Been working really hard on a DAO fanfiction

Grace Halvorson (she/they) @graceundersiege.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I have the #DragonAge bug something fierce. It arrives out of nowhere, as bored curiosity: "Oh, maybe I'll boot up Origins again for a second & compare it to BG3 for science." And now I'm 2 playthroughs into Origins and 10 hours of modding into Inquisition in preparation to play it after DA2.

Steve Valentine COOKED when voice acting Alistair. All these years later, and I still cannot get over the stellar performance

Man, Dragon Age: Origins is still *chef's kiss* 🤌 Can't believe I was fortunate enough to share much of my formative youth with both Dragon Age & Baldur's Gate 3

Rereading some old fanfics I wrote. At the time, I felt proud of them but was also hard on myself (a fierce self-editor I am). But a year & 1/2 later? Looking good. Really enjoyed rereading them! Good heart, adorkable & a lot of effort.

Going to be working more hours at my job this fall! Hopefully I can scrounge up some extra money to improve my home office/streaming setup! Very exciting to think about (my streaming has been severely sidelined because of my terrible setup).

You know, I was pretty wary about going to church again, but the church near us is very progressive, welcoming & actually does REAL social work in the community. It's been such a boon to have an in-person community during these uncertain times.

Really sucks to hear about the layoffs at Besthesda. Many of those people made games I love. I hope Bethesda doesn't lose sight of what's made their games special. Microsoft as well. They have a real opportunity to turn themselves around & embrace a pro-human, pro-physical philosophy. We'll see...

Making a lot of changes in my life: - Regular exercise - Less scrolling - More co-op games w/ my husband - Started going to church (LGBTQ+ friendly & does ample active work in the community) - Eating healthier - Tighter budgeting - More French practice - More writing (still working on this one)

Gonna try to get into Elder Scrolls Online since it's on sale. I'm not a fan of MMOs, but I'm itching to play an Elder Scrolls game with my husband, so hopefully this will hit the spot.

It's been a hard year to be a member of the queer community. I've surely grown quieter & retreated in many ways, which is a shame because I was just growing comfortable to express & leave the closet in small ways. So this pride month, I'm celebrating small expressions of queerness. Little braveries

Went to the Renfaire & found a local fantasy publisher! While my novel is not yet ready to publish, a few short stories are, and my novel should be done relatively quickly now that the series has been mapped out in high detail. I just have to lock in & write & everything is in place 🩵💚💛🩷

Been getting lots of new followers the past week or so! Welcome to my corner of the internet! I like to keep it chill & positive 'round here, even as the world outside crumbles into dystopian levels of madness. 🌎☄️

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Sometimes my dog will sit at the window just WAITING for something to bark at. He'll whine nervously, shift around on his butt, and growl. I always tell him "Stop Doomscrolling!" and he dejectedly walks away from the window. We're not so different, little man. Looking for something to be mad at. 😔

I need to work more on my short stories soon. I don't mean to procrastinate, but life gets busy sometimes. However, I can't help but feel the stories I write may be just the light some readers needs in times like these.

People pretend like games from the 90s and 00s were perfectly made on release because they couldn't patch them (specifically on console) and I feel like folks misremember that it was because we didn't expect games to get fixed so we just considered any non-game breaking issue as "part of the game".

People be like, "There's nothing we can do to fix it..." There's nothing we can do to have it fixed instantly, but there's absolutely things we can do to fix it.

Just a reminder that when you feel overwhelmed by politics, channel that energy into canceling subscriptiona you don't need for Netflix or Amazon, or buy something local. Get registered to vote with a friend. There's things we can all do that are attainable & helpful.

Fell asleep after 2 glasses of wine while watching an Any Austin unemployment survey, then woke up to brush my teeth at 4am. Had a pretty good Friday night.

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people. It’s an escape when life is difficult. A temporary distraction. A way to connect with friends across the world. Video games help more than some people think. Wish more people could see that.

Fantasy with a romantic subplot (greater emphasis put on the world, magic & its characters)
