#second playthrough

I mean- I swear had NO idea-

I only went to my quarters bc I had just bought a new bed after a lil shopping spree in Val Royaeux and I wanted to see how it looked in the room but then it triggered a cutscene and Dorian came up to my Trevelyan already whispering on his ear and grabbing him by the waist and I just sat there with my flabbers gasted 😳😳😳😳😳

And the aftermath?? With Dorian walking around the room naked and yapping about decorations bc he was too scared to talk about what they just did?? And the fear but also the relief and the sheer hope in his eyes when my Trevelyan reassured him about his intentions????? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Bitch I was just redecorating Skyhold a bit before closing the game and going to sleep why must you hit me with a 10 ton truck of tenderness, passion, chemistry, raw emotions and every possible thing that is capable of making sure I don't get ANY SLEEP AT ALL

I had to physically refrain myself from SCREAMING bc it's late and I have a sister and neighbours, holy shit man I really wish I had some mental prep before jumping into the scene it was so beautiful but now I have a sore throat and my sleep is GONE 😩😩

And the fact that dating Dorian as a Trevelyan is quite the High Society Scandal™️ - confirmed by the orlesian courtisans that hang out in Skyhold, the people from the Chantry, Leliana's agents gossiping amongst each other, Josephine and by Dorian himself - is also not helping on my task of calming my brain the fuck down so I can get some decent sleep, the already emotional moments have the room to be even more charged by this-

I come back from recruiting Emmrich, which is very charming as a Mourn Watcher, and return to the Lighthouse and talk to Lace about the Inquisition and Solas and I'm grieving again over her immense compassion.

Thinking about Sadie Adler and how well she was written,,,,about how rare it is to see a woman in media so completely and actively uninterested in a romantic relationship with anyone for several years, despite how close she becomes with members of the gang, both male and female.

Thinking about how Sadie was allowed to grieve Jake in such a raw way, even to the point of suicidal ideation—and not once did it feel like a discredit to (or shallowing of) her own character. She was written to be her own person, but still written to care so deeply about her husband that his loss affected the core of her being to the point of scorching her morals and hardening her heart I just ajdbajdbdjd

Thinking about how possessive she was written to be—even in context of her friends and family—without ever directing that trait into romance, no matter how easy it would have been to do.

The result of the strike will likely be mass layoffs or the dissolution of the mines bc Tabitha cannot afford to meet their demands, but if a business cannot afford to meet the workers demands, then it probably shouldn’t exist
