6, 13 and 18 for the rook questions!

6. Which character are they platonically close with?

Definitely Bellara. She sees a fellow Dalish woman and Elvish history nerd and goes 'oh okay we're besties now'. She also loves her energy and the fact she doesn't judge her emotional outbursts as much as some of the others.

13. What are their thoughts on killing? Is it a necessary evil or do they enjoy it?

Siwan hates killing. She never took a life at all before her sister rescued her in Inquisition, when she was almost thirty! She's an idealist at heart who wishes the world could be made a better place without anyone getting hurt, but she's been through the wringer enough that she knows that isn't really possible anymore, and that if she wants a better world she's going to have to fight for it--and that means people are going to die.

18. What would your Rook be doing if they weren't recruited by Varric?

Freeing slaves in Minrathous in between trying to find Solas to beat his egg-looking ass for pumping and dumping her sister. It took Hara practically begging her in the Swan to agree to not beat the shit out of Solas on sight and let her try to redeem him. Ultimately probably for the best, but Siwan fuckin' hates that dude, she'd have hunted him across Thedas for free.

Also have the Rook in question, by @theoasiswinds!

Thanks for the questions! ^w^

Pro art tip in my shitty and short experience. Simplify the parts you don't like and extend the parts you do. It's rlly stupid sounding but reducing a tedious step or removing it entirely can get you out your art block

ok the luchadores lore. this starts off similar to canon but takes a pretty different route. eduardo pryor, a mexican lucha libre, “accidentally” kills his opponent in the ring. he uses his power and money to try and sway the court but is found guilty of manslaughter. with the help of his father, an influential holy man, he flees the country and ends up in steelport, a hub of unconventional entertainment where laws are more lax. there he uses his infamy to establish murderbrawl, what would eventually become the only lethal bloodsport to be aired on television. at first it was an underground thing, then he managed to make it a major event (a pilgrimage even) and the hype grew so that it made it to tv—though it can only be aired at night and has been banned in more than a few states, leading to pirate broadcasts. murderbrawl is real. contestants work their way through opponents (who can choose to tap out if they’ve had enough) before facing the previous year’s champion in the final match in which only one can survive. killbane has been the champion every year since its invention but that’s rumoured to be due to doping and rigging.

as in the game, killbane presents himself as a philanthropic celebrity. here he has a charity set up, various gyms and camps, where underprivileged youths are taught wrestling etc etc. in actuality these facilities are used to indoctrinate new members into killbane’s gang. he’s kind of like a cult leader. a larger than life figure, charismatic, influential, frightening. he needs this gang to support his gambling rackets and steroid smuggling, which in turn generate the finances needed to pay off officials. it’s through this system that he meets angel, a young man from steelport’s small puerto rican community. angel is good. so good that killbane keeps him from the dirty work and has him train to become a professional wrestler. but killbane has a fragile ego, and soon he becomes jealous, paranoid. the press reports on angel, speculating that he might one day be the one to knock killbane off the top spot at murderbrawl. angel’s training gradually becomes more and more brutal until it’s clear he’s just being abused. soon after the report, angel suffers an ‘accident’ that ruins his career and he disappears from the public eye

Inhalers.

Tara's is orange. This means it's a preventative one that you use daily.

Fluticasone is one medication that is commonly used in orange inhalers. This is used for asthma and COPD. The function of this is to prevent you from getting symptoms. This medication is a steroid, and needs to be used daily. The NHS also says "It's important to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after using a steroid preventer inhaler. This is to prevent infections and a sore mouth." You will usually get a second inhaler - a reliever (usually blue) - for use when you do get symptoms.

The dosage is 1 or 2 puffs taken twice a day. You need to use it even if you don't have symptoms. The dosage can vary between people, it's interesting to note that if you need to take more than 400 micrograms a day then you'll need to carry a blue steroid treatment card, a red steroid emergency card, or both (in the UK, it may be a bit different in America).

Also interesting to note that taking fluticasone at high doses for a long time can slow down the normal growth of children and teenagers - but that this is not likely to affect their adult height.

So. Actually, in light of this, it makes perfect sense why it was so important that Tara was able to get her inhaler in 5 (and if she was on a high dose she might not actually just be able to get a replacement without documentation), however where they drop the ball is they only ever show the 1 orange inhaler when she really should have a second blue inhaler for relieving symptoms (such as in the shrine).
