Meredith only naming Hawke champion because she thought he would soon die of his grievous and horrific injuries and she'd get to use the honoring of him as PR for herself but that fucker didn't even die
Meredith, through her teeth: what a pleasant surprise...champion...
Hawke, lighting his pipe with magic in the middle of a busy Hightown morning: ain't it just?
I couldn't scroll past this without sketching a little thing for it, this is too good. XD
IM YELLIN!!!!
there were no fereldan grey wardens in inquisition because they're too unhinged for this game. i mean they would absolutely ruin the narrative and the stakes. amaranthine squad is literally a dalish mage with a pure disgust for humans and especially their attempts to erase other cultures, a casteless member of the legion of the dead who used to work for carta, a drunkard who keeps finding himself in the weirdest situations possible and getting out of them almost without a scratch and a son of disgraced war criminal and all of them also happened to be buddies with a certain apostate and a spirit of justice. these guys don't give a shit about andraste's supposed herald and they already managed to kick one magister's ass or even reason with him. they would crack some kirkwall boom joke in front of the whole inquisition and then call corypheus a pretentious dumbass and nathaniel would bother to stop it only because he promised the commander they would behave and not cause problems if they left them on their own for a while
Finally back home having missed EVERYTHING this weekend and only just now catching up on the steam sale and BG3 news
so do we have any evidence that varric actually bothered to learn anders' name at any point prior to act 3?
bc all I have is this
Varric: (If Anders falls in combat) They got Whatshisname, the mage? Dammit!
Varric: You and Whatshisname, that mage, seem to be getting pretty close. Anders: You'd think after three years the dwarf would learn my name. And I'm standing right here! Varric: Right, I see you there, Blondie. Don't worry.
smug and pleased to announce that we have NO PROOF that varric actually bothered to learn anders' name at any point prior to act 3. (somewhat dismayed and distraught to learn that we do have proof that he HAS learned anders' name BY act 3 however)
In act 3 we have one banter with Anders ("Go away, Justice. Can Anders come out and play?"), one banter with Merrill ("I've got you and Aveline, Fenris and Anders. Hawke. Isabela."), and one conversation with the mabari ("Now don't take it bad—you're still better [at diamondback] than Anders.") in which Varric actually calls Anders Anders. And at no point prior to that.
followup: is there any proof that varric learned fenris' name at any point prior to act 3? also no.
I forgot to update this post but I can announce with great pride that Varric is eligible for the coveted "certainly learned Isabela's name by act 2" award
I’m facing the apocalypse with The Rock, Ezio Auditore, and Darrell Hammond. I’ll take it.
You?
Arno, Connor, and the criminal minds people, awesome
i don’t understand how people have a single default party that would stress me out you must miss out on so much? for dao i tend to have a primary party per main quest but that’s it
Frodo’s a nepo baby when you think about it but like for sucky things. That’s your uncle’s evil ring? That’s your uncle’s wizard that took you on an adventure? That’s your uncle’s feud with a homicidal gremlin man that’s after your uncle’s ring? Great
Based on @full---ofstarlight's idea and wonderful script (see the post here), what if Citadel Souvenirs was selling that tasteful infamous Femshep statue?

What's wrong with the tale of aveline the brave? My memory about it is hazy
it comes from an imagination so phenomenally incapable of picturing a world where men and women are (supposedly) equal that it not only assumes an explanation is necessary but decides that the logical explanation is that women used to be oppressed (read: not allowed to fight with swords, because that is what misogyny is about), because it would be of course impossible for any society to not come to that conclusion, but now Sexism Is Over because a man saw a woman get publicly brutally murdered for being a woman and was like, wow! that wasn’t okay! and this man personally Ended Sexism (read: women can become chevaliers now)
also to spice things up we’re going to throw in a weird little colonialist trope where she was inexplicably raised by indigenous people for no reason

this poll is for things that you would conceivably eat on its own, with your hands, e.g., a plate of only carrots + dip. don't submit something like lettuce or something else that's just part of a salad because if you are just eating a bowl of lettuce and dressing with your bare hands you are lying

I get missing the Honeymoon Phase of the relationship once you're out of it but like what is a relationship if not Hanging Out. There is no higher form of love, of human connection, than Hanging Out. Why would you ever give up on that. All of mankind's endeavors, the very instinct wired into us as biological creatures, all of it points towards the holiness inherent to Just Chilling With Someone
