on a second DA:I playthrough i’m noticing so much more foreshadowing in companion/advisor dialogue of how cadash/adaar/lavellan/tracelyan as a person HAS to be obliterated by the inquisition as a political, religious, and narrative force and the title of inquisitor.
mother giselle tells you from the beginning it doesn’t matter what you believe about being/not being the herald; you are an icon to the common people and the chantry.
josephine tells you after the truth about “andraste”/justinia is revealed in the fade—it doesn’t matter what you saw or felt, only what is remembered collectively.
dorian tells you if you ask to go with him to tevinter—you can never undo being the inquisitor, and would take away his agency just by being there.
varric tells you in haven that you’re a tragic hero, and asks at the wicked grace game if there is still a “you” separate from the inquisitor.
solas tells you in skyhold, if you tell him you intend to disband the inquisition, that the power you’ve amassed can’t be destroyed, and will only pass to less worthy hands if you relinquish it.
and all of that is just off the top of my head and comes up before ameridan’s name is ever mentioned.
and it’s all been said before but like! fuck! truth is the game was rigged from the start! you’ve been COOKED, inquisitor! YOU CAN NEVER GO HOME! it’s so fucking good
I just honestly have been feeling sick to my stomach all day because I really didn't think we were going to be at a point where we're almost a whole year into this genocide, still screaming about the exact same things we screamed about on day one of this carnage, but this time it's not just in Palestine, it's also in Lebanon (and who knows where next) because the most evil entity in the world knows no bounds and is emboldened by the silence of so many cowards who see violence in the ~middle east~ as normal and inevitable.
all the love to people who work customer service n call center i know that shit sucks.
however i need the people at the clinic who won't answer my 3 emails n 2 phonecalls asking if i still have my two consultations next month or not because i heard suddenly that my doctors wouldn't fucking be there, from another source that was not them. to DIE.
