#ch: emmrich

[kirkwall-age]

the option to romance emmrich is so fascinating to me

not once in my life was i ever attracted to vincent price and to model his face after him was sure a choice™

but also this blog is brought to you by someone whose list of unromanceable bioware npcs i lusted after includes:

Ammon Jerro (a warlock war criminal of unspecified age who has a granddaughter who is supposed to be the same age bracket as player character thanks)

Sagacious Zu (at least 20 years older than player character iirc)

Loghan Mac Tir (51 going on 52 in origins, will be 74 in The Veilguard if alive, i make no apologies, if Catherine Zeta-Jones can pull it off, so can my Warden)

Zaeed Massani (#WhyYouShouldNeverShipSomethingAsAJoke)

Armando-Owen Bailey (coincidentally voiced by Michael Hogan who played Saul Tigh in BSG who i also considered very fuckable)

i am FOR SURE among the target audience here -- but for a game to actually give me PERMISSION and ENCOURAGE me?

suddenly i'm quite at a loss 👀👀👀 suddenly i'm so shy

Look, I know we all joke about Emmrich, but let's recap this man's schedule immediately before the romance scene: (spoilers, obviously)

fought Ghilan'nain 

fade prison recovery efforts

curse diagnostics

banged Rook (within an inch of their life if Rook the next morning is anything to go on) in a coffin

got up an hour before dawn to exercise.

offers to get Rook breakfast (or possibly went back in the coffin for round 2)

His hips are fine.

I desperately need a slow dancing scene with Emmrich, tenderly kissing Rook's palm as they go and I AM NOT normal about it

and since i'm going through all these screenshots, here are some of my favorite mourn watcher rook moments from emmrich's memorial gardens quest:

ngl if spite doesn't get to watch from the fade equivalent of the cuckhold chair i'll be disappointed

OF COURSE I got a nice screenshot of Chiara with someone who is not her love interest (spoilers below cut)

Emmrich, bud, I need you to stop looking at her like that. Manfred's cute and all and she respects the shit out of you, but her heart's already set on Davrin.

Jokes aside, I'm really enjoying their dynamic. The Mourn Watch was a 10/10 choice; all of the little comments and interactions are making my day.

An excerpt from The Eternal Flame

This short story occurs in 9:22 Dragon, eight years before Origins, so Emmrich is younger than we recognize him. But this particular excerpt..... I'm thinking about how he's supposedly sensual and passionate... Assuming he's kept this frame of mind three decades later, he's going to be quite the grim romantic 👀

My Rook already has a crush on him.

unfortunately i can't get over the biblically accurate maeve of this scene. have been yelling internally about it for over an hour

dragon age: the veilguard + companions

i'm having absolutely perverse thoughts about emmrich volkarin being touched and touching in return and marveling at how responsive his partner is. thinking thinking thinking about him pressing his lips to the veins in his partner's wrist and having to shut his eyes in order to let the sensation of their pulse drumming against his mouth wash over him. his work isn't particularly lonely (he does have peers, after all), but it doesn't give him a great deal of wiggle room in terms of romance, after all, and there was no small amount of yearning in him even thirty years ago. how much has changed since? is he still lonely? does he still want to be loved and cared for so completely that his partner wants their bones to rest alongside his?

ALRIGHT, Emmrich lovers who also love making fanmixes/playlists, gimme all your Emmrich or Emmrich x Rook songs.

I need them to grow my power.

I'm excited to hear what his voice sounds like. Love Cassandra's accent so it can't help but make me curious about Nevarran voices!

He's just a grandpa who's doing his best.
