Okay, I’m sorry guys but I have to take a moment to talk about Geoff and Callista Curnow and how much they love each other, because I gave myself feelings about them again.

Just… the fact that the first thing they talk to Corvo about is each other. “Have you met my niece Callista? She’s getting more beautiful every year.” “My uncle, Geoff Curnow, still serves as Captain of the City Watch. But he’s a good man, and my only family.” Geoff talks to Campbell about wanting to find Callista. Callista gladly gives up a prized family heirloom, something that likely reminds her of everyone she’s lost, if Geoff is saved. Callista records several audiographs addressed to her uncle, whether he’s alive or not. She is spared during the Loyalists’ betrayal only because Havelock owed Geoff a debt (which is a whole other thing that’s fascinating to me, but not the point). Neither would have survived without the other. Their happy ending is finding each other again.

What always gets to me is Callista explicitly stating her uncle was better to her than her father ever was, which is both heart-warming and tragic at once. The wiki lists their ages as 20s (Callista) and 30s (Geoff), which means there’s a maximum of nineteen years between them, likely quite a bit less. Geoff was a teenager when Callista was born. He spent most of his life working with the Watch, clawing his way up the ranks; officers were almost exclusively picked from nobility, so achieving a captain’s position as a commoner, and a part Serkonan commoner at that, must have taken so much time and effort. But Geoff did all of that, and still managed to be there for Callista enough that she grew up to love him better than she could love her father. We don’t know exactly what that entails, of course, but it gives me the mental image of eighteen-year-old Geoff, just home from his shift and still in uniform, rushing to read a bedtime story to five-year-old Callista because she can’t sleep otherwise, and her parents aren’t there to do it instead.

They used to have a large family, and that whole family is gone now. All they have left is each other. But their relationship isn’t just one of ‘you’re the only one I have left’. It’s ‘if I can only have one person left, I’m so glad it’s you’. And I just think they deserve the whole entire world.

I managed to make Martin look good by photobashing two screenshots and get Curnow to kill Campbell, today was a good day.

(and hear his Heart quote about loving a Tyvian soldier)

Randomly started thinking about the Dishonored games today so on that theme: 📂Dishonored?

Send 📂 for a random yet completely useless headcanon I have

Oh man, I really had to reach back DEEP into the memory banks for this one. I am a "Geoff had a crush on Corvo" truther, but that's not fun bc it's fairly common among anyone who thinks about Geoff for more than three minutes.

Geoff one of the most accurate swiftest shots in the Watch. It's part of a perfectionism developed in response to how nobody is ever willing to overlook that he is of Serkonan descent. Frankly, he should've been promoted past captain already, but well... you know how Dunwall is.

Future Blinks First

Chapter 20. Give me courage when I'm changing again

My first instinct, Thomas realized with a sinking feeling, is still to follow Daud. I’m still loyal to him. 

I still hope he'll come back.

[trans-corvo]

What your favourite Dishonored character says about you

Corvo Attano: You understand - I mean REALLY understand - the meaning of the term “DILF”. Alternatively, you’re a lesbian who doesn’t get along with your father.

Emily Kaldwin: You have childhood trauma :/

Daud: You enjoy a good tragedy. Alternatively, you think gruff, miserable old men with facial scars are hot. 

Billie Lurk: You’re a communist.

The Outsider: You had a pretty intense emo phase in middle school.

Jessamine Kaldwin: You write a lot of meta.

Samuel Beechworth: You cant pick the mean dialogue options in games because it makes you feel bad :(

Teague Martin: You read a lot of fanfic and probably have a priest kink.

Treavor Pendleton: You like your men trembling and pathetic.

Granny Rags: Gone Girl fan

Geoff Curnow: You fantasize about normalcy

Delilah Copperspoon: While you are aware that it can be harmful, you are nonetheless an enjoyer of the ‘evil bisexual’ trope.

Lizzy Stride: You are a lesbian.

Alexandria Hypatia: That ‘aren’t you tired of being nice? don’t you just want to go apeshit?’ post really resonated with you.

Kirin Jindosh: You have at one point used the phrase “my poor little meow-meow”.

Breanna Ashworth: You would, if given the chance, absolutely have given up everything to join a coven of evil witches.

Paolo: Pedro Pascal fan.

Aramis Stilton: You’re tired of gay men always being depicted as pretty twinks in their twenties.

I know that this is a very unpopular opinion but hear me out!

I think not enough people consider Corvo as an unreliable narrator. We see the story from his point of view and all we know about Jessamine Kaldwin comes from his perspective. So, to think on that, do we really know how good Jessamine was as the Empress? 

I know that she is usually portrayed as a good person if not a saint but what if it wasn't that way? A lot of people in the streets are indifferent towards her image, if not hostile; the situation with Delilah; how both Geoff Curnow and Corvo are treated because of their nationality; two hatters recalling how greatly Corvo dealt with workers uprising under her command  – a lot of things are a tell-tale signs that something is not quite right. 

And at this point I have to clarify that I'm not saying things like "boo no I hate Jessamine". No, it's actually quite the opposite, I love her character. But the way it is usually portrayed seems to be so dull and static. Let her not be a saint. 

Let her be manipulative. Let her tell Corvo that "he is not like other serkonans, he is sooo special and that's why he is where he is and not somewhere deep in the silver mine", while being (just as any nobility in Gristol) not very welcome to any outlanders. 

Let her be power-hungry and afraid to lose this power. Remember a bonecharm in her hidden room in the Tower? Who knows how it ended up here! Maybe she knew (or felt) that Delilah was coming, capable of overpowering and taking everything from her. Maybe Jessamine was so afraid to lose her posh life that she was ready to use some kind of a black magic! 

Let her be disloyal. Obviously, she and Corvo developed some kind of codependency. But along with that, she was the Empress so who could stop her from having an affair or two? And Corvo was just the safest option, with a way less unnecessary risks and questions. 

Let her be an imperfect person. 

Obviously, Jessamine could be easily born a perfect ruler and a perfect loving woman for her chosen one and her daughter. But maybe she had to learn it the hard way. 

Maybe she changed along with Corvo. Maybe the plague was a critical point for her character, maybe those months without Corvo made her rethink a lot of things. 

And isn't it tragic, finally understanding and becoming the Empress everyone wants to see in you, just to be killed the other day, because all those changes have been seen as a weakness? Have nothing but faith in your closest one, faith that these people will be more wise than she was? 

Give her some development, give her some motion! She could easily  be a saint, static point.  But in my opinion, she deserves to be not perfect but in constant motion. Trying and learning, understanding and making mistakes. She was too young when she became the Empress, she was a part of gristolian nobility, not so kind to anyone but themselves, she literally had no prerequisites to become a good person. And yet somehow she did. 

It's always so easy to be a "saint" from the very beginning. And it's always so hard to learn how to become one.

#dishonored #jessamine kaldwin #imo all women deserve to be evil #(as a treat) #and esp disho women #ngl i kinda feel as a great part of Emily criticism could be applied to Jess as well #which doesnt make either of them a bad character #just as a fact #oh and also - while im still there - its not a bad thing to write Dauds development as a reaction to her death #but i feel like it was rather a reaction to the *changes* that her death triggered #i understand that she is a “woman in the refrigerator” trope in canon but we all are better than this #so again imo but it would be better to concentrate Dauds character growth aroud those changes and leave this poor woman alone #i really want to write a separate post about him rn lol #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #dt (stands for doni talks)

Call of Chtulhu AU I'm doing with @the50sfox, in which Daud is a shady PI sent to investigate the suspicious death of a painter, and the local police captain Geoff Curnow tags along and watches him go into wet sewers and slowly go insane

Corvo Attano. ^_^

Awlwren swooping in with one of my other fandoms <3

Sexuality Headcanon: disaster bisexual

Gender Headcanon: too tired to care

A ship I have with said character: Corvo Attano/A Good Night's Sleep

A BROTP I have with said character: Corvo and Geoff Curnow

A NOTP I have with said character: Corvo/Billie Lurk. Still don't understand that one at all.

A random headcanon: Corvo Attano would have played the shit out of minecraft. He also would have been so so SO bad at it, and Emily would constantly have to help him.

General Opinion over said character: Stinky garbage can rat man my beloved

#dishonored #corvo attano #ask game fill

[stealingpotatoes]

On the topic of DH ships: which ones do and don't you prefer? Would generally like to know your opinion (besides corvojess, of course. corvojess is life)

they ARE life!!!

im gonna put the list under a readmore bc that way if people don't like my opinions it's not my fault for having them it's their fault for clicking to see them <3

ships i definitely ship:

Curncrow (Corvo x Geoff Curnow) (my one claim to fame is starting the name curncrow actually) but i specifically like it happening SEVERAL years after dh1 when Corvo's had time to heal

corvo x some therapy and a good nights sleep

emlexi (:

Miss White x Dr Ramsey (girlboss x cringefail man we love 2 see it)

Breanna x Delilah are great bc they just Are (woo we love fucked up lesbians!!)

Alurksandria (Billie x Hypatia) is very niche but its hotgirl shit. they both get that "i did very bad things under bad people's influence" thing

Theodanis Abele x Aramis Stilton bc Dishonored provides MULTIPLE canon "leader x person of lower status" secret relationships! its tragic its a period drama and its also funny bc you can bet luca abele thought they were just friends

ships i could definitely get into:

ive seen waverly boyle x miss white. that seems very divorced i like it

also several gang members and callista? like billie x callista, lizzy x callista-- i guess the fandom decided she likes bad girls

& boys! obvs i prefer curncrow w geoff but callista x corvo would be a great fwb alternative if i didn't LOL

i cant think of many Ships I Do Not Like except corvo n daud (kissing ur wife's murderer is. sure ok), and i guess i think a lot of x outsider ships get a bit messy bc he's either 15yo or 4000yo and thats an awkward age gap for anyone either way lol?

#im not like. a huge Shipper in stuff tbh i usually just grab one or so OTPs for a fandom and call it a day #always go for platonic stuff more lol #thanks for the ask!
