#river lavellan

lavellan turns into a rightful, angsty, rude, person who becomes ruthless - yet still, and only has that soft spot for solas. preaching to save him throughout all of tresspasser and telling everyone to fuck off who says otherwise.

what if Arviraven, in their banter with Solas, thought he was helping him process the unspoken grief inside him, but instead convinced him more of springing into action and, in the process, Solas himself completely misconstrued Arviraven's persona, ethos and intentions, thus creating an unsalvageable scenario where not only Solas deceived Arviraven, because a God has no choice but to fold whatever personhood they might own to their own realm, but also deceived himself in creating a version of River in his head which didn't exist, would never exist, and now that they see each other plainly they can't help but to be disgusted what is in front of them.

what if now they know Solas can't be anything that is true, ever, because Fen'Harel is the God of Trickery and Lies, the most bitter teacher among the Dalish Pantheon, and Arviraven is truly a vassal of Dirthamen, God of Secrets, Knowledge and Piety, to whom lies are abhorred and truth is revered, and who (above everything and representing an even worse trespass than River sticking by his beliefs) believes in the people of this world and in their future, and is willing to do anything to assure his people, all elvhen people, dalish, modern, ancient and still alive, city or mixed, have that future because being a vassal of Dirthamen means that you believe in the creation that knowledge and solidarity can bring, and you are willing to set your purpose to find it.

Juno Mahariel

The shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light And everything you thought you knew Will fall apart, but you'll be all right

Rowan Hawke

Every good intention, every good intention Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array Looking for the faces

Arviraven Lavellan

All that's left for me to climb To the heavens is the chasm of the night And a matter of time

Iraya Surana

I can feel it on my tongue Brick and mortar, thick as scripture Drawing lines in the sand and laying borders as tall as towers

Carlota “Charlie Hawke” Amell

This hill I'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks Colored indigo and inscribed with my name, and lined with cedar

Viera Lavellan

But the words fall flat like cymbals crashing Like molars gnashing

Dirthalath Lethandar

Like constellations a million years away

@ammoniteflesh tagged me to make my ocs in this picrew, so we get the babes from the two main worldstates. tyvm!!

(additional to these worldstates is Dirthalath and, of course, Dirthamen as I imagine him but neither of them translated well into the picrew)

top row, ‘what is right over what is easy’: Juno Mahariel (they/them), Rowan Hawke (she/her), Arviraven ‘River’ Lavellan (they/he)

bottom row, ‘blood and tradition’: Iraya Surana (she/her), Carlota ‘Charlie Hawke’ Amell (she/her), Vieradhalen ‘Viera’ Lavellan (he/him)

if you see Carlota’s pointy ears no you don’t, or she’ll blood let you

commissions that hold your life gently in your hands. thank you so much @forystr for these two comms, of fenris and my hawke, rowan (she/her, nb), and dorian and river, my inquisitor (he/they).

Juno Mahariel:

Rowan Hawke: Yes

Arviraven Lavellan: Went from that’s the coolest person in the Arlathvhen to this fucking nerd is my brother’s qpp. Demotion out of Cain instinct alone

Iraya Surana: Besties, but she’s slightly terrifying to them. Weird that she’s their coworker and they’re technically her superior, when Juno would give her mad wide berth if she’s up to something.

Carlota “Charlie Hawke” Amell: Ever met a person who is so fucked up that rearranges your entire worldview into realising that you’re actually sort of okay?

Vieradhalen Lavellan: Corruption of the Blight-Blood of the Reaver solidarity; bros, childhood bestie, it’s absolute whack-a-doodle time

(Bonus) Dirthalath Lethandar: That’s a funky man to whoa holy fuck holy shit what do you MEAN you’re the deity of the Vir Banal’ras, The Way of Secrets, the Spymaster-God— if they think too long about him, they’re going to have another existential crisis.

Rowan Hawke:

Juno Mahariel: GET A LOAD OF THIS FUNKY LITTLE GUY, goth hawaiian shirt appreciator solidarity

Arviraven Lavellan: Have you ever met someone you’d trust with your credit card information from the get go? Political allies, this guy has the right idea

Iraya Surana: Knows a power lady when she sees one, 10/10, would’ve flirted with her if they met each other single 

Carlota “Charlie Hawke” Amell: Family members to get a restraining order against

Vieradhalen Lavellan: They’d get each other on a fundamental level about certain things, Rowan is surprisingly at peace about the accidental, unnecessarily deep perceiving

Dirthalath Lethandar: Party bi solidarity despite otherwise being just some guy to Rowan. Never fully convinced about the story behind his real identity, despite knowing its true. the “unsung member of the Panthenon” bit

Arviraven Lavellan:

Juno Mahariel: Putative little sibling and the according violence of that. The cease fire is when Juno is acting as the Warden-Commander, but then everything they do as the Warden-Commander, River will use for putative sibling cain instinct means

Rowan Hawke: Absolutely yes. She gets it. Allies to the end

Iraya Surana: Trans solidarity, she is an icon, a legend and she is the moment. Ever met a person who gave you “you would’ve been a magnificent Keeper” upon meeting each other? Yeah.

Charlie “Hawke” Amell: You need therapy and to shut up. Now.

Vieradhalen Lavellan: The literal most important person in his life. Would tackle him and blackmail him bc he’s his older brother regardless, but that is the single most important person in his life

Dirthalath Lethandar: What if I told you you will meet one of your Gods, and in him there is not just a person, but your friend? Scholar to Scholar communication happening at all times

Iraya Surana:

Juno Mahariel: Bestie, beloved friend despite she isn’t the most expressive about it. She hopes they understand

Rowan Hawke: Iraya didn’t think the campy, communist jester act could be pulled by anyone, but hey, it’s always nice to be proved wrong

Arviraven Lavellan: Instant role model, instant respect

Charlie “Hawke” Amell: Would fight her in a pit. Literally catch these hands

Vieradhalen Lavellan: Please tone down the adrenalin sport addiction. Good Dalish boy, but for the love of fuck revert to the stoic, kind knight she thought you were on first impression

Dirthalath Lethandar: When You Are Loved By Wilfulness, You Will Never Be Forgotten

Carlota “Charlie Hawke” Amell:

Juno Mahariel: Respects the title. Other than that they do not exist. No, she won’t be letting them have an “audience” with Anders, no she does not care he’s their jurisdiction. Things change. Keep Justice, tho.

Rowan Hawke: Rabid, violent resentment. You had everything I wanted and you threw it. You’re better than me and you shouldn’t be. You would disagree with me and therefore I hate you.

Arviraven Lavellan: No one would spark an inferiority complex in Charlie like this guy* (*terms and conditions apply)

Iraya Surana: Second in the scale of sparking inferiority complexes

Vieradhalen Lavellan: "No comment”

Dirthalath Lethandar: Absolutely Not.

Viera Lavellan:

Juno Mahariel: PINK PINK PINK GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS GLITTER GLITTER GLITTER TWIRL TWIRL TWIRL TOGETHER FOREVER WE’RE JUNO AND VIERA BEST FRIENDS

Rowan Hawke: Would achieve gym buddies status real quick

Arviraven Lavellan: Literally the most important person in his life. Would commit endless violence (affectionate) on them for oppressing him with a single Chore, but he is his brother’s sword

Iraya Surana: Let’s go lesbians lets go!!!!! Hey hey look at this!!! (does rock climbing parkour that makes Iraya ask Arviraven if Viera is always like this)

Charlie “Hawke” Amell: She’s the insanest person he’s ever met, and he’s met Corypheus and Solas

Dirthalath Lethandar: If I Ever Fail To Look After My Brother, I Beg You Do, Please (religious)

(Bonus) Dirthalath Lethandar:

Juno Mahariel: Child With Self-Esteem Issues Proves Harder To Convince About Them Being In Their Head Than What Dad Expected

Rowan Hawke: His favourite Hawke if he had to pick one

Arviraven Lavellan: What if the God was devoted to you instead of the other way around. They have given him back his purpose, his true and actual purpose, and this is a debt Dirthalath will never be able to repay

Iraya Surana: Child Entrusted To Your Care By Accident Quickly Becomes The Favourite

Charlie “Hawke” Amell: She reminds him of his sister before he was disowned back in the Elvhenan times, and this is enough to be extremely glad he never has to know she exists any more
