God that was a bad fight

So Mike Tyson didn't kill Jake Paul. Are we not allowed to have one nice thing?

dude literally every discord sever im in is talking abt the fight

deepwoken, garrison, indie projects, minecraft, literally everybody its fucking wild

We all just wanted to see Paul get beaten up but that shit was staged to hell and back.

i bet there were guys in the 1800s who were super fucking Reddit about everything, but no one had the right word yet for why those guys were so annoying. so they just had to wonder

Der lästige Kavalier (The Annoying Gentleman), by Berthold Woltze, 1874.

the feeling when you can't call this bird to your hand that knows the depth of the river yet sings of it on land 😔

Neve and Rook's first kiss lives in my mind rent free

“The companions are too nice!”

Y’all couldn’t handle Vivienne. Y’all can barely handle hardened Neve.

Booo people are being racist and sexist to neve boooo why did I know this was gonna happen

Disappointed but not surprised. Doesn't seem to be as bad as people were about Isabela back in the day (or still apparently saw a bunch of guys complaining about her appearance/aging on reddit)

Neve Gallus🖤

i have a PHD in tired gay people

shes everything to me

close-ups under the cut!

we have fun here in Thedas

Ranking the Veilguard companions Hookup Potential based on the kind of bed situation they have going on in the Lighthouse

(im in early act 2 so have no idea what further romance scenes are actually like, this is just jokin time without any romance spoilers. just pics of how their respective rooms in the lighthouse look and some basic characterization we know about them)

Taash: 8/10

In another game or the real world I would only rate this a 5 because they have no pillows or addition blankets. however they do have a real bedframe AND it's big enough for 2 which means the they are doing better than 90% of the rest of the Veilguard so this score gets boosted. And while there's not many blankets, there are plenty of braziers around the room to keep you warm, and Taash is probably their own miniature furnace to cuddle up to. Crucially, they also have a whole wheel of cheese next to the bed, which means you don't even have to leave the covers to get a snack after.

Lucanis: 1/10

Oh no. I'm not even going to comment on the pantry angle because everyone else asks him about that to begin with, so this is just about the bed. Unfortunately the bed is a cot made of uneven wooden planks with some blankets on top of it, and is only wide enough for 1. This is because Lucanis hates sleeping and doesn't want to do it, so the less tempting his bed is, the better for him. Unfortunately this means sleepover potential is dreadful and you will have to find alternate solutions. He does at least have another blanket to go over him and one that's presumably being used as a pillow, so, he gets a 1 instead of a 0, but I am still planning on gifting him coupons for a back massage for Satinalia.

Bellara: 4/10

This setup is perfectly fine for sleeping. It's the lighthouse standard little bed couch thing, has a mattress/cushion, is elevated off the floor, has a pillow, and she's got her blankets folded below. Perfectly serviceable for getting a good night's rest which we know Bellara is not because she forgot to sleep again. However, it's very much a one person sized setup. You might be able to cuddle for a while but if one of you unconsciously tries to roll over you are going right to the floor. Ouch.

Lace Harding: 5/10

You might be wondring "why is sleeping on the floor rated higher than bellara's" and the answer is because this means you are not rolling off the bed onto the floor. it's not going to be comfy but we are not ranking comfort here we're ranking sleepover potential. Harding has managed to make this space look homey and the canopy gives the illusion of being in a tent or canopy bed to help with that illusion. There are rugs down on the floor plus the blankets and pillows--we know Harding is used to sleeping on the ground due to her career as a scout, and I'm sure she can scrounge up more blankets to make the cushioning big enough for the both of you. Your back WILL hurt in the morning but you'll get to have a fun night first.

Neve: 3/10

Girl I know you can do better than this. Which means you're not trying to on purpose, so, live your life I guess. I will say this cot IS bounds nicer than Lucanis's--you can see its a stretched canvas or hide on a frame rather than wooden planks, so it will have a little more give. However they are not THAT much comfier which I know having slept on this modern equivalent many times. Neve also apparently has 0 pillows or blankets so you're out of luck there, as well as the problem of it only being wide enough for 1 again. This woman has too many other things going on to think about romance so your Rook is going to be the one improvising on that matter I think.

Davrin: 10/10

Now here is a man who has his life together. Double or queen size mattress, rustic bed frame he probably lovingly carved and assembled himself by hand, and not only are there sheets AND blankets AND pillows, they are are full on matching set and this knight in shining armor dutifully makes the bed every morning. There's also enough pillows for two! While the remains of a giant corpse is hanging above you all night, the spacing of the ribs still gives you lots of room above to manouver, so just don't worry about that. As a bonus you'll probably even have a baby griffon come to cuddle in the night which is such a cute thought we're going to ignore how much worse getting stepped on by a griffon foot would be than even the biggest fattest housecat trying to stand on your stomach at 4:30am. My one criticism of the setup here is that due to the bed's positioning if the person on the inside needs to get up in the night they'll have to awkwardly crawl over the person on the outside, however everyone else's bed situation is so dismal I'm not even going to subtract a point for that. Great work Davrin.

Emmrich: ???/10

Where... does this man sleep. Peepaw I KNOW you can't be sitting in that armchair all night you need your beauty rest!!! There are 0 beds or cots or floor blankets in this man's room. HOW am I supposed to break his pelvis if he has nowhere for us to lie down??? We can't risk that old man's spine on the cobblestone.

Wait... unless. No, surly not. I mean--jk. Unless...? 😳😳😳

is daddy necromancer gonna fuck me on the sacrifice slab... 😳😳😳🥵🥵🥵

Bonus:

neve please you and your city girl (affectionately) 😭😭😭😭

Every Companion's Hall of Valor Intro 🦜

Isabela becoming a WWE announcer was not on my Veilguard bingo card 😆

when you’re going to meet your companion but they’re already in your party so they quickly run over to their little spot and strike a pose. ❤️

also not to keep defending this game but so many of the complaints about it are just made by people who simply have not played it and it shows.

"the companions get along too well." lucanis and davrin straight up don't like each other right now. i just had a dialogue where lucanis is calling out the wardens for being secretive despite acting like heroes and it pissed davrin off. lucanis and neve do not trust each other. neve called lucanis out for thinking she has ulterior motives. taash doesn't fuck with emmrich at all. she calls asaan a "good boy" for taking a shit in emmrich's room.

you have to actually invest time with these companions. they don't just info dump you their entire backstory, thoughts and beliefs when you first meet them. their dynamics are more subtle but it's THERE.
