Decided to do (yet) another one of these since I can say I've properly been back for a while now.
I'm Raz! dudewheresmynug has been around for about 9 or 10 years-- deactivated in 2022 but came back for Veilguard! Some of you guys might know me, so to new and old friends, welcome!
I am a 28 year old Puerto Rican from NYC!
Currently fixated on Dragon Age, but if other hyperfixations come my way I will give you guys fair warning lmao.

My best girls finally get their own (unified) ship playlist! 🥰
Yapping under the cut ⬇️
Another long playlist, so I'll put the full list of songs at the end in case you want to check 'em out and don't use Spotify!
Basically, it’s a lot of songs about Neve and Ember being at each other’s side, learning to trust, and realizing they’re no longer alone in the fight 🥹 Not chronological, it's just ✨vibes✨.
Song Highlights
Someone To You - BANNERS
Spotify | YouTube
And if the sun starts setting, the sky goes cold
Then if the clouds get heavy and start to fall
I really need somebody to call my own
I wanna be somebody to someone
Someone to you
Dying on the job, disappearing without a trace, being forgotten - Tevinter is large and people are lost all the time. Ember and Neve both know that. It's why they're so fiercely protective of their community.
It's still relatively new for them to be somebody to someone, though. Neve purposely keeps her distance, throws herself into the job, works in the shadows. Meanwhile, Ember is still getting used to being seen as a full person rather than a slave or a weapon. They're working on it, together!!
Doors - Noah Kahan
Spotify | YouTube
Have you ever stared directly at the sun?
Have you ever shared some closeness, so exposed
To have it spit back by someone?
So, forgive me if I jump
At the rattle of your keys
"Oh, are you leavin'?," "No, babe, I'm just wakin' up"
And now what?
I'm left starin' at the ceilin', listin' reasons you should pack all your shit up
'Cause I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
You're puttin' money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losin' streak
I keep showin' you doors, but you can't open them up
'Cause it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
You knocked
I am not immune to the Noah Kahan craze! But this song is also very Nevember to meeeeee 🫠
Neve being so guarded, so sure things are going to take a turn for the worst. But Ember, without fail, will come by and knock on Neve's door. She just keeps showin' up, but never pushes her way through or picks the lock (ok the door metaphor is getting away from me but you get my meaning lol).
And while I see this as a very Neve song, I think it applies to Ember, too! Especially when it comes to her past 🤷🏻♀️ She knows she's seen as trouble - and sometimes that risk is just too much for people to get behind. She's hoping Neve sticks around, though.
Six Shooter - Coyote Kisses
Spotify | YouTube
I took a
Cheap shot, a clean miss
Burning my defenses by the shaking of her hips
And then she
Moves in, a quick kiss
Breathing down my neck, she had me wrapped around her wrist
I try to
Break loose, tight grip
Knocking me unconscious when she bit her bottom lip
It was a
Lost cause, a fast fight
She ain't taking any prisoners and she's through playing nice
Loaded the bullets with my blood in the rounds
Yeah she's a sweet six shooter, she knows how to get down
Until the kick-back when my heart hits the ground
She said, "You think you're so tough, baby put your hands up"
And so I
Break off, I gave in
Feeling pretty good about the trouble that I'm in
IDK I just think this fits their early flirting stage well 😂
They're bantering about on a job, challenging each other, testing one another out. Flirt chicken. Having fun. Each encounter is a win-win, even when one person gets outplayed and flustered 😎 (Well, until ~feelings~ start popping up and it sends Neve scrambling for the hills.)
If I Ain't Got You - Alicia Keys
Spotify | YouTube
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't got you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Neve and Ember aren't looking for fortune or fame - hell, they wouldn't be doing the jobs they're doing if that were the case 😂
At the end of the day, they just want to do some good, make their home a lil better, and have a few loved ones to call their own.
(Also for real, neither of them would ever wear a diamond ring lol)
Sure Thing - Man Cub, SVRCINA
Spotify | YouTube
The world's gone crazy, crazy, crazy out there
Yeah, it's amazing how we even found love here
Through every tragedy, in all the uncertainty
All I know, certainly
Baby, you're a sure thing
Baby, you're a sure thing
Baby, you're the one thing
That I can always count on
Even if it's only you and I, I never question
And you know I'm a sure thing too
I just loooove the arc of both Neve and Ember being so used to going it alone to finding someone they Know they can always count on to show up and have their back.
It's a big step for Neve to place her bet on somebody. To know the risks and still count on somebody else? But Ember always pulls through.
And for Ember - a certified gambler and risk taker? I think it's more that she doesn't see it as a bet at all. She knows she can count on Neve, no matter what.
Misc. Notes
Yes, I put Stray Italian Greyhound on every Neve playlist. It fits her so well!!! 😭
Similarly, I always seem to have Faouzia's I Dare You on Ember's playlists and I shan't be stopping any time soon
I've mentioned it before, but ough... Don't Give Up On Me is suuuch an Ember-in-love song 😭🫠
Alone and the whole "'Til now, I've always got by on my own / I never really cared until I met you" ?? 😭 very Nevemberrrrr
I like putting In the Cold and The Fire by Vincent Lima back to back. I am not immune to the fire and ice motif for my girls 🙂↕️
Just imagine Love Me Like There’s No Tomorrow, At Last, and Feeling Good being sung in Tevene by Cida Ciconia at the Cobbled Swan for Peak Nevember vibes.
TRUSTFALL is absolutely what Neve especially would consider this whole experience lmao (goddd Neve would hate those team building exercises so much lmao)
Many songs about these two being in it together, no matter what: Thick and Thin, We Go Down Together, I Won't Quit On You, Hell or High Water, etc. etc.
Ok, we had to put a Celine Dion song on here. Ashes (not It's All Coming Back to Me Now which never fails to get stuck in my head lmao). We love the Drama™️but I also think it's a very Minrathous/Tevinter vibe. Neve and Ember fight so hard even when things are burning down all around them. There's still hope for some beauty to come out of it all in the end.

Usually he is quite a patient man. One must be with the dead.
But this is trying even his good will. .
“Rook we have been to three different blacksmith shops this morning alone,” he protests as Rook veers to the left where a sign promises “Genuine Dragon Hide Hilt Wraps!”
Lucanis does not help. Lucanis’s eyes light up more than Spite’s and he follows Rook with the anticipation of a much younger person spotting candy.
Rather than be dragged after them, Emmrich releases Rook’s hand, and sighs as Rook answers his protest with a weak, “Just one more, Em. Promise.”
And so he finds a shaded fountain to sit beside. And he waits.
He is only there a short while when a woman, surrounded by a small brood of excited children settles beside him, sets down numerous bags of shopping.
“You don’t mind, do you love?” she says, with the unabashed openness of most of the people of Rivain. “This road is murder on my feet.”
It takes Emmrich half a moment to realise she is addressing him and not one of the half dozen, chattering urchins bouncing around her.
“Oh, not at all, please,” Emmrich motions to the public fountain into which two of the children have already climbed.
“A hot day,” she says conversationally, “but there’s so much to do, and the weather waits for no man, nor woman.”
“Indeed,” Emmrich concedes, glancing up at the punishing sun. He’s grateful now that Taash insisted he cake himself in the cream meant to protect one’s skin from burning.
Her children play for a few moments as she fans herself and they watch the lively activity.
“Do you have any little ones?” she asks.
Manfred, immediately springs to mind. He is spending the day with Bellara, examining the artifacts they gathered from Arlathan last week. No doubt they are elbow bone deep in cogs by now.
The woman see’s Emmrich’s reminiscent smile, “tell me of them.”
By the time Rook and Lucanis wander from the shop, clutching their purchases, they are anticipating at the very least a disapproving tut, and maybe some foot tapping.
Instead they find a smiling Emmrich, surrounded by a dozen entranced children, watching the little dragon he has created from water fly in the air, running and shrieking when it sprays them. No less than four grateful parents are soaking their feet in the fountain.
“Gods, he’s cute,” Rook says and hurries off to that fruit seller Emmrich likes. It’s almost lunchtime and he’ll be hungry after an audience like this.
