ULMCSD Final Round - "Reach Heaven Through Violence" - Dak-wai vs. Caden Trevelyan

Dak-wai (bg3 dak-wai tag on main, da dak-wai tag over here) featured in: There Must Be Candles (aka wyllfic), autism be damned this qunari i found in the desert can blow up darkspawn, that comic i reblog every 4 months

my personal friend, and yours. dak-wai began life as my 10 charisma paladin durge, and then i became so fond of them i keep putting them in other games. morally conflicted agender lesbian with a flat affect who only really knows how to kill things, and is trying to work that into a justified, fulfilling purpose in life by pursuing vengeance or making themself into a shield for others. more successful at this in bg3, where they do save the world, than in datv, where they become an abomination and let the veil fall because they wanted to kill solas really bad. but they have cool wings

Caden Trevelyan (tag link) featured in: i know you’d kill me if you could stand the sight of blood, god will give him blood to drink, when the wolfsbane blooms

the neglected, unruly youngest child of the trevelyans was transformed into the perfect templar thanks to the influence of knight-commander havard trevelyan, his great-uncle. caden’s entry into the order under havard’s guidance allowed him the opportunity to transition, and resulted in the most fucked up repressed blond man to ever hit thedas. he is faithful to the maker, dedicated to serving the chantry, and fundamentally convinced that he deserves to spend his whole life suffering because there’s something unnameable wrong with him. 100% committed to embodying the role of andraste’s herald. has really normal relationships with older authority figures, such as cassandra, who he made divine, and solas, who he literally just likes. and also punched. and also kind of blames for forcing him to go back on lyrium after secretly trying to quit. it’s complicated.

Hello hi! My boyfriend Thorin @tytoalbatross is still trying to save up for his impending move away from his transphobic and controlling family, as well as raise funds to start testosterone. Anything helps, he’s at 206/500 right now so about 2/5 of the way to his goal! Please reblog and help get as many eyes on this as possible!

it's some sort of damage control to say they're over it, that there's no hard feelings. in some ways she even gets it! it was a fun few months, they got betrayed, and the wheel goes round and round. if they were in aurelia's position, in a world where they had ambition and power, they'd have done the same! so. it's literally fine.

and despite the dubiousness of that relationship and the knowledge that she was being Used and Toyed with, ix doesn't think she;s a victim. a victim is something else, something worse, someone who could not have done anything to save themself. but ix could've walked away at any point! she didn't though, she stayed to finish the job because she's a Professional! their situation simply did not have the Gravity to make them a victim, and she knows this because she's made victims of other people before. if ix was a victim they'd be dead.

the sun also rises, the story’s begun.
