I Love The Little Slap Taash Gives To Their Thighs As They Rocket Up From Their Seat During Thedas' Funniest

I think a lot of people dislike Taash discussing gender and being non-binary so explicitly because it forces them to acknowledge those issues rather than remain comfortable ignoring them. Transgender identities in Veilguard are not an innuendo, an off-handed remark, but they're mentioned and discussed in a way that prevents working around them and disregarding them. All the talk of people mentioning how DA games should be "medieval fantasy" and not use "modern language" is just a facade for wanting to be able to ignore what makes people uncomfortable.

I've come far enough in DaV to have all companions and I don't get why so many people are upset with Taash's writing.

Y'all rave about having queer characters in the game, but as soon as a queer character isn't kissing everyone's ass 24/7 they're suddenly badly written?

If anything, Taash is perfectly written for being a baby trans who's discovering themselves. I sure was 10 times more difficult when I had my own self-discovery period.

I've also seen people whinge about that "Nobody likes being a woman" line.

Yeah, because Taash is forcing themselves into the woman mold and don't realize they're allwed not to. And they're assuming everyone feels the same because it's not like they've had discussions about it with anyone.

Misunderstand me not, there's been a lot of valid criticism of DaV, but Taash not being a trans character that is palatable to cis people is not it.

Taash's recruitment mission gives me the vibes of when you meticulously plan all you are going to do next only for someone to show up and interrupt you, and it's not like that person has any bad intentions or anything, but they are still ruining your perfectly set-up routine and making your blood boil bit by bit over it

This is why I can't take this fandom seriously.

Taash is in their very early 20's. They are not a “thousands of years old being who speaks in iambs” or whatever the fuck it is that Solavellans gush on about. Not a goddamn thing they say is “crap” - it's short, it's to the point, it's very often funny as fuck because it pulls no punches. It serves as comedic punctuation very often simply because they don't have the patience for other people's bullshit.

I never see specifics as to what people find cringey and I suspect it's because people are uncomfortable with Taash's identity, or CONSTANTLY forget they are 20-23. And holy shit the cringe things everyone says at that age.

Taash is remarkable and mature for their age, an expert in their favorite subject, and recognized as such by people much older than them, who literally put their lives in Taash's hands regularly. I think Taash is allowed a few moments to be weird and 20 once in a fucking while without people coming for Trick and gurgling on about inconsistent writing.

Y’all seen these videos

Harding: This is a weird question, but do you think I could sit on your shoulders in battle one day? Taash: Why? Harding: I could shoot at people. And you could axe them. We'd be walking artillery. Unstoppable. Taash: Oh. Ohhhh. Yes.

I pretty much have resigned myself to just not being able to look up any DragonAge videos on YouTube. Curious about a specific scene? Nope. Gonna have to wade through "THIS IS THE CRINGIEST DIALOGUE" with a screencap of Taash. It can literally have nothing to do with what I even looked for. Are folks still this upset over that? There's enough ragebait out there as it is, but at this point its just goofy.

This one took a little while longer to get out than usual. My writer's block seems to be flaring up and I'm a little emotionally shaken, but it's out! I think I'll take the next chapter to finish off some light fluff and filler, and then fall back strong with where I'm hoping my story to go.

As always, thanks for reading! I really appreciate every single one of you.

The Day Our Lives Shattered

I remember the day vividly—explosions began in the distance, growing into a deafening roar. Smoke and fear engulfed us as we watched our neighbors flee in terror. We grabbed our children and ran, pushing through a sea of panic until we could run no more.

Finding Refuge Amid Desperation

We found temporary shelter in a classroom turned into a makeshift refuge. The walls were bare, the air thick with fear. Surrounded by other displaced families, we shared a profound sense of loss.

The Heavy Burden of Loss

I lost my home—my sanctuary—now reduced to rubble. My workshop, where I built my life as a blacksmith, was completely destroyed. I lost not only my tools and savings but also my livelihood. The deepest wound is the loss of hope: the hope that my children could thrive, free from fear.
