the scream I screamt

My dear friends: When a librarian or teacher says "Audiobooks count as reading", we do not literally mean that audiobooks are the same as decoding visual meaning via symbols representing sounds. We mean, among other things:

Audiobooks can expose listeners to new vocabulary and forms of syntax.

Audiobooks can present listeners with long-form fictional narratives with engaging characters, interesting literary devices, and poetic turns of phrase.

Audiobooks can teach listeners new information in a long-form manner that goes into depth or wide breadth on a particular subject or subjects.

Audiobooks can help listeners' verbal comprehension skills.

Audiobooks can do all these things without presenting the same difficulties to blind, low vision, partially sighted, visually impaired, or dyslexic listeners; listeners with ADHD; listeners who experience physical difficulty with holding a book or e-reader; or listeners who are disabled in a host of other ways that a physical book or e-reader might present.

The written word is not specially imbued with magical noble worth above the spoken word, and if you think it is, you may have some ableism and/or racism to deconstruct.

The 'all lives matter' MAGA pro-lifers are a Christofascist eugenics movement.

I need Dorian's reaction to the solavellan ending. I can't stop thinking about it.

Before the final battle he asks Lavellan if she'll be leaving again after this and if I recall correctly she says, "Something like that."

She knows. If there is a way to end this with Solas safe and hers, she will go with him. Lavellan likely put all of her affairs in order before departing Skyhold for the last time. Probably walked those now too empty halls and thought about seeing him again.

And Dorian probably knew, too. He knows her. He's her best friend. Possibly her only friend.

After, once Rook explains what happened, I imagine he holds the sending crystal in his hand and quietly says his friend's name, hoping against all reason and known rules of the Fade that he'll hear a response.

Solas and Varric inaudible argument dialogue...

I managed to clean up the dialogue audio of Solas and Varric "arguing inaudibly" in the background during ritual while you're running to break scaffolding.. I wanted to know exactly what they were saying! :) If anyone else is interested and couldn't hear it in the game... 😊

when i go in a room and forget what i needed i become a point and click protagonist. [water bottle?] that’s not helpful right now. [socks?] i don’t know what to do with that. [charger?] that’s not helpful right now. [scissors?] i can’t do anything with that. [water bottle?] that’s not helpful right now. [lone paperclip?] that’s not helpful right now. [water bottle?]
