Later that night...

Taash would actually fall under my definition of "representation that matters" because their story can't be avoided or ignored, and it's all about asserting their identity.

And then she starts to tell me the AU of how Isseya wont be a monster, the griffons will all be a big happy family again and the wardens won't be sick anymore, and yeah no DNA test needed, that's my babys first fix-it-fic 😭❤️❤️

Could that be more than coincidence? Was June giving Darkspawn knowledge of crafting? Without Elger'nan will there be no more Alphas? Without Ghili'nain are Broodmothers a thing of the past? Did Darkspawn have more powers in the past? Is that why each Blight was shorter than the previous one?

It is perfectly possible and widespread to recognize prejudice towards one minority and not others.

Fiction is always simpler than reality, and sometimes makes biases a lot more transparent.

What's a hole if not a Door we haven't met yet?
