"Doomed by the narrative" is sexy and all but i think the narrative wanting to save a character who is utterly set on dooming themselves isnt as much of a thing and it's so good as a concept
Stanford Pines as a mage from Dragon Age! Part of my Veil Falls AU
Design breakdowns:
Text:
Stanford Pines - Shan'Dirth Aenadahl
Rift mage / Veil Jumper
Shan - old, Dirth - speech/talk, Aenadahl - Pine tree
Design Notes:
Dirthamen Vallaslin: Dalish god of secrets and knowledge
Vallaslin was altered by Bill which was later burned off by Ford
Also a trained artificer
Attire is mainly elven, with Kirkwall design details (see belt buckle/belts)
Staff is not his original, rather made while he was stuck in the Fade
left eye is green/yellow due to Bill's possession
Missed literally everything that has happened in the first two games
Journal 3
Triangles represent Bill and the Veil/Fade similar to the murals
Notes on Elven murals across Thedas
Veil mural markings
yellow blooms

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
