Reposting because my OG watermark was weirdly fudged and so gross on the last upload.

Super quick NeveRook edit while I'm finishing another. Every time I have watched or played through this scene, Taylor's song yells at me like a compulsion when Neve says that friggen line.

Don't get me wrong, I love that she calls Rook that, but I felt compelled to share. 😂

LET'S NOT GLAZE OVER HER ROCK-TO-FACE ACCURACY AND FORCE OF THAT ROCK THROWING THOUGH.

I loved everything about this scene (even if you chose Neve to not be in your final parties - though I'm a Neve stan and kept her with me at all times, unless I'm doing the eventual blighted romance route 😂), and just overall everything with the final Minrathous battle.

I think this is a perfect snapshot into why Neve has become one of my all time fav DA characters, because she goes beyond the typical molds that we as players are used to seeing for DA mages and those who hold themselves more proper (especially as far as the other games and their portrayal of Tevene folks). Because it's in these moments that you know without a doubt (if you still had any at that point) that Neve's going to fucking deck the ever living shit out of the opposition any way she can.

A woman with countless tricks up her sleeve, and Rook is a perfect romance to balance/compliment that, and even just as an overall protagonist (IMO).

New NeveRook flashing ⚠️ edit from Dragon Age Veilguard.

Music 🎧 Snow Wife - What Do Girls Do?

--------------------------------------

I'm now realizing that I'm obsessed with my first Rook (and Neve) after finally completing the initial playthrough. I've started a second as an elf and it's just not hitting like my Grey Warden enby Qunari Rook did. 😅

I feel like starting off as a Rook that Neve has to climb like a tree who is taller than basically everyone, makes other versions of Rook seem so short to play now and it just feels wrong. 😂

Anyway, Snow Wife's new song came out and it screamed to be used.

Up on the Tiktok in better quality too!

Why Neve Gallus in Dragon Age Veilguard is gay as hell queer as heck summary:

1. Jessica Clark (Neve's VA in Veilguard) is a lesbian IRL so that clearly leans to Neve as a whole being canonically voiced with a queer brush at the very least.

2. Ain't no cis man gonna be handling anything from Neve freaking Gallus - like HUNTY let's be so ffr right now.

3. That means you, Lucanis. Tbh I love Lucanis as a character, but the fact you can't play Rook AND romance anyone else lest you just allow Lucanis to get it with Neve is a hellll nawww heck no from me dawg.

4. That is all. 😊

Thank you for coming to this Ted Talk.

So I first set out to make a quick, larger formated thirst trap centered around my Dragon Age Veilguard Grey Warden mage enby Qunari Rook, but Neve snuck up on in there like the OTP romanceable companion that she is. 😏 So here we are!

My first Rook has been distractedly handsome/pretty after my initial touch ups, and I felt I needed to share.

This Rook also doesn't officially have a name because it took me way too gd long to figure out I did not in fact have to choose only a preset first name during character creation. 🫣

So some thoughts on this Rook's first (chosen) name are:

- Ash (meaning 'to seek' in Qunlat)

- Rhys (and thus how Varric came out with 'Rook' as a nickname when recruiting them)

- Something else, suggestions?

UPDATE: I seemed to have gone with the name Ash in game.

I will say I've loved the Grey Warden specific dialogue you get in the game also when romancing the hell out of Neve, so I wanted to include that as well.

Rook's snowflake is something else in black.

Neve "Slick" Gallus

[anotherconventionaltumblr]

My first playthrough of Dragon Age The Veilguard I had to start with:

- Qunari

- Nonbinary and queer

- Grey Warden

- Mage

- Romancing Neve, and Neve we Stan

And then I realized the sheer size of my Rook the first cut scene and I couldn't help saying ohmalawd aloud. 😂

Neve is LITERALLY in heels too obviously still a short queen compared to her enby Rook.

Like no matter who you think tops it doesn't matter because regardless Neve has to either: climb her Trouble like a tree for a kiss, or be at the mercy of constant pick ups simply because of the height difference. Absolutely not because Rook loves carrying Neve around, and Neve not-so-secretly melts each time it happens. Purely in private of course, except for the times it's not. 😚

Separately I was beyond thrilled to set my outfit appearance to Hawke's from DA2 and I can't imagine using anything else now, and I know I'm not that far along into the story yet. (Update: Still keeping the DA2 appearance 😂).

I think Neve has turned into a similar Liara-to-Femshep OTP for me which I wasn't expecting. Damn you Bioware.

Such duties. Much cute.

Pretty sure Rook would totes be okay with her/their detective opening shop with the bros to lessen the overall mortal peril percentage of the job in their now domesticated lives along the water. ♥️

I actually enjoyed the angry oil slick look. 😉

Dragging my feet a bit but I will make an end of Season 2 edit for CaitVi at some point, but I just can't bring myself to admit that the Arcane piece of LoL is done yet. 😂

So until then....

I've only started DAV and here we are on the Neve romance train already. 😅

Quick edit. Not sure how I feel about it, just knew that it was necessary to make. 🫡

The edit is featuring both of my current hella queer Rooks because I keep changing my mind as I've started (Masc Queer Human Rook she/they and Non-Binary Qunari Rook they/them because Neve comes off as only super gay Your Honor). 😂
