Andraste's trash can

i do genuinely appreciate the fact that meredith as a visibly much older woman character that has 0 motivations to anything related to "lost" youth or younger women or god forbid some sort of love entanglement with a man and instead her character motivation and arc proves that fascism can also be a women-dominated field! 👍

i've never played dragon age and don't know anything about it but what i do know is that that solas guy looks exactly like if astarion and wulbren bongle had a baby

i know varric’s beardlessness is because he doesn’t like being culturally dwarven but if bioware generally gives all dwarven men full beards and is too cowardly to give female dwarves any beards then i have to wonder if, while humans and elves read him as, in isabela’s actual words, a “paragon of manliness”, dwarves ever think it’s, like, a gender thing?

[cadash voice] varric i just wanted to say, when i was like “okay listen up princess” earlier, that was because you’re a merchant’s guild rich kid talking about lyrium containment crates as if i don’t know lyrium containment crates, and not because like. uh. not because i was being weird about. i mean, you know

👍

extra bonus points for the way anders is clutching that bundle of explosives to his chest in exactly the pose and attitude of a schoolgirl clutching her notebooks while looking starry-eyed and awestruck because senpai noticed me
