My kid understands that when a place is "closed" it means we can't go there but doesn't understand that something being "open/closed" is independent of our plans.
So sometimes he'll say something like "Home closed, library open!"

One of the most Video Game things I did in my TTRPG was have an NPC the heroes helped previously show up with a bunch of Health and Mana potions right before the end

Taash would actually fall under my definition of "representation that matters" because their story can't be avoided or ignored, and it's all about asserting their identity.

Okay handfasting delayed because, erm...
We lost Velanna and had to do a quick funeral. Not cool handfasting someone basically on top of her body, you know?

@ghildirthalen.bsky.social so I've been wondering how much influence the different Evenuris had over the Blight. Like in Origins we see a Genlock Forgmaster but after Uthemriel (and we assume June) dies we don't see Darkspawn crafters anymore.

I perhaps should have anticipated that the hardest part of getting my kid to bed at a reasonable time is that he's too much fun to hang out with.

It is perfectly possible and widespread to recognize prejudice towards one minority and not others.
Fiction is always simpler than reality, and sometimes makes biases a lot more transparent.

Getting really invested in the worldbuilding of the media I consume and then watching children's shows is a special kind of hell.

Isabella: I can't believe we went through all that and there wasn't even treasure at the end.
Sebastian: Perhaps the true treasure was the friends we made along the way.
Anders: Like she said, no treasure.

AU where Bucky Barns seemingly gets disintegrated by the Tesseract guns but actually gets transported to Thedas where he becomes the Herald of Andraste and that's why he's missing his left arm when he gets back to his world.

I'm a little raw atm, so I don't think I can be brave like Talon here, but Dragon Age is so incredibly important to me as well. 10 years of sorrows eased by digging into the world of Thedas in the games, with friends, and in the good ol' mind palace.

One of the most amazing things about my current TTRPG is that we're on our second campaign and an NPC I hadn't even bothered to give a name, an NPC who was supposed to die to introduce a major antagonist (but the PCs saved him) is about to become the linchpin that connects everything together.
