... Y'know what, sure. why not
it honestly sucks that the things that would make an avvar inquisitor so good are probably also the things that stopped them from considering an avvar origin
the avvar are basically completely outside chantry influence. theres no negative reactions to being a mage, a dwarf, an elf or a qunari. we know they have a close relationship with the dwarves, that they treat magic with respect and without fear, and that their founder had an elven lover. thane svarah sun-hair mentions that their people have had few dealings with qunari, but that it's nice to not have to look down when they talk. so if an avvar became inquisitor, the whole 'choose between templars or mages' just... wouldn't be a thing? imo, an avvar would look at the breach and be like oh yeah we clearly need mages. people would warn them about magic being dangerous because mages can't be trusted and they'd be like um?? we trust our mages and it's fine?? we literally practice spirit possession for our mages so they can be taught etc and it's?? fine?? we talk to spirits on the regular? what do you mean mages can't be trusted? the advisors would be like oh we need influence to talk to the mages and meanwhile the avvar inquisitor has gone straight to redcliffe to talk to fiona about the breach and how um yeah ur right that mages shouldn't be locked up ur chantry is whack. if they weren't let in they climbed the walls.
they go to val royeaux to talk to the chantry begrudgingly because they don't like the chantry and that revered mother is all the maker would send no barbarian in our hour of need!! and the avvar inquisitor is all?? I mean I don't believe in ur maker but wasn't ur prophet u know. a barbarian? queue outraged french gasps. cassandra slightly disapproves. seras cackling on a balcony.
the avvar inquisitor doesn't want to be called the herald, and gets their beliefs disrespected a lot, but is also probably happy with their role because they're healing the tears in the sky, and thus helping the lady of the skies. there'd be an actual connection for them outside andraste, who despite not accepting as their prophet, they probably have some respect for. the avvar are pretty outspoken about their gods and beliefs from the few interactions we've had with them (probably because they're not oppressed under the chantry) so maybe they're more insistent on being called something to do with the lady of the skies. like the lady's herald or something.
interactions with companions would also be very different. solas tries to do his whole I saw it in the fade thing and the avvar inquisitor, especially if they're a mage, starts to get really suspicious because of their understanding of spirits etc. they love talking to iron bull because he's one of the few non chantry companions and their neck doesn't get sore talking to him. sera reacts to a female avvar the same way she does with a female qunari. they can help sera understand that spirits and magic aren't all demons and things to be scared of, and as a consequence her crisis of faith after the temple of mythal goes very differently. dorian and vivienne are at first both kind of wary of the way an avvar inquisitor talks about magic, but if they become friends they both begin to understand that there are ways of being taught how to resist demons. this is especially impactful for vivienne, who grew up in the circle being told she was a ticking time bomb, and if an avvar inquisitor is friends with her there's the chance to teach her their ways. they're much less weirded out by cole, and since they're so familiar with spirits, maybe they work out he's not simply a spirit earlier on. they probably get close with varric quickly because of the avvars close relationship with dwarves, and they're the one to tell varric stories. blackwall is really interested in hearing about their culture and they sit together around the fire and whittle little animals together. they probably struggle the most with cassandra honestly just because of how pro chantry she is, and after learning about how seekers become seekers they probably call her out on how hypocritical it is of her to be critical of the way their mages are taught by spirits when she herself was possessed by one. they probably start looking into a tranquil cure much earlier, because of their understanding of spirits and possession.
also a lot of avvar seem to have animal companions. I'm just saying an avvar inquisitor could have a pet.
yes, babe, you’re sick and twisted, will you come back to bed- what? yes, of course you’re evil and irredeemable. now can you please cuddle with me
You know what, I can totally get behind the whole monster-fucker thing despite being aroace because I’m aroace. The reasons are twofold:
One, unlike most sexual relationships that get foisted on me in media, monster-fuckers will take the time to actually establish an emotional connection between the characters that I can truly see as the basis for a healthy relationship.
And, two, sex is already weird as hell to me. It might as well include tentacles.
someone finally broke down the experience.
battle couples has gotta be one of my favorite tropes though. The “you got me?” “Yeah, I got you.” The kiss for good luck. Fighting alongside each other for so long they know every strength and weakness. The dichotomy of being fucking terrifying to their enemies, but so soft with each other. When one is in danger and the other goes feral, protects them at any cost. When everything is over and done, it’s all “let me see where you’re hurt,” and washing off the dirt and blood.
why do y’all refuse to listen to bisexuals lol like why don’t you trust us to define our own sexuality? why do we have to pull up historical documents and peer reviewed articles for you to believe us? it’s great and cool those things exist but i shouldn’t have to cite a bisexual organization from the 90’s to convince y’all that im a nonbinary bisexual who is attracted to all genders and i don’t have a preference. you can just trust bisexual people to understand bisexuality and you don’t actually have to question us at every turn
If Trump goes to prison during pride month I will literally never stop laughing like to charge reblog to cast give me all of your evil thoughts and prayers for this freak to get his first ever consequence.
One of the worst feelings is when you feel a hyperfixiation slipping.. Like no.. Youre so sexy pls keep giving me happy chemical
Girl help I'm losing my fixation
I can't believe this just occurred to me but like, by the end of inquisition (not even including trespasser) the game has established that the inquisitor is basically the most influential figure in southern thedas. we're directly responsible for whoever is divine, and whoever rules orlais. trespasser is all about how as a powerful faction with no ties to anyone, we're a threat. so why can't we use that power?
why can't an elven inquisitor demand the dales be returned to the elves as an independent state / country? the divine is literally the person with the power to do that. and what's celene/gaspard going to do when we've put them in charge and are potentially blackmailing them? if one of them is in power with briala pulling the strings, that just makes a stronger case. why can't we demand that? we're potentially really close friends with the divine, and even though we don't have an approval rating with leliana, she's the one who makes the most changes as divine, so why wouldn't she be happy to do that? it might not make the divine very popular, but leliana and vivienne aren't very popular at first. why would they care when they have the power to squash their opponents?? cassandra might object because she's pro chantry but we should at least have the option to ask.
like in dao, if you're dalish you can ask for land and alistair/anora will grant the dalish some in fereldan. by da2 that apparently didn't go well but it's never fully talked about. if you're a mage you can ask that the fereldan circle become independent outside chantry control, and if you're granted that, the only reason it doesn't happen is because the divine intervenes. but this time as inquisitor, you have ties to the divine and the ruler of orlais. you should be able to demand that. you should be able to end trespasser by going actually, i'm allying the inquisition with the dales. I'm staying in skyhold and if orlais tries anything (which they won't with the ruler in your pocket), I'll march. fereldan would certainly be happy to see orlais sweat. tegan probably high fives you.
