cody, picking up a stray datapad: :)
obi-wan: cody, dear, that's not yours.
cody: ni ceta, force of habit. i do believe i've gotten rather used to picking up after you,
obi-wan: ... i'm not that bad, am i?
cody:
obi-wan: cody?
cody, sighing as he begins to count on his fingers: robes, lightsaber, datapad, stylus, skywalker–

mac & dennis: two sides of the same abandonment issues coin.
dennis pushing people away and leaving them so nobody can get the chance to leave him first vs mac needing constant contact and trying to be the "protector" so people feel safe enough to stay with him. their relationship being built on abandonment issues and a revolving door of "please dont leave me" with dennis' "i need to be the one who leaves" vs mac's "i need to make you stay" complexes, which is why their relationship works so well. theyve perfected this method of tug of war, where dennis will pull away and mac will pull him back, or mac will pull away and dennis will pull him back -- nobody else can perfect this method better than themselves; theyve been doing this for 20+yrs after all

That post about everything being "Nah" I felt in my core. I'll always respect people who identify differently but when they ask me "what's your pronouns?" Or "where do you lie romanticaly?" I'm just "eh call me whatever you want I guess" or *I don't feel romantically for much anything" maybe cause online people always thought I'm one gender and irl people always thought I was the other so I just responded with "sure I guess"
and it's honestly such an easier way to live ngl... like when it comes to people who Know that i use they/them, it hurts to hear my given pronouns. but when it comes to strangers and just people who i haven't told, it's like... "yeah. ok. ill put on this hat" it feels a bit like a performance. it feels Mischievous, even! ohoho, they've been Tricked!

I know you have to choose the option but the farewell conversation that sticks most in my head in the Gallows is with Carver where Hawke can say something along the lines of 'This is how we're supposed to be, side by side' and he tells them they know it can't be like that forever.
Like, my Hawke at least spent so much of her life building her identity in service of her family. Hawke most resembles their father no matter what, and the family is shaped around them narratively (if you're a mage or not deciding which sibling you lose first and how that class effects how those siblings feel about themselves and their place in the family) and they shape themselves around their family in turn, exist for them, takes up the role of leader after Malcolm has passed. The answers of where Hawke considers home when they're asked never felt right, because they lived on the run for so many of their formative years, the true answer feels like to me to be their home is their family, the place never mattered beyond being allowed to rest and not look over their shoulder every day.
What happens to that identity when everyone you built it around is gone? Where would they consider home when it's all said and done? The Amell estate was something they got for their mother, one of the answers they can give to Varric in Act 2 on what they plan to do now is watch over their mother, Carver tells Hawke to look after her when the expedition separates them. Then their mother is gone too.
There's no final statement for this since it's just me rambling, but it's hm, sad to think about. Who is Hawke if they aren't living for the sake of another, when all those they lived for are gone and they never felt at home anywhere but in the people they surrounded themselves with?
