I was really excited to learn there was a new brs anime and haven't caught up after episode 6 and... don't think i'm going to unless there's something really cool in the later episodes but my expectations for that are.... yeah

I have a "scale of interest" for stories that is essentially just a hope scale that goes from "The protagonists are very obviously going to beat the antagonist every time" to polar opposite "well this is fucking dismal," I'm just gonna skip other explanations and say dawnfall is on the direct opposite of having any hope

like yes. I know it's edgy. I know it's apocalyptic. I know it's dystopian. and empress says shit like "I want to save humans" but it feels so empty and lifeless and I'd say i guess maybe that's the point but even then the other 2 have memory loss kind of but still have emotions could she not be a little bit more... or it's not even her it's how its shown I guess. but mainly what I'm saying is it feels so hollow and lifeless. Like obviously there's going to be a positive outcome ending but I wouldn't feel anything about it. I don't get attached to any of the new human characters cause the immediate feeling right off the bat is that I shouldn't care about them cause they're all going to die (not that they were intriguing at all anyways ) did care about one human character but immediately knew they were gonna die and guess what. they died. wow. their death was tragic and I couldn't even cry over it cause it was not only expected but I was also, i don't know what the right word is, but essentially "god fucking damnit" emotion.

an apocalypse isn't exactly going to be a hopeful place at all but like. wtf am I rooting for then in your story. only rooted against the villains cause they were literally fucking vile and repulsive on every level with no fucking depth, and even then I'm still barely rooting for the heroes cause it's just like "yeah...go... maybe like... not die or something. whatever." Like in the story who cares about the greater good? the army guy I guess does but is so cold and asshole that I don't care about him, the boy and girl characters would give me hope if they were more unique or even like lasted a little longer but they didn't, that other adult(?) girl doesn't really care, dead master only 'cares' for the same reason other girl does, strength cares but (tries not to?) express it and brs/empress is the main one who does but is represented like an actual robot even tho the other memory loss girls aren't which isn't a great combo in this souless world

and also the very bad innapropriate mention under uh the thing that thing

sexual assault / necrophilia mention warning

why is there so much rape shit mentioned. well not only mentioned i'm only forgetting cause i try to PURGE IT FROM MY FUCKING MINDSCAPE AS MUCH AS I CAN COUGH HORRID SMILEY SAGA COUGH but like off the bat. there's the army guy threatening the guy that looks like a teen kid to. dead corpse. nasty. i want to avoid saying it correctly. and then there's uh hacker. girl. who acts very creepy i dont want to fact check what she said and then dead fast literally saying she wanted to kill and then defile empress. and then all of the fucking YUCK saga that's. way too much what the fuck. that's fucking weird. Like I'm very open minded but that's a bit too much stretching to say the previous was not fucking weird. but smiley is all beyond that WHO THE ACTUAL FUCK THOUGHT THAT. THAT. *GESTURING* THAT WAS A FUCKING GOOD IDEA. If i wanted to talk about it I would rant but as i mentioned HRRGRGGGNNNNNGH. Smiley in the least repulsed way i can describe him and the decision to him is "The best way to get someone to stop watching your show and want to run it over with a fucking car, truck even, if you will,"

anyways to conclude my whyisthisanessaylengthanimepost ; once the series is over someone upload a video of literally just every scene strength is in cause they are literally all I care about in that show. got dam.

#if I seem vague in this from not remembering it's cause i watched this a bit ago and will not. will not rewatch.#General content warning mention like sa being mentioned cause of show contents and other stuff #also there's like. the whole more revealing clothing that's just done in an honestly gross and unappealing manner to mention #LONG POST. OOPS #dawnfall spoilers ig.

MAIA LAVELLAN

@denerim tagged me to do this! i read somewhere that you can do with whoever character you like so... i needed to give some love to maia! :3c (also: i change my hawkes and wardens a lOT soooo... i prefer to do this with a character that isn't changed much :/) i’m tagging: @falkreathh, @ciriofcintras, @blckwall, @rowsin, @venatori, @widowmaqer and everyone who wants to of course!! :) i sUCK at speaking english so... don’t expect much lol

appearance

— long black straight hair which reaches to the waist, it is thin but dense. tends to braid it or put it in a bun when doing quests. she always decorates it with flowers she finds in the road, and the ones she likes the most, tends to cast a spell to make them remain fresh forever. but in trespasser maia cuts her hair to shoulder lenght and no longer wears flowers in it. — before the conclave she used to have porcelain skin, tho a bit dry. after the conclave she has an "ugly" burn scar in most of half of her face, because of this, that zone tends to get dry more often and she always has to carry a special moisturizing cream. also, her left ear is burned too and a piece of cartilage had been detached from it. bc she wasn't the inquisitor, she would be near the conclave and the explossion would have reached her, so she still has the burn scars. — oval or diamond face shape, big almond and monolid eyes, flat nose and a bit wide, thin lips which usually wear red lipstick. — she wears the mythal vallaslin on her cheeks, to revere her mother who did "justice" and save her. also her mother had told maia more than once that if she belonged to a dalish clan she would have chosen the mythal vallaslin. — she's quite short. maia has always been shorter that the rest of the girls of her clan. maia supposes that she's that way because she spent the first eight years of her life malnourished. her height makes her a bit self-councious. — before the conclave her body was considered too thin even among elves, she naturally has a fast metabolism and this is one of the reasons she is self-concious. she also wasn't too fit, she used to get exhausted by just doing mild exercise. however while building the inquisition, while doing the quests, she built up quite a bit of muscle, tho the first weeks were awfully exhausting. she also has some big burn scars on her shoulder, arm and back.

pack items:

— her moisturizing special oil and cream (for her burn scars, which tend to get dry very often). — a sack with some coins. — a personal diary which was a gift from keeper deshanna. — elfroot and a dalish pipe, to calm down when she has panic attacks or feels anxious (which is 24/7, lmao. jk, tho it's kinda tru :/). — whatever books she's reading at the time.

handwriting:

she likes to make an easy but "cute" handwriting. tho it gets messier when writing in a hurry or her ideas go faster than her hand :3c.

approval:

— helping people in need. — being respectful towards the dalish culture. — being respectful to non-human races. — being merciful towards animals. — being supportive of mages. — expressing your emotions or opinions to her. — and asking hers too. — talking about books or elfy stuff. — listening to her when she speaks.

disapproval:

— being rude to elves. — being too ruthless. — thinking the maker is the only true god. — thinking magic is dangerous. — supporting the chantry. — stepping on others to advance yourself. — supporting the aristocracy. — telling her her burn scar is ugly or makes her ugly (she will probably cry and never talk to you again lmao). — asking her about her life before the clan, without enough approval or before her personal quest.

romance:

maia would be a romanceable companion, both for women and men. however, if you are a human male, she will tend to disapprove more times and she'll be shyer or even scared of you, so be careful! she tends to get along the best with other elves. you will be in a relationship with her, after her personal quest. her personal quest is about finding the location of her biological mother, because leliana has found some information. maia will ask you if you can go with her, you can accept or turn down her offer. if you turn down her offer the previous romantic interactions will have no meaning and the romance will be impossible. you will have to find evidences of her mother's track in the emerald graves. when yo do so, you'll go to the knight's tomb. you will find maia's mother, an elven woman in her fourties who has grey sideburns. she carries a bow and before talking to her she will warn you that if you take another step foward she will shoot an arrow. you can speak for maia or you can let her speak. her highest approval is if you let her talk and she will disapprove if you threaten her mother. if you make the right choices maia's mother will confess that she is trying to find information about the state of the red templars to her leader. now, you can make her prisioner so she can confess who's her leader, oR, you can let her live in skyhold without asking her any more questions. if you make her a prissioner maia will leave the party and in trespasser there will be a slide that says that maia's mother died in the darkness of the dungeon, forgotten, without telling any new information, and the next day you'll recieve a letter that says: "may the dread wolf never catch your steps, because the day he finds you, you will feel infinite pain", this letter is from a person whose font you find "familiar". if you romanced solas and made maia's mother a prisioner, you won't receive the letter, tho solas will GREATLY dissaprove of your decision. you can harden maia if you tell her that her mother is unknown to her, that they have nothing in common, that maybe they'll have to work to get along and that she will have to choose between her biological mother and her clan, if so, maia will choose her clan over her mother. to unharden her, you'll have to encourage her to embrace her new family and accept her new life, if so, she will choose her mother over her clan. if you don't romance her and she is in the party the whole game, she will start a romance with solas, and you can comment on it in some banter. if maia romances solas, she will leave the party before the last scene in trespasser (when you disband or keep the inquisition), and in the sliders leliana will inform the inquisitor that maia is an agent of fen'harel. and yes, maia is an agent of fen'harel in trespasser, and she will change some dialogue, when she talks about solas or fen'harel she will sound less impressed about the qunari and the agents of fen'harel. if you romance solas and you have high approval, she will tell the inquisitor that they're lucky for having such a good and honorable person as their partner, but before the temple of mythal, she'll warn you about solas with a really cryptic talk; "the wolf will cry because their heart is broken, but it's their own fault, so don't sadden yourself because they bit you".

dialogue:

entering combat: "ma halani!" ("help me!" in common) "fenedhis lasa! i'm a healer! not a fighter!" "so... more trouble? (sobs)" "not again... (sighs)" exiting combat: "is someone hurt? can i give you some heal?" "damn... i may have nightmares tonight." "ups... i think i stepped on something and... i don't want to know what it is." "ir abelas..." (she sadly says to the people they have finished killing) "the next fight i'll do better!" death: "i will finally join my loved ones..." "m-mother? is that you...?" "dying like this is... pathetic" (if high or neutral approval) "i wish you well, inquisitor" (if low approval) "i guess i won't see your dawnfall... pity"
