    Summary

    Dorian woke up surrounded by black silk with a heavy arm around his waist. He has a husband, children, his father's love, the Tevinter Imperium has been reformed, he's Archon... It's like waking up in a Ferelden fairytale.

    But of course it isn't all as it seems. Why would it ever be that way for Dorian?

    Summary

    2020 REVISION:
    - I deleted almost the entire section about Aquinea, which was simply misfired,
    - corrected wording.

    In this essay, I focus on the psychological profile on Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age: Inquisition. I wish to convey some peculiar traits of Dorian's personality which make him one of those fictional characters who evoke strong reactions because of their inner depth and credibility. This essay is based on the analysis of fictional material provided in Dragon Age: Inquisition and "The World of Thedas" compendium.

    Whenever approaching fictional characters, I follow a principle that they must have profound psychodynamic depth if we are supposed to sympathize or identify with them — if they are supposed to move us at all. Their stories carry a soul, and within the frames of esthetic suspension of reality we can allow ourselves to treat them as if they were real human Others (thought experience shows that extrapolating this suspension onto real life issues becomes where fictional character attachment may become unhealthy).

    Summary

    He pours so much magic into the boy that he feels his bones hollow. Everything he’s done, all the study, all the work, all the power, culminates in this moment, and it’s still not enough. But there’s blood on his hands, and it’s already there so that the boy can live… surely…

    He reaches across the Fade, feels the presence of that little life fading away, and seizes as much as he can. He grasps everything in one desperate pull and brings it back across, and he is rewarded with a tiny cry.

    The body in his hands shudders, writhes, and wails. Halward gasps. He’s done it. He’s brought the boy back. He’s brought his son back.

    He has a son.

     

    Halward has such high hopes for his son.

    Summary

    Dorian is Archon Radonis's ~favorite~ and he has a big crush on Radonis but it goes badly because it's Tevinter. The Dragon Age: Inquisition fanfiction Edward Gibbon would have written if he hung out on the Dragon Age: Inquisition kinkmeme, possibly!
