so the grey wardens' reputation has to be a witcher kind of deal, right? you want them around when the darkspawn show up, but they make you uneasy. you can tell they're different somehow, that something's wrong with them even if you can't quite put your finger on what. and they're not exactly the cheeriest folks around either, are they? haunted eyes and grim smiles. why are they here? is it the darkspawn whose trail they're on or is it the other way around? the two are never far apart.

So horny for grey wardens like the concept of grey wardens. My brain is collapsing in on itself like a dying star.

You drink poison to fight poison you do what needs to be done and you aren't even remembered for it. Your sacrifice means nothing and it means everything. Grey Wardens inspire you and make you better than you are and becoming one is literally a death sentence. An order for murderers, repentant and not, and society's unwanted, the people who never had a chance and the people who had a chance and wasted it. It can be punishment or liberation, a prison or a way out of one. I'm going to be ill.

the thing about anders is he has literally everything except a writer that loves him. he is so compelling and interesting and has a lot of lore-compliant potential that can easily slot into any dragon age narrative seamlessly. but because the writers (and, truly, the world itself) loathes him, he can’t

[bitronic]

anders like "i need ingredients for a . potion. that will split me and justice from each other. even though i said it was impossible before without me dying. forget about that i lied. will you help me find the ingredients. ok thanks the first one i need is nitroglycerin"

#literally he’s so suspicious with it idk how I didn’t clock it my first play through#maybe cause I was romancing him and any time he said anything I was like “okay. yay ❤️’’ (via @cranberrybanjo)

I kinda like whatever the hell Morrigan and Alistair have going on. They should fuck once and then be really weird about it for the rest of their lives

they're insufferable together I love it

I scoured the depths of the skyrimkinkmeme to find a very interesting (mostly gen) fanfic I read years ago that's not uploaded anywhere else 😭

It's a Vilkas/F!DB story called Daughter of the Reach, if anyone else wants to read it. It's about a Forsworn reachwoman finding out she's the dragonborn and getting into all sorts of situations because of cultural differences with Nords.

Varric is not an option in the poll because I feel like it would be an obvious and huge sweep. I’m mostly curious to see how much love there is for these characters because (for the most part) they’re not the fan favourites!
