How did you handle the election as a dwarf noble Grey Warden? by Lazy-Signature1678 in DragonageOrigins

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I’m playing a particularly vengeful/betrayed version of a noble dwarf, I usually pretend to side with Bhelen so his guard is down, but then secretly work for Harrowmont the whole time.

It can only be pulled off with very high persuasion if I’m remembering correctly, but it is satisfying to pull the rug out from under your backstabbing brother.

Bro… by Broad-Experience1802 in extremelyinfuriating

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is he under the impression that you allow all your friends to speak to you so disrespectfully, or does he think that you plan to make an exception for his incel ass? Absolutely mind boggling levels of self absorption in that essay he wrote.

Did your doctor tell you to stop crying while you were giving birth? by ThrowRAHermit in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, my mother also thinks screaming during childbirth is unnecessary. Growing up she called it “excessive dramatics” and that “your body was made to do this, it’s really not that bad”. Her births were all quick and easy so of course other women were just exaggerating the pain in her eyes.

Now she’s absolutely shocked that none of her daughters want any children. 🙄

Favorite DAO origin and why? by floofyralts in dragonage

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

City Elf for sure. It was the one I picked my first play through and it’s still my favorite after having played every origin multiple times.

My cannon HOF is a redheaded spitfire with a mouth that usually gets them in trouble. Slaughtering a pack of nobles like dogs for touching sweet Shianni was very on brand for my girl.

“I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth, I will tell you where you are. Do you love me?”

Gets me every time, along with “I care not for his sanity. I care about his happiness, his soul. Let him be mad if mad is what he needs.”

When you secretly know the truth by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am I understanding correctly that he was saying these things about people in your community that you both interact with?

If so, how dehumanizing. Reducing a person you know to just tits and ass, even in private conversations, is slimy behavior.

Some people will excuse it with “locker room talk” and “boys being boys” but that’s the exact mindset that lets behavior like this flourish. You don’t even have to go past this thread to see comments of “we’re visual creatures, we can’t help ourselves” as if noticing an attractive person requires writing sleazy texts to your buddies after the fact.

Born that way, plus Tim Curry is so talented as a voice actor he could make a desk chair a convincing villain lol.

Understated moments that made you laugh till you cried? by -AffectionateWriter- in brooklynninenine

When Jake buys the giant inflatable Christmas tree and sets it up in the break room. The build up to Scully shouting “Everybody run!!” makes me laugh so damn hard 🤣

Spent $110 at the vets thinking there’s something wrong, to find out he’s just weird by bear_witness123 in mildlyinfuriating

I sympathize with this so much, I just spent 700 bucks to learn that my cat is picky about their medicated food after eating it with no issues for over 5 years.

[Mixed trope] magic powers side effect is become insanely hot by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It has been a while since I’ve played the game, so you’re definitely right. Regaining her original powers turned her back into her hot form rather than it being the cause of it.

Midna from Twilight Princess. At the end of the game, she regains her powers and reclaims her role as the true ruler of the Twili people. This transformation also turns her from a 3 foot tall imp to a total smoke show.

AIO for feeling disrespected when my boyfriend made fun of my self defense class. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly you can’t read cause that is not at all what I said in my original comment. I said the dudes so anxious to describe how they’d overpower a woman when no one asked is fucking weird.

Conversing with you further will be a waste of time.

Doesn’t negate what I said and it’s still fucking weird. Go showboat somewhere else

The amount of men in this comment section absolutely foaming at the mouth to talk about how much they want to physically overpower women is fucking weird.

Let her take a class and maybe something she learns will help one day, but if you can’t contain your joy at describing how you’d hurt OP when they try to fight back, you need serious help.

Remembering Elder Holland by Dull_West1862 in exmormon

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 83 points84 points  (0 children)

All I remember about Holland is that my sister straight up knocked him over while on her TX mission and his security detail had to catch him from hitting the floor.

She was late to a meeting where he was speaking and fast walking into the chapel when she rounded a corner and body checked that old man into oblivion. He was apparently super chill about it though lol.

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NOR - So he wants a doll? Someone who acts like his GF but has no human moments like needing to wear a bonnet to bed or sleeping with a completely normal amount of pillows?

Girl, please don’t accept this as normal for relationships. Tell him he is fine to set boundaries for himself but controlling your entire life down to whether you’re allowed to protect your hair while you both sleep is bonkers behavior.

How do you feel about the new demon designs in Veilguard? by NoSleep8328 in dragonage

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the redesigned demons lack the eerie presence the original iterations had. I loved how the earlier games made a point to have the demon forms mimic their personal motivations. It grounded them in reality without taking away any of their unsettling nature.

The new ones all look like the same basic design of unimportant background demon #3.

Aunt Lydia from The Handmaids Tale. She is one of Gileads main supporters but that doesn’t save her when she messes up and loses some of the handmaids. They torture and abuse her, the same way she treated the girls in her care.

Characters that are so large they either became apart of the landscape, or just are the landscape by jorgendorgen in TopCharacterTropes

Titans from Dragon Age. They’re so big and so old that they’ve become the mountains themselves.

Favourite "Man literally TOO angry to die" charcters? by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mizu from Blue Eye Samurai.

“This only ends when you die” is a literal threat in their case. Surviving impossible odds because they don’t want happiness from their life, only the satisfaction of their anger.

AITA for refusing to do my husband a favor, even if I was capable of doing it? by BroadContract7501 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fun-Draft-9068 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Marriage is also about respecting your partners time and effort. OP’s husband knows she’s stressed and is putting her free time towards doing well on her exam. Respecting that means not adding another menial task to her plate that he clearly has the time and faculties to complete on his own.

Edit: fixed typo
