#dragon age headcannons

[hallaslin]

Does anyone have random Dragon Age headcannons that don't really have any big implications and just make things a little more fun?

I'll start: I've always thought that Blackwall/Thom Rainer is half-elven. No real reason beyond me thinking that his nose looked the way elf noses in Da2 looked and deciding so. I also think it makes his story sorta juxtapose Michele de Chevin's and may have motivated him (at least a bit) to decline the Chevaliers offer at the Grand Tourney

Rook to Solas:

So the inquisitor is your ex?….

… how did you drop the ball that badly?

I mean … c’mon Most people in Thedas would never dream of letting her go…

But just so we are clear she is single right?….

RooK @ Lavellan In front of Solas:

i need veilguard squad & solas to be the funniest involuntary roommates ever

Spite is a creature of habit and looses it when things change suddenly, especially if no one has bothered to sit him down and talk about said change. Once he lives somewhere that is his home. Once he likes someone this is his friend. Anything that breaks his bubble is a threat and he will make his annoyance be known. Lucanis moved back to Antiva? Spite became a feral little gremlin for a solid week. (He chills out once he gets used to it)

Rook had to go on a trip? He will not shut up about finding Rook until she comes back.

Worse. Lucanis has a contract to deal with? Spite will be pestering him the whole time to hurry up so they can go home.

He's a creature of habit, and he makes it everyone else's problem.

Yall im sorry I cant get Corrupted Inquisitor (Elgarnan’s champion of vengance.) out of my head

Elgarnaan once free purposefully goes after Lavellan after hearing about the skyweaver who lost everything on so many occasions

Elgarnaan uses magic to repress everything that makes the Inquisitor a hero. Elgarnaan removes regret ,remorse, guilt and sets The Inquisitor loose as his champion of Vengeance (Bonus points if mage,female or non-binary,or non human race.)

The first place the Inquisitor goes for Vengeance?… The chantry that took the most prevalent trauma of their life and exploited it for a hero story thrusting them in a position they did not ask for or consent to… derailing the life they had and replacing it with an uncertain one under public scrutiny (Again bonus points if they have their own gods.)

For corrupted Lavellan specific The Second target would be the Duke of Wycome and everyone who works for him a Clan for a Clan. (Justice under the influence of Elgarnaan.)and corrupted Lavellan is the opposite of Inquisitor Lavellan they don’t forgive the Duke of Wycome, they don’t move on they camp out in the ruins once belonging to clan Lavellan where the bodies of all they knew and loved are buried and they hunt every one of the Duke of Wycome’s men down slowly. Corrupted Lavellan makes them feel every inch of what Lavellan believed their clan would have…. corrupted Lavellan is cold tactics only… and the Duke of Wycomes men are killed on by one brutally in a way that is the opposite of the Lavellan The Inquisition knew.

For Qunari Inquisitor this would be them going after the Qun who used them as a puppet their whole lives who stripped them of thought of choice of will… Now Corrupted Inquisitor will strip them of the exact same an eye for an eye

Now Regular Human super privilege Inquisitor would go after the Exalted Council next forcibly thrust into a position they didn’t ask for to gain eyes on them they never asked for only to have these people strip it away as soon as it was given toying with the Inquisitors life again?! Then having the audacity to say that They gave the inquisition too much power…. Maybe they should learn what too much power actually is? What it feels like to have your entire life subjected to the puppet strings of another unseen hand

Corrupted Inquisitor the champion of Elgarnaan then turns their Vengeful gaze on Their shared “Enemy.” Solas/Fenharel. The corrupted Inquisitor under the influence of Elgarnaan confronts Solas on every repressed thought and memory they had on his betrayal.

For Corrupted Lavellan its worse it is so much worse because either Solas sees the love of his life or one of his closest/only friends corrupted into the opposite of everything they stood for and acting in a way that would horrify and disgust normal Lavellan It is like looking into the eyes of a stranger and he is forced to be in the position he put the Inquisitor in. Kill them to save everyone or make them remember who they are through great effort

in freeing The Inquisitor from Elgarnaans influence Solas has to confront all his own shit to help them confront theirs and break Elgarnaans hold over them

Im sorry Im a little obsessed with corrupted Inquisitor

UwU

Yall realize Solas let out Elgarnan out most likely …. Elgarnan is the god of revenge Which character in this series would have the most reason to get revenge on a large amount of people?

The Inquisitor and it works for almost every origin

Warrior Inquisitor getting revenge on mages

Qunari Inquisitor taking out years of pent up frustration at the Qun

Dwarf Inquisitor getting revenge on the cartels and gangs of the deeproads

Mage Inquisitor hunting Templars

And elvhen specific is juicy ….

Imagine Elgarnan using magic to alter Lavellan’s morals based on their pain and trauma …. Imagine Elgarnan taking away the one thing holding Lavellan back their Empathy…and ability to feel remorse

Now imagine the roles are reversed and the Inquisitor is the big bad and Solas has to stop them

[an-established-butt-dent]

Solas spends his days in the rotunda, meanwhile...

Lavellan is lost in thought.

"Darling, if you are not carefull one of these days a book will drop down and crack an egg."

"Hm? What did you say Dorian?"

In my HC Crow Rook teasing Lucanis about having two houses is hilarious because like… Viago definitely has two houses.

This is the man who wouldn’t be seen dead with a bottle of wine at least three times as expensive as this, who sends Rook to get info during an occupation at least a little for the art exposure and is also canonically arguably the most paranoid man in Thedas.

There’s no part of me that doesn’t headcannon that he has two houses he has the family villa where all the crows of House de Riva are welcome and all the crows in other houses think he lives and then he has his actual villa where he lives and only Rook knows about it. In fact when she finds Teia there one day during a sabbatical from the lighthouse that’s how she knows Viago is seriously serious about Teia because only two, now three, people in the world know of this house and who lives there.

FANFIC SNIPPET 9

[dinner after commitment scene. The team shares dinner, then Lucanis brings out dessert and coffee. It’s a merry occassion, with lots of fun tales and laughter. Lucanis can be caught repeatedly looking at Rook, who is laughing over her coffee cup, and smiling. Notes are made. As the evening winds down, Naimeryn offers to stay and clean dishes, standing and beginning to gather plates.]

THANKS TO @/cahwrites ON THREADS - who gave me the idea of a first kiss while washing dishes :3

——————————————————————————

“Do you want an extra pair of hands?” Harding offered.

“Oh, sure -“

“Actually, Harding, there was something I wanted to discuss with you, if you wouldn’t mind accompanying me?” Emmrich said quickly. Naimeryn met his eye, and he gave her a quick wink. She frowned slightly, confused, watching as everyone but Lucanis cleared out, almost all of them with smirks on their faces. Oh. Were they… giving them time alone?

But then… but once they were gone, she felt immediately on edge. What now? She slowly set another plate on the stack in her arms.

Lucanis started to stand, and she gently placed a hand on his shoulder. “You cooked!” She said with a smile she hoped didn’t betray her nerves. “I’ve got this. Just relax a minute.”

She went to the sink and started the faucet, depositing the pile of plates and silverware into the basin. She’d always liked doing dishes, even when she’d had no choice. Hot, soapy water up to her elbows, steam to warm up her shivering bones… no one bothering you. It was peaceful, and had often been her only solace amid chaotic days. She let out a slow breath and willed herself to relax. After all, what was there even to be stressed about?

“There’s no reason I can’t at least help you clear the table,” Lucanis said after a moment, and she heard his chair scrape back.

“Oh, all right,” she said with faux exhasperation. She started washing the dishes she had while he gathered the rest. She took another deep, steadying breath. It was just a little extra time together. No big deal, right?

His hand brushed the small of her back, his chest pressing into her shoulder as he leaned around her to deposit the pile he was carrying into the sink. She told herself to be calm, but being this close to him had her heart beating at a dizzying pace. She turned her head to thank him, a lighthearted smile parting her lips.

They met his, just an accidental brush of flesh where he’d been leaning in to peck her cheek. She gasped, pulled back slightly, remembering their almost-kiss, afraid he would flee again.

“I’m sorr-“ she began, her tone panicked.

“No,” he cut her off, meeting her eyes with his. They burned into her even as he pressed his lips back to hers.

The dishes forgotten, Naimeryn leaned into him, both of their eyes fluttering closed of their own accord. His mouth was warm. His mustache and beard tickled her face, first gently, then more aggressively as she turned and deepened their kiss. His arm snaked around her waist, holding her tighter against him, and despite her hands being wet, he did not flinch away as she tentatively placed one on his chest and the other on his bicep. A contented sigh escaped her.

Honey and lavender cream, indeed. Sweet. Warm. Soothing.

He pulled back enough to press his forehead gently to hers.

“Are we done thinking this is a bad idea, then?” Naimeryn asked breathlessly, losing the teasing edge she’d meant for the question to carry.

“Maybe we’ve just decided bad ideas are better,” he smirked, then planted a kiss on her nose. “But you should know… Spite has informed me the others are watching from the door.”

Naimeryn groaned. “Of course they are.”

“Spite, you’re no fun!” Taash yelled, then there was a chorus of laughter and the door slammed shut.

Alternative ending where Varric gets sucked into the fade prison with Solas but Rook can’t see him bc they only have the tenuous connection to Solas through their blood and so instead of being revealed as Fucking Evil at the end of the game Solas is actually redeemable AND you find out your mentor is still alive and that he has also been a voice of reason for Solas and convinced him to work with you towards the mutual goal of taking down the gods and they have played SO MUCH Wicked Grace to pass the time like the good old days and everyone is happy and gets a good ending LIKE THEY DESERVE

Headcannon: Emmrich only ever refers to his house/flat/whatever he has as "lodgings". Until Wifey comes along and moves in. It's only when she begins staying there that the place finally comes to feel like home.

You know, I saw some people theorising (jokingly or not) that Caterina was the one who knitted his little sweater. But I raise you this headcannon : Lucanis knitted it himself. He likes knitting (it involves somewhat stabby needles, and have you seen all the knives on him?), and he finds it meditative like taking care of his blades. And if he likes Rook, he'll knit them a cute little sweater too, maybe a scarf to go with it. Knitting for people is his love language.

[meowsgirldrawing]

Spite: ROOK! GLOWS! LIKE US!

Rook Headcannon: Since Aspen is Fenris’s daughter, I like to think the lyrium in his blood sorta affected her in the way of being able to glow like him when using her magic. And it shows very prominently in her hair and eyes mainly :>

[crowinkwriting]

Headcannoning that Zevran was the one who killed Lucanis's parents for angst reasons.

Caterina sent the two best assassins after that little thorn in her side after he started becoming an issue. Embarrass the Crows in Fereldon is one thing. Killing a Talon is another.

So she sent the two assassins she could rely on the most, only for them to come back in body bags. A message sent. She lost her best assassin and favorite daughter. Worst little Lucanis lost his parents, and all cause Caterina couldn't just leave Zevran alone.

And can Lucanis even hate Zevran for it (I mean he probably does)? Zevran was protecting himself and the love of his life. Who wouldn't do what he did?

Bioware: Rook is in charge because they are the most competent, and they stepped up to the role. A born leader, a natural hero, a-

DA Fandom: Rook is a chaotic little goblin who's top skill is being a problem. They probably wear mismatched socks to work and set their kitchen on fire. Also, the government pays them to do this.

Todoroki: Why are you smiling like that? You look suspiciously like the cat that swallowed the pidgeon.

Uraraka: Canary.

Todoroki: What?

Uraraka: I look like the cat that swallowed the canary.

Todoroki: I once had a very large cat-not the point! My point is, why are you smirking?

Uraraka: You were watching him.

Tsuyu: With great interest I might add.

Uraraka: In fact, I believe you were ~enraptured~.

Todoroki: He's Midoriya, I look to him for guidance!

Uraraka: Oh I see.

Tsuyu: And what 'guidance' did you see in those swaying hips?

Todoroki: No no no! I wasn't looking at his hindquarters!

Uraraka: Certainly.

Todoroki: I gazed-glanced in that direction, maybe! But I wasn't staring, or really seeing anything.

Uraraka: Of course.

Todoroki: I hate you guys. You're bad people.
