#but idk it's just... it's just such delicious angst top tier sapphic drama

[requiemforthestars]

I'm leaning really heavily towards romancing Neve because I think her and my Crow Rook could fit. A cynic who believes in fighting for a better world vs an idealist who cannot afford idealism because as an assassin her job is to be the villain. All that. They could've met in different circumstances because in my head the Crows found Rook when they got hired to kill a Tevinter lord only to find one of his slaves, teen Rook with newly-found magic powers, had killed him and half his family first, so they saw potential. But if they hadn't? My Rook would have 100% ended up with the Shadow Dragons somehow. So, because of all of this my heart was asking me to save Minrathous in this playthrough but I decided to save Treviso and leave Minrathous for a later canon playthrough in which I do all the quests, but I'm just... really enjoying the angst with Neve gone because it was Rook's fault the Venatori took over? Like it's horrible but it happened just after Neve's first personal quest where she told Rook about the people in Dock Town who were worth saving and right after that Rook gave her a gift, and they flirted and it could have been something but then the dragons attacked, and Rook chose Treviso (because she thought Minrathous could defend itself, because a part of her thinks Tevinter and just wants to burn it all to the ground, because she is a Crow and the Crows come first, always) but she broke Neve's heart!! Neve saw her dreams shattered and Rook confirmed to herself that no matter what happens she will always bring only death and like, this idea has me on a fucking chokehold, man, hold on a fucking second...
