For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:
  • Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
  • Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
  • Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
  • Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
  • Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
  • Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
  • Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
  • Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
  • Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

Friendly reminder that:

  • Qunari are empowering Saarebas with lyrium so that they can become stronger, open temporary Rifts, slow time down, and use mysterious spells, all through unknown means.
  • Tevinter is terribly weakened, corrupted, and will not last in the war against the Qunari.
  • Fen’Harel, now incredibly powerful, is planning to eliminate the corrupted parts of the Qun (good thing), but also to tear down the Veil (not that good, depending on the consequences). He will probably help the Tevinter slaves in rebelling against their masters too.
  • Titans are awakening. They are enormous beings living deep underground, whose blood has been consumed for millennia by mages and Templars alike, shaping the world as it is today. They also seem able to influence events above ground and they are very angry with the world or at least with the elves. They will probably re-establish their contact/link with the dwarves.
  • Something is happening in Weisshaupt, the Wardens have gone silent, and a new Blight is most likely coming.
  • The Evanuris are still locked away, but it’s obvious they will get free soon. They are a bunch of homicidal assholes who will not think twice about conquering Thedas again. They might be also tainted by the Blight, if the theories “Evanuris locked away with the Blight in the Black City” are true.
  • If Kieran was born, Flemeth/Mythal took the Old God’s soul from him, planning to do something with it. We still don’t know what it is, but it’s unlikely she will stay “dead”. She still has to have her revenge, her “reckoning which will shake the very heavens”.
  • Either Morrigan or the Inquisitor drank from the Well of Sorrows and the consequences of that act are still unclear, but whatever they are, they are going to suck or at least be mildly disturbing.
  • Mysterious Dalish elves live in the Tirashan. They are violent, cruel, and worship the Forgotten Ones.
  • Strange people from the Volca Sea are returning after a long absence, claiming a terrible calamity struck their lands.
  • We still don’t know what lies beyond the Amaranthine Ocean, but whatever it is, it makes people go insane and suicidal.

Basically Thedas right now:

The Idol shown in the trailer has the same likeness as the one found in DA:2. However, it is not the same idol. That idol was made into Meredith’s sword, which is now infused with Meredith herself. Meredith, as we saw her in DA:I, is currently in The Black Emporium.

So, we have multiple copies of the same Idol. Found in one of the oldest Deep Roads, it stands to reason that this is the image of Mythal. The Elven Pantheon had gone into the Deep Roads before. It’s been theorized that Solas was Mythal’s servant, until he ‘burned her off his face’, so the figure clinging to her could be Solas.

Mythal, Andraste and Flemeth all have the same story. They attempt to do good, and are betrayed by someone close to them - usually a lover. Elgar’nan. Maferath. Conobar. It could be that Mythal, Andraste, and Flemeth are one and the same - simply Mythal hopping to new bodies. (Such as Flemeth does with her daughters.) I think that Solas was there to witness two of these betrayals: Mythal as her servant, and Andraste as Shartan. 

The figure to the left of the Idol shown in the teaser could be Elgar’nan: showing the betrayal of Mythal in the center, and the Dread Wolf’s coming vengeance on the right. Around the Idol are Seven Moons: 5 dark and 2 still lit. 5 dark for the five slain Archdemons, and 2 lit for the 2 remaining. 

It’s likely Dragon Age 4 will see a double event in terms of a Blight, with both Razikale and Lusacan making an appearance. I’ve spoken of this before, but I believe that the Old Gods and the Elven Pantheon were closer than originally believed. I think they worked together to create the Blight and therefore, Red Lyrium, as shown on the Idol. 

If the figure is of Elgar’nan, we know he is a mage and I theorize, likely has the same markings that Fenris does. Except these were done correctly. 

It’s to this that I suggest that Dragon Age 4 will be a part One of sorts. We will be facing Solas, who will unleash the Elven Pantheon and trigger the double event Blight. Part Two will be dealing with what he’s done.
