Prompt that came to me that immediately made me think of you: Hawke was left in the fade....Varric is (possibly) an advisor for Rook, in their base, which is in the fade.....(Spider-Man pointing meme at author's discretion)
"I'm telling you - I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I know how this place works, but what I do know is that Hawke's here...somewhere, and considering what we're about to be up against, I just think it would behoove us - "
From where she'd been poring over the rudimentary maps they'd been charting, Harding provided a quick translation: "He wants us to wander through the Fade to find his wife."
There were some snickers from the group at that, snickers which, in all honesty, only got worse when Varric jokingly raised a finger to correct her, "Hawke isn't my wife."
"Okay," Harding replied without missing a beat, her words slightly cramped by the quill she held between her teeth as she compared two maps to one another, "he wants us to wander through the Fade to find his girlfriend, which I guess is a difference important enough to merit quibbling over."
He took it in stride, brushing her off as he addressed the room again, saying, "No one does impossible odds like this better than Hawke, all right - no one! And in all honesty, I've seen how she operates, okay, and with how long she's been trapped here, she very could could be queen of the demons by now, so...think about it, mull it over, and ask yourselves this: Wouldn't life be a little easier if she was here to distract me from narrating how absolutely fucked this whole thing is?"

some quick notes from your previous reply (i’m sorry i took so long ive been so busy recently but i finally have time now so):
firstly, i hope i never meet a handball player irl, ever. the fact that you just casually know people above 200cm?? i’m sorry but i’d actually feel like a pest around everyone 😓😓 (plus id get really jealous of heights) and id also be terrified to even stand near anyone close to 200 pls
and omg the fact that the guy who got you into coaching recently passed? i hope you’re doing okay 😓🙏 but if it helps— he may not have known how much he changed your life, but through coaching, you’re basically keeping his legacy alive, yeah? i think it matters, personally, that people are remembered and honoured and you’re kinda doing that through coaching, because you’re kinda solidifying (if that’s the right word for it) the fact that he existed, and he did enough good to change the lives of people for the better, and that his time here on earth wasn’t all in vain because he did good and he brought joy to people like you by leading you to being a coach and that his impact lives on even when he’s gone yk? it’s a form of closure, i think— to know that even if someone is gone now, there are pieces of them scattered behind in little things (in your case, in your daily life as a coach), and that not all is lost, just a little harder to find
also oops the fact that i called them girls even though they’re only a barely a few years younger than me 😭😭
and omg pepe would 100% make me feel comfortable meeting him at a race even if he might be stressed and no way you got to go to races at 8?? you had a chance to be one of those cute kids probably decked out in merch (if no merch was involved you probably got to scream happily at everything and good for you😭😭 because thats exactly how races should be experienced)
finding sponsors can’t be that hard… we could infiltrate the space in various ways im sure (my friend’s mum knows someone who works for Marlboro that gets invited to races bc the company was an EX-sponsor so anything’s possible)
on a rather unrelated note— pepe’s been acting very much like a muse for me recently… whatever that might mean… (might even be nothing honestly sometimes i don’t know what i mean either)
anyway! as always, i hope you have a lovely lovely friday, and weekend, and june (pepe’s month!), and that people are kind to you and that the sky looks beautiful and gorgeous all the time ❤️❤️
- 🪷💗
gosh dont apologize :( esp since you know im bad at answering….. its alright 🥺 just glad to hear from you 🥺🥺
shdjdhd it do be scary to meet really tall people!! when im around the men's team i work with sometimes, i almost get neck pains bcs staring up at them is so hard 😵💫 and i have this other job where i have to like sit by the court and do things for the match, and when players come over to talk to me and they literally tower over me???? insane 😶 but yes i too get jealous of heights, esp since in handball it's good for girls to be tall too so everyone around me is always tall asf? ive always been considered to be a tall person in school but at 175cm i am nowadays considered short in the team i currently play in 😐😐😐 so yes i feel u aaa (also several of the girls i coach are my height already and just. pls stop growing, you're scaring me. 🥲)
ALSO OMFG i almost forgot to answer this but i had a thought yesterday.... about my favorite volleyball player being 188cm and i thought "hm that's not very far off from pepe" so of course i have now started thinking about volleyball player!pepe 😶 idk if you enjoy volleyball aaaaaaa but i just thought about his height and his big ass hands that would make hitting the ball easier and just..........
thank you, im doing okay but it's still weird to imagine? because i haven't really had anyone close to me (or even semi-close) pass away so it's a very new experience, being in his neighborhood (very close to where i live) and thinking "oh what if i see him in the shop like that day-" before realizing... but god you put it in such a sweet way, im lowkey teary eyed :( i will continue to do my best to keep his legacy alive and honor him through my coaching!!! he created this thing that became so important to me and for that i will be forever thankful. but yes i agree, it means that he brought more meaning to my life and therefor also the girls i coach, and that's such a beautiful thing. it's life, i guess 😭 so hard but also so sweet...
skdjfhdjjf dont worry, i call them "children" to their faces very often even though some are even 16 😁 but to be fair ive known a lot of them since they were nine so to me they're still babies :(( also you being that young and still so smart is so cool and cute aaa
no because i have imagined meeting pepe MANY times and i really really think he would be so sweet about it. very happy that i recognize him and like "aw hey it's okay! no tears please" when i cry 😭 and i think he also would agree to do a silly pose with me for a photo aksjdhfjkdf 😭 i sadly didn't buy a lot of merch BUT (did i mention this already?? then i will be so insanely embarrassed....) we did get me a kimi lotus cap for obvious reasons 🥺 that i still have to this day actually !!! and ofc we took a pic of me next to the lotus truck 🤭 (also realizing now that i wasn't 8, i was 9 or 10 🤣 well well)
oh! then i think we can pretend to be your friend's mum's friend's kids? so we should also be invited?? or maybe we just need to get a job somewhere that has connections and can invite us..... to be fair my dad wrote to dino beganovic's manager or something about sponsoring him just for funsies (idk how u mean to sponsor someone just for fun tho 😶 he was like "what if i get my company's logo on his car and in return we get to come into the paddock once?..."), but then the manager responded with a full deal and stuff and my dad just got scared 😭 but we should keep looking, i'm sure we can find a good sponsor for us 🥰
aaaaa that's so sweet 🥺 i love that 🥺🥺🥺 if you feel like talking further about it, im all ears 🥰
aw dalring i hope you have an even lovelier lovely friday and week and month and year !!! and yes yes pepe's month, i think it will be very good to us all (esp him!!!!!!!) 🥰 i think that maybe the world listened to your ask because the sunset was so gorgeous tonight 🥺 so thank you for that <3<3

Got any more CREEPs crumbs up your sleeves this Halloween weekend? 👀
"No," Ashley said, shaking her head slowly at first, then more and more insistently the longer Josh wheedled her, "I'm not doing it, and that's the end of it! I'm not doing it for you, I'm not doing it for the Halloween spirit, whatever the heck that means...and no, I'm not doing it for the freaking podcast!"
Despite Sam doing her best to keep him rooted to his seat, Josh stood from the table (almost but not quite displacing one of the tea lights flickering atop Ashley's spirit board) with his hands outstretched and his spiel still running strong: "The people have spoken, and the people want you possessed, so just sit back down, say hello to the fridge ghost - nicely this time - and let's just see where the evening takes us, huh?"
"I'd let the fridge ghost possess me," Chris interrupted, his voice thoughtful and his eyes on the spirit board, one of his fingers still balanced on the planchette, "I mean, we've yet to plumb the depths of its wisdom, Ash, think of all the things it could teach us!"
Sinking his claws into that rationale, Josh nodded, adding, "Yeah, if you're gonna be such a stick in the mud about it, sure, let Cochise have a spin at the whole meat puppet deal...who knows, maybe it can teach him something important, like how to be a better kisser."
"Hey, fuck you dude, I'm great at kissing," Chris sputtered, blowing out a hard raspberry when Ashley jokingly seesawed her hand; "I'm decent then, I'm...I-I-I think we can agree I'm better at it than a refrigerator would be!!!"
