I enjoy Veilguard for the story.
The story:
me starting veilguard: gosh all the companions are all fun so far, i wonder who i might romance-
me meeting emmirch: im gonna fuck that old man
Emmrich Volkarin gives the best full body massages.
Obviously Emmrich has immaculate dental hygiene, but what if he chipped a tooth in a fight? Gold filling, right? Are other Mourn Watchers sporting some shiny grills?
I'm so excited to share this! I treated myself to some art.
Thank you so much to the very talented @svanha for producing such a triumph! I hope you will continue to create more of the ever beloved Emmrich Volkarin!!!

The original storyboard for Emmrich and Johanna went so hard. I can just SEE this scene play out in my mind: 😭
Emmrich’s battle hardened face as he defeats her.
Cut to her face as she is dying.
Flashback montage of their friendship over the years.
Back to Emmrich’s face and he’s absolutely devastated.
I do like how even in the concept art, her skull is intact. So we'd always get the flippant talking head.
By far the worst aspect of Veilguard IMO is the elvhen gods being the Big Bad. I know it was set up in Inquisition and I know gods being evil tyrants isn't exactly a novel concept, but it would have been a lot more interesting if Solas wasn't immediately proven right about the Evanuris when they broke out of their Fade prison. I'm picturing Elgar'nan/Ghilan'ain playing a similar role to Solas, manipulating Rook but also giving them genuinely helpful advice, maybe offering them the power to achieve what they want most if they side with them over Solas. Solas, meanwhile, still tries to get Rook to kill them so he can tear down the Veil.
But BioWare hates the elves, so we gotta have the Evanuris immediately unleash the Sixth Blight and make the Dalish look like idiots for worshipping them. And not only that, the gods of the indigenous-coded race's religion have to be responsible for everything bad that ever happened.
Agreed. The villains should have had more subtlety. They easily could have come across as victims wrongfully imprisoned by the sinister Dread Wolf. They totally could have played into Rook's distrust of Solas. The whole game could have been about whose side should Rook believe as you slowly work to uncover the truth.
Finally finished something I've been working on for a while but had to put on hold when I got sick. This fic goes along with a Cameo I bought from Nick Boraine. Thank you @hugoingellvar for this gorgeous screenshot!
The air in the Memorial Gardens swirled with magic and motes of the Fade, the scent of Shroud's Kiss tangling on the breeze. The beauty was mesmerising. Vae's heart beat wildly in her chest, a frantic rhythm in the sudden silence after Emmrich's kiss. He had pulled back, his lips curved into a smile that was both enraptured and utterly triumphant.
"What a day of unexpected splendour."
I love love LOVE thinking about Emmrich blushing. Is it just his ears? Cheeks? His whole face and neck? That man has spent most of his life out of the sun. His complexion is the perfect canvas to display a pink flush.
Emmrich with my daily affirmations
Rook looked in the mirror and frowned. The dress was quite ill-fitting. She knew she needed appropriate attire to sneak into the gala, but the revealing gown was clearly tailored to emphasize Teia’s figure. “I'm not sure I can pull this one off.”
“Nonsense”, said Teia. “This here? Is spare room for him to put his hands.”
The mirror reflected the alarm in Rook’s face. “Whose hands?”
Teia grinned as she gathered some of the extra material to pin in place. “The professor. You like him, no?”
Rook’s words failed her. Was it that obvious?
Teia arched her brow as she continued to work. “That cannot be a revelation. You keep smiling at him even when he's not looking.”
“I don't think he's interested,” Rook said quietly.
Teia scoffed. “Remind me to tell you about Viago sometime.”
Teia gently gripped Rook’s shoulders and turned her so that they were facing one another. “It's true your physique isn't as generous as mine but a man like that hasn't been waiting for some buxom temptress. No, it's clear he loves with his whole heart. Therefore, you do not need to seduce his eyes. You must attract his heart.”
Teia’s words sunk deep down as Rook thought it over. Apparently this was the rallying speech that Rook didn't know she needed. A slow smile spread across her face. “Thank you, Teia. For the dress. And the advice.”
“Any time. Now, go. Work your magic.”
This.
...and now I really want a plaster casting of Emmrich's hands
thinking about how during your romance with Emmrich, he's basically holding himself back, holding his breath, the whole time. And then post epilogue, how it feels to receive the full force of his love. Unashamed unrestricted love. Like stepping out into the sunshine.
get in loser we’re making emmich volkarin our entire personality
Don't worry Emmrich, good-looking people get away with anything.
Emmrich during his early scenes: always has a pleasant friendly smile with his new young colleague and keeps a level of professionalism so nothing untoward is thought of him no matter how pretty they are.
Rook, so horny they can’t see straight: you hauve sooo much control ;) ;)
