One would have to be blind not to realise how very pretty we all are and how important that is to preserve.
Zevran, Shale & Morrigan/Leliana/Alistair/Wynne banter

OH MY GOD. Alistair, baby sweetness, not those kinds of borders. How have I not heard this banter before? XD

Lady Aeducan vs the Patriarchy

baratheon:

Orzammar is really fucking sexist.

Why? Well, allow Lady Aeducan (star of one of the best origins) to demonstrate.

First, we’ve got Harrowmont really hoping that the provings help our lady Aeducan find herself a man. Thing is, she already has a man she is more than satisfied with. The only problem? He’s of a lower caste and while it’s totes cool for the dudes to have casteless concubines… try and go public with your Warrior caste lover and…

Yeah. Fuck that shit. Then, she leaves the palace and you’ve got some asshole who’s all…

image

Interesting? Fuck you, she earned this. Then, seeing that she’s probably annoyed, he tries to fix it with this gem.

image

Someone just got put on the “assassinate but make it look like an accident” list for the day.

Then, she decides to check the silk merchant out and when she asks about why he thinks she might be interested, he’s all…

 image

She’s cool with silk, but seriously dude. SERIOUSLY. 

Later on, even Gorim (who is otherwise a pretty cool guy) had this shit to say about the exploitation of Noble Hunters.

image

No Gorim. Just… No. If you’re not careful, you are getting none of that glory from your lady tonight.

Fast-forward to the provings where she fights Adal Helmi in one of the rounds (who is an A+ woman ok). After this fight, the proving master is all…

image

Not many female warriors. I wonder why (oh no wait I don’t). And then if you’re a dude, you’ve got a chance to be offended at fighting a lady, and if you beat her the proving master is all “GOOD FOR YOU BRO SHOWING THAT WOMAN HER PLACE” which makes me want to punch Lord Aeducan in the face, along with the Proving master.

And to top it all off, we’ve got this fucker (not pictured).

image

Needless to say, this guy lost his head faster than you can say “the shield’s a metaphor, it’s in all of us”.

So, to conclude? 

image

Fuck Orzammar’s bullshit system. Dwarven ladies of the world, unite.

You are casteless, the dirty secret staining Orzammar’s perfect society, forced – along with your sister – to sell your services to the crime lord Beraht. To the rest of Orzammar, you are proof that the casteless deserve their fate, but you know you do what you have to, the same as everyone, just to survive.

evangelinebrassard:

can you imagine the da2 companions with their classes swapped?

isabela the mage, whipping up weather magic to avoid those that would dare chase her across the sea. she’d zap bandits down with a keen grin, looking just like a vengeful goddess descended from on high.

anders the rogue, drifting in and out of the shadows as if they were made from the same stuff. he’d have all kinds of homemade explosives and poisons ready to deploy in an instant.

merrill the warrior, strolling confidently around lowtown with a broadsword at her back. she’d be a champion for elves in danger, striking down corrupt guards and handsy nobles looking for a good time.

fenris the mage, refusing to use his maker given talents unless absolutely necessary. forever fearing the monster he might become.

and aveline the battlemage, putting up walls of thick ice between herself and the enemies, and bethany the powerful warrior with enormous shoulders, and carver the cranky mage, whom bethany always wins against in hand-to-hand combat—and sebastian vael, secretly a mage, skilled with bow and arrow, but sent to the chantry to avoid bringing shame to his family—and varric the warrior, with bianca the ballista, launching powerful projectiles into enemy ranks…

oh my god and the origins characters, too 

wynne the warrior-templar. morrigan the knight of the wilds. leliana the mage-bard. zevran, also a mage, who’s still working on perfecting a spell to pick locks. alistair the chantry mage whose ankles get chilly during long treks in the snow. oghren the rogue, whose mode of picking locks is bashing the catch until it breaks…
