#elspeth and anora being the BEST of friends growing up. each one spending months at highever or gwaren respectively

[rosykims]

honestly im so glad bioware nerfed the cousland origin by not making them as socially & politically powerful as they technically ought to be. bc i think if i had to confront the whole cousland/mac tir situation in canon as opposed to just my own unsalvageable deep fried thoughts i think i would contract some sort of brain eating bacterial infection and die :/

#tay plays dao #oc: elspeth #of COURSE elspeth Knows these people! ofc she knows eamon !and teagan ! she and cailan were friends and maric held her as a baby !!!!!!! #and of COURSE. of COURSE she knows the mac tirs. the only other teyrnir family. inherent allies AND rivals to the kings favor. ok. okokokok #but thinking abt the post occupation solidarity between all of ferelden. bryce and loghain letting their daughters be friends #elspeth and anora being the BEST of friends growing up. each one spending months at highever or gwaren respectively #god. thinking about loghain as a godfather figure to elspeth makes me insane. thinking of anora being a sister to elspeth makes me insaner #the girls later growing up and recognising that the kingdom was beginning to set the two of them up against one another as they + cailan #came of age. realizing one of them would likely be chosen as queen and the other would Not. #and its not so much the jealous/competitiveness that drove them apart but the fear that the other one thought less of them for it #idk. idk idk idk. #i just love making things complicated. i love the idea that when alistair kills loghain its like... 1) elspeth is horrified bc he was at on #point like family to her. #and then 2) grateful ! bc what sort of family would do all of this to her !!!!!!!!! #and then his death also being the final nail in the coffin for anora and elspeth's friendship. H. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #I CANT. I CANT EVEN THINK OF THIS IM GOING TO GO SOAK MY HEAD OR WHATEVER COUSLAND SAYS TO DAIRREN IDEK.
