That one post about a married couple knowing where the other one keeps their back up knives is so Rookanis to me. Rook's dagger/mageknife gets knocked out of their hand and they immediately reach into Lucanis' armour for another one. Lucanis running past Rook and grabbing the spare knife from their thigh because it's more convenient than the one in his boot (which is only there for Rook's use anyway really)

One of my fave things about the DA games is the parallels of characterization between the protags.

The Warden and The Inquisitor both have a kind of dignity and honor about them. They're both like "I absolutely did not want to be in this position, but here I am and we'll get this done one way or another." They both force people to work together for a greater good and unite under their banner and both are reasonably competent at their jobs.

Hawke and Rook on the other hand... things are just going wrong constantly for them, they are both consistently on their 13th reason, and their main defense is a "the horrors persist but so do I" attitude. They also did not want to be in the position they're in but they're "DOING MY FUCKING BEST CUT ME SOME SLACK I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE STEPPING UP" and if one more thing goes wrong they're both going to just start biting people.

I like the idea of Anders keeping his warden armor because letting him retain that small dose of diplomatic immunity sounds really funny

i wish it was more visibly obvious that cassandra’s interrogation of varric was in the amell estate because i did not pick up on it initially and it’s so deranged

"I hate the fade." "I hate the deep roads." Well I hate fucking Denerim. Run around getting jumped every four minutes. There's a fucking plague nobody is dealing with. Some blind templar is the only one doing his job. Terrible layout. Ass of a city.

🥀Sweet little words made for silence, not talk

Young heart for love, not heartache

Dark hair for catching the wind

Not to veil the sight of a cold world🥀

origins: elven men are shorter and have narrower builds than human men - they are a graceful and agile but not very physically powerful race

da2: fenris has a stronger taller build than most elven men which is part of the reason why he would have been singled out by his master to become a bodyguard, he is still narrower than human men and only as tall as marian hawke though

inquisition: solas is still kinda narrow but he is six feet tall. this is foreshadowing the fact that he is a remnant of an ancient, powerful race of immortals that modern elves with their mayfly lives and slight bodies are a mere shadow of

veilguard: davrin is built like a brick shithouse because *checks the lore* fuck you he’s hot

i know that gameplay wise u get such a boost of approval because u only get him as a companion at the very end of the game so there's a much smaller margin to get his bonus abilities but im obsessed with an idea of sweeping that man off his feet in one simple conversation.

“Rook, I won’t let you drown.”

“Promise?”

“I swear it.”
