“I’m afraid of getting cancer from the cadmium in my painting supplies” I’m not 😌 I love you cadmium yellow. I love you vermillion red. I love you uranium orange, haven’t worked with you but I love you nevertheless. Most of all I love you arsenic green.
This dress could kill you but I completely understand why people in the late 19th century were willing to take that risk.
Here is uranium orange fiestaware, proving that beauty truly is pain.
just found out about London purple 🤤
I was wondering what was involved with London purple so as to merit its inclusion alongside such stars as arsenic green and uranium orange, and –
Yes people, we have homework. In case you missed it, or need to refresh that memory because hey, it’s been a while, here’s a quick short list of what to (re)read in preparation for this new entry in the series.
Books:
From Tevinter Nights: Down among the dead men (introduces Emmrich and Manfred), The wigmaker job (introduces Lucanis), The streets of Minrathous (introduces Neve).
The Last Flight, last novel released somewhere around DA: Inquisition. Takes the action to Weisshaupt, Grey Wardens HQ, and jumps between that present and the past explaining how the Griffons became extinct during the Fourth Blight. Will explain where Davrin’s griffon came from.
Comics:
Magekiller. It’s pretty introductory overall, set around Inquisition but it introduces “magekillers” as a job some people do. While in Tevinter Nights Lucanis is introduced as an Antivan Crow seems he’s decided to change careers so it can’t hurt to learn a bit about it.
The missing. Gives us Varric and Scout Harding already working together, and introduces us to Neve.
Short Stories:
Posted a while back in the BioWare page for Dragon Age day as crumbs to feast on while we waited, and waited, and waited..I recommend reading all of them simply because most people may have missed them and they add to lore and characters that while not among the new companions may still make an appearance and be relevant in Veilguard.
Of course I recommend reading EVERYTHING if possible, it all adds more layers and flavor and we know Solas is in the details, we can’t miss a thing, but I think if you’re short on time this counts as light reading enough to know where you’ll land when Dragon Age: The Veilguard finally arrives.
It does make me laugh when people talk about Dragon Age Origins as if it was this Grim, moody game with no jokes because I always think back to that one chantry in Haven that’s run by men and the minimap looks like this
This genre of re-enactment of video game logic/bugs/behaviour will never cease to be immensely funny
Not to mention everyone who does it is so insanely talented at portraying not only the vibes, but being dead on with the motion. I mean the courier in this alone has amazing core strength and rag dolls the EXACT way that bodies do in game. It’s honestly incredible.
I’m really sorry to like the 8 people that follow me that for the sudden insane amount of dragon age, I’ve not been a sleeper agent cos I think it’s well known that it’s one of my favourite game series.
But also I think it is incredibly comedic timing that I was randomly replaying it and making posts and then the most info ever about the new game drops suddenly.
