I totally get the fandom hate for Leandra Hawke I really do.

*scrubbing hands together* but in my fanon, since we never actually ever met Leandra or really anyone in DA2 in real-time outside the Inquisition/interrogation sequences and all of this shit is second- to third-hand at best and we know Varric slipped at least some major things by Cassandra and really just skimmed over a handful of weeks in years of Kirkwall and generally dramatized the rest --

(and since my Warden Brosca's mother Kalah already nails the Shit Mother dynamic so well)

i get to play around with the fantasy of having a loving and caring and very stressed mother with her own hangups and traumas who apologizes and tries her best

no not for any reason this is totally not at all personal nor based on two separate real life mother figures and the theft of closure with one

... anyways

#dragon age #rambleramble bullshit time #tl;dr summary minus traumadumping kalah is biomom. but she was the one with the horrific end #leandra is stepstepmama who does her best but I didn't meet her till adulthood #and wished id known her much earlier #so anyways playing around with the concept of having a Loving Human Mother while growing up #wild concept to me. always thought it was just sitcom fictional but no yeah some moms are Good actually #and sometimes they say shitty things bc they're human. how they handle it matters #edit to add: just noticed a third parallel i hadnt even intended #my inqy lavellan is a foundling. raised somewhat distantly-ish by Keeper Deshanna and the clan at large #which. is more how i grew up actually. raised by grandparents and with an odd and awkward distance #wondering why everyone else had parents. etc etc #hm.#welp.
