its time for some video game Grey Morality! so we’ve got an oppressed minority here who are being enslaved and murdered, do you want to join them and help fight for their freedom, or side with the oppressors to eradicate them completely? but wait!! before you make your decision, get this - and this is where it gets really grey - some of the minority aren’t very nice to you

When I say that I wish Morrigan was a lesbian, I don’t just mean that I wish she was romanceable by a female warden (GOD. I absolutely do tho). That's half, but the other half of that is that she feels like the perfect opportunity for a story about compulsory heterosexuality, and that's just as important to it.
She talks a lot about how she was sheltered and has little to no firsthand experience of the world. She knows only what she’s seen and what Flemeth has told her, but part of her journey centers around realizing that Flemeth is not always right, and that there's more to life that her mother could never have told her about. (The grimoire, sure, Flemeth would never have shared with her. But what really stands out to me is that when you gain her friendship, it's something she never anticipated. Because Flemeth taught her there was no point in that kind of relationship, and she believed it unquestioningly.)
Morrigan is no stranger to sexuality (because, well, she says that she's seen her mother bring men home), but it stands to reason that she has very little idea of how it relates to herself. If she has any experience at all up to this point, it's in a similar fashion: seducing people for her own benefit, ie intentionally manipulating them, generally so she can save her own skin (and thanks to the fact that the devs forgot to put female templars in the first game :) it’s implied that these have to have been men)
(And with a male warden who tries to romance her, she says that initially she was planning on doing the same to him: she strung him along because it served her goals, and she wasn’t expecting to actually develop feelings for him in return. She wants to create an old god baby, and she needs him to be the sperm donor. That's it.)
She knows only what she's seen from her mother (or what she can reasonably deduce by herself. She knows how babies are made). She thinks things like love and romance are foolish, and Not For People Like Her, so it makes perfect sense that, in her mind, having sex with men would be one of those things that you're just supposed to do. Even if you get no pleasure from it. Even if it disgusts you. Because you should feel nothing for the other person—otherwise, you're weak and naive.
But I'm enamored with the idea of Morrigan who still doesn’t have experience with friendship or love, who plans on seducing the male warden (which, in this situation, would be Alistair, until she realizes he’s too infuriating lol) because she has the same endgoal. But in the meantime, she makes her first real friend in a female warden, and doesn’t know how to explain things because she doesn’t have any frame of reference for what platonic friendship is supposed to feel like, but surely this can’t be right.
Just like in her romance as it’s currently written, she doesn’t know how to handle serious feelings, and she definitely wouldn’t know how to handle romantic or sexual feelings for someone who isn’t a man. That isn’t one of the things she knew could happen. It's unique because in this case, it's not comp het from society, because she doesn't participate in one. It doesn't stem from any kind of malice or ingrained bias.
It's the blind spot you don't even realize you have, in the same way that she has no reason to know what a flamingo is because she grew up in a bog. It's just the result of being sheltered.

My embroidery of the Sera character card from Dragon Age Inquisition is now complete!
75 hours of work, 11.5x19.5 cm
-
[Image description: An embroidered version of the Sera character selection card from Dragon Age Inquisition. She stands atop a slanted tree trunk with her bow held suggestively between her legs, looking at the Skyhold tower in the distance, where the tiny figure of the inquisitor is present in the window. Mountains and turrets make up the background behind her.]

Okay, so I really struggled to word this one, and please do elabtorate in the tags, but I'm really interested in people's approach to this. To give examples of each option:
you just play the game and the character exists as they do on screen
you develop a backstory, for example what the Trevelyan family is like, how many siblings the inquisitor has, a parent dying when they were young, but none of it changes what happens on screen much beyond guiding your decisions in game
You develop whole stories based around your pcs, with extra scenes to flesh out the game, and detailed backstories - but none of this ever contradicts whats happening on screen it just adds to it (very similar to 2, but slightly different)
You might have a few bits which contradict in game lore but its mostly the same and very little has to be changed e.g. my Cousland knew Anora when they were young kids
As mentioned above, this is like having a posssed Hawke or a tranquil inquisitor - it majorly changes bits of the story that you have to rework with your pc but for the most part the story stays the same
this is for the girlies who completely change things e.g. my Hawke saved both Bethany and Carver, was possessed by a spirit of anger, resurrected their mother, saved Orsino and married Aveline.

People hating Bianca cause she's in a relationship with Varric is just another example of how this fandom treats female characters.
Before I played Dai, I always thought that people hated her so much cause she did some awful thing during the game, but they really just hate her cause she got with Varric lol. And its a relationship they both agreed to be in.
Bianca has such an amazing list of achievements and things she has done and people just reduce her to "Varric's toxic gf" and hate her for it.
Some of the inventions Bianca has made:
And she also designed Varric's crossbow and is one of the people that knows the most about red lyrium.
"I hate her cause Varric deserves better and I wanted to romance him" they said as they put their clown makeup on.
It's a toxic relationship for the both of them. She's not forcing Varric to be with her. He's a grown man who's making the decision to continue their unhealthy on and off relationship, so putting all the blame on her for this is absurd. People blaming her for "stringing Varric along" as she wasn't forced into a marriage by her family.
And people getting offended over the "Feed you your eyeballs" need to get over themselves. She cares for Varric and is telling the Inky to look after him. Is it rude? Sure, but not every character has to be likeable or nice to the pc. Not everyone needs to worship the ground the pc walks on.
And while she was responsible for leaking the red lyrium to Corypheus (unwillingly), the biggest reason why the fandom dislikes her "for making Varric unhappy :( Will no one think of the poor male character?" even though she has more than once put herself at risk to help Varric.
It's just another example of a female character with her own goals and motivations who doesn't worship the pc, and cause "she made Varric sad" that makes her evil incarnate to most of the fandom.
#i really need to find a way to read the books and comics for more context#but i never really thought bianca was that bad?#i also kind of assumed she did something fucked up in extra source material

it's sad how little aeducan/gorim got in terms of screentime but i understand why they had to nerf it somehow. like oooooooooh my god the forbidden love between the king's favorite child and their trusted bodyguard? and it'll always end in heartbreak? i just know they would have taken early 2010 youtube by storm with multiple amvs set to carnival of rust
