Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Gravity Falls and TSW
FUCKING REALLY MALA
Dragon Age:
The first character I first fell in love with: Alistair, bc a.) you meet him early on, b.) I am a sucker for dorks who crack jokes to hide SECRET COMPLEXITIES, and c.) Alistair tho.The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Wynne, tbh. She seemed kind of stuck up the first few times I talked to her but now I see her for the amazing badass she truly is.The character everyone else loves that I don’t: hmmmmm….the only character I really kind of dislike is Oghren, and I don’t think he’s very popular anyway. Oops.The character I love that everyone else hates: I am in the minority on Tumblr in that when I see someone who hates a character I like, I….leave. So nothing really sticks out. I know there are people who don’t like Alistair, though, so. I don’t see much around about Sten, either, and I ADORE Sten, but I don’t know if that counts as people hating him.The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Morrigan. NO WAIT HEAR ME OUT. When I was first introduced to her I was like “cool, snarky witch-thief, I am down with this” but as the game went on and she was just permanently horrible to everyone it just became less fun. I still love her character and her development and everything else, but having her in my party is a fucking chore sometimes. (I have the mod that replaces the stuff they cut out of the final release, so I’m thinking I’ll bust through a playthrough with it when I’m stuck at my parents’ for the holidays.)The character I would totally smooch: Alistair. Zevran. Leliana, but in a “I am drunk and want to kiss someone and you seem the least likely to make a big deal out of it the next morning” way. The character I’d want to be like: Wynne. I’d like to be that put-together and at peace with the shit in my life.The character I’d slap: Oghren, probably out of reflex.A pairing that I love: Alistair/Morrigan, in a completely unhealthy, allow-me-to-introduce-you-to-the-concept-of-hatefucking way.A pairing that I despise: Leliana/Zevran. It feels very pair-the-spares-y to me.
Mass Effect:
The first character I first fell in love with: Garrus. I AM PREDICTABLE, I KNOW.The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Thane, now that I’ve romanced him.The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Kaidan. I don’t get it. He bores me at best and makes me want to space him at worst. I’m sorry.The character I love that everyone else hates: Hmmmmmm I think the same answer applies here as for Dragon Age, honestly. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Jack. When I first played 2 some 5-odd years ago, I was still very much in that adolescent “fuck yeah, fight the power, everything is pain, etc etc” mindset, and Jack really spoke to that part of me. Replaying it now, my eyes almost literally roll out of my skull every time she gets on her “LOOK AT HOW HARDCORE I AM SHEPARD LOOK AT ME LOOK AT MY HXC” bullshit. (Jack is 3 is still awesome though, I love the development she got.)The character I would totally smooch: Garrus. Thane. Vega. Tali. Joker. Mainly Joker. (You know. Carefully.) The character I’d want to be like: Tali. I can only ever hope to be that adorable while wielding a shotgun.The character I’d slap: Kaidan, on Mars in 3. Multiple times. As a Paragon interrupt.A pairing that I love: Garrus/Tali. Joker/EDI. Vega/Cortez. A pairing that I despise: Jack/anyone, that girl is too fucked up for a healthy relationship.
you know what I’m calling pass on the last two on the grounds that a.) I am incredibly new to both things and thus cannot answer half the questions and b.) I don’t wanna.
