#davrin is likely to join

[flowersforthemachines]

this was made just for me

maybe writing 3 people in an undefined type of relationship getting drunk together again could be the next thing that keeps me together

So many people complain about how Rook doesn't suffer racism in the game (for some reason) but have we thought that maybe the reason why is because this is the first companion group that would Just Kill A Racist

WIP

I don't know when I will be able to finish this but here my rough draft for Davrin's week (late) Day 1 💕💕

I'll post it correctly when it is done. Wanted to contribute, even if late, when I saw everyone putting their energy and mind in their work 💕 As a thanks for this community and all of your amazing contributions and artwork. It helps me find some peace during breaks / after work !!

love when a companion’s themes & conflicts dovetail with my character’s perfectly so that in my head a conversation can be about a bunch of things it for sure isn’t about

[vaguely-concerned]

the scene where you talk to davrin in his room while he whittles tiny models of monsters (while assan watches with rapt attention <3 there is nothing about this whole setup, man or griffon, that isn't adorable) when your rook IS one of the dainty little academic mage types he so besmirches and you consistently pick the purple options through the conversation -- I am SCREECHING the covert jock/nerd war rages on between clenched teeth and forced jollity, they are doing this on purpose, bioware really have given me this gift all nicely wrapped and lovingly crafted! rook is so fucking bitchy and passive aggressive in these purple options (and once or twice davrin doesn't seem to realize it/takes what they say at face value); it's not very nice of them but it is hilarious. also I must say that hearing these two just relentlessly neg each other with palpable tension of. SOME kind thick in the air* for five minutes straight and then walking away and seeing the 'davrin approves' pop up at the end gets close to the otherwise unapproachable gaming high that is having a tense standoff with sten in origins and seeing +7 affection as you leave. davrin clearly is going 'good talk man nice to see you stand up for yourself more, I respect the roast game' while my rook walks away with a forced smile and clenched fists like 'okay so that wasn't very mature of me I'll admit it but god why is this guy such an asshole'

I cannot imagine how this conversation must play out with a character more on davrin's wavelength because for my setup here this was *chef's kiss* perfect. ideal. I'm so glad this dynamic exists it's one of the funniest and most characterization-enriching things that could have happened to me

*there's some insanity going on here where like... I don't think either of them like want to fuck, they're not actually attracted to each other, but they both would fuck each other in a 'go fuck yourself'/'fuck me yourself you coward'/'fine I will see if I don't!!!!'/'oh yeah??? do it then!!!!!' kind of way. the vibes are indescribable and unhinged on both of their parts.

I Know I KNOW I’VE BEEN ULTRA SLOW (unplanned but if I rush now I won’t have to later.)

Gift for the dash.

I know I said "How are people already writing fanfic" but like... now I'm people...

re: the whole rook not being in the lighthouse book club thing

my headcanon for Phryne is that she's actually banned from book club, because the one time she did attend, she spent the whole meeting in Emmrich's lap (despite there being like three chairs she could've sat in instead) and Emmrich honest to god could not contribute anything meaningful to the discussion.

and also she didn't read the book. so that probably didn't help.

[gingervitus]

Hello. Hi. I am so sorry, but I'm obsessed with her.

Silvia was my second actually completed playthrough, and I forgot what a little gremlin she is.

Gremlin w a heart of gold tho.

[andragoras-in-vanity]

im distraught, my rook has elgar'nans vallaslin.....

[flowersforthemachines]

one indisputable piece of evidence that Bellara is my favourite veilguard character is that I gave her the highest badge of honour: made her a grey warden

[ayrennaranaaldmeri]

Weisshaupt mission definitively proving that da is at its sexiest when it's wardens and yet here I am feeling an unbearable amount of salt because we walk through a FUCKING WARDEN LIBRARY and they could've put in a fucking NOTE about the HERO OF FUCKING FERELDEN IN THERE. SO GLAD THE FUCKING JOINING CHALICE WAS RECOVERED FROM FUCKING OSTAGAR THOUGH.

[invinciblerodent]

so there's this Grey Warden............................

(bonus Rook reaction under the cut)

I'm pretty sure for a moment there Ver not only forgot her own name, all that was in her head (besides "griffon! a living griffon! a live baby griffon! holy shit!!!!!!) was a deafening screech of the opening chords to Careless Whisper.

like the last shred of decorum that she's clinging to with white-knuckled fists is the only thing that's preventing her from asking him to repeat himself at least 3 more times: once to actually get what he said in the first place, and twice more just to listen to him talk.

[thedragonagelesbian]

I should do more with ivenci & raas.... that could give me something very fun to work with post-game dismantling the crows............

[fadejumper]

I just finished Last Flight and I am SOBBING. Spoilers ahead for any who don’t want them (honestly not saying much you don’t already know from the start of the book though)

It really is something else reading a book where you know from the start so many of the characters have to die — you know who will be the one to kill the archdemon, you know all the griffons die out (well, almost all of them), and you know countless Wardens will die to the Fourth Blight or their Calling afterwards. There’s just so much tragedy, but at the same time you know they’ll succeed in the end, and you know there will be hope for griffons in the future. Isseya’s story is so tragic with how much she had to sacrifice (herself and the griffons), but also just how instrumental she was in defeating the blight, and how she managed to save some griffons in the end. I loved the perspective from the present day, too, and I really hope Valya, Caronel, and/or Reimas show up in Veilguard (even if it’s just a mention in the codex or something)!

Also, I’m now in total awe that our Hero of Ferelden and party were able to beat the archdemon in Denerim. So many fewer forces, no griffons, and they somehow did it in less than a year! At this rate the Sixth Blight will last a few seconds before someone swoops in (hopefully on a griffon!) and kills the archdemon…

[songvs]

nothing worse then first playthrough weisshaupt and being afraid that i’d lose davrin early on because origins gave me the forbidden knowledge of archdemons death possible by a wardens hand
