tell me about thosk and paragon of her kind pls

godddd he did it last when he’d had a lot of character development and Wow he saw Orzammar so differently. He also saw Dust Town. For the first time in his life. He tracked down and visited all his kids and gave them as much money as he could spare. But like, while he’s going around Orzammar surprising everyone by being much less of a conceited asshole than he used to be, he’s also very determinedly looking for ways to bring Bhelen down. He is absolutely behind Harrowmont and as soon as he sees Vartag, tells him to either fight or fuck off and tell Bhelen that Thosk is going to bring him down.

But he’s seeing more of Orzammar than he noticed or cared about before, and in the Deep Roads Oghren points out things Thosk never thought about (while they both realise this guy is much more than they thought he was, and grow to respect each other a little). He finds Ruck who only Filda still cares about, when he knows nobles lost in the Deep Roads would be searched for for years. He finds ancient records for Orta that mean she’ll suddenly be afforded more rights. And then he finds Caridin and the Anvil of the Void and he knows the easy answer here, the way to save Orzammar, would be to turn the casteless into golems, because they don’t legally exist anyway. And he knows that’s wrong. 

When Thosk gets back to Orzammar he visits Harrowmont immediately and asks what he’d do about the caste system if king, which is a question Harrowmont really doesn’t have time for. He tells Harrowmont to get out of Orzammar now, because he knows his brother, and Bhelen won’t leave Harrowmont alive and able to threaten him once he’s king. Harrowmont is A Little Surprised at this change in Thosk to say the least. But as much as Thosk would love to make Bhelen suffer, to just give him some kind of punishment for what he did to him, Bhelen would be far better for the casteless - and everyone not a noble - than Harrowmont would. And he tells Harrowmont, and Bhelen, and his companions, and anyone else who asks “But it’s not about me”. He’s taken his fucking time getting here, but this boy is going to be selfless now and let go of his revenge for the good of others, because it’s the right thing to do. It’s the big turning point in his character arc and wow I’m proud of him.

Thosk Aeducan (Warden | Rogue | he/him) - Basically that story of how Julius Caesar got captured for ransom and then got offended because he didn’t think the ransom wasn’t high enough and made his kidnappers raise it

Nasha (Rogue | she/her) - Thosk’s eldest daughter who isn’t forgiving him for his bullshit any time soon

Hi! Um, odd question to spring on you out of the blue, but if all your Wardens got together in a pub somewhere, how would they all get on?

Griffon, Mahariel and Orlena are Too Autistic for this shit and find a quiet corner to escape to. They end up having a good conversation about the stress of the Blight and of other people’s expectations and Griffon ends up asking Mahariel and Orlena some stuff about Daish and Circle culture they want to know but have been awkward asking about. In return, Mahariel asks Griffon about some noble stuff he doesn’t get. Griffon doesn’t get it either. Neither does Orlena. They complain about nobles.

Meanwhile Lorrel is adopting Everyone, whether they like it or not. Vari likes it a lot because this is essentially her grandmother and she’s really cool, and Seren’s really excited about having a city elf declare that she’s family now. She wants to know Everything about life in an alienage, which Vari and Lorrel kind of agree is “it sucks but also we’re the Greatest, and will fight anyone else who says it sucks.”

Elora tells Lorrel she doesn’t need or want a grandmother, or any family. In between mocking her little brother Thosk for all his shitty life choices. Which Thosk takes, because okay fair he has made some really shitty life choices. But some of the rest of you must have made shitty choices too right??? Isaline agrees that yes, she did. She’s not going to go into it. Mags says she did everything wrong, which Isaline and Lorrel tell her they’re sure isn’t true. Mihren says humans deserve what they get. Lacha isn’t comparing her mistakes to some fucking dwarven noble’s, and would prefer not to speak to Elora or Thosk at all actually. 

Annabeth is…… not going to be doing at all well considering she did a lot of Terrible Things in the pursuit of stopping the Blight Whatever The Cost, at the knowledge that 13 other people were able to stop the Blight without being fucking terrible about it. But if we’re being nice, we can have pre-dead family and Blight Annabeth, who is incredibly down to party and hang out with all this fun new people and hey do any of them want to make out maybe?? Therlia has no objections to that.

Mags is very shy and awkward, and Lacha, who doesn’t want to be here at all and sees no reason to hang out with these people, sighs and starts talking to her. She tells Mags a lot of stuff about her life and her own feelings on leadership and People, and ends up giving Mags some blunt but very helpful advice. Mags isn’t sure whether or not Lacha likes her at all (she does).

Therlia, Isaline and Mihren end up having a very deep discussion about how terrible Circles are and the stuff they suffered there. Seren tells them her girlfriend was made Tranquil but would prefer to go back to talking to her City Elf friends instead of saying more about it. After a while of just talking about her abusive templar ex, Isaline lets slip his name. Therlia and Mihren are very quick to agree that yeah, Cullen Rutherford is the fucking worst. Seren looks back over and vehemently agrees. Orlena approaches the main table for the first time that night to tell everyone that yeah that guy’s a massive creep. No one else likes him either.

So tl;dr there are some disagreements and then everyone bands together to talk about how much they hate cullen rutherford

hey I don’t think I’ve ever told you guys about how quickly my zevmancing wardens fuck zev decides on whether they’re autistic or allistic

see after making my first six zevmancing wardens, I realised that the three autistics jumped his bones after a quest or two, while the three allistics went incredibly slow burn and didn’t fuck him until completing the five Gathering Allies quests at least. Which, considering the desexulisation of autistics, makes me really happy?

and now i just?? keep with it. 

“Hmmm I don’t think Thosk will fuck him for a while and he seems to be allistic, so yeah, let’s drag this out.”

“Mags is a shy virgin who’s a little Nervous about having sex for the first time, I’m not sure how nervous though. Well, she seems to be allistic, guess we’re going for very nervous!”

“I think my planned Surana will fuck Zev fairly quickly, yeah, I guess she works pretty well as autistic!”

it is the best way of working out whether someone is autistic or not!

and i mean obviously, there was also the time my doctor just sent Zevran into the room and noted down how quickly I started screwing him. and that is how i got my autism diagnosis.

Anyway Bodahn’s responses to a stuck up dwarf noble warden are fucking golden.

[Image Text below]

Bodahn Feddic: I ran a fairly successful business. Rare artifacts, you know; old things, grand things... the nobles loved them. Reminded them of the lost glory days, I suppose.

Warden: Our gory isn’t lost.

Bodan Feddic: You can think that if you wish, if that gives you comfort. But some of us prefer to look at things as they are, and see the truth

*

Bodahn Feddic: She had me arrested on the spot, of course. Nobles, they’re touchy like that.

Warden: I used to be a noble.

Bodahn Feddic: And now you’re up here, on the surface.

Warden: You are right. We are a terrible lot, aren’t we?

Bodahn Feddic: Just a little bit. But what was I saying before? Oh, the bracers.

*

Warden: You stole things from the thaigs of noble houses? How dare you?

Bodahn Feddic: You know, she said the exact same thing in that exact same tone...
