#nett plays datv

i'll be honest the devs going on the internet to retroactively fill in the blanks is kinda giving "dumbledore is gay actually"

19, 27, 39 for deia, evander and matthas???❤️

LOVE U NETT MWAH MWAH <3

19. What is Rook’s love language? What love languages do they respond best to?

deia's is answered here but for matthas and evander....... HM..... i think for matthas his would be acts of service :3 he struggles with the weight of his whole family being dependent on him, and it makes him stressed and irritable and difficult to relax with. i think someone helping to minimize those burdens and showing him they HE can be taken care of sometimes, and that he can let his guard down around you, would be really quite like profound to him lmao. it could even fix him dare i say.

and as for evander, thats a tough one. i think he'd say physical touch because he's a harlot but i think he's secretly a quality time guy like deia is. in fact id go so far as to say physical touch is not nearly half as important as he thinks it is for him, and all he really wants is someone to go on adventures with and stand by him for no other reason than that they care about him :)

27. When was the last time they cried?

for matthas, the last time he cried was after evander betrayed the inquisition (for solas lol) and subsequently got the entire trio kicked out. AND pissed off ashara, the ONE woman matthas has been in love with for 6 years LMAO. the betrayal of his brother doing that and destroying the one thing matthas had that he loved so much was just devastating.

for evander, i think he cried more recently, just before datv takes place. for several years he'd been estranged from the family, operating as an agent of fen'harel. and then (disclaimer: PURE hc, since veilguard does not address this at All 🙃) solas's instructions stop coming in, and all his agents are essentially left anchorless without his correspondence. evander feels especially abandoned by the man and the cause because he had quite literally thrown away EVERYTHING for this. and he blames himself, because its easier to blame himself than to concede that solas was maybe not the best person to place ones faith in lol

for deia, i don't think she cries too much honestly which may surprise some given how she looks like the biggest babiest crybaby on earth. but she tends to hold it together pretty well. i think she often cried alone in private after missions with the shadow dragons, missions which she completely successfully but completely alone, and so every victory left her feeling hollow and empty until she met up with varric. and speaking of varric - obviously getting into veilguard territory here - i do think after his 😐 injury 😐she would randomly wake up from dreams or even just daydreams to find she had been silently but steadily crying. and not really understanding why but getting this inexplicably urge to go talk to varric in the infirmary until the feeling went away. until act 3 happens and suddenly she very much understands lol.

finally doubling back to evander and matthas. during the events of veilguard they do cry as well and its because . well . imagine youre evander for example, a (former) agent of fen'harel and now a hardingmancer. youre brother is a bellaramancer. your sister is a varricmancer. and you just completed the ghilan'nain fight on tearstone island lol :) varrics dead, hardings dead, bellaras gone, your sister is gone. for weeks. yeah. they cried a LOT.

39. What is their room at The Lighthouse like?

oh this is SO CUTE ARE U KIDDING I HAVENT EVEN THOUGHT OF THISSSSSS im glad we're ending on a happier note after that last answer JKGJKFJGK

deia def stays in solas's meditation room. i think there's smth poignant about her connection to solas. he is the cause of her brothers' ultimate irreparable family breakdown but hes also their one chance at reconciling. and he reminds deia of them!!! theyre lost too !!!! :( so being close to solas makes her feel close to her brothers and vice versa. i think she'd try to respect his space as best as possible while also bringing it to life a bit more. if she found any of his obviously cherished keepsakes she would add her own to his. she color codes his books. she feeds his fish. LMAO.

evander would occupy the music room. he likes secret puzzle rooms bc he is a rogue first and a person second. its a good place to hide, and since he's a bit of a pariah at the start of the game he VALUES a place to hide his face when things get too heated out there. he'd also use it as an opportunity to learn more about solas, to reinforce his rose-tinted perspective on the guy. and hes a romantic at heart!! he definitely would terrorize that lute found on solas's bed and the natural light would help him wake up easier in the mornings.

that leaves matthas, who i think would occupy the top room in the lighthouse - solas's office. he would take it strategically in an attempt to "know the enemy" and would NOT be respectfully about the guys property lmao. i also think it helps that the room is so distant from everyone elses quarters. he feels alienated and out of place and especially being around evander again, he needs a place to come and just be himself for a few hours.

i think its funny that all the rooms are chosen for very solas specific reasons, but as the game progresses and they separating their own personhood from their feelings on the guy, the rooms start to feel more like Them :)

has someone drawn lucanis x rook x spite as this one photo bc holy shit

[ambrosykim]

isn't it crazy that varric died not having gotten over bianca

[ambrosykim]

pure evil!!!

my rook is a mourn watcher necromancer and both endings would be such a good fit for her for different reasons. (read below!)

pros for lich emmrich:

the thought of her and their love being immortalised through him means so much to her (him remembering her for the rest of time…). she surrounds herself with skeletons (like her reanimated cat among others), so not only would she be comfortable with him being a lich she would also think it very hot. she has strong feelings on death, she usually wakes up and decides she would not die that day no matter what, so emmrich choosing to extend his life rather than live with the uncertainty is sg that she wholeheartedly supports. she wouldn't need to worry about being left alone after his death which helps with her abandonment issues and feeling like belonging to someone.

pros for human emmrich:

adalina has always felt abandoned by her parents (bc they left her at the necropolis, they clearly didn't want her), so having manfred as their son/ward would be so fulfilling for her (family unit…). having a joint coffin and tombstone would be the ultimate romance for her. she's that meme of dreamily sketching their joint tombstone. since emmrich would likely die before her, she dreams of being the one embalming him. she could then display his mummified body in her workshop/house, so he can still be a part of her everyday life until they're lowered in the ground together. she could detach one of his finger's digits and keep it with her whenever she's away from him.

[ambrosykim]

can someone put me down i can't do this anymore

[ambrosykim]

no thoughts only my rook lovingly giving manfred a goodnight kiss on the forehead while emmrich watches from a distance, completely smitten like

[ambrosykim]

meet adalina ingellvar, necromancer at the mourn watch. lover of emmrich volkarin. before being recruited by varric, she hadn't seen the sun in over a decade. she has a pet cat called echo. she kisses her skeletons goodnight. she dreams of embalming her dead lover. her best feature is her dead eyed stare. her hair is greying. she refuses to die before she wants to.

i think now that the archdemon caused blights are over, theyre gonna move on to the twelve armies of horrors that ghilan'nain created

in horror of hormak its revealed that there are mutated darkspawn (extra arms, legs, heads etc) and people turned into monsters most likely with the blight. it is also revealed, that these armies of horrors are in eleven other locations (so 12 in total)

now in horror of hormak, the original party had no plans to return and warned others not to follow them. in veilguard the only reference to hoh is some party banter between bellara and davrin:

b: there was one place with kind of a deep roads. right on the southern edge of the forest.

d: what do you mean "was"?

b: veil jumpers that found it destroyed the entrance. sealed themselves in. left a note telling us not to enter. we sent a second patrol, right up to the debris, they heard laughing for two days, then nothing.

d: well that's a problem.

d: those veil jumpers, the ones who collapsed the deep roads entrance? reminds me of ramesh.

b: who's that?

d: warden i know. found some trouble in an old thaig and collapsed a mountain on it. some of the things he said he saw there though... your story just reminded me of it.

b: creepy.

this leads me to believe (hope) that this is not the last we will see of ghilan'nains creations and hopefully they will be further explored in the future, potentially as Blights

[ambrosykim]

listening to dai banter and

the way solas could calm cole down from what is practically a panic attack, as if he knew what would work from experience.......

just. imagine solas having to adjust to the world and his own body with nobody there to help him, forced to figure out having a physical body for the first time and adjusting to the world at the same time..................

[ambrosykim]

the fact that we can go casually drinking with isabela while we'd just watched one of her oldest friends die

[ambrosykim]

cant believe solas fumbled this baddie

[ambrosykim]

it's giving "her pronouns are they/them😠"

[ambrosykim]

playing veilguard is a full time job and im clocked in etc
