if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising “organic blood” sourced from “willing donors” who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.
it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of “I’m a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS” girl no it doesn’t. that’s meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
I’d say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn’t the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I’m being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven’t even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it
yes that’s how confirmation bias works
People get their panties up in a twist about astrology because they think it’s people shoving themselves into boxes that are not pre-existing.
Most people who like astrology like it because it reflects things about themselves that they relate to that they have difficulty vocalizing themselves. And things like doing a chart reading can allow you to gaze deeply into yourself

The worst characters are the ones were you only get like three pieces of lore about them but the lore is so fascinating and hits your brain at just the right angle to have you behaving like a feral dog in front of your conspiracy theory cork board
Did you know that it’s possible to get to the end of Trespasser without a full party to take into the final fight? My brother achieved this purely accidentally in his initial playthrough of Dragon Age Inquisition by:
Missing the Blackwall recruitment quest
Declining to recruit Cole because he didn’t trust a demon
Declining to recruit Dorian because he didn’t trust a Tevinter necromancer
Declining to recruit Sera because he found her speech patterns confusing
Getting Vivienne’s party invite and going “that’s obviously a trap” and not going
So when he did Trespasser:
Solas obviously wasn’t in the party
Iron Bull betrayed the party because he was still Ben-Hassrath
Leaving my brother to face the final boss with literally only Varric, Cassandra and an empty companion slot because they were all he had left
