There's a war going on

Between my head and my heart

I wonder how they grew

So far apart

I'm so shaken, about to explode

The myth of kissing princes

Is they turn into toads

There's a war going on

Between the sun and the moon

Before they come to terms we'll be consumed

There is so little blackwall content and I am starving 😭😭 I've literally watched every YouTube video available I've searched Tumblr and Google and reddit.

He's such a tender, rough around the edges character and I love him so much.

Blackwall - my hero!

He is always the last one standing during difficult fights. Yesterday I finished The Descent DLC and I basically won final battle with Blackwall only XD

ok honestly blackwall is one of the most beautiful and touching characters i’ve witnessed to date, because he has made so many mistakes

he was cocky, blew off an amazing opportunity over pride. he stayed silent when he knew he should have stood up for what was right. he was weak to corruption, and let his honor be bought for coin.

and ever since he has spent every day trying to be a bit better. he was cowardly, ran and let others take the fall, assumed another identity. But even so part of him wanted to do good, couldn’t handle being a coward knowing that he was capable of being brave. so he helps villagers in the hinterlands, passes on the one thing he has that isn’t tainted by him yet— heart, determination.

but as he journeys with the inquisitor, as he sees the true reality of what separates the tolerable from the bad, evil from good, he realizes, that he cannot stand idly by in the comfort of the lies he’s told himself. There’s no living between worlds, no ‘yes i’ve done bad, but at least i’m doing some good.’

no, blackwall chooses to live. not as a coward, hiding away from the world. as someone with honor, who makes mistakes and then fesses up to them, who admits wrong has been done because of him and lays his head down fully intending to accept the consequences.

who among us is truly that brave? aren’t we all prone to wishing to hide our mistakes in the closet of the past, to wanting to stay comfortable for the sake of our ego in fear that we may be looked upon with disgust? He had gotten away with it. He never had to reveal the truth. But he did.

blackwall IS us. The best version. he’s the man who’s done a hundred things wrong and will continue to do so. but he chooses redemption, the hardest thing in the world to do. the full honest airing of his past in exchange for a chance to do things right. to live anew, to live humbly and open himself to change and goodness in the face of harsh judgement because he knows what is right. that is the bravest and most admirable thing a person can do.

growth cannot occur in the limits of the pretty disguises we paint for ourselves. it requires shattering it and exposing us demons and all, to allow ourselves to face retribution and find honor in our worth again.
