me @ 6 am with no sleep: *gremlin giggle*

[whispers-of-lilith]

I think it's time I break the news to my uterus. Our relationship is far too toxic. I no longer want to be uter-"us", but rather, she should get her ass out & get used to being uter-"i"

[mctwinkdom]

They're onto something

My hand finally heals and that’s the first thing that I draw as exercise…

You ever think about how in spite of knowing their exact locations, the game never gives any indication that templar Carver has reported his mage sibling, Merril (a blood mage) or Anders (an abomination) to his superiors?

I do think about that a lot, even though I tend to ignore the Templar Carver route because I know Warden Carver to be true in my heart and soul... but I totally get the appeal of Templar Carver within DA2's narrative, y'know?

It's so fascinating, really. I've never played a run with Templar Carver, I just can't bring myself to do it, so I know I'm missing out on smaller details of it. From what I do know, this drives me crazy in the best way possible.

Deciding whether to bring him or not to the Deep Roads is such an important choice, not only because it affects his fate, but how it affects his relationship to Hawke. He tells you that he wants to go, he makes it very clear that it's important to him that he goes, too... and Hawke can just leave him behind and it hurts him. I don't think that registers enough with some people just because of how Carver is, like it doesn't matter what Hawke's motivations are [staying behind for his safety, not wanting to bring him, thinking someone should stay with Leandra, etc] it still hurts him because it tells him that Hawke doesn't need him, and Carver wants to be needed.

And yes, there are other contributing factors to why he joins the templars, but it doesn't matter what your relationship is to him, it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't turn Hawke or his companions in.

Sure, the meta reason is it's a video game and you're playing the main character. You're never in any actual danger of being captured by templars, and you're not going to lose your companions to them that easy.

But if we look at it through the narrative and Carver's character, that's when it gets interesting. You can max out his rivalry and be an utter asshole to him [there's a point where you can call him a brat and mock him for being stuck in your shadow, like Hawke can be real cruel about it] but it doesn't matter, you're still his sibling. He even makes a remark about how you might not know what that means [referring to leaving him behind] but he does. He refuses to kill Hawke in the end when Meredith makes the order, too.

Which can I just point out that Hawke has the option to let Bethany die in the end if she's with the circle and they side with the templars? Just saying, Carver NEVER does that no matter what, but Hawke has the option to betray Bethany like that and it's fucked and interesting and it makes me want to eat my chair-

As for Merrill and Anders, I think he knows that if he turns either of them in, then the chances of Hawke being brought in as well skyrocket. They're all friends, they're in the same group... bring one in, and you'll probably get the other two.

I also think Carver just genuinely likes Merrill. Yes, I'm a Carver/Merrill shipper, so I have a bias, but even if you remove anything romantic from their dynamic I believe that's true. Of all the companions, Merrill is the only one who doesn't make fun of him, or find him annoying, in party banters. He never snaps back at her, like he's never defensive with her, he's just a little awkward and nice.

Like, HE'S SO NICE TO HER! He tries to find common ground with her! She asks him about "swording" and he's taken aback by her saying he's good at it, but you KNOW that if someone like Anders asked him the same question, he's be all, "shut up, you're stupid, stop talking to me >:["

Think back to that banter Carver can have with Aveline post-act 1 where they're talking about how the guard wasn't the right place for him [hard disagree with you there, Aveline] and Carver says he was a bit of a tit, wasn't he.... and every companion will agree except Merrill. She doesn't say anything, whereas other companions like Anders will be like "ugh maker YES" and if you have a purple Hawke, they'll go on to other ways Carver was a tit like?? I think Carver and Merrill got along and he doesn't want to turn her in because she was nice to him! And she's a blood mage! He knows what will happen to her if the templars get ahold of her! He doesn't want to see her made tranquil or killed!

At that point, he's witnessed what bad blood mages can do, assuming you've brought him along for those quests, but even so. He knows Merrill isn't like that and he likes her, so of course he's not going to turn her in despite that being his literal duty.

Then there's Anders who Carver doesn't like. If you're in a romance with him, Carver will tell him that's why he doesn't turn him in but c'mon Carver, you know that's not the only reason. My theory is Carver may not like Anders and he knows the man's got a spirit of justice inside of him... but Anders also runs a free clinic. If he's ever taken in by templars, then so many people [including a LOT of Fereldan refugees] will be without free health care and will suffer for it. I think in Carver's eyes, Anders might be irritating but he doesn't more good than harm. Carver knows first hand how shitty refugees and poorer people are treated in Kirkwall. Anders' clinic is the one place they can go for help and actually get it, and he's not going to be the one to take that away because the templars say "magic bad."

So yeah, I'm not as informed about the Templar Carver route, but I do think about how if I did do that route, he wouldn't betray Hawke or their companions no matter what and what that says about him.

So, some teaser clips of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice dropped today and I’m just watching this one on repeat while internally going FERAL as I count down the days.

Can September just GET HERE ALREADY?!

Hello fellow Heatshadow enjoyer! We seem to be rare, so it's nice to meet you! What do you like about the couple? And what are your favorite things about Quickshadow herself?

hi there!!! I choked on air while inhaling after I saw your question cuz I got so excited- nice to meet you as well!

I’m not sure if you’re asking for headcanons, I’ll put them down below as more but I’ll throw out the main points that are seemingly canon about these two!

So what I love love LOVEEE about them is that:

- they bring out each others competitive sides, they seem serious about it but really they’re just having fun

- they’re mean to each other but it’s literally their love language

(Fishing for evidence at this point by rewatching the series)

(Ok im back)

- one of them is always trying to find the other and it’s so funny like two cats looking for each other then immediately hissing and slapping each other (affectionately). Like when they were at the training center- Quickshadow could have gone to ANYONE ELSE but somehow off screen she and Heatwave end up walking together (my thoughts on their motives are delulu but it’s probably trululu)

- THEY DEFINITELY MISS EACH OTHER: “I thought perhaps you missed me, Heatwave” yes, yes he did miss u so much he cried himself to recharge when you left

I’ve decided that I’m gonna make a separate post of headcanons for these two so it’s a bit more organized

I love Quickshadow just overall because she’s literally the Cybertronian female James Bond (and a Cybertronian femme in general) likeeee where all the robo girlies atttt

She’s just so good at everything (besides leading people) and she handles social situations so well, she also handles being the only femme on the team and over time is really fun to be around

I didn’t think I would get this much out of the crevices of my brain cells 😍 Ty for the questions!

I’m taking a walk in the park and we’ve had maybe 1/2 inch of snow and there are are tweens out with a toboggan sliding down a little hill, and I was thinking to myself “wow omg that’s so cute! I’ve never seen kids actually do that in real life!” then one of them broke the cute illusion by yelling to the other one: NOT LIKE THAT YA FUCKIN PUSSY!!
