I actually clacked away on my OTHER active wip today too- that's a weird dragon age story about an imaginary quest I am adding to the new game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, specifically to be Emo about my Origins player character, who. died heroically and tragically thirty years prior. HAUNTING TIME!

“I used to visit the statue at Weisshaupt- that's her face. Warden Amell of Ferelden.”  “Warden,” repeated the glowing figure. Was it merely an echo, or did she greet Davrin in recognition? Rook searched Emmerich's reaction, but the fade expert was used to keeping his composure and cordial expression well, providing scarce help.  He noticed Ehtel’s glance and gave him an apologetic glance. “I've only seen her in the ballet.”

"Emil thats a bit more than three sentences" shhhhh. LASAL AMELL.

Got the Almost Kiss w Lucanis scene but it's the first he and Ethel rly flirted but they Were v close so its cery funny. Absolute "Bro. R we about to kiss bro. You're my world dude." Like this started as Riffing On A Bit w ur Bro. Macho Flirting and now 😳😳. Deeply funny

Veilguard voice ever saw an elf so beautiful you started crashing

Im really getting attached to my spunky firecracker of a rook- the character just Emerged from the backstory, classing (im terrible at blocking so it's. A lot of jumping in, getting my ass handed to me while i chip at them, jumping out last second) and Dialogue. Like, when solas asked why did I think I was the one good enough to stop the gods Ethel went umm? I love punching up? I kicked ur ass, right? Trouble is my middle name, man. And Solas was like wow. Between that and the elf to elf talk you remind me of myself when I was a baby rebel... and. Ethel's runinating on that but. Yeah he is suchhh a little Go Getter and a fun way to do the- cuz the thing with a dragon age protag, it's like a dnd game- if you don't at the core want to play your character as someone who wants to be here doin this stuff, or at least has a powerful reason to be interested or compelled in it in some way, you're setting yourself up for a miserable time. So. My warden was a mix of Naivete and Duty Incarnate, Hawke was. A messy pile of psychological issues, political causes and protective instincts, Cadash was looking for an out from her life of crime and rose to the occasion and the need, Ethel... firecracker! Scoundrel! Not going gentle into that good good might he was gonna be placing sticks in the wheels of these beings that lied to his people and just unleashed destruction on his home even if he wasn't paid for it, so... added with the need to get the job done for the best?

Oh he has chest tattoos and scars too.

Got rly attached to one of the basic elf comps, skfjfkdjs, but. I feel i did make him my own. Between both CCs i spent 2 hours and am only just figuring out thw mechanics, butttttttt.... meeting neve was so funnnn. And im already attached to this funky pretty elf i made- first time playing elf Long Term, actually- and less lost with the rogue battle stuff than I thought I'd be, so.

I really am enjoying the Whimsy of the morgue watch /Emmerich gothness. Especially w like. My rook who respects that "e spòoky shite" like, Supportively but doesn't Rly super get it?

Emmerich, aghast: oh nooooo :0 these guys have harnessed the depths of these dead people's spiritual spleens to bassboost their wards!

Rook, who's seen Emmerich sprinkle green powder and do full eye glowing shit on the communal sink last week: and that's bad?

Emmerich: yeah :( it's really mean :(((

Rook: okie dokie. (Kills people)

Like. 'I am just gonna take your word on whats Good VS Bad skeletons and also kill whatevers attacking me'

[cosmik-homo]

I will say this IS. I had very few plans for this playthrough, to the point of being anxious enough to roll for Ethel's race and try and work stuff from there and being uncertain while i was making the choices, and. Though i regret nothing, as I said. Lovin him. This IS putting some interesting wrinkles in my Emmerich-dating hopes.

I could see it working under certain ways you play it, though.

I was also contemplating Bellara but what with us both being veiljumpers, I think she's the ex of one of my besties? If i get the codex implications correctly? Jdkfkfkd what a mess.

Neve is compelling me a lot more than i expected i can't stop being Beguilled by her.

Yeah, time will tell.

Here he is!!!! Ethel recently put his hair up, which i think should be in international headlines. He also got a scar on his cheek since the end of act 1.

Game start, Ish:

And traced / colorpicked over a cc screenshot:

I was about to say Have You Ever Seen An Elf So Beautiful You Just Dtarted Crying but. He's more than his looks He's also got a huge cwring heart and a fire that never goes out and a bit of a lack in common sense and He's brave AND gentle and in another life he SHOULD be a skater i think.

I know we alllllll think our rooks are so important but. <3<3<3<3 my rook....

[cosmik-homo]

Being trans is so funny. The other day I was playing veilguard and my nonbinary rook and I (also nonbinary) are faced with FIGHTING TWO BLIGHTED DRAGONS and as im button smashing the real Concern going through my head is. does his voice Pass. it kinda- for the unfamiliar wardens does he pass what gender are we being observed a-

[cosmik-homo]

Went by too fast for me to get a screenshot i was busy gasping but. Clicked that one and got a "There he is... the person i knew i was... i did the work, i stuck with it, and now i get to see him every time i look in the mirror". And this is extra special cuz im using the Deepened version of the Erica Ishii voice. So this is as the very least 2 nb creators, my nb character,,and me, nb. Hugging metaphsically. Ough.

I'm not crying. I'm not crying. A triple A game being produced by a genderqueer person and giving me this got 8j my eyes. Happy fucking birthday,,yall. My birthday present <3
