Feb. 13th, 2019 09:02 am- Zevran/Male Warden Romance Playthrough: I just wanted to get a feel for Zevran's voice, and instead got many squishy feelings for a fictional assassin. Also featuring the traditional watching-and-Origins-romance feel of 'why are you being so mean? ...oh, right, because Origins insists on your PC being mean to fuel other character's growth.'
- (cw: alcohol, addiction)(h/t
chocochipbiscuit) A look out how the science of alcohol addiction has changed, and how the AA approach may kinda suck. I am always here for science getting a better idea of how something works, and how to help people... though it kinda sucks how you can get the first thing that vaguely works sticking around even when there are other options. (Also, the way AA frames people who the program doesn't help as 'not trying hard enough' is a recipe for confirmation bias. - (cw: racism) (h/t also
chocochipbiscuit) Racism and Fantasy. This is included here because it gave me a moment of 'oh heck, yeah, that's full of implications' and gave me stuff to keep an eye on in my writing. - (cw: transphobia, racism) Prominent white British feminists may be more prone TERF-iness because they haven't had intersectionality thrust upon them the way white American feminist have.
- I have made some miniatures and am unreasonably proud
