i think i might have to make the tough choice to move neve over to my multimuse........

Neve is Hardened

[detectice]

Neve Gallus as the new boss of the Threads makes me insane, it's SO good. Not only for her character, but thematically for the game! What are you willing to do to save people? To stop evil? What are you willing to sacrifice? Are you okay with being demonized, misunderstood, hated, called a monster, if it means people are alive to call you anything at all?

Neve gives up the idea of being an inspiration or being seen as a hero in order to actually be one. She embraces making harsher choices if it means saving more lives. She accepts that protecting the town and the people she cares so deeply for is worth more than being recognized for it.

Becoming the leader of the Threads is also harm reduction. If she's in charge, she can direct and re-route their activities, she can use them against the Venatori and other oppressors, she can steer them away from more vulnerable citizens. I'm not saying she can fully change a criminal organization into a force for good overnight, but things will be a damn sight better with her calling the shots than someone less invested in the overall wellbeing of Dock Town and its people.

There's also something poetic about a detective who has spent her life chasing leads (following threads) and piecing together clues (using thread string to tie together the evidence on her wall) taking over a group called the Threads.

Nothing happens in Dock Town anymore without Neve Gallus hearing about it. No one knows all Dock Town's secrets, but everyone knows something and Neve Gallus has a whole collection of Threads to pull.

To every egotistic old money magister and puffed up Venatori cultist, to every power-hungry blood mage and would-be slaver and drunk-on-authority templar who sees Dock Town as an easy target: I hear the Threads protect their streets, you should think about that.

- Neve, I need you with me. You know the Venatori best. And you're probably the only one who can convince them you belong there. - I'm all yours.

i think neve loves new years. loves people being so excited for a fresh start, for a step forward. the smiles and laughs and the best wishes. she sees the best of people around the new year. she thinks a new years kiss is full of promise and light and hope. she spends it alone, sitting at the edge of her dock with her usual fried fish in one hand, the other petting a street cat as the rush and sounds of her city lay behind her. she smiles. a new year, the same work to be done. but maybe this one will be better than the one before. maybe this year, dock town will see more smiles, laughs, families reunited, babies born into happy homes. maybe this year she’ll win

hawke this, hawke that.

independent & mutuals only MARIAN HAWKE, champion of kirkwall, from the dragon age franchise. forever adored by august (25+, they/them). minors dni. triggering themes may occur. a look into survivor's guilt, being both the cautionary tale and the one telling it -- how sometimes it does not matter what you do, the ending is always a bad one. how to lose everything and still manage to smile-- most importantly, what lies beneath it. diving into a hero complex, hope as a superpower, and knowing the maker is trying to kill you and refusing to let him WIN.

why does everything fall to me?

rules beneath the cut.

ABOUT. hi, my name is august (they/them, 25+). i have a dumb jon and a busy life– i might move slow or fast, i have no idea!! because if this, i’m highly selective with my writing & who i write with. if you want, we can be dis.cord friends if we are mutuals!

PLOTTING. i am a really anxious person so hopping into someone’s DMs and just trying to plot honestly doesn’t always work super great for me tbh. i’m great at using ask memes as starters and working from there to see how our muses / writing blend together. if you’re super plot based though, i get it! i just might suggest that you make the first move if you were the first to follow in terms of that though.

RULE. i don’t tolerate drama /hate. no homophobia, transphobia, racism, antisemitism, zionism. i don’t do callout culture unless someone is being truly harmful and violent to the community. i will tag all NSFW / triggers - if you need any specific tagged, please let me know!

FORMATTING. i use small text and have been experimenting with colored text / dialogue. if this formatting does not work for you, PLEASE let me know and i will accommodate as best as i can for you! accessibility will always reign over style.

wanna get “i love marian hawke and neve gallus” tattooed on my forehead

(  you  know  that  dynamic  of  the  emotionally  closed  off  one  &  the  kind  one  they  have  a  soft  spot  for?  yeah,  that’s  the  vibe.  )

said from the lone wolf.

❛ you think you know me, but the truth is, you don’t. ❜

❛ going home isn’t an option anymore. ❜

❛ i’m fine. there’s nothing for you to worry about. ❜ 

❛ do you wish i was different? ❜ 

❛ i just, i don’t want anything bad to happen to you. ❜ 

❛ you deserve better than what you’ve got. ❜

❛ i guess we both lost something we were fond of. ❜ 

❛ i’m not leaving you out here alone. ❜ 

❛ you don’t have to keep me company, i’m fine by myself. ❜ 

❛ coming here to see you is the only place i could go. ❜

❛ i’m afraid of losing you, okay? ❜ 

❛ i know you probably hate me right now, and i get it. ❜

❛ what is with your weird fascination with me? ❜ 

❛ yeah, you keep on telling yourself that bullshit. ❜ 

❛ i didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, i just have a lot on my plate. ❜ 

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ if i could be a different person, i promise you, i would be. ❜

❛ people like us don’t get to decide when we’re done. ❜

❛ i’ve never had anything good happen to me when i trusted others. ❜

❛ you won’t survive out there. they tear all good things apart. ❜

❛ i don’t know what’s the truth or what’s a lie anymore. ❜ 

❛ you got guts, i’ll give you that. ❜ 

❛ the more you know, the shorter your life will be. ❜ 

❛ for the first time in years, i felt something that i thought had been lost to me. ❜ 

❛ what you think you’re going through is nothing to what i have been through. ❜ 

said from the soft spot. 

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ how is it that you’re never scared? ❜

❛ you think i’m weak because i’m not like you. ❜

❛ you wanted to be left alone, right? ❜ 

❛ how do you make the pain go away? ❜

❛ you shouldn’t smoke, you know. ❜

❛ destroy what is destroying you. ❜

❛ i hope you find the peace you’re searching for. ❜

❛ you know my door is always open to you. ❜

❛ i look at you and my heart breaks because all i see is loneliness. ❜

❛ you’re avoiding the subject and you know it. what are you hiding from me? ❜ 

❛ you’re not at war anymore, you can come home. ❜

❛ it feels like you’ve been avoiding me. ❜

❛ what are you so afraid of? ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

❛ why do you care? you could have just walked away. ❜ 

❛ i know you. how else do you think i found you so easily? ❜

❛ if it was the other way around, would you have come back for me? ❜ 

❛ i just thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ are you jealous? want me all to yourself, do you? ❜

❛ i knew you had a heart. ❜ 

❛ can you look at me? please? ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ if you won’t take care of yourself, then who will? ❜

❛ you have something beautiful inside of you. it’s hard for some people to tell, but it’s there. ❜
