But Did They Really Brake The Wheel?

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead

Tyrion: I wish Father was here.

Jaime:

Inquisitor Carver is such a fun concept because 

“I’m pretty sure this was meant for my sibling, but I got it by accident” meta-commentary

Varric and Carver being part of the same found family and relying on each other

Carver, lying, “I don’t know where my sibling is, Cassandra.”

Cassandra, about to commit a double homicide, “YOU BOTH KNEW”

Carver would not have time for anyone’s bullshit and would call out people to their face on what he thinks are shit opinions. 

Josephine’s poor stress levels

Cullen and Carver just “And he looks at me” “And I look at him” “And he looks at me” “And I look at hiiiim”

The fact that it’s Corypheous??? Like this fucker is the reason Carver almost got assassinated by carta dwarves and now he’s back??? 

Having to make the choice in the Fade and would Hawke rob Carver of his agency of who gets left behind and chooses to sacrifice themselves

Cole breathes and Carver is suddenly a big brother

Ok, a small part of me really wants to write a dragon age inquisition and critical role (campaign 2) crossover. Like there is so much potential:

Jester somehow befriends Solas because its Jester and if she can befriend a war criminal, a hag who cursed her friend, AND a chaotic archfey, she can honestly befriend anyone.

👏BLACKWALL👏AND FJORD👏BONDING

Beau not trusting Dorian as far as she can throw him until she finds out about his homophobic dad and he is allowed to join the Empire Siblings club™

Speaking of Empire Siblings, Caleb and Dorian bonding over magic. Also you cant convince me Dorian wouldn't love Frumpkin.

Caduceus and Iron Bull complaining about short doorways. Tall cow man solidarity.

Jester pestering Varric about his nicknames for people. He calls her Blueberry.

Veth adopts Krem. Thats it.

Also Veth "Is There a Mrs. Sunbreaker" Brenatto meeting the Iron Bull. Like shes a married woman and she knows better, but oh boy would she have a huge crush on him.

Caduceus offering Solas some wisdom and good tea, both of which Solas turns down.

Cullen is subjected to Jester's constant and unpredictable messages.

Yasha and Bull getting into a friendly brawl to impress Dorian and Beau

Cole takes a look a Calebs trauma and just.... the angst

Cole and Caduceus getting along really well and being the two weirdos vibing; talking about life and death.

Sera and Jester pulling the best fricken pranks in Exandria and Thedas.

JESTER AND VIVIENNE SHOPPING TRIP

Caleb taking an interest in Fade magic, and probably trading spells and magical knowledge with Solas.

Speaking of magic knowledge, Caleb shows Solas Widogast's Nascent Neinsided Tower

Cassandra and Jester swapping book reccomendations; aka Jester reads Swords and Shields and Cassandra reads Tusk Love

Fjord training with Iron Bull. And also Fjord telling the story of the Nightmare in Ivory (an ancient white dragon) hunting them across Exandria and how they almost killed it.

Jester wingmanning for Dorian and Iron Bull.

Ok but hear me out on this one: The Dread Wolf and the Somnovum being connected somehow. I mean, Aeyor and Elvhenan do have somewhat similar history.

Of course Lucien shows up to wreak havoc at some point and Sera, probably not even knowing that most of Luciens power come from his magic eye tattoos, just shoots him with an arrow in the face. Can't counterspell an arrow.

Also on opposite end of things, the Mighty Nein turn Corypheus into a turtle. He may be an all powerful darkspawn magister, but you cant argue with a failed wisdom save :\ It obviously only lasts for a little while, but it would still be kind of funny.

It’s going to be a bad night.

This may be because I'm a homosexual, but I would very much like to learn how to fight with a sword.

beauyasha + fjorester friend support 

👌

Jongup: It’s weird that we pay money to see other humans.

Yongguk: Are you talking about prostitution, the movies, or airplane tickets?

Jongup: [picking up glasses] Glasses.

He’s so alsbcksjdb

Yes, exactly!! I’ve always loved fenhawke but they came to mean even more to me after getting out of an abusive relationship myself, and I admire Fenris’s arc so so much more. He really is probably my favorite DA character next to Zevran

Oh handshake and a hug anon, I am also a survivor of abuse and sending all my love to you. 

One of the things that I really love about DA:2 is how much not only does Hawke change, but also how much companions change and develop. They are their own people, away from Hawke.

Aveline doesn’t need Hawke in order to become Guard Captain. Anders doesn’t need Hawke in order to start the revolution. Merrill doesn’t need Hawke in order to repair the eluvian. Varric was always eventually going to find someone to go to the Deep Roads. Sebastian was going to track down the mercenaries if no one else did. I’ve no doubt Fenris would have accomplished what he wanted on his own as well but a key thing to this is - Hawke helps. 

They don’t have a magic solution, they don’t immediately fix things. Aveline asks Hawke to help her on a suspicious patrol. Anders asks Hawke to help him find ingredients. Sebastian asks Hawke to come with him to the Harimann estate. Merrill asks Hawke to help her talk to the Keeper. Varric asks Hawke to come to the Deep Roads.

The companions follow Hawke because Hawke has asked for their help and because they are friends. They don’t do things and change because of Hawke. 

They all subtly develop over the course of the game, having and pursuing their own goals as well as helping each other. In the beginning, Fenris charges into Danarius’s mansion yelling he’s not afraid but by the third act - Fenris asks Hawke for their help, tells them it would mean a lot to him, and admits that he is afraid.
