one of the most important vivienne lines if you want to understand her character

The Milfs/Dilfs of Dragon Age (Veilguard edition)

I'm currently selling these as stickers and donating all earnings to Eman Abuhayya's gfm to help the remaining members of her family evacuate Gaza - or donate to her directly here!

I instantly knew the pose reference before reading the caption! So good!!!

A very quick study of John Singer Sargent’s “Portrait of Madame X,” except with Vivienne.  Because, you know- fandom trash.

Are you all right, my dear? Were you hurt? You look dreadful.

100% support the devs on doing what they need to to balance gameplay, and i'm excited to try the new combat system, but I'll miss the surprise additions to chatter.

Dragon Age: Inquisition The Imperial Enchanter

"Madame Vivienne, I humbly beg your pardon!" "You should."

[celestefox13]

.... Anyone else flashback to the banters between Solas and Bull in Inquisition where they played a mental chess game and Solas won because of a play with a pawn? And how he slowly inched that pawn across the board during those banters? (Like he positions Rook and helps slowly "inch" them across the "board" to checkmate the Gods?)

Or about the banters between Solas and Sera about the Friends of Red Jenny, and how he couldn't really wrap his mind around the group's entire goal just being help in small ways without any significant goal truly in mind? (Like how he couldn't wrap his mind around facing, accepting, and processing regrets the way Rook does to escape the Fade prison because he's always thinking too big picture and grand purposes)

Or, perhaps one of the most interesting, the banters between Solas and Varric about Orzammar and how it is in the current time of the games? (And how all the questions Solas asks echoes or points to both what happened to the Elvhen empire and what he intends to do to try to fix his mistake?)

Or the banter where Viv asks if Solas enjoys seeing himself as the villain? And their banters discussing the Circle, and Viv's political prowess, and how "in another age" she "would've ruled an empire?"

Or banters with Dorian about spirits and magic, and how they are used in Tevinter? And on slavery in general? (And how those conversations are a very big part of Dorian actually thinking about the slaves in Tevinter in a meaningful way)

Or with Cassandra about the burdens of leadership and how Cass stepped aside from leading/making decisions for the Inquisition as a whole cause she recognized/felt she wasn't the one to wield such power? Or the one where Cass wonders if the Archdemons are "pets" to beings who no longer exist?

Anyone else thinking about the banters that weren't with Cole about spirits and how to "ground" one's self in the real world, or with Blackwall about being men that have seen war and done cruel things and have had to live a lie until caught in the lie? But were more about the nuances of lives lived and currently being lived; and the status quo and how it was vs how it is vs how it maybe should be; and the very core of his being and true beliefs and how he could find some kind of echo of each with the members of the Inquisition, reflecting and foiling in turn?

Just me? Cool, cool, cool

vivienne having "early promise" in the orlesian game at the age of nineteen when she previously spent her entire life in the free marches (born in wycome and raised in the ostwick circle tower) kind of rots my brain. the orlesian game takes years to master, the slightest mistake can end with your social (and often times, literal) death, and yet vivienne thrived in montsimmard and the orlesian court. but i can't get over the fact that she was nineteen and showing so much promise. a free marcher at nineteen who's never stepped foot in orlais before transferring to the montsimmard circle.

and then i think about the fact that vivienne only mentions her time in the montsimmard circle when you ask her what her experience was like in the circles. the only knowledge we have about her time in the ostwick circle is that she was put through the harrowing young and this voice line from cole:
