I keep imagining the whole 'I'm still here sequence from treasure planet' scenario that must have gone down between rye and varric before the game starts and rye with their wide newly hopeful eyes like 'boy hope no one weaponizes this rare warm safe nurturing relationship in my life that makes me feel real and alive for the first time in so long against me in some of the cruelest and most premeditated ways imaginable somewhere down the line because that would sort of wreck me as a person maybe'. and then I don't feel so bad about where I'm headed

#rye is a lot less outwardly sulky than beloved character from my childhood treasure planet jim hawkins #(in hindsight. very much in the '...oh no it me.../want to be them' end of the queer experience haha)#but otherwise. so many things track here fhksaj #I inadvertantly set this up so solas really hit like a SCALPEL at rook's tender places. true tactical nuke psychological warfare stuff #that part at the beginning of the fade prison where the corpse on the ground flashes from lucanis to varric is like.#yeah if you wanted the two (2) things that would make rye lose his marbles irrevoccably and violently you hit on them exactly!#well done solas you build your own executionered this one with unerring precision fhskja #dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #Dynamic: That my keen knife see not the wound it makes #oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar #the fact that varric for all his flaws for all the regrets he carried around with him like heirlooms everywhere he went #he still did something so good for rook it helped them *live* and helped them live with their own regrets later. emotions. feelings
