"I'd rather live next to a refugee than a Reform MP"

so I played through Origins again and there's this middle-aged man 🫣

Amrynn the Hero of Ferelden will smooch him, so help me God

why did they do him so fucking dirty in Trespasser anyway lol 😭 I'm half convinced he was originally meant to be an entirely different character and then last minute they were like, 'hey let's make him Teagan instead' but didn't change anything about his design. But it IS really funny when your Inquisitor rides up to the exalted council and looks up at him and he's just mean mugging the FUCK out of you

Part of why she can't hit the notes quite right (even in the actual official recording!) isn't just her demon side flaring up, it's that she quite literally cannot sing them. They're outside of her range.

Rumi is an Alto trying to force Soprano notes.

She's trying to be something and someone that she isn't because it's who she believes she's "meant" to be, the "right" and "correct" version.

You can hear the strain on her voice. The notes aren't clear. They aren't strong. They squeak and whine. They're blocked in her own throat.

You can hear the difference within the song itself, she's much more comfortable in her lower register.

But What it Sounds Like isn't that.

It's all lower register. It's beautiful and strong and powerful because she's accepted herself completely, including her own limitations.

HA DO YEONG eating his salad (& her ass up with that response)
