that one meme that reminded me of them too much

“Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I’m no pet, I’m a married man.”

THIS. THIS IS WHY EPIC IS GOING PLACES. THIS WHY ODYSSEUS IS THE SINGLE MOST AMAZING PROTAGONIST EVER. THIS ONE LINE. DO YOU KNOW WHY???

Alexander Hamilton, protagonist of the hit musical of the 2010’s: How could I say no to her? My wife will never know. No one has to know.

Also Alexander: This is the only way to protect my legacy. The Reynold’s Pamphlet.

Odysseus: Hell no, I could kill you where you stand. I’m no pet, I’m a married man.

Also Odysseus: You plotted to kill my son. You planned to rape my wife. All of you are going to die.

Odysseus, texting Polites: Hey, I just walked into the Spartan court and someone yelled dibs lol

(meanwhile)

Penelope, texting Helen: HELP I FUCKED UP. SOME HOT GUY WALKED INTO COURT AND I YELLED DIBS

Love In Paradise in a nutshell

[wafflerageface]

still not over the Dread Wolf soundtrack and how it is an amalgamation of all the past themes ...

hearing callbacks to the horns and drums from Origins to symbolize the coming of darkspawn and used also in DA2 ...

the rising crescendo motif from Inquisition's The Dawn Will Come ...

and then Solas' signature cello underpinning the theme and tying the choruses together...

i am SO UNWELL .... Veilguard u were made with love in my eyes no matter what they say ...

"Did Varric just become stupid in Veilguard, that he'd walk up to Solas like that?"

No, I just think he knew. He's a 50-something year old rogue; he's lived in a sketchy tavern, fought all sorts of monsters, demons and abominations, witnessed all kinds of betrayal. He's seen it all, from Kirkwall to Ferelden and now Tevinter...you can't convince me he wasn't aware of what would most likely await him at the top of those stairs.

He knew, but he was tired. After losing Bartrand, Kirkwall, possibly Hawke—being away from all his friends, who ended up dispersing all over Thedas—after years of living with his regrets about the Deep Roads, about lyrium, about Bianca—about Anders, whom he couldn't save. A friend whose mind he could not change, a haunting tale now mirrored in his elven companion.

What is there left for Varric Tethras? A broken city to govern, occasional letters from friends. Maybe, but he's so tired. So tired that his well-groomed stubble has now turned into a full bush across his sunken cheeks. His flashy earrings gone, his flamboyant chain and tunic replaced by a more sober outfit, now drained of the fiery, warm colours that used to adorn his wardrobe, his hair, his eyes. Almost in greyscale now, it'd be hard to know it's Varric if it wasn't for his steady sarcastic remarks.

No, Varric was not stupid. Not in 2, not in Inquisition, definitely not in Veilguard. He was just tired, and probably figured if it was time to go, the best way to do so would be to try and redeem himself for all his perceived past failures. A domino of disastrous events started by a lyrium instrument which caused the downfall of a Tethras, ending the same exact way—except this time, it's one last sacrifice to try and break the cycle, to try and save a friend.

Kar'niss appreciation. He is such baby.

Something I'm so obsessed with is Lavellan finding little things of elven culture and just being so excited to ask her little hobo apostate boyfriend about it. She'll come half-jogging into the rotunda like "I found some elven writing in the last ruin I went to! Elven writing! I can't quite read it, would you help me?" and Solas is equally excited to help her translate some ancient grafitti

[wafflerageface]

Early solavellan is so funny to me

Lavellan: hey no one is fucking with you right?

Solas: no? Why what would you do about it?

Lavellan: good because I’ll kill anyone who messes with you for being an apostate or an elf

Solas: oh 😍😍

Like I know the circumstances are crazy but yall askdkdkgkgklj

[wafflerageface]

Do you think Solas who regrets taking on a body. Who regrets heeding Mythal's call and giving into her pleas to manifest himself a body thus abandoning his life as a spirit forever...

In those quiet moments where he has Lavellan in his arms. Asleep in bed, and he can hear the rise and fall of her breathing. Can touch and feel her pulse. And kiss her and hold her hand and allow himself pleasure. In the moments where touching her feels like a lifeline...do you think he stops regretting it?

At Riz’s eventual wedding: Do you take Riz Gutgak

Fabian, best man, positively shaking: Whomst the fuck

I know everyone else thinks of Riz as Riz because it's just a silly occasional nickname, but I do sometimes wonder whether Fabian's internal monologue refers to Riz as The Ball. It probably does? But it's weird to think about?? It's an insane thing to file your best friend under but that is what he's been calling him exclusively for three years. Wonderful relationship. So much love.

Siobhan has such banger lines that go unnoticed cuz she says it off screen while other stuff is happening

While they’re in baron’s game after baron possess Fabian, ally tells Emily that the orangutan mask is a great gift and quietly you can hear Siobhan say “i got a worm, that fucking turncoat” and ally cackles 😂
