Master Tethras is our light!!



Gosh, Varric is the best, the top of the pops of all the Dragon Age games, hands down. ( And I say this as a person who loves all the characters!)
This evening, I worked on this other small project ( aka another present for a friend ) 😁 I have yet to decide if I like these lights mmmm 🤔
I'll have to try more options...

The fact that Cassandra reads Swords and Shields out loud to Cole is so important to me.

purple hawke who, at malcolm's death, lost not only a father, a mentor, the single most stable and safe point in their world up until this moment. but also the only person in their life who would consistently, gleefully 'yes, and — ' them. the loss, in one fell swoop, of both a beloved parent and your sole willing — no, not only willing, enthusiastic — improv partner. truly, the most unkindest cut of all that the maker could have seen fit to deal. (there's always so much less laughter in the house, after malcolm's gone.)
and then after all the horrors of the blight and trying to make a new life in the shithole turned shithome of kirkwall....... they meet varric. and something that's been slumbering deep within their soul dries a tear of relief and joy and whispers 'oh we are so back'. and they are so right
#bound together by an oath more solemn and more sacred than any vow of marriage#(I'll be your yes and for life bro. I really mean it bro. your nonsense is safe with me bro./*bro*)#commitment to the bit. and also our friendship. queerplatonic life improv partners & bullshit enablers. a beautiful thing tbh#dragon age#dragon age 2#varric tethras#hawke#purple hawke#on second thought let's not go to kirkwall; it is a silly place#purple hawke seems in some way especially alone in their family to me in some ways? there's no one to 'match' them#blue hawke and bethany seem to understand each other quite well; red hawke and carver are kind of uh 'on the same wavelength'#for all that that wavelength involves constantly butting heads and being shitty to each other haha#with malcolm gone there's really no one else in the household who seems to resonate even in that way with purple hawke#varric seems to have a similar situation going in his own family too which like. I'm so glad these chucklefucks found each other haha#oh to have a best friend you could just play effortless nonsense tennis with for hours at a time again. I miss that in my life

There's a post going around saying that the Veilgaurd team is so nice to eachother because it's a story about professionals. I need the author locked in a room with Vivienne, Cassandra, Leliana, and Josephine so they can look them in the eye and say they're not professionals to their faces. For science.
#dragon age#brekkie thoughts#dragon age critical#listen it goes beyond those girlies too#bull is a professional spy AND mercenary#blackwall is a veteran military man mercenary and liar#cullen is well into his templar career.#solas is like a professional in so many fields half of them dont even exist anymore#say what you will but sera has perfected her operation#varric is a professional business man bullshitter and story teller#inquisition was both “hire anyone who can help” and “the best of the best have offered their support for this cause”

I think the reason why it's Varric talking to Solas is because of this:
There are worldstates in which the Inquisitor ONLY recruited the 3 companions that you are FORCED to have from the beginning: Solas, Varric and Cassandra. So in those worldstates, where the Inquisitor didn't make ANY other friends, the only people that you can say are Solas' friends are Varric and Cassandra. Those are his two canonical friends that we know that he always has in every world. And out of those two characters, I don't think that Cassandra would have the gentle approach that would highlight Solas' reasonableness.
We actually already saw Solas talking to an Inquisition acquaintance (Charter) in Tevinter Nights, with the same kind of relationship that he has with Harding, a more professional one. I don't think that kind of relationship would help here.
So, by process of elimination, and because I think they're setting Varric up for a storyline, that leaves Varric. And I think it works well, with all these limitations.
Why not the Inquisitor? I would have jumped for joy at that, and it's exactly why the game would have worked if the Inquisitor was still the main character. But I don't think the Inquisitor works this early if we're supposed to be following Rook, it might have been confusing and distracting. I think that the Inquisitor will have a chance to talk to him later. And besides, we already GOT a scene of the Inquisitor trying to talk Solas down. That was Trespasser. So, though I would have loved for Solas to talk to the Inquisitor, we really have already experienced that. So, given all of that, I think that Varric is a nice choice to talk to him, and it's actually interesting for Varric too, given Varric's history with friends at the edge of desperation.
Like, not to say you have to feel any sort of way about it, or like it, or whatever, I just can see a lot of constraints to this, and I think it was handled pretty well
**Edited to add - oh wait, iirc I think that Dorian and cole are also companions that you have to at least meet, if not keep? if I'm remembering right? But the points still stand, it could have been Dorian but I think they're setting Varric up for something
#Dragon Age#DA4#DA4 spoilers#this is to say - if the dragon age keep is keeping track of that sort of thing for DA4#if not#out of all the Inquisition companions#Varric is actually the best choice I think for this

Harding mourning companions fallen in the final battle
Other companions: Bellara, Davrin, Emmrich, Neve, Taash, the rest TBA later
Companion romances: Harding x Taash, Neve x Lucanis
Note: companions will normally comment on only one death, or will have one short comment covering multiple companion deaths. The track below is my attempt at splicing all individual companion lines together.
General
After Varric died, I promised myself I wouldn't let anyone else fall on my watch. Then Davrin was lost, and now… It just feels like I'm failing, over and over. How many more friends do I have to say goodbye to? How do you cling to hope?
Emmrich
Emmrich's gone. All of his experience and power… I'm going to miss our chats. He… he gave the warmest hugs. I hope he knew how much I treasured his friendship. How much I learned from him. [If Rook romanced Emmrich, and he died during the mission] Emmrich was one of the kindest souls I ever met. And he loved you so much. Rook… I'm so sorry.
Taash
Taash is gone, too. I wish I'd spent more time with them. Said how grateful I am to have met them. [If Rook romanced Taash, and they died during the mission] Rook, I'm sorry about Taash. You two looked so happy together. I can't imagine the pain…
Neve
Neve's gone. I can't believe Neve's gone. She deserved better. She tried so hard… She fought so hard for Minrathous, and what did she get for it? I should've told her how much her friendship meant to me. [If Rook romanced Neve, and she died during the mission] Rook… I'm so sorry. Losing Neve… I can't imagine the pain… [If Neve and Lucanis romanced each other, and she died during the mission] I hope Lucanis is okay. I think Neve made him happier than he's been in a long time.
General
I see the losses are hitting you, too. Seeing you in pain… is difficult. We have to keep hoping, don't we? Somehow.

do you think the inquisitor saw rook and just felt like a giant burden lifting off their shoulders because finally, finally there’s someone besides them who’s doing what has to be done to step up and save the world
like obviously I’m not discrediting Hawke and the HoF here but their time is done and passed, by the time we reach veilguard the inquisitor has been The Hero for ten years now. You know every time there was trouble the world was looking to Them. The Herald of Andraste. The world wouldn’t end as long as they were there because they’ve always saved it and they will this time too.
For ten years the inquisitor couldn’t stop, couldn’t rest, couldn’t walk away. Because who was going to save the world if not them? No one, that’s who.
They’ve been doing what they had to because there was no one else to do it since the moment they got that mark on their hand and that never stopped.
And now here comes rook, a natural leader who’s brought together and incredibly competent team and they seem like a chaotic little shit but they’ve got a great head on their shoulders and they’re willing and they’re eager and they get the job done.
And they were chosen by Varric.
And maybe they think back to how Varric got them an estate in Kirkwall and made them a noble and made sure they had a place to go when the dust settled, how he always made sure they were taken care of and had what they needed. Even if they could never go back to who they were before the inquisition they would always have a home because their friend made sure of it.
And now it’s like varric has given them one final gift: someone to take their place. So they finally lay down the mantle. They can finally rest.
#it just gets me in my feelings man idk the inquisitor lives in my brain rent free I fear#also just more of Varric Tethras being the best ever#I am never normal about him#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#dragon age the veilguard#veilguard#datv#datv spoilers#dragon age inquistor#dragon age rook#rook dragon age#varric tethras#emily thinks thoughts

very funny for rye 'the moment I make one (1) mistake I will be dropped like a hot potato by anything I care about and it'll be completely my own fault' ingellvar to have two of his very closest people in adult life be varric tethras and lucanis dellamorte. two people whose most uniting 🤝 quality is 'I have never willingly let go of a single thing in my whole entire life even when that would have made everything so much easier. and I certainly don't mean to start now'. get cherished beyond reason or sanity or even the veil of death idiot one day it's going to sink in I'm sure
#varric tethras loved his best friend so much he had to make him into a story so he could be real and safe forever in the narrative#(emotional intimacy issues you could write whole new books about. and also an act of helpless love so profound it makes me crazy)#you think he wouldn't stick around in the fade for you to give you one last 'you can do this kid' despite being a dwarf. think again#and then just. lucanis being lucanis. yes. thank you.#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#lucanis dellamorte#varric tethras#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis is both funny and weird in a way I think varric would appreciate. so sad rye never got to introduce them#it'd be hilarious
