lucanis dellamorte isn't straight.

he didn't gift viago a knife because he looked up to him, wanted to just be friends, or reward him for a job well done.

he wasn't confused until he met your female rook. about his sexuality or sex in general for that matter.

lucanis dellamorte quite literally walked in on an orgy while on a job in tevinter. you know, the famously hedonistic tevinter imperium. he worked there a lot.

and by worked, i mean killed. he kills people for money.

he's not some uwu smol bean cinnamon roll who must be protected from the world and do only straight missionary sex for the rest of forever.

A proposal

Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.

It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”

For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:

[gif of a white man saying “I don’t know what I expected” in a deadpan manner]

The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”

a pretty wedding pic, finally! :)

these two probably both teared up while saying their vows to each other... (funfact: murat cried the whole night before the wedding and good thing teia found a mage to help him with his red eyes and slightly swollen face. he was too excited and happy viago please stop yelling.🥺🥺🥺) also murat is a proud de riva-dellamorte now. also2 the wedding takes place 2-3 years after datv.

there'll be more wedding pics and maybe a little comic strip which i think is hilarious. so stay tuned!!

+ a sillie (how could it be without it) feat viago and teia

+ some bonus pics

wedding haircuts. i was suffering while choosing a hairstyle for lucanis and murat is just... murat. well... he shaved his neck a little that's all lmao.

and without capes. to show you murat's big ass their outfits.

thinking about bellara (bc bellara week is coming up)

and how fucking wild it is that (this is not a criticism of her, I think this is a fantastic character choice and it's so interesting)

she decides NOT to tell her parents that Cyrian is actually alive

Like

she thinks that it's better for them to continue believing that he's a dead hero than an alive villain

their SON

like from her dialogue I think there's a large part of her that would have preferred he stay dead to him coming back like that, but I cannot imagine that her parents would PREFER him dead, no matter what he was doing instead

like Taash says: "He's alive. That's a start."

like?? Their CHILD? She thinks they wouldn't want to hear that their fucking CHILD is alive, even if he was in a weird cult?? I feel like most parents would want their kid back, even if he had a lot of atoning to do + needed to be un-indoctrinated. Before the showdown with Anaris, she has no reason to think he's not going to remain alive

I kind of think that like

(as someone with anxiety)

it could be her trying to avoid it

bc if she told them, then she'd have to deal with their reactions, and she'd have to deal with them possibly having a different opinion, and they would be very emotional and it would be on /her/ to fix this problem, and what if she fails? What if she's not good enough, and she can't make Cyrian come back? And then they're disappointed and upset, because they feel like Cyrian doesn't love his family?

all that stuff would be insanely overwhelming to deal with

so i think she might just decide to put it off until she can try to get him back

bc if she can fix it-- if she can /really/ get then their son back-- then they can be happy. And if she can't

Well. then she probably has to kill him, so maybe it's better not to say anything

I wonder if she does tell them what happened, eventually?
