doing a faux romance with morrigan by interpreting her friendship route with an fwarden as romantic hits so hard that attempting to do her romance as an mwarden left me painfully disappointed because the actual romance was so dissatisfying.

#MORRIGAN. though ngl i like doing her platonic route as an fwarden waaay more than romancing her. so making her bi might not satisfy me #cass would also be really fun in a repressed way.#and meredith as a lesbian is such an interesting hc that really enhances her character imo

#i mean all of them if possible #but it's between seb and loghain for me #loghain because i forget it isn't just canon that he was in love with cailan #and sebastian because i think him being bi and repressing it would add a lot to his character #idrc about alistair or blackwall but i would like to romance them for variety ig so them being bi would be an improvement

In the Free Marches, the chicest thing a gay noble can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too Ferelden. Staying closeted is too Orlesian. But this method merges rural freedom with the glamour of The Game, and it weeds out the northerners who don't get it. I call it the Tethras method.

Mary Trevelyan does this.

You clearly don't go here or to Marcher history and signalling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Good day.

the thing that bewilders me about a lot of fantasy readers is that they read about settings and plots featuring imperialism, war, and slavery and then call the inclusion of violence, abuse, and sexual exploitation "edgy" and "gratuitous" and it's like what did you think was happening. why were you under the impression that you were going to get a cozy story about fascism or something. far be it from me to criticize anyone for not wanting to read about torture in their spare time, and there are certainly cases where heavy subjects are poorly executed, but is it not equally insulting to sanitize them for a feel-good adventure.. like no one put a gun to your head and forced you to give your fantasy novel an enslaved protagonist. sometimes writing is supposed to make you feel bad

#and ngl even if sometimes things DO edge into being gratuitous i still find it less offensive than what's produced #by someone trying really hard to sand the 'ugly' parts off of war or imperialism etc

#because i'm such a contrarian obvi playing an evil violence run means i actually make a sweetiepie character for once

still can't stop thinking about the fact that they have demigenders in tevinter but if you're in ferelden you're still using medieval euphemisms for being gay. there are some extremely funny situations to put several characters in

kirkwallguy

sitcom situation where marcus has to help out the shadow dragons and vaguely mentions he's Married and has A Partner because he doesn't want it to become a thing . but because people suddenly got cool with that in tevinter recently everyone just assumes the partner he conveniently never genders is nonbinary. then they meet anders and are like yeah sure i see it, which eventually leads to everyone getting mad at marcus for misgendering him

loopofrosewood

#does not help that marcus sometimes affectionately calls anders wife as a joke . THAT one even #got varric to pause before attempting a tentative they once or twice #they never figure out marcus is trans. everyone does their trans backstory loredump on him and he has 0 emotional response #marcus: anders made a beeline for the cats the second he got here. he's a man who knows what he wants. #shadow dragon: THEY. theyre a PERSON who knows what they want. god you have so much to learn cisgender hawke.

#you have so much to learn cisgender hawke...

this specific segment from the sasuke gay pride fic is basically what i'm trying to capture whenever i talk about marcus hanging out with veilguard characters.

#where's my cisgender hawke post

templar hawke fic is annoying me. what if i did a little pride month project where i finally write anders finding out marcus is trans

#i want to post more fic... i think ripping the plaster off + writing something vulnerable and emotional would be good #im thinking like a shortish multi-chapter fic. 40k tops.#it would be from anders' pov which is fun because i don't do that often

Y know the poll about fighting the dao companions? Can we get one for the rest of the games? I'd wanna see what others would fight! ❤️

If you had to fight against one of the Awakening companions, who would you pick?

Anders

Justice

Nathaniel

Oghren

Sigrun

Velanna

#i feel like if i started crying justice would stop hurting me and then we'd go and make daisy chains

also as much as i like the "fuck it throw everything away and start again" approach to veilguard rewrites, i think it's really fun to try and twist what already exists into something good and interesting. so if i actually seriously wanted to rewrite veilguard, i would probably keep the veil jumpers and the shadow dragons even though they're kind of stupid.

kirkwallguy

found an old post where i said the shadow dragons were my favourite faction and thought "well that can't be true i'm always complaining about the shadow dragons". but the longer i think about it, the more i realise that by process of elimination i really do hate them the least.

kirkwallguy

veilguard factions fall into three categories for me, which are:

this could've been interesting in a better game (wardens, crows, shadow dragons)

this would need to be completely overhauled but the basic concept of the faction could be fun (veil jumpers, mourn watch)

this one is also here (lords of fortune)

#i think the wardens are pretty inoffensive compared to the crows and sd but i find then annoying and watered down and i hate antoine so much
