they should have let him and hawke kiss i’m dead serious
okay aside from that. um orsino is my babygirl and i do see why people buy into the orsino fight not being real if you side with the mages especially bc there’s like word of god admission it wasn’t done well and hints in canon etc., but i ALSO think the orsino harvester transformation emphasises the desperation of the last straw fight if you side with the mages, which imo is easy to miss bc of like the videogame format where you know you can’t really lose. even if you side with the mages, orsino thinks you are all going to die. (as a further note, everyone who sides with you with the mages is in doing that accepting those chances, however brave a face they’re putting on it. i really think the gravity of that final stand and like the weight of the odds against you gets ignored.) i don’t necessarily mind orsino’s harvester thing but they should have written it better so it doesn’t like happen non-sensically when you seem to be winning, i think you should be getting overwhelmed. at the very least
for some reason in an old hard drive I dug up ive got a folder called "orsino" which is just weird images and memes of orsino. i can't for the life of me remember the context of this or why i had them but this one killed me:
