#Saved Sanja

[itsmistyeyedbi]

Quick question for people's twc detectives: in what ways have they changed for the better after meeting and joining ub? And have some aspects of them changed for the worse?👀

[fauville]

i'm totally fine about this btw

[oblivionsdream]

If I had the confidence of a ferret I would be unstoppable (or dead)

[kibellah]

it's actually nuts to me that we haven't been able to bring up A's "tu omnia"/"i wish it were only me" confession? like my detectives would not have kept their mouths shut about that. ESPECIALLY when you're on solo A route and they say that there's nothing between you two

[onewomancitadel]

I am curious how the choice between Sanja and the love interest went down in Book Two for other people: on my first playthrough, my pragmatic but also very compassionate and sentimental detective chose to save her over Adam, because I am not interested in playing a game which forces me to compromise characterisation for the sake of a romance path, and I thought that it would be a far more interesting romance if she does something he actually respects (also he's a vampire!) and wishes he could do himself but also probably wouldn't because he luuuurves her (also she is human lol). Like, it would not be as interesting to me if she is not somebody that he can respect.

I think that was probably my favourite moment in playing, outside of shooting him at the start, because I ended up being rewarded with the 'good' ending (I could make peace with the monsters which is my favourite thing all of the time ever) and the romance didn't forcefully close off.

Given my theory about the Rogues, I suspect that it's possible this choice will become recontextualised, but for that first playthrough it was fun.

[lalizah]

this made me laugh — please tell me about the straight up hater (no pressure ofc!) 🥰 (~agentnatesewell)

Hello lovely! So happy to see you!

Lol I imagine these two being so much more saltier and mean to each other it is literally the "girl who's nice to EVERYONE except for you" trope haha

Liz loves to think she's so straightforward and honest until she falls for Mason. Everyday in book 2 esp was just constantly complaining to Tina except Tina knew that that's Liz's way of talking more about him lol

Like "Did you see the stupid expression his stupid face made when I suggested- Why are you smiling like that?"

Tina and Verda are sipping their teas, side eyeing her while Liz rambles about how much she doesn't like him and how he's SO annoying lol

...and then makes sure her and Mason pass the most shaded part of town so he obviously doesn't complain about the sun and NOT because she cares. Nope, couldn't be her

They argue to hell and back, so many sarcastic quips flying left and right that Ava has to put them in timeout and seperates them in the SUV by having Liz sit in the front and Mason at the back. This is also a huge problem lmfao and Mason complains all the way, much to Nat's chagrin and Felix's amusement

The carnival date in my head is just Liz fighting Mason to sit on the most colorful unicorn on the carousel lmfao and he's petty and he doesn't give two shits about where to sit until Liz wants it 😂

It's only after Liz saves Sanja where both of them are forced to confront some feelings until they resort to their default dumbass settings with M being confused but not giving a shit and Liz just being in denial. So much denial. Girlie has been THROUGH it

Sorry for such a long essay lol I love thinking about them bickering and sniping long into their relationship but they must hold hands and be joined at the hip whilst they're doing it lol

Thank you for giving me an excuse to go crazy about my Masabeth brainrot haha

[acealistair]

Spent most of my Veilguard time yesterday just trying to nail down my main Rook (started the game 3 times lmao), and I finally settled on Nerida de Riva, an elf mage Crow who I honestly keep forgetting is a formally trained mage bc of how rogue-y she is 😂

She's brash, snarky, and arguably overconfident in her abilities lol, which has made the convos with Solas so fuckin funny fhdndkdks... But ultimately she very much wants to help people (and if she can look flashy while saving the world that's just a bonus) and she is a pretty natural leader.

I'm probably gonna romance either Davrin or Lucanis with her but nothing's set in stone! Gonna see who she naturally has good chemistry with.

I also already made my secondary worldstate Rook, Sanja Ingellvar, a prim-and-proper Mourn Watch elf rogue. She has a whole complex about how her necromancer adoptive parent(s) expected her to be a mage but she never manifested any powers. Gonna play Nerida first but she'll be waiting after I finish my first playthrough!

Pics to come soon!

dni twc edition (for legal reasons this is a joke xx love u)

dni if you think M has curly hair, think Bobby Marks is fine as fuck, haven't kissed M yet, didn't kiss Adam, wish there was a Falk romance route, are postponing a relationship with N/F for as long as possible, didn't go along with Rebecca's plan for the auction, told Sin to be free instead of recruiting him, think a future villain will be our 'dead' auntie dearest, saved Sanja over the LI without hesitation, think Murphy is fine as fuck, fail stat checks out of curiosity, are getting M to quit smoking and finally dni if you think N speaks your first language (if non English).

how many did you get?

[itsmistyeyedbi]

Where's that one ask that says that if Unit Bravo had the opportunity to become human again, M and N would take it and A and F wouldn't?

Because this kinda aligns with that:

When you go to save Sanja with either N and M or A and F, these are the options that show up (respectively).

*this is the option that checks the people stat btw

did the save n route at the end of b2 (sanja dies variant) and. it's good. but why would i choose this when i could see n injured and bleeding u know?

[sustainably-du-mortain]

Hi!! I hope you're having a good day <333 For Jonah, from the emoji ask game: collision, milky way, and knife, please?

Hi!!!! Thank you so much for the ask!!!

💥COLLISION: what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

Love. Love hurt him so much in the past that he's scared of it. So he was avoiding it like the plague until Adam and Nate came around. He's got no idea how to deal with it because even though it scares him greatly, he can't help but crave it. He who was broken by love. Who was denied love as a child. Who doesn't know how to let others love him. But he who only wants one thing: to be able to let other people in without breaking again.

🌌MILKY WAY: what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Oh gosh, it's been years since I've created Jonah, I don't know if I remember correctly, but essentially, I think I wanted an OC who was going to be the exact opposite of me. I was watching How to get away with murder around the time I started twc, so the perfect inspo for a character like that was Jack Falahee's character in the show: Connor Walsh. (This is also the main reason Jack Falahee is my face claim for Jonah) But what really helped me give Jonah more layers so that he wasn't just a mean, sarcastic asshole was his backstory with Bobby. I vividly remember being on the train, on my way to uni, listening to Years & Years's Karma and thinking 'THAT'S THE SONG FOR THEM'. Coming up with his backstory with Bobby really sparked the whole thing of trying to see how that would have affected his personality, how he has grown from it, etc... (I hope this makes sense)

🔪KNIFE: how do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame?

Jonah doesn't deal well with anything happening to his people. His immediate reaction to his people being injured or anything is a mix of panic, overprotectiveness and blame. Panic and overprotectiveness because he knows that the people surrounding him can protect themselves, especially UB, so knowing that something got to them makes him rush back to them. He worriedly take in their state before turning on his overprotective mode to make sure nothing else happens and makes their state worse. When the situation quiets down, he instantly starts blaming himself for it. He will torture himself with all the ways he could have prevented the accident, especially if he made a choice that led to this situation. *cough* the Sanja accident where he chooses to save her because he knows that was the most rational thing to do but feeling oh so guilty for the state in which Adam and Nate end up *cough*

OC emoji ask

it’s cold & it’s quiet

rating: teen

relationships: felix / the detective

warnings: mentions of neglect

summary: It’s hard, looking at Felix, for the Detective not to wonder how much of the worst parts of their mother are echoed in them.

Vampires heal so fast, and Quinn is glad of it.  They’re glad that the pain doesn’t last too long, they’re glad that so many of the people they love can survive so much and only ache for a few hours or a few days.  They’re glad, whenever they glance at Felix, that he’s smiling, free of pain, that the horrors the Trappers inflicted on him haven’t left scars.

Quinn is glad that Felix isn’t suffering.  But it seems unfair, somehow, that Felix’s healing means that Quinn got off easy, too.

It’s too easy to forget, or for Quinn’s always-guilty conscience to push the memories away, when they look at the man they love more than anything in the world and the wounds they all-but inflicted are disappeared as if they never were at all.  But their battered mind can’t forget — won’t forget — his fear as the Trappers cornered and hurt him.  The pleading in his face, save me, save me, don’t leave me.

And their battered mind can’t forget that they left him, anyway.

It worked out — Felix survived, safe and, after some time to recover, no worse for the wear, and they still saved Sanja, cementing the treaty — and it feels so selfish, that Quinn could do that and have there be so few consequences.  Felix should be angry with them.

The thought alone has their shoulders hiking beneath their cardigan.  He should be angry, but they’re not sure they could bear it if he was.

Felix, as though sensing their gaze, glances up from the papers he’s bent over with Nat, a smile stealing across his mouth when his eyes land on Quinn.  It falls a moment later once he processes their anxious expression.  He says something to Nat, too soft for Quinn to hear, who glances up at the Detective, also seems to take in their look, and then nods to Felix.  Felix shoots her a grateful grin and then makes his way across the living room to settle at his partner’s side on the couch.  Quinn smiles weakly, but doesn’t make to lean on him or take his hand the way they might normally.  They just watch Nat across the room, studying the documents in front of her with a focus that Quinn would admire in another situation.

They wonder if she’s angry at them, for endangering her family.  The thought prompts Quinn to draw their legs closer, knees to their chest.  Their arms drape loosely around their legs, fingers tangling against the fronts of their ankles.

There’s concern heavy in Felix’s voice when he asks, “you okay, babe?”

Quinn’s heart is too huge and open for lying to loved ones to ever seem to work, but they murmur, not looking away from Nat, “Mhm.”

There’s a hand against their chin, Felix tucking it gently between his thumb and forefinger as he turns their face towards his.  Guess it didn’t work this time, either.  “C’mon.  You’re usually bursting at the seams with cheer.  Or at least chatter.  What’s going on?”

His hand drops from their chin and settles on their leg.  Felix is too kind of blame them, but Quinn’s so — so hurt, now.  So fragile.  It’s not a lie when they say, “I’m just — thinking about my mom.”

His eyes widen.  Felix has never really meddled in the relationship between Quinn and Rebecca, which Quinn appreciates; things between the two of them are complicated and messy enough.  Quinn barely understands what they want from her; one minute they want to get closer, they really do, and the next they look at her and just seem the faceless woman who abandoned them.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

And they do.  They do.  They can’t bear to.  “— There was this birthday I had once,” Quinn mutters, head lowering until they’re practically talking into their knees.  “I guess it’s the same story for all of my birthdays, though.  I was turning six or seven or something like that in this one, though, and she’d promised me that she’d make it to this one.  She missed a lot of birthdays — she’d show up, sure, but only for a few minutes before I’d get shuffled off to this or that nanny.  I knew it was for work, and I — I hurt and I hated her so much.  For always choosing the mission over me.”

“Babe, I’m so —”

“And I’m realizing what a hypocrite I am.”  There’s a bitter laugh on their mouth and more bite to the words than they’d intended.  Felix stiffens, eyes widening, and Quinn does the same — they’re typically trying so hard to be cheerful and hopeful, if only because looking their terror in the face would break them, that it feels strange to hear the alternative in their voice.  Their eyes squeeze shut as their head starts to throb, head ducking, teeth gritting.  They feel Felix’s hand leave their leg; instead, it wraps around their fingers, gentle.

“You’re not a hypocrite for being hurt that your mom wasn’t around,” He says, voice soft.  Their head shakes.  When their eyes open, Felix is looking back to Nat — Quinn glances over just in time to see her leave, either done with her work or just giving them privacy.  Quinn feels another splice of guilt as they look back to Felix.

“But I —”  They inhale shakily.  “I’m just as bad as her.  Or worse.  I chose the mission over you.”

Felix’s eyes search theirs for a moment, not understanding.  Realization strikes a moment later, and those gold eyes widen, lips parting.  He looks dazed.  Quinn can hear their words babbling, too fast, out of their mouth before they realize they’re speaking.

“I saw — I saw how scared you were, how much you wanted me to help you, how much you needed me, and I still — I still abandoned you.”  Their voice breaks.  “I still saved Sanja over you —”

“Babe — Wynne, hey, shh...”  The words are sincere but a little rote, like he can’t quite get back into this moment, like he’s confused about what this moment is at all.  He tries their name instead of their nickname this time.  “Quinn, look at me.  You were just following your —”

“My mother was just following her orders, too!” Quinn says, voice and heartbeat going louder with their pain.  “You were scared and alone and I abandoned you, and I — I’ve got no right to be mad at Rebecca when I’m worse than she ever was!”

“Hey, hey,” Felix says, and he seems to focus properly, hands moving to gently cup their cheeks.  The contact is enough to halt Quinn’s speech, but it also pushes them over the edge; when they blink, guilty tears fall down their cheeks.  “Breathe.  Wynne, stay with me.  Take a breath and look at me, okay?”

“And now I’m making you comfort me even though you should be angry at me —”

“You’re not making me do anything,” Felix interjects, heart breaking.  He doesn’t know why he’s surprised; why it never occurred to him that the same detective that always prioritizes others’ safety, that so often blames themself for others’ hurt, would feel guilty like this.  Quinn is so bright and so kind and so good — it hurts, to see them miss that kindness, darkening their own light with unearned accusations of cruelty.  He says, “Listen, first of all, I get to decide how I feel about you, not you.  You’re not making me comfort you and you can’t make me hate you.  I’m in love with you, and that’s never gonna change.”

The detective’s eyes squeeze shut as if they’re in pain.

“And, like — you’re the first person who’s ever — it’s just understood, that everybody prioritizes the mission.  Some of us are better at it than others, but none of us expect anything different.  Just that you wanted to save me instead of Sanja is already — nuts.”  He doesn’t get the chuckle out of them that he’d hoped.

“It was — cruel and selfish,” Quinn whispers.  “You give me everything and I —”

“Y’know what’s really cruel and selfish?  That I’m glad, deep down, that this hurts you so much.”  Now Quinn’s eyes snap open, staring at him with confusion and almost-hope.  The hope aches in a way that’s physical, and he’s quick to strike down their desire for him to be angry with them.  “Not because I’m mad, but because if this hurts you that much, you must really, really love me.”

Quinn winces, head dipping again, but they shift a little closer, their hands raising to perch gently on his wrists.  “I do.  I do, so much.”

“I know.  I never doubted that, Wynne.  And I love you so much.”  He rubs his thumbs across the highs of their cheeks, over the freckles he loves kissing so much.  “— It was scary when I realized you were going for Sanja instead of me.  But I didn’t feel like you were abandoning me.  I felt like you were just trying to protect people, like you always do.  And if we’d lost Sanja ‘cause you saved me, I’d feel pretty shit then, too.”

Quinn’s head shakes, but he can see the panic ebbing, just barely.  He’s gotten good at looking for it.  “I shouldn’t have left you,” they whisper.  “I never want you to come second to the mission.  I’ll never, ever do that to you again.”

Felix smiles gently, hearing the catch in the voice.  That’s a declaration that might make Ava stiffen, but he’s never doubted that whatever Quinn does is the right thing.  “I believe you.”  They nod, barely.  “And I don’t know enough about Rebecca as a mom to give any insight there, aside from knowing that she missed out on the chance to raise the great person you grew into.  But you’re you.  Not her.  You’re good.”  Their head shakes in his hands, but only barely.  “You’re good.  And we’re okay.”

Quinn’s stiff in his arms, but he’s patient, and used to the way they freeze when they feel too much, used to helping them off the cliff of their fear or guilt.  He just wishes the guilt wasn’t about him.

He gives them a few minutes, thumbs brushing away the tears, until their breathing evens out and their shoulders have stopped shuddering.  Then, carefully, he pulls them into a tender hug.  They return it, after a moment, hands resting against his back.

“I’m sorry,” Quinn says, softly.

“Uh-uh, none of that.  You didn’t do anything wrong.”

They’re silent for a beat.  “I...I mean it, when I say I’ll never do that again.  You’re the priority, okay?  You’re always gonna be my priority.”

His heart sings and swells at that, despite the morbid topic that prompted it.  He’s never been anyone’s priority, let alone the best person ever’s priority.  His hand rubs up and down their back.  “I know.  I love you.”  Again.  “We’re okay.”

Another shuddering inhale from his detective, as if they’re gathering strength.  “—— Thank you.  I’m so in love with you.”

The declaration makes his heart sing, too.  His head tilts to press a kiss to their hair.  “No problem, babe.”
