Hey! I am here to grovel at your feet and beg for a Dragon Age: Inquisition Matchup. All jokes aside, some bits and pieces about me irl: I am 6'6", and I identify as a ???? who likes men. I am a bit on the chubbier side and I have a birds nest of halfway between curly and wavy hair. I'm a Scorpio Sun, Sag Moon, and Aquarius rising, so basically I'm an emotional eccentric who loves travel. I'm pretty nonconfrontational, but very emotional and passionate. I love singing, writing, and admiring art!
so, i would describe myself in one of two ways. i can be incredibly compassionate, i've been the mom friend in all of my friend groups (which i am glad to be!). with the people in my life that i love and hold dearly, i'm always checking in, making sure that they're okay and comfortable, ensuring them that if they need anything they can 100% come to me and i will do all i can. i've been told i'm very easy to talk to, and i create a nice atmosphere. i'm also pretty out there at times, i tend to obsess over random things at random times, i've had months where all i look at in my free time is marine life, months where i am deeply into researching ancient religions, stuff like that. while i am a mom friend, i really open up when that sort of "caretaker" role is reciprocated. i will then open up my more child-like side. when i become comfortable in a cared-for way, i kinda go full mountain dog. a huge cuddly person who just wants to either sleep or goof off.
all that being said, i am a very blunt and sometimes rude person to those who i don't like or when someone messes up. i won't beat around the bush, even if my best friend does something wrong i will flat out tell them. i get very deadpan when i'm talking with someone about boundaries or taking accountability, as those are two huge things for me. my motto is "i won't forgive people who don't think they need to be forgiven." if you don't acknowledge your fuck up, then i will be civil, i will be around you when i have to, but that is it. when it comes to people who are just terrible (bigots mainly) i tend to use my past as a recovered male manipulator (emphasis on recovered i promise i'm not human trash lmao) to get them to spill. i sit back and let them talk themselves into a hole, occassionally cutting in to ask them stuff like "can you elaborate?" "what do you mean by that?" "what makes you think that?" and then as soon as i see an opening call them OUT. i hate liars, i hate bigots, and manipulative people. and because i was all of those things once, they hate me too. i know their games.
okay that is all, i think that defines me pretty well. as i said (at least i think) in the post, i'm huge into singing and listening to music, i love writing prose, and i'm a hopeless romantic who is also trapped in a sarcastic "that was so sweet but i cannot help but laugh at the corniness" body. ----------------------
A good Match Up for you would be… The Iron Bull! This Tal-Vashoth is one with an even more complicated history than most of those that leave the Qun behind. Not having fit into the strict regime he grew up with, his current situation is not much different, just with different insults being hurled at him. To be fair, he does have a rather thick skin and most words (and rocks) thrown at him just bounce off without much off a thought, but as he gets older, he does crave the gentleness and compassion he was so often forsaken in his life before.
When he meets you, his Ben-Hassrath training kicks in automatically, as it does with anybody new in his life, and something just doesn't seem to add up. How you listen to him when being smacked with poles doesn't do it anymore, how you bring him food and water with a smile on your face when you know he didn't have the time yet to take care of himself, it seems so much different from what he is used to.
He keeps you at an arms length for the most time at first, or at least emotionally since he would really miss your form pressed into his side before the fire, leeching off of his warmth while you satisfy your need for physical contact. His young life was filled with manipulation, pain and lies, so anything that seems too good to be true, is suspicious.
For a while he is just fine with your platonic friendship, listening gladly to your sometimes hour long ramblings about whatever obsession has gripped you this time, sometimes even fanning the flame if it is something he is personally invested, but after a while his mild curiosity develops into a genuine interest.
With him and your friends you are always so caring and kind, providing help and comfort whenever someone might feel worse for wear and playing along with all the goofiness that is bound to happen in your close circle. That makes it so much more surprising to watch you once you reach a person of a nastier caliber.
As a former spy, Bull is well versed in sniffing out those with bad or ulterior motives and he is shocked to know that you are as well. Watching you verbally fold the person in front of you in half, he is both mesmerized and maybe a little concerned. Skills like yours don't necessarily come natural and he is curious how you managed to attain them.
His past is as close to an open book as it could be, he never hides even the ugliest parts of who he was and what he used to do, and with becoming his partner, he wishes you would treat your past the same. Like you, he tries not to judge the path someone walked to become the one they are today, of course only if that path led them to become a better person and they are open about it.
With him you can talk about the deeds you deem the most evil, how they made you feel then and now and how you learned to become better because of them and you won't find judgmental words or nasty words coming from him, but a comforting hand on your shoulder and a sense of pride stemming from him. After all, you have learned from your mistakes and that deserves some praise.
The two of you are a force to be reckoned with, mercilessly crushing those who deserve it, comforting those who need it, before cuddling completely entangled with each other, singing songs and reciting love poems in front of the fire like the sappy romantics you are.
I hope you like your Match Up!
