My headcanon that cannot pried out of my cold dead hands is that season 1 Derek is a 19 year old kid.

Like look at this dude!!! He's clearly just a kid. A little rough around the edges, a little big of a meaner face but he's just a wee kid. This is how college students look like!!!!!!

The way they make Derek look much older in the later seasons and try to claim that he's in his mid twenties or some shit??? IM CALLING BULLL

I think that was a way to make people stop shipping sterek by introducing a bigger age gap cuz jeff davis sucks.

I will forever and ever and ever stand by that this is just a lost 19 year old kid who is going through so much and he has no adults to help him through anything.

Rook: That's gre-

“You’re the only one I can trust not to sugar coat it.”

“Not gonna go easy on you.” “I’d be insulted if you did.”

“Wow, you really are obsessed with me. Come on, following me and trying to figure out my routine?”

“Even if I did think you were hot, it doesn’t change that I’m simply better than you in every other way.”

“How’s it feel? Always standing in my shadow?”

“I need some advice. And as much as I hate you, I know we’re more similar than we’d like to admit.”

“I don’t hate your ambition. It’s something I always did rather… respect.”

“Next time, I’m gonna crush you.”

Using the flycam, you can see Fade!Varric turn back to look at Rook one last time before their companions pull them out of the Regret Prison.

Things to consider when Writing about Schools/Academies!!

⊹ What is this school actually for. training mages? knights? spies? just normal education? because "prestigious academy" means nothing if you don't know what they're prestigious at

⊹ Who gets in and how. is it merit based, do you have to be rich, legacy admissions, secret tests, random selection, born with the right abilities. what happens to kids who don't make the cut

⊹ What's the age range. are these literal children or young adults or mixed ages. because a school with 11 year olds has very different problems than one with 18 year olds

⊹ How strict is it. prison vibes with tons of rules? pretty chill? different rules for different student groups (which is unfair and causes drama)?

⊹ What are the social hierarchies. obviously there are cliques but what are they based on. wealth? power level? what year you're in? family name? talent?

⊹ What happens if you fail or get expelled. are you just sent home in shame or is it worse. do people sometimes not survive the training. how often do students drop out or disappear

⊹ Who are the teachers and why are they teaching. washed up former heroes? people who never left? actually passionate educators? suspicious people using it as a cover? mix of all of them probably

⊹ What's forbidden. certain magic, certain areas of campus, relationships between students, leaving grounds, specific books/knowledge. and obviously your protagonist will break these rules

⊹ How do students get sorted/grouped. houses? teams? specializations? randomly? and do these groups have rivalries because they should

⊹ What's the curriculum actually like. is it actually useful or are they learning weird outdated stuff. are there classes that are just covers for something else. what are the hardest classes

⊹ Where is this school located. isolated castle? middle of a city? pocket dimension? floating island? does it move? can students leave or are they stuck there

⊹ What traditions does the school have. tournaments, festivals, hazing rituals (the dark kind), graduation ceremonies, weird old customs nobody questions

⊹ Is there corruption in the faculty/administration. favoritism, taking bribes, secret agendas, covering up student deaths, embezzling, working for the villain

⊹ What's the diversity situation. is it segregated somehow (by class, species, magic type)? integrated but with tension? do some groups face discrimination from staff or other students?

⊹ What happens outside of classes. clubs? underground fight rings? secret societies? banned parties? students sneaking out? romantic drama?
