine though if she interacts with val shes like. putting that aside but still visually uncomfortable#aisling is the type of person to let her grudges get in the way of her relationships sadly#mail#daruks#TY HON!!!!
