Spite Wants To Set A Flame

Lucanis (and by extension, Spite) have been helping Bellara with her romance novel. Flowery language and smut metaphors lead Spite to some surprising conclusions.

As someone on the autism spectrum, I remember struggling with interpreting metaphor as a young person A LOT. As soon as it was introduced in Veilguard that Bellara was writing some smutty fanfiction, the first thoughts I had were "Oh, the neurospicy gang is gonna struggle." (Mainly Taash and Spite.)

This is fanfiction written by me, @ellie-writes-games. These are NOT actual screenshots from the game. Peace, love, and mad props to the DA writers.

- Walk It Off -

The relationship between Lucanis and Taash is one of an extremely patient mentor and an eager and willing student. If Taash was injured, Lucanis would have the utmost faith in their ability to push through the discomfort and get back to what they do best.

Of course, Spite would interject but everyone ignores him anyway.

The Spanish phrase “Sana, sana, colita de rana” is a common saying used by parents in Latino communities to comfort children who have been hurt or fallen.

I love the fact that Lucanis interjects Spanish into his conversations with various companions. As someone who deeply understands 'code-switching,' it's extremely endearing to see him 'slip.'

Rook trying to learn about the companions' backstories and personalities like -

[viennacherries]

"wtf are u guys yapping about?" - rook, probably

[ellie-shy]

❄️ : Turns out you can smile. A real one, even. And more than once.

🐦‍⬛ : Of course I can. *sigh* I'm guessing there's a point to your observations?

❄️ : Only that Rook's good for you.

🌹 : Straight to the point...

🐦‍⬛ : She's right, though.

❄️ : See? Now, isn't that sweet?

Viago: Nicolò!

Nico: What—Viago?? What are you doing here?

Viago: What do you mean what am I doing here? You were gone, you idiot! You were—

Nico: And...now we're hugging. Okay. Do we do that?

Viago: Shut up.

Nico: I'm guessing you missed me then.

Viago: Of course I missed you. You are my brother. My family.

Nico: Oh. Guess all I had do to was get locked in the Fade for a few weeks for you to finally admit you love me, huh?

Viago: Don't do that. Not now.

Nico: Sorry. For the record? I missed you too.

____________________________________

Nico: So. How many of my team did you yell at when you found out I was gone?

Viago: I did not yell.

Nico: Uh huh.

Viago: I didn't!

Nico: Sure. You're a very measured and well-regulated person. Everyone says so.

Viago: ...it was just Lucanis.

Viago: And I apologized afterwards.

____________________________________

Nico: How many people did Teia yell at?

Viago: Oh, everyone.

Viago: But that was almost entirely because we wouldn't let her storm into Minrathous alone to slit the Dread Wolf's throat for what he did to you.

Nico: This is why she's my favorite Talon.

Lucanis: This is why she is everyone's favorite Talon.

I know. I know. I know I know I know. The fandom REALLY likes the idea of Spite being...uh, active, in Rookanis. Here's the rub: the pure, delicious, indulgent fan-made stuff is out there and it is KILLER.

But that's kind of not my goal. The fun and the challenge of writing this kind of content, for me anyway, is playing within the limits of what the game gave us. Making it as close to some of the wonderful dynamics that are already there with the cast of Veilguard, and just playing. I'm also a game writer. Not for Bioware, no, but I do this kind of stuff for a living. I have mad respect for the folks who have shaped this world and the characters we all know and love. This is one of those weird personal lines where I don't want to step too far out of the canon with a set of characters that you can spend literally over a hundred hours with in a single playthrough. I think that gives us a pretty clear idea of what they were going for, whether or not it's your personal headcanon. Some wickedly talented folks poured a lot of time into fleshing out this found family and their delightful little interpersonal dynamics, and I want to try and honor that. I apologize to the Church of Spite and it's many devoted followers. I wish you all the spiciest of fics. Just know that's not where this is going. ✌😘

Lucanis tells Spite to shut up and go play with the wisps when he and Neve have sex 😭 (t/s below)

Taash: Hey, Lucanis

Lucanis: Yes?

Taash: You and Neve?

Lucanis: Yes.

Taash: Nice catch.

Lucanis: Thanks.

Taash: And Spite's good with her?

Lucanis (Spite): No talking. When. Her hat comes off. Go play with wisps.

Taash: 'Kay.

Party banter [complete] | Dragon Age: Veilguard

In case you need 6-hours of character banter to study, DanaDuchy has done an amazing job compiling ALL the party banter for all the companion combinations. Be sure to check out all their channel's banter videos.

It's been extremely helpful for me to listen to, to try and get a better voice down for the characters in my writing.

Also, maybe Taash's and Neve's voice does to something to me. Column A, Column B.

p.s. Taash & Harding start at 05:24:49. 👀
