#the others being mae's husband and dagna

[tevinterdays]

i cannot emphasize enough how much roland and lacklon mean to me

ofc i expect queer characters in da, but in film and tv etc, i'm so used to queercoding or accidental tension. this applies across the board, but it's being fulfilled more often as time goes on. so infrequently with mlm relationships.

i wasn't surprised when miriam and hira kissed - it was a pleasant affirmation that the series wasn't chickening out or being pressured out of rep for purposes of the show. and we've had a handful of canon wlw relationships in da, of varying visibility and relevance. celene and briala (ech), vaea and charter, sera and dagna (conditionally/in the bw canon timeline), branka and hespith, maybe others, that's just what's been in the media i've consumed.

mlm-wise, with named characters, there's dorian and bull (conditionally), karl and anders, and zevran and taliesin (and rinna).

out of these, branka and hespith, karl and anders, zevran and taliesin are are completely off-screen, all being in the past, and the latter two are conditionally revealed to the player.

anyway i fully expected roland and lacklon to just be awkward teasing through the end, one-sided and miscommunicated, maybe lacklon was actually straight, whatever. and they actually fucking kissed and . sdkghsdkgsdhf. jesus christ. jesus CHRIST

meaningful. i can't do analysis or anything here i'm forgetting how to type. your honor i love them they are so important
