Fandom can say whatever but Veilguard’s singular sin is that it took away Mae Tilani’s beautiful curly hair.

Ship Tournament — Round #1 / Match 49 of 88

Maevaris/Thorold

"Power couple of Minrathous, absolutely flouting social convention."

"canon straight-up says their union was “universally recognized” as sincere and affectionate, even though they were never officially married, and people still refer to mae as his widow. i like that a lot. in tevinter, where everything is status and calculation and what use someone is to you, these two actually seem to have built something real"

"She spent a year taking revenge one by one on every person believed to be behind his death. Oh to have someone love me like that"

"the thing that really gets me is the fade scene. mae knows perfectly well the dream isn’t real and still doesn’t want to leave right away because thorold is there. that tells you everything. he’s the person her mind goes back to when it offers her something she actually wants. i don’t need a huge amount more than that to buy the ship, honestly. if a character’s grief is written that clearly, then the relationship mattered. a lot."

vs. Cullen/Josephine

"the game basically gives them this whole tiny accidental courtship through messengers. josephine wants to know his birthday, tries to figure out a coat he’d actually wear, sends him cookies, and keeps checking whether he really liked them; cullen acts like none of this is necessary and then immediately folds with the very quiet “tell josephine they’re fine, and i like them.” it's so SWEET. "he liked them? truly?" josie u DARLING"

"They’d actually make sense as partners. Their War Table stuff already shows the balance: Cullen is focused on defense and discipline, Josephine is the one pulling him toward roads, allies, accommodations, and the families left behind after Haven. He thinks like a commander, she thinks like someone trying to hold a whole organisation together without forgetting the people inside it. That’s a much stronger ship hook to me than simple opposites-attract. They’d keep each other from getting too narrow."

"the war table bit where cullen starts in on calibrating trebuchets again and josephine’s just like “again?” is enough for me. fond exasperation is a ship ingredient."

Which is the better ship?

Ship Tournament — Round #5 / Match 3 of 5

Josephine/Leliana

"These two already canonically have a solid friendship and are both willing to navigate the Game. Leliana is already protective of Josie if the inquisitor romances her. I think there’s an interesting dynamic that could develop in Leliana thinking that she isn’t good enough for Josie with her hardened persona in inquisition but Josie helping to soften her again anyway. I also think scenes in both their romances with the warden/inky could work well with each other. Leliana having to be straightforward about her intentions to Josephine (much like the dialogue line the warden has about staying up to write in their diary instead of picking up on Leliana’s hints) and of course the duel scene with Josephine’s fiancée!"

"They were friends (or more?) when they were young in Val Royeux, and partying wildly. They're still friends (or more???) in the Inquisition, though older and different. There are so many different ways to think of it: did one have a crush when they were young? Are they exes who get back together? Josie brings the young hopeful woman back out in Leliana, and it's cute."

vs. Maevaris/Thorold

"Power couple of Minrathous, absolutely flouting social convention."

"canon straight-up says their union was “universally recognized” as sincere and affectionate, even though they were never officially married, and people still refer to mae as his widow. i like that a lot. in tevinter, where everything is status and calculation and what use someone is to you, these two actually seem to have built something real"
