Watch What Happens

who looked at the newsboy strike of 1899 and went “yeah they should all be doing backflips”

the line “they think they’re running this town but this town would shut down without us” has me in a chokehold and i think we need to talk about it

It's the da2 Motif of haunting. "In the days of Arlathan the elders came here to sleep. Uthenera, they called it, the endless sleep. But they don't sleep peacefully anymore". Bertrand's Haunted House. The sibling who stands shadowed out as you select your party. The other sibling dead at the beginning but constantly on your mother's lips. Your mother; a literal corpse brought to life by a man who was so haunted by his dead wife he remade her. Merrill, haunted by the Warden, by her friends who died to the mirror, and by Arlathan. Anders, haunted by Justice and the friends he used to know that he fears he broke; as well as the years in solidary confinment. Fenris; the blue wraith, the lyrium ghost, haunted by slavers and by a master who even now he struggles to be free of. Avelines dead husband. Isabelas mistakes. Abient dialogue; you remind Isabela of a dead sailor she used to know. Malcolm Hawke who you never meet but stands like a ghost at every turn in the narrative. The fact that the villians won't die. Haunting is in da2s bones I'm obsessed with it.
