dragonageconfessions: CONFESSION:    I think Vivienne is awesome and I can’t wait to meet her, but I prefer her not being a romance. We need more female party members who are badass without having a romantic subplot attached to them. Yes, because let’s make one of the only black women in the game a Strong Independent Woman Who Need No Man TM. Heaven forbid we ever let black women be seen as desirable. Also, being in a romance does not equate to not being badass. Look at Wynne, Sigrun and Velanna- not romanceable yet they’re kickass in they’re own right.
