#rook thoughts

[foresttt-png]

When a mitski song drags you from the recesses of sleep to half awake thumb out a rookanis game finale comic.

Look I really want the fade prison to mess with Rook bad. What if despite getting out, despite having finally admitting their feelings for each other, despite defeating elgar’nan… Rook still doesn’t believe its all real. And they don’t believe Lucanis is actually alive. That the moment its all over and solas is gone. That he’ll vanish too.

Word vomit time:

So I had a Davrinkisser, a rogue Crow, but I wasn't connecting with her at all. The playthrough felt like a slog, and I had barely just made it past rescuing Lucanis. I hated it so much I rebooted my canon Rook, a Veil Ranger, just to have something to enjoy.

Anyway, say hi to Miri Thorne, my new Davrinkisser, a Warden warrior and my first same-faction romance.

First: I don't know how to phrase the difference between rogue and warrior on underdog except, "wow". Even at extremely low levels at the beginning of the journey, warrior already feels like I'm doing a lot of damage, and that's frustrating, because I feel like there should be a trade off (as a rogue I felt light and quick but squish and didn't pack a punch till later). Is there? What am I missing? I *loved* playing Veil Ranger on a lower difficulty, but I was also concentrating mostly on story. I've been very careful to level up my Veil Ranger on this reboot and conscious about what skills I pick and it's still been very hard with some bosses - notably right now, The Formless Asshole. What advantages am I missing with Rogue?

Second, part of the reason I originally picked Crow was everyone posting about the relationship with Viago, and...I just didn't see it. I actually thought there was going to be more than the letter and a few comments from Teia. It pissed me off because people were comparing him with Strife and predictably looking at Strife unfavorably.

Anyway, as far as "daddy" stuff a couple comments I've noticed while on my Nevekisser run:

(say hello, Lia)

Everyone treats Mourn Watch baby like they were raised in the Necropolis, but twice now there have been dialogue bits from Lia where she's mentioned seemingly being out on the streets of Nevarra until her magic manifested, at which point the Mortalitasi took her back in.

It's funny to see the fanart of Vorgoth playing daddy, but I kinda wanna hear about the scrappy orphan who grew up most probably being treated oddly even by their fellow Nevarrans for how they were found, and how that might have shaped them into the disruptive Rook they turn into.

I have no way to end this, except a funny shot I pulled from my recordings of canon Rook Ashallen looking at Davrin like heeyyyy, and Lucanis in the background like "girl are you fucking kidding me"

lucanis is perfect for fat rooks. so is davrin. they love fat women. but you know who also loves fat women, and god does he ever deserve some soft plush since he's only paired with the skinniest bones, but. emmrich. those long, slim fingers sinking into abundant and soft flesh. give that long lean pole of a man a heavy, wide, soft rook to bury himself into.

that is a hell of a lot better.

I’ve seen a lot of “sensitive Zevlor coming too quickly” and I raise you long-lasting Zevlor. The man is so stressed and pent up, he’s probably jacking off all the time when he has a moment to himself. So when he finally does sleep with someone, it’s definitely not fleeting. He is the damn energizer bunny. He lasts so long his partner has climaxed at least 5 times before him.

love me some confident Zevlor. an absolute powerhouse of a fighter. a Commander. a Hellrider. with that level of badass under his belt the man probably had people making big googoo heart eyes at him every damn day. Zevlor absolutely knew he could get it and I love that for him sm
