lavellan voice: [suffers in elvish]
lavellan with muscles!! lavellan who crops their hair and swears and snarls and refuses to be your dalish codex entry, lavellan who wields their greatsword and cleaves the heads from their enemies, lavellan bloodspattered, lavellan angry, lavellan not your pretty elven doll, your long-haired waifish beauty
adaar soft! adaar young, adaar awkward, adaar wanting so badly to wear flower crowns and pretty dresses but knowing there won't be anything in their size, adaar lonely. adaar knowing the only other qunari in the group looks down on them. adaar knowing bull recoils internally. adaar wanting, adaar never having, adaar caught between a culture they never knew and a culture with no space for horns and grey skin.
eventually one of these games i’m replaying WILL stick enough for me to make something out of it writing-wise. but since this one’s eaten pretty much all of my brain for the time being, you get screenshots instead of drawings this time.
luckily they’re good screenshots.
this playthrough is basically “small, aggressively Dalish mage is disapproved of by everyone and the only reason they don’t yell at him more is that he gets way too much shit done for anyone to just kick him out” and i’m loving it. having to play on potato settings though, computer might spontaneously combust otherwise.
still, this is fun. ingame he’s courting dorian, out of game i’m not 100% sure what i wanna do. i’ve got a vague idea but nothing concrete. whole lotta headcanons though. did fandom agree that Fenris’s tattoos are based on the Dirthamen vallaslin? or was the general consensus something else? help me out here, DA fandom
dorian called him cute and gave him a kiss, so he gets a smile in return

Ladies in Waiting: O hey, Inquisitor! What’s up, gurl! Your clothes are so fabulous--we will totally tell the empress how hot you are. Inquisitor: I made a fascinating discovery. An elven locket hidden in the empress’ vault! Ladies in Waiting: Wow, yo! That is so interesting! Let us get the Empress so she can discover you in the dungeons because you just admitted to breaking into a restricted area of the royal palace and stealing from the Empress’ private vault, fuckface! Inquisitor: Oh....shit. Didn’t think that one through. [To an Elven Inquisitor] Ladies in Waiting: Oh, and since you’re an elf, Inquisitor. Yeah. We’re definitely going to pin it on you if one more word comes out of your mouth. How do you feel about an elven purge?
So much story time...
Anyone else have these feels?
No? Just me then?
Okay...
