When I see a conversation or quest marker on any of my companions:

[ID: reply from @tianlavellan saying “hey op i hope this isn't annoying please absolutely 100% ignore me if it is but - if you're willing to ramble about neve. make me like her? i'm so sad because i just don't care for her and i wish i diddddd please help me change my mind about her?”]

she’s SUCH a male character archetype, is i think what gets me

in veilguard every companion’s world adapts to the genre that the companion belongs to. dock town is constantly in a detective story, because neve lives there. (or neve is who she is because she lives in a detective story? food for thought.) but she doesn’t play the role women usually do in those stories. by rights she should be a femme fatale or a weeping widow or a dead body. instead, she’s the lead, the emotionally calloused private eye who smokes and can throw a punch, the protector of the people

and she gets to be so many other things that are in my experience usually only for male characters!! people respect her and rely on her without question, nobody surprised that she’s capable. she focuses on work while living off greasy fried food in a lonely apartment, none of which is presented as some kind of embarrassing failure of femininity, just what she’s chosen to value. she’s allowed to be suspicious, to make you work to win her trust, to withhold her forgiveness and supportive spells from you if she chooses, without being painted as a bitch for it. she gets to be the jaded lone wolf of the team! that’s crazy! it would be so easy to play her as an ice queen “strong independent woman” whose confidence never cracks, but instead they get the dry, cynical tone and tight hold on her emotions without denying that she has emotions or making her feel like less of a person who gets to have needs and griefs and worries too. they got a really good balance of how she clearly could use more support than she’s had, without it feeling like she needs a rescue. she can live without you, she just shouldn’t have to

she’s just so cool idk... i think she doesn’t reveal as much as easily as some of the other companions, but that’s why to me it feels so much more earned and interesting when she DOES open up

Every Companion's Hall of Valor Intro 🦜

Isabela becoming a WWE announcer was not on my Veilguard bingo card 😆

*After a romance scene and Solas finds out*

Solas: You did what?!

Solas: In front of MY fish?!

my favorite meow meows 🥺🥺

✨ my commissions are open! ✨

[housederiva]

I do really like the composition of the companion cards btw. Bellara and Taash on either side looking out then Davrin and Neve looking in and the other three looking forward is very chief's kiss

[lunian]

the thing I actually enjoy in Lucanis' romance is the companions' banter

Neve is always the best

[gallusneve]

I'm glad you're here.

[mostlycrash]

my absolute favourite thing about the Neve romance is being called Trouble

[dendroaspis-viridis]

Obsessed with the idea of Emmrich and Neve working together to track down a cut-purse corpse that's been shambling around Nevarra City's streets.

The fact that I caused her to have a scar makes me think deeply.
