Merry Christmas to @fauxfires!

I commissioned a picture from @queen-schadenfreude for the holidays. It’s *meant* to be your Leo Hawke and Anders... although I was working off of what might have been an old/out of date faceclaim for Leo.  >_>;; At any rate I hope your day is being as cozy and lovely as Anders’ here!

aveline 3, carver 5 and, since you said you were doing your first exiled prince playthrough a short while ago, sebastian 1?

5. How did Leandra and/or Bethany’s death affect your Hawke’s relationship with Carver?

The magic that’s always been the family secret is now just Hawke’s. It’s not a family of apostates anymore, it’s just his mother and his baby brother taking risks that they shouldn’t have to, just because of him. And he’s trying to step up as the head of the family here, trying to be the responsible one, but sometimes he thinks the most responsible thing he could do for his family would be to leave. (Grew up looking after the twins on a regular basis, that’s always been his job as the big brother, and he takes his eyes off Bethany for a second -)

And meanwhile Carver feels useless after Bethany’s death. His life has always revolved around protecting his family, it’s why his father taught him to fight, it’s why he’s spent his whole life avoiding attention. But he couldn’t protect his father, he couldn’t protect Bethany, Hawke seems bound and determined to get himself thrown into the Circle with the way he’s drawing attention to himself, so what was the point? And Hawke’s latched onto the first apostates he meets, the most dangerous people he could possibly be associating with, and it’s obvious to Carver that that’s about Bethany. Hawke and Bethany always had each other to rely on, and there are things Carver can’t help with, and now Hawke’s looking for that same kind of support from blood mages and abominations instead. They’re right outside one of the worst Circles in Thedas, desperately trying to raise bribe money, Carver’s life revolves around protecting Hawke more than ever before, and Hawke doesn’t seem to need or want his help.

And after Leandra, they’re the only family they’ve got left.

3. How did your Hawke respond to Aveline’s position as Guard-Captain? Did they respect her authority?

He was happy for her, and for himself. She’s always overlooked his violations of the law (like… existing…), warns him about templar activity, and throws work his way. Also great to see a Fereldan getting ahead.

But I’m not sure respecting her authority is the way to put it. Like with pretty much all his companions, he has maybe too much faith in her. Fleeing the Blight together, him murdering her husband, selling a year of his life to get them into the city, has resulted in a very strange loyalty - she’s basically an honorary member of the family - but if circumstances had been different, she would have turned him over to the templars without a second thought. He’s kind of thrown whenever something comes up to remind him of that. And it does come up. Her unshakeable loyalty to him doesn’t affect how the guard treats people exactly like him.

1. How did your Hawke respond to Sebastian’s devout faith? Were they Andrastian themselves?

Hawke’s sort of a non-practicing Andrastian. Grew up only visiting the chantry on major holidays and then only to avoid standing out, doesn’t have a great grasp on Chantry history or Andraste’s teachings, figures he’ll probably meet the Maker when he dies but if that doesn’t happen then he won’t be too broken up about it. Whatever mystical sensibilities he has, they revolve around the Fade, not the Maker. lbr he’d much rather worship Justice.

But Bethany had faith. Anders does, too. If Sebastian’s faith helps him, Hawke’s happy for him.

But there’s faith in the Maker or Andraste, and then there’s blind faith in the Chantry, and the latter is dangerous for Hawke on a personal level. Thoughtlessly repeating the Chantry party line as if it has all the answers anyone will ever need, brushing off any questions that don’t fit - massive flashing warning sign. Sebastian is a client, a potentially very valuable one, and Hawke is friendly and polite by default, but that’s as far as their relationship goes.

i JUST got home from walking the dogs and like, same here in SE london!!!!!!!! 

I KNOW RIGHT??? I’m not looking forward to going out to work this evening with this weird sky. Let’s hope the trains to Charing Cross don’t get cancelled! 

@andrew-blackthorn replied to your photo: OK, so you can’t really see it so well in the...

Aberystwyth looked the same this morning. Apparently something to do with dust from the Sahara 

Yeah, I think you’re right -- I read it’s a combination of dust from the Sahara combined with Hurricane Ophelia approaching from the US (although it should only be a storm when it hits us). 

I’m in London, but I’ve heard the sky's been the same in Bristol and Shropshire too. We had this really weird red sun at lunchtime though! And now the sky has literally gone the same colour as a pint of beer, LMAO
