Hello there! You can call me strix :) This is a side blog so follow backs, asks and replies will be from @strixgirl

If you like Mass Effect, you can find me and my bullshit @reapercussions

I'm 30+ so NSFW stuff might be on this blog, though in general I don't tend to post much NSFW stuff on here.

I'm a huge dragon age nerd, so this is just a place my me to indulge in my obsession. I try to keep stuff positive on this blog, it's my happy place, but the occasional bioware or Chantry critical stuff will appear (it will be tagged as such so just block the tag). I don't do character hate but the occasional critical analysis of characters is allowed so again just block the tag if you don't want to see it.

I love OCs so there is a lot OC content on here, mine and others. I live for everyone's amazing OC headcannons, artwork and screen shots so you'll probably see me gushing in the tags lol

I'm pretty chill, unless your intentionally being a dick, and like to think I'm friendly so hit me up to chat or for dash/tag games I love that stuff :)

I work full time and have to travel often for work so a lot of stuff is queued, so if I don't respond straight away it's probably that or my brain has just forgot that it even existed (feel free to bug me if you think it's the later lol)

Name: Ilina Gavren Alias: Gan

Combat/Movement

1. Clicking on them once (non-combat) Don't touch me

2. Spam clicking on them too many times Reconsider your actions You've been warned

3. Directing them to attack/move in combat To the shadows Arrows ready To their flanks

4. Hiding/sneaking/hidden movement Don't give us away

5. Taking a short rest Ready to move on now

6. Low health/asking for healing A foolish mistake Some aid is needed The shadows call for me

7. Attacked by a party member If you insist

Interacting with Items

12. Encountering a locked chest/door Trick or treasure?

13. Picking a lock Won't be too long

17. Looking in a mirror Hmmm

19. Noticing a trap Halt or we'll be ruined

Bonus (Misc, some companion dialogues)

35. How would your Tav/Durge greet a player character if they were a companion at low, neutral, high, or romanced approval? LOW: What? NEUTRAL: What do you want? HIGH: Yes, what do you need? ROMANCED: Yes, [pet name]?

37. How would they respond to a player character prompting them with, "Tell me about yourself"? There's nothing to tell. I've traveled and roamed. I ended up here. I suspect that won't change once our adventures are completed. I'll travel and roam once more.

38. If a player character asks them to consider consuming tadpoles or using the Astral tadpoles, how would your Tav/Durge respond? Regular consumption: We should see that the powers are used to our advantage. Astral tadpole: Consuming some does not have to be consuming all. Do I want power? Of course, I've enjoyed what these creatures have bestowed upon me. But I am also still me. That creature speaks of transformations in exacting tones which I do not trust. If you want to partake, go ahead but if you attempt to bring harm to me...[places hand on dagger hilt]

39. If romanceable, what lines would they say if a player character prompted them with, "Can I kiss you?" (playfully) I suppose you've earned one… (playfully) Took you long enough…

40. If romanceable, what would they say if a player character asks for a "last kiss" at the Morphic Pool/HIgh Hall? You're talking like we're already defeated...[one long kiss]...now focus and let's finish the job...[one short kiss]

I like to imagine instead of hawke being like. witty and charming they just make no sense 98% of the time bc they grew up in a strange secluded bubble since they were constantly on the run and couldn't really set down roots. hawke having close to no social skills, meeting varric and anders, and deciding yes. normal folks. men who are normal. and then mimicking them to also be a normal person who says and does normal things. normally.

they still think theyre witty though so someone will come up to hawke and say “hey you like punching shit can you kill these gang members in hightown” and hawke will be like “well you know what they say. it takes two orlesians to ruin a party.” and varric and anders are just like “god this guy. he doesnt miss” and no one else has any clue whats going on

Something I hadn't considered until now is how brutal the mission to kill Jarvia and most of the Carta in Orzammar is for Brosca. I'll never forget the emotional gut punch that was having to fight and kill Leske, who is probably only true friend Brosca has ever had in all their life (I remember desperately searching if there was a dialogue option or something to let him live but there is none), but I also just thought that Brosca must have known most, if not all of those Carta members that we fight through the mission.

And knowing how the casteless are pretty much cut off from the rest of Orzammar's society and most are forced into a life of crime, Brosca must have known and possibly have been friends or at least care for for a lot of the Carta members, and also possibly have worked with them often under orders from Beraht and Jarvia.

Then after becoming a Warden, returning to Orzammar and under orders from either Harrowmont or Bhlen, they have to go to their old home in Dust Town and kill Jarvia (who was alledgely planning to use her growing power in Orzammar to force the Assembly to recognize the rights of the casteless), Leske and pretty much everyone else they knew during their many years growing up and while being a part of the Carta.

Just another bit of tragedy for Brosca's story.
