My newest Rook, Vehris De Riva, antivan crow who is actually the daughter of my partner's inquisitor and his wife (my partner's oc and mine oc so no canon romance there). This girl is about 19, transfemme, and was co parented by the entire inquisition. Yeah I did in fact do this so she'd have extra horrible angst and trauma during DATV thanks for asking. Yeah she did spend a chunk of her childhood calling Varric her uncle and calling Solas hahren. (also in my own personal au where inquisition takes place more around the timespan of 4/5 years)

Being in the dragon age fandom for like 12+ years is like

Dragon Age 2 release week: this game fucking sucks, they ruined the lore and the companions are cringe

Dragon Age 2, 5 years after release: this game is fantastic albeit rushed, the companions are my favorite

Inquisition release week: this game fucking sucks, they ruined the lore with these new implications

Inquisition, 5 years after release: this game is fantastic, I love the lore implications

Veilguard release week: this game fucking sucks--

Me when Zevran is proud of being an elf and talks about his mother being Dalish in a fond way: This is so sweet, I love Zevran so much

Me when Zevran says “Too many of our kind think we deserve pity simply because we have failed to defend ourselves.”: Shut the fuck up Gaider

Solas ⚔ Maelgwn

What part of the timeline could this be? Magic is strange in the paths between the looking glasses. Timelines blur and branch and blend. To the unwitting wanderer, this could spell their undoing and be forever lost.

But perhaps...it is not so terrible a fate to find another wayward soul to be lost with, within.

RAHHHHHHH THE GREY WARDEN DIES HERE

[evilvarric666-archive]

What I love about Origins specifically is that all of the main characters are dead.

[evilvarric666-archive]

The Warden canonically dies if they are not recruited. Joining the Wardens severely shortens your lifespan, it is also considered a functional, spiritual, symbolic death to the point where recruitment is used as an alternative to the death penalty. Alistair & the Warden are both dead. Leliana is described (and self describes!) as having died while in Raleigh's dungeon, when she kills him in Leliana's song it is presented as her taking revenge for a person who no longer exists, she is "reborn" through the Chantry. Sten is dead in the eyes of his people & cannot return home due to the loss of his sword, and on top of that accepted a death penalty in exchange for the people he killed in Lothering. Zevran accepting the contract to kill the warden was a self-admitted suicide attempt, and if the Crows find him they'll kill him, so he is euphemistically "a dead man". Shale's previous self was destroyed physically, and they cannot remember her or being her. Wynne should be dead, but Faith is keeping her going (for now). Going to the surface is considered a spiritual death in Orzammarian culture, Oghren cut himself off from the Stone when he went with you. Morrigan isn't dead but she is pretty doomed. Even the dog is dying when you meet it. Everyone in that party camp is dead in some way. This is a ghost story.

it’s so crazy how isabela’s act 3 line is “just tell me if i have a chance with you hawke” if i was hawke i would not be able to respond to that with a calm “i’ve waited years for you”

[stonesense]

isabela: just tell me, hawke... if i have a chance with you

hawke: isabela.

isabela: what?

hawke: isabela. i have been in love with you for six years. what are you talking about. if you have a chance with me? has anyone else, ever, had a chance with me? i’ve waited years for you, hoping i had just the slightest chance. you must know that. you must know that?

isabela: ...

hawke: ...

isabela: six? maker, that’s embarrassing

hawke: i’m leaving

isabela: no, no, no—

Sebastian really out there killing Hawke with all the face holding despite the no kiss rule.

[apostacism]

the circle mage origin is so wild like you can prove yourself completely untrustworthy to any authority and duncan will be like "you know what? i like that. shows initiative. also blood magic isn't even that bad you're all pussies."

[apostacism]

#the duncan hustle is out of this world#love that urge to make the sketchiest recruiting choices thank you king <3#antisocial and criminally inclined? welcome aboard!#awakening is of course so beautiful for putting you in the driver's seat of assembling the worst squad in ferelden#duncan passed the torch who am I to let him down this is what he'd want (via @outeremissary)

i just choked on my tea you're so right busting a dude out of your own prison and handing him a cup of darkspawn blood like if you're so motivated apply some of that energy to the blight <3 is just honoring duncan's memory
