Lady Orapma

Round #5 — Match 3 of 7

Sera

“In a game where you become the face of an organisation which seeks to woo the rich and powerful to ensure its survival, you are joined by someone who believes in punching up. However, she isn't a gallant folk hero, she's an agitator. She believes in justice for the common people but that doesn't mean she is without her own prejudices and she wears those biases on her sleeve. Sera doesn't care that her beliefs seem contrary because they just make sense to her. And she's scared, so scared, but it doesn't stop her. She's brave and reckless and true to herself. It is so rare in Dragon Age to have a character be so upfront about their aims. I think one of Inquisition's biggest crimes (the treatment of Vivienne as a character is another) is that your dialogue choices when in conversation with Sera often force you to be dismissive of her views. She's absolutely right when she talks about the politics not really making much difference to the little folks. One royal arse on the throne is the same as another if they both just shit on you. Sera as a character forces you to think about whether you're really a hero. Also, her song is a banger. Justice for Sera, bane of the rich and powerful.”

“i love sera because she’s loud and annoying on purpose and it’s a survival strategy. she keeps things grounded by refusing to treat power like it’s sacred. also her sense of humor is so specific. like yes throw a pie at the concept of authority i support you”

“she's my wife and i love her”

vs. Alistair Theirin

“I like Alistair because he is one of the sweetest main characters. I feel really bad for him because he was neglected and sent away to the Chantry, then the only person who seemed to care about him was killed. He has every reason to become a villain but he doesn't. He uses humour as a mask and is responsible for some of the funniest lines in Origins. Plus I am sucker for a true romantic. He set the standard for romance for me. And I stan a guy who is not afraid to admit his own weaknesses, which is that he would not make a good leader, and steps aside when he could've led regardless for the power. Also it would be really funny if he made it through and ended up against Morrigan.”

FINALE: Tianlang Jun vs Shen Yuan

im narrowing this the fuck down because if i wanted to dig deep i'd do an actual survey but god knows i aint got the patience. anyways if you have more than one worldstate either pick what you consider Canon to you or his fate in most of your worldstates.

ALSO. JUST VOTE OK. DONT NEED TO JUSTIFY YOUR CHOICE OR WHATVEER IN THE TAGS JUST VOTE.

Disproportionate Retribution Poll Round 2 Side B:

Boston's (Only Friends) Disproportionate Retribution:

"ok so he was kind of shitty and also slept with the guy his friend was kinda sorta seeing at the time, except well the two of them weren't officially dating yet so it's kinda a grey area tbh (I don't think they even fully agreed to be exclusive at that point but I could be misremembering, but they were definitely not dating). Anyways his friend finds this out later on when he and that guy are now officially dating and decides to get revenge on Boston by obtaining a sex tape of Boston that was filmed without his consent (of him sleeping with a different guy) and then threatening to out Boston to his dad with it and holding it over him as blackmail. He also loses his entire friend group and is the only excluded from the main 6 in the end, even though literally every main character is a piece of shit and does shitty things and break laws and hurts each other but Boston is uniquely evil for having a lot of sex. and the show was even marketed on being the show about messy relationships and gay sex, but the one who does it the most is treated like he's the worst by every other character. Like one the main 6 literally recorded the audio of Boston having sex with the other guy without his consent and spread it around their friend group, another one literally engaged in reckless drunk driving and could have killed someone, after publicly revealing all of his friend's dirty secrets to everyone at a bar and calling the guy he had a fwb thing going on a whore, and several characters do hard drugs which is seen as a much more serious/bad thing to do in Thailand, but somehow Boston is uniquely evil and the only one who doesn't get a happy ending cause he likes sleeping around and isn't the biggest fan of monogamy and was an asshole about it (but again they're all literally assholes)"

Shen Jiu's (Scum Villain's Self-Saving System) Disproportionate Retribution:

"cw: gore

I mean - don't get me wrong! child abuse is bad! But surely not 'had all his limbs torn off, his eye plucked out and his tongue torn out, also his best friend was lured into an ambush and shot with a thousand arrows ' bad."
