Assan does not like sitting still, you guys.

He remembers being very still in his egg for a very, very long time. He was very patient.

But now he’s out. And he doesn’t need anymore practice being patient, thank you very much.

“Davrin, he needs to learn some control,” says Manfred’s dad. He is one of Assan’s favorites. He plays with bones, and Manfred, and sometimes he smells like gingerwort truffles, or the dead things Assan likes to roll in.

“I found feathers in my alembic this morning,” he says, and Assan chirps proudly. He left them as a gift. How clever of Manfred’s dad to notice. He tries to perch on top of Manfred’s dad to show his appreciation. Manfred’s dad is very tall, and therefore ideal for perching upon. For some reason this is not appreciated. And Assan subsides. Really, he is already so patient.

He is also pretty.

He knows this because everyone tells him so.

“You’re so soft!” says the one who smells like trees and explosions as her fingers sink blissfully into Assan’s feathers. “I wonder how fast you’d be with more wings?” Assan liks her ideas. She is very exciting.

“Who’s a clever, pretty, lovely boy?” coos the one who is always surrounded by wisps. Assan chirps an answer, because it is him. And he is a clever boy. The wisps are fun to chase, and sometimes she steals him food from the den where Spite lives.

“Awwwwww,” says the small one that smells like earth and all the breath whooshes out of her tiny body as Assan curls on top of her. He tries to make himself as small as possible so as not to squish her. “You’re cute widdle face!” She wheezes, and squishes his face. Oh. She likes squishing. Very well. Assan will squish her more often.

“Hi Assan!” says the Leader. Assan knows they are the Leader, because Assan’s dad listens to them. So Assan must listen to them as well.

And they give very good hugs.

But the one Assan respects most is the dragon. No one else seems to realize they are a dragon. That’s silly. Assan knew from the moment he smelled their breath and heard the rumble in their chest. The sound of it stirs ancient, forgotten instincts deep in Assan’s gut. They even have the horns of a dragon.

Sometimes Assan will peek very cautiously around the corner of their den.

The horned head turns.

“Hey,” the dragon rumbles in greeting, and Assan is quick to scramble away and out of sight, thrilled with his own boldness.

All is well. Assan is a patient, pretty, clever, brave griffon.

And the dragon has not eaten him yet.

I don’t ask for much. Or for anything.

Just when I thought I couldn’t be down any worse for Neve Gallus, I saw this.

You’re a genius, OP.

if she looked at me like this, I would collapse (watermark is from my twt upload) 🖤

[linka-from-captain-planet]

one thing about Neve and Davrin is that they're basically the same height and yet Neve would still be drowning in his shirt 🤌

I'm not typically the type of person to treat the DA games like dating sims, but have you considered how kissable Neve Gallus is

[samsincerely]

There’s this one streamer who keeps talking about how veilguard has the “cringiest dialogue” and ngl it pisses me off. Idk who she is but she pops up on insta a lot for me and I just get so sick of this idea of pretentiously calling things cringe to discredit it but especially in this context for a few reasons.

I think a better word is perhaps awkward but this implies that it was written awkwardly but I think the writing is very intentional.

The only companions I would say sound awkward at times are Bellara, Taash, and Harding.

Emmrich always sounds composed and well spoken. Makes sense with his experience and confidence.

Davrin sounds a bit harsh at times but purposeful and passionate. He’s also very sure of himself and a man of action.

Neve also sounds thoughtful, intelligent, and sure of herself. She’s a questioner but analytical.

Lucanis is actually quieter but he’s intentional and most of his dialogue reflects his sharp focus on his hyper fixation job.

So why do the other three sometimes come off awkward? Well I think it’s very intentional in the characterization.

Harding is pretty unsure where she fits in with everything. She’s used to being a background character to Inky, Varric, and co but now she’s at the forefront of stopping the apocalypse and she’s got this new dwarf magic that shouldn’t even exist. And she’s a surface dwarf raised around humans. She doesn’t really come into her own until you resolve her personal quest where she really decides who she wants to be and how to honor what got her there.

Taash comes off brutish and rude in some cases. It’s clear that they’re so divided in their identity and insecure about themselves that they lash out at others. Taash says they want to join the team but the decision was made for them by their mother so they act out. Taash has been simultaneously babied and unsupported. Figuring themselves out also shows immense growth in how they interact with people.

And sweet Bellara. Girl lives in the woods and hyper fixates on ancient elven magic and works for at least a week at a time, alone. She doesn’t get much social interaction so while she’s not necessarily insecure she doesn’t second guess herself a lot in social situations because it’s not her expertise like magic and elven culture is. So yeah she should be awkward.

I just think the writing and voice acting of Veilguard shows so much love and respect for different kinds of people. It takes such a positive stance in such a scary time. I love it and haters should just say it’s not for them and move on instead of disparaging.

Came to a realization that I had to document
