#merrill is kind of diametrically ideologically opposed to solas when you think about it -- her wanting to preserve the past

Merrill banters I am thinking about all the time always 24/7
merrill truly will incessantly worry she's stupid and missing the point all the time and then take you out with the most beautifully worded and compassionate breakdown of the thematic spine of DA2 you've ever heard. no actually daisy I think you're the only one getting the point here slowly but surely
especially this one, actually: (also why I could see how bioware would bring merrill into DA:D on solas' side, but also I really really don't want them to because her arc is just -- it's just incredible and I don't want them to mess with it lol)
'I don't think people are cleansed by fire'. people make mistakes and you have to believe in them anyway. yeah basically that's the thesis of dragon age huh
#'hawke is my friend. they are my people'. simple not stupid. I love you so much merrill#dragon age#dragon age 2#on second thought let's not go to kirkwall; it is a silly place#merrill#the way you also sense through merrill's story how varric is like... protective to the point of slightly paternalistic over her#(not in a deliberate/ill-intentioned way but just with the intensity of how badly he wants her to be ok. I feel u bro)#but also clearly respects her insight and intellect so much#he gives her by far the most 'glimpsing the shape of the narrative' moments#merrill is kind of diametrically ideologically opposed to solas when you think about it -- her wanting to preserve the past#is about helping the people who are already *here*; to give something back to them#solas is planning on killing the people already here to give *someone* back the past one day#(I don't necessarily think he's entirely convinced by himself tho so like let's see how that one plays out haha)
