hail the eyes of the dead

picture me this, right? Qui-gon and his emo little padawan after a missions gone sideways (something probably blew up) (it’s fine) (no they’re not telling the council)

sometimes I think of the culture shock a Southern mage Rook (specifically a Circle mage) would experience next to Lucanis.

a selection of book-exclusive project hail mary scenes that were excluded from the movie to slight me in particular i’m pretty sure

See the thing about Stratt putting all media ever in the Hail Mary is that it isn’t just for lolz or to keep the crew entertained, it always struck me as something deeply sad. Because even if all the crew survived, there was no way they could consume all possible media ever, language barriers alone would present a problem. And even then, they had a job to do and focus on first (which could have theoretically taken decades of work to figure out) so they wouldn’t have much use for The Great Gatsby or a week’s worth of poorly written amateur Guatemalan experimental opera. Let us remember that Stratt is practical and true utilitarian Instead, I think it was another part of the Hail Mary. If the scientists failed, if the Earth died, then what? Everything would have been completely lost. Art, music, film, history. Destroyed. Without a single living soul to remember it by. It would be as if all of humanity had never existed.

thinking about eva stratt crafting a coffin for her friends. the very best coffin, full of every piece of pirated media the entire world has to offer. crafted for maximum comfort, this coffin, with every bit of authority available to her, which is all of it.

i wish there was a way to describe how much i love dragon age veilguard. not only is the storyline so gripping, each companion side story just as captivating, even down to the little side quests in each region as well as the inane conversations the group has with each other, but the characters themselves endear themselves to you slowly, until you realize that suddenly they’re not just side characters that are simply there to help you achieve a quest, they feel as though they’re real, and that rook isn’t just the playable character, but they’re actually you.
