#but I feel a bit tired of being ashamed for certain aspects of my canon worldstate and the way I play even if I'm not directly attacked

Unpopular Dragon Age opinion
Just let people play how they want to play.
I said this in the tags of a reblog but I thought I'd also make a post.
Some people really do seem to claim 'moral high ground' over the choices that they make. And you need to understand that if the devs didn't want us to make certain choices they wouldn't have presented the opportunity for them.
I side with mages, I'm trying to make Leliana Divine, I try to do good things even with my 'asshole characters', but I also do bad things even with my 'nice and good' characters, I like characters and ships other people don't like or don't think work, I disagree with some of the popular opinions. But I'm scared to talk about them in some spaces because of potential backlash if I do voice them.
The way we play video games do not always reflect the kind of people we are in real life. Just because someone may decide their canon involves having circles reinstated does not automatically make them supporters oppression. The only exception would be any form of pro-shipping, pro-shippers can take their ships and shove it.
The point of playing Dragon Age is to have fun and immerse yourself into your own story, why can't we also let pro Templar, anti Chantry explosion and 'Circles are needed' people do the same?

doin this trend for most of the main pcp deities i work with so heres my patron, The Carver
General Questions:
1. What is the name of the entity and what is their canon universe? 
The Carver, The King of The Infernous, Emperor Hash'bor'kanibal
The Arkn Mythos 
2. What drew you to this entity? What drew you to their world?
I was introduced to the Arknverse through my partner and I felt a strong pull to him. 
The series is one of my favourites, and, although it took me a while, I eventually csme to him and asked if I could worship him. 
3. Did you choose them or did they tap you? How?
A bit of both, as I felt a pull to worship him, and I wanted to myself either way. 
4. How do you typically communicate? 
I communicate with him through his designated oracle deck, or through what he likes to call "vibes". 
He radiates a very distinct energy for me, so I can feel his emotions and opinions on my choices. 
5. What role does this entity play in their universe?
Ooh, he plays the role of a chaotic grim reaper, in my opinion. 
He has no true side, he works for himself and his own amusement. 
6. What kind of relationship do you have with this entity?
He is my patron deity, and he has lovingly dubbed me his son.
7. What aspects does this entity reside over?
He is the Dekn Lord of Pain, Torment, Suffering, Torture, Cheese, and sometimes Lettuce, The King of the Infernous, the Arkn Lord of Power and Truths, and The Joy of Fear
8. What kinds of offerings do you/would you give this entity?
He's not picky, but he likes cheese, tobacco, booze (specifically whiskey or vodka), spicy foods, weed, knives, and bones.
Non physical offerings include smoking or drinking in his honor, inflicting pain, and drawing blood.
9. What kinds of animals, stones, elements, plants, etc do you associate with this entity? Why?
His symbols are knives, sickles, devil motifs, skulls, cigarettes, blood, crowns, his devil mask, cleavers, guns, and the Dekn Symbol. 
His sacred animals are predators, and his element is fire. 
He likes any darkly colored stones, especially red calcite and bloodstone.
10. Are there any songs, books, or quotes you associate with this entity? Why?
He enjoys Ghost and a lot of more folksy type of songs like "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" and "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company".
11. How and when did you first encounter them as an entity? 
I don't exactly remember, but I'd have to say the first time I properly felt his presence in my room was when I was sick, and he was floating above my bed where I was whining to my boyfriend.
He was teasing me about not being able to handle sickness, but he seemed genuinely concerned about me.
12. How are they particularly involved in your life? Do they teach you anything specific? If so, what?
He's decided he's my father, so he's pretty involved, he hangs around me a lot. 
Not really anything specific, more just tellinge when I fuck up or little bits of life advice. 
13. Do they have any identifying symbols in canon or otherwise?
His sickle, his crown, and his mask are the three I can think of. 
14. Do they have alternate versions, verses, or canons? Do you communicate with all or some of them?
I'm sure there are, but I don't speak to them. 
Compare & Contrast:
15. Choose an aleady-existing deity from our world that has similar traits to this entity. How are they similar, and how are they different?
My immediate comparsion is Ares. 
They're both associated with violence, and have shown affection for certain mortals that are good at just that. 
The difference is that Carver is much more interested in the one on one intimacy of inflicting pain on one with your own hands, while Ares is a war god, which id the broader type of violence. 
16. Choose 6 tropes this entity may or does fall under. Explain if you agree or disagree, and why. 
Alas, Poor Villain - Absolutely. He's put through some shit that a regular viewer of the series has trouble watching. I know he's considered a villain, yet every time he gets hurt it hurts me. 
The Chessmaster - He succeeded in an eons long plan to trick a literal god, and he always seems to have every piece in his corner in the games he plays. 
Fallen Angel - Within certain Arkn stories, he is considered a once-great Arkn who was corrupted and defected to the Dekn side. 
Laughably Evil - He's absolutely fucking hilarious. 
Body Horror - I've only seen his true form a few times but holy FUCK is it terrifying. 
Heroic Sacrifice - I'm going to say it now, him letting his body be destroyed to create the new universe wasn't done in heroics. 
17. What academic studies or professions do you associate with this entity, and would you study any of them yourself? Why or why not?
Anything with death, history, or psychology.
I would, but he's a been pushing me to persue something I would genuinely enjoy, lile tattooing or computer programming. 
18. What is something surprising you have learned about this entity when working with them? Why was it surprising?
He's honestly so nice if you're nice to him, which was a little surprising because he's very much not a nice guy.
He's extremely protective of his worshippers/children: I had an issue with Ellpagg (an arkn entity) coming after me for a good while, and Ellpagg finally backed off after Carver beat him into the ground and said he'd chuck him in the Infernous again if he ever tried to lay a finger on me. 
(I was in the middle of a math class while watching that happen lmao) 
19. Is there a common misconception about this entity? What parts are true, and what parts are wrong?
That he's evil and only ever seeks to harm people. 
Evil? Yeah basically I can't argue that away he's done some pretty henious shit. 
But if you respect him and his power he won't bother you.
If you taunt him or disrespect him it will not end well for you.
Especially if you try to hurt him. 
Gods help you if you're one of the people stupid enough to try and hex or curse him.
20. Has some aspect of your life, energy, emotion, or other changed since meeting the entity? What would it be like if you hadn’t?
I've gotten better at standing up to people and defending my loved ones (at the downside of my anger issues getting worse). 
I've accepted my anger and rage much better now, and my energy has become more offensive because of his influence. 
People tend to think that his protection his a negative or bad thing when they first sense something touched by him. 
Self & Shadow
21. What are things this deity is capable of helping you with, personally? How?
He helps accept anger, rage, and violent urges as a natural thing not to be ashamed of. 
He'll teach you how to stand up for yourself properly, and when to not take any shit from stupid people.
22. Has this entity ever refused something to you? If so, what and why?
I mean, he probably has but fuck me if I remember what. 
23. What do you want to learn from this entity? Why?
Everything he has to teach me. 
He doesn't exactly sit me down like it's a fucking school lesson, its a more in the moment teaching style. 
24. Is there an end-goal with this entity, or do you plan on continuing a relationship with them?
He's my patron, he's stuck with me until I die. 
25. Have you ever disagreed with this entity? Why or why not?
Oh, all the time. 
Usually he's right, and if I don't agree with him he just let's me do it my way and then when i fuck it up he smacks the back of my head and says "see, dumbass, i told you so."
26. What does working with this entity reveal about you?
That I'm a raging bitch and if you fuck with me or my loved ones I'm not afraid to fuck up your whole life? 
27. What do you think you should cultivate about yourself to better work with this entity? Why?
Should probably stop being so stubborn but that's not gonna happen, he likes the banter. 
Also need to work on my godphone smh. 
28. Do you have any fears or anxieties about working with this entity? Why?
Nope. Not a single one. I'm not afraid of him and he's made it clear I have no reason to feae anything that could come after me because of him. 
29. What about this entity’s canon has impacted you the most? Why?
Just, the philosophy of it all. 
30. What UPG/Headcanon do you have about this entity? Why?
This man likes FNAF songs. 
I am dead fucking serious. 
31. Choose 3 major differences between their world and this one. Do these differences affect how you interact? 
Too tired to do this fully but no, it doesnt affect how we interact. 
He understands me and why I do the shit I do and I understand him and why he does the shit he does.
