#THAT TOOK FOREVERRRR

[elegaeica]

QUICK RUNDOWNS OF MY DRAGON AGE CHARACTERS:

sura tabris, dual dagger rogue. a near exact - copy of her late mother, oldest daughter syndrome but specifically towards her cousins soris and shianni. joins the wardens primarily to save them from the consequences of her actions in teagan's castle. a sweetheart that's rough around the edges because the world she lives in forced her to be. went with zevran to antiva to help his plan to reclaim the crows and to see the world.

amaya surana, battlemage. ambitious from head to toe, groomed to be irving's successor from a young age. double crossed jowan to irving in an attempt to prove her loyalty to the circle and instead got herself in deeper trouble. just trying to make the world better for mages everywhere. isolationist who believes mages should have their own place away from the rest of the world but... tevinter isn't an option for her as an elf for obvious reasons. returns to the circle following the end of the blight and eventually becomes first enchanter before the mage rebellion.

naya amell, shapeshifter. tired, just very tired and trying to keep her head down and survive in the circle. hoping to become the arcane advisor to some bann or arl in the future. helps jowan genuinely out of fear for her friend. very kind, but very weary. she goes to weisshaupt after the blight and lives as a warden because she really has nowhere else to go. partakes in awakening and later takes stroud's place in inquisition.

aliena brosca, two - handed warrior. a golden heart beneath many many layers of stone erected to protect herself because of the world she was raised in. very angry at the world for everything that has been done to her and her sister for the mere circumstances of their birth. casteless turned paragon but unable to return to orzammar because of the memories and mother that wait there. travels with shale and wynne to minrathous to restore shale's mortality.

aurelia aeducan, sword & shield warrior. the favored aeducan sibling above both of her brothers by all of orzammar and the assembly and hated by both of them because of it. framed for trian's murder by bhelen, who she thought loved her. wise, just, and clever, she manages to get herself elected as queen by the assembly instead of either harrowmont or bhelen, and returns to orzammar to act as its queen after the blight.

aravas mahariel, bow & arrow rogue. the cautious voice of reason that tried to convince tamlen to leave the ruins, quiet and clever and so so guilty over tamlen's fate. can't return to the clan after the blight because of the guilt and fear, but can't stay with the wardens because of the trauma. fakes her own death after slaying the archdemon and continues to travel through thedas. very "can't settle anywhere because she's running from something and not towards" energy.

mina hawke, force mage. oldest daughter syndrome cranked to 100. combination of sarcastic and diplomatic personality. brought carver down to the deep roads with her and brought him to the wardens. allied with the mages throughout her time in kirkwall, killed the arishok, killed anders. desperately just trying to keep everything from falling apart and slowly losing the battle. keeping up a positive exterior while enduring a decade - long panic attack.

victorine trevelyan, dual - dagger rogue. believes herself to be andraste's chosen until she is violently proven otherwise in the battle at adamant and her fall into the fade where she has an aggressive crisis of faith. confident and silver - tongued, she's an amazing inquisitor who knows how to wield the power she's been given. commits the inquisition to the chantry rather than fully disbanding it.

nicolette trevelyan, knight - enchanter mage. thedas' equivalent of walking talking catholic/andrastian guilt. was born a mage and has spent her entire life trying to atone for that fact. one bad day away from a nervous breakdown, constantly asking "are you mad at me" and has to slowly grow a spine throughout the events of inquisition. disbands the inquisition after trespasser.

maella lavellan, rift mage. clan lavellan's first who was just supposed to be checking out wtf was going on with this damn war and get an estimation for how much longer they would have to avoid human settlements and instead got roped into this chantry cult. unwilling martyr/saint figure who very much protests any and all reference to her being the herald of andraste. disbands the inquisition after trespasser and goes into quasi-hiding after the fact, living with the dalish clan encountered in the emerald graves. (maella's romance of solas is important to her character development - i won't forceship with any solas writers, but her past romance with him will likely be referenced in interactions with other characters)

Why don't you wait and give it to me on my birthday? Then I'll have to wait for half a year. It's too long. Half a year is too long? Think about how long I waited for you. "Too long." You don't want it? Then I'll take it back. Heyyy, fine, you win.

Hi so to another blog, I sent in the request for gymteacher!patrick but now that I think about it, I feel like he’s one of those adults who secretly hates kids fgccjjjgffhhhj. It’s the whole vibe I got from whenever he was talking to Tashi and Lily was brought up like yeah he could say he feels awkward about the fact those two had a kid…….but I also just feel he hates kids 💀. It’s giving “fuck them kids, and fuck you too!”

ohhh i actually love the gymteacher!patrick hcs you sent @saintzweig. mars ate that up. if you haven’t read that, go do that!!!

i am inordinately fond of the idea that patrick doesn't like children because he can't wrap his mind around them as a concept. a tiny being who is still developing? continually learning about life? dependent on the people around them? it's overwhelming for him to process any of it, but it's all he can think about it in their presence. it also drums up the memories of his own childhood he'd rather forget. feelings he thought he long buried, but persist against his inclination.

so by proxy...i love the idea of elementary school teacher! patrick who took the job because it was his only choice. patrick who has been down on his luck and desperately needs to find a stable source of income, at least for the time being. teaching is not his first choice (and he's damn sure he is going to lose his mind), but it's the only job he could find that pays well. if he's going to be miserable anyway, he reasons he may as well be getting a paycheck out of it.

he goes in, does his job, and leaves. the other teachers are a bore, and he's to uneasy around the children to actually get close with them. ironically, his supposed indifference to the children makes them love him even more. he chocks it up to the childish curiosity of wanting to know more about the new, distant teacher, but the truth? they just like him. they like the way his language isn't filtered and how he mumbles under his breath. even the way he never breaks into that primordially passively assertive voices the other teachers have or never seems to have a solid plan. his behavior is new and captivating, but also makes him feel like an equal. in a way, patrick isn't a teacher they want to impress, but a friend they want to make. so while his goal was to avoid having any of these kids form an attachment to him, he's failed extraordinarily.

not to say he can avoid forming any attachments himself. i mean he sees these kids everyday, it's only natural to feel some sort of connection to them. it doesn't have to mean anything (at least this is what he tells himself). so what if he knows how to tie Lucy's shows the way she likes it when they come undone during soccer. or remembers to remind Aiden to take off his glasses before it's time for dodgeball. he's perceptive with details. basically has something in his head for every student, but wouldn't anyone notice (well again...what he tells himself). he's allowed to take some interest in their lives, learn about what they like or think. it's not a crime, nor does it have to mean anything. this is just a job and he still doesn't like children (he's started to repeat this to himself like a mantra).

the year goes on and his interest expands, much to his displeasure. they're growing on him, he can't deny it. he cares for all of his students, and while the concept of children still makes him uneasy, he's been able to push it down. focus on the joy the kids bring in the moment, rather than what their existence means for him. he enjoys being around all of them. especially the little, quiet kid who doesn't really talk much. always a little behind in gym, but really is sweet. and i mean just wait until he meets you...that kid's mom.
