You can’t deserve a person’s love. You’ll drive yourself crazy thinking like that. They either love you, or they don’t. That doesn’t mean you weren’t good enough for them to love you, because love isn’t something you earn by being good enough. It isn’t something that can be quantified or doled out. Don’t blame yourself for not being loved how you need to, just teach yourself how to look for love where love lives.

This isn’t just about romantic love, or even skewed towards romantic love, although it does apply there too. One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to accept is that my mother simply wasn’t someone who was capable of loving me, and there is no version of me that I could have ever been that would have earned that love. But with acceptance came healing. I was able to love myself more instead of resenting myself for not being more than any one person could be.

Are you listening? Even love for yourself isn’t earned. It is a kindness you give yourself.

Wish I was a late bronze age girl

I would have my homeland invaded by the sea peoples. I would be lain siege to by the sea peoples. My cities would be sacked by the sea peoples. I would make bronze tools and pottery. My shores would be invaded by the mysterious sea peoples. I would be mustering my armies to fend off the sea peoples.

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

Hardening Alistair because I feel that what he needs in his character arc is to be more resolute and stand up for what he wants and doesn't. That if he becomes king or not, if he kills the archdemon or not, it will be because he chooses to and not because he's forced to.

Softening Leliana because I feel that what she needs in her character arc is to reassure her that she is capable of being her own person and not just what Marjolaine taught her she was, that she is capable of choosing kindness and forgiveness.

Objectively speaking, I understand and respect the fact that Alistair is a straight man. His attachment to the (male) Warden and the fact that he can get jealous of Morrigan don't show that he has a crush as much as him feeling uncertain, lost, unable to make his own decisions, and sort of childish (and rightfully so, as he's actually like 20? Ma'am that's a child). Fair or not, Alistair direly wants and needs the Warden as an older sibling-like figure he can attach to and drop all his decisions into, and a romance with Morrigan, who is his polar opposite in the moral compass, would feel like a threat by having his point of support drifting away from him.

That said, Alistair's whole character in DAO revolves around him figuring out and accepting who he is, who he wants to be, and how he wants to be that (which, by the way, makes it incredibly ironic that it's all ultimately in the player's hand). He can be hardened and be more resolute about his own agency in his own life; he can refuse to have the circumstances change him into a rougher version of himself; he can choose to be king; he can say 'I know I'm not a leader even it the world keeps telling me I have to be'. Having him struggling with and accepting same-sex attraction would add a layer to his relationship with his identity.

Plus, I don't think it's coincidental that Alistair and Morrigan, the two most plot-heavy romances in DAO, are the ones who are straight-locked. If either of them were companions in DAII or DAI, when the series is more comfortable with giving space to queer characters, it's much more likely one or both of them would be bi.

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "this is a valuable exploration of intimacy and vulnerability that we’re conditioned to recognize only in romantic relationships but that can exist platonically as well" way
