hot mess with random fandoms

Retired Price whose wife is ecstatic to be spending more time with him only to have him moping around grieving the loss of his beloved job.

Retired Price who still hasn’t quite gotten the hang of retirement and can not stand to be still for a second

“What are you doing?”

“Napping?”

“But why? We could be out. Lets go on a hike”

Retired Price who, though old, cannot stop moving and always has to be active even if it causes some strain on his back

“John please can we go home?”

“Just a mile more okay love ?”

Retired Price who finally calms down… after he threw out his back. The wife has never seen John so calm before but there he was in the backyard sitting on a lawn chair listening to his audio book clipping away at his bonsai.

Retired price who is now obsessed with keeping his lawn extra tidy. He bought a new (and expensive) lawn mover, waters it every morning, makes sure none of it is dead. Anything to keep his lawn in tip top shape

Retired Price who keeps finding things wrong with the house and throws himself into renovation mode fixing every little problem he finds

Retired Price who can finally get back into his hobbies and finally get back working on his dads old 64 Chevy Impala

Retired Price who’s cut down the texts to his boys from every day to every other day which is progress.

Retired Price who is having much more fun spending time with the missus now that he knows how to relax. They have lots of fun gardening, cooking, baking, and just being in each other’s company.

Retired Price who still goes on hikes but doesnt make it John prices mission to get from point A to point B. His only mission is to enjoy his hike with his lovely wife.

Retired Price who finally finished the car and takes the missus to the beach for a well earned picnic with no hike

Retired Price whose house and lawn has never looked better. Who has a cool new (old) car. Who’s picked up a few new hobbies and skills and who’s been the happiest he’s been for a while

"too many legs inside your organs, scratching, skittering, trying to escape....

i don't even really think i saw the scaldra regiment that had me cornered...

the smell of charred meat is...

then somebody FUGGIN PUNCHED ME IN THE FUGGIN FACE

but i'm filled with crawling biting skittering insects and i can't stop them and i can't stop the killing and i CAN'T STOP...

now, i know it was Arthur... but i didn't even see him, then...

it was all just a blu...

i remember his voice though "focus on me""hit me" "burn me" "i can take it"....

Arthur holding me tight like i was coming down from some lsd trip...

all my fault"

"no, it's not your fault!"

Time for more sketches. I simply VITALLY NEEDED to draw this, otherwise I would definitely go crazy. T_T

(Ik outta all the things from the Dev stream we choose to spend our time talking naming conventions 😭)

While I did agree with that, I proposes different idea to the naming convention.

Hex doesn’t mean 6, instead it means hexadecimal. Which is a way of representing numbers using a base of 16, or "hex", specifically while coding. It would make sense with the whole tech boom happening in the 90’s and in a literal sense in Warframe lol.

So if my head canon if correct we could be getting 16 HEX members, aka 16 protoframes.

Rambling below 👇 👇

While I don’t think it would be practical to have them all be apart of the syndicate. Maybe their operations could grow and their could be different teams of protoframes that go out do special missions or stuff. Like have the HEX be more like a small “organization” than a team of 6. You could like have different protoframes outside the main 6 occasionally come into the mall with goodies for us to buy or something. Idk I have trying to think of a less cluttered way they could introduce new protoframes without making the mall feel overwhelming.

DE said there isn’t going to be a quest for this new batch so I hope they aren’t just tossed in. But knowing DE I am sure they will make it work. I HAVE A LONG theory about Temple and I might just write it all down and post about it.

"Be safe"

It's geared to not include very baby witch information/inquiries. For me, that content no longer serves me. Its also a safe space for information on magical concepts that you may not want to discuss with children/minors.

but once the moment passes, i imagine viago clears his throat, gently pushes rook toward lucanis, and says, “take rook home, dellamorte”

and lucanis, who has barely been holding himself and spite back because they both so desperately need rook to be in their arms, to feel for themselves that rook is alive and whole, jumps forward to hold them and start to steer them away from the crowd

is the same solas who allowed himself to be bullied non stop by inquisition companions who had no idea what he was. imagine being revered for millennia and then suddenly sera is blowing raspberries anytime he speaks, varric’s calling him “chuckles” after his feared mantle of the dread wolf, being subjected to inappropriate spirit sex questions and the skyhold joke that he doesnt like tea, which he deliberately plays into purely for the sake of everyone’s amusement. he was completely content to be the butt of the joke.

1. Isseya is already established as a morally gray character, willing to do basically anything if it meant ending the Fourth Blight, even when it went against her own personal morals.

2. Her Calling advanced quickly because of the blight, and it's theorized in Last Flight that all her use of Blood Magic probably didn't help, either.

3. She has been alive for CENTURIES after she should have died on her Calling. She is more Darkspawn than elf, more akin to The Architect or Corypheus than she is Davrin, by the time we meet her in game.

4. And this is the doozy, in the novel The Calling, we see what happens when Wardens don't die on their Calling. We know what happens when they let their taint change them. We saw what happened when the Architect advanced their Calling so that they might keep their minds... They didn't. After only months, Bregan starts to lose it. The blight is anger. It's rage. It is a literal plague of HATE. And it twists not just his body, but his mind too.

So, imagine Isseya, already angry. Already wracked with guilt, grief, and righteous anger when she goes on her Calling. And then she doesn't die, but Revas, her griffon, does. And so Isseya is all alone, festering in her own negative emotions for centuries, all while the blight in her veins slowly takes over and whispers nothing but hate directly into her brain. For over 400 YEARS.

And it all comes down to the Wardens. She blames them for what she became, for the fate of the griffons (understandably so), and her madness spirals into making an alternate Weisshaupt, recruiting her own order of Blighted Wardens.

(side note: was she working with The Architect? Because this is some Architect shit.)

And then Ghilan'nain shows up with an offer to help "save" the griffons. And Isseya is blighted, driven mad with centuries of unmitigated hate. So she takes Ghilan'nain's offer, never once seeing how she's being used all over again. Because the blight has blinded her with hate for the Wardens.

Isseya's character hasn't been botched. They didn't do her dirty. Her story is SAD. Heartbreaking even. It's a tragedy and a warning, of what that much hate can do to a person.

Did I wish better for her? Absolutely. I loved Isseya in Last Flight, and my heart broke for her then. But unraveling the Gloom Howler that first time? Realizing who she was and WHY this was happening? It was an amazing experience. (The way I said, "oh, Isseya"??? Tear my heart to shreds, Bioware.)

But, just because Isseya's fate is tragic, doesn't mean she was written poorly. From what we know about her, the blight, and the Calling, her character is actually very consistent and believable.

Lucanis: “That’s one way to put it, but I'm doing more than "poaching" her” (smirks)

Viago: “And you thought I wouldn’t notice?”

Rook: “Well… it’s not exactly like that—”

Viago: “Oh, it’s exactly like that. What’s next? Matching daggers? A wedding contract?”

Manfred has a stick he likes to point around - Emmrich uses a staff

Manfred walked into a rose bush - Emmrich loves flowers

Manfred likes to collect shiny things, including gilded things - Emmrich wears a lot of gold

just realised that Solas’ spirit form has a lot of similarities with Mythal’s vallaslin

(which also looks a lot like lyrium veins, like @planesofduality mentions in this post)
