You're a heatheeeen.

I mean I know a lot of people RPed as atheistic or agnostic elves and that's awesome! I support whatever you want to do and I'm even about elaborate headcanons like if you wanted to just say "nah she's a city elf screw that" I'm like nods nods. But the game was designed so you were playing a Dalish elf (and presumably a very serious one, esp if you're playing Mage, since they're apprentice to the keeper and whatnot) so that's the character they generally wanted you to go in playing. So why does that character encounter constant pushback and trivialization of their beliefs, when a rah rah Andrastrianism Trevelyan just gets everyone kissing their ass and nodding? (I really wish Andrastrian characters had been given more conflict and pushback and reasons to doubt etc)

I like your post, but I do have to take issue here. It's possible to be the best mage in the clan and get to be keeper's first, but still be harbouring doubts about your religion before finding out the crap that hits you as DAI progresses, which just makes it worse. A keeper's first is likely to be intelligent and inquisitive, why not doubtful? I don't think that's in any way an elaborate headcanon.

Meeeeeeeaaaattt!!!

[introverted_assassin]

so where exactly in the DA universe does it say the Dark Ritual is akin to or a derivative of blood magic? I'm seriously asking because i didn't read that anywhere. i know Morrigan speaks about old magic in DAO but i don't recall her making the connection to blood magic...or any codex in game for that matter.

well, I won't be eating any delicious ice cream anytime soon.

 

but I am going to be eating this!

When I said elaborate headcanon I meant the "actually a city elf from Rivain" or whatever things people do.

I played a mage Lavellan and she had a lot of doubts and was frankly relieved to leave that role behind,but she was never allowed to talk about those and she didn't have anyone to relate to about them because no one took the Dalish seriously, which is what I meant there! Presumably if you have doubts it's something you're serious about. Does that make sense?

it comes up during the convo bout it if you asks questions. Its not really outright stated just implied. So it comes from that that the morri= BM theories arise

Only Dazzle could take meat and turn it into a centrepiece.

She specifically says "some might call it blood magic" when you ask her about the nature of the dark ritual. I know because I was wondering myself and checked on YouTube.

Pizza hut's chocolate dunkers. They are wickedly delicious. I limit myself of eating them once a month.

[The Loyal Nub]

Ewwww. Peanutbutter doesn't belong with anything but bread. 

 

Mmm no it belongs with choccy. Reese's Cups...the above...Carvel Chocolate and Peanut Butter sundaes...oh heaven! Sex in a bowl!

[lady_v23]

some sort of exotic worm? 

[veeia]

lol I honestly don't even know what blood magic is tbh.

like its used to describe any magic use that uses blood as a power but also seems to have specific spells that can only be blood magic (so has to use blood as fuel? Or is it only the blood mages do those spells?)

honestly I gave up trying to understand lyrium/blood magic awhile ago because it just makes my head hurt

Sure, but by the stage of Sera's big ultimatum, my mage was more than pissed off enough with the Elven "gods" to let it slide.

Either an onion cap or a portabello mushroom.

You can ask Morrigan, and she'll say it's not that far off.

This, pretty much.

[introverted_assassin]

so she alludes to it...trying to help the warden understand within the context of the conversation...which i now remember. that's not enough for me to go on. that's...reaching to ME. i stress the 'me' part.

*edit* i talked to Morrigan extensively in every playthrough of DAO. I just had no idea that this was what y'all were basing that on.
