Episode 11 - Fresh Out of Tokens, HAWKE FEELS

GET YOUR HAWKE FEELS RIGHT HERE

So we’re doing things a little differently this time around, David gets the night off as we have a ladies night to spill all our Hawke feels on the table, the floor, everywhere. 

Tanya is joined by Sylvia Monreal and LC Brown to have a night of Hawke FEELS! This happened because of a question LC asked of Sylvia before she joined us for the first time on Fresh Out of Tokens.

Also! We had our first fanmail relevant to both Dragon Age and Sylvia’s time with us, so we added that into the show :) Full text is below:

Points of discussion for this episode:

•LC: DA2 as a story of grief, mothers in Dragon Age, female friendships (which ones work, which ones don’t) - just some ideas

•Sylvia: Controlling versus being Hawke - how does playing Hawke differ from nameless heroes like the Warden or the Inquisitor? Was your Hawke their own person or an avatar, and how did that affect the game for you? Who is your Hawke’s best friend? DA2 as an immigrant story - Sylvia on FemHype

•Tanya: Fenris and Tevinter, the way in which his trauma as a former is ignored, and the way in which the fandom seems to ignore/coddle/fails to acknowledge lyrium addiction, by Templars, and also vilifies Anders w/o accepting the abuse he faced in the Circle.

What we’re playing:

LC: Guacamelee (new edition), Fibbage, Hatoful Boyfriend

Sylvia: Assassin’s Creed: Liberation, No Pineapple Left Behind (Alpha)

Tanya: Dragon Age Inquisition

Hey look, it’s me!

take my tablet away from me i like the “cassandra’s still highkey crushing on hawke” fanon hypothesis

#dragon age#hawke#cassandra#IS THAT TEMPLAR SHAKING AT THE MERE MENTION OF HAWKE’S NAME#lmfao what a legacy#honestly i feel like this is the reason varric asks you to meet hawke on the battlements#not to avoid cass: so that at the sight of that red nose-streak templars don’t fling themselves off skyhold’s walls crying#cullen fishes a shaking pair in plate out from under a shrubbery#‘what on earth is the matter with you?’#‘hawke’s here’ they sob#‘i see’ cullen says and beats a veeeeeeeery hasty retreat to his office where he BARS THE DOOR (via @fauxfires)

It got better…

Immigration, Identity, and Dragon Age II (Part 1/?)

When my mother was young, she had to leave behind everything that she had ever known to start a new life. Her home was filled with war, pain, and fear, and death – and things worse than death – but it was familiar, and there she had friends, and memories, and that deep sense of direction that you get from walking the same paths to the same places, day after day. The world beyond was a strange danger, and she plunged into it.

I think that if I asked her about it, she would tell me everything. Over the years, I’ve picked up bits and pieces about the long road through Central America, through Mexico, finally into the U.S. (which, of course, turned out to be really more of a beginning than an end to her journey). But something has always stopped me, maybe just the feeling that I don’t actually have a right to ask, and I have been left to wonder instead. I’ve filled in the blanks with other stories, other words from other people, real and imagined and academic, as I try to understand the weight of what I carry in my blood.

Unexpectedly, Dragon Age II gave me such a story. I know that it’s just a game, and I know that there are many strong opinions about this particular game. But I can’t think of another that lets me dive into a world where I am the immigrant, unwelcome and driven and clinging to the mundane while pushed by forces that feel like fate.
