rook (corvus frugilegus), ireland

Viago and Teia: *forever maintaining the balance of will-they-won't-they, always keeping the other Houses guessing if they're actually a united front or if it's all an alliance of convenience, meant to disrupt the confidence of their rivals and ensure their own strength* Lucanis and Rook: *declaring their undying love for each other within five feet of Morrigan, who has already proven to be a horrible gossip*

What do you think of Rook's savanaclaw card? <333

I didn't get him (and I need to save my keys for Silver's birthday, sob) so I looked up his groovy, and I'm not over how incredibly dramatic and epic and cool it looks in direct contrast to the absolutely ridiculous context. just look at that dynamic action and his majestic sparkling tears and keep in mind that this is pretty much right after a bunch of characters have been dance battling for his soul.

and then even the actual moment of the groovy is just like

this is NOT a negative in the slightest, I love it all, this truly was an incredible update in so many ways

the dynamic between crow rook and viago is genuinely sooo funny. he's your boss. he's a bully. he calls you an idiot. he scolds and reprimands you in front of your coworkers and the other talons. he cheers you on by berating you while you're fighting for your life. absolute clownery in the house de riva. love it sooo much.

thinking about rook very gently and slowly and painstakingly removing all of emmrich's jewelry before going down on him

Twisted lil meow meows

look at all the silly little guys

[vaguely-concerned]

the barista lady in the treviso café fucking giggles every time you buy the fancy coffee lucanis likes from her btw. can't believe the game is calling out rook and me like this

[deimcs]

Assan! You know it's not feeding time yet! I think he disagrees. See you later.

[beetlethebug]

consider,,,a lucanis who is in love with emmrich, a spite who is in love with rook, a rook in love with emmrich, and emmrich who is in love with all three but wants lucanis, spite, and rook to get together because he feels he is not the type of man any of them deserve...

bonus points for spite being the one to realize just what sort of love quadrilateral is going on and is the one to get them all together.

can we appreciate for a second how varric treats all three dragon age protagonists?

hawke was his best friend. varric was the constant supportive rock throughout their many years in kirkwall together. they shared grief over lost family, overcame bullshit dealt to them over their shared mistakes, and reveled in the few good things thrown their way. and in the end varric repaid that in full by protecting hawke from the inquisition. he didn’t want them to get hurt again after both of them lost everything.

the inquisitor was varric’s guiding light. he had been through some of the worst shit anyone had ever seen, blaming himself for everything that happened that led up to this point. but the inquisitor took him by the hand and showed him that it’s never too late and that not everything was his fault. shit happens. you can either lie down and give up or do something. the inquisition gave varric a new purpose. so he stuck around for the inquisitor (as his friend) and for the cause.

rook was his pupil. he saw their potential when everyone else saw their ignorance. it was varric’s turn to be the guiding light and shoulder to lean on. he took both of his relationships with hawke and the inquisitor and became the man his two friends were to him. even when varric wasn’t even there. rook was listening to him. becoming the next one to step up when nobody else would.

Here’s the main fella, Rook! This pose summarises the vibe they give me tbh. X’D

from @/elfbotanist on twitter who is posting from trick's bluesky; they elaborated a bit on exactly what the intention of the solavellan ending is

I cannot believe we found you.

Ugh, Hardings Romance!!!!

She doesnt hear you flirting with her! And when she does she immediately blushes and tries to push it to her moving stones! She 'drags' you into every trip she takes to get to know about her situation. She takes classes at the Lords of Fortunes Camp, she is telling you when shes kissing you, she then proceeds to call you a boob(!!!!) When she realizes she drugged you with lyrium, and then escapes your lyrium lovedrunk attempts to reach out to her so she doesnt turn your head into mush, people are watching you stumble over your stupid little body, she asks the necromancer for help with her magic, she glows when she sees you bc she adores you so much!!!

And I forget sometimes I'm just flesh and bone.

As he stands in the ruined bathroom, all Rook can think is, At least now I can breathe.
