the worst damage humans do isn’t rooted in malice, but in thoughtlessness. / hey remember when makerbound wasn't a dusty ole blog? cass @ the priestess
BLACK SAILS SEASON 2 - ACCEPTING / @imbricare
   "You are either naive or lying to me, Seeker." the priestess answers and her tone is clipped. Perhaps it was indeed the former, or perhaps it was a healthy mix of the two. The priestess, couldn't, honestly, tell when she looked at the Seeker with her brow arched and a growing sour expression on her face "I cannot tell which."
Humans, specifically, using that term instead of shem'len had been for the longest times the largest plagues upon the People with the exception of Fen'harel. To say that most of the actions in the areas of Arlathan and of her home temple had been motivated by anything other than malice and greed would be willing ignorance. But Cassandra was Andrastian, and - as far as she understood it from the other sisters she had come to know within Haven - they were not well versed in anything outside the History that revolved around Andraste and her march north.
Most of it partial fabrication anyway.
   "Humans have done plenty of damage based solely on their malice. Thoughtlessness was there too, of course," it would be impossible not to, after all, all of them had their nature and such things could not be so easily disposed of. Dark eyes find the seekers and her mouth closes into a tight line.
Naive, then. "but I would hardly say it was the root motivation. Were that all things could be explained by simple stupidity."

@makerbound asked: “But it is one thing to read about dragons and another to meet them.” / @ mar because WHAT A CASS THING TO SAY
At the voice, Hawke glanced up from wiping her blades carefully clean. Dragon blood was often hot and strange; it would eat away at steel if you weren’t careful, turn leather and cloth to weak tattered rags. The bulk of the dead dragon was heaped nearby, more of the dark strange blood seeping out and puddling beneath the rent hide to soak into the verdant, fertile soil of the Graves.
She met the blank, glassy eyes of the high dragon’s corpse for a moment, reflecting briefly on how small and sad it looked now; which had only a little while before been a strangely beautiful, if deadly, creature. Brightly patterned scales in shades of teal and umber; she had spat ice at them instead of fire, which was new in Hawke’s practical experience, though she’d heard of it before. 
Hawke’s eyes flicked briefly to where the Inquisitor stood with their other companions, examining the high dragon themselves and talking quietly, no doubt strategizing how to strip the corpse of its valuable crafting materials, the thick blood not excepted; and then she tilted her chin to look up at Cassandra standing beside her.
“I suppose so. But I mean, this is my....” Hawke trailed off a second, visibly counting on her fingers, “...fiiiiifth? No, sixth. Sixth? Fuckweasles, I’m starting to lose track! Let’s just go with sixth dragon I’ve had to face. Yeah, some of them were a teeeensy bit smaller than this, drakes and mature dragons and the like, and that does not even come close to counting all the Andraste-damned dragonlings, but.” She shrugged. “Loses the novelty after a while.”
There was a pause, and Hawke’s eyes widened. “Waiiiiiit, is this your first? Is it? Did you just lose your dragon virginity?” She hopped to her feet and grinned at Cassandra in bright fond tease; she knew it wasn’t Cassandra’s first, not by a long shot, but the joke was just sitting there, waiting, taunting. How could Hawke ever resist picking it up? 
“Aw, babe, I’m honored you’d share your first with me!”

ღ your favourite da:i banter
i’m gonna highlight one that for some reason ppl give solas a lot of flack for. i say “some reason” but i know the reason, it’s ppl having difficulties admitting dorian sometimes deserves to be criticised.
Dorian: Solas, for what it's worth, I'm sorry.Dorian: The elven city of Arlathan sounds like a magical place, and for my ancestors to have destroyed it...Solas: Dorian... hush.Solas: Empires rise and fall. Arlathan was no more "innocent" than your own Tevinter in its time.Solas: Your nostalgia for the ancient elves, however romanticized, is pointless.Solas: If you wish to make amends for past transgressions, free the slaves of all races who live in Tevinter today.Dorian: I... don't know that I can do that.Solas: Then how sorry are you?
ppl seem to hate that solas doesn’t accept his apology and?? why should he, it sounds like all it would do is alleviate dorian’s guilt about his empire’s past, while doing nothing for elvhenan, solas, modern tevinter slaves, nor even dorian’s development.
solas is just pointing out that being sorry means nothing if you do nothing about it. it also highlights some of the similarities in their arcs, with both eventually choosing to do something about the state of the homes they love (referring to fen’harel’s rebellion in elvhenan rather than solas’s current plans)
♦ your favourite piece of lore
i already talked about my fave lore aka everything about the dalish/elves in general in da:i and i talked about dwarves elsewhere so...
rivain??? i love rivain?
i think as a culture it seems incredibly interesting, a real melting pot of their own traditions, andrastrianism, and the qun. and given what we know of the former, i also have to wonder how it meshes with the latter two. we have some idea w/ andrastrianism, they had a circle but it was much more lax and mages were allowed to have families and seers even merged with spirits, similarly to the avvar. the qun however is harder to imagine fitting in well in that climate, although this is partially b/c we’ve never seen the qun as it’s supposed to be in the games, beyond exposure to individuals, and the one example of a qunari subculture in-game doesn’t end so well.
what happens to the circle as dairsmuid is a tragic example of what a pile of shit the “circles/templars are for our protection” is. mages in rivain are revered (or at least the women are,) and as far as we’ve learned there’s nothing to indicate they cause a lot of problems, and to the chantry that is a problem. it’s a clear indication that everything they’ve been preaching isn’t as true as they want it to be, and so it has to go.
i really hope we go to rivain one day. like more than anywhere else, i want to go to rivain. i remember a few years at dragon-con when ppl asked where some workers at bioware wanted to go, weekes said rivain, so hopefully one day i’ll get my wish.
☼ some positivity for a canon character roleplay blog
bethany is a criminally underrated character and @vigilflight gives her the attention she’s deserved. what she’s done with wasa in particular has grown into something really special and i feel grateful for being able to watch it unfold even as my gut clenches in preparation for whatever shit they’re about to pull next. i’m probably gonna end up modding my game so i can play through w/ one of my mage hawkes and experience warden bethany for myself and it’s 100% lisa’s doing.
☾ some positivity for an original character roleplay blog
shout-out to @exnobis and all adelle’s creations, but in this case specifically nox who i had the pleasure of hearing all about the other day! elvhenan muses are hard, there’s so much history, more than we can ever hope to live. nox’s life is so sad and fraught with suffering and hearing how it led him to hurt others is heartbreaking and yet fascinating.
i’m finally getting a nox thread and honestly i’m hype to write the starter. adelle is a blessing.

makerbound replied to your post: Bull, loves interacting with kids.Bull on the idea...
Ok, now i wanna know how many bastards he has running around
Well, since he was under the Qun and in Seheron until 26ish, they probably hit breeding around 15 and he was considered someone you really wanted more of
Dozens??

wait a sec don’t roland and suze do that in book 7 in empathica or do i remember something wrong
makerbound replied to your post: Vannay has absolutely saved his own life at at...
(which would make this headcanon even cooler then because then it’s basically roland remembering another one of vannay’s teachings)
I honestly can’t recall, but it sounds just plausible enough that I’d believe it. And for Roland the teaching was likely a little less about discipline, and more about preparing him for literally every eventuality he can imagine, because he’s the only student he’s ever taught in whom that will really matter. I doubt anyone asks why he pushes Roland harder - he is their future king, after all.

PARTY BANTER ; ACCEPTING ; @makerbound;  ♡ — my muse and yours
CASSANDRA: the locket was a kind gesture cole, but you needn’t shower me with gifts. COLE: i didn’t. CASSANDRA: what?COLE: it wasn’t me.   CASSANDRA: oh. then who---COLE: does it matter?  CASSANDRA: (sigh) yes, it matters. aside from the thanks i owe, i would rather people not have access to my private quarters without my permission.COLE: he knew you’d say no.CASSANDRA: he? so you know who it is?COLE: yes.CASSANDRA: and you won’t tell me. COLE: he wants you to be happy, even though he doesn’t always know why. he thinks you’d be angry if you knew. but you already do, and you’re not. CASSANDRA: ...i suppose i do. tell var---...tell him, whoever he may be, that i appreciate the books. although, next time, i’d rather he not break into my chambers to leave them. if he wishes to remain anonymous, then he can simply leave them by the training grounds. COLE: he picked the lock just to annoy you. CASSANDRA: (sigh) of course he did.

talk about us ( accepting ) | @makerbound
What they define their relationship with your muse as: It’s complicated as any relationship between an open blood mage and someone from the seeker order is. The priestess seems highly unimpressed by the whole Chantry business, especially considering what the Chantry did to the elves of the Dales. That is something that she tries to keep out of conversation, because of the fear that she might say something that she’ll regret. For most elves that is something that has happened eons ago but considering how long the priestess was sleeping she saw her people run from Arlathan to the Dales, to Halamshiral. What happened is very fresh, it’s still an open wound for someone that woke up just a few months to see all of this. It’s a lot to take in. She respects Cassandra because of her drive and dedication that she sees mirrored on herself, but she has zero respect for her Chantry and what they have done.
Something they like about your muse: Her drive and dedication like I’ve said. This is why, similarly she might find respect for a Templar. She thinks that they are deadly wrong and misguided but she can admire it nonetheless.
Something they dislike about your muse: The fear for blood magic, but perhaps this is just general. She has met others from the templars/Seekers ( she has a hard time discerning between the two besides their armour, not understanding yet that one is to oversee the other ) and they all have come up to her in an aggressive manner, so much so that some that have drawn their blades on her have paid the price. She hopes that the same doesn’t happen to Cassandra.
Their first impression of your muse: Impressive for a human.
Their impression of your muse now: Conflicting. While the priestess feels that she would have been an incredible asset for the faithful she also knows that she would never really leave her faith ( which is something that the priestess can respect ). She still feels that Cassandra is a waste.
How they feel about your muse: I’ve basically already done this one on the last few wiogheriuge
Something they are hiding from your muse: I mean, what isn’t she hiding? The only thing that she doesn’t hide is that she is a blood mage, that she is an elf and that she gives exactly 0 fucks.
Something they wish they could to tell your muse: You should follow Gods that are real, not some fairy tale spun by humans to keep mages bound out of fear for Tevinter. Magic existed before Tevinter and will exist long after it, you could do so much more were you not bound by this.

Roleplay history !
The rules are simple ! Post ten characters you’d like to roleplay as, have role-played as, and might bring back. Then tag ten people to do the same ( if you can’t think of ten characters, just write down however many you can and tag the same amount of people ). Aside from that, please repost instead of reblogging !
“Currently” playing :
cuthbert allgood / @ cllgood (the dark tower)
everyone on this blog
Want to play :
someone, whether canon or original, from the age of sail
black sails: undecided; possibly an oc or eleanor guthrie or IDK anyone because everyone is so good but that also makes them intimidating ya feel
aubrey-maturin series: maybe jack aubrey or diana villiers or an oc
Have played  /  would like to play again :
dwalin / @ fundinson (tolkien)
asunn / @ ursinh (tolkien)
