I do love that in Rohan culture, it seems that it's the custom for men to go out and fight and die heroically, and for women to honour their sacrifice by crying over their bodies or at their funerals. The men are to be brave, the woman to be loving. The men are to do great things. The women are to remember.

But in the film, whereas Eowyn's most iconic moment is her slaying of the Witch King, a great, heroic deed that cements her place in history, Eomer's most iconic moment is (arguably) his guttural scream when he sees Eowyn dead on the ground, dropping to his knees and cradling her to his chest.

Not only is Eowyn's most iconic moment a scene in which she takes on, by her culture's definition, the man's role, the most important role of a man, to die heroically, Eomer's most iconic moment is when he takes on the "woman's" role, to grieve.

I do love his "Death!" charge in the books so much, but because of this parallel between the siblings, I also love the film version where there is no battle for him to fight, no justice for him to wreak, there's nothing for him to do but cradle Eowyn to his chest and rock her back and forth.

Solas treating everyone at the Lighthouse except Varric like a complete moron. Then when Lavellan shows up he rises from his seat whenever she enters a room and pulls out her chair for her and agrees with everything she says.

Starting a new dragon age painting. I don't do scenery very often

Look all I’m asking for is for Rook to suggest a plan and Solas tell them absolutely not and then Lavellan says “I agree…with Rooks plan” and for Solas to look so pained and like he’d fight anyone else but not her and then let’s out a strained “Very well” and it’s so tense between them and everyone else is just going

cursed mythal bathwater dilemma i won't forget u...

[birdieart]

i showed you my whittling skills pls respond

people surprised that mythal might’ve groomed solas as if mythal didn’t attach herself to flemeth, a woman who groomed her daughter into seducing men for power. “it sounds icky” yes it is icky mythal is not supposed to be a character you see as morally righteous. solas says “she was the best of them” HE’S TALKING ABOUT SLAVERS YA’LL THE BAR IS IN HELL??? idk i feel fucking insane rn. the duet is clearly about him and mythal. it doesn’t mean that the duet is inherently romantic, and maybe there is nothing romantic between them, but if there is how is that in any way shape or form ooc for her? the way this fandom has retconned mythal/flemeth into being some girl boss is crazy. this is not an anti solavellan post btw im talking purely about solas and mythal.

i'm so glad that taash is unapologetically herself and was willing to throw hands with people who were looking at her funny and were a potential threat to friends. i want to see her be more mean. want to see how confrontational and protective she can get (especially over rook). there is just something so undeniably attractive about taash and her no-nonsense attitude towards people who aren't friends.

she's a bard. she's a spy. she's a nun. she thinks god is talking to her. she likes shoes. she has a hairless rabbit as a pet. she broke a guy's neck with her thighs. she's the late pope best friend. she's the new pope. she's bisexual.
