ima ask u abt the tinkling bronto!!!!!!!!

I am so glad you asked! And also very sorry for the delay in responding.  (I literally posted the thing and then ran an errand).   This is one of my favorite stories to tell because when “I” found out about it, I was amazed. 

If you haven’t read Nathaniel’s entry in World of Thedas, Vol. 2, I highly recommend it.  It really gives us a bit more insight into his personality and I love it a lot.  The Tinkling Bronto is just one story from his entry.  While Nathaniel was squired at Starkhaven with his mother’s cousin Ser Rodolphe, he attended the Grand Tourney at the behest of the Knight, and he participated in the Grand Melee, which is essentially just a big fight where the last man standing wins.  Nathaniel doesn’t win, but he performs well enough to impress Rodolphe, who gives him some coin to spend.  Taking his coin, he goes perousing all of the vendors set up at the Tourney and finds this merchant who is selling music boxes, and one of them is shaped like a bronto. He buys it.  Then he goes on to eat a bunch of pie and drink a bunch of ale with his money.  

Later, after he is completely high on sugar and drunk, he stumbles out onto the archery range, nearly getting shot by one of the competitors, an elf whose name is either Avina or Erina (he can’t actually remember because drunk).  She scolds him for nearly getting himself killed, and he responds by questioning her ability as an archer, stating that he is certainly better because she both missed her target AND nearly killed a man.  He challenges her, drunk, and holding the tinkling bronto music box between his teeth. He doesn’t best her, but he matches her, and they spend the evening together. 

And thus concludes the tale of the tinkling bronto.  It is completely canon, and it makes me immensely happy.

what are your thots on all the dragon age origins companions 💖💖💘💘💖

edit: it came to my attention way late in the game that you asked about origins, not inquisition but please enjoy my dumbassery regardless

cassandra: amazing mash up of a badass warrior woman (WHO NOT EVEN A DRAGON CAN DENT) who is also wholesome and soft and utterly ashamed of her love of wanting to be a delicate graceful lovable princess. she has strong principles which I love but she is also willing to change her views based on new information regardless of whether she is comfortable with it or not which I love. pragmatic as shit which is a trait I always wished I had so I adore her. 

varric: ultimate bro who is as loyal and chill and reasonable as his chest hair is vast. great conversationalist. doesn’t fear what he doesn’t understand, instead seeks to understand it better with the endearing attitude of, “well, SHIT”. 

solas: deeply tragic, multi-faceted, soothing, compassionate, very interesting (like lets be real: you could ask solas about something inconsequentional like fuckin toenails and he’d have something interesting to say about it) and mostly wise motherfucker whose hypocrisy and nearsightedness is only acceptable because its driven by guilt and a misguided sense of responsibility for the defenseless borne out of compassion and the principle of all beings having the inherent right to exist freely. if we all put ourselves in this bitch’s shoes we’d feel the same struggle he does. 

vivienne: she is the terrifyingly unshakable, cold, old-fashioned, detached but ultimately fiercely loving upper-middle class somewhat materialistic mother who I’ve always had and always loved and admired. she also has the best fucking mage outfit I’ve ever seen. 

sera: infuriating to talk to sometimes due to internalized self-hatred and a penchant for fucking childish nonsense but ultimately she is hilarious, contagiously fun, and is always endearing for looking out for the underdogs and for never taking herself too seriously. I used to hate sera but now I fuckin love her. 

blackwall: sweet, reasonable, hilarious barn-dwelling beard-man who made mistakes and perhaps, given his actions, did not deserve redemption but ultimately proved his worth but taking the gift of forgiveness not just as an absolution for past mistakes but used it as an absolute force of compassion and spread it around with the sincere desire to do some good to those who, for whatever reason, had a bad start but who have the capability for bringing so much good to the world. love blackwall. he’s deeply relatable and a good example of what greatness can be done with forgiveness and compassion. 

cole: fascinating, invaluable, sweet baby boy. though I love him more for how insightful he is into people’s behaviour and the important questions compassion raises and how it can be used rather than just for how sweet he is. also love how plays the long con just to get people to feel good about themselves. 

iron bull: chill as fuck, hilariously opposed to anything out of the muscled, protein-gained, fist-fighting norm. love his whole shtick of loving and valuing others for their individuality given he’s legit been brainwashed by his people’s culture into thinking that deviation from the collective norm is wrong. ultimate shredded dad. 

dorian: love, love, love, love him. self-assuredness and exaggerated pomposity to combat self-doubt and shame and a mild drinking problem (can relate), all the while carrying such a difficult contradiction on his shoulders like a rock star. clearly loving and deeply loyal to his friends and profoundly intelligent and insightful in his field. the best thing about dorian is his potential for bringing about change via compassion. like I love dorian because he never takes anything seriously which is reassuring in a crisis, but ultimately he is never light-hearted about the important things. he’s serious and caring on the things that matter and to hell with the rest.
