dragon age oc tarot series — brendan trevelyan — temperance !

temperance is depicted as a genderless angel balanced between one foot on the rocks, expressing the need to stay grounded, and one foot in the water, showing the need to be in flow. in their hands, water pours forth from between two cups, symbolizing the super and subconscious minds. the water flowing between them, suggesting unity and infinity.

in the background, there is a winding path up to a mountain range, reflecting the journey through life. above the mountains hovers a golden crown encased in a glowing light, a symbol of taking the higher path and staying true to one’s life purpose and meaning.

it is the card for bringing balance, patience and moderation into your life. to stabilize you energy and to allow the life force to flow through you without force or resistance. it’s time to recover that flow and bring back order and balance.

embodiment of love

i wasnt tagged but i saw this uquiz on the dash a couple of days ago and i'm insane about my ocs so i'm doing these for my dragon age babes (and then my fallout ocs)

finnola tabris - hero of ferelden

love as tenderness

[ love as gentleness after a lifetime of cruelty ] when ocean vuong said "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined" and when pablo neruda said "like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar" and when anais mitchell wrote "all i've ever known is how to hold my own, and now i wanna hold you, too”

thatcher hawke - champion of kirkwall

love as violence

[ love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs ] when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine"

brendan trevelyan - herald of andraste

love as light

[ love as a luminous force—warm, radiant, and golden ] when mary oliver wrote "light of the world hold me” and when charles bukowski said “I look at her and light goes all through me” and when david viscott said “to love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides” and when e. e. cummings said “lovers alone wear sunlight”

rava lavellan - inquisitor

love as being known

[ love is knowing all of someone and loving them anyway ] when tim kreider said "if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" and when joe wright said "the idea that these two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. that they recognized each other from their future" and when micah nemerever said "it was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly"

anyways much happier with him this time around even if his scar is on the wrong side of his face :)

i have to stress that i made brendan 20 at the start on inquisition and he’s all grace and humility, and scared shitless of being called the herald, while embracing people’s faith and trying to do right by them, and AT MOST, he’s 22 by the time they defeat corypheus and the inquisition is cemented into legend, and 24 by the time of trespasser (if im scuffing the timelines idc it’s my right) when the world is suddenly pulled out from under him by someone who he trusted, respected, and looked to for guidance.

all this is to say when he and solas are finally face-to-face again in datv and brendan is now 32, missing an arm (thanks pal), with permanent dark circles (because he hasn’t had a single good night of sleep since the anchor was removed), and a receding hairline, the stress of the years since written plainly on his face AND IS STILL insisting to everyone around him that solas is good and can be reasoned with in spite of it ALL… oh i hope it hurts like hell.

dorian sends a letter to brendan the minute he hears varric recruited that mercar kid from the shadow dragons for the solas job and is like 'i dont know how exactly but i have a feeling things are going to erupt into chaos here very shortly... prepare for the worst! all my love!'

[kissingwookiees]

caelus: you tricked me and threw me in a prison of your own making after everything i did to help stop the evanuris! fuck you and keep your apology! solas: i make no apologies! brendan: 🥺 solas: except to him. caelus: yeah, understandable.

[kissingwookiees]

i guess it really depends... how bad does the inquisitor want to be?

digging through my big giant dragon age google doc where i just dump everything i've ever written about it as it comes to me and found this gem i'd completely forgotten about
