I'm actually so glad Blackwall is finally getting his flowers as the best written companion (do not @ me) from Inquisition and that more people are playing his romance (banger after banger) and I guess I get why the 20somethings that played it when it came out and weren't interested are now 30somethings and more willing to give him a chance. It's sorta natural, ain't it?

[a-whiff-of-a-dream]

not to go nuts on main BUT BLACKWALLS LETTER TO THE INQUISITOR???????? HELLOOOO????

[tavtiers]

A hypothetical god tier for Blackwall from Dragon Age: the Knight of Blood.

A Knight of Blood is among those who use paths, drive, and passion. They are motivated by themselves to utilize connection. (x) The Knight of Blood puts on a front to hide an insecurity and has a strong sense of responsibility. (x) They are the Defender Promised, defined by guarded connection. (x) Their opposite is the Page of Breath. Their inverse is the Rogue of Breath. They share their personality with the Prince of Doom. The Knight of Blood would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Haze and Blood, reigned over by Hera (Goddess of Marriage Vows) or Prometheus (The Titan rebel who was chained to a mountain for giving fire to man). They would rise to ascension on the wings of mosquitoes. (x)(x)(x)

I like this doodle because it looks like they were forced to pose for a yearbook photo together.

In case anyone is wondering: this is the real Gordon Blackwall, not Thom Rainier.

Veilguard is nice. Cool interactions, great romances, excellent graphics, excellent combat. I love flashy slashers, so it worked for me. But wraps up in a blanket of sadness at some point, it becomes clear that I kind of like it, but the little elf Inquisitor inside me misses Inquisition, which was completely forgotten in this new part :( I don’t miss the circles and the templars, I miss the little details that built the atmosphere. I’m not saying they should’ve made Inquisition 2. I like the new story, but it would’ve been great to find more little details and Easter eggs. Yeah, it was cool to find the note about Gordon Blackwall. Why didn’t they add more things like that? For a new player, it’s new info and world expansion, and for us, it’s just nice.

But the reason for my post is that yesterday, I got blown away by this fresco.

Here’s Trespasser, the conclave, the rebellion, the ancient elves, Solas, the qunari, the wolf, magister Alexius (?????), the creation of the breach why am I whining if it’s right here- Inquisition? But you know where this fresco was? In the ass of Minrathous. I’m not sure many people would have the patience to get through that quest to this fresco. And if they do, it’s super easy to miss, just by flicking the camera too fast, because this fresco is BEHIND A DOOR hahaha, and because it’s dark! Anyway, because of this drawing, I’ve been whining all morning and floating around like a storm cloud above my keyboard.

So. We’ve got the qunari next to Solas, but there’s not even a hint of the Inqui. I don’t know, maybe the second qunari is supposed to be the Inquisitor? What a load of crap. Okay. How do you draw the Inqui here if everyone’s is different? Just add the Anchor? Didn’t we have enough Anchor symbolism in Inquisition? Where is the Inquisitor? Why add such an important moment (SOLAVELLANS, I’M HORRIFIED) and not include the Inqui?

And now let’s play riddles. Up top there are pieces of frescoes from the Skyhold rotunda. First there’s the tevinter magister from the third fresco of Solas, which appears after choosing the Templars or the mages. If you choose the mages, Solas paints two versions of the future, and at the center is a magister - Alexius, since he’s a key figure in that storyline. And now this magister is painted on the wall of the Minrathous. Is it the same magister? Alexius? Why is he here :( Or has this image now become a generalized representation of 'bad magisters'? Either way, there are even some long-forgotten magister, but no details that would hint at the key character - the Inquisitor. Was this really not that important all this time? 🥲  A reference to the temple of mythal and part of the fresco about the explosion at the conclave, the creation of the breach, and the wolf, black, with no white elements, as part of the conclave fresco. The absence of the second wolf on the right - it’s just empty lore imao It’s probably unlikely, but could this drawing here be meaningless? Maybe someone just added elements they liked? It reminds me of a podcast where the words of Solas and Elio’s ritual were the lyrics to the song 'I Am The One,' which played during the sex scenes in Origins. I didn’t know whether to laugh or focus.

In general I’m satisfied and unsatisfied at the same time. Can someone share their thoughts on this drawing with me, please? Or on all of this eh? <3

The frescos from Skyhold

I love how Veilguard adds just enough information to Thom's backstory that it adds to the hilarity of his situation. Here is a man that was so filled with regret that he watched a good man die, and took on his full identity in order to try and live up to his ideal and by extension escape the bloodied hands of his past. He became Blackwall in name to be an ideal, and he wore that with a false pride that gave him a reason to live... but as proud as he was of the name Blackwall, he simply couldn't take it one extra step and refer to himself as the Warden's first name. For all of Thom's respect for Blackwall, he simply COULD NOT go by the name of Gordon. That was his line. And who can blame him?

[yourworsttotebag]

Blackwall-mancers are probably familiar with the scene where you hook up in the stables and when you wake up he's already gone. But the option where you choose not to be alone with him is sort of hysterical because you're sitting next to each other in the tavern and he just suddenly vanishes mid conversation like he's Batman and you're Commisioner Gordon 😭

[sailingthewinedarksea]

Newsflash Blackwall’s first name was Gordon. Warden Gordon!

How much you wanna bet our Blackwall never even knew 🤣

[uchidachi]

Okay! New DA4 prediction post! Which very-dead character will make a surprise return?

In the reverse of the last poll, this is only for characters who die in every world state. Which means my poor little meow meow Jowan gets an honorable mention again. I also excluded bosses you defeat in battle, but maybe that will be a different poll in the future.

[asparklethatisblue]

An unfortunate side effect of romancing Blackwall… oopsie. At least Adaar can… tattoo the proper name over it. Eventually

[lavellanvibes]

You make me feel like springtime

[bharv]

One thing that is a clever work around for the not importing choices thing is (spoilers for the second big bit of the game)

The environmental letters in Weisshaupt.

We get a letter about Kristoff, the warden whose body Justice possessed.

We get a note about Gordon Blackwall, the man whose identity was stolen by Rainier.

We get a note about Malcom Hawke absconding with his family.

We get the chalice from Ostagar.

It’s all things about characters that informed the lives of characters we knew, so it’s completely set in the history.

It’s clever but… it’s also really emotionally bereft in a strange way. It makes me think they could have had a very generic plaque to the Hero of Ferelden that omitted the detail but still stated that there was a warden.

Everybody else is far too reliant on choices made really. But. Still.

[faneth]

blackwalls name was gordon???

[most-hated-blorbo-bracket]

any chance of an updated list?

Of course!!

Also, this is the NEW and FUCKING IMPROVED LIST, I alphabetized it so it’s even better than before >:3

Currently, we have 340 unique characters (if I counted right) and 487 total submissions. The top three most submitted fandoms are Homestuck, Danganronpa, and One Piece, excluding submissions that were spelt wrong or spelt differently. The top three submitted characters are Haiji Towa, Vriska Serket, and Stella Goeta (stella has so many submissions it’s funny)!

Finally, this is the raw, unedited list of characters submitted so far. Just because they are here doesn’t mean they’ll be in the tournament; it just means they’ve been submitted, regardless of media or what character they are!

as always, list under the cut!

This first list is for characters with two or more submissions. Characters who have three or more submissions will get first dibs in the tournament!
