#im just in protracted screaming mode about this whole conversation

[thedragonagelesbian]

the thing is. the morrigan love convo triggered right after we visited denerim for the first time & after dru reunited with gorim, so it’s so easy to read the dialogue as written as, like, morrigan freaking out seeing dru interacting with gorim & his new family and wondering if that’s what they expect from her. i love that! unspoken or unknown expectations are a very real source of tension for romantic/intimate relationships, and it makes further sense that morrigan wouldn’t know how to broach that issue without getting defensive, putting dru on edge, and getting into a big fight about it

but the thing is!! there needs to be space to grow and expand from there. time to follow-up for dru to say “listen we’re never going to lapse into idle reproductive domesticity because that’s not what i want and that’s not what you want and that’s not what our love has to look like” & i think morrigan would be so happy if she could outgrow this very narrow understanding of what love has to be
