it's been days since i finished it, and i'm still thinking about the way that a crow rook who romanced lucanis fares in his "a murder of crows" quest.

how, if they get hit during the boss fight, viago shouts at them to stop embarrassing house de riva, but rook immediately knows that he's yelling out of concern and reminds themselves not to die "or viago will kill them", because he cares about them. if they keep taking hits, viago will yell at them to stop "letting that idiot win", and then also to stop getting hit altogether, because his concern comes out as anger that they're not being safe. and rook responds with a huffy "i'm not doing it on purpose!" (very sibling-coded), and then "sorry viago", because this is just how they communicate with each other, and the concern and care is still noted, despite how tense the situation is.

how, if illario hits rook, lucanis will growl that he's going to kill his cousin for hurting them. how he'll urge rook to fall back if they take too many more hits, assuring them that he'll finish the fight himself.

how illario will pleasantly assure rook that it's nothing personal at the beginning the fight, but when he draws in closer later on he'll sneer "you picked the wrong dellamorte".

there's an unspoken understanding of what is required from the first talon, from the perspective of a crow rook, that the player can't help but keep in mind. but when rook expresses concern that those responsibilities could take lucanis away from them, he assures them that he wouldn't leave the lighthouse while they're still there, listing them separate from everyone else when he's remarking on the people that he cares for.

just. CROWS!!!!!! y'know?

actually sorry dav reads like a game that was written by people who think da2 is about found family. in every other game my ending feels earned and my choices are my own and then veilguard asks the bold question what if we could bring the hr mandatory team bonding experience into a video game?

college student!satoru who has a big fat crush on his professor, you, despite da age gap. . . n sure, there’s false rumors of him sleepin around with everyone n anything, but he’s only got his eyes set on you. :c he sees da dark circles hanging heavy beneath your pretty eyes, the empty sighs leaving your lips when his class won’t settle.. he jus wants t’know the other sounds you can make.. his eyes are always glued to the bulge in your slacks, n he can’t help but stare when you bend over to assess another student’s work . . he’s so whipped :c

something i like thinking about for dorian and the inquisitor if you get the mages for help with the breach is the aftermath of the corrupted future. do they get sick from being around the blight and red lyrium? do their injuries carry over? do they have to burn the gear and clothes they were wearing because they were drenched in the blood of corrupted red templars and so close to the blight? do they have nightmares afterwards? does a high approval dorian seek them out to bond over their shared experience? does a low approval dorian despise the fact that they shared that experience and that no one else will ever truly understand it? many thoughts

OKAY I FINISHED THIS (the whole thing took me 10 days btw....) based on the song порез на собаке - баллада о тайном товарище (the ballad of the secret friend) unfortunately i couldn't find any english translation.... idk if it helps but i'll put the song lyrics under the cut so you can copy it to google translate or something😭😭 LMAO SORRY.... or you can just look at the pictures ig

(1) Текст: Порез на Собаке - Баллада о Тайном Товарище (2) Сквозь свист метели, вопли сов и лай цепных собак Услышал твой далекий зов, не знаю даже как (3) Ты звал из тех безумных мест, где сходят с гор снега И ночью слышен сосен треск, и голод, и цинга И волки воют в небеса, канюча о судьбе Идти отсюда полчаса, и я пошел к тебе (4) Равнинами держал свой путь, холмами и порой Хотел обратно повернуть, поскольку не герой Я шел, петляя и боясь, держался лисьих троп С ветра порывами борясь, меня не сдули чтоб Лишился сил и весь продрог, сморкаясь и дрожа Я шёл и не идти не мог, тебя в уме держа

(5) Кем был я без тебя, скажи, чем полон был внутри? Щепотка скуки, горстка лжи - хоть плюнь да разотри Счастливым не был я ни дня, не ведая о том, Но ты не стал плевать в меня и растирать потом (6) Бездействием опустошен, я спал. В один из снов Нежданным гостем ты вошел, рушителем основ Ты жизнь мою перевернул, распутал и отмыл Я будто в небеса нырнул, расправив пару крыл

(7) Я жил, закрыв глаза, и вдруг - переменился весь Я начал видеть всё вокруг таким, как оно есть Увидел неба синеву и пряжу облаков Я словно грезил наяву и плакать был готов Всё в новом свете: горы, лес, озера и поля И звери с шерстью, или без - всё трогает меня Чудесных мыслей хоровод, восторженных идей И хочется пустить их в ход, не мешкая, скорей

(8) Я словно обитал в раю четыре долгих дня На пятый счастье и уют покинули меня И прежний грязно-серый мир с глазами палача Собою новый заменил, злорадно хохоча (9) Я испугался, прежним быть я не хотел уже Того, что видел, не забыть израненной душе Пытался убедить себя, что это был мираж Но страх и боль внутри сидят и портят весь пейзаж (10) Я бросился тебя искать, надежду затая Я забывал поесть, поспать, я забывал, кто я Девизом сделавши слова "Кто ищет - тот найдет" Искал ночами, как сова, недели напролет Но в глубине я понимал - затея терпит крах И вера в радостный финал тускнела на глазах

(11) И вот, когда, утратив пыл, я свой провал признал Ты вновь во сны мои приплыл и вновь меня призвал (12) И я в испарине вскочил, я знал, куда идти И я пришел к тебе в ночи, не сбившися с пути (13) И снова вихрь, искристый свет блаженного огня И снова всё сошло на нет через четыре дня (14) И точно так же, пятый день, оскалившись, принёс Тупую скуку и мигрень, и ноющий вопрос: (15) Какой резон был приходить бессовестно в мой сон? И показав, как может быть, отбросить, будто сор? Брезгливо морщась, отпихнуть и опечатать дверь Так одарить, так обмануть - как с этим жить теперь? (16) Вопросов тьма, вопросов хор, но где в вопросах толк? Нигде. Я принял приговор, смирился и умолк.

(17) И так я научился ��дать, шли месяцы, года Порой мечтая убежать, но как, зачем, куда? Ведь - пусть нечасто с той поры - ты всё же приходил И я держусь своей норы, где годы проводил (18) Вот и сегодня твой призыв нежданный всполошил Лечу к тебе, про всё забыв, быстрей любых машин (19) И вот мы встретились, и всё застыло, как во льду (20) Я обессилен, я спасён, (21) я никуда отсюда не уйду

I got the Assan cutscene right before going to the wetlands for the first time, so enjoy this dumb scene I came up with:

Harding: “Got my gear packed, ready to head to the wetlands when you are.”

Rook: “I was um…actually thinking about bringing Neve”

Harding: “What? Why? You’ll need a scout.”

Rook: “Well yeah but we have Davrin and the other wardens and it would be good to have a mage just in case…you know…”

Harding: “Neve lives in a city. Wouldn’t Bellara be a better option then?”

Rook: “I mean maybe but there might be stuff to…investigate and…detect. So a detective’s a good bet.”

Harding: “Wait a minute…”

Rook: “It’s also cold and so maybe an ice mage could…I dunno… do ice mage things.”

Harding: “You like her???”

Rook: “What? I never said that!”

Harding: “You like her!”

Rook: “Keep your voice down!”

Harding: “That’s why you want to bring her! You have a crush on Neve!”

Rook: “Alright alright fine shut up!”

Harding: “Alright, I’ll sit this one out. But a blighted village isn’t a romantic date, by the way.”

Rook: *groans* “It’s not a date”

Harding: “Well duh, Davrin’s gonna be there.”

Rook: “I’ll bring you the next time we go.”

Harding: “Oh don’t worry about me. I can keep myself busy. While you two go out. Together. Alone.”

Rook: “You’re the worst”

Harding: “Have fun!”

In hindsight, there has to have been something iconic about the moment the Inquisitor finds out Solas can just sashay into someone's dreams and lobotomize them like I'm sorry he can WHAT? The guy I dragged into my subconscious for a tour of a place he'd already been to could have chopped my consciousness into tiny bite-sized pieces and flame-broiled them just to feel something? Meanwhile Sera's in a corner somewhere dumping holy water in a circle around herself just in case
