if your canon romances are handers and solavellan just know you have inflicted more stress on varric tethras than being viscount of kirkwall ever could

I believe in gentle parenting. Unfortunately many people refuse to parent their child at all under the guise of gentle parenting. Sometimes you’ve got to look your fourth grader in the eye and say “Little dude, that was an asshole move.”

im tired of discourse.  im right.  no you may not know my opinions

If Rook doesn’t find a beautiful but somewhat melancholy painting of a young elven woman in the Lighthouse only to meet the Inquisitor and have the realization that the woman in the portrait is her but it took him a moment because she’s older than the portrait portrays her—older than how Solas *remembers* her—then what is even the POINT

In France [July 7, 2024], a crowd reacts to election results showing a defeat for the hard-right political party that was expected to win big until the French people voted in greater numbers for leftists and centrists instead.

Im gonna shill for Marie Kondo again but this is why I find her books (yes, books, the TV show is fun but ultimately misses a lot of the core ideas) so good.

A lot of home org advice fully misses this aspect. Kondo not only acknowledges it, but leans into it. And ultimately this helps motivste me to keep my space tidy - it's really hard to me to keep on the nebulous goal of self-care, but much easier to get up and put things away if I envision my salt and pepper grinders as like, retail workers who are now standing in an empty shop (my dining table) and just wanna go home (the spice rack where they live).

Normie tidying process: that heater should be put away for summer! I mean, I'm not gonna need it

Me: well it's just chilling and also I can't be arsed.

Me: !! Sabbatical for my heater!! Thank you for your service sir and have a very nice break!
