Uh, it isn't like the other fantasy ceased to get. Yes, I do think there is a disproportionate amount of grimdark. But the other stuff is still on the shelves. It isn't like kids only ever read things the year they are published.

This is not an insult, but you sound like people on booktok who say booktokkers only recommend the same five books and there's no diversity.

It's there if you look for it (and no, don't ask me, I'm not really a fantasy/SF-fantasy reader so I can't give any recommendations), I've seen a lot of different genres come up on my fyp and I've only had tiktok for like, six months.

[(Anonymous)]

I get you, but also holding up the reams of published fanfic (Trek and Who let alone Forgotten Realms) as better, I'mma have to question your tastes, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

"Sparkly vampires"? Is Twilight really still that much of a figure on the YA scene? Or are there new sparkly vampires that I missed?

[(Anonymous)]

I was around for that "golden age" and while there certainly was a lot of good and/or fun fantasy around, 90% of it was still shit. Even more so for Forgotten Realms! You've got your nostalgia goggles on pretty hard, I have to say.

This is why Used Bookstores, ABEbooks and libraries are godsends.

Because yes, the variety is a lot less on mainstream book store shelves, as the section for SF/F has shrunk considerably over the years.

The books we want still exist, it's just not as easy to walk into a new bookstore and randomly find them on the shelf anymore.

Is it better if you alway play as a mage (usually an elf except for Hawke) and you always romance the elf with a Tragic Past?

That's what I do. Then again, I do believe that it's just as cliché as the human noble who romances another human albeit in a different way. I mean, I wouldn't do it because it's boring to me (except for Anders. He's a lot of things but boring is not one of them), but I'm not judging, it's just a different kind of fantasy. My fantasy is to fight against oppression (mage rights FTW) but it's not more legit that somebody who wants to be a Mary Sue.

Except for Cullen. I judge you if you played DA2 and you still romanced Cullen. Especially if you're a mage. Fenris's got a pass because he's got trauma and you can rivalmance him (and I just love Gideon Emery's voice). I might have romanced Cullen if it were possible to rivalmance him because I feel like that might have been interesting.

The other thing I tend to judge when it comes to Dragon Age (and Mass Effect too) is if you play as a warrior (or soldier). It's just the most boring thing ever and you can do it if you play literally any other game! Rogues and mages are much more interesting to play imo.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey man, I did all that in DA: Origins, and THEN I was a Mage in DAII who romanced Fenris (what can I say? Hot, elf man with a Dark Past got to me), so I'd say I mixed it up a little. Honestly, for the first one, there weren't a lot of romantic options I liked. I usually DO go for Lovable Rouge types, but I found Zevren more sleazy than allurting. Leilana was fine and I liked her story, but I found her a bit too "out there" for my taste. And I flat out just didn't like Morrigan.

In Inquisition, I was a male rogue who went for Dorian. Iron Bull would have been a very close second. I was also interested in Blackwell (if I had done another run as a female) because I found his character to be compelling precisely because what he did was so, so, SO very wrong. There were a lot of good choices in Inquisition (except Sera and Solas. I didn't like either of them.)

[(Anonymous)]

I’ve romanced almost every character in this series. Except Solas because he’s boring af to me and Anders because he’s straight trash. Some people want chantry golden retrievers and actual princes, some people want anime elves, and we all wane Varric.

I judge BioWare for not letting me romance Cassandra as a lady.

Can someone lay out for me how Maskerade is fatphobic? I don't remember that, but haven't read it in years.

LJ RP was never like that, though? Back in the early days of LJ RP, a lot of the games and communities were private/kept amongst a small group of people/invitation-only and you had to know the right people in order to know they existed or be invited to play in them.

the ads for this game are fucking terrible (the early korean twitter ads made it look like a straight-up porn game) but god the story and writing is so good. i've never been into games but i'm hooked on this one. it's made me cry a few times already.

Daily pet routines

[philstar22]

What routines do your pets insist on having happen every day? Or what are there favorite things to do with you?



My kitty jumps up on my lap for her morning pets every morning. She will insist. As soon as I sit up for the first time, she climbs right up and starts rubbing against me until I start the pets.

She also prefers it when I lay down for a little while before dinner so she can take a little nap on top of my legs.
