This doesn’t have to mean you agree with them morally. It’s ok to like a villain for being an interesting character.

*Characters who have EVER been controllable party members are not included (e.g. even though Leliana is an NPC in DA2 and DAI, she is controllable in DAO and therefore does not count). Romanceable NPCs (Cullen and Josephine) have also been left out in the interest of giving everyone else a chance.

Claire and Byleth for the OPT and NoTPs!

Clare - I used to have her with Alistair as my OTP, but now I’m pretty solidly on team Ser Gilmore for her (specifically, @soulcluster’s Rory). Clare is hard to ship — she’s closed-off to a certain extent because absolutely nothing and no one can or will ever come before her mission. Pre-blight, I think she liked the IDEA of flirting and romance, but she was always in love with Rory, and that always felt impossible because she’s second to royalty and his family is ranked lower. She never cared personally about his rank compared to hers, but the restraints of nobility made it feel impossible. In a canon setting, she’s still grieving his death as her first love and doesn’t see the point in trying with anyone else. (She’s prone to very black and white thinking, which was another survival mechanism she fell into.)

Now as a commander, she’s more or less accepted that love and romance aren’t in the cards for her because she’s needed so much to be The Commander by so many people. She’s not unhappy about the responsibility she bears but I think part of that is a trauma response because she had absolutely no choice — it was fight or die, and “fight, grit, win” became her entire personality.

Anything that was lighthearted inside of her died at Highever. What survived is the ruthlessness and brute force strength needed to accomplish the impossible.

However~ I’d still love for someone to actually catch her attention (and then watch as she subsequently roasts them in an attempt to flirt because she’s been a soldier and war commander for so long she has no idea how to NOT be that anymore). I think that person, if they aren’t Rory aka the last vestige of light inside of her, would probably have to be very opposite to her, at least to a certain extent.

Realistically, I can’t see her with someone who’s TOO soft/bubbly, who struggles with her sharp edges, or who can’t understand that she sees herself as a weapon before she sees herself as a woman.

(Deep down I think she still wants the romance, but she’s more or less made peace with the fact that it’s probably not going to happen for her in this lifetime.)

Anyone who tries to romance her needs to understand that the only thing separating her from being a tyrant is that she’s aggressively progressive/supporting of social safety nets, and pro-mage/elven equality, and will not hear otherwise. The old guard is dead and she’s the one who killed them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NOTPs for her, I think she’d want to knife S.olas LMAO. She’s not thrilled with Blackwell either for lying, but she recognizes he still tried to do good things. Just…don’t expect an invite to her table.

———

As for Byleth, my otp for her is Claudeleth, specifically @armatization’s. I think that was my first real ship with Byleth too 🤔 but to me they’re a great match and bounce off each other so well, especially with how my Byleth has come into creation. They’re both clever and crafty people who understand the practical side of things and both want to help people. They’re just *chefs kiss*

Other ships I greatly and immensely enjoy IS OFC BYLETH WITH UR FELIX!! I never saw that ship coming tbh but I really enjoy it and I think they also click and bounce off each other super well. I’m so happy we started writing them together 🖤

Other ships I enjoy, I like her with Dimitri and also Sylvain. I think I might actually like her with Sylvain more than I like her with Dimitri… I’m not sure, I go back and forth, but I really enjoy both of those dynamics too.

I don’t have a lot of Notps for Byleth actually, just a couple that I’m not into for plot reasons but it’s nbd.

Anneliese Cousland

Born in 9:11 Dragon, Anneliese was the youngest daughter of Eleanor and Bryce Cousland. From a young age, she showed an interest in sword play, and soon, her father had her trained as a warrior, though Anneliese was still fond of the "softer arts" (as her mother put it), such as embroidery.

She grew into a beautiful and very tall woman, as she's 1,90 m. She has had a few marriage propositions but she has turned them all down, because she wants to live a little first before settiling down. She's bisexual, and has had a few flings with some other noble girls and servants. She also had a massive crush on Ser Gilmore and before the beggining of the game, considered pursuing a relationship with him. On the night of Howe's attack, however, she was sleeping with Iona.

Anneliese is a very strong warrior and extremely capable in combat, though her phisique, in the past, has made her a bit insecure, as other noble ladies were not as physically strong as her, and it's why when wearing dresses, she prefers a looser fit.

She has a silver tongue and is very charming, with a only few words being able to make others change their minds.

After the events of the prologue, and when she reaches Ostagar, Anneliese is very monotone and barely responsive, and up until the Joining, she was pretty much on air plane mode. Alistair's humor, however, was a nice distraction.

I'm not going to describe right now her whole journey during the game, so here's a very quick run down:

Major choices:

Helped Redcliff defend itself against the undead and killed Connor.

Sided with the mages

Got Zathrien to end the werewolf curse

Sided with Caridin and crowned Bhelen as king

Did NOT defile the ashes and saved Arl Eamon

Killed the tevinter slavers in the Alienage

Alistair killed Loghain and was chosen as king in the Landsmeet

Got Alistair to do the Dark Ritual with Morrigan

Survived killing the Archdemon and was crowned queen of Fereldan with Alistair.

In regards to companions:

Recruited everyone except for Shale and completed all their quests

Hardened Alistair and Softened Leliana

Romanced Alistair, but she slept with Zevran first

Is besties with Sten and sees Wynne almost as a mother figure

Threesome with Alistair and Isabela

Did not kill Flemeth and lied to Morrigan about it

🤍                  PERSONALITY                  ;

A personalidade da desastrosa Nemaya. 

Por muito tempo, tudo que conheceu foi pesos de academia e flexões. Então, é de se imaginar que Nemaya não seja a pessoa que leva mais jeito com socializações possível. Muitas vezes, é pega falando algo que, para muitos, é indelicado ou até mesmo grosseiro, não conseguindo controlar a língua. É claro que também existe uma grande arrogância de sua parte, que faz com que seja excessivamente sarcástica, afinal tem noção do seu físico e acha que, só por isso, já coloca isso em uma posição elevada em relação a maioria das pessoas. 

Nemaya se demonstra, no entanto, tem um certo carisma que faz com que alguns não consigam tirar os olhos dela, principalmente quando faz alguma piadinha totalmente errada. Não se engane muito, pois ela sabe exatamente o que fazer para garantir que seja o centro das atenções. Além disso, é extremamente leal a quem se demonstra leal ela. Ah, mas se você fizer algo contra ela... Que Merlin te proteja! 

🤍                  BACKGROUND                  ;

O começo da vida de Nemaya foi um borrão de vazio e inconstâncias. As brigas entre Hércules e Megara eram uma certeza nos dias da criança, que vivia em uma guerra interna entre os dois. A genitora desejava a liberdade dos compromissos que envolviam ser a mulher de um semideus, enquanto ele se orgulhava firmemente de tudo que havia conquistado. A criança não era levada em consideração em qualquer momento, sendo criada por qualquer um exceto eles. Pareciam mais preocupados em destruir um ao outro do que com o que tinha sido o fruto daquele amor, que parecia não existir mais. Escutava, dentro do minúsculo quarto, os gritos e sons de objetos quebrando, revelando o quão perturbador era o relacionamento deles. Desde pequena, para Nemaya, o amor era feito de dor e brigas, nunca conhecendo ele de outra forma. Para ela, romance era intensidade o tempo todo. Mesmo com as brigas, na cabeça da menina, eles continuavam se amando apesar dos desentendimentos.

Tudo mudou quando Megara abandonou a casa que um dia tinha chamado de lar. Não sabe-se ao certo para onde ela foi, assim como as últimas palavras contendo mais ódio para aquela família que supostamente existia. Hércules não acreditou nenhum segundo que a esposa não voltaria, então falava para Nemaya que era tudo drama de uma mulher magoada. Depois de alguns meses sem retorno, Hércules perdeu a esperança, começando a colocar culpa na filha, que supostamente competia com a genitora e fazia com que Megara se sentisse inferior. Tentando não pensar na separação, o homem colocou na cabeça que a filha também teria o destino de ser uma grande guerreira, em um projeto mais pessoal do que pelo desejo da criança. Assim, o pai tornou-se o personal trainer da jovem. Comida restrita, muitos levantamentos de peso e muitas abdominais diárias. Ela podia ter apenas 8 anos, mas nunca é cedo demais para começar a praticar exercícios físicos! O shake proteico fazia parte do seu dia-a-dia, assim como uma boa barra de proteína pré-treino. McEvil nos finais de semana? Com certeza era proibido para Nemaya.

Ficou fadada a ser apenas o experimento de rato de academia do pai, vivendo o sonho de ser forte que nem ele, mesmo que jamais fosse acontecer. Enquanto isso, havia o impacto em não ter mais qualquer contato com a mãe, que era grande. Mesmo que desejasse enviar cartas para ela, tentando manter qualquer mínimo de contato, não conseguia descobrir o verdadeiro destino dela. Para Nemaya, era apenas uma confirmação do que o genitor tinha falado: era tudo culpa da sua existência. Assim, tomou como verdade aquilo, vivendo conforme o pai desejava, afinal apenas assim faria com que Hércules se afastasse. Por mais doloroso que fosse, ainda sim desejava ter uma família, desejando agradá-lo a qualquer custo.

A entrada em Tremerra representava supostamente a libertação para Nemaya, que não precisava viver atormentada pela ideia de Megara e pela pressão de Hércules. No entanto, as cartas enviadas constantemente para si por Hércules eram indício que jamais seria verdadeira livre da pressão que o genitor colocava na garota. Entrou nos Leões, assim como Hércules esperava e continuava com aquela maldita dieta, mesmo que uma vez ou outra conseguisse escapar. Quando sofreu o acidente, caindo do dragão, Nemaya foi impossibilitada de continuar no dragonball, o que foi um grande choque para a família. Ninguém sabia ao certo como reagir.

🤍                  POWER                  ;

Manipulação de corações.

O coração das pessoas irradiam emoções, fazendo com que Nemaya consiga ler através das cores presentes e da intensidade nas quais os corações brilham. Não pode evitar ver os corações de vez em quando involuntariamente (ou quando está curiosa), o que pega muitas vezes franzindo o cenho ao perceber as cores de alguém. Quando alguém está muito feliz, por exemplo, o coração irradia de uma forma quase cegante. Quando toca em outros, também consegue ver memórias associadas aos sentimentos que o coração implica, mas acontecem de maneira muito superficial. É muito útil, no entanto, quando percebe manchas escuras, por exemplo, tendo uma compreensão melhor das ações alheias. É frequentemente vista com dores de cabeça devido a intensidade de ficar recebendo sentimentos alheios o tempo todo.

🤍                  DAEMON                  ;

Conheça a Erato, dragão fêmea.

Sendo uma fêmea, recebeu o nome de Erato, em homenagem a uma das musas de quem o pai tanto falava. O contraste das íris púrpuras com as escamas pretas como ébano é algo que chama atenção, principalmente pela iridescência que as escamas parecem ter. Um amigo de Nemaya já brincou que parece que Erato sugou toda a luz do mundo, sendo a razão das escamas que tem um efeito único. De qualquer forma, mesmo que não seja o maior Wyvern já visto, é definitivamente um animal grande e excessivamente pesado. Por conta disso, o comportamento dele é um tanto preguiçoso, sempre dormindo e muito difícil de ser acordado se não desejar. Se tentar acordá-la antes da hora de alimentá-la, provavelmente receberá um olhar significativo para deixá-la em paz. Bem, não acontecerá nada demais caso não o faça, mas vai que Erato se revolta algum dia? Melhor não arriscar!

8, 18, 26, & 30 for eniko, lira & minah

thanks! // romance & relationship headcanons

8. is your muse a good kisser? are they experienced or inexperienced?

ENIKO — he's a great kisser. loads of experience. bona fide expert. it's a useful skill to have in his repertoire so obviously he cultivated it LIRA — decent kisser, decent experience. she never really had anything serious going on romantically growing up, but she had a nice time fooling around with a few people (she and ser gilmore decided early on that they weren't compatible romantically, but they had fun together). she's experienced enough to know what she likes and what she doesn't MINAH — good kisser, lots of experience. absolutely had a Teach Me How To Kiss moment or three growing up, and had her fair share of short-lived flings with (and within) the troupe. I think maybe she had a party girl phase or two

18. how does your muse feel about marriage? would they ever want to get married?

ENIKO — he has absolutely no desire to get married. he's not one for faith or making oaths to other people or binding himself to anyone in any way ever again. people can do what they like, but he will not get married. he can't swear himself like that. LIRA — lira always knew her marriage would be a political match and was perfectly content with that. she grew up expecting to be an arlessa or a bann's wife somewhere, running an estate and attending the landsmeet and fulfilling her duties for land and family. in all honestly she was looking forward to it. she was pretty sure that part of her died with her family at highever (and as a warden there was no point in marriage anymore), but to be honest, if they make it that far, she'd enjoy being married to alistair. she was raised to rule, after all. MINAH — minah is a secret closet romantic but her views on marriage are. complicated. as a kid she was super excited to grow up and get married, but as a grown up now, that kind of commitment and trust and vulnerability is just entirely beyond her. and she's a warden now, so what's even the point.

26. is your muse more likely to be loud and proud about being in a relationship, or are they more quiet about it at first and open up about it over time?

ENIKO — super quiet. he's not sharing shit. if he even made it far enough to end up in a relationship, he'd be constantly terrified of that being used against him. he's keeping his mouth shut. (in a modern au where he's slightly less of a mess, he'd still be quiet about it, but wouldn't mind if his partner spreads it around, if that's what they want—doesn't mean he has to comment on it) LIRA — also quiet. she's just like that in general. it's the repression and the trauma and stuff. MINAH — actually pretty loud and proud. not extremely so, but she wouldn't keep it quiet and, depending on the relationship, could even go out of her way to showcase it.

30. would your muse ever be in an open/non-exclusive relationship? would it make them insecure, or would they be open to trying it?

ENIKO — eniko's the kinda guy who is an established couple's third. he's the +1. he's not interested in the degree of communication and relationship negotiation an open relationship (or any kind of relationship) would require, but he's pretty down with sleeping around. that said, if he did settle down into a proper relationship with someone he'd a) be completely willing to accept their request for an open relationship because who would ever actually be satisfied with him, and b) it would totally wreck him and also the relationship LIRA — I think lira would be down with a polyam relationship but not with something open/non-exclusive. like in the hypothetical world where she dates again during/post origins. she just wouldn't enjoy the uncertainty of any non-exclusive, but she's not opposed to the work of a three-way relationship MINAH — would absolutely be down. that kind of semi-committed but also shopping around vibe fits her really well—in her opinion, the openness of the relationship keeps it from getting too serious. she's had her share of hookups in the troupe that are kinda in this sphere

DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS ➤ SHIP GIFS: Nessmore

NESS COUSLAND x SER GILMORE

↳ Howe Treachery

Mod creators are truly the Maker’s blessing upon us ohmygod

From the very first time I played the Cousland origin (a mere few weeks ago lol but I’ve replayed it a bunch of times already), I had the headcanon that Ness has been silently in love with Ser Gilmore for years; never saying anything or acting on it, as Gilmore works for his family (and will never not call him My Lord - which everyone does and Ness always hates but especially hates hearing from Gilmore), and that’s a line Ness will not cross. 

But even if Gilmore didn’t work for his family, even if his love for Gilmore wasn’t highly inappropriate, Ness still wouldn’t have acted. Because Gilmore never said anything either, and so Ness always assumed it was unrequited. Ness is someone who likes casual hookups; mostly with men, and maybe once in a blue moon with a woman - and that’s no secret to anyone. The only part of himself he’s ever hidden or felt shame for is his love for Ser Gilmore. Ness doesn’t give a shit about wealth and stature, but is well aware of the power his stature grants him, and so is careful not to abuse it. 

That’s also been my headcanon for why Ness hooks up with Dairren after learning that Gilmore is likely going to go off to become a Warden, never to return to his old life. Dairren is safe, Dairren is hot, Dairren loves books too, and Dairren is unabashedly interested. Ness is heartbroken and desperate to find a way to move on... and sweet, red-headed Dairren reminds him of Gilmore (and hoo boy does that add to his self hatred and guilt when that ends up killing Dairren right in front of Ness later). 

I also headcanoned that their night together actually ended up with them both enthusiastically agreeing to a proper date once Dairren returned - and that was before I knew Dairren was about to fucking die (I was so not prepared for that T_T). I’ve searched about for answers on whether he can be saved if your oc does not bed him because if so I’d go back and save him, but a small, evil part of me loves the hurt.

(I was not prepared for anyone at the castle dying, tbh. I thought his father and brother were definitely going to not return but damn what happened was nothing I was prepared for.) 

And I thought it couldn’t hurt more than not being able to say goodbye properly to Gilmore, other than Ness trying to stay behind with him to hold the gate but being refused.

Buuuuut then I found the Farewell Ser Gilmore mod. And it’s amazing and it hurts. Way, way more. And I love it!!

And even though yes you get to choose whether or not your character kisses him, I’m just gonna headcanon that Gilmore is the one who initiates the kiss. Because that hurts so much more. 

Another part this tiny but amazing mod added to my Ness story, is the awesome parallel that headcanon-turned-kinda-canon mod brought. 

See, even before the bi Alistair mod, I was convinced Alistair is pining for the Warden whether you can romance him or not. It’s painfully obvious in his jealousy etc. Then once thanks to the mod Ness finally could romance him, I let it drag on a while before they get together even so. 

Because Ness first has a very brief casual thing with Morrigan (very brief not because he doesnt like her, but because he breaks it off immediately after Morrigan suggests they just let everyone in the Circle get slaughtered) then with Zevran almost immediately after he’s recruited (he doesn’t much care if that might cause his assassination; he kind of welcomes the idea, but then breaks it off once he trusts and cares about Zevran). 

Like with Gilmore, Ness is silently in love with Alistair. But he is very well aware this time that his love is returned. But he is in no shape to deal with it. 

Ahhh this mod added so much to his story, it’s killing me and I LOVE IT SO MUCH

please, luke, please, please, please... {gilmore girls}

Uma daquelas séries pelas quais te apaixonas no primeiro minuto.

Gilmore Girls, conhecida em Portugal como Tal Mãe, Tal Filha, foi uma série americana que ficou popular mundialmente no início dos anos 2000. Esta foi criada por Amy Sherman-Palladino e estrelada por Lauren Graham e Alexis Bledel.

O enredo desta passa se em Stars Hollow, Connecticut, um pequeno povoado fictício onde vive a mãe solteira Lorelai Victoria Gilmore e a sua filha Lorelai "Rory" Leigh Gilmore e várias outras personagens bem peculiares. A série explora diversos assuntos, tais como família, amizades, conflitos geracionais e classes sociais e é caraterizada pelos seus diálogos rápidos com poucas pausas, frequentes referências à cultura popular, política e comentários sociais.

Sendo aclamada mundialmente Gilmore Girls foi um nome presente na minha watch list durante vários anos e por mais que eu tivesse vontade de a ver costumava olhar para as suas sete temporadas um pouco receosa. Séries exigem tempo por parte de quem às vê e esse foi o principal motivo pelo qual eu acabava por ficar de pé atrás com Tal Mãe Tal Filha: afinal, 156 episódios empoem respeito.

A real vontade de ver série surgiu quando a Netlix anunciou um revival da série para 2016 intitulado de Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life que eu também demorei para ver mas eu só fui começar a ver a série em dezembro de 2017. Por isso, a mesma acabou por me acompanhar ao longo de praticamente todo o meu ano de caloira na universidade e por isso tenho um carinho ainda mais especial por ela.

Alerta: Este post é longo e cheio de spoilers, prossiga por conta própria e risco

Terminei de maratonar a série há algum tempinho e juro que a vontade era que tivesse outras sete temporadas para me perder um pouquinho mais em Stars Hallows.

Tenho a intenção de futuramente trazer a review de cada uma das temporadas e de cada um dos episódios ro revival mas no post de hoje quer mesmo falar vos de como Lorelai Gilmore e companhia me conquistaram. Gilmore Girls é, sem sombra de dúvidas, uma daquelas séries maravilhosas que quando termina te deixa com a sensação de que ficaste orfão. Com um elenco extremamente carismatico ou maioritariamente que te deixará caídinho/a de amores.

Considero a Lorelai um desses amores à primeira vista, o que facilmente a tornou a minha personagem favorita que é, na minha opinião, uma mulher excecional e exemplo de mãe e pessoa, que só muito ocasionalmente me fez passar raiva e sempre por causa da sua relação com o Luke.

Apesar de ser uma série que se focava tanto na mãe (Lorelai) como na filha (Rory) pra mim Lorelai roubou sempre a cena. Foram sete temporadas em que vimos uma mulher passar por vários desafios, alguns dos quais bem dificeis, sem se deixar abater e sempre disposta a dar a volta por cima. No final do dia sempre a viamos a fazer o melhor possível pra si e para quem a rodeava, mantendo o seu sorriso no rosto.

De todos os arcos amorosos da série o seu foi o mais complicado: desde as suas indas e vindas com Christopher (que a levaram ao altar); o relacionamento com Max (um professor de Rory) e o romance com Luke (pelo que torci desde o primeiro momento). Ai, como esquecer o episódio Raincots and Recipes (4x22) em que o casal Java Junkie finalmente dei o seu primeiro beijo? Ainda me lembro de gitar e chorar de felicidade por ver que um dos meus ships favoritos estava finalmente a acontecer.

Infelizmente, após esse momento o relacionamento destas duas personagens não foi tão firme quanto eu gostaria que tivesse sido, na minha opinião, demasiados altos e baixos. Sadly os pombinhos nunca chegaram a subir ao altar e eu coloco toda a culpa em cima dos ombros do Luke Danes que não soube lidar da melhor forma com a descoberta da sua filha. Ainda sinto o sangue a fervilhar só de me recodar o quão ele exclui a Lorelai, vê-la sofrer com tudo aquilo foi de partir o coração. Amaldiçoada seja a sexta temporada que a cada episódio destruiu um pouco mais o melhor casal de Stars Hallow.

Em assuntos do coração quem também passou por muitos altos e baixos foi a Rory! Vários momentos das suas histórias de amor pareciam tirados de clássicos românticos de Hollywood como esquecer aquele You jump, I jump, Jack e isso torna um pouco difícil decidir qual dos seus pretendentes o melhor. Pessoalmente, o que menos me agradou foi o Dean, mas a verdade é que mesmo assim cada um dos seus pares amorosos teve o seu momento. Para mim a verdadeira disputa ficou entre o Jess e o Logan: cada um teve a verdadeira oportunidade de ganhar o coração da Rory e do espetador. Especialmente Jess, que ao longo da última temporada surpreendeu ao crescer tanto enquanto pessoa. Juro que julguei que a Rory iria aceitar o seu pedido de casamento, contudo isso acabou por não acontecer.

Rory colocou sempre os seus estudos à frente por isso não foi de admirar que ela tenha escolhido a sua carreira invés do seu relacionamento. O seu caminho até Yale, e mesmo em Yale, não foi nada fácil e a jovem foi obrigada a enfrentar bastantes dificuldades. Do seu percurso estudantil é de salientar o seu discurso na High School Graduation, um dos momentos mais emocionantes de toda a série, principalmente as palavras que ela disse à sua mãe. Com um pouco de esforço vimos a Rory a formar-se em Yale, ao mesmo tempo que os colegas de primeiro ano - mesmo ela tendo feito uma pausa de um ano. What?! A melhor parte disto tudo foi poder ver o brilhinho nos olhos da Lorelai sempre que ela viu a sua filha alcançar uma nova conquista.

Ao longo das sete temporadas todas as personagens tiveram o seu espaço e a oportunidade de crescer, exemplo disse é a relação de Lorelai com os pais Emily e Richard: que mesmo que nunca tenha sido perfeita evoluiu o suficiente para as coisas terminarem bem. Até amigos mais próximos das Gilmores, como Sookie, Michel, Paris e Lane, deixaram lembranças maravilhosas que dificilmente serão esquecidas.

Os episódios finais foram os que mais me costuram a ver por sentir a dificuldade que seria despedir me de Stars Hollow. Mas, apesar da dor da despedida, achei o último episódio lindo. Desde a festa surpresa organizada para a Rory ao beijo re reconcialiação de Lorelai e Luke. Em caso de dúvidas, Gilmore Girls foi das melhores maratonas que fiz até hoje. E para quem ainda não viu: trust me está na hora de veres.

Felizmente Stars Hollow estará sempre para nos voltar a receber.

PREPARE TO GET STARSTRUCK! Acabamos de ver CASSANDRA “CASSIE” HAYES passando pelo tapete vermelho! Com seus VINTE E CINCO anos, ela é uma CANTORA E ATRIZ conhecida pelos seus fãs por ser muito CATIVANTE e CHARMOSA, embora há quem diga que nos bastidores ela possa ser bastante INQUIETA e SEM FILTRO. Você ouviu o que os tablóides andam dizendo sobre ela? Não? Ah, eu te conto! Estão dizendo que ELA TRAIU SEU EX NAMORADO! Será que isso é verdade? Hm… esperamos que não comprometa os seus futuros projetos porque realmente gostamos de vê-la no topo!

          PINTEREST     -     CONNECTIONS     -     PLAYLIST

nome: cassandra “cassie” hayes.

idade: 25 anos.

orientação sexual: heterossexual.

inspiração musical: billie eilish

albuns: don´t smile at me, when all fall asleep where do we go?, happier than ever (ainda está lançando esse)

BIOGRAFIA:

﹂ A vida imita a arte ou a arte imita a vida? cassandra nasceu e cresceu em uma família muito ambiciosa, filha de um policial aposentado e uma ex miss américa (que foi forçada a deixar sua carreira de lado quando deu luz a menina). sempre desejaram dinheiro, fama, prestigio, e com a criança não seria diferente. após notar o talento de cassie com o publico kristy resolveu leva-la para tentar a sorte em audições de TV. e não foi uma surpresa quando ela conseguiu seu primeiro papel em uma série adolescente.

﹂ o primeiro e único... ao menos em um bom tempo. seus pais que já haviam se acostumado a encher os bolsos de dinheiro e os copos de whisky enquanto promoviam festas regadas a jazz na sala de estar quase não acreditaram. a fonte de dinheiro havia secado, e após uma crise de choro e raiva a criança nunca mais foi chamada para atuar em outros papéis.

﹂ ainda na adolescência a cobrança de conseguir o estrelato para proporcionar um futuro melhor para a sua família continuava a todo vapor e cassie, que sempre amou cantar, lançou um cd independente, que não atingiu muito sucesso. no entanto, depois de muito tentar ela foi chamada para as gravações de Moonstruck, e foi lá que tudo mudou.

﹂ o filme em si foi um sucesso entre os jovens, retratando uma garota normal que se encontrava acidentalmente com um astro de cinema musical, e eles acabavam se apaixonando. mas assim como os fãs esperavam, o romance não ficou só nas telinhas, logo após encerrarem as gravações cassie e o famoso cantor engataram em um romance digno de novela, e por um tempo foram até eleitos como o casal do ano.

﹂ mas o termino veio após quase quatro anos, e muitos discos e musicas escritos em sua homenagem, havia acabado. assim como o previsto, as paginas de fofoca se encheram com as noticias sobre quem traiu quem, ou qual dos dois lados havia sido o errado. cassie saiu em partes mais prejudicada, sua fama havia aumentado e os holofotes agora estavam virados para si, mas a que custo? 

﹂ a saída foi usar todo o bom humor que sempre lhe convém para lançar mais musicas durante o atrito, deixando o publico curioso e sedento para saber mais sobre a historia. e ela jamais perderia a oportunidade de fingir que se diverte com isso... embora não seja muito reconhecida pelo fato de estar só começando, a mulher aproveita as regalias como pode, nunca recusando um lanchinho gratis ou pedidos de foto quando tem a oportunidade.

21, 24, 25, and 26 for all 3 canon protags!

21. what is their biggest regret? Elsanna Cousland: outside of the obvious being what happened to her family and having to leave her parents to die at Howe's hands I think her biggest regret is that Loghain was killed in front of his daughter. This isn't to say she didn't think Loghain had to be executed for all of his crimes, she does believe that it was the right course of action but she still regrets it. To Anora she'll always be just as much a monster as Howe was to her and that haunts her a little bit. (it is more nuanced than that but that's the gist of her regret)

Serafina Hawke: she has so many regrets, her story is full of them but I think her biggest one is her mother's fate because she really feels like she should have been able to do something to stop it. Most of her other regrets from what happened to Bethany to Corypheus getting free are things that were in part out of her control whether because of circumstance or lack of knowledge but she was actively looking into the murders when her mother was taken, she should have been faster or done better. In general she tries not to think on her regrets too much, she's been through a lot.

Nayeli Trevelyan: Her biggest regret during da:i is probably how she and her friends in the Circle fell apart as a group, she's not sure where most of them are now and they could have been lost in the mage/templar fighting for all she knows. Some were even lost at the conclave. She regrets fading away from those who weren't.

24. what languages can they speak?

Elsanna Cousland: I'd like to think she can speak multiple languages or at least has a grasp of them for diplomacy's sake. She'd try to pick up words and phrases in her travels to different places during the blight if she could. I imagine she knows some fairly unsavory dwarven phrases (thank you oghren). I think if she learned anything growing up it would have been a language that might be important for a port like Amaranthine. Highever is in charge of coastal areas after all. I think knowing a bit of a Marcher language or even a few antivan/rivaini phrases here and there wouldn't be outlandish for her. As queen she does *try* to pick up some Orlesian (again, for diplomacy's sake) and she hates every second of it.

Serafina Hawke: Monolingual, she does pick up the swears her friends use though.

Nayeli Trevelyan: also monolingual, she's tried to learn a few languages but she doesn't usually have the patience for it much as she would like to.

25. what did they plan for their life to look like before the events of the game happened?

Elsanna Cousland: She saw a future for herself with Ser Gilmore, they grew up together and had a budding romance neither had acted on yet when the game began. She would have been happy married to him I think, I have an AU where she is in fact. If he'd been recruited into the wardens she would have stubbornly refused to just never see him again. She'd have her duty and he'd have his but it wouldn't have stopped her. I don't think she'd ever truly want to lead the teyrnir, her brother could handle that but she'd still be an important figure in ferelden as tenacious as she is.

Serafina Hawke: Honestly wasn't sure what her life would look like, she was honestly fairly sure she'd get taken to the circle at some point so she didn't let herself dream too big. She'd have liked just a quiet life with her family in Lothering though.

Nayeli Trevelyan: Was sure she was going to spend her life wasting away in the circle but once mages started rebelling she started to dream big, she craved the freedom for her life to be something other than being trapped in a dusty tower. Obviously since she was at the conclave she didn't advocate for the violence between mages and templars but she did advocate for an end to the circles. So I suppose she got some of what she wanted in the end.

26. do they get a happy ending?

Elsanna Cousland: I don't feel like she will until the blight is cured. She's Queen, Warden Commander, married to the love of her life, and has avenged her family and saved Ferelden but....she could lose everything so soon with the looming threat of the calling. And she can't have any children until she's cured of the blight and she desperately wants to. So....yes and no for her, as happy as it could be but still not quite resolved in my opinion. I do headcanon that (no matter what BioWare does with the warden), the blight is cured down the line and Elsanna and Alistair have a daughter named Alessandra.

Serafina Hawke: I wouldn't say so, no. She's had to leave her home again, she's lost so much in kirkwall and then to lose her place there as well? That's hard to stomach. She does at least have Anders at her side even if they are very much on the run for probably the foreseeable future. They do have a daughter named Lorena though at this point in the timeline. (I randomized a daughter for them in sims once and the game gave me a mini female carver hawke so that has been added into my belief system that Lorena looks a lot like Carver.) Serafina did not get left in the Fade so she's out there doing...whatever it is Hawke is up to these days. I still say it's not the happiest of endings but she is happy enough if that makes sense.

Nayeli Trevelyan: Her ending so far has been happy. She's married to Cullen, she disbanded the Inquisition, and her job is (publicly) over but she'd never sit back and let someone else handle them mess her friend and mentor is trying to make of Thedas, at least not fully. She's far too restless and determined to save her friend for that. So yes i'd say she's gotten a happy ending....so far...

Thank you so much for the ask!!! <3

Ramsay Cousland

Even though Fergus was their elder brother, most of Highever knew that Ramsay was in line to become the next Teyrn. Their father's favourite, they were known to fulfill all their responsibilities. Ramsay had charmed every guest of their parents and those nobles they visited. The common folk of Highever knew them as someone who partied hard, started tavern brawls, and kissed barmaids. Becoming a Grey Warden completely changed their trajectory. Now as the Queen of Ferelden, she cares for the people of Ferelden and guides Alistair in dealing with their people. They still take the time to mingle with commoners, start tavern brawls, and kiss barmaids -- even a Queen should enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

i'm replaying the dragon age series in anticipation of the new game, and it's got me thinking... while i originally really liked clare with a.listair, i'm not sure that relationship fully fits her anymore.

the person clare has become has grown in the past 14 years and her development has shifted profoundly from when i first made her on my first playthrough ( after a really terrible breakup lmao, good riddance dude ). she's a lot more withdrawn in private than i originally thought, and she's so single-minded when it comes to her duties as a warden that i think anyone pursuing a relationship with her would have a significant uphill battle.

losing her parents so violently, losing her home to a traitor, having to take up the mantle of commander at such a young age after d.uncan's death because a.listair wouldn't do it? now that she's older she doesn't blame him, but i think there was some unspoken tension brewing there for a little while when she was younger. but all of those things necessitated that she let the girl die in h.ighever so the woman could be born a grey warden.

because of that, i think that, yes, she loves and trusts her companions. of course she does. but none of them knew her before she became the de facto commander. none of them knew her when she was just clare, the t.eryn's witty and clever daughter.

except, rory knew her. rory has always known her and i think that's why my preferences for her romance have shifted towards ser gilmore and away from everyone else. clare can't let her hair down around everyone else as much as she can around rory - she HAS to be strong, always on, always decisive, always ready to lead the charge into battle. but rory knows her favorite color and her favorite flower, he knows that she used to sing beautifully before a childhood illness damaged her vocal cords, he knows that she used to sneak out to the castle town taverns to watch the bards perform folk music and dance with the commoners.

things she doesn't do anymore, and doesn't want to talk about anymore. the only way she can move forward is, to some extent, to pretend that her old life never happened. she loves a.listair SO MUCH but i no longer think it's romantic, which is such a huge shift from where her development was just five years ago.

anyway tl;dr i'm dedicating my new canon route to ser gilmore thanks to mods that make that possible.
