THE ONRYO
CHAPTER 2
(Hanzo Onryo x You Fem!Reader)
Tumblr media
*still on the cave*
Onryo- *watching you picking up your things all by yourself* …do you know where we are going, girl?
You- First, I have a name…! *put the backpack* Second, we need to find information about the flower's location.
Onryo- *chuckles* You come back here when you have the flower…*sit and rest his back in the cave wall* I'll be here.
You- The deal is you coming with me! Get up, lazy!
Onryo- *growls and the dragons get close to you making you regret what you just said* You're gonna make me walk through this land facing everyone! *stands up* Look at me! *His voice raises with a strong growl in the back* I'm a monster! 
You- You should have thought about that before accepting the deal…*shaking and he stood face to face with you* Am I wrong, demon? 
Onryo- *growls* First! I have a name too! 
You- Offended with the nickname? If you stop killing everyone, maybe they will see you as only a creature! 
Onryo- Do you know how many people want me dead?! 
You- Yes! I do! Cause they want me dead too! 
*The Onryo felt surprised and step back*
Onryo- … I can smell and taste the blood in your words…*he look at you up and down* What have you done, girl? 
You- *you frowned* I…*sighs* I've done something, all right? I don't know what, I can't remember.
Onryo- *he feels a little uncomfortable* Yeah? Whatever. Where are we going?
You- Anywhere with people… Maybe a tavern. 
Onryo- *growls in disgusting* And smell all that alcohol?! 
You- *confused* What? Oh… your nose is sensitive? 
Onryo- Of course! I'm a creature! *walk passing you going out of the cave and look up* Hm… I thought it would be night time.
You- You wanna wait? We can wait… *you put the backpack in the ground* It would be better anyway. 
Onryo- *sighs coming back to the cave* Dammit… *sighs* 
You- Where are they? 
Onryo- …who?
You- Your pets. The dragons. 
Onryo- They're not "pets"! They're spirits, like me. 
You- Spirits walking with a spirit? For what?
Onryo- They've been with me since I was born… *sit beside your backpack open up* 
You- Guardians? 
Onryo- Yes…*pick up the book open up on his page* What the fuck…?! 
You- What?
Onryo- Why they draw me so…! Demonic?!  
You- Cause that's the way they see you… duh?
Onryo- *face you seriously* You didn't say that…
You- What? 
Onryo- That last annoying thing…
You- Duh?
Onryo- Yes! *point to you* If you say that one more time! 
You- All right…*laughs* Duh.
Onryo- GRR!! *Growls and he heard something outside* Shut it!
You- What?
Onryo- Silence! *he put the book back in you backpack and stand up*
You- What is it…?! 
Onryo- *slowly walk to the entry heading footsteps* Someone is coming. 
??- I swear! I heard like three times a huge demonic growl, dad! 
*The onryo makes a blue dark smoke come out of his hands and a bow with a arrow appears, he growl starting to aim*
You- No…! *you run to him pulling down the gun* What are you doing?! *you whispers*
Onryo- Protecting!
You- Not from a kid! *you him pull deeper to the cave* 
Onryo- You told me to protect! *turns to you annoyed*
You- Is only a kid! Stop it!
??- Come on, dad! Let's go! 
??- I…I don't know, Matt, it may be a bear or something worse. Your mother is waiting, let's go. 
Onryo- *look at you and sighs, he face the entry again and one of his dragons appears behind him* Do the roar.
*The dragon makes a huge roar from the cave and immediately scares the kid and his father that ran away. The Onryo found you covering your ears with your eyes closed*
Onryo- Hm… *walk away while the dragon vanish literally being absorbed by the demons body* 
*You open your eyes and watch the Onryo sit down and again you could see again a huge amount of dark blue cloud getting out of his hands, what became bow and a quiver with a lot of arrows, he pick one checking it* 
You-... *sighs* You’re a…archer? 
Onryo- Not anymore…
You- But… you still have a bow and arrow. You’re an archer.
Onryo- I’m a monster and I’m known for killing people with this. I'm no honored archer. 
*you could hear sadness in his voice. You walk to him and sit down a little far from him, still scared* 
You- You…regret? 
Onryo- *He stops and look forward*...
You- Do you regret your life decisions? 
Onryo- I didn’t choose this life. I was cursed. 
You- So, you regret? 
Onryo- I…! *growls and look at you* Why do you ask so many stupid questions?!
You- *sighs annoyed* Stupid… 
Onryo- *sighs also annoyed and go back to his arrow*... 
You-... *notice the among of details made by hand on the bow* Did you make that bow?
Onryo- *take a deep breath and close his eyes* Yes! Arrow and bow! Be quiet, human. 
You- You fuckin’ jerk… *whispers to yourself, but he immediately look at you* What?
Onryo- I can hear your whispers…! 
You- Oh yeah? Great! *stands up sitting more far away* I’m starting to regret helping you! 
Onryo- Great! I can go back to my house! 
You- You don’t have a house, demon! 
Onryo- The world is my roof! Different from you! That needs to have a little stupid house to be protected! 
You- I’m sure you wish to have a real roof too! 
*Both went quiet for a long time and you fell asleep, when you woke up, a hour later, saw the Onryo standing on the entry looking outside* 
You-... *sits* Is night time?
Onryo- Almost … we must go.
*You pick up your stuffs and leave with the demon in front of you in the middle of the woods* 
You- I should go in front….
Onryo- Why?
You- I know the way to the tavern.
Onryo- *sighs and turn around facing you* You trust a demon behind you?
You- We have a deal *you frowned* 
Onryo- *look away and sighs again going behind you* Fine…! Go ahead.
You- I just need to help him and give the credits to my uncle.. if I don’t call any attention to me, of course. I keep asking myself, why is he so cool with me helping him? He is known for killing so many innocents in a blink of an eye! When he spoke about being a disgraced archer, he sounded so…sad. Why? Is he really what the book says? Of course he tried to kill me and he scared me a LOT, but… he didn’t actually hurt me physically. He threatened me, of course, but… that’s it. And, he looked so offended by being drawn like a demonic thing… weird, are those stories right about him?
Onryo- Stop *both immediately stops*
You- What…? 
Onryo- I'm hearing something…*silence* You're wanted, right?
You- Yes…?
*The Onryo hold your hand pulling you and running away, but he was too fast*
You- WHAT THE HELL?! WAIT! *He picked you up like  bride* The fu-?! *Notice he was running to a edge of a mountain* Hey…hey hey hey HEY!! DON'T YOU DARE TO JUM-!
Onryo- Don't scream!
*he jumps and you put the hands in your mouth not screaming. The demon landed safely with you that couldn't even open your eyes*
Onryo- *sighs and let you fall from his arms* … Now you can walk.
You- You…!! Ouch! *you stands up* Now we're more far away from…! *you felt dizzy* Ow…
Onryo- What? 
You- I think I'm…! *you turn around vomiting*
Onryo- *roll his eyes* Wasn't even that high…*look up and chuckles* Too radical for you?
You- Shut! Up…! *cough and take a deep breath pointing to a direction* Go.
Onryo- *he sighs while watching passing through him* You look sick, human.
You- I'm fine…! And it's your fault! 
Onryo- *laughs* The guards were coming in our direction, guess why? 
You- … The roar? 
Onryo- The damn roar *chuckles* 
You- *sighs* All right…thanks. 
Onryo- *smirk* Shut up… 
You- Try me, bitch…*roll eyes and yawn* 
Onryo- *deep breath* Tell me where the damn place is and I will take you!
You- I'm fine! 
Onryo- Right, you're yawning and you just vomit. You're not alright!
You- Can you stop trying to be nice?
Onryo- *snort* I'm nice! If you believe the stories, you should be already dead! 
You- You suffocate me!
Onryo- But I didn't kill you!
You- You could!
Onryo- And you could kill me too! 
You- I…! *turn to him and snore* Fine! You're right! *starts to walk again*
Onryo- You think I trust you humans? Of course I had to do it! You could just try to…I don't know! Shoot my heart or whatever! 
You- Right! I got it! Can you stop crying no- *close your eyes* Ow…
Onryo- What? You’re going to vomit again?
You- No, but my blood pressure is not…good *lose balance* 
Onryo- Listen to me next time *get in front of you turns, pull your arms over his shoulders crossing then and holding your legs* Done. What direction?
You- *hold on tight and almost fainting* I think…Southwest…
Onryo- You think? *sighs starting walking* Sleep, girl… i don’t why you’re so exhausted, but…try to sleep.
You- Why do you care…?
Onryo- I once was a human too.
*You fall asleep on his back and in a few hours, Onryo could see a small dark village from far, the first think he could smell is the alcohol*
Onryo- *disgusted* Taverns…! Hey, girl, wake up, I think this is it.
You- Hm… *not waking up*
Onryo- *deep breath* Right…
*He walked to a big door to enter the village, it was surrounded by walls. He knocked with his feet and a window open up spotting a small person…not a kid* 
Onryo- *confused* A…dwarf?
Dwarf- Shut it, what the hell are you, man? 
Onryo- *more confused* Not your business, I need a bed for my…friend here.
Dwarf- *Take a better look and smile* Oooh a sleeping girl? *chuckles* Come in! Come in~ 
*The dwarf close the window open up the door and the Onryo walks in* 
Onryo- Where is the place? She needs to rest. 
Dwarf- If you want to put her in my house…is very comfy *laughs checking on you* She's so pretty! Can I touch her? *ready to grab your tight and he could only see a dragon getting closer to his face, he looked scared and shaking* Wh-wha-what the…?! 
Onryo- *smirk* Good boy, Tooth. I'll find a place by myself. 
*The Onryo starting to walk through the village calling everyone's attention, but he doesn't really care, was to busy tracking the alcohol smell*
Onryo- *get close to a place feeling more disgusted* Argh…! Is here… dammit.
*Entering the tavern it was full of people and different creatures, everyone stops and face him* 
-What the hell is that? Is that a demon? Nice color. Is that a girl on his back? Maybe he's a bounty hunter *they speak between them* 
?- Hey, blue thing…*in the balcony, he could see a huge and tall man, couldn't be only human, he had a mechanic arm and half of his face was mechanical too* Need something, fella? *he had a Scottish accent*
Onryo- *confused asf* Aaah…I…I just need a room for my friend.
?- Friend?! *laughs and the whole tavern also laugh* Look at you, mate! You're a demonic creature, how's that little girl a friend?! 
Onryo- Can I just have a room, please?! *growls*
Tavern- Oooh *laughs*
?- He's a creature, definitely a rare creature *laughs* Well! Come closer, mate! Drink something and we can put your little friend to sleep! 
Onryo- I don't drink this horrible stuff you call "alcohol", thank you very much… *taking small steps to the bar counter* Where's the room, "mate"? 
?- *chuckles* You're a trouble one, aren't ya? Go to the stairs, all the doors are rooms…*take a key from behind the balcony putting in his horn* Happy sleep, mate *the whole tavern chuckles*
Onryo- *growls feeling embarrassed and turns going up the stairs*
*while everyone watching him go, one of the dragons appears grabbing the key on his horn* 
-Yo! Is that a dragon?! What the hell?! It came up from his body! What is this thing?! Is a demon! 
*at the corridors, he sighs by seeing so many doors and more people walking by…of course, everyone stares him*
Onryo- *deep breath and starts to walk to the room number* …Damn creatures…! What is wrong with this place?! No one knows me! No one fears me! What is wrong with this place?! 
*feeling uncomfortable with all the staring, he walk fast to the room and lock himself and you inside*
Onryo- Fucking hell… *through the key in a table and put you in the bed* Finally… *sit down beside you* You sleep heavily, don't you? *you don't move* Girl? *Touch your face* Jezz…you're burning…*take a deep breath moving his hand to his face feeling tired* I'm a babysitter…god dammit *look at you again a gave a little slap in your cheek* Hey, wake up, you're sick…*no responding* I'm not joking, woman! *stands up* I'm gonna roar! In 3, 2…? *His dragons went close to you examining* What? Something is wrong? 
*The female dragon, Claw, look at the Onryo making a sad and worried noise. Tooth, the male one, was picking your cheek with his nose trying to wake you up*
Onryo- Ah…She fainted? *Claw agreed* Why?! How? When?! *He kneels in the bed picking you up on his lap putting his ear close to your face* She's breathing normally… *Claw do a little growl to him annoyed* How am I supposed to know that?! I didn't do that! Right, look! Don't be angry at me, it may be something else *Lay you down again and sighs* Let her rest…she'll wake up again. She has to.
*Claw and Tooth make little crying noises*
Onryo- You guys liked her, huh? *smirk* Why? 
*Claw do a little grunt* 
Onryo- She's pure? Mm… Well, you guys are the spirits, I believe that you can see someone else's spirit *Tooth agreed* Right… I should've known that. Purity…*look at you* Why does she want to help us anyway?
Claw- *grunts* 
Onryo- I don't doubt that she has a secret… is something more. Daughter of witches, she knows a lot about creatures like me. 
Tooth- *grunt in confuse*
Onryo- You're right, she's a mysterious woman. More mysterious than myself. I mean, she doesn't look at me as an Onryo… She doesn't really fear us. 
Claw- *cute grunts and rubs around him* 
Onryo- Wha-?! I-! You females always have the most preposterous thoughts! *blush* The-! There's no such thing as "Onryo's bride"! Or…! Soulmates! Whatever! 
Tooth- *grunts*
Onryo- I'm not blushing! You two are making me nervous! I just met her! 
Claw- *roll eyes and grunts boringly* 
Onryo- Not good with women?! You little…! 
You- *move and moan*
Onryo- Ah…? Girl? *poke your leg* Are you aaw-!?!! *A kick hit his face making him fall of the bed* OUCH! FUCK! 
You- Oh my goodness! *sit on the bed* I'm so sorry! I'm so so so sorry! 
Onryo- You have a…good kick! Ow! *stands up* God dammit! Why?! 
You- I was having a nightmare and I felt something touching me! I got scared! 
Onryo- Wait… you were sleeping?! 
You- …*looking away* Yeah? 
Onryo- You sleep like a rock! I thought you were fainted! 
You- Well… I don't know…I'm not really well *He holds your face and you look confused* What…?
Onryo- You got a fever… you fainted the whole ride. 
You- *looking around* Oh, here we are! *stands up but he immediately pull you back to bed* …?! What? 
Onryo- You're sick.
You- I'm fine, we need the information…! *tries to move but felt something wrapping you up* Ah?! Hey! *the dragons grunts begging you* What?
Onryo- See? They don't want you to move too… now…Stay! I'll get the information *walk to the door*
You- No! Wait! I need to go with you! ONRYO! *he closes the door

How do you think each of the Links die?
Hmmm....
Good question!
Let me start at the top and work my way down, yes?
Sky
Two ideas here for this one
Sky dies peacefully at home. Zelda outlives him by a few years so she's there at his side when he passes. It's been a long life and one full of adventures they've shared. He's old, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren are helping build up Hyrule. He's at peace, ready to go on to whatever Hylian's believe comes after death.
Sky doesn't die. The settling of the surface is a torrid affair and Demise's forces still haunt the land of Hyrule. One monster in particular threatens the villages and settlements and Sky undergoes a second quest to gain the power to defeat it. He accomplishes this, but in order to defeat the monster he must achieve a power beyond Hylians, and loses himself somewhat to it. he becomes the Fierce Deity and is sealed away by the Sheikah.
Four
This is sort of canon.
Four doesn't die. After the events of LU, Four returns to their Hyrule and lives a peaceful life with minimal excitement and chaos (just enough to keep things interesting but not enough to make history). They get bored of the peace and start trying to keep themselves busy with things outside of adventuring and smithy work, leading to them doing more and more research about the Shadow World. An experiment gone wrong (either to resurrect Shadow or just to try something new) results in their corruption and Dot is forced to seal them into the Palace of the Four Sword, where they remain. In the Adult Timeline they drown when the world is flooded. In the Child Timeline they go on forgotten and undying. In the Downfall Timeline they are found by a child with pink hair and a too big sword.
I like to say Legend will one day rescue them and they will live out the rest of their days in peace, but that's just me :)
Time
We all know Ganon killed him in the Downfall Timeline, so that counts for something
In the Child Timeline, Time will return from LU and he and Malon will live in peace for some time, having children and tending their farm. Eventually however, Hyrule will go to war again, and Lullaby will call upon the Hero to save Hyrule in it's time of need. Time will protect the land, but becomes gravely injured. He never makes it back home, but instead succumbs to his injuries in the Lost Woods. He swears the last thing he sees is Saria, and his heart is full of regret that he didn't make it back home in time to see some important event in one of his childrens' lives (say, his eldest daughter's wedding when he promised to walk her down the isle).
Twilight
He lives out his years looking out for the common people of Hyrule and it's provinces. He's a beloved hero to all and at peace with life. When he dies, it's as an old wolf wandering the country alone. An unfortunate young archer looses a wild arrow into the woods and the Hero is gone in an instant.
The people of Hyrule never know what happened to their hero and they all assume he just disappeared one day.
Legend
Despite everything, Legend lives to old age and is able to help Hyrule recover and enter it's Golden Era. According to canon it is likely that he settles down with some person or another, since Hyrule is his descendant, but I won't say who it is. I'd like to say Legend passes peacefully but I doubt it. It's likely that in his age he succumbs to an illness and is still fighting in his last days. He dies in a peaceful Hyrule built up but with the knowledge that it will crumble after his death to become the world he'd seen while traveling. I'd like to say he makes preparations for when Ganon returns, looking out for the heroes to follow, and along that road is when he falls ill. He returns to his home to recover, intending to place the Master Sword where Hyrule can find it, but dies before he can. The sword is buried with him, never to be found by the hero to follow.
To make up for not being able to finish his final task, Legend's spirit remains in Hyrule until he meets the next hero. He can't give the boy the Master Sword, because it's been buried, but he does make sure to arm the young hero before he passes, thus fulfilling his final quest.
Hyrule
Two theories for this one as well
Hyrule suceeds the throne of Hyrule (it's said that the one who wields the full Triforce will be the next king) and rules the land faithfully with the help of his Zeldas. He does what he can to restore the kingdom like his ancestor before him and rebuilds the world into something closer to what we're all used to seeing of Hyrule. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that Hyrule dies before he reaches old age, likely in a fight with monsters seeking his blood to resurrect Ganon. The monsters use his blood to bring back not just Ganon, but the Calamity himself, and the night of the Blood Moon stands as a reminder of the hero's death, named for the blood spilled to bring back the demon.
Alternatively, maybe Hyrule dies from an illness or injury back at the castle and safe from Ganon's followers. I doubt it unfortunately.
Wind
Two takes on this again
He's a bit young so it's weird to think about how he dies, but I think it's likely that Hyrule doesn't know itself. After founding the kingdom again on new land, he and Tetra build it up as best they can. When they get on in age though, Tetra releases the kingdom to the hands of her daughter and she and Wind go out sailing again. No one knows what becomes of them, but their are legends around the islands of their deeds that assure those left in Hyrule that however they died, they did it while chasing adventure on the sea they love so dear.
Alternatively, Wind lives on long enough to see the adventures of Spirit Tracks (because Niko, his friend from a child is an old man in that game so I refuse to believe Wind is ST Link). He stays out of it, mostly because he trusts this new hero to complete his task, child or no, and maybe he seeks out ST Link later once it's all over and they can bond. In this scenario, he probably dies of old age, living in peace and offering advice and stories to the people of Hyrule. ST Link is with him in his final moments and he's laid to rest by the sea.
Warriors
Two theories
Warriors is, in my hc, the Hylian God of War, so by definition, he would be unkillable and kind of unable to die. What happens to him? I don't know, but I do know that I have a certain headcanon involving dragons where he might become one of those after long enough
He's the Hero of the first Calamity. When Ganon was resurrected in Hyrule's world, the remerging of the timelines by Cia brought the Calamity to Hyrule and Warriors was the one to face it. Unfortunately, the only way to truly defeat the Calamity was to seal away Ganon beneath the castle of Hyrule, and someone had to be there to make sure he stayed while the seal was cast. As suggested by one of my lovely Anons, Warriors was the hero to stay behind and seal Ganon, and his is the hand we see keeping the Gerudo King down in the BotW 2 trailer.
Wild
Heck if I know honestly, can this kid even die still?

height: 5'5
hometown: malibu, california
role: scout
sexuality: bisexual
star chart: scorpio sun, taurus moon, leo rising, sagittarius venus

HISTORY.
tw death, minimal gore, alcohol
the outbreak started when she was 16, never a chance for her to even experiment with what felt like new-found womanhood, no longer just a kid. she'd give anything now to still be that kid, instead of so violently forced into becoming a survivor.
she lost her youngest sister just when she thought she was succeeding in keeping her safe from everything. it was just them left, their parents gone years before so early into the outbreak. jess and her sister grace floated around groups, trying their best to stay in numbers if they had any chance of surviving and doing what they needed to do to stay safe.
they saw almost every group crumble, always human error, always greed. if there wasn't some betrayal or bid for power that caused its ruin, jess would take grace in the night and sneak away instead, convinced she got a bad feeling about the people they were entrusting their lives with. she doesn't think the outbreak changed people, just allowed them the freedom to be who they've always been. 
when it was just them on their own, the rain forcing them to find shelter, they'd broken into a drugstore to try and find something useful. it hadn't been looted yet, so the pair were in high spirits. before they knew it, their exit was blocked, and any other attempt to find one was met with the same fate. eventually jess found a broken sky light and started to climb through, her hand extended to pull up her sister. next thing she knew, the infected were just beneath grace, swiping at the younger girl. jessica couldn't hold on or pull her up no matter how hard she tried, the rain was coming down hard and she just kept slipping. it went too quick, jess didn't have a chance to react as their hands finally broke free. jess swiped one final try to catch her sister, but only tore away her necklace instead. jess stayed sobbing on the rooftop for a while after grace's screams finally quietened. she had her sister's skin beneath her nails from holding on so tightly,  tighter each time she felt her slipping. she still gets nightmares of that slipping sensation,  her being so close but just a smidge out of reach, with her sister’s screams echoing over and over. after that, she lost her way.
she acted riskier, careless in her attempt at survival. she just didn't know what exactly she was doing anymore, who she was fighting for or why she was still alive. it was in her lowest moments she found someone who looked just as beat up as her, low on everything, and not sure where to go; the injured william barlowe. it was her fault he fell, spooking him by accident when investigating what all the noise was... still, she wasn't sure if she should've helped, her own needs were desperate and he was a stranger, but ultimately jessica stayed with him and fixed him up. she didn't fully trust him at first but eventually she could tell that they were the same, and he looked out for her, too.
now at boulder, jess finds herself on the outside more than others. being a scout suits her for so many reasons: she likes to be in the know, would rather put herself in danger than anyone else risk it, and if all things go tit’s up, at least she's in top form. she even appreciates the quarantine, a way to debrief and set herself straight without people around her.
PERSONALITY.
she likes her solitude,  likes having as minimal people to worry about as possible. despite this,  jess deeply cares for people, and she doesn't wish harm on anyone— but she will do anything to keep those she cares for safe, and that means anything.
she finds it incredibly hard to trust people fully, even if she really likes you she will always have her guard up and expect the worst. it really does take a lot for her to get to the trust completely point as a lot of people have broken it for her in the past — when she does trust you, she is the most loyal person
can be extremely stubborn, sarcastic and blunt at times, often because she doesn't want to reveal or talk about something but it really depends on the day
a hot-head xxx i feel like she's learnt to just shut up most of the time because she always says something she regrets. very very easy to piss off x
MISC THINGS.
preferred weapon is a bow and arrow or crossbow, likes that it's more or less silent in the grand scheme of things but always has a knife on her too
she's very flexible, nimble, light on her feet and agile from her dancing background and she uses these techniques when scouting, helping her reach tougher spots. if the world ever goes back to normal she'd have a parkour channel for sure
always wears her sister's locket around her neck, it has a photo of jess and grace when they were younger
speaks english, japanese & french fluently
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
if she's not with will then she's definitely with fellow scouts /scavengers /trainers/trainees ! basically at the training yards working out a lot of the time… so sparring or general working out partners would be lovely pls… 
if she's not at the training yard then she's at the bar drinking her sorrows away... drinking buds... yes... maybe instead of talking about their feelings aka being healthy, jess got your muse incredibly drunk
random, stupid hookups, accidental one night stands, when kissing your face was a better alternative to you seeing me cry.... um... she would just like to feel something, but she will refuse to give anyone anything real or emotional, that shit is locked up.. and she's in a little bit in love with will
someone she's potentially clashed with... maybe still does... girly is not smart with her big mouth

I've just finished rewatching all of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal recently, since a friend of mine had never seen it before. And since starting Season 2 I've been curious as to how they'd react to the finale. Since I myself have felt conflicted about it since I first saw it.
For a while, I had been feeling conflicted about the finale myself. I understand that a big theme of the season was touching on Spear's status as a relic of a bygone era. Especially as his quest to rescue Mira seems to lead him further and further away from the Prehistoric world he had lived in his whole life.
But I can't help but feel like that entire message is undercut but the simple fact that... Fang doesn't feel that way. Sure, even if Red was the last of her kind she'll see, she still has a family now. She's found something to fight for besides just survival.
And where does that leave Spear?
Whenever I see people talk about how he can't interact with humans and how he's too primitive, they make it seem like this essential part of him that he can never let go. But I don't believe that.
Before Mira, he really didn't have any other humans to interact with after losing his first family. It was always just him and Fang fighting off all manner of Dinosaurs, Mammoths, Ape-Men, what have you.
So when he was in the company of the Celts, who were all complete strangers to him, it's no wonder he felt like an outsider to them.
But with Mira and her people it would be different. Mira knows him, they've been through some serious shit together. The chance for Spear to find that same happiness that Fang eventually found was there.
And I think a simple change to a scene or two in the finale would have reinforced that.
First off; Mira is there when Spear tells his life story on the walls of his new home. I think it would have complemented the scene before, where it looked like Mira's people were telling their story to Spear with their dance around the fire (even if Spear and thus the audience didn't totally understand it). But it would have been sweet if, after Mira led Spear and Fang to their new home, Mira watched as Spear told HIS story.
Maybe Mira puts the pieces together about some parts of his past, like noticing that Spear lingers a bit at a cave drawing of his family. Showing that even now he still misses them. She might even notice to some extant how he still feels like an outsider, and could help show him that he does have a place now with her and her people.
Basically have them bone the night before the transformed Viking Chieftain arrives lol.
And second; Have Mira's people try to help Spear and Fang in their fight against the Viking Chieftain.
To further cement Mira's people being Spear's new people, show how they have set up defenses since the Vikings last came. Nothing would be enough to put him down themselves, of course. But having archers rain arrows on him, or creating rock slides or pouring water over him, it would help to slow him down and show Spear that he and Fang no longer have to face the world alone.
That's part of why Spear and Fang have both survived for so long. More than anything they could bring to the table individually was their effectiveness as a functioning team. And it'd be a nice way to cap off the series to show that instead of the two of them having to wander from them place to place, the two of them seemingly against the world, they'd instead have finally found a people that would have their backs.
They'd have finally found their home.
With these changes to the finale, you wouldn't need to kill of Spear. But it'd at least feel less jarring than what we got. And it would still be a mystery as to what happened to Kamau and his people, but you could have them reach Mira's tribe to warn them of the Chieftain.
The final shot of Primal I still think is beautiful, but I feel this would have felt like a more satisfying ending. Of two relics of an archaic, prehistoric world finding a place in this new world and carving out a new home.

My Wardens, their Class and Love interests
Tumblr media
Aerin Mahariel, a Dalish elf Aerin tends to be dense. He can be mistaken to lack tact, but it's just mostly him missing social cues since he's a Dalish and not used to civilization. He prefers to deescalate a situation instead of making it worse. But when push comes to shove, he doesn't mind getting dirty. Like Alistair, he doesn't really like to lead. But he doesn't mind going first on the path to check for ambush or traps, if the need arises. He and Leliana are both good at that, so they've gotten closer when working together to protect the others from those kinds of threats. Aerin's the type to do self-reflections a lot, which also makes him overthink more often than not. Although it may mostly due to his instincts, and his gut feeling had saved them more often than not as well when they were traveling. Plus, it also makes him a good strategist when they were all in combat mode against the different enemies trying to kill them on a daily basis. Class: Warrior (Two-handed swords, but also an archer expert) Love interest: Leliana
Kyno Tabris, a City elf While Aerin lacks tact because of unawareness to social cues, Kyno more often than not intends the tactless remarks. Having been fed up with how his kind were treated in the Alienage by humans gave him a sharp tongue and since he could somewhat get away with it now, being a Grey Warden, he didn't have to be too careful with his words. The only one who can rein him over had been Soris, then later Kytes. Despite his default hostility, Kyno can be very friendly and sometimes that friendliness can be mistaken as him being a flirt. However, he's never been keen into having intimate relations with another. Even when he was to be married, his heart hadn't been into it no matter how beautiful his would've-been bride was. Even before that, he wasn't short of people who vied for his attention. As fierce a fighter he was, he was also caring to those he considered family and very good friends of his. Despite not wanting to marry, he had the makings of being a nurturing family man. This is shown because, while he was younger than Aerin and Kytes, he looked out for them whenever they were in a city or village, making sure they wouldn't be taken advantage of. He almost attacked a human who mistook Kytes for an Elven slave, too. Still, no one could get his attention to make him actually want a family of his own. That is, not until he met Zevran. Class: Rogue (Dual weapon wielder) Love interest: Zevran
Kytes Surana, a Magi elf Kytes is only almost as clueless as Aerin is when it comes to blending into civilization. Still, he did live in the circle, with the large percentage of those living with him being humans. Not to mention his missing best friend was a human, so he did know how to interact with humans to a certain extent, considering his timid nature. Since the notion of "Magic exists to serve man and never rule over him." had been drilled into his head since he was young, it made him want to help as many people as he could in this journey. It took Morrigan to make him realize that 'Magic' shouldn't be translated to 'Mages.' That he shouldn't be a slave to doing good deeds. Still, Kytes was still mostly helpful, and this just taught him that he could say 'no' when he didn't want to do something, and he wasn't required to say 'Yes.' like a good servant all the time. That had been his mistake when helping Jowan, after all. Though his tendency to be overly helpful made Kyno a tad overprotective and the city elf had to make sure that he wouldn't be taken advantage of. He took a liking to Alistair because even when the man would've been a Templar in his past life, he didn't treat him with distrust as a default. Plus, he found his jokes amusing. Being him though, he hadn't realized what kind of attraction he had for the Junior warden until Leliana teased him about it once. Class: Mage (Arcane warrior/Spirit healer) Love interest: Alistair
Ryna Cousland, a Human noble While she was the youngest, she was born to lead. Fergus would often say that she should be next in line as Teyrn instead of him with how adept she was in leading. Ryna takes initiative more often than not, but doesn't discourage others from voicing their opinions. She takes them into consideration before making a final call. She was closed friends with a lot of men in her life, like Ser Gilmore, she was never attracted to one. While she thinks Alistair should man up every now and then, she doesn't come down on him so hard for it. That said, she doesn't oppose Morrigan giving the man grief for it either. She wouldn't let anyone else outside their group talk that way about him though. She would every single one of their honor whether or not they minded the slight on them or not. Ryna would go feral every time her elven Warden companions were mistaken as her or Alistair's servants. One of the times Alistair doesn't make light of things with jokes and supported her fully with threatening anyone who would look down on Aerin and the other elves. Class: Warrior (Sword & Shield) Love interest: Morrigan

About Duke Cadash, part 2
okay so I know that this is supposed to be like an ask thing from here! butI only have like 3 followers on here, I just finished my second playthrough of Inquisition and I really really wanna talk about my Inquisitor :’)) so we’re doing this
what is your inquisitor’s name & race? - Duke Cadash, surface dwarf
what is their sexual orientation? - bisexual <3
what do they look like? (add screenshots, drawings, descriptions!) - he's a freckly ginger and has bright blue eyes, a very well groomed beard (he at least tries to redo the braids every morning), undercut on on the left side of his head but otherwise longish hair, scarring underneath his right eye and between his brows; he's like muscular and thick at the same time, I don't know a good word for it? but yea :) he's prettyy
Tumblr media
how did they feel about being called “the herald of andraste”? - he uses it to his advantage. he doesn't outright deny it to people he doesn't really trust, only those closest to him know his real stance on it. he just takes being called the Herald in stride, doesn't hate it but isn't the biggest fan either
what are their religious beliefs, if they have any? - believes in the Stone because his parents had been cast out from Orzammar and they passed on their beliefs to him as well. he's not super into it though, more like a casual believer.
what is their opinion on the mage/templar war? - supports the mages and even though he can get along with templars if necessary, he often calls them out for their prejudices and bullshit. he believes that the war was inevitable and kind of necessary as well because in his eyes big change usually comes by, sadly, using harsher tactics.
who is your inquisitor’s best friend? - he was suuper close with Blackwall in the beginning because their humor was pretty similar, he was one of the first people he recruited on his own, and they're both pretty close in terms of age as well. however, as Duke grew closer to Dorian, they became best friends instead (and then eventually lovers). I'd say his real best friend is either Cassandra or Solas? because even though he disagrees with both of them quite a lot, they still somehow manage to get on pretty well <33 and they both have been there from the very beginning of this entire journey!! so it makes sense :) also, Duke is suuuuuper loyal, so when he found out about Blackwall :)) he fucking flipped and completely shunned him and never again took him into his party.
who is their rival? - uhhh among the companions? I don't think he really has one...
who is their love interest, if they chose one? do you ship them with anyone else/non-romanceable options? - DORIAN!! <333
Tumblr media
warrior, rogue, or mage? - rogue, archer
how do they feel about the dalish? - he feels for them and wants to support them and work together as much as possible. he can see that a lot of them seem arrogant and standoffish on the outside, but he gets why that is, so he just lets them be and tries to work with it.
how do they feel about the qun? - he does not like the qun, to him it seems like a cult. he can also see many similarities between it and the chantry so.
how do they feel about the chantry? - he doesn't like the chantry BUT he does not shun them out loud because he knows that having them support him makes him look good to those who believe in Andraste and such, but also he doesn't wanna take away hope from those who find it in him during such a difficult time (even though he doesn't believe he's chosen in any way)
which demon is most frightening to them? - definitely the nightmare. Duke doesn’t get rattled very easily but that whole thing managed to get underneath his skin. plus! he’s incredibly scared of spiders and the nightmare created to many of them to freak him out, so the entire fade thingy was very hard on my poor Master Cadash :((
did they choose the qun or the chargers in iron bull’s personal quest? why? - the chargers. he didn’t trust the whole thing from the beginning and basically went along with it because he wanted to support the Iron Bull and because he could feel that something fishy was going on. also, even before the whole thing Duke got along with Krem really well, because he has this habit of taking younger people under his wing (exhibit A: Cole) so that’s also what kinda happened with Krem. ALSO! another thing is that Duke id very much against sacrificing lives in order to get something, so even if he hadn’t cared about any of the chargers personally, it would’ve just went against everything he stood for.
when are they the happiest? - when he's exploring the wilderness with his party, probably picking elfroot or iron lol
how do they feel about the mark/the anchor? - it doesn’t really cause him very much pain so he sees it mostly as something  that’s just there and helps him deal with this whole mess.
upon first meeting cole, were they afraid of him? - not really? he could tell that he was different but Thedas is full of so much surreal and nonsensical shit that this kid who acts a bit outside of the established rules of the society didn't really faze him. when he first met Cole during the attack on Haven, his first reaction was that “why is this young kid out here??? get him to safety!!!!” but yknow in a way where he could still see that Cole was perfectly capable of pulling his own weight, Duke just worries.
Tumblr media
did they use the templars or the mages to close the breach? - mages
what was their court approval like at the winter palace? did they have any fun at all? - the only things that Duke liked during the whole charade was seeing Josephine and Leliana enjoying the whole thing AND getting to dance with Dorian. he got 100 court approval but he hated that everybody kept shitting on him for being a dwarf etc. also dealing with Gaspard, Celene, and Breala was frecking frustrating.
someone is encroaching on their love interest. how do they respond? - idk how to answer this. he knows that Dorian can handle himself but if the situation requires his help then he will get supper angry and protective
what is their favourite weapon? - Duke’s Bayard!! :D this really great bow that he got made
are there any creatures in the wild that they refuse to/are reluctant to kill? why? - nugs because to him they look like a rabbit and an old wrinkly man merged into one. so yea, no. he also doesn’t like killing dragons. the only proper dragon he and his party ever killed was the big one in the hinterlands but Duke didn't feel right about it afterwards so he never went after another again
what is their opinion on blood magic? would they ever use it, if given the chance? - to him blood magic is just a type of magic really but I don't think he'd use it if he were able to
what is their favourite place within playable regions? - interestingly, the hinterlands. it's because he grew up in fereldan is used to that kind of nature
did they feel suspicious of dorian upon first meeting him, because of his tevinter heritage? - a bit, yes, but it quickly faded
as a whole, how do they feel about tevinter + the imperium? - he hates the whole slavery business that they've got going on over there but Dorian manages to convince him that the imperium could be changed so he has hope for it. he doesn't blindly hate every vint he meets.
did they encourage cullen to continue taking lyrium, or to stop? for what reasons? - to stop because even though he’s not very close to Cullen and he has his issues with him, he didn't want him to be dependent of lyrium in order to work to the best of his abilities. because Cullen is in charge of such a huge part of the Inquisition, he needs him to be dependable
does it bother them to sleep in tents when on the road with the inquisition? - nope! Duke loves tracking and yknow finding and looking for stuff out in the wilds so he’s used to that sort of thing since he grew up in a naturey place. he had to spend a lot of nights in similar situations while he was part of the Carta too
are they an optimist, a pessimist, or neutral? - i guess something between an optimist and a neutral? I guess you could call him an optimistic realist. he rarely veers towards pessimism
if varric wrote a book about your inquisitor, how would they feel about that? - he would actively encourage it because it would be fucking hilarious to read
do they get along with vivienne? - nope, he doesn’t even recruit her.
are they afraid of anything specifically? - spiders
what was their reaction to the destruction of haven?
how do they feel about “the game”? - a bunch of nugcrap
are they especially protective of certain inquisition members, even those capable of defending themselves? - even though he knows that all three of them can take care of themselves and he trusts them to do so, he still worries about them the most. Cole, Krem , and scout Harding.
do they like their skyhold pajamas? - he hates the pajamas. but the outfits that he usually wears look superrr fly so he doesn’t mind those one bit
are there any insults they find to be especially offensive? (i.e. “knife ear”/”rabbit” for elves, “oxmen” for qunari, ect.) - I am not sure what insults a dwarf would get in terms of specific words. the fact that people keep making comments about the Inquisitor surprisingly being a dwarf does annoy him though
if varric gave them a nickname, what would it be? - either cherry because of his red hair OR the Archduke :P
do they enjoy being the inquisitor? - yes!! at the beginning, he's more wary of it, which of course makes sense, but even then he's just ready to take on the role of the leader because no one else will do it and he does have the mark so it makes sense for him to do it. as time moves on he grows to really like it! he makes a great leader and he knows it.

Do you have any thoughts about the Venatori warrior slaves? They're people but they've been pushed into being something inhuman, and I'm intrigued. Also I love how much you're into the Venatori as a whole. I'd love to hear you talk about them but I don't quite know what to ask. So excited for the next chapter btw :^)
I have crawled out of my Venatori-shame-hole and dragged up some of the sludge I found down there just for this ask, because holy shit I honestly really love the Venatori in a weird way. It really only happened over the course of researching them for the fic and then taking apart the canon and putting it back together in a way that was better hahaha
Ok so! They got a couple of different warrior classes with them in DAI, the most obvious and prominent slave warriors are the gladiators (my faves) but additionally there are swordsmen and archers that are occasionally shown with big-ass slave collars as well. While looking into this you gotta consider how the Venatori operate, they want to return Tevinter to the glory it used to be, the higher-ups in the Venatori are magisters and noble mages who need more muscle to effectively make the impact they want, and lower down you have Soparati and other non-mages with money/pull who want to get a foot in the door for the new empire. So I imagine they would have spent years collecting us warrior slaves for their mini armies.
Its easy enough to assume that the more ‘skilled’ warriors, like the swordsmen and the archers, might be mostly people who had to sell themsleves into slavery for one reason or another. Perhaps they were military but fell on hard times. Perhaps some are captured from the Marches and Anderfels or Ferelden, since Tevinter is known for scooping up desperate people for the salve trade. Maybe a couple of the noble houses just had a tradition of raising up strong warrior slaves so they can be protected and powerful independent of the Imperium’s army (I mean, Fenris is a body guard but that kinda reveals that training slaves for combat is a Thing) - so generally I see those warrior slaves as being pretty ‘regular’, meek and bent into the role, obedient and doing their thing with their eyes down. Yanno.
But then there are the gladiators and suddenly you remember shit is fucked up in Tevinter. If there are gladiators in your roman-empire-inspired fantasy civ, you know its because somewhere those men at being pushed into arenas to kill the fuck out of each other for entertainment. Because of course, Tevinter. So you imagine that, if thats a thing, how those heartless tevinter pricks might treat Gladiators like say.... the way a person might treat a dog in dog fighting rings or perhaps a bloodthristy race horse. There would be industry and money in breeding bigger, stronger gladiators, there would be guys who collect up promising gladiators and show them off to their friends while the slave is chained out back with his face mask too close to his goddamn face. You imagine what “training” them would entail, where you want them to be obedient and cooperative but also fucking DESTROY another gladiator in a ring as violently as possible. Imagine Venatori, needing to buy up a slave army, seeing gladiators as the cheapest means possible, considering they dont require much in way of equipment or training, they can keep making money back by fighting or possibly by breeding, and obviously gladiators fighting in a arena is exactly how combat against literal armies work right?
Lol.
Any way I think gladiators are the saddest sacks in the Venatori ranks because they are denied their humanity so much that they get reduced to animals. Even like, the way I write slave Fenris is that he has more ‘animalistic’ expression due to the fact he is not allowed to talk back or have facial expressions or body lanague that would be seen as disrespectful so his emotions come out more in twitching ears and such. Gladiators dont even have their face out to show any expression or communication, let alone the fact they probably cannot see for shit in those.
Im sure the venatori are gonna try and fuck them up with lyrium asap as well, so then they’ll have that going for them.
Ahhhhhhhhh thanks for the ask!! Honestly I love talking about venatori and tevinter trash so if you ever want me to expand on my ideas about them please send me an ask, I literally squealed when I got this one!
