#in my feels
Last night i was in my feels and tumblr knew it.
I wanted to make some dramatic post about my life. But tumblr wouldn’t let me make a text post. I’m kinda glad today.
Anyway I’ll be gone for a few days. The queue has some stuff ready. But I’ll be back soon.
i am terrified of how quickly things change, circumstances change, feelings change and people change. it scares me to think about letting someone in and trusting them with my life, my emotions and then them just changing their mind about me.
What are you feeling
The moon is in cancer and we’re feeling emotional tonight
But consider Cullen’s clothing in DA:I.
It’s the first time he’s been able to choose his own daily outfit since he was a child. So what does he do? First, pragmatism: he keeps the basic protection of full plate armor, but ditches the infamous Templar skirt in favor of practical leather breeches.
But then he takes that armor, and he covers it in soft, organic material. Leather gloves instead of steel gauntlets. Shaggy fur to replace the over-compensating, pointy pauldrons. Fabric to wrap around his chest plate. Not coincidentally, he leaves only one spot of his chest plate exposed: the place where the Templar sword glaringly isn’t.
Early on, the Iron Bull comments on how Cullen’s Templar past is unmistakeable – and it is, don’t get me wrong. Still, his clothing in Inquisition says to me that he’s trying, very deliberately, to be a new person. The symbolism of covering his templar armor with mage-appropriate fabrics may not be conscious, but it’s surely significant.
