I'm bored so here's some more dragon age fic.
Man being outside is great. It's a lot brighter then I expected, and there's these things that have little leaves on them! What do you call them, their very colorful. Ohh Flowers! But we're not outside today, we're in Ozzamar hunting darkspawn yippie! NOT, It's dark and cold and gross and ugghhhhh. How could Orghren ever live here?! I guess he would say the same about me being in the circle. But seriously that sucked, we were just put in this tower by the Templars and couldn't leave ever. Anyways, it's too quiet so I start humming to myself "We got us". As I'm singing it I realize it's quite an accurate description of me and my dorky group of companions/friends and the situation that Fereldan/Thedas is currently in. Here's the lyrics. "If the sky falls/if the world ends/if the sun sets/and the rivers turn red/if we get lost in the twilight/ somehow I know we'll be alright/cause I got you/and you got me/and we got us." The first two lines make sense because Fereldan is in the middle of a civil war and The Blight, the Rivers turn red with blood especially after the sun goes down because of the dark spawn attacking. And we just get lost a lot. We (read Alistair and I) may not always get along but I trust them all with my life and they (for the most part) trust me. I know Leliana and Zevran do, and Dog of corse. Orghren I think is too drunk to care, Morrigan thinks she can take care of herself. Don't know about Wynne or Sten. And Shale is an Iron Gollum so she does as she likes. As I'm thinking/Singing someone interrupts me "Hey Ali, you might want to stop singing, you know to not alert the dark spawn of our presence." I stop and say to who turned out to be Morrigan (not much of a surprise) "oh right. Whoops! That wouldn't have been good." Then after a few more minutes of walking in the darkness Alistair says his usual line "I'm hungry" then we all start our own individual complaints and that's what we do for the next 15 minutes, complain and groan and argue. I have the best companions, well besides Hawke because Garret has Anders,Varric Isabela and Fenris, so he lucked out. And Marien, her group is kind of boring except for Cullen (my friend from the Circle because he's a Templar) Josie, Cole, Leliana works part time with the inquisition, Sera and Morrigan sometimes advises them on magic stuff. But mines the best :)
Bye!!! :)
Alarian S/C (long story about the S. My actual surname is Surana but I was adopted so I use Cousland as my surname and Surana as my middle name. I'm also apparently kind of royalty. huh well what do you know)
Alarian sounds like a fun person to be around.
ReplyDeleteYeah they are, their very funny. just as long as you don't anger them (Hypo aggression disorder) or something triggers their PTSD or if it's in the middle of the night Alarian's nightmares.
ReplyDeleteWhat are Alarian's triggers?
DeleteIf someone calls Ali "A girl", Dark cramped places, wearing their hair down, going home, the circle's tower, blood magic,being around Marien,Abominations/Dark spawn tend to scare them, things of that sort
DeleteI also have not found information on what "hypo aggression disorder" is.
DeleteI don't know what the clinical name is but Hypo aggression is when a person is easily angered by seemingly small things (like my brother) and/or when the person gets angry they lash out more then someone without the disorder. I do not know the actual clinical name for it so that is what I call it, as it is marked by hypo aggression towards others/things/themselves.
DeleteHow it affects Alarian is they are easily angered to even a physical point of action when provoked enough (example: Alistair calling them a girl, not respecting their pronouns and trying to make Ali wear a dress. Alarian broke his wrist, he then a few days later tried to strangle them and threw them in a lake) Ali is easily angered in general and has a tough time calming down after as well. Ali also is not exactly "mentally stable" so that plays into it too. Alarian is known for passive aggression and making death threats to those who have wronged them, which could very easily be fulfilled as Ali is an accomplished Mage and Zevran is an ex Assassin.
Most wise people would avoid angering them.
DeleteYes, well as Morrigan said "We now have a dog and Alistair is still the dumbest one in the party!"
DeleteAnd Morrigan might be the intelligent one.
DeleteAt least they seem to have some moderate judgement!
Morrigan is very intelligent, most of the time.
DeleteYes, they do!

ReplyDeletewhere does hypo aggression fit onto the internalising/externalising scale of emotional and behavioural disturbance? [I ask this because of yesterday's reading].
Hypo-things in my experience:
hypoglycaemia
hypomania
hypoactivity [yes this is a neurological condition, often connected with catatonia]
Does hypo mean "small" in this context?
The clinical name might be "intermittent explosive disorder".
Oppositional defiant and conduct disorder have some elements of that too.
There is also an element of rage.
[I wanted to ask about Ali and Alarian's attachment].
It's a real true thing; albeit in biology and chemistry more than in physics and psychology.
Alcohol appears to have an effect on hypoaggression. Especially in mice and rats and human groups. [probably pair bonds and individuals too].

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. For Alarian it is more external and obvious "ok their not 'normal'" which their not, as Alarian has fairly severe mental illness and PTSD.
DeleteHypo means big in this case so I guess it would be hyper aggression
That's good to know
Alarian and Ali are the same person. Alarian is their given name and Ali is their nickname.
Thanks for the information!
