Making this its own post, because I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from people saying they didn’t realize Meredith had sent for the Right of Annulment long before Anders blew up the Chantry. (This ambient dialogue is at the very beginning of Act 3.)

Just let that sink in.

The tempalrs were going to slaughter everyone in the Circle. Regardless. Completely separate to Anders’ actions.

This, combined with Leliana’s report that Divine Justinia is contemplating a new Exalted March on Kirkwall because she considers the mage unrest the “worst threat to Thedas since the Qunari invaded,” really puts things into perspective.

if you’re irish and you complain about britain “erasing culture” but can’t even speak the language/ don’t know shit about ireland before 1910 then just shut your cakehole nobody cares

Them being Irish and not being able to speak the language/not knowing shit about Ireland before 1910 is a direct result of Britain erasing culture, you goddamn Vitamin D-deficient circus clown

Old Gods

They say:
You are all dust,
And ash,
And the dregs left
At the bottom of a cup.

They laugh:
Who would bow
To gods with blood on their hands
And a roar in their throats

They forget:
Their god’s hands were never clean

I say:
How could you forget
To worship the sun?

My blood sings in response
To the voices of these ancient gods
And I lift my cries to join theirs
Wild and unmatched.

They gift me knives and light
And sharp teeth.

They walk in my dreams,
All feathers and skin that smells
Of the darkest places of night
And the brightest places of day.

I laugh:
You read your dusty tome.
My gods have never been more alive.

Another interesting Sobek tidbit from a book I’m currently reading: ‘Daily Life of the Egyptian Gods’ by Dimitri Meeks.

“Sobek, the crocodile, surprised a band of enemies and massacred them. A victim of his natural inclinations, he unhesitatingly devoured them all; but he carried their heads back home with him as proof of his exploit. The gods rushed toward him, shouting, “Prevent him from eating them (the heads), give him bread!” One can imagine the expression on poor Sobek’s face. This god was not particularly successful at keeping his predilection for meaty dishes under control and was sometimes overwhelmed by sudden cravings.

When the dismembered Osiris was cast into the Nile, Sobek yeilded to temptation and gulped down part of his body. He was subsequently punished for his lapse, due to his boundless voracity more than to a desire to do harm to the body of his fellow god: he had his tongue cut out. That, so the story goes, is why crocodiles do not have tongues.“

Poor Croc Dad getting called tf out right now!
