oh merrill...
#I LOVE YOU MERRILL YOU MAKE ME INSANE#she did something mountainous and nobody cared. she reversed the effects of the blight with blood magic!!!#the lengths she went to to try and rediscover elven history...marethari how could you blame her when you were the one who taught her?#you told her how important elven history is#can you blame her for listening#i think isabela would understand.#merrill did something people didn't want her to do#and just like that people turned on her#her whole clan wanted her dead and the party slaughtered them..........augh#the banter between merrill and fenris after you kill the elves...fenris have you no heart#fenris! she LOVED THEM she did it ALL FOR THEM#you know what it's like to be betrayed by family#you know what it's like to kill the people you loved!!#yes i am talking about his sister#i believe he loved her#oh merrill.#merrill is so empathetic and powerful and perceptive. if you think she's stupid YOU are the stupid one#she might be the only one in da2 that knows what's going on#she is so? kind. even when people (anders and fenris) treat her like a child to be chastised#anyway. temporary companion amell who learns of what merrill's doing to fix the eluvian#and realizes that blood magic could hold a cure to the calling#my amell is like. neutral good. but it's been so ingrained in her that blood magic is dangerous and bad that she shies away from it#her holding a dagger to her hand squeezing her eyes shut and slashing her hand open#blood pours and circles around her like a hungry animal#dragon age you haunt me like a wronged spirit that craves to be heard#merrill#merrill art#dragon age#peren procreates#calm down per

if I was being uncharitable in my predictions, I feel like, given tevinter (mintharos if I'm not mistaken) was planned to be rebuilt into the epicenter of the thedas, the apparent dissolving of slavery would translate into ALL racist against elves being resolved, and ignoring the built in societal hurdles and pitfalls brought on by the dominate religion that forces elves into second class citizens due to its laws. the game may forget alienages BUT I WON'T.

it's almost impressive how much Dragon Age continuously fucks up its own lore with each consecutive installment

Fëanorian Week 2023, Day 5: Curufin (or Celebrimbor, rather)
Tumblr media
I have a similar problem with Curufin as I do with Caranthir: he’s just kind of there a lot of the time and kind of the only description of him is that he’s a mini version of Fëanor (and I was already going to be drawing Fëanor).  The one very notable thing he did was be father to Celebrimbor, who did plenty of notable things, including having a striking and vivid death (as opposed to Curufin who just got killed without detail or ceremony during the same battle as the other two C’s).  Therefore Celebrimbor gets to steal his dad’s day of Fëanorian Week.  Sorry, Curufin stans.

Okay okay BUT it would have been fascinating if Solas slowly grew his hair back as time went on in Inquisition.
This is probably just a cultural thing that I know, but my culture believes in shaving their head as a grief response. You have lost your loved ones? Lose your hair. And then your hair slowly grows back as the grief passes. Some Natives still observe it. And the Elvhen culture was heavily inspired by Native culture.
The Solas romance implies HEAVILY that Solas was almost convinced to not go through with his plans.
Like... It would have been so wild if your romance with him meant he let his hair grow in. It wouldn't have been exceptionally long, but he would have enough shag you'd have an inkling of what he might have looked like back in his Elvhenan days.
But then Trespasser happens and THE FUCKER SHAVED IT ALL OFF AGAIN. HE WONT LET GO OF HIS GRIEF. HE HAS SHAVED OFF HIS HAIR AND TURNED AWAY FROM YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND IT'S ONE BIG SYMBOL.
Idk it would have slapped. And idk, there also could have been some interesting brief lines of explanation from Solas about head shaving and "the traditions of his little village to the north."

I already had a thing for Liv Tyler prior to watching the LOTR Trilogy. Seeing her as Arwen intensified said THING...immensely!

Perhaps with the amount of androgynous men i feel deeply entranced by, i should have realized something was up with my gender sooner

ok you know. the Ellu in dav crossover au is very fun but i am a little bit enchanted by the concept of him AND Rynn at once. Best of both worlds in a sense.
#posts that sound like noise to everyone but me fdjgfd#but like. yeah rynn gets to be the main leader and have an emotional connection to the world he's fighting for#while not keeping emotional distance from everyone around him jkgfh#but then you ALSO have Ellu there to make some of the tougher choices that Rynn doesn't fully trust himself to make / would come to regret#(cough minrathous/treviso cough)#and willing to shelter the blame of it too so the guilt doesnt eat Rynn alive#and companion wise Rynn would actually know what the fuck to say to Taash for example. whereas Ellu is. *gesturing vaguely*#not equipped to understand these conversations. guy barely has a sense of personhood if that- much less knows what gender is#i feel like it makes all the companion dynamics so much more interesting actually#balancing out Rynn's kind naivete with a more experienced but also much more unhinged perspective fjkgdf#wait did i just invent Alistair and Orion dynamic 2.0. ...you saw nothing fdjghdf#yeah nah not really Orion is VERY different but funnily enough would approve of Ellu's choices way more than Rynn's 😭rip little guy#but yeah the companion arcs..#some pushback on Bellara freeing the archive because unlike them both Ellu's not saddled with misplaced guilt about the ancient elves#some pushback on the griffons going back to the wardens because. Ellu's not biased 😭#(though i still think they have a much better infrastructure for breeding them and ensuring they survive so Rynn could win that argument)#ellu and rynn being the angel and devil on harding's shoulders during her quest fkgj (not that one option is bad but you get the joke)#ellu getting psychic damage after hearing the concept of lichdom is a good thing here etc#also what the situation would be with Solas in two Rook world. all potential options are hysterical#Do they BOTH communicate with him in the fade prison? they both hate his ass - does he get twice the amount of bullying?#Ellu by the standards of his world probably counts as a spirit with a body in dragon age- so how does this affect things?#does Solas hear 'THAT'S your god of trickery??? pathetic' from what he sees as a spirit of chaos#and does that give him a teensy existential crisis fghhdfgh#also fun because ellu's age is intentionally impossible to gauge because fey time bullshit but could very well be in the thousands#on technicality of time dilation at the very least#so placing that little idiot in this world is SO fun.. so many options..#'wah wah i'm the dread wolf I have no spine when i have to do what's right but my slaver girlfriend doesnt agree#but i will end a world inhabited by people because they're mortal now and i dont see them as people :( ' GET A GRIP GRADPA#-> said by guy who may be older than him

Also now that I'm done having a hate love rs with the new sub classes, just gonna make you look at my idiot again cuz he's pretty and got exactly 3 moods, annoyed by grace of existing, contemptuous blood pervert 'yay violence' and ofc the confusion. Theres reasons why I won't let go of 'he has downturned lips'. It's a fact. He's physically incapable of smiling or smth atp.

Also ofc the obligatory pain of rejecting (and ig stabbing) men who think they'd make great gods. Weird how often that happens to him huh?

I can't stop drawing fantasy ocs (just their faces tho, I don't have the motivation nor the skill to draw their whole bodies), and I accidentally made a party of old men adventurers and one non binary bitch (lovingly) elf.
The young elf probably forced their uncle and his old party members to go on an adventure with them, since no one else can stand this rude teenage elf.
Another member of the party, one of the old boys, is a deranged halfling monk, so uh yeah.
