why not do this actually

hey I'm Bec, I was wardenassan and am now wardensflight

I play a lot of video games and am definitely not starting another Dragon Age: Origins playthrough as we speak (this is mostly a Dragon Age blog but I'm also into BG3, Pillars of Eternity, Hades, Hollow Knight, and various farm sims; Rogue Trader and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous are on the list to play)

I also like ttrpgs, big fantasy novels, and movies (letterboxd)

this is not a sideblog, this is just where everything goes

I write! currently working on a Dragon Age: Awakening-era Cousland/Nathaniel Howe fic, In Armour of Bright Steel

that's it <3

there's a lot of dragon age media out there other than the main games. novels & other official books, visual novels, movies & shows... please raise awareness to not spread literally ALL the pdfs and videos around. please be responsible here.

also includes the flash games, ttrpg, and some official dao toolset resources, as well as a timeline with both in-universe dates and release dates (timeline's not currently up to date, it's not a priority, but it's decent)

update (novemeber 2024):

  • added the official screenplay for dragon age redemption

still looking for:

  • a scan of the art section from the collector's edition of the da2 guide
  • special features from the redemption dvd
  • anything released since mid-2024 (i think that's just the veilguard art book. also the podcast, but it's freely available online so i'll only do it when i can be bothered sorryyy)
  • that’s literally it. everything else is there, other than the main games and things you can read on the wiki

Round #2 — Match 27 of 52

Velanna

“Velanna is one of my favourite Awakening companions because she’s all sharp edges and she means it. You can tell exactly why she’s angry, and the game lets her stay angry.”
“she’s dalish, she’s a mage, she’s exiled, and she’s got zero interest in being polite to humans about it. also her vibe is “i can and will animate a tree to kill you,” which is extremely valid.”
“Warden-Commander: we need allies Velanna: fine. but i’m going to be mean about it.”
“her clan gets threatened, she wants revenge, she gets thrown out for it, and then she’s basically alone with her grief and her rage and the darkspawn getting worse. and underneath all that bite, she’s still carrying this very specific, very personal thing with her sister that keeps dragging her forward even when she’s trying to act like she doesn’t care. i’m a sucker for companions who feel like they walked into your party from their own disaster movie, and velanna absolutely did.”

vs. Bethany Hawke

“bethany is the nicest person in kirkwall and the city still finds ways to hurt her. i’m protective on sight.”
“she spends years hiding, watching hawke take the hits for the family, trying to stay hopeful while knowing one mistake could get her dragged away. and then the story can shove her into these huge life changes depending on what happens with the deep roads, and it always feels unfair in a way that makes sense for da2. she adds so much tenderness to a game that’s mostly about things breaking”

Round #2 — Match 23 of 52

Anora Mac Tir

“i’m always rooting for anora because she’s one of the only people in dao who feels like she actually understands what ruling costs. she’s not starry-eyed about ferelden, she’s trying to keep it functioning. and she’s allowed to be ambitious about it, which is refreshing.”
“anora is compelling because she’s not written to be easy to love. she’s guarded, strategic, sometimes frustrating, and it all makes sense because she’s been surviving court politics in ferelden for years. she knows who’s lying, she knows who’s posturing, and she knows exactly how quickly the country can fall apart if the wrong person gets the throne. i like that you can disagree with her choices and still see the logic behind them, because it makes the landsmeet feel like a real power struggle instead of a simple “pick the nice king” moment.”

vs. Shianni

“shianni’s mouth is lethal and ferelden deserved it”

Nathaniel: Oghren...were you there when my father died? No matter what people say about him, he was my father and I just want to know if...if he suffered

Oghren: I'm not the person to ask

Cousland, listening to all of this, knowing she bashed that man's skull into the pavement till it was finer that lyrium dust

in 2026, remember how GOOD writing feels. remember how satsfying it is to get your characters to the point you have been dying to get to, where they will experience the love, fear, relief or whatever the feeling you want to bring to life may be. let this year be the year of writing, prgress and of satisfactory endings.

to me, correctly using 5+ commas in a single sentence is like perfectly executing a combo in a fighting game. to me.

Avatar

if you think a sentence needs 5+ commas it should be two sentences

Avatar

it’s not about what the sentence needs, i’m afraid, nor is it about economy, clarity, or style. it’s about winning, little-theatre-fairy.
