INKTOBER X WWDITS - DAY 4 - Dodge

A thought for Viago who plays the targets for Vlad' 🤣

[thedastravelerer]

I was going to name her Caterina, but I don't want to traumatize the sweet bird man any further.

Lucrezia "Rook" de Riva, spellblade, assassin, and Viagos favorite headache. At your service. 😏

Hey everyone! I just recently opened my first Etsy shop! I'm currently selling these guys for $5.00 plus free shipping (physically done by me from New Jersey)!

They came out great! However, I couldn't get the sizes of each to be the same due to the website I used to print them on. So Viago is a bit bigger than the others 😬. Nonetheless, I'm very excited about these! It's my first time selling something like this and so far it's been really fun! (They're a great gift for Halloween... just sayin... no big deal..) 🧛🏼‍♂️🩸💜

Here's the link to my shop! : https://www.etsy.com/shop/Fletchkat

What if Rook de Riva was just a problematic fledgling Viago got saddled with by the previous House talon? They apparently were seen as having talent from the start, perhaps explaining why that Talon didn’t just do away with them and took a different approach.

Viago meanwhile remembers Rook as a fledgling who are children/teens and their graduation - as well as seemingly views a lot of responsibility for how they turn out, even still, including wanting them more “cultured” such on Antivan art - but isn’t quite old enough to have been the Talon in charge himself when Rook was actually recruited.

This could have been either a keep Viago busy and unproblematic to me sort of decision, or perhaps giving him responsibility over a fledgling under his wing was part of grooming him as heir to the house depending on if Viago was the intended next Talon.

It could explain the sibling/parental dynamic fans have been commenting on, especially as in-game comments make it clear this isn’t just on all in his house - he worries and is in a worse mood when Rook specifically isn’t there.

5, 39, 49 for both please <3

Thank you for the ask!! 🥰

5. What was life like for Rook before joining the Veilguard?

Aster de Riva: As someone who was a street orphan when their magic started to manifest, being recruited by the Crows gave them training, stability, and a family,* seeing them as sorts of heroes, whether or not that's a particularly healthy view to have about the Crows. They're prone to heroics and will sometimes break Crow conduct to do so, much to the leadership's frustration, which is partly why they end up with lower level contracts. They're also pretty social but never had much luck in the romance department.

Adaia Laidir (aka my Warden/Zevran daughter Rook lol): Growing up with her parents and their stories drew her towards a life of adventure, but also an inclination to avoid city life and a change of surname that won't allude to her famous/infamous parents. Maybe it was stories about her pirate aunt that led her to the Lords of Fortune, where she could go exploring, treasure hunting, help with escorting researchers, and maybe sometimes let corrupt nobles slip into a trap. Oops.

39. What is their room at The Lighthouse like?

Aster: They decorate their room with a mix of elven cultural items (trying to connect to their heritage), Crow memorabilia (their present home), and art with bird motifs. Though they might keep things simple while on a job, they like to have lots of comforts like an excessive amount of pillows and blankets around if they can.

Adaia: She keeps a lot of trinkets from her adventures and loves landscape art. She's used to being on the move though, both from her childhood and with the Lords, so her room is easy to pack up and go.

49. What will always make them laugh?

Aster: Puns and cheesy jokes for sure.* But they laugh pretty easily, and are also the sort to use humor to hide fear/insecurities.

Adaia: She's a fan of wild stories with unexpected twists.

References to NPCs and companion banter below:

For the * on 5: specifically, they see Viago as an older brother figure

For the * on 49: much to Lucanis's dismay lmao

[lancedoncrimsonwings]

Viago definitely has an Adder, given the story in Tevinter Nights and repeated references to them in game!

I'm inclined to think Lucanis probably has the same?

They're also one of my all time fave snakes so maybe I'm a little biased

Some Adder facts under the cut, because I fuckin love snakes and I can;

European Adder, Vipera berus

Adders have a dark zigzag pattern across their back

They eat small mammals, lizards, birds, and amphibians.

In the wild, they generally live for 5-10 years, but some older individuals have been found and they could live up to 15-20 years.

Females are larger and brown, reaching up to 80cm

Males are smaller and a silvery grey, reaching up to 65cm

There is a melanistic population of literal "Black Adders", this morph is most commonly found in mountainous areas, but can be found across their full range, and some studies suggest females are more likely to be melanistic than males.

They're not aggressive, and tend to flee when disturbed.

Adders brumate (hibernate) in the winter months.

They do not lay eggs, instead they give birth to live young. (Ovoviviparus)

They like to swim and are often seen swimming in canals and rivers.

They prefer open shrublands and moorlands and dislike it too overgrown, habitat loss and the resulting population fragmentation is their biggest threat, among others, such as cats. In the UK, there are volunteer groups to clear areas of overgrown foliage so the Adders can thrive.

They're the UK's only Venomous snake. The UK's two other native snakes are non venomous- the Grass Snake and the Smooth snake. We also have three small established populations of non venomous Aesculapian snakes, the largest of which is in Conwy, made up of around 70 adult descendants of Welsh Mountain Zoo escapees.

Adder bites can be fatal, but are unlikely to be; In the UK, there have only been 14 recorded cases of humans dying from an Adder bite in the last 150 years, and 0 deaths since 1975, though there have still been a number of serious, life-threatening bites.

Around 70% of Adder bites have a negligible or mild affect, and an estimated 1/3 bites are "dry bites", without any venom.

An estimated 50-100 people are bitten each year, usually on the hands or arms due to picking up the snake.

You should ALWAYS go straight to A&E if you think you have been bitten by an Adder.

They are a protected species in the UK, and much to my chagrin, illegal to keep as a pet.

I definitely need to do some Viago and Lucanis Adder fan art now...

Snake enthusiasts Lucanis. No really guys he has a pet snake. So does Viago.

Is this a crow thing? Do they all just have pet snakes cause hell yeah I fuck with it.

The real big question is the type of snake they have.

My friend finally showed me What We Do In the Shadows movie - and I loved it - and I drew this

UPD - I watched the show so I added the show one, too

Dont vorry I vont drrop you :]

[thatssolavellan]

Oh my god. I finished. I finished the g a m e

I literally JUST finished. So I'm collecting my thoughts rn but I already have some opinions. Some of them need time, but I already have to say: I now understand why so much solavellans had strong feelings for it, but for me, it was good.

(Some late game spoilers under the cut + English is not my first language)

Overall, I like how they managed the Solas/Mythal relationship. It didn't bother me except for the absence of at least a strong citation about the Well of Sorrows, which looked like a huge choice in DAI, and I think it could be included along the Inquisitor's plot. But it's ok for me, I guess. *shrugs*

I think I understand now why that many people got upset. We had 10 years to invest in those characters, and our headcanons are impossible to squeeze in a game which wasn't even about Solas and Lavellan. So, it was impossible to make sense for everyone since they had only one "Solavellan ending". Leaving to go with Solas wasn't a real choice to every Lavellans. I still don't know if I liked it more because it fits my headcanon like a glove, or if I liked it because it is much less tragic that I expected lol (those words from Corinne saying that it would hurt haunted me). But I really think that it was a fair ending for both of the characters.

And, about the ending of the game in general, my biggest surprise was the Varric thing. I got really angry when he didn't die at the prologue after Solas stabbed him. I hate this Gandalf stuff when a major character dies and comes back like a miracle, just for make us suffer then immediately soothing these feelings. So when I found he was actually dead it was really a plot twist - I didn't even imagine it during the game. Same with the character who died with Ghilan'nain (for me, it was Harding).

I really liked all the new characters and the writing in general. Some bits felt kinda "rushed" for me, but not too much. The quest about Solas's regrets was a great way to put new players into the lore and answered everything we needed about what concerned the game. And I found it really fun, like us people digging around the lore and our wild theories in Reddit and here in Tumblr lol

Anyways. I'm relieved the ending didn't totally destroy the characters or put them in a lot of situations which didn't feel true for them. I trusted the work of the writers since the start, but with so many problems during the development (including the awful layoffs), I expected the worst. And I'm glad BioWare sticked with its expertise. As a fan of ME2, I loved the combat, progressions, maps and everything. And the "cartoonized" art style bothered me in the beginning but I kept my mind open, and now I even like it.

(Still hate Hans Zimmer's OST tho. Doesn't even get close to the toes of DAI and Trespasser OSTs.)

And look at her. She's a fucking looker. House de Riva has only the finest 🧑‍🍳👌 Having Viago and Teia made me rush immediately to the Antivan Crows and I'm not disappointed. Being latina I had my share of annoyance with all the stereotypes, but hey... I also really like coffee.

Lucanis's romance was a downer, okay, but it gives us more room to fanfiction lmao (here we go again). I'll cope with it doing a new gameplay and romancing Emmrich >:)

Dragon Age has a special place in my heart forever and I feared for the franchise. So I'm relieved and happy for being here.

Shout out for all us Solavellans. I remember when I saw people mocking us in the fandom for asking for more Solavellan content in the game. Devs, I love you all. Here's for better days in the future.

I didn't even finish the game yet and I almost threw up of anxiety when I was going to meet my inquisitor for the 2nd time. And since I cannot get off Tumblr I already had several spoilers about the ending. Almost regretting asking for all these cameos with Ellana. Boy I'm SO ✨not ready✨ for this
