15. Out of the followers/companions, who are they most comfortable around?
That would definitely be Dorian and Varric. She and Dorian create their own kind of “we have shitty family so let’s be each other’s shitty family instead” unit. And for some reason, they just kind of get each other. He becomes her brother. With Varric, he becomes part of her family too. His support and care for her surprises her, but she eventually lets it in. The teasing is odd to her at first, but she quickly warms to it.
She’s pretty comfortable with Cassandra too after a while. They both have passionate, loving hearts under everything.
18. Do they enjoy Wicked Grace, or don’t they?
Pffft, you think this girl can’t kick your ass at Wicked Grace? Because she can and will enjoy it the entire time. And now that she can play for fun and not risk, you know, losing a finger or her life, she loves it even more.
34. How do they cope with the stress of being Inquisitor?
Sidni does pretty well at first. I feel like I say this a lot, but it’s a matter of survival. In the beginning, she’s doing what she has to so these people won’t hurt her or whatever it is they plan to do. Her first stress is when they look to her for major decisions. Especially because she doesn’t know them intimately and can’t anticipate what they want. If she can’t anticipate, she can’t react accordingly, and that will mean pain. In her mind. It takes her a while to trust that doing as she wants will be okay.
Coming face to face with Corypheus at Haven is what throws her. She realizes she just might care for these people and she just might be responsible for them (again, in her own mind). And she chooses to fully commit to this Inquisition and the people she’s starting to think of as maybe friends. That’s where her stress comes in. She finds that not being cut off from people/emotions invites uncertainty and almost panic. And she doesn’t know how to handle it. There’s a lot of charging into dangerous things alone to protect others, constant worry about how she’s treating her friends and Cullen, and wondering if what she’s doing is actually helping. But she doesn’t let it affect her fighting or missions. Cullen recognizes her withdrawn and hiding out episodes as her trying to process everything and figure out what the hell these feelings are. And he steps up to help her, even before they’re together.
Not really, but whatever comes will come. I’m letting myself have today to be depressed and then I’ll just keep marching on tomorrow with my head held high. Thank you, lovely anon. I wish I knew who you were so I could smother you with hugs. ❤
I’m okay, thank you. It’s just kind of a straw that broke the camel’s back sort of situation? With like…everything. But I’ll make it through. I always do. Thank you! ❤
GHFJDJDHDJFJ I love them. Sidni would definitely lay there and just let it happen. (She’s very used to sleep deprivation, my poor bb. Her bastard of a father.) The image of them arguing and everyone is like “maker’s breath shut up and decide oh too late the sun is up.”
(I’m going to beat the shit out of her dad, just WATCH ME)
Just the two of them stubbornly sitting across from each other and Josie’s like “it’s been five days can you please just stop this and go to bed you look terrible”
and Eurydice and Sidni are just like
they’re never going to sleep, never, sleep is for the weak and they are STRONG
This is one of those things I suddenly have the urge to write, but feel I would ruin. But still…I need it. This is too perfect.
Bakes, I can promise you that no matter what you wrote I would absolutely love it because I love everything you write and I love Sidni and THEM
Be prepared if I pop up in your messages tomorrow to bug you about Eurydice!!
(Also, your faith in my writing makes me want to cry.)
