The Clockwork God tightens his "corset"

unfortunate that none of the ideas i have for Sil feature his face, but i am quite satisfied with this being my first time drawing him properly. I didnt try to make the spine prosthetic make sense or anything as my priorities was to get the material right and to just make it look cool.

Im interested in Sils rejection of the "flesh" by replacing it more and more with tech, both for himself and his followers. I also have the headcanon his arm was amputated from his injuries in the Ald Sotha tragedy (reason behind the scar), later causing him back problems from improperly fit dwemer prosthetics. I can never let this guy have a break so i also imagine he had some debilitating illness (eg. cancer) leading up to the Foul Murder, its the reason why he was so tempted to use the tools besides just being curious as Sil genuinely just wanted to survive, also why hes so desperate to replace his body with machinery.

also sorry for my increased absence as im very busy and exhausted with uni assignments, i will also be missing for a few weeks in June due to mandatory summer practice

oh and have in mind im not as knowledgeable about Sil as i have not played eso (likely never will) only watched a playthrough of the clockwork city dlc, havent read the truth in sequence either, so bear with me if i make very "contradictory" headcanons here

It's time for the first of the three art pieces I've got from Ariana for This Magic Cuts Deep. A moment of peace (well, as much peace as one can get when playing cards), no lyrium torment and no sour ale.

Obviously Dragon Age as a series has a few things fall distinctly into the genre of horror (especially the Blight, even the lighter tone Veilguard had overall didn't lessen how scary it actually is as a concept) but I've made it a point to really pay attention to the NPCs in the Gallows this playthrough and damn if DA2 doesn't have some solid psychological horror going on with the mage-templar stuff.

Especially if you're playing Hawke as a mage, the way it's repeatedly driven into the player in act 1 that Hawke could wake up in the Gallows because they're a poor refugee and also not every templar has a price, some really just love to make mages suffer (even though you never do get caught; I really wish there'd been an instance where Hawke had to break out of the Gallows like the Warden and Alistair breaking out of prison in DAO) and if you go to the Gallows and like... listen to the mage NPCs idle dialogue, look at the way some of them that are allowed to roam the courtyard are cowering, listen to the monotone voice of the Tranquil merchant standing beside Solivitus, the templars' remarks about the mages not even being people, it's just so incredibly fucked up that it baffles me how there's even a question of whether or not Anders was right. Even some of what he says in banter with your other companions about the Circle is genuinely insane (what do you mean you've been fortunate, you just told Sebastian you were assaulted by the templars at Kinloch??? You were fortunate that you escaped??).

Tranquility is so genuinely horrifying as a concept, too. Anders' entire recruitment quest being about his own lover being made Tranquil as punishment for the crime of just writing to him, Alain mentioning that Karras has been in his chambers and threatens to have him branded if he tells anyone, watching Alrik tell a girl that she'll do whatever he wants her to when he makes her Tranquil, that one woman in act 2 who Alrik made Tranquil before he died having a conversation with her distraught lover about how she belongs to Ser Alrik now, the fact that slowly over the course of the game there actually are more Tranquil in the Gallows; I feel like it's one of the darkest things I've seen in a non-horror RPG. You get taken away from your friends and family forever if you're born with magic, and if you fail the test you aren't prepared for that they randomly spring on you to see if you can resist a demon you're executed, and even if you successfully pass that, if you make one wrong move or even if the templars just don't like you, you get fucking lobotomized and have no agency over anything that is done to you ever again.

You mean to tell me that people played this game, saw this shit, and still thought the Circles were a valid solution akin to real life gun control? Thought that Anders overreacted and the system should have just been allowed to stay that way because mages are dangerous? Hello?? Nani??? The fuck??????
