I think so much every day about how there's so much potential for Zevran in DAV! There's so much potential for him to have been in the crow storyline. He could have been a villain to begin with but the reaches out to rook to explain what the crows are really like in the case of a non crow rook or to explain to rook just how actually harmful this system that they grew up in is and why it needs to be set to rest and how Antiva needs a real army and a real government to protect the people.

Zevran being Dalish and never knowing he was and then outright rejecting his identity as an elf due to being in the crows and what being an elf in the crows means. Him identifying as simply Antivan. I think about this so often. He and Sera have so much in common. They're both slapping Solas' big blad head for every other elf who's not the "correct" kind of elf.

PROMPTS FROM ELLA ENCHANTED *  assorted dialogue from the 2004 film, adjust as necessary

i gotta work on that.

quiet, please. i can't concentrate here.

isn't it wonderful?

i have a no return policy.

why don't you go back to where you came from?

what a stupid name.

nobody wants you here.

i always knew something was wrong with me.

can't you take the spell back?

you must never tell anyone else.

i don't want anyone using it against you.

what's inside you is stronger than any spell.

take this. then i'll always be with you.

your father would like to speak to you.

it was either get married or sell the house.

is this the right address?

the house looks delightful.

my clothes need more room than this.

please don't touch it. it was my mother's.

admit you're stupid and don't know what you're talking about.

hold your tongue.

your coronation is next week.

i've kept my promise, haven't i?

i don't need your chivalry, thanks.

you're the first maiden i've met who hasn't swooned at the sight of me.

i want peace in the kingdom as much as anyone.

so you have a new plan once you take the crown?

that's what i thought. you're all just the same.

perhaps that's why i find your obvious disdain for me so refreshing.

i'll try and be more considerate next time i'm saving you.

next time? what makes you think we'll see each other again?

stop flirting with him.

i need you to do me a little favor.

a felon in my own family. i could die from embarrassment.

you are forbidden ever to see her again.

thank goodness you're all right.

i should have told you about this years ago.

i think it's only fair to warn you that i'm practiced in the ancient art of... origami.

don't let him scare you, sweetheart! kick his butt!

i am going to need so much therapy after this.

that's very sweet, but i'm on a tight schedule.

i'm on a tight schedule. were i not... i would love to have dinner with you.

great. i knew it. a talking book.

i think i may have found you another chance at your future husband.

elves aren't that short, you know.

the rustling always comes before the screaming and the running.

it never hurts to be on your guard.

i led a rally on your behalf the other day. maybe you heard about it.

we just did this. didn't we just do this?

who's to say it wouldn't have worked if you hadn't come barging in?

you're bleeding.

you'd better let me help you with that.

it makes it so much easier rescuing you if i don't have to commute.

your girlfriend doesn't mind being left alone?

that's not really my area of expertise.

you have the power to make a difference in the world and you don't even care.

they're not so bad. i thought they'd be all so big and scary.

i thought that maybe this would be a good time to possibly have a heart to heart.

do you know where the bathroom is?

i had no idea things were so bad.

you have to stay for the night.

i wish you would stay.

i hope you don't mind me saying this, but you're much prettier than i would have expected.

your father would have been proud.

i think he would have really liked you.

kiss me.

that wasn't an order, you know.

i trust your journey was pleasant?

might i trouble you for a moment?

you will tell no one of this plan.

i will do anything you ask.

please tell me you never wanna see me again.

we're together now. and when we're together, it's like magic.

will you marry me?

you tried to kill me.

i can't believe i'm saving you after you tried to kill me.

i should have disposed of you when i had the chance.

The idea of Zevran during veilguard writing letters to his companions to complain that the antivan crows are like trying to rebrand themselves is so funny to me. Like imagine now being king of fereldan and Zevran is opening a letter with "My Dearest Alistair I hope this letter finds you well and you have changed your hair since last we met," and it dissolves in to a tumblr level call out and cancellation google doc about the crows.

INCORRECT QUOTE GENERATOR! generate 3 - 5 quotes.

Zevran: Life keeps fucking me and I can't remember the safeword.

Zevran: I would never say that my partner is a bitch and I don’t don’t like them. That’s not true… My partner is a bitch and I like them so much!

The demon Zevran summoned, standing amidst the destroyed kitchen: How? How were you able to summon me?! Zevran, flipping through a cookbook as fast as he can: I don’t know!! You were supposed to be chicken soup!

Zevran: You wanna fight? All right, let’s take this outside. The stars are so bright tonight and the moon looks so nice. Here, hold my hand—

Zevran: I’m the sexiest bitch in this therapy waiting room.

@duelblades asked: i want to weep, i want to be comforted. i’m so tired of being strong. i want to be foolish & frightened for once. just for a small while. A Clash of Kings || Accepting

Zevran was no stranger to witnessing the burdens of leadership late at night. If you could call this night in the veil. Zevran would be lying if he said the Fifth Blight was the reason why he found it hard to rest at night. He occupied himself until his body screamed for sleep and Zevran took pity on it and closed his eyes. Such was the life of a former Crow and current Dark Shadow.

Emilia wasn't getting sleep either though, things had gone... tits up as Zevran liked to say. Emilia had a choice to make a hard one, now the burden and consequences of that choice were all on her shoulders. Zevran would not have saved Traviso and although he didn't agree with Tavinter and their approach to slavery, the crows weren't much better and this would have been a wake up call to them that Antiva needed their King to step up and be a ruler. Cloak and Dagger could never run a country. The crows never were and never could be the heroes that Antiva needed. Zevran had vocally supported Minrathous as the city to choose. Now Emilia sat unable to sleep on the outer balcony of the Lighthouse.

He had no skin in this game and Emilia had made her choice. Zevran didn't darken the doors of Traviso, they did not need him Neve and Minrathous did. He came back as a point of contact for Neve. He didn't hold this against Emilia, Traviso was her home and if Zevran had loved his fellow crows like Emilia did then he would have made the same choice for Antiva City. He looked up at her. She wasn't looking down at him in fact she didn't even know he was there. He was still a crow and hiding in plain sight was what he'd been trained to do. So he decided to be the first one to try to talk to her about what had happened.

"You can do all of those things you know," Zevran replied. He stroked Sombra who decided his lap was the best place to take a nap. Ligero stood in Emilia's not satisfied enough with the bakery orders to sit down quite yet.

"You had a very hard choice to make, perhaps not so hard in the moment but the weight of it afterwards has hit you yes?" The personal fallout of friends, seeing what happened to Minrathous in the aftermath... it wasn't a pretty sight and reminded Zevran what much of Ferlden had looked looked like during the blight.

"You know, a very dear friend of mine had to make similar choices." Zevran smiled fondly remembering his dear warden in their youth, though Zevran had always been older. "And those choices weighed heavily on us too. We were still able to weep, be foolish and fightened. Especially when things looked hopeless."

Zevran reached out to put his and on hers. An attempt to give her the comfort that she needed. "We used to sit around the fire with big long faces much like yours is now, covered in blood, tired and hungry. Then the dog would chase a squirrel and you know things were not so bad anymore and we laughed. You and your friends you have each other to lean on. You do not have to shoulder this along. You do not have to be the pillar holding everything up by yourself."

#ASOIAF: A CLASH OF KINGS. an assortment of quotes from george r.r. martin's a song of ice & fire series, the second in the series.

should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us.

show me the path i must walk & do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.

it's always summer in the songs; in the songs, all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, & the sun is always shining.

there are ghosts everywhere. we carry them with us wherever we go.

you told me you could be strong.

if i die, i die friendless & abandoned.

in the end, words are just wind.

battle fever: you don't feel your wounds then, or the ache in your back from the weight of the armor, or the sweat running down into your eyes. you stop feeling, you stop thinking, you stop being you, there is only the fight; the foe.

you little fool.

it was justice.

i want to make my kingdom beautiful.

when you’ve known me longer, you’ll learn that i mean everything i say. especially the lies.

a good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good.

what good is life, what good is death? 

sing. sing for your little life.

to go forward, you must go back. to touch the light, you must pass beneath the shadow.

i will hurt you for this. i don't know how yet, but give me time.

a day will come when you think yourself safe & happy, & suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth.

even gods die.

i am a creature of grief & dust & bitter longings.

power resides only where men believe it resides.

there's no shame in fear. what matters is how we face it.

 i want to weep, i want to be comforted. i’m so tired of being strong. i want to be foolish & frightened for once. just for a small while.

i take no joy in mead nor meat, & song & laughter have become suspicious strangers to me.

there is an empty place within me where my heart was once.

we look at mountains & call them eternal, & so they seem... but in the course of time — mountains rise & fall, rivers change their courses, stars fall from the sky, & great cities sink beneath the sea.

if there are gods, why is the world so full of pain & injustice?

i wish i was home.

love is poison. a sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same.

i must show no fear, no weakness, no doubt.

all sorts of people are calling themselves kings these days.

oh, to be sure, there is much we do not understand.
