I CAN’T WAIT. I have the dvd for hunchback and would keep it on the opening screen for hours because the music was totally great even looped terribly.

Brew Love

This is 100% @feynites fault. I have no idea how this happened. Credit to @littleblue-eyedbird for coming up with the title. <3

Solas was most definitely a creature of habit. Every morning he woke up at the same time, showered, ate his breakfast, and walked the five blocks to his studio where he spent the rest of the day critiquing and creating the latest fashions. He was slowly but surely bringing back the classic Elvhenan style. Dramatic sweeping lines. Bold, vibrant colors. Soft organic cloth and tasteful metallic accents. He had a strong foothold in both Ferelden and Antiva, and he was finally beginning to make headway in Orlais as well, but it was hard work.

He liked being organized. He liked knowing exactly where and when everything was going to happen over the course of his day. And he liked striding into the same café every morning at exactly half past seven and ordering his customary vanilla bean latte from his somewhat dour friend Abelas.

Except for today.

Today he was greeted by a cheerful smile from a pretty elf girl behind the counter he had never seen before. He could even have been persuaded to concede that she was, in fact, very pretty, if she had not also been wearing what might possibly be the most hideous snot yellow polyester blend disaster of a sweater he had ever had the misfortune of laying his eyes upon. Not even her ‘Baked and Brewed’ apron could conceal the extent of its repugnance.

He cringed. Someone should really take that thing out back and put it out of its misery. It had an assortment of oddly shaped bright pumpkin orange puff balls sewn to it for heaven’s sake, if anything was in desperate need of a mercy killing, it was this sweater.

“Can I help you, Ser?” she asked, her smile fading into a puzzled frown as he continued to glare accusingly at her knitwear. He took note of the tattoos on her face. Dalish. Well, that accounted for…something. He still wasn’t convinced that simply being a backwoods bumpkin could excuse her poor taste in clothing. Even pelts and an overabundance of leather would have been a step up from that sweater.

“Where is Abelas?” he queried, casting a doubtful glance back towards the store room. He did not like change. He had meeting with a prospective client from Val Royeaux at ten, and the last thing he needed was to be dealing with hand-holding some newbie barista through the process of making a decent drink when he should be half way out the door already so he could review the selection they had picked out for the presentation and make any last minute adjustments.

“He started taking night classes, so working early mornings was rough for him,” she shrugged. “I offered to switch shifts.”

“Ah.” He replied, disappointed. He heaved a dejected sigh, mourning the loss of his routine, and dreading the inevitable fate of his coffee.

I’m so sorry it took me so long to answer this, @helen0rz​!! 

In its simplest/purest form, I feel like being together and travelling the world is what happiness would be like for Solavellan. Melitta just takes it further by desiring a family.

uh

yeah

Out of the 82k notes my post got this is by far the best comment holy shit thank u for being u

So i tried it both ways and uh

i mean how do you do the first one without pulling out all your hair?

this made me laugh really hard….

and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed

but seriously I think girls just do the cross arm thing because of HAIR like demonstrated 

So one year, one URL change, and a hair cut later, I decide to try again… FOR SCIENCE! 

Its not science unless you write it down so 

First method:

Well done, i guess…

Second:

I fucked up

Girls… how?

I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING OFF SHIRTS AND SO MUCH DIFFICULTY DOING IT THE OTHER WAY

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.

Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.

Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.

but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.

and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.

It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!

bless you

look what is back on my dash. Jesus.

This came back but with ACTUAL SCIENCE you are the saviour of our generation

I have no words

I seriously just needed this

This deserves the 1 million+ notes it has.

Templars and the Feels

We all love our dorky Templar boys, CLEARLY. Though there’s always one aspect about them that we find most adorable - their inability to express feelings. 

Alistair hides it behind lots of humour, he doesn’t let on what he feels, even if it troubles him. He avoids talking about it and when he does, he’s insecure about his feelings being returned and always seeks validation that the Warden does, in fact, love him. Almost as if he isn’t sure or doesn’t really believe that she could love one like him. When he gives the Warden a gift, he gives her a rose, a beautiful thing that he found in the darkness, which reminds him of her. He’s actually extremely sentimental, but you’d honestly never know unless you pried open his feels with lots of reassurance. 

Cullen buries himself in work. He doesn’t talk feelings unless directly confronted, only then do you realize he’s been harboring them for the Inquisitor since the day he saw her. He stutters when he tries to express intimacy or feelings that were not expressed by the Inquisitor first. He can’t find the words, almost as if he’d never heard them or said them before. Oh, he can find the actions to frak you sideways on his desk, but to say that he wants to remain with you is so hard for him.

What if this was because the Templar recruits, in their formative adolescent years, were actively discouraged from expressing sentiment or intimacy? After all, Templars are required to stay away from their charges, to stay distant and carry out their duty to kill mages on command despite living in close contact with them on a daily basis. This duty cannot be clouded by sentimentality or intimacy. 

So how would Alistair and Cullen both wind up with this form of social anxiety, namely being almost hopelessly unable to express feelings of sentimentality or intimacy?

Could there be some aspect of psychological or emotional abuse made systematic in Templar training to turn them into killers on command?

We’ll never know.

That moment when you're playing Fallout 4 as the female Sole Survivor, and she's having a conversation with a dude voiced by Brandon Keener. I miss my Shepard.
