theprerogative, runesque & stelf were over today: there was food and crazy card games & dragon age 2 and Chrissie and I have TOTALLY lost our voices but it was awesome. I may need to communicate with elvaron tomorrow via laptop or sign language.

I love how your comment-button-thingie says SAY IT ANYWAY because it totally encouraged me to reply to this post even though I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, OI.

Well, I know it's all about Dragon Age 2 and that there are two characters called Anders and Fenris. But, that's about it.

I am so glad you're having so much fun with your friends, though. ♥

...edited because I can't type when I'm excited, haha.

:D

[thelovemafia]

because I am encouraging and wonderful, that is totally me ♥

HI SWEETIE ♥

HAHAHAHA ACTUALLY YES THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DRAGON AGE <3

I AM GLAD YOU HAVE FINALLY OPENED MY PRESENT XDXDXDD

I can't type when I am excited also!! :D

your icon, it is fabulous. and so are you.

[extraordinary]

that is totally me ♥

YES~! I'm glad we're on the same page, haha. ;)

SERIOUSLY? *grin!* You make it sound like it's the best thing anyone invented EVER on your Twitter... x'D! I'd almost want to give it a go, but I don't think I have the patience to play a game like that. I can barely finish Pokémon, ugh. I WISH I COULD COME OVER AND WATCH YOU PLAY IT. Maybe I should settle for watching Youtube videos.

OMG! I totally need to tell you more about it~! Making an LJ post soon. :)

OMG YEAH :D YOURS IS FUNKY AND FUN AND AWESOME AND SO ARE YOUUU

[thelovemafia]

!!! You finally opened the 2nd present?! GO LIN!! XDDDD HOPE YOU LIKED!!! ;D

HAHAHA I think I always make my fandoms sound like the best thing invented whenever I am MADLY in the throes of them :D

YES I WISH YOU WERE HERE SO YOU COULD COME AND WATCH ME PLAY DRAGON AGE ON MY TV. I LOVE MY TV. AND MY XBOX. AND MY GAME.

I'm not sure if it's your kind of thing though - it's really rather dark ;( and I want you to have HAPPY stories!! SO... WISH YOU WERE HERE SO I COULD SHOW YOU THE FUN BITS ONLY!!!

HAHAHAHA that dog comic is AWESOME.

It's ok. I built Fenris' friendship on lies too. :/
My Anders soft spot is a giant black hole that sucks me into trying all the flirt options and then reloading when I don't get the points that I want.

Honestly though at the very end, even if you pick the mages, Fenris is willing to go against the ingrained hatred of all he remembers to side with you out of friendship. :/ Anders won't side with you if you go templar. So in a way... I guess Fenris... is a little more worth it... lol.

Fenris' gift is in the third act. :O

There's an achievement if you make it through an act with no one dying. :3 But I only managed that with warrior! Hawke.

You can get Fenris to drink pots by himself I think? I like to micromanage on PC so none of my characters have an autopotion tactic.

LOOOVE Anders. Going friendship first then rivalry second was totally worth x2 playthroughs. ;3

[thelovemafia]

re. Fenris's gift being Act 3: so glad am not being as much of a bastard to Fenris as I have feared. :D
yaay :) go us!

have discovered that I will need to do the same thing also, I think. I really dislike making Anders sad. /BEST EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL TARGET EVER

I have heard rumours that the next patch will fix the Anders rivalry romance. If so I will do it then.

HAHAHAHA making it through an Act with no one dying! A DISTANT DREAM TO ME. :) But thank you for letting me know.

Yes! I get Fenris to drink healing potions by himself. Sometimes Anders and I are not enough. I don't like micromanaging, being super picky re tactics is pretty much as far as I go. But maybe I will try it sometime.

I like what you said about Fenris siding w you even if you go mages. :)

[manic_intent]

yea... choosing the aggressive options to upset him is very painful...

Yup I heard that too! I will replay my Garrett Hawke Anders dialogues if necessary!

I didn't manage the achievement with either of my mage or rogue, only with Lionel!Warrior. :/

A lot of times it's about party placement, pulling enemies down a corridor so that they only come through one entrance rather than spawning everywhere, but usually I'm lazy. If you're going to complete the Forbidden Knowledge quest it might be necessary to be tactical though. :/

[thelovemafia]

I know :( Dammit Anders. IT'S SO HARD TO BE HARD ON YOU.

There are times I know what I should do with party placement, but then Fenris runs ahead, and I am, "OH HELL WHATEVER" - Anders and Varric tend to be very good though.

I didn't bother with the Forbidden Knowledge quest on this playthrough, but maybe next one. Attribute points don't grow on trees after all :)

Yay Lionel!Warrior! :)

Yay! :) May we both get the proper Anders rivalmance we've been waiting for! :)

[demoerin]

That dog comic is at once horrifying and endearing. It looks evil! And if Fenris is your Yamamoto, doesn't it mean you'll come to like him?

However, news! I've got your postcard from December though still not the package, gj postal system. Thank you, and ♥♥♥! ADORABLE GIANT RABBIT HEAD.

Dunno if you still remember what you wrote, but you mentioned my neighbours' animals and I can offer some reassurance on the bunny front: nothing happened to the rabbits while they were still around. However, the neighbours seem to have broken up, and the guy who left took the dogs and the rabbits. Hopefully things have not come to strawberry jam somewhere else.

oh Ed, you know me so well

[thelovemafia]

You know me so well - it's true. I have come to love him, raging at myself all the way. And at him also. GOD IT'S LIKE LIKING GOKUDERA.

!!! You got my postcard from December? Clearly this must means I should send you a package again :) I REALLY SUSPECT THEY CONFISCATED IT DUE TO THE YAOI. I am sad it was a nice package. But this means I should send you things piecemeal next time. :)

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE WALTER THE BUNNY. :) And yes I remember what I said re. STRAWBERRY JAM. I am glad that things did not come to jam while they were there; what happens elsewhere, we can now no longer know. I will imagine them happy, in fields of carrots and sweet grasses. :) AND NO DOGS. :)

Re: oh Ed, you know me so well

[demoerin]

No dogs! Or at least dogs behind a fence, some distance away.

But augh you don't have to send me more stuff, you are too sweet! And I'm bad at receiving gifts. If you do then you have to tell me more about your taste so you can get good presents too. At Christmastime I went around a bunch of shops wondering "Wee kudu-horn-earrings? MAYBE CHRIS DOESN'T LIKE EARRINGS! Cornflake packet wallet? BUT THAT'S RIDICULOUS."

PS what pairing was the doujinshi? :D 5927?

officially am worst and slowest person ever

[thelovemafia]

yes! the doujin was 5927. CLEARLY THIS MEANS I MUST TRY AGAIN WITH REGISTERED MAIL.

Chris likes rainbows :) chris doesn't have pierced ears so she cannot wear earrings for pierced ears, but she does like clip-ons. Chris loves stationery. your little notebooks were ADORABLE.

Also Chris sent you a postcard from Japan ♥ she hopes it gets there safely :))))

(chris finds talking in third person SO CONTAGIOUS)
