Questions from [here]

3. What was their first impression of each other?

Honestly I don’t Malinda very well yet either (she’s an Aeducan for context though) and I’m still working her out 😂 and she’s still pretty new so anything I say about her may completely change still BUT

Malinda first thinks Alistair seems quite capable at dealing with people because he stands up for himself during the original introduction, followed immediately by uncertainty because he then starts joking about things and she’s just not sure what to think.

Alistair thinks she’s very small and he’s impressed with her braided hair (and he continues to be). He’s also curious where Duncan met her and he thinks she’s very well spoken and clear and can tell she a little reluctant to talk about where she came from and can’t quite work out how she feels about leaving (mostly because she’s very intentionally trying to hide it).

So basically they’re both impressed and confused by each other and can te there’s more there that they need to (want to?) find out :)

30. What are their respective love languages? Do their love languages work well together?

I’m always bad at remembering what these even are 🙈 but I think both of them work pretty well together and enjoy just spending time together with casual physical touches. They’ve both been through a lot and they’ve both helped each other so a lot of healing and enjoy just being able to feel safe and comfortable together

been thinking a lot about Malinda and Alistair but it’s also occurred to me that there’s absolutely nothing stopping me from having Malinda x Alistair x Carver and I’m very tempted 👀

I'm gonna give you a ship you've never talked about just for funsies: Leliana x Cassandra

ohh interesting 👀 thank you Olivia!! 😁

ship ask game

Don’t ship it

1. Why don’t you ship it?

I think… I’m honestly just not invested enough in either character. I actually don’t like Cassandra much and I’m pretty neutral on Leliana (I love her just… not enough that my brain spends a lot of time thinking about her outside of my characters/events). And when I think about them, it just feels like a work relationship/coworkers who are maybe friends more than anything else.

2. What would have made you like it?

maaaybe if I’d been able to interested in either of them in relationships outside of each other too? I’ve made 2 wardens now who were meant to romance Leliana and they always end up with somebody else (Shayla with Zevran and Malinda with Alistair) and I never got into Cassandra’s romance either. And maybe I liked Cassandra more too but idk. I feel like maybe it’s just a “there’s nothing wrong with it but it’s not for me” ship 😅

3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

I can definitely see why somebody could like it! There’s a lot of potential there for a badass power couple bonding over their connection to the chantry and being high ranking officials in a major organisation trying to save the world together which is a super interesting potential dynamic 😊
