Normal People Going Through A Gender Identity Crisis: [to A Trusted Person] .....so I Think I Might Be

I feel like if you use a mod to put another character in Taash’s flirt scene and go “i wish we got this” then maybe you might enjoy… romancing Taash? Because I romanced them and very much did got this…

Ahh, I remember the day when I decided that my Rook and all of my future Rooks were going to romance Taash.

I would love love LOVE it if Taash wasn’t constantly misgendered!!! It’s genuinely really fucking insane that MONTHS after Veilguard has been released and people STILL can’t get it right.

Deadass i literally don’t care whether or not anyone here even likes Taash, but the BARE MINIMUM is to use their correct pronouns.

Apologies for sounding so angry about it but like I’m beyond tired of seeing it, especially since Taash is one of my favorite Dragon Age characters.

i'm sorry but the "da fandom is a little racist BUT veilguard holds most of the blame for making davrin so irrelevent in the game" excuse is the weakest shit i've ever heard. no actually i genuinely think this is almost exclusively a fandom issue. like i won't argue that the "davrin vs harding choice is reliant on assan" shit john epler pushed was unbelievably racist and i won't argue that there's merit to the fact that it was tone deaf at Best to have the black man's character arc so reliant on his animal companion but i'm sorry you cannot fucking convince me that the "knight in shining armor with a gentle heart and a cute animal companion that takes you out on picnic dates and carves you little wooden trinkets" character is not almost Perfectly Engineered to be the most popular romance option in any game ever and yes i fully believe the only reason he isn't is entirely hinged on the fact that he's black and no amount of whataboutism towards the devs can convince me otherwise

I don't know how to articulate this well, but I really fucking hate the way a lot of thin writers write fat characters. Like how men write women "breasting boobily" there is something so dehumanizing about how fat characters are often written. "He waddled", "he lumbered", the writer of the book I'm reading always mentions this characters "fleshy hand" when he does something with his hand. Like, we already know that he's fat. There is no need to describe everything he does as "doing it fatly".

I don’t understand Taash hate

I don’t know if I’ve said this before but I occasionally see people say “oh Taash is rude and mean, and they don’t respect others yet expect respect with their pronouns”

The respect part especially gets me because correct me if I’m wrong Taash never demands respect from anyone except maybe the Dragon King and their mom. Even with their pronouns, I don’t even think they do as much as correct anyone even in the scene with Isabela when they get it wrong

They’re not even rude either because like a lot of times when they’re talking about what other companions do, for example Emmirich’s “death mage stuff” and “corpse stuff”, it’s very clear, or very clear to me, they are saying it like that because they don’t know anything about it, the same way I would call what an IT guy does “computer stuff”

(Also used Emmirich specifically as an example because I’ve noticed Emmirich girlies, no offense to Emmirich girlies, get really defensive about anything that’s even sorta negative towards him. Seen it with Taash and Harding’s interactions with him but this is off topic.)

And if Taash is too mean of a companion for you to even consider liking them??? Bro this the game being criticized for everyone being too nice if they’re too mean I think you’d go into cardiac arrest hearing any companion dialogue from the previous 3 games. Not specifically someone like Morrigan or Fenris literally any of them

Honestly the way Taash acted in Veilguard reminded me of how Karlach acts in BG3 except Taash is just a lot more chill and less energetic

Also to say Taash has the worst story in the game is insane when Harding’s exists (no disrespect to Harding I just think that her questline sucks)

Back on the Emmirich topic except it’s on topic with Taash, Taash being weirded out or cautious about the shit Emmirich does is literally the most normal reaction to Necromancy.

I was forwarded a DISSERTATION on how Neve isn't a real relationship for Lucanis, “because she doesn't validate Spite”, and truly, genuinely:

I need y'all to stop whole ass making shit up to protect your blorbo from this character, who is actually better than you in every way, and go see a therapist.

ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.

Good job. You panned a great game with some of the most diversity in gaming history, a poc cast and a nonbinary character played by a nonbinary actor, and the ability to be trans or nonbinary yourself and talk about it in the game. Congratulations. If we don't get another game with this level of representation for years you know what the fuck happened.

plz reblog for sampo size :3
