Battling the archdemon makes me angry at myself for ever picking up this stupid fantasy game, every single time.

Look, is it a little fucked that Anora is marrying her dead husband's half brother that he never really knew? Kinda. But I kind of love how their intelligence compliments one another. If I'm not gonna marry this widow myself (and I'm not, I'm in a love triangle between the bog witch and the religious nut job), then at least I can ensure that she gets a good man for her husband instead of some gross, nasty old man she and her council choose for the sake of political alliances.

Anora deserves a good life, from what I can tell. That's all I'm saying.

My favorite personality trait of Alistair's? Gossip King.

NOTHING BEATS A JET-2 HOLIDAY *cut to me experiencing intense secondhand embarrassment because my incredibly religious girlfriend is performing a 3 minute long solo that somehow has a musical accompaniment even though no one else in the camp can catch a tune let alone play one. My other girlfriend is watching from 50 feet away. We just boned. My undead grandma and gigantic, spree-killing grandpa are also there. So is the elf who tried to kill me exactly one time and now wants nothing more than to bounce on me like a pogo stick. Everyone one in this camp is horny. Horny for ME. Canonically, I have never bathed.*

Um... not to be insane, but I'd genuinely burn the world down for Leliana. Come over here bb gurl and let me buy you every ugly pair of shoes your stabby little heart desires 💋💋💋❤️

DAO is so unserious. Why is my undead grandma mage sweating literal rocks while she tells me to stop thinking with my dick?

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

Why did they have to go and give the only semi-redeemable male hairstyle DA:O to Alistair?

We still talkin' bout Inquisition these days, or is it mostly Veilguard now?

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

If you’re still doing the Dragon Age/Mass Effect song ask, then Cassandra (or course) and Leliana please! =)

Oh, its never a bad time for a music ask. Thank you ❤️

We’ll do them individually, and then as a couple.

Cassandra:

She's Enya’s music. Its sweeping. Its fully of emotion and romance, and it fully commands the space its being played in. Primarily, she is Only Time. The lyrics are about change and certainty—or lack thereof. Its Cass in a bottle.

Leliana:

Leliana is ABBA. ABBA’s music covers the whole range of human emotion, and it does it from such a markedly female perspective. Sure, there's a lot of cutesy pop music to be had there, but there's also story songs, ballads, breakup songs, songs about pure love and joy and the changes of life. If Leliana has a whole band’s discography etched into her brain, its this one’s. I feel like the story of her life is written in Fernando. Its about the loss of youth and innocence, and adoration for your comrades.

But I think when you find her at the beginning of Inquisiton, I think she's really got some The Night We Met vibes. Different artist, but its what I feel. Its mournful and filled with regret.

Together:

They've known each other for so long, by this point. They worked together for many of those years. They've loved and lost a lot of the same people. I can't help but think they know each other’s quirks down to the punctuation, and that's got to feel so good for two women who either stick to the shadows or live under the weight of the myths people make about them. Which is why this song feels like them to me:

Thank you! I really like doing these :)

For the dragon age/mass effect song ask: Josephine Montilyet!

LOVE it, thank you ❤️

Okay. When I Think Josephine, I think: boss bitch, overworked but reveling in it, time management on lock… and I therefore think of every female protagonist in a rom-com between 2000 and 2010.

THEREFORE, Josephine Montileyt gets the unsung hero of early 2000s heroines, KT Tunstall.

Her day-to-day song is Suddenly I See for its energy and general lyrics of awe at all that a person can be.

The song for her as a partner is Throw Me a Rope. The lyrics are about finding home and a center in your person, and the music is slow and gentle, which I think is a lot of what she needs.

Thank you for the ask!

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

Also, reblog this so I can see who y'all associate with my favs, please.

Send me an ask with the name of a Dragon Age or Mass Effect character and I’ll post my reply with a musical artist and song by that artist that fits their vibe, in my head.

OR

Send me a short fic to read (8,000 words or less) from these series, and as soon as I'm done reading I'll post a reply with an artist or song that I think fits their vibe.

What’s your least favorite city in Skyrim? Mine is Markarth. I get sad every time I have to go there.

For RP reasons, I always play Champions of the Just with Peter. He needs it for the personal growth. But I just did In Hushed Whispers for the first time in years, and oh my god, the way that plot line makes me love Leliana 100% more. That poor woman.

Someone find the Warden and tell them to come get their girl. She needs a nap and a cuddle.
