seeing people say "this trope has been done to death" as if that's ever stopped anyone from eating bread. BREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL WANT MORE BREAD. write your chosen one AU. write your coffee shop meet-cute. write your 47th iteration of "there was only one bed" because guess what??? we're still hungry.
So Davrin hasnāt been back to his clan since he left, and I canāt stop thinking about it.
Because Davrin clearly cares a lot about being elven. Heās the first to point out how the actions of Solas and the Evanuris will negatively impact elves. He talks about how important the halla are, and the Way of Three Trees is core to his approach to life. Itās heavily implied that HE named Assan.
And yet heās never gone back home. He didnāt fit in with clan life, and heās obsessed with finding a purpose. I wonder if he feels guilty, like he needs to have an ultimate justification for why he left to āredeemā the choice. Because otherwise heās betraying his people, his culture, to become part of the world at largeā the world that harms elves and persecutes them. Is he afraid heāll be scolded? That he wonāt fit in anymore? That he wonāt be seen as āreally elvenā?
This is why the scenes with Eldrin are so important. When Eldrin says āIām glad you took the road less traveledā essentially, heās giving Davrin permission to not feel guilty for his choices. Heās telling Davrin that he doesnāt have to Be A Specific Way to still be Dalish. Heās allowed to be himself and ALSO a Dalish elfā which goes hand in hand with the conflict between being a hunter and being a caretaker.
Technically Davrinās arc starts when you meet him, but his character progress starts when he survives Weisshaupt. Heās been forced to face the fact that the world isnāt what he thought it was, which means he doesnāt have to hold himself to these strict rigid standards between categories. And thatās what Assan teaches him over the course of the game as well. Heās allowed to be many things, and he can accept all parts of himself without fear or shame.

becoming too OC pilled will ruin your fandom experience forever. i have invented The Character who is perfectly tailored to my own tastes and not beholden to any writers or showrunners. and i can even make more of them if i want. but watch out.

Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.
