self-indulgent au thought of the day: twd maeve would get along best with dale at the beginning and be utterly devastated by his death

[mcousland]

i truly cannot decide which trio is funnier from a purely visual perspective. maeve/dietrich/grey where it's two rays of sunshine and the dour bastard between them, or maeve/dietrich/ilya where it's the bright little lady flanked by two resting-"we can kill you in a second flat"-face men.

[mcousland]

apoc au scene of maeve displaying her quick-thinking and deceptive abilities when things start ramping up in tension by slyly whipping out her old wedding ring and pulling the grieving widow act to gain enough attention (be it from sympathy or anger) to make an opening for her friends to take advantage of

self-indulgent imagining of mila in the inquisitor greer world state just to think about her hearing the news of a circle mage being put into such a high position of power and becoming overwhelmed by the weight of that for a few minutes

[mcousland]

funny to think about mila's first kisses with the other wardens being like

sylarre: touch & affection starvation finally being seen to, gratifying and sensual

rhian: gesture of communicating that trust & care are finally well established, romantic and sweet

gwyn: in the midst of a makeout with both of them and sylarre, heated and exciting

miss warden mage has been named mila and i’ve decided she’s a rift mage because i think it’s sexy of her to maneuver enemies around the battlefield so her allies can get the upperhand in a fight

3am lady warden mage thoughts that may change later who knows

was brought into the circle at a very young age after having a small outburst of cold magic in public

had a baby somewhere around the age of,,, 17?18?? as a result of Relations with another mage. she got to spend one day with her baby boy before he was taken away; not long after that the mage that she had hooked up with disappeared as well, no explanation was given but she assumed the worst.

those events resulted in a complete loss of faith in both the maker and the system of the chantry & circle, domino effects over the years into a Very Angry lady who hurts at every injustice done to her and her fellow mages.

somewhere around the age of 25-26 she's approached by a young apprentice who trusts in her enough to reveal that she is with child and is terrified of the consequences because the father is a templar. lady warden decides Fuck This bc she sees so much of herself in the girl and enacts the escape plan she'd been working in for well over a year at that point to escort the apprentice from the tower and try to get her to safety. some time later they get caught by templars (before or after the birth idk) and lady warden is not long from being executed when warden sylarre saves her life by whipping out the rite of conscription.

not as outwardly aggressive with her hatred for the circle/templars/etc as somebody like greer, more like having a constant simmering anger below the surface whenever they're mentioned or on the mind.

never felt at home in the circle after The Events, but was able to find that comfort with the wardens despite all of the obvious cons that come with being one of them. is a Little bit reluctant to recruit wardens because of those cons but doesn't cause too much of a fuss about it unless the situation really steams her nuggets.

is either a rift mage or a knight-enchanter, not sure which yet. specializes in cold magic because it's sexy and i think she deserves it

put on the warden's mage armor for the first time and immediately started checking herself out in the closest reflective surface, that's an important detail trust me

[mcousland]

oh no i’m dangerously close to making this new warden v sad

[mcousland]

actually that does make me think more about an emma flaw that i didn't predict but has manifested the more i think about it, being emma's,,,, naivety?? when it comes to how wounded she is when learning people keep things from her, or they change and pull away. because for what is essentially all of her life, emma has lived with a family that is open with each other and talks about things frequently (because of both mom's distaste for lying and dad's belief of being open and honest). merrill pulling away from her was the first instance of it and easily the worst, but it extends to little moments with her party members and such as well. and it's just so interesting thinking about things from that,,,Perspective of a little lady who has only ever known being Open and Honest with others, trying to comprehend and learn that not everyone subscribes to those beliefs or is even capable of them

[mcousland]

sits here thinking about merrill walking away from emma after their small chat and her quietly wiping away a tear or two some moments later as she deals with the weight of how much she misses being able to just talk with her brother without fear of judgment or worry that he was bullied into talking with her in the first place
