sometimes u headcanon a character as a sexuality but then also ship things that contradict that. sometimes you ship things you would NEVER EVER want in canon. this is because these things are fun and silly and not legally binding.

sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"

Illario x OC Question #14

In a physical fight between your OC and Illario, who would win?

[aderinalchemii]

It depends?? But overall probably Illario. August is extremely strong and could probably take down a dragon on their own, but they have to be in the right head space to fight and are easily caught unaware. And then here comes Mr. Sneakysneak, I assume Crows are always "on", so to speak, when it comes to fighting, so he would simply stab them when they weren't paying attention. He would lose if August caught him, but thats a big if.

Nice try Bioware, but I know the state of Southern Thedas better than you do.

First off, it matters if the Hero of Ferelden is alive or not. When the First Warden recalled all wardens, our hero knew that was a bad call and refused, finally splitting off from Weisshaupt after years of mismanagement and taking scores of wardens with them. Their presence and leadership makes all the difference, rallying southern Thedas once more against the blight. If you have only an Orlesian Warden Commander in Amaranthine they’re less inspiring, but as long as you’ve done Awakening they are a boon nonetheless. There is someone to lead the fight against the darkspawn while other focus on the Venatori.

If you 100% completed Awakenings and also Soldier’s Peak, the Ferelden wardens have never been so prepared. They’re organized, they’re outfitted and they’ve been ready for this for years. Also, if you allied with the Architect then you have scores of strange research to give you an edge.

If Merrill completed her Eluvian then she moves south once again and joins the effort. She’s managed to cleanse the blight before and she’s ready to try it again. And her knowledge of the crossroads gives the south an edge on their movement and supply lines. If Hawke’s sibling is a Warden they accompanied her.

If the Inquisitor let Briala have power in any way, the Dales become the leaders in the war against the Venatori, forming a formidable alliance with Ferelden, Orzammar and the Marches, the likes of which have never been seen. And if you completed Jaws of Hakkon then their alliances with the Avvar and Chasind are stronger than ever.

Of course, if the Inquisitor kept the Wardens around after Here Lies the Abyss then their numbers are bolstered. It may cost Wiesshaupt later, but that’s Rooks problem. And if you completed the Descent, then the Inquisitor and Warden had a much better idea of what was coming and spent ten years getting ready.

They will not be broken.

They will weather this storm.

Illario Week Day 7!

I was turning Caterina around in my mindcrowave and thought: is she also ace?? So between the adhd (I've talked before on here about my head cannon that Illario has it has it) and being just so, so allo, she had so little to connect to Illario on in a human way. Like, Lucanis is good and always does what she says and eats wheaties and never gets distracted by things like love or even attraction. Perfect soldier Crow Grandson. He can love Rook now cause he's earned it??

I don't know if this makes sense, but I've just been so confused on why someone would willingly have 6 children and never even make her only heirs get married and start popping out babies asap if she just... didn't care for the idea? She was like, 'I was married and had a bunch of children and it sucked and they didn't even live, so why put the boys through that. People who have time for romantic love aren't the First Talon of the Crows, I'm just better than those people. I don't want to spend my life playing happy family when I can just protect what I already made.' With like a hint of sex repulsion maybe?

Back to the point, because it is Illario Week and not Caterina week, if he's the only allosexual in the house plus the adhd, I'm sure that Caterina could not fathom why his impulsivity was through the roof. Sleeping with anyone he wanted, cause he could, and she never saw that as a good thing despite it being his biggest asset as a Crow? Because it wasn't the right way (way she taught him). And he's just not sure why everyone around him is able to be so disciplined to the point of never having fun? He's obviously disciplined if he's a master assassin and no one batted an eye when he became First Talon outside of the people who knew he was conniving.

I just feel a little sorry for Caterina, but not enough to forgive all the ~abuse~. Feel much more sorry for Illario and Lucanis who grew up in a house with a woman who (probably) saw love as an obligation she had to force herself to do, rather than a feeling she felt.

Anyway, I didn't finish my fic so this is my contribution instead... thank you to @illarioappreciation and @lustaniasaxon for hosting this week!!!
