Ya'll Have Noticed That Nobody Seems To Be Upset About The Non-binary Mayor Of Treviso Or Maevaris, Right?

Harding: This is a weird question, but do you think I could sit on your shoulders in battle one day? Taash: Why? Harding: I could shoot at people. And you could axe them. We'd be walking artillery. Unstoppable. Taash: Oh. Ohhhh. Yes.

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.

not to be dramatic or anything but this makes me wanna commit crimes

taashs so hot it hurts

If you romance Taash (and you should) it WILL drive you insane to think of them when Rook is in the fade prison.

They literally got into a fight with Rook before that battle JUST cause they didn’t want to lose them. So they try to not think about it.

And yet, during the battle, they cannot take it. As much as they were trying to avoid it, the thought is driving them insane, all they can do is beg Rook not to die.

And then Rook disappears.

They’re just gone.

I don’t think Taash rested for a second after. But there is also nothing they could do. They have lost literally everything in the last months and now Rook is lost as well. They don’t know anything about the fade or magic or any of that. They weren’t supposed to have to deal with it at all! They were there for the dragon stuff!

And the desperation of feeling useless and unable to do anything to get Rook back, at the mercy of Emmrich and Neve or Bellara’s expertise. Nothing to do, no one to fight, no way to make this better.

But I don’t think they lost hope for a second, I don’t think they stopped pressing and insisting that they could find Rook, that they were not gone forever. Because they asked them not to die, they begged them, and they have to come back and keep their promise.

My first Rook just wanted to be the meat in a RowanTaash sandwich. 😜

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.

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

do not claim to be a taash fan if you constantly misgender them

I'm having So much fun with the colorblind challenge
