sophia seeing cailan's body hanging there when they go back to ostagar, and suddenly all she can see even through the rot and the ruin is just how much he looked like alistair...... :'(

a mental image that totally will not haunt her through alistair's many years on the throne as rebellions and assassination attemps come and go. doesn't send her unhinged and unwise even a little

#I've never played back to ostagar before actually! getting some more delicious trauma for everyone #and also zev was there (affectionate)#oc: sophia amell #warden x alistair #dragon age #dragon age origins #the vibes are slightly weird in the dialogue in this dlc -- this uh. did not seem to be the relationship alistair and cailan had #such as it even was. but hey I got this angst out of it what more can I ask #I had sophia and alistair smooch on the platform place thingy where you meet him for the first time. I am a sap but I am free #what's that post about the unconquerable human spirit that's like 'despite all the horrors I am still horny' again. basically they're that #alistair is honestly The most pocket healed warrior of all time he's got two spirit healers who love him laser focused on him #at all times #(sophia switches between unleashing horrifying amounts of raw magical power on the enemy and going 'oh nooo let me see I'll fix it')#that boy is Protected. wynne and sophia glaring at you past his shoulders like 'he said no FUCKING pickles ok. last warning'#(actually probably sophia would glare at you from like. the height of his armpit; she's Short lol)#also partially why I had to change my canon b/c if alistair was left in the fade sophia would. she would quite simply end the world #long before solas had the time to. she would tear the veil to shreds to get to him. mind and circle mage restraint irretrievably lost #her greatest fear is becoming unmoored (which in many ways also means losing alistair) and everyone else should be afraid of that too #I do like how this playthrough is shaking out tho it feels like a more grown-up version of the story I told with them originally #more complicated and acknowledging the other forces pulling on them (when I was younger I liked the freedom of them both staying wardens)#but it just makes the 'we're sticking together *no matter what*' all the more satisfying and triumphant for me.#we'll find a way and if there is no way we'll fucking make it together :') and they do
