rose inspired me— we know that the crossroads are in between the fade and the real world, it’s not the same as the raw fade the inquisitor experiences at the conclave and adamant. despite what vg says, the lighthouse is the same inbetween as the crossroads. but solas’ prison? that’s real. that’s carved into the fabric of the fade real. martino could handle the lighthouse and he could handle eluvian travel but it isn’t until he experiences the prison and the true fade that he understands what’s at risk. it isn’t until then that it truly clicks what’s at stake and what he’s fighting for.

APPARENTLY martino’s fc is set to be in a fantasy book adaptation coming out in 2027… i stay winning

martino likes you for real when he knits you something as a gift

he's sooo flexible, he could be an acrobat. that's his thing, actually, with the crows. being flexible (and getting blown up by the antaam)

martino was raised to kill for money, i remind you and myself. he's not going to care about other people's feelings or lives at first. he was tortured as a child and killed other recruits to ensure his own survival. his talent is not flattery and charm but flexibility and athleticism. he has to learn how to be nice and that takes time.

martino is an excellent swimmer and if you can't find him early in the morning, he's probably out for a swim

what if i said the only crow that martino respected was zevran

i’m gonna call this now and say that martino has to become a warden at the end of veilguard because he’s way too blighted, which is fun because all the archdemons are dead and the wardens aren’t needed in the same way anymore so it’s almost a tragedy to join now, but he’s also tried so hard escaping one intense group just to be forced into another. you win but have you truly won!

sadly, he probably got along better with varric after he [redacted]

early game martino would've killed all of his companions in the final battle. luckily, this is a story of personal growth so maybe late game martino only gets one killed lol

martino saves minrathous for two reasons: a) he doesn't care much for the crows, 2) he hopes the antaam will be wiped out in treviso.
