#ehhhhh I’ll edit this later for some blog rules

[akomue]

˗ˏˋ RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN ˎˊ˗

I write for everyone who has at least appeared in the bnha or haikyuu anime.

I will not write yandere or suggestive themes with any underaged characters or civilians. + please do not talk sexual content to me. I’m fine with thirsts and stuff but overly sexual topics will end up with a block. It really grosses me out and makes me feel disgusting.

I will write only platonic themes with Eri , Kota , Rei , Hizashi, Fuyumi , Natsu. The list may go on depending what people want.

My blog is mainly SFW with suggestive themes. Yanderes on the other hand are only scenarios which are soft.

I will do comfort requests , just not emergency requests due to stress and tight schedule.

I write headcanons and oneshots only. Full fics requests will either be altered to headcanons or oneshot. For headcanons I do a maximum of 8 characters but note that the more characters , the shorter headcanons. For oneshots I do a maximum of 4 characters , once again the more characters , the shorter oneshots.

I write all genres excluding crack. I write all gender readers and personality-wise , aesthetic-wise , literally every reader except appearance wise.

Vague requests will be deleted. Be detailed on what you want.

A post no one asked for on Dragon Age 4 and why Cole will be a companion

This is a thought that has rattled around in my head for a good while and I want to get it down on paper (or blog? I guess? Whatever) before any actual details of the game get out. Yes, I want to be that person who goes “Hah! I knew it!” In case this all isn’t correct... I was never here. *Waves hand* I promise this will be short.

Edit: lol jk its now a TEDtalk. Enjoy this meta.

Every installment of Dragon age, all three main titles and the Awakening DLC share something in common: A reoccuring companion from the last game.

Oghren: In Awakening we had Oghren join the Wardens after Origins. 

Anders: In Dragon Age 2 we had Anders become a companion of Hawke after he left the Wardens in Awakening. 

Varric: In Inquisition we had Varric join the Inquisitor after he left Kirkwall from Dragon Age 2.

So why Cole above everyone else? Looking at patterns again no returning companion was romanceable in their first installment. If we are going by that then it rules out Iron Bull, Blackwall, Sera, Dorian, Solas, and Cassandra. Story wise I do not think we will see Cassandra again other than maybe a fleeting quest like Zevran in DA2 or maybe just a fleeting message. 

Iron Bull and Blackwall are killable, so I doubt we will see them at all for continuity sake. “What about Leliana?” I hear you all thinking. Yes, Leliana’s death was explained away as she is some sort of Force Ghost, but that brought up quite the mini controversy at the time and I doubt EA will do it again.

Well how about Dorian? It is all but confirmed that DA4 will set place in Tevinter, or at least close to it. With Dorian in the position he is in the Magisterium I think at most he will play an advisory role must like Leliana did in DA:I.

Solas is going to be too busy enjoying my stolen Godtier wolf armor and being the head-shoved-up-ass antagonist.

Now lets touch on the two characters who were not romanceable: Varric and Vivienne.

Varric was already in two games, so I think they’re going to officially retire him.

Vivienne has a sliver of a chance, but I would bet my bank account that she will not be a companion, which leads me into my next set of points: They’re too important.

Vivienne: No matter the outcome of your playthrough Viv will be way too busy being important. There are two ways she can go: Either she will become the next Divine as Divine Victoria, or Grand Enchanter of the Circle of Magi. Vivienne will be too busy realizing her plans and ambition to personally deal with any outside nation. However that doesn’t mean she won’t be a key political figure in the game, as she is always trying to stay one step ahead of her peers. We will see her, just not as a companion.

Dorian: He has taken his father’s place in the Magisterium and is the leader of a Tevinter reformation group. I’m like 95% certain we will see him in some capacity, but not as a companion.

Varric: Yet again he has reached his max capacity for games, but he is also now the Viscount of Kirkwall. Like Viv we may just see him in name only, doing something through his agents.

Cassandra: The Seeker can go down many roads. Just like Viv she can become Divine Victoria. If you decide to restore the Seeker order she will spend time post Trespasser working with them. If you do not make her Divine she will stick by the Divine’s side as her Right Hand, temporarily with Viv and for a good amount of time with Leliana. 

Now for the not-so-important people:

Iron Bull: His is tricky because his end can be split in SO many ways. If you don’t kill the Chargers his mercenary group still run around Orlais and Ferelden kicking ass. If you do sacrifice them or don’t do his personal quest he turns on you in Trespasser, ultimately making him loyal to the Ben-Hassrath. In the end Iron Bull’s fate is split in so many different ways that it would be difficult, near impossible, to bring him back as a companion.

Blackwall: You have a chance to allow him to be executed, taking him completely out of the game. If you spare him during his judgement you can either hand him over to the Wardens and put him through the Joining, exile him, or keep him around work for his atonement. If he becomes an actual Warden he is sent away at the end of Trespasser Blackwall goes to Weisshaupt. If you forgive him he ends up traveling Thedas to find his lost men and seek their forgiveness. If you don’t find out about his past he turns himself in six months after the main quest line is done and his fate is unknown. So as you can see he suffers the same fate as Iron Bull, as in there are too many possibilities to successfully write him well as a companion in the new game.

Sera: Sera is the only companion I can envision coming in as second place to become a companion in DA4, for multiple reasons. I’ll get to those later though. In Sera’s ending she goes back to being a Red Jenny whether you romance her or not. If you don’t romance her she is seen in a relationship with Dagna.

You mentioned Sera possibly becoming a companion.

Well yes, I did. Let me explain: I think Sera is actually going to become a big player in the endgame, as unassuming as she is. There is a theory floating around that Sera is actually the Elven goddess Andruil. (Click the link for further reading. It’s REALLY good) I’m a full fledged tin foil hat fan of this one, along with the idea that Sandal is actually June, Elven god of the craft. So I think if anyone other than Cole is a companion it’s going to be her. 

However while I do think she is going to be in the game I don’t think she will be a companion. She has little to no interest in the dealings of Tevinter or any other big wars. Sera enjoys her little world with her friends, and would not be the type to take up another crusade, especially after what she endured in Inquisition. No more weird shit, just pranking rich people and being a Red Jenny.

Now why and how do I think Cole will be a companion?

At the end of Trespasser if you make Cole human he gets his first girlfriend and goes with her becoming a traveling minstrel. If you make him a spirit he ventures back to the Fade as he feels his work is done. Now if he is made a human I think he can fit well into being reintroduced as a companion. Either his relationship with Marydon ceases naturally or she dies at the hands of [antagonistic enemies] and he vows to seek retribution. Honestly Marydon isn’t very important, as she can end up with Krem or Zither if you make him a spirit. So her ending doesn’t matter and I don’t think she’d show up in DA4.

If he becomes more spirit I can see him coming back for the sole purpose of stopping Solas, since he can see what the trickster god is doing or going to do. An easy way to write him is to make exposure to the world again causes him to become more human. I know that would render the choices of a lot of players invalid, but c’mon this is Bioware we have seen this happen before.

Another question: Would he be romanceable? Ehhhhh it can go either way. Seeing as human Cole enters a relationship at the end of Trespasser the writers are showing us that he is at least interested in romance. As we already know Anders was the only recurring companion who had a romance, so like I said it could go either way. Would I personally like to see it? Sure, why not. I think it would be an interesting dynamic to see how he as a spirit would deal with love and possible carnal desires. As we’ve seen before spirits can engage in such activities:

Blackwall: Sera and I were just talking about you. We need you to settle a question for us.

Solas: *Sigh* Sera’s involved? So this question will be offensive.

Blackwall: Yes. Probably. Sorry. You made friends with Spirits in the fade. So... um, are there any that are more than just friends? If you know what I mean.

Solas: Oh for... really?

Blackwall: Look, it’s a natural thing to be curious about! 

Solas: For a twelve year old!

Blackwall: It’s a simple yes or no question!

Solas: Nothing about the Fade or Spirits is simple. Especially not that.

Blackwall: Aha! So you do have experience in these matters!

Solas: I did not say that.

Blackwall: Don’t panic, it’ll be our little secret.

Solas: Ass.

Blackwall: Now who’s twelve?

According to Solas, if we read between the lines, is that Fade Spirits can engage in such things. I’m sure it’s not as simple as people on Thedas think it, but things can transpire to a degree.

All in all I think Cole, out of any other companion from Inquisition, has the highest chance of showing up as a companion in Dragon Age 4. (I’m bad at endings bye)

Coming Attractions!

…insert clever opening quip here? (lol)

Fanfic:

Precipice:

Ehhhhh, I’m behind where I want to be, a little bit (as you may have noticed from the fact that I haven’t gotten a chapter up for last week, whoops…I’m hoping to get one up tonight or tomorrow? We shall see…) It’s looking like three or maybe four chapters left in Lessons, so right now I’m setting a goal to finish this arc by the end of the year. Depending on how on-task I remain (and how busy work is; etc.), I might end up doing a double update one week to meet that.

After that, we get into Reunion, which I think will make people happy. (I know I’ve been asked about it…several times…^^;;)

Distaff:

I’m hoping to get the next chapter up by the end of the year—again, depending on how much time/focus I manage to wrangle ::knocks on wood:: I should be able to pull it off. (Like I said I think last month, nothing that actually happens in it is particularly difficult, certainly not on the level of The Goddamn Opera House, it’s just there’s a lot I need to cover before Obi-Wan actually leaves for Utapau because I borked my timeline a little bit.)

Auxiliaries:

In theory, I’ll do another update at some point? I really should write the middle of “A Day at the Races,” but I need to figure out exactly what explodes in their faces. I have most of part three of that story written! As well as scattered bits here and there throughout the timeline (though I think I want to rewrite Anakin and Padme’s first meeting, because I think there’s something slightly different going on than when I drafted it last year). Also, I should do more stuff with what Anakin does as a tiny on Tatooine, with Kitster and Shmi and an OC of mine (because I seem to be pathologically incapable of not creating OCs, lol), and I have to rewrite the bulk of AOTC…Anyway, there will be more of this eventually. Hopefully this month.

AU Outlines:

I put one up last night, hurray! (I’ll admit, parts of it feel a little rushed/sloppy to me, and I know I didn’t go into as much detail as I could/should have in a few places (particularly re: Mace [who, if I were fleshing this out properly would have a much bigger role] and Ahsoka [because Ahsoka]), but given that it was already over 8k, and I got through most of the super important scenes that I’d wanted to cover at least in some measure, I decided to just go for it and post last night. But chances are I’ll go back and add more later at some point. I do like how the Big Melodramatic Climax went, though--like the last five/ten minutes of the Disney animated BATB with a side of Act 5 of Cyrano de Bergerac; or at least that was what I was going for ^^;;)

Anyway, that aside, I should get at least one more outline up this month; possibly one of the ones I’ve been hinting at for a while or possibly a continuation of one that already exists, but IDK. I may ask for input again at some point, unless I really get going on something on my own. And I always welcome suggestions/prompts even if I don’t specifically ask! It just might take me longer to get to them.

[Also, apropos of nothing, these things are a pain in the butt to transfer from the word processor where I drafted them into tumblr, which seems to have a problem with c/ping bulleted lists…]

Other:

I am doing JediFest this month, which should be fun, and Big Bang next year (assuming I’ve signed up properly; I submitted my signup last…Friday, I think? But I haven’t gotten any confirmation/response or anything. I’m going to reach out to the mods again if I don’t hear anything for the end of the week). Due to challenge rules, I can’t say too much more than that, but it should be fun! Though, heh, we’ll see how I am about sticking to a limited wordcount...

Uh, let’s see, what else…I posted Sanctuary to AO3 with some minor edits at the beginning of November…I think that’s pretty much it, other than various noodling, primarily on self-indulgent BS I probably won’t ever post, in an attempt to fill up NaNo wordcount.

Oh, I’ll probably do another Epic Crossover RP OF DOOM update at some point, because, again, we think we’re hilarious. Even if it’s just background details, like the list of fandoms/universes involved, who’s training the various BSG-origin people who went for Jedi training…or something.

Also! Because it fits here better than anywhere else—I am going to see TLJ pretty early on. I probably won’t post much/anything about it here, but if I do, I’ll tag everything with ‘spoilers’ ‘sw spoilers’ ‘star wars spoilers’ and ‘tlj spoilers’ for…probably at least a month? If there’s another tag you want me to use, just send me an ask or reply to this post or something. This is more likely to be an issue on my personal blog, but just in case, wanted to let y’all know.

Original Fic:

…looool I think I wrote like 300 words in the last month, if that? All on The Caladrius. Hopefully more this month. Origfic has been hard lately…

Due to NaNo, I didn’t have one for November, but here goes for December:

1. Finish Arc 5 in Precipice. 2. Update Distaff. 3. Update Auxiliaries. 4. JediFest 5. Pick a story for BB and start working on it. 6. At least three pieces to RF. 7.
