I have a Problem

[stop-breaking-my-heart-dragonage]

Every time I see someone earnestly say that Carver hates Hawke, I have to exercise such restraint to not scream.

Every day I get closer to writing a deep dive about him because that's my guy. He's so interesting. He feels so much. He tries so hard when talking to the other companions and some of the dynamics he has with them are so good. He can be so fucking funny and sweet and awkward. He so badly wants to be wanted and appreciated and to protect everyone he loves.

Carver Hawke, they could never make me hate you.

What arrows I think have tattoos and what they are:

Oliver: he has one tattoo. He tried so hard to not pussy out once the needles hit his skin. He decided never again. (He got it a little after he adopted Roy. It's a red and a green arrow on his shoulder. Because he loves his son. 🥺. He got it because Roy was talking about the tattoos he wanted when he grew up.)

Roy: the tattoos he has in cannon. All of them. Plus a heart on his chest for Lian. He got matching tattoos with Mia and Connor, its just an arrowhead on their wrists. (He has the same tattoo as Ollie hidden on his ankle.)

Dinah: I don't think she would get tattoos. Just not something she would want to do. (Shit ton of piercings tho.)

Connor: He basically only gets matching tattoos. He has the matching tattoo with Roy and Mia, and he has a matching tattoo with Kyle. (Connor got a pen and Kyle got an arrow.) He has one more that he got for himself. It's a moon to represent his mom. (Cause her name is Sandra Moonday Hawke.)

Mia: The matching tattoo with Roy and Connor, she got it when she turned 18. She also has a small stick-and poke star on her ankle she got when she was a teenager. As they do.

Emiko: Also has no tattoos. She's not against getting them, she just hasn't got any yet.

Lian: She got a small stick and poke arrow on her ankle. To not forget Roy when she was unable to go back to him. When Roy saw it he freaked out (silently.)

Sin: No... purposeful tattoos. But I do think hosting Megaera leaves some like... sick ass ancient markings and shit.

Jonathan having to work at family video in s5 and that's part of why he and Robin become besties 🙏 (Steve is pouting in the corner with the cardboard cutout of Phoebe Cates)

[sapphim]

so if hawke's in a rivalry with varric his "a rumour making the rounds" quest at 50% rivalry goes like this right

Varric: I don't have to make shit up about you. The truth is much more entertaining. Not to mention incriminating. Varric: I'm not spreading rumors. I'm just telling you which way the wind is blowing. Hawke: [You're too kind.] It fills my heart with joy to know you're not telling people I'm sleeping with an ogre.

and then if hawke is in an active romance with anders, he responds like this right

Varric: Blondie is hardly an ogre! He's too puny.

well I was looking through the lines that were cut from varric's conversation, as one does, and I found these two lines that had been exorcised from the cutscene

Anders: Not where it counts, stubby. Varric: (Laughs.)

which like. ok it's a dick joke. it's not that funny. what is funny to me is that somebody not only wrote it but then they went back later and they were like. nah. no. cut it. the dick joke has got to go.

OH OH OH OH OH FULL NAME FULL NAME AKANE KISHIDA

I figured she was the one to get in touch first based on Jo knowing she wanted to see her son, but I have SO many questions about that... how does she know her son survived... how does she know Ichiban was her son and not Aoki... how does she know who Jo is and how to contact Jo... (<- tearing my hair out as we speak)

Anyway when you have the opportunity please view the gameplay footage...

obsessed how its addressed to Mr. Jo Sawashiro i dont know why that detail tickles me... thats cute..

chicken-and-egg kinda deal with Who Contacted Who first. like id ASSUME sawashiro'd get in contact with her first if he was feeling guilty enough about The Whole Situation and was willing to dig into arakawa's past imo, esp since akane wouldn't have any reason (or ability to) know who he was until after he joins the yakuza.. and i mean.. shes long gone by then.. tho that's assuming they got in contact early on and they didnt JUST start communicating within the past few years.

BUT EITHER WAY just gotta wait and see for it all to play out.. in three months <- still cant believe its coming out january 26th 👁️💋👁️

IM OBSESSED WITH THE GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE im soooo glad i was right in how they were going to handle the style change aspect (though i guess it wasnt a hard thing to predict but still..). I LOVE HOW KIRYU CAN ACTUALLY ROAM FREE THAT'S SO COOL i remember people kept speculating on how the gameplay was gonna go with how different ichi and kiryu's playstyles are and this is SUUCH a rad way to answer that question. my excitement is immeasurable and im gonna throw up

I loved this movie about nami and her ex situationship reconciling and also anti capitalism

OCs as Siken Poems

rules: take this uquiz as your ocs would answer and post their results!

tagged by both @transprincecaspian and @demandthedoodles, thank you both for inflicting this on me! I highlighted lines I felt fit the ocs I used the most, so enjoy.

This time I won't tag anyone, but feel free to take this as a tag if you want to do this yourself!

Surana: I had a Dream About You

There’s nowhere to go, I thought. There’s nowhere to go. You were sitting in a bathtub at the hospital and you were crying. You said it hurt.

You said Will you love me even more when I'm dead? and I said No, and I threw the pills on the sand.

I went to the riverbed to wait for you to show up. You didn't show up. I kept waiting.

Gwynnever Calear: Straw House, Straw Dog

you wanted an adventure, so I said Have an adventure. The straw about to burn, the straw on fire. Here you are on the TV, saying Watch me, just watch me.

I don't really blame you for being dead but you can't have your sweater back.

You can sleep now, you said. You can sleep now. You said that. I had a dream where you said that. Thanks for saying that. You weren't supposed to.

Allyn Hawke- Boot Theory

because you thought it would follow, you thought there would be some logic, perhaps, something to pull it all together but here we are in the weeds again,

You go to work the next day pretending nothing happened. Your co-workers ask if everything’s okay and you tell them you’re just tired. And you’re trying to smile. And they’re trying to smile.

A man walks into a convenience store, still you, saying: I only wanted something simple, something generic...

Adelaide Oftedahl: Self Portrait against Red Wallpaper

Take it or leave it, and for the most part you take it. Not just the idea of it but the ramifications of it.

I clawed my way into the light but the light is just as scary. I'd rather quit. I'd rather be sad. It's too much work. Admirable? Not really. I hate my friends. And when I hate my friends I've failed myself, failed to share my compassion. I shine a light on them of my own making: septic, ugly, the wrong yellow. I mean, maybe it's better if my opponent wins.

Wild that I’m on my third replay of The Witcher 3 and I’m only just know noticing all the Dragon Age voices in it

Ciri of course shares her VA, Jo Wyatt, with FemHawke

Alec Newman, who voices Sebastian, does the opening monologue that plays every time you start up the game, and a Witch Hunter named Graden.

Alistair Parker, Blackwall's VA, does a LOT of random voices, plus the dwarf Cleaver in the questline to track down Whoreson Junior (and apparently he's made a live-action appearance in the Netflix series).

Ser Barris and Vernon Roche also share a voice actor (Mark Healy)

and I'm sure there's others, but Blackwall's in particular comes up a LOT as ambient NPC dialogue and it's very funny hearing him curse out an elf while wandering around

[shivunin]

Am I too late for the music meme??? If not can I ask for 4, 5 and 6 for the whole crew? Pretty please?

It's never too late for music!! Thanks for asking, Lilou c:

4. a song lyric that describes my muse

Answered here for all of them c:

5. a song that makes my muse sad

Oh, songs that make me sad, you said? Songs that make me cry in front of my computer while trying to transcribe relevant lyrics? Those songs?

Arianwen: Welly Boots by The Amazing Devil.

Not that everything comes back to her mother, but I think Adaia's loss is one of the things that's going to push Wen's buttons every single time. This song is about someone watching a loved one from the afterlife (perhaps as a ghost?), knowing that they can't really do much to help but still reaching out over and over again anyway

Choice lyrics: "If only you could hear my voice, but you are screaming far too loud to hear me swear: just because I left doesn't mean that I'm not still there." and " 'How could you leave me here?' You scream/ and louder I'll scream back from I don't know/ 'I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong enough to do this on your own.'"

Maria: Stay, I Pray You from Anastasia (the musical)

I've talked about this before, I think, but this song so encapsulates her watching Ferelden fade into the distance from a ship bound for Kirkwall. Everything she's ever known, her sister's body, her home, her father's final resting place---gone. The grief of losing her homeland lies firmly under all the others until she goes back again someday. Thinking about Ferelden makes her feel an unshakeable sense of loss even years later.

Choice Lyrics: "You are all I know/you have raised me/ How to turn away?/ How to close the door?/ How to go where I have never gone before?"

Elowen: Queen of Nothing by The Crane Wives

This song taps into Elowen's imposter syndrome, the sneaking belief that everyone else knows that she is a fraud and she has already doomed herself in some looming, unknowable way. Deep down, she believes that she is not enough and it will eventually and inevitably hurt the people she cares for best.

Choice lyrics: "Like a moth in the night/ I'm desperate for a minute in theb light/ Cus everywhere that I go/ Something pulls me to the shadows/ And I'm trying not to get too close, but it's always there/ Saying my name, calling to me/ Isn't this what you wanted?/ Time sure feels like it's runing out/ Just finish what you started/ Queen of nothing/ Wearing such a heavy crown."

Emmaera: Chords by The Amazing Devil

For Emma, I think that she often gets caught on the knowledge that to love something is to have already lost it. Nothing lasts forever, but how do you love something even knowing that it will be lost? The thought of it fills her with a soft melancholy, and I think this song (which is about one's children leaving home at last) taps into that feeling.

Choice lyrics: "Pick your chords well, loves/ but sing your notes off-key/ You can't rehearse the chorus, but the verse is sweet/ And if your voice begins to crack, if you ever feel alone/ They might laugh because you're leaving, but know we'll sing your name when you come home."

Salshira: Neptune by Sleeping At Last

Salshira knows that she's intentionally presented a fragmented picture of herself to everyone else. She does this to keep her truest self safe, but it also means that it's really hard for others to really know her. In turn, she never really feels seen or known. I think this song is an uncomfortable mirror held up to those parts of her personality.

Choice lyrics: "I'm only honest when it rains/ If I time it right, the thunder breaks when i open my mouth/ I wanna tell you but I don't know how/ I'm only honest when it rains/ An open book with a torn-out page/ And my ink runs out/ I wanna love you but I don't know how"

6. a song that makes my muse want to dance

Arianwen: Scary World by Night Club (backup, Beautiful is Boring by BONES UK)

Wen is easily the most graceful of my OCs, but I think she probably gravitates to music she can grind or headbang to. In her modern AU, she is very much into music you can feel with your whole body.

Maria: Dance the Night by Dua Lipa (and a backup, Universe by Ambar Lucid)

Maria is very good at formal, structured dances (she's an excellent partner for the waltz, for example) but she's awful at anything free-form, so I want you to imagine her with her hands over her head, flailing to both of these songs. Gorgeous woman laughing her head off doing the most ungraceful dance moves known to Thedas.

Elowen: Labyrinth by Miracle Musical

It wouldn't be her if even a song she would dance to wasn't also about being trapped in a maze of your own making lol (but I picture Elowen's dancing as lots of shoulder work and rhythmic swaying, maybe the occasional gesture of her hands if she's really feeling the lyrics)

Emmaera: Magic by Juniper Vale

For a nice little "spontaneously slow-dancing in the kitchen" moment with her love

Salshira: How to Be a Heartbreaker by Marina

I rest my case

[pizz-a-pizza]

give me your motivation bro

[potatoesandsunshine]

they were both so insane in this part. seven different demons showing up in the fade just to say 👀🤔🧐🤭 about the marian/vivienne bullshit happening

[kedreeva]

Usually at night I bring Bug in the house and she gets her bedtime snack and then she jumps up to the top of one of our shelving units and settles there until actual bedtime. I get her down by walking out of sight or putting treats on her lower perch and she comes right down again, but tonight she was not having it. I left, I called, I put treats down, I attempted to climb up to get her by hand, I turned the lights off and then on to remind her it's night time. Nothing.

But she HAS to come down because it's not safe to leave her up there overnight. She gets freaked out in the dark alone, and it's in a room where she could potentially get up before me and get into things that could hurt her. So I couldn't just leave her even if I wanted to.

So I looked at Sark and told him to protect his computer monitor, because I was about to do something really stupid.

Then I went out of sight and replicated the crows' hawk alarm call, and boy. She got right down all the way to the floor immediately.

And then I hear Sark explaining to his discord voice chat what the hell THAT was (me crow-calling) because I hadn't realized he was on voice activity...
