so i totally forgot to freak out about the fact that rhys is coming to dan's live show in may!! i mean i very much did freak out, but not here on my blog. i guess i was waiting for someone to post the instagram announcement, which, y'know, i could have done myself as soon as i realised it was slipping through the cracks, but unfortunately i'm a lazy bitch 🙈
anyway!! i'm soooooo excited about this!!! it was really only a matter of time before rhys would be a guest on We Can Be Weirdos, wasn't it. And it's soooo cool that dan is making it special by having him at his first(?) live recording.
i can't go, unfortunately (and now it's sold out anyway), but i'm hoping to catch some snippets in the form of eye witness accounts, and i can't WAIT to listen to the edit when it comes out.

listen. okay. so.. correct me if im wrong, but i feel like Jewish people don't ask a lot from the rest of us: don't celebrate their holidays unless invited, don't hurt or kill them, and be respectful. those are the simplified Big Things right?? that's truly like... the bare minimum of what literally any group of people could ask for. so i feel like.. it should be really fucking easy to do (or not do) those things.
i mean you'd have to go out of your way to do two of them which means you're putting effort into being an asshole / piece of shit. it's not like you're out and about and just happen to stumble upon a menorah and light it accidentally. i'm like 99.9% sure that's not happening. and as for killing... in my professional opinion, speaking as someone who has never killed someone, it is incredibly easy to not commit murder. like idk man there isn't much that's easier than that.
im not good at words, or putting my thoughts into words, but im frustrated for my friends who have to deal with the lack of basic human decency largely because people who aren't Jewish decided they're superior, for literally no reason, and feel entitled to everything, everyone, everywhere, etc.
jewish holidays are not yours to celebrate
jewish lives are not yours to take
jewish people do not deserve your bullshit
losing track of my thoughts and my fucking chicken nuggets are getting cold so im gonna shut up now but for fucks sake

As much fun as I'm having doing my alternative run of DA2, one thing I really miss about my mage Hawke is his friendship with Merrill.
Those two are best friends and he's 100% supportive in her goals toward the eluvian. Ed has the humorous/charming personality, too, which bounces off super well with Merrill. He doesn't think any less of her for her usage of blood magic; if anything he's impressed by her level of strength and willpower. He's so ready to defend her from the other companions and the clan, and he's absolutely out here attempting to matchmake her and Carver....at least he is in my heart because the game won't let me, it's fine, I'm not bitter about it or anything-
But then my warrior Hawke? She has the diplomatic personality with quite a bit of direct/aggressive thrown in there and she ends up having the same attitude as that one party banter Aveline and Merrill have: "Merrill, you're clearly talented and meant for great things, but you're stupid," and that's so difficult for me to lean into. I'm trying to play Aris differently so she ends up being so condescending to Merrill, like she's trying to gently tell her to give up on the eluvian but it doesn't come off well.
Also if Carver was around, Aris would be the opposite of Ed, she'd look at the suggestion of her brother and Merrill getting together and be like, "No :) I don't think so :) I like Merrill, she's my friend :) but she's not right for Carver."
But I guess it makes sense; if you told him that Bethany would giggle and kick her feet and twirl her hair around Sebastian, Ed would've thrown him in the ocean as a warning. Meanwhile, Aris is like, "A handsome prince that could take my sister away from all of this? Wonderful, we just need to work on his incorrect views on mages, but that shouldn't be a problem :)"
Anyway I miss playing Hawke as the #1 Merrill stan.

hey remember when i left those tags on that post?
i still don’t want to talk about what the work of fiction is but i legit just got reminded today that while it’s been like over 15 years that i did want to check this thing, the character that “caught my interest like 7 years ago” actually caught my interest 12 years ago. As in, there was a specific moment in time when i wanted to get into it because i learnt about the character in question.
i’ve been in hysterics for the past ten minutes because i’m realizing it’s been over a decade that once in a while i had humored starting this thing, and that while it definitely started out of another place, it’s been 12 years that steadily it was because this character was standing out to me enough that i wanted to get into it, but then forgot all about it, and now i’m out there actually getting into it after a *dream that came out of nowhere about this chara popping up while i haven’t thought of them in years* and i’m just.
bestfriendo is making fun of me because “this is the most slowburn in all of history of fav characters” and i’m screaming into my hands, imagine considering getting into something for OVER A DECADE while constantly one character keeps standing out for you and eventually you just get a dream out of nowhere of this chara like a sudden “hey. I’ve been sending you messages about it for the past decade why the fuck are you leaving me on read” and now you’re not only forced to pay attention but also forced to realize YOU COULD HAVE STARTED ALL OF THAT OVER TEN YEARS AGO i’m feeling so unwell.
