|  XI. Justice  |

A tarot card cm featuring Anders for one of my P/atrons. I tried to do him as much justice as…. oh you know. Next time I have to include Mr. pounce-a-lot as well!

And I want to

Fill your sleep and haunt you

To see the mess you've made

You've made

And I want you

And all my dreams are no use

When I am wide awake

And I want to

Believe I haven't lost you

It's driving me insane

Insane

Some more out-of-context Dragon Age 2 quotes to brighten your day

[engine-oil-or-strawberry-filling]

Kicking off Dragon Age Kiss Week again with Morrigan and little Kieran.

The one from last year keeps popping up in my notifications a year later and I gotta say, I'm glad so many people love Momrigan, too.

Based on the "Venus and Amor" statue by Reinhold Begas!

maybe the real dao and da2 remaster was the friends we made along the way

[transscr0ogetruther]

When I played origins for the first time as a lad I didn’t understand what was going on at any point so I made Alistair king even though he didn’t want to be because I thought you had to. And then I was like well the least I can do is let him kill himself cause thats the only way hes getting out of this. So I let him kill the archdemon

bravely . i think aveline and isabela should primarily be fighting over who gets to do violence and against whom. and what actually counts as violence . instead of what being good at woman is like

[ikarons]

like. aveline becomes captain of the guard after having previously been a soldier married to a templar. her Life essentially is defined by sanctioned, culturally noble and respected violence against those perceived as Other, Deserving by the state she serves. child bride to pirate pipeline isabela (who is on the run because she took on her powerful boss to free slaves he would have profited from the sale of) has been the Other against whom it is Acceptable To Commit Violence (but who is not legally or morally permitted to retaliate) her whole life, and i think this has made her incredibly protective of her right to engage in violence of her own. to me this has always kind of been the heart of their conflict— ideas about who is respectable, who is Allowed, who gets to define what that even means. especially with the context that As captain of the guard, aveline quite actively reinforces her institution’s right to enact violence & the Taboo against the disenfranchised returning it; her guardsman sexually assaults an elven girl, and she not only protects him, but literally (accidentally.) starts a war over her right to prosecute the girl’s brothers for killing him in retaliation when She failed to deliver appropriate justice. ISABELA WAS SOLD AS A CHILD BRIDE. it’s such a gimme. that’s like the main thing that differentiates them and the main difference in their interests. literally how is this not the main thing they’re clashing about?

I believe Varric Tethras to be red-green color-blind because Anders is Not Blonde

[largemandrill]

Normal vision on the left, Deuteranomaly (a form of red/green color blindness) on the right.

If they look the same to you uuuhhhh idk this might help

[bleedthebeat]

like if you read and pay attention to any of dragon age’s lore, from the games and books and other supplemental materials, you will notice plot holes, because the series constantly contradicts itself, rewrites its own lore, retcons characters’ stories, redefines terminology, and so forth. there are some cases where it can be explained watsonianly by way of varying in-universe sources, but if these sources are cross-referenced it often still does not make sense. with gaider leaving during veilguard’s development and the rest of the mess around it this is more emphasized in that game but it has been present in every game. because the series is inconsistent and bioware can’t commit to the choices they make. dragon age is literally bad is the thing. like it can be good when it’s good but underneath the good it’s still mostly bad. why is there tuesday in thedas

breaking the things you love most isn't restricted to mages. or is it?
