What do you fear my lady?
A cage.
I just finished watching "Shadow and Bone" - which was way more entertaining and enjoyable than I expected!
Not that I couldn't have survived on the eyecandy alone, but I actually liked a lot of the characters and plot lines.
The only thing that impacts my immersion is being a native speaker of Russian. I understand that the setting is only loosely based on tsarist Russia, and I think authors should have the freedom to borrow and adjust as they please. But it does sound weird to me when female characters have male last names and vice versa. And especially the word "Grisha" itself is jarring, considering it's a popular diminutive of a male first name. Kinda like Johnny. Imagine watching a TV show where characters say things like:
- "You are not alone. You are a Johnny now." 😅
or
- "Why do you hate all Johnny so much?"
Anyway, looking forward to season 2!

It happens way too often
You guys only have days?
<crawls into the light, squinting>
So, apparently I have been in hiding since before Christmas?! Is the world still here? Is everyone watching Shadow & Bone and/or gearing up for the Mass Effect remaster?
How are you feeling? Sending pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows to everyone who might need them.

How to Disable Tumblr’s Algorithm
Hey friends! Did you know that Tumblr quietly starting curating your dash instead of showing you posts chronologically? Me neither! Fortunately, you can fix this. There’s a setting called “Best Stuff First” which is enabled by default, but which you can disable it by following these steps.
Step 1: Go to your account (little person icon), then choose “settings” from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: On the right, choose “Dashboard”
Step 3: Scroll to the bottom where it says “preferences” and toggle off “Best Stuff First”
Easy peasy! Now your dashboard will show you posts chronologically again. Reblog to save a dash from the content curation robots! xoxo

good mods for beginner dragon age players
im sorry bee im trash
- extra dog slot - take ur small pup pal anywhere!
- equal love - removes gender restrictions on romances. makes morrigan & alistair bi, and opens opportunities to kiss cute npcs
- polygamy - romance everyone at once without them getting jealous and loosing approval (also you get an achievement for romancing them all, so you can get that in one play through!)
- more hairstyles - adds more hairstyles to the character creator not the da:o toolset
- lock bash - allows all classes to open locked chests, not just rogues
- no helmet hack - means you can wear a helmet and get the added armour bonus, but you dont have to see it!
- gift guide - for if you have the gift dlc i think
- skip the fade - skips the long ass fade sequence in the tower quest. ideal for second play throughs
- ring of invincibility - cheat mod. does exactly what it says on the tin
- pineappletree’s vibrant colours - adds more eye colours and hair colours to the character creator
- skip fight - another cheat mod. imemdiately kills all enemies you are fighting. this ones good if you just want to play the story, not all the combat. i love this one
- expanded inventory - ups your inventory capacity from 70 to 125 (the games max)
- misha the hoarder - this one adds storage to your camp! along with a fully voiced npc its truly wonderful (honestly why this game didnt have storage as a defauly is completely bamsboozling for me)
- steal cooldown reduced - for when you’re playing as a rogue and want to pickpocket everyone but you’re tired of having to wait ten seconds between tries
- no restrictions - removes all restrictions so now anyone can wear any armour
- advanced quickbar - makes it so you have multiple quickbars you can flip through, so you can access all your attacks and items quicker
- grey wardens of ferelden - gives all the warden characters the warden armours from dragon age 2! best if you start from the beginning with this one, i dont know how easy it is to pick up the armours later in the game. this mod is absolutely essential imo though
- extended dog talents - gives your mabari more things to do during fights!
- attribute talent skill book add - every time you load a save, you get books of power (if you use them you get extra attributes ect as you do on leveling up). these can also be sold for like 5 sovereigns each if you dont want to spend them
okay im done now. honestly i could do more of these for da2 and dai if thats something people might want?
I am a fairly introverted person who has had her share of bad forum and tumblr experiences, so I am usually hesitant to show up here fully, to share, reblog, or even comment.
But I just want you to know that if you are reading this, you have no idea how much you helped me this year - with your creativity, your optimism, your sense of humour, and every other piece of yourself that you give so freely and openly.
I appreciate every piece of writing and art you publish, every advice and question you tag me in, every up and down you share, every funny or cute picture you reblog. Thank you, everyone! Thank you so much.

Do you love the Mass Effect trilogy? Well get excited because the focus will be on it from October 5 to October 11! Use the tag #trilogyweek (as one of the first five tags) and have fun posting fics, gifs, edits, memes, meta posts, thoughts and/or anything that is related to the trilogy.
The rules: Don’t post hateful content (it includes sexism, homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, etc.), don’t bash pairings or characters, tag nsfw post, give all the warnings you can regarding specific content (character death, gore, kinks, …) and of course be nice to people. If you have any questions, just message me :)
After the week is done I’ll make a masterpost of everything that was posted. And that’s it!!! Get ready! :)
*
If you like your week to be a bit more organized, you can follow those daily themes (but no obligation!):
-Monday: All about the characters -Tuesday: All about the relationships (friendships, romances, etc.) - this Relationship Meme might be useful -Wednesday: All about the plot: character arcs, scenes & moments from ME1, ME2, ME3 -Thursday: All about the lore, let’s get nerdy! -Friday: The quotes. Because they can make us laugh and/or cry -Saturday: Alternate Universe, baby!!!! What could have happened differently? -Sunday: Last day to post, go wild :)

Random sci fi bit:
Someone walks into a room announcing, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news…” and their alien friend spits water because the translator said, “I’m unhappily pregnant with new evil.”
Who the fuck programmed their translator, Google?

Probably.
Oh hello, seasonal affective disorder, my old friend. :) How considerate of you to show up just the day before I start my new job. Please, sit down, have some tea with me. （ ^_^）o自自o（^_^ ）

From my private meme collection. Since I also work as an editor I often have to remind myself there aren’t actually any rules in writing. I’m happiest when I let myself follow my obsessions, my interests, my fancies and caprices–even if that means it doesn’t “make sense,” or the results are weird, or I never finish it, or no one ever wants to read it or publish it, or it’s 5 words long, or it’s written on toilet paper, or whatever. Sharing for whoever needs to hear this today <3

One of the things I like about this website is that there are people I’ve been following on here for so long that it has been literal years since we shared a single fandom thing in common and basically never talk and yet when I see their posts, another gifset for a show I don’t watch and have no context for, I still feel a friendly warmth like – hey, glad you’re out there still enjoying random shit. Here’s some content on the niche thing I’m hyper fixating on in return.

This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new
I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.
