I am just. chewing over and over again the connotations to Taash alternating between ‘mother’ and ‘Tama’
#there’s something so fucking interesting regarding language there#the Qun doesn’t have a word for mother so Shathann utilised tamassaran#and TALKS about how she wasn’t raised as one so she doesn’t know how to be this role#‘you used to call me Tama’ / ‘she’s not my priest!’#but Shathann tries to be a priest to Taash because that’s what she understands this approximation to ‘mother’ to be#and it’s so.#taash uses them interchangeably but also with an awareness TO language which makes SENSE considering them coming into their nb identity#I think so much about the scene where like#shathann says perhaps you’re aqun-athlok and taash’s response hits so hard because like#there’s no word in the qun a non gendered caste role#you can be rightfully recognised as trans but only if that adheres to your working caste role and it’s gendered nature#and you can just SEE like. a part of Taash is crying out in that moment why can’t you see me for who I am#why is your understanding of me confined to a binary#honestly like. the dehumanisation of the qun and antaam hurts taash’s story SO much because we can’t truly grapple with expanding upon the#Qun and expected roles and the confinement of that and WHY the antaam broke away#because we’re too busy trying to hand wave them as inhuman enemies#and it just does the confrontation between tassh#and the dragon king and EVERYTHING about shokra toh ebra a massive disservice#because only some of our qunari and the qun is afforded humanisation#god this game. I love it but GOD#tunes titters#veilguard spoilers#tunes talks critical
