Thinking about the Inquisitor and the sacrifice of their body time and time again.

The explosion of the orb forever marking them, changing them. Being forced in and out of the Fade physically. Solas grabbing the Inquisitor's hand by force to direct the power. The Mages or Templars channeling their power into and through their body (the Mark) to close the breach, the Anchor physically overcoming their body, slowly killing them, losing a part of their body.

This loss of bodily autonomy is so fascinating and so sad to me.

Their body literally becomes the battlefield and while they may be treated as a figure of divine will, what they actually experience is much closer to being sacrificed to sustain the world.

It makes me think of Solas who sacrificed his spirit self to take on a body - a body and mind used as a weapon. His body altered with the veil going up and then sacrificed once again to keep it up.

Both of them lose the same thing in different ways. The Inquisitor has it taken from them, their body and agency eroded by necessity and expectation. Solas gives it up, piece by piece, until there is no clear line between who he was and what he must become. Both of them, with their bodies, become a symbol of how the world is held together. And in the end, neither of them is allowed to remain whole.

Davrin’s gentle eyes matches his hobby of choice (whittling) bc gentleness is required to keep from splintering the wood and then to add detail to the figures that he makes… and just his overall gentle mindset for why he’s making a monster bestiary/codex (so that other people don’t get killed because these creatures are dangerous, you should engage with them with caution) and just he is so gentle and so thoughtful and yes, clan life wasn’t for him but he still thinks of them and thinks highly of his people and wants to protect them, and he still pays attention to nature and can see when something is wrong with it; Davrin who says he’ll open shop with Neve, davrin who has been collecting info on monsters and creatures for years enough to have a book that can be published, davrin who grieves and mourns his friends very obviously, davrin who knows dwarven to greet the grey wardens’s partners on the deep roads, davrin who was in trusted with the griffons, not just because he was supposed to be the bodyguard but because remi and lancet saw his potential and acknowledged it — and he’s not just the bodyguard but the safe guard and keeper of their future and a the father of one (Assan), he thinks highly and references his family both biological and found, he remembers fondly riding on aravels and being around the campfire — he’s the one with the heart of a Halla too!!

So yes,

Davrin.

Rook: Did you have to stab him?

Lucanis: You weren’t there. You didn’t hear what he said to me.

Rook: What did he say?

Lucanis: “What are you going to do, stab me?”

Davrin: That’s fair-

Dragon Age quotes that altered my brain chemistry:

"Like dogs, Shianni."

"What has magic touched that it doesn't spoil?"

"All I wanted was to be happy... just for a little while. Forgive me."

"I get to see Bethany again. And your father."

“Why don't they just drown us as infants? Why wait, why give us the illusion of hope?"

"Beg that I succeed, for I have seen the throne of the gods and it was empty!"

"This is all pretend to you, some future you hope will never exist. I suffered. The whole world suffered! It was real."

"But what was the first thing you did when your precious heir refused to play pretend for the rest of his life? You tried to change me."

"It always had a soul. The question is the answer."

"There is nothing like a Warden. And you are nothing like a warden."

"Where's Hawke?"

"Andraste preserve me, I must send you to him.”

"Take moments of happiness where you find them. The world will take the rest."

"For whatever it's worth, thanks for the castle." "For whatever it's worth, you used it well."

red for revenge

[vollzeitherz-deactivated2026012]

as you get older, you start realizing that you are not always right and there’s a lot of things you could have handled better and many situations where you could have been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.
