Important! Your pet's RFID chip number might have been disconnected this week.

Is your pet chipped? They should be. Do you know who made the chip?

Pet RFID chips are so small that there's really only room on them for a serial number. When your lost pet is brought to a shelter or a vet's office, they can scan the chip, read that number, and then type it into a program that draws from a series of linked databases to find your name and phone number. That's how they find you, and tell you that Silly Lilly von Wigglesbottom has gone wandering, and she's safe and sound, and would you come get her, please?

Texas-based Save This Life, which provided chips to vets and shelters all across the US, has all at once and abruptly gone dark; their database is just gone. Their customers were not given warning and so did not know to change their registration to another company. A lot of animals have basically become anonymous now.

If you don't know what company you've been using, call your vet's office and ask what pet chip number they have on file. If the chip number starts with 991 or 900164, it's probably a Safe This Life chip.

If it turns out yours is one of the affected cases, the chip itself will still be fine! There's no need to add another, or anything like that. You'll just need to transfer the number to another company, and your vet should be able to recommend the one that they like the best.

This is an event to celebrate trans characters and creators in the Dragon Age fandom!

It’s bleak right now for many of us, both in terms of politics and weather, so this is an attempt to spark some trans joy and uplift each other with a low-key but hopefully fun little fest that culminates on Trans Day of Visibility.

Schedule: Prompt submission: Feb 6-15 Prompt claiming: Feb 16-22 Posting: March 23-March 30 Works revealed: March 31 (aka Trans Day of Visibility!)

Submit prompts here. More info under ‘keep reading.’ Please reblog and share to spread the word!

@dragonagefanevents

How does this event work? People submit prompts related to a certain theme and/or claim which prompt they’d like to write about or draw. At the end, all the writing and art is revealed on AO3.

What’s the theme? Trans characters in Dragon Age — anything about them.

What is the schedule? Prompt submission: Feb 6-15 Sign-up/prompt claiming: Feb 16-22 Posting: March 23-March 30 Works revealed: March 31

Do nonbinary/genderqueer characters count as trans? Of course! That’s who the white stripe on the trans flag is for, y’know. This event is for all non-cis characters and creators.

I’m cis. Can I participate? Sure, as long as you’re respectful and have done your research.

How do I participate? - Make sure you have an AO3 account, because that is where works will be posted. - Submit prompts via this form. - There will be another form posted on Feb 16 to claim a prompt. Prompts are claimed on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will receive an email confirming which prompt you have claimed. - You create something based on your prompt. - Post your work to AO3, and make sure that you post it to the Trans Thedas Fest collection by entering “trans_thedas_fest” (without quotation marks) in the Post to Collections/Challenges box.

- Works will be revealed on March 31.

What do I need to write for a prompt? You can be as vague as “something about [character name],” or as elaborate as you like. But try to be detailed enough to give writers/artists something to work with.

What characters can I write/draw/write prompts about? Any of them, as long as the focus of the work is on a trans character—one of the canonically trans characters (such as Krem, Taash, Maevaris, etc), a trans OC, or a canon character that you headcanon as trans.

What are the requirements for what I create? Fic: at least 500 words (no maximum word count) Art: clean line art Use of generative AI is not allowed. Fanfic should be standalone (not part of a series). Make sure it’s rated and tagged appropriately. Please wait to post your pieces on social media until after they have been revealed on AO3.

Who are you? I’m JJ (they/them). My main blog is @lordlaidir and my AO3 is undeadpirate.

I have other questions! How do I get in touch? You can send a message on tumblr, send an ask, or send an email to transthedasfest@protonmail.com.

thinking about how the first time we have physical evidence of spite (out of combat) is when he's demanding to talk to rook and hurts lucanis for it, but lucanis doesn't want them to get close to him, trying to keep them safe as pain is virtually all spite knows.

then the last time we see it is when lucanis could not be closer to rook, and spite surrounds them both with his wings as if to protect them and keep this moment, like he's discovered this is what peace is and pain isn't needed to get it.
