Are Fedoras Really That Bad?

Varric Tethras as a character is wild. He calls everyone by a nickname. He writes trashy romance novels. He’s a prolific liar. His family got them kicked out of the dwarf kingdom for rigging dwarven Wrestlemania matches. He has fingers in literally every crime ring in Kirkwall. He lives in a pub. He named his weapon after his absent girlfriend with whom he has a restraining order. He denies his involvement in keeping the wizard police away from his friend’s illegal magic Urgent Care. He’s the mom of the friend group. And he does this all while being four feet tall

kaz buying a ring to propose to inej but for kicks and giggles she steals it to propose to him but then he steals it back and it just becomes a game of who can steal the engagement ring long enough to actually propose

Why people don't understand when we say

"Rosegarden is bullied"

Cross-posted on Twitter

I finally figured it out. they come from big ships. it seems other people think we're a big ship when we're not. they don't realize how small we are. it's majority ships vs a minority ship. that's not in terms of rival ships, but just the sheer size of any ship.

rg has like 20-30 active shippers (that's being generous. probably closer to like 10-20) at a time between twitter and tumblr; and only like a handful of content creators, most of which aren't even active in the community.

while big ships gets art or fics out the wazoo for big crumbs, we don't. we had huge crumbs the last two episodes and there's nothing. that's not a fault of the content creators ofc, but i'm using it to put things in perspective.

they don't realize even 5-10 people talking shit (joking or not) is huge for us. i've called it bullying in the past because that's what it is when it's so many people against so few. it's the sheer size of the ship vs the bigger ships like wr and nnd that makes the difference between 5 rg shippers talking trash about those ships and this ships talking trash about our's. neither scenario is right, but it hits harder when those 5 attackers are equivalent to 30-40% of one ship's active shippers vs 1-2% of another.

when you don't have enough people to drown out the hate, it becomes exhausting and really brings you down.

half the shippers i've asked said they were afraid to publicly admit to shipping rg bc of how much shit rg gets. i've met multiple people who've left the community because of the bullying, too.

if you check the twitter replies of this crosspost right now—only two hours since i posted it—there's already several people coming forward with their stories and their fears. more and more people keep coming out as the post spreads. my heart breaks for them.

the worst part is that i know rg isn't the only ship with this problem. i'm begging you all to think about how you would feel in our shoes. to try to be more mindful of the size of your ship vs the size of others.

trust me when i say your words are a lot louder than you intend.
