#da brainrot is real and Can hurt you

[multiverse-menagerie]

dragon age brainrot is real and I’ve had thoughts concerning my Alise Hawke so here’s some info dump

I’ve been chewing on the idea of Hawke “carrying” a Spirit of Learning (which I don’t think we’ve seen in game) with her. Like. Hawke is born a mage, but kind of a shitty one tbh, and she struggles to use her magic at all, let alone control it (compared to Malcolm who was basically a prodigy). And even as a small kid Hawke has basically learned that she needs to be good, to impress Mother, to live up to Father, to make her parents Proud and Not Worry.

Except she still kinda sucks. And then one night, she dreams and meets “Lear”, a seemingly young androgynous human who knows a lot about magic but also asks silly questions like “how to tie laces” when they’re clearly wearing boots already. Hawke doesn’t really think to be afraid of Lear but knows that she probably shouldn’t tell Father about them.

Lear offers to help Hawke with her magic if she’ll allow them to stay with her and watch and learn. Alise agrees. And suddenly she can conjure flames, heal wounds. It’s so much easier to tug at the Fade, to pull her magic through. Father calls her a late bloomer.

When she’s older she realizes they’re a Spirit of Learning but also she’s grown so used to them. And Lear has…evolved. Learned. They’re still very much a spirit but they’ve learned so much by living within/alongside Hawke, you’d think them almost human.

She doesn’t tell anyone about Lear until Kirkwall, until she meets Anders and Merril, both so unapologetic of their magics. Everyone’s a bit cautious but honestly compared to Justice, Lear is pretty chill.

Somewhere along the way, Varric and Hawke get together and Lear learns what Love and Devotion feels like (and almost wishes they had been made a Spirit of Love bc wow damn).

I think this would explain a little why Hawke is so chill about Justice in the beginning, bc she assumes Justice is like her Lear. Not the case, obviously, and Anders is quick to call her a hypocrite if she says anything to him about leaning to hard into Justice (vengeance).

Lear is the only reason she survives the fight with the Arishok, as they bolster her body and pump her full of fade magic. Some of Hawke’s friends start to claim to see an androgynous figure hovering around Hawke.

By the time of Inquisiton, Lear has almost fully gained the ability to manifest themselves. It’s easier in places with the Veil is weak, where it’s easier to separate themselves from Hawke but also…it’s a lot harder to tell where Hawke ends and Lear begins (I live for parallels if you can’t tell, thanks Anders and Justice). Without Lear, Hawke’s magic is still pretty weak. But she’d be willing to give up power if Lear wanted to try and become…something. (I can’t remember timeline wise if you can have Cole be once more human before Here Lies the Abyss but if yes; Hawke is more than happy to give Lear that chance).

When the Inquisitor, Alistair, and Hawke (+ party) end up in the Fade, Lear is just like Also There. Everyone’s like ??? Except for Hawke and Varric, the latter of whom is just like “ah it’s nice to finally get a clear look at you, hope you enjoy this break from Hawke’s head”. Jake can still do powerful magic bc she’s in the Fade blah blah blah.

And of course Hawke stays in the Fade and technically Lear is strong enough to leave the Fade with the Inquisitor and others, but Lear…Lear has learned so much because of and thanks to Hawke, they’ve learned to love and Lear refuses to leave Hawke’s side.

So Hawke and Lear are in the Fade, kill Nightmare. And just…wander. Lear is able to dampen Hawke’s personhood sending out signals to demons and stuff so they’re not constantly hunted. Time passes strangely in the Fade so maybe Hawke ages or maybe not (the idea of Hawke not aging and Varric being full grey upon reunion both kills me and makes my angst loving bits happy).

Assuming they do manage to get out of the Fade (Veil destroyed?), I think Lear would be separated from Hawke, for good (but not necessarily on purpose by either of them). Lear would be like (my) Cole, basically fully human. A little strange, but human. And Hawke is suddenly a weak mage again, maybe (or depending on what happens with magic in DAV, maybe she’s a bit better).

That was a lot of rambling. But basically: I like the idea of a parallel between Anders and Hawke and their respective spirits; exploring Spirits; Life is Learning; a mediocre Hawke that is put on a pedestal (parentified) by her parents and struggles to live up to their (and everyone else’s) expectations (and how you can lean on others for support - first Lear, then Varric, Isabela, etc etc)

Hawke jokes about Lear living rent free in her head so Lear pumps too much magic into a flame conjure so Hawke’s eyebrow is singed (learning that sibling dynamic real good)

hello reshi good weather today innit

first of all iwant to say that i LOVE YOUR WORKS i gobbled them all up its not funny 😂😂😂😂😂hheneelelpp��… the brainrot is real and its eating AWAY!!!!!!!!!

seconf of all i keep going back to your kinich breeding kink fic. which made me wonder liek what do u think about dad kinich ,??:?\ mmmaybbeee…. mayhaps…

FEEL FREE TO IGNORE THIS no pressure ^_^

also can i be 🦢 anon i think ill probably return

hallo 🦢 nonnie!!!1!1!1 and ty, I'm happy lots of ppl read n enjoy my stuff, feel free to send more ideas >_0

he'd honestly frfr be a super good dad. like as someone who's learned that life is precious, and he's happy to have made some with you.

but if you take it in the single parent kinich aspect instead—he's just such a good dad, and often leaves hi child with mualani IF he still decides on doing saurian hunter stuff. but for sure I feel he'd leave the night warden war stuff behind

he honestly felt...somewhat scared. he fact he might have been about to lose his chance to hold his little girl again :(

oh but real talk he'd let his kid get their own saurian. I feel like he'd get them a saurian that is anything but whatever ajaw is.

he loves to throw them up in the air like genuinely he loves it so much.

same with swinging them, probably makes a playground set for them from scratch because his kid asked

he watches cartoons w your guys' children and acts like it doesn't really hurt him when something crazy happens to the mc

like ex. trolls when poppy lost her color. he was just as heartbroken as your daughter.

lowkey gains a dad bod if you think about it >_0

he always does the "ask your mom/other das" when it comes to serious stuff or things he doesn't wanna answer

example: kid asks about where babies come from..? go ask your mother sweetheart.

he brings the kid on his adventures sometimes—sometimes—only because it's his gift to them. but he knows if it were any other occasion then the kid's birthday you would kill him 💞

whenever you both do corny couple stuff the kid is always gonna go "ewwww!!" and run away while laughing.

"well would you rather me and your daddy fight all the time?" you joke as you finish braiding the little splitting image of you both's hair. "nooo! never! but you guys are cheesy!"

ajaw will be teaching the kid swear words and then blame it on kinich

like randomly while you and kinich are discussing things about I don't know getting a yumkasaurus for your little girl—you hear the same little one shout the word 'fuck.'

"where on earth did you hear that word from young lady!" "from daddy." "KINIIIICH!!"

and ajaw giggles behind the curtain watching everything unfold and he's rubbing his hands together like "muehehhehe... ur done kinich!!!..." even when u meant ur scolding light hearted after finding out about uncle ajaw. and will scold ajaw later.

thanks for coming to my ted talk

I'd probably ship you with Lilia or...Nvm, I can only think of Lilia wwww-

You both have similar energy so I feel like you wouldn't have to worry about either of you not being able to take a tease or two. Plus, you get free dad jokes >w>

Y'ALL ARE MAKING ME WANT TO CAVE AND DRAW LILIE ART

Gonna drop my brainrotting/ideas I have for them RN:

Small vampire boyfriend and his taller wolf aesthetic girlfriend

Listen, Lilia talks old fashioned and I was going through a da Vinci phase so I taught myself to mirror write as well as my love of Shakespearean English

The ship name is Lilie (currently, aka I might change it) because it's a fusion of their names as well as what Lacie calls Lilia (why she has a white lily as one of her symbols) [and how they first met, in a field of lilies where past "Lacie" snuck into the moors]

I was actually gonna give Lacie dark jewelry/iron jewelry but changed it to gold since using the live action lore it hurts fae

Watch Lacie have periods of time where she goes through all the vampire stereotypes she has with Lilia who says what's real and what's fake

My brainrot of them meeting again (when we first meet Lilia in the lunch hall) and it's just a zing between them
