had the big-brain realization that the way alim dresses post!blight is essentially just riding habits, which is especially fitting for inquisition era after dennet supplies alim & the inquisition with horses

every morning I brush the blood out of my teeth and wait for the sun to rise. I look in the mirror and I refuse to hold my own hand. I embrace the parts of me that I cannot love but that doesnโt make it any easier to carry it around with me. Iโve survived everything the world has thrown at me. I survived. but grief is a snake thatโs slowly tightening its grip around my throat.
โ Hannah Green, from โThe Morning After.โ

"i resolved to live to spite him. i begged. i sold what parts of my body remained to me. i became an excellent thief & soon learned that the contents of a man's letters are more valuable than the contents of his purse. step by step, one distasteful task after another, i made my way from the slums of myr to the small council chamber. influence grows like a weed. i tended mine patiently until its tendrils reached from the red keep all the way across to the far side of the world [..]" plucks every fucked up weirdo who clawed their way out of the gutters & up into decked halls by sacrificing morals & dignity alike & just. places them in a drawer labeled alim muse insp

god alim's just. an unsettling lil weirdo. tall for an elf, built like a twig but can chop a man's head off well as anyone with a blade in hand, paler with every year, got them reflective elf/warden eyes, can never seem to fully bleed out but doesn't have the healthy flush of someone with a lot of blood, absolutely cold to the touch & barely warmed by a fire, as a mage thrives in close-up combat & fights like an abomination. @/ferelden your hero is so offputting <3

i yote about as much to ksusha earlier but please think about hofs & in particular mabari-having hofs & being associated with wolf collars. look at these things
wolf collars are specifically meant to protect livestock guardian dogs from, well, wolves, & on their own they look like a kind of halo. something something fereldans & their dogs, & wardens being guardians of ferelden ; something about how humans & adjacent are To Darkspawn no better than livestock. the collar is as much armor as it is a weapon, intended to fend off attacks to the neck whilst injuring the wolf biting at it. the hero of ferelden, said to be maker-sent, bathed in divinity as both shield & spear, & when the fight is over the halo drips with the blood of the enemy...
