can't wait to see people draw Davrin in all sorts of heroic poses fit for illustrations of Arthurian legends, Bellara in pretty pastel sundresses, Emmrich wearing nothing but copious amounts of gold jewelry, Taash in bodybuilder poses (and shirts with the sleeves cut off and the sides scooped), Harding in the coziest of furs, Neve in suits and posed like a Leyendecker illustration, and Lucanis lit like a Rembrandt looking menacingly back over his shoulder, and for everyone to be so fucking correct

Just about ready! Since folks mentioned wanting different types, I decided to go for all 3: Charms, Standees AND Stickers! 🙌😉

Preorders go live at 7am SGT, 26 October!

so about the choice in act 3. I feel like the writers wanted to do the suicide mission from me2 AND the companion choice from me1. which clashes at its core because the whole point of the me2 mission was that if you did all the companion quests and worked for it, you could keep everyone alive. and I get wanting the shock of having one of the companions die no matter what, but at this point in the game after the obvious set up, it just feels like one of those haHA surprise! moments

then there's the fact that it's between davrin and harding. the black man and the fan favourite from dai. like it feels so stacked against davrin at that point.

I picked davrin first, and then I went back and picked harding, thinking maybe that was the right choice to keep her alive. and here's where the whole choice gets even worse for me, because harding, instead of using her stone magic, the actual thing that would give her an advantage against ghilan'nain, she climbs up to the exact same spot as davrin, and uses her bow. she tries to use arrows against a giant multi-limbed blight enhanced being. it's stupid! of course she dies!

I had expected that if you picked harding, she would use her stone magic, which would distract ghilan'nain because of the history with the titans, giving lucanis enough time to act. it would have worked really well as a continuation of her character arc, and it would tie into her personal quest in a way that would make it clear that the effort we put into doing that was what makes the difference.

but by not doing that and having her die no matter what, it instead feels like it doesn't make sense. davrin, at least, is just a man with a sword. his death here makes sense because he's against impossible odds.

which brings it back to feeling really bad that the choice was between him and harding. because for this sacrifice / loss to make sense, it feels it should be davrin. for this narrative beat to make sense, it should be davrin dying.

it feels like the writers are saying: the correct choice here is davrin. he's the only companion who should die no matter what. to signpost this at the moment you make this choice, we will have the other choice be the fan favourite from dai. because no one will want to risk her potentially dying.

it feels bad. it feels racist. davrin deserved better.

Rook knowing that physical contact with Harding might be harmful to them, going for a kiss anyway, getting knocked the fuck out by her powers in about zero seconds, almost cracking their skull on the pavement and the first thing they do. The FIRST thing they do, before they even think of getting up, is to keep trying to reach for her while babbling like a lovestruck FOOL...

Veilguard had better be a game that I replay countless times to only romance one character and make all the same decisions over and over again.

I will keep randomly seeing hate/criticism about Harding like "why is she here???" "they're shoving her down our throats" and. I'm sorry. I know it's been ten years but Lace Harding was a well-received and beloved NPC in Inquisition. Most people clocked her as a potential companion for "DA4" immediately. She basically becomes the Spymaster's right hand. She was in the final scene of Trespasser when your Inquisitor stabs the map. The writing was on the wall its not her fault you either forgot or ignored it.

Inky and Solas Reunion - DATV Fancomic

Inky and Solas Reunion . 2024

Dunno what's will happen in DATV yet, but this is how I hope the reunion of Inky and Solas will be xD Nothing really changed after 9 years, 'An is still not over his betrayal, and Solas is still an ass person.

He can easily block her punches, but yeah, he thinks he deserves it (and he's right).

Also, I really love/hate that Solas calls her Inquisitor 'An and not "Vhenan". Yeah... I like to torture myself...

This comic is self-indulgence, but also a practice to draw DATV characters. I love Bellara soooo much. She's also just super easy to draw!
