Love how when Hawke goes to talk to Aveline about Leandra’s death, Aveline doesn’t apologize for her guard literally failing to take the Emeric/Quentin threat seriously. Instead she talks about her own mother and tries to tell Hawke a story about her father, and then gives +5 disapproval and calls Hawke an ass when you tell her you’re done with hearing kind words. Like okay you goddamn dick, Hawke’s mother’s death is not about you 🙄🙄🙄

I know that there have been about a million posts and discussions on “RPG video game choices not being an indicator of morality” or whatever but honestly I don’t think I could be friends with someone whose Hawke returned Fenris to the slavers or took Orianna as a slave. I couldn’t even watch a playthrough of it on YouTube. Who would ever be so willingly cruel 😞

There’s something about Varric’s friendship with Hawke that makes my brain go ding in the same way Donna and Ten do. I love wholesome best friends who good-naturedly tease each other and also look out for each other without being romantically attracted 😭♥️

replayed “all that remains” again today and it brought back rlly deeply buried memories of a hawke trauma!fic i started to write like three years ago so i went back and dug it out of my computer files and goddamn if it isn’t actually some solid writing
