#it won't let go of me

Bear with me for a second here, but I have been thinking about the curse that Gaius Ateius Capito uses on Crassus as he is heading out of Rome towards the East, especially in the way it is described in Plutarch:

But the thing is that Crassus does "escape" the curse. He and his son both die in Parthia, but the curse cannot die there. So Cassius survives, against all the odds, he should not have survived, but the curse needs someone to survive and to take it back to Rome. He drags that curse back, drags it back with the corpse of Crassus and with the corpse of Publius, and with the corpses of all the other Romans who died at Carrhea Parthia. Back to Rome to finish what it started - destroying the triumvirate that has divided Rome amongst themselves. So Cassius is the hand by which the curse operates - he organizes the plot against Caesar, he strikes a blow against him, and then, when another Caesar raises their head he leads the main resistance against him.

But! Killing Caesar is also an aberration in Roman politics. Killing Caesar is also a threat against the Republic. You can't just kill a senator and get away with it, and you've also released an even worse threat, a worse Caesar. Cassius also becomes a threat to the Republic, so at the end, the same hand of Cassius has to turn on himself.

As someone who lived in a home where it was not safe to be queer but their first love was their same-sex best friend, I really cannot emphasize the importance of characters like Charles Rowland enough. As someone who deals with shame from years of self-hate, repression, happy-masking, and being called a "Token ally" by even my queer friends while feeling wrong wrong wrong about it, and being the kind of person who just didn't "Look queer enough" or whatever the fuck arbitrary, exclusionist rhetoric people would casually hurl about, I just really can't believe we have a character like him.

He's complex and deeply scarred and I've never cared about a character like this before. I've never felt so "Seen." I can't wait to save this show because seeing him heal will be like a balm on my heart. His character arc is completely unique and handled with such care that it brings tears to my eyes.

That's all. I am just so deeply thankful for & emotional about Charles Rowland tonight.

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)

The best kind of characters Brennan Lee Mulligan plays (objective and true):

sentimental henchmen

single mothers

the most pathetic person you've ever seen

a CEO (bonus if monologue)

just a little guy that's also a little fucked up actually

insane old men (bonus if wizard)

the one normal guy here

(if I missed any feel free to add them in the tags or whatnot 🕺)
