Having aesthetic attraction to a character without a trace of any romantic or sexual feelings attached is so strange

It's like there's a guy (gn) on my screen. I like how he looks and the way he moves. I don't want to have sex with him, I don't imagine myself dating him or something of that sort. There's no physical reaction at all.

But there's this ephemeral urge to, I don't know, simultaneously gnaw on him like a bone, study him under a microscope, encase him in chrome and put in my living room, and watch him do the same gesture that ticked me on a loop for approximately three million times?

Does that make sense??

Davrin's Vallaslin

This is definitely not the first post about speculation on Davrin's vallaslin and I'm probably not the only person who has the same ideas but I wanted to write it down anyway.

Dav's vallaslin could either be June's or Ghilan'nain's and here's some good arguments for either:

Davrin's vallaslin is unique to him, Rook can't have it through the CC and there aren't other Dalish characters with it. The vallaslins in DAtV are the same as far as I know to the ones in DAI, probably to make it simple since you put your quizzie in. So this plays into the idea that clans have different designs from another - though ofc there will be similarities to the same gods.

June

The lines in Davrin's vallaslin is similar to the June vallaslin from DAI.

June was seen as the God of Craft, and whether or not Davrin sees himself as one - he's a skilled craftsman. He sketches and sculpts detailed figures with great accuracy. According to the art book his armor was designed with the idea that he customized it himself, so it represents him being a Warden, while also being utilitarian with his monster hunting job. Davrin is good with his hands (lol) and if this was something he's been good at since he was young, I see him choosing June.

Though being a craftsman isn't something he ended up dedicating his life to, he still carries it with him.

Ghilan'nain

While the lines in Davrin's vallaslin is more similar to June's, the shape and placement is nearly identical to the Ghilan'nain vallaslin from DAI.

It also features a lot of the shapes in Ghilan'nain's form - the horns, her pauldrons, the swooping lines reminiscent of her tentacles.

Eldrin said Davrin used to sing to the Halla when he was a kid. Despite his no-nonsense, dog eat world view of things now as an adult, it's obvious Davrin has always had a soft heart for animals. Despite swearing he's just Assan's (and the other griffons' bodyguard), he knows how to calm them, knows them all by name and cares deeply for them. He agrees with Taash when they say animals are better than people (disagree and not a big fan of the line myself lol but regardless).

Davrin's skill in training griffons, his expertise in hunting beasts and monsters possibly stemmed from his love of Halla as a kid. I even want to say his love for Halla jumpstarted his interests in animals, beasts and creatures. So it wouldn't be far off that he'd choose to dedicate his vallaslin to Ghilan'nain.

And that would be so narratively delicious - Davrin, with a dedication of Ghilan'nain permanently etched on his face, must kill her.

So who is the vallaslin?

Until a dev confirms, I think both options are good bets.

I'm leaning towards Ghilan'nain - because it's confirmed in canon lore that he's always loved Halla and animals, and narratively it's the best fit.

thought about Rook betraying Viago idea and wrote a lil bit. Don't know if I'll flesh this out, but it's cool. So I'm posting it

---

Viago knew Rook was planning something. Rook was colder, more distant, and private conversations with the First Talon signaled that Rook was planning something. Viago was expecting his most promising Crow to leave; either to join house Dellemorte or Antiva altogether.

Since the Dread Wolf was banished to the fade five years ago, he had watched Rook slowly change. Becoming more cold and closed off to those not considered friends or allies. Viago was told by one of his companions that Rook had lost his partner, the dwarven scout Harding, in the conflict. And he could see the toll the grief took on Rook and he had begun planning to deal with him if he ever became trouble.

On a cold night, Viago was retiring to his study. Unlocking his study, the Talon was surprised to see Rook. Back turned to Viago as he tended to the lit fireplace making the room unbearably warm. A long dagger stabbed into the dark wood of Viago's desk.

Rook tilted his head acknowledging the Talons presence. "Viago. Please sit. We have much to discuss."

"Rook? What is the meaning of this?!" Viago snapped and then flinched as the door behind him slammed shut. With one of Viago's own Crows blocking his only exit behind him.

Rook turned to the Talon, face half illuminated by the fireplace behind him. He pulled out the dagger from Viago's desk, leaning against the desk as he casually spun the blade in his hands. "Quite simple, Viago. House de Riva dies tonight. And you," He said, pointing his dagger at his former mentor, "Will choose if you die with it."

Rook: *Does something brilliant*

Viago: I thought you were an idiot?

Rook: it's all part of the facade! *accidently walks off the roof*
