Every time I think about the difference between Mourn Watch and Non-Mourn Watch Rook in regards to Emmrich, I lose my mind

The rites in his first scene, for one, where if you don't have the MW option your Rook just sits there and goes..... uh. spirit...? hi??

And then in his description of those rites he has to COMPLETELY dumb it down, and hearing Emmrich explain anything in layman's terms is incredibly funny

Then he explains his childhood; (Spoilery spoilers from here)

MW Rooks have a moment of solidarity and everyone else has a moment of... What the fuck?! They put an ORPHAN WHERE?! and he has to reconsider his very life choices because . Why am I being glared at for being basically raised by skeletons.

And THEN in his second scene in the Necropolis, he's gathering flowers for the dead, as he says, and he's explaining the concept of lichdom, and the contrast there is priceless;

Mourn Watch Rook (Though with Cyvin I did romance him, so perhaps it's different again outside of that) will ask questions specifically about being a lich- even if its scary, Emmrich will explain it in a rather good amount of detail, and they converse about worries and fears and such. He goes on to continue explaining for several more lines.

And then.... And then my dear sweet Grey Warden. She doesn't even know what a lich IS never-mind what it does, and so Emmrich is essentially like., "Hi! I have the opportunity to warp myself into an undead!" She's like "I'M SORRY?"

She's been traumatised. Clearly. Never sleeping again. He doesn't even explain the ins and outs of it if you don't share in his knowledge.. perhaps for fear of traumatising you further?

But then she asks very simple questions in very simple terms like she's trying to get him NOT to do this instantly . Because the idea's scared her off so much, while a mourn watcher goes through and asks questions much more calmly

And obviously she wouldn't know ins and outs because she's not a Mourn Watch? I simply thought seeing Non-MW! Rook after my Cyvin was very funny <3 Ellorena you don't know what ghosts are and that's very dear to me

(Also the fact that they put this much detail into different faction reactions at all is very nice... I love you Mourn Watch <3)

Went looking for unrelated screenshots and now my bones hurt. The worry in his eyes. He's so miserable. IM now miserable.

lrb (do people say that here Oh No) but

I keep thinking about how Emmrich, the man with the crippling fear of death, the man who has a panic attack if he thinks of his own mortality for long enough, fell in love with the absolute idiot who cannot go ten minutes without trying to drown themselves.

Rook? Can't swim. Scared of heights. INCREDIBLY reckless on the battlefield no matter how good you are at the game. Keeps getting KICKED IN THE TITS BY A DRAGON. Has the directional sense of a headless chicken.

I'm just saying what's probably already been said but that man has grey hair because of us. Emmrich Volkarin thank you for still loving me after having to pull my broken body out of a very shallow lake for the fifth time in five minutes.

staring at my rook (bc im entirely nomral) and i've noticed the bottom of their vallaslin looks a lot like the mourn watch symbol? ofcourse its not exact but

they both look like little beetles... ✨ foreshadowing ✨, especially with their vallaslin being Falon'Din and his ties to death and the dead. wroaw

doing up profiles for my different worldstates, some but not all listed above <3 (the top three are also wips)

but for Hope specifically, my second state's Hawke, I wanted a different nickname than just 'Hawke', because that feels so integral to my FIRST Hawke that it felt strange even if they're on different worldstates

And I figured Varric would derive from Hawke and choose something sweeter sounding, because Hope is sweetness incarnate, and Birdy came to mind, and now I need to lay down.

Birdy and Blondie.... I gotta go
