#and Davrin IS loosely sort of that character already

anyway, I really, really love how, if you romance Davrin, there's that beautiful moment in the final goodbye when he refers back to (at least one of-) the lines that can be said in the main romance scene:
[Davrin: You said you wanted the road less-traveled. Seems like we've got it right here.
Davrin: All I care about is that I'm there with you.]
after a personal storyline that's in large part about him overcoming an aversion of uncertainty, and embracing the potential for change and choosing who one wants to be (like most of the others, but it's arguably even more pronounced in his, as it's reflected through the griffons' story), that's just a really beautiful sentiment.
after spending so long thinking of himself as a weapon, believing one's destiny to be set in stone, even believing himself -and by extension, the griffons- to be "meant" for one immutable thing by their very nature...
it feels very satisfying and touching to know that he's willing to head into an unknown future with nothing truly secure, except for the hand holding his.
#dragon age#datv spoilers#davrin#i love him your honor#he just really resonates with me on such a deep level you know#almost all of the characters i create and end up resonating with the most are in some way about... disappointment; really#about learning to live with- and overcoming falling short of expectations; about not “living up” to one's potential#about the agony of crafting a life you'd like to have instead of the one others want you to have#and Davrin IS loosely sort of that character already#someone who's kind of... learning to live with not being who he thought he was meant to be#with not being a weapon sharpened for a sacrifice but a person who deserves love and kindness and care#not just a sword and shield to strike and protect; not a sacrificial lamb; but a man worthy of love and a FUTURE#that's beautiful! that's really meaningful! that makes me want to hug and squeeze and protect him!!!#he's kind and artistic and funny and strong and sweet; confident and principled but honest and caring????#AND scorching hot too????????? be still my little heart#something something geneva suggestion#(edited just to crop the image because i just. aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)#squirrel plays datv
