A collection of Dragon age image edits and memes I made for a video I may or may not post.

Okay so I LOVE that Merril from DAO and DA2 are one in the same, but I wish there wasn't such a difference in personality and demeanor. You know? Because when I first played my dalish origin in DAO, I thought she seemed really stern and stuck up in a way, and it really annoyed me. Playing da2 in middleschool and early high-school, it took me like half a playthrough to realize it was the same Merril because she seemed to sweet and cute and meek. You get me?

So I'm writing the details for a rivalry between teen Warden and Merril, taking inspiration from both games to try and create a direct route for both character archetypes to work with a single Merril.

I know people change, and I kinda had the same Bitchy gifted kid to nervous autism demon personality pipeline (And I miss my bitch era everyday, it was so freeing to speak my mind all the time), but it just seems super far off from the DA2 Merril character we know and love.

I can attempt to chalk it up simply to the Warden having a pre-established rivalry with Merril before the events of DAO, but I really can't imagine Merril from DA2 being that cold- Except.. I sort of can, because my Warden was really toxic about things; and following the idea that Merril is autistic, and likely grew up with the Warden, I feel like she wouldn't mask as hard around her.. I'm working this problem out mid post, so I'm sorry if we've lost track. But yeah. That's the post.

I think instead of writing full on fanfiction, I'm going to write journal entries from my Wardens perspective and maybe the occasional scene.

I’d play DAO on the old ass PS3 that works when it wants to but nothing uploads to the keep so why bother, like not even achievements, at least those will upload from my PC :/ WTH EA?!

Rendering so no PC games, which is why I’ve been playing Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn. I tried to play Skyrim, but there’s sooo much time where NOTHING happens I was falling asleep.

i love couslands and the cousland origin but if i see ONE MORE FIC about alistair and cousland im gonna throw my computer out of the window

like

we get it she’s a noble who lost everything and has the potential to be queen blabla bla king and queen a lot of drama etc and i love reading about political intrigues at the court and everything! !!! i love cousland fics but i feel like theres almost zero content for the other wardens and it makes me sad bc at this point cousland x alistair kinda feels like the ‘canon’ ship opposed to the other wardens x alistair

(anyway i luv your cousland children take care of them its just me bbeing Salty)
