silly musings

not an anti or a pro-shipper but a third secret thing (adult with job)

i know apostates just openly wander around w staves in da2 because game mechanics but you have to imagine that realistically within kirkwall they’d just have to do a ton of bare-handed casting and fuck up their hands immeasurably. like when you meet anders in awakening and he’s visibly shaking out his hands and wincing bc the templars didn’t give him a stave to defend himself and so he burned himself frying the darkspawn. staves are at least partly a safety measure. it wouldn’t be surprising if his hands are absolutely littered in burn scars in da2 or if bethy’s lost a finger to frostbite or merrill doesn’t quite have the feeling in them anymore after too much entropy

i cant get over how wynne is only like 50 and everyone including warden is like “knit me a sweater grandma” to this middle aged woman and zevran is just “kind of a milf. reblog.”
