A Stop on the Long Road

Hello, I'm Jasmine. Main is min-min-minnie. This is a place for me to unload all of my love for Dragon Age. c:

[elvish-root]

I love DA2. The shitty graphics. The horrible gameplay. The story so unavoidably devastating and beautiful and horrible. Everyone hates each other. Everyone loves each other. You’re constantly filling the streets with bodies and there are no ramifications for this. There are ramifications for everything you say and do. Everyone’s bisexual. There’s a dragon in the mine. You lose everyone and everything you love and care about and it’s inevitable. Isabela gets an STI at one point. Merrill is a blood mage. You go from rags to riches to going on the run. You have a dog. You set your friend up on a date with the guy she likes. You hunt down a serial killer who takes the last member of your family away. Your doctor friend is possessed and loves cats and commits domestic terrorism. You have no control. You control everything.

Cassandra fights a dragon by herself for 20 mins and comes out with full health and full guard. I’m in love with her.

Dragon age origins is like…. You’re nineteen, new in town, and it’s your second day at pizza hut. You don’t even know how to work the register yet and you just watched your manager get carted off by the paramedics. You have no contact info for him, his next of kin, or corporate. The only other employee is the guy who’s been here for two weeks and is a bit of a doofus, and neither of you really know what you’re supposed to do now. You both desperately need this job though, and the doofus at least has a drivers license and *kiiinda* knows how to use the oven so you just. Shrug, and start taking orders and making pizzas and praying to god that the bills are on autopay.

And weirdly enough you’re really good at this: making pizzas and dealing with shitty customers and breaking up fights in the parking lot and pretending to be Duncan’s cousin on the phone so the utility company doesn’t cut off the power. But running a store is a lot of work for two dumb kids, so slowly you start accumulating a bunch of competent weirdos to help out, like the nun who left her convent because god told her to help you make pizzas, and the elderly school teacher who just survived a mass shooting, and the guy the papa johns down the street hired to run you over. And really there’s no way any of this should be working as well as it is - you’re absolutely committing fraud of some kind here - but you’ve managed to dodge the landlord every time he’s stopped by, and the health inspector never shows up to tell you to stop letting your dog hang out behind the counter and you’re all still kinda looking at each other and asking ‘are we allowed to just do this?’ before shrugging again and continuing to make pizzas, until somehow, through a series of unlikely technicalities, your doofus coworker ends up on the ballot for governor.

And after like five months of this the regional manager wanders in out of nowhere and you’re sure he’s about to chew your ass out for this mess, but it turns out he’s pretty chill and honestly kind of impressed with how you managed to keep the place up and running all on your own. So now you’re all thinking ‘thank god, there’s someone here who actually knows how to run a Pizza Hut’ only for him to get hit by a car two days later on the night of the Super Bowl.

what makes me feel crazy about neve is that as a human mage of such wit and style and sheer talent—a less academically focused mage than emmrich or bellara and yet capable of some of the greatest feats of raw power in the game, yes i’m still not over her ice dome from the intro holding off shots from the archon’s palace—she absolutely could have gotten out of dock town. maybe she’d never have the life or titles of someone born altus, but she could have made it to somewhere comfortable. she’s the one person in dock town with a ticket out, with the unexpected gift that every tevinter non-mage dreams their children will have... and yet she’s still right there working late into the night in one lonely, run-down apartment after another, because these people need her. because nobody else of her ability has ever stayed for them. she tells herself every day that it’s probably a doomed fight, trying not to get her hopes up and her heart hurt, and she still stays!! i wonder if some people there resent her for having that chance and not taking it. she talks about having cut ties with at least part of her family. do they resent her for not taking the chance (and letting them share in the spoils)?

My top 5 disapprovals to get from dai

5. Getting the "cassandra greatly disaproves" when you free the mages to then hear her say "I don't disaprove" 4. Asking Solas what would he know about Court Intrigue if he never was in Court 3. When you tell Varric Orsino turning into a monster made no sense 2. When you tell Iron Bull he should talk about his feelings instead of getting hit by a stick 1. When you tell high approval Solas "im not special every person is complex dude"
