9 and bonus 3 for nick (death meme)

Ask my muse about death || Accepting

9. (same as bonus 5 apparently?) If you are immortal, do you ever wish you were mortal instead?

Answered

Bonus 3. Is the afterlife/undeath exactly as you pictured it to be?

"No. There were many things I believed in at the time, and many things that have been since proven untrue. I had heard tales of the in-between, but had thought them to be simply children's tales. Perhaps there is more truth in them than we believe."

#nick's asks #thank you! #sir why are we getting cryptic with that last answer #i get you're a vampire but there's no need for that

[quiisquiliae]

For Nick:

What’s the last thing you remember before death?

Do you wish you were alive and mortal again?

Was death frightening to you?

Ask my muse about death || Accepting

Bonus questions for Nick (and tagging @chasindtrevelyan for responses to the other half of their ask)

2. What’s the last thing you remember before death?

"The absolute last thing? It is... hazy, I believe I was likely delirious from fever. I remember feeling incredibly ill and in pain, and the ceiling of our home. There were people, most certainly a doctor and my wife as they cared for me as best they could in my last days. Possibly my children, but I do not remember."

5. Do you wish you were alive and mortal again?

"Yes. It is unnatural for beings to live this long and in such a way."

6. Was death frightening to you?

"I do not remember being dead. Perhaps it is a blessing? I was incredibly confused and scared, waking up in a wooden box underground however."

#nick's asks #thank you!!!!

Nick's questions will be answered shortly!

#Talon's asks #thank you!!! #someone else asked the same for Nick so I'll answer them there :)

[quiisquiliae]

For Talon:

What do you think is the worst possible way to die?

If you were reborn as someone/something new, who or what would you want to be?

Ask my muse about death || Accepting

2. What do you think is the worst possible way to die?

"Tied up and tortured. You don't even stand a chance, and can't fight it at that point."

4. If you were reborn as someone/something new, who or what would you want to be?

"Hopefully that ain't gonna happen, I've dealt with enough shit this round, thanks." You gotta answer the question sir. "Fine, I dunno, a dog maybe?"

#talon's asks #thank you!!!

3 and 13 for tal in the death meme

Ask my muse about death || Accepting

3. Do you think there’s life after death?

"I honestly dunno, and I ain't much thought about it either. Been a little busy puttin' off findin' that one out. Guess I never figured there's much use in worryin' about it if no one's ever gonna be able to know for sure until we're dead."

13. If you had to choose a way to die, what would you choose?

"Probably goin' out in some sorta fight I guess? Maybe somethin' on my own terms?"

#talon's asks #thank you!

Why are you lgbtq+? wrong answers only GO

#mun uninstalled the provided operating system it was too laggy #tal cant make up his mind on anything #matty decided its the best way to rebel #hawke likes the aesthetic #nick figured whats the point in being straight for eternity #logan decided to be the chaos he wants to see in the world

[quiisquiliae]

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

#ngl i'm hitting the point where the bulk of my writing partners are OCs #i love it #y'all are phenomenal and creative ily so much

ROUND 5 MATCH 6

Claude propaganda:

"To say Claude has trust issues is an understatement—you have to spend half the game earning his. (Claude isn't even his real name!) Once you have it, though, he's absolutely ride or die for you until the stars go out. He is so full of heart and ambition: He wants both sides of his heritage to get along, he wants to open borders and eliminate xenophobia and promote equality between commonfolk, and deep down, I think he craves a partner to stand with him at that new dawn, or an equal who sees his vision for the future and will fight for it just as hard. Nobody believed in him when he was a kid, but if you put your faith in him, he'll return it tenfold. Some people don't like that he's calculating, or has to leave the player character at the end of the game to go back to his homeland, but both are necessary elements for his goals to change things. He will always come back, and everyone who bets against him and his love for his companions is wrong with a big fat W. #KhalidForMostDatablePrez"

"Claude is a fun little onion of facades. He calls himself the embodiment of distrust, he acts like he's carefree and without worries, an unscrupulous schemer--and so many in universe buy into that hook line and sinker. He's used to others viewing him with suspicion and uses it as armor to obscure his not-so-dark truth: that he cares immensely, that he values minimizing the loss of life, and that above all he has so much hope that people will fundamentally choose to do better given the choice.

His front guards a center that his conflict filled world would be happy to tear apart. As the child of people from two nations in constant conflict--one of which is explicitly isolationist and dehumanizes those outside its church's reach--he hasn't really had a place where he can be without his facade. As a child he thought he could run, but when confronted with the fact that this hatred existed no matter where he ran, he chose to instead try to create a more just and kind world.

His inability to let others in beyond his facade at first may lead to a sense of distance, but isn't it then all the more satisfying when you're allowed in? All he wants is a little trust, a little faith, and--like what he wants to give everyone--a chance to be better.

And like that you got a charming young lad with a fun personality that your grandma would be thrilled to have stay forever."

Josephine propaganda:

“you get to have a full Disney princess style romance with her, she is the most precious, the most sweet, I love her so much 🥺”

“Josephine's one of the "behind the scenes" companion for the protagonist and she advises them on diplomacy-related matters.

Her personal quest and romance is fairy-tale worthy: she gets threatened with assassination, you help her restore her family's fortune, you get threatened by her best friend to not break her heart, she doesn't dare to hope you mean anything serious when flirting until you spell it out for her, after which Josie agrees to a deeper relationship... And immediately after that she finds out her family has engaged her to a random noble without her knowledge!! You publicly challenge the suitor to a one-on-one duel to win her hand, she finds out and interrupts the duel because she's worried of the Inquisitor throwing literally the entire plot away and risk life in combat for her... To which of course you can confess that they're doing it because they love Josephine, and they get the cutest cutscene with Josie jumping in the Inquisitor's arms and them spinning her around before kissing each other <3 The betrothed steps away because he sees true love between the two. She and the Inquisitor stay together through the end game and after it, gaining a "second home" with her and her family.

She really believes in the Inquisitor's cause and from the very first conversations with her, she asks questions about your background and tries to make you feel welcomed (especially appreciated if the Inquisitor isn't human since people are less trusting of them). She's politically smart but dislikes violence, overall very sweet but still strong... Josie tends to overwork herself (she's a perfectionist) and at first she tries to keep a professional air at all times but if you encourage her, she will rant to you and spill all the tea about nobles lol.”

#i would literally die for Josie ok
