This is just my Dragon Age brainrot account. Mostly so I can ramble about my fic I'm prob not gonna publish (and my canon Warden/Hawke/Inky/Rook in the process) and keep it off my main writing account. Possible DAV spoilers. Main: @blackbirb.bsky.social

I'm gonna slowly make little introductory threads for my DA protags and add them to the replies below. So if you wanna know who they are, the place to look is down there (eventually).

But for now, we have, in order:

Alyss Tabris
Jamie Hawke
Irena Trevelyan
Clay Laidir

A screenshot from the game Dragon Age: origins depicting a female city elf with dark red hair in a ponytails, grey-blue eyes, and a face tattoo framing her right eye. She has two swords at her back and is wearing black red and grey leather armor.

Screenshot from the game Dragon Age 2 depicting essentially the default female Hawke model, wearing a reskinned versiong of the rogue champion armor. She has dark grey eyes and a slightly darker skin tone than the actual default. A dialogue wheel shows her responding to an NPC's pickup line with the humorous response: "that was pathetic".

Screenshot from the game Dragon Age: Inquisition, showing a close-up of a female human inquisitor's face. She has red hair shaved on one side, violet eyes, a scar on her lip and the bridge of her nose is bent as though from a previous break. A dialogue wheel shows the options: 1. what is this? 2. [drink] and 3. I'm not drinking that.

Screenshot from the game Dragon Age: The Veilguard, depicting a male human Rook in the Lords of Fortune casual attire. He has light brown skin, dark brown eyes and chin lenght wavy brown hair.

Hearing about how other cultures embody third genders, nonbinary identities, and even transcended well beyond gender in their understandings makes me cry. I feel like I have been robbed somehow, in the sense that I have to fight. When I simply should be allowed to exist as who I am.

You know what, I have some BR moots on here, if you know anybody point me at them pretty please? I would love some merch at some point. lol

12. I sadly do not have any physical merch. I got artwork of them, but not *merch*. Sadly I've not been able to find anyone who makes DA merch who ships *from Brazil*. That would help things a lot because shipping and customs... It's a nightmare. 😆

11. Uhm... My color coding for Alyss changes from a maroon red to a dark grey-blue from Origins to Awakening. Symbolic of getting over trauma, or something, I dunno. It just is. lol

Leliana... I like golds and burnt oranges and yellows for her. She is very sunny-autumn in my mind for some reason. 😆

Fereldan Birb @fereldanstew.bsky.social · 4h

10. They are very caitvi coded, extremely. But also one of those character couple quizzes I took with them I got Robin Hood for Alyss and Maid Marian for Leliana and not gonna lie... Little bit obsessed with that vibe for them. 😆

#WIPWednesday! A snippet from this week’s chapter #MyTimeAtSandrock #MTaS

Annie looked stricken, jaw slack and eyes wide as Fang walked past Grace with his fists clenched. He still didn't see her. Whatever had just happened—and Grace couldn't begin to guess—had angered him greatly.

I'm writing some post-blight fluff today because sometimes I need them to be happy and Alyss dealing with children in any capacity is guaranteed joy. #WIPWednesday

"That's not faaair!" the boy yelled, his voice rising in pitch as his stomped his foot against the ground. "You can't be the Hero of Ferelden every time!"

The girl crossed her arms, unmoved by the display. And there she spoke with the authority only a child with a couple of years over their siblings would ever display. "The Hero of Ferelden is a girl, Amos."

"I don't care!" The little boy whined. "I don't want to be Loghain every time. That's no fun!" Amos argued. "Either I get to be the Hero at least once or I'm not playing anymore!"

Alyss drew a deep breath at Leliana's side and following a gentle squeeze, let go of her hand. Casually, she turned the corner of the building they had both been hiding behind and strolled right into what was shaping up to be a temper tantrum of monumental proportions.

The girl was the first to take notice of her presence. With a small startled yelp, the child dropped her branch, staring in awestruck silence as the very hero she had been trying to emulate walked up to the two of them mid-argument. The boy turned, alarmed by his sister's sudden shift in behavior and upon noticing Alyss he let out a quiet "wow" under his breath.

He recovered much quicker than his sister, however, and unabashedly he pointed directly at Alyss' face and said: "Woah, did the archdemon do that?"

"Amos!" his sister scolded. "That's rude!"

Yet, she too looked up at her expectantly, as if still hoping for an answer.

"He did," Alyss answered, a grin in her voice. "But he didn't get away with it, did he?"

Emboldened by her answer the boy asked, curious: "Does it hurt?"

"Not anymore," Alyss answered.

"Can I touch them?" he requested.

Alyss chuckled. "No. You may not."

"Aw,"

"Is it true your sword was made from star metal?"

"That's true," Alyss confirmed.

"Where is it?"

"At my father's house."

"Can we see it?"

"Maybe later," Alyss conceded.

"Can I hold it?" he asked excitedly.

"No, you may not."

"Aw."

Because I'm a giant music nerd I just need to spell out why this verse of this song is so fucking good for them imo.

I know:
(In the past) I would have loved you for who you were then
(In the past) I would love you for who are now
(In the future) I will love you
(In this moment )I love you

4. There are so many songs, fam. I have... I have so many songs for them. You can't just ask me for one!

At the moment, if I have to, it's prob this one:

"We talk about the future
and our past lives
I know I loved you then
I know I'd love you now
I know I'll love you then
I know I love you now"

Leliana often refers to Alyss as "admirable" whether or not she agrees. She will sing her wife's praises even above the Maker's depending on who asks. She loathes that she's had to be so strong, how much she's had to sacrifice, and if the world won't admire her for it she'll make up the difference.

9. I think if Alyss were ever to describe anyone as perfect, ever, that'd be Leliana. Not in a 'she's flawless and can do no wrong' way. More in the way her biggest flaws are also just another side of all the things Alyss loves about her so much and she recognizes that. 👇

8. They take a while to actually even say "I love you" to begin with tbh. I think it starts out with just "I think you're admirable", "you mean a lot to me", "you're incredible", "I'm here for you" and just other small little affectionate/vulnerable things like that. 🤔

Fereldan Birb @fereldanstew.bsky.social · 22h

7. I think the most significant way they show love through action is through support. Even in absence, even in separation, they find ways to provide a sense of support and safety for each other and when it comes down to it, if one them calls the other will come running; no questions, no hesitation.
