Ciara, 26, she/her, semi-active dragon age blog | main blog @stuckinpermafrost

Pinned post!

This is my side blog that I've created for Dragon Age: The Veilguard! My main is @stuckinpermafrost, so I like and follow from there. You can also find me on AO3 at regularturtle, I don’t really write DA fic in general but I have written a couple.

We’re now a good bit past Veilguard’s release, so I no longer tag spoilers. Proceed with caution if you haven’t played or finished it yet!

FYI this is a Veilguard-critical blog (out of love for the franchise as a whole, I swear <3). If you only want to see posts about what people loved about the game, this isn’t the blog for you. I love pieces of it but I do post/reblog plenty of criticisms of the game.

My canon PCs (as much as that means anything anymore…):

Dragon Age: Origins: F!Cousland warrior, Alistair romance

Dragon Age II: M!Hawke mage, Fenris romance

Dragon Age: Inquisition: F!Lavellan mage, Solas romance

Dragon Age: The Veilguard: F!Warden dwarf rogue Rook, Davrin romance

I’ve read every book and comic, Last Flight is my favorite ❤️ (please talk to me about how I feel about Last Flight in the context of Veilguard. dear god do I have opinions)

the other thing about the crows being the way they are in veilguard is that i genuinely think it makes zevran's arc in origins look worse. a story about a person who needs to be shown mercy and friendship before he can even start to fathom living a life outside of them, fighting back against the organisation that abused him and he's literally just a rank and file crow so there must be hundreds of crows with the same story as him. which would lead me to believe there would be moral/idealogical conflicts if you try to play a 'good' rook interacting with the heir to a crow house, especially first talon. maybe this is a bit of metagaming in that the player knows more about how terrible the crows are than a pc would. but also can we be for real the thedas equivalent of the mob not being taken seriously? rook walks to talon number seven and is like "heyyyy so you're the guy?" and doesn't even blanche at the realisation that this is a talon? i should have been given the option to cuss out viago just because he IS a talon like legitimately what can eg. a veil jumper know about the crows beyond that they are dangerous and shouldn't be trusted unless you have the gold to ensure it. but instead you kind of walk up to marlon brando and he's like "luigi great you brought me these two random guys. now don't tell anyone you two but youse must go save my grandson. i trust youse above anyone else to do this." like why the fuck is marlon brando telling me this shit. and presumably if a foreign national private investigator (neve) can set up a meeting with the mob boss then weirdly enough it makes caterina look so stupidly accessible like mind you not even loghain met a talon in person. there wasn't even a stupid test of faith before you walk into the top floor of their casino. in fact helping an orphan entrench himself further into the crows and help them recruit EVEN MORE orphans into the mob is treated as quote unquote good because the crows rule antiva. and this is supposed to be the leadership of the antivan crows who made zevran's life so utterly miserable he thought he had to kill himself to get out of it. from what you see in veilguard there's nothing to even run away from they are so comically frustratingly nothingburgers

it's so funny that people saw this and were like "well that is clearly andraste herself" imagine if they kill the pope in an explosion and a bunch of people saw this

and they said "clearly jesus with his big hat"

The Firstborn: Andruil, Mythal's Ambition

In her build and her coloration, she takes after her father. But what many attribute as Elgar'nan's bloodlust, is truly the ambition of Mythal, aimed at increasingly greater targets.

Evoking her title of "sister of the moon" with her hair adornments - probably abalone

Her leg armor is fabric reinforced with not grommets but triangles of metal to deflect blows

Body modifications of lyrium in her chest to give her greater stamina

Lyrium bands in her arm, wrist, and leg cuffs to give her greater strength

Shark earrings as trophies from hunting Ghilan'nain's sea monsters

The skin of a giant snake as her robe, evoking her fight with Mythal

Red kicks and black leg warmers to evoke modern runners lol

And of course, war paint that evokes the motion of both dragons and bows and arrows, as well as the stripes and spots of great predators.

I was looking at a pose from @reds-references for this one, just the perfect body type for the Huntress herself.

I think she goes well enough with Mythal's design, though there are things I want to change now that I made Andruil slightly more polished lol. Like, Mythal needs her talons.

I love the trope of assassins/pirates taking infinite knives out of random places? Body of holding;;; hhhh.. so talented…
