listen to me.

bethany in the circle trying to do traditions/recipes that, growing up, her mother had told her were from kirkwall, as a way to try to settle in and not feel like such a stranger. but everyone in the gallows is so alienated from actual kirkwall culture (because yk they’re all transplants and/or were taken in at a very young age) that they don’t have those things either

#bethany hawke #it’s my own personal brain worms but i wish they would do more domestic worldbuilding #i think a lot about how leandra would have raised them with stories about kirkwall vs how that compares to when they get there #but also. the fact that mages in the kirkwall circle might not even consider themselves kirkwallers #god knows where some of them might actually be from #i’m talking about family recipes that no one can have because in the circle they’re cooking for hundreds of people. Oops All Stews #i’m talking about small holidays that aren’t on the chantry calendar so the templars don’t get to celebrate so no one observes them #i’m thinking about young apprentices trying to learn what their family might be doing without them #thirdhand through bethany trying to remember what her mother would mention #bethany #mine
