AAAAAAAA! This turned out amazing! Thank you so much @raenacreates for making this beautiful piece! I'm OBSESSED with the chest hair that makes even Varric jealous. 🥰💚

New Emmrook piece on Ao3! Featuring Liam, from this lovely fic right here.

As always, link below the cut. MINORS DNI

More silly faces of Liam. I've been kinda going out of my way for the sillier pics while others I just happened to press the button at the perfect moment. He's my goofy, sassy, sarcastic goober.

I'm still working on chapter 4 of The Reunion, but just wanted to mention a couple things.

•This is still a wip that I was originally writing in my phone's notepad app. So if it seems a bit off or if the grammar, spelling, or anything else seems off that's why.

•I'm also not super tech savvy and only recently figured out how to use Google docs on my phone which I kinda feel like an idiot for not figuring it out sooner.

•Speaking of why I'm doing all this on my phone. My laptop took a nosedive a couple months ago and my desktop is so old it's in a constant state of updating itself. So both are basically just really expensive paperweights. My phone is all I really have left for stuff like this so I have to make due.

•I'm also not the best with writing. I nearly failed every lit class I had in high school around 20ish years ago. So not only is it not my strong suit I also haven't sat down to write anything substantial in about 2 decades.

•I decided to go with a script style of writing since that feels easier for me to wrap my head around.

•I know a lot of the dialog is transcribed from the game itself, this is a way for me to not get lost in my storytelling among other reasons. Idk it's also just easier to use what's already there as a sort of springboard if that makes any sense. 🤷🏻‍♂️

•I'm working on trying to expand on Emmrich's inner dialogue more, I realize he's not as flushed out as Liam is. (mainly cause Liam's thoughts and additional dialogue are my own as things unfolded, so those are my actual thoughts and reactions to whatever situation he's in. 😆)

• I'm not really sure how I want to proceed with things since I'm considering taking the whole thing down so I can fix various mistakes, add/edit parts, and just overall make it better. I'm still learning as I go so please bear with me. 😅

I'm so thankful to everyone who's been helping me with figuring out what I need to work on as well as general proofreading with any comments. It's been extremely helpful! At the end of the day I'm still a novice and am most definitely an idiot when it comes to stuff like this. But I am trying to absorb and learn things as I go so I'm a bit more confident and competent with this. Thanks for sticking around.

This is pretty much the face I make when I'm trying to figure any of this out. It's like my brain is frantically running around in circles trying to catch my last braincell. 😵‍💫

[czarzarr]

Woooo boy chapter 3 was.... a lot.

Ngl I cried a few times both writing and proofreading this one. 🥲

Grab your tissues.

[czarzarr]

Alright! Chapter 2 is posted.

It's a bit shorter, but that's because it was part of a larger section.

I ended up splitting this part into 2 separate chapters. So Chapter 3 will be up soon.

[czarzarr]

AAAAAAA! Okay, I just posted chapter 1 of the fic I've been whittling away at. I hope you guys like it.

Link under the break.

(Also just a reminder that writing has never been my strong suit. This is my first time writing anything like this, so please be kind with any criticism you might have)

Just a fair warning: Liam does curse a LOT.

Enjoy!

Someone mentioned Roundabout by Yes when I showed this to them so here's another version of my little idiot.

"So you're probably wondering how I got into this mess....."

Damnit, Liam.

[czarzarr]

"So you're probably wondering how I got into this mess....."

Damnit, Liam.

[czarzarr]

I love when I catch Rook making silly faces.

It cracks me up every time. 😆

Especially ones like this where he just looks like he's got zero thoughts going on in his head, or he's trying to catch the lone braincell bouncing around in his head like the DVD screensaver.

Or the knife cat face.

"Eeeeewwwwwwwww"

Though I think this is probably my new personal favorite. 😆

Oh Liam, you handsome little idiot.

[czarzarr]

Hell fucking YES! Gimmie!

[czarzarr]

Just sharing more screenshots of my smart assed Rook, Liam, I adore this chonky goober.

[czarzarr]

My sarcastic, sassy, plus size, Mourn Watch Rook, if you want to draw him. No worries if you don't get around to it.

Ok now that my ranting is out of the way, I’ll start taking Rook requests for my daily warmups.

Reblog with an image of your Rook and I might draw yours, similar to what I did with Tavs! No promises on how many I do, we’ll see what I can get to with the free time I have.

[czarzarr]

So I'm having fun with my EmmRook fanfic. But im noticing that it's starting to get pretty lengthy (not that that's a bad thing).

The way it's set up so far is Liam's pov is one chapter/ part, another is Emmrich's. But I'm not sure if I should keep going back and forth like this, or if I should merge them going forward. Kinda just playing things by ear.

For now I just want to get my thoughts onto the page so they don't scurry away like the rest of the thoughts in my squirrel brain.

I promise to share it once I have a more concrete story going.

Also I've been writing everything in my phone since my laptop runs at the speed of molasses through sand in winter currently, and my desktop is so old it's better used as an oversized paperweight.

So that's partly why it's taking a while on top of my ADHD squirrel brain.

[czarzarr]

Just a few random excerpts from my fanfic so far taken completely out of context, but thought them too funny not to share.

Btw my Rook, Liam, curses a LOT to himself, if that's off putting to anyone oh well.

But soon enough he would find himself meeting two very familiar and happy faces (correction, one actual face and one that is practically a cloud in a shroud).

and Vorgoth... was just Vorgoth.

'Fucking, fuck! FUCK! Pull yourself together, Liam! Gah! Say something, ANYTHING! Maker's balls, at least pretend for just a second that you don't know who this handsome fucker is and introduce yourself!'

I don't want to share too much since it's still a wip, but these were a few that made me chuckle when I read them back to myself.

[czarzarr]

Hey so I am starting to write a fanfic about my trans masc Rook and Emmrich, with the premise of Rook actually being a former student of his pre-transition. I'm pretty new to writing stuff like this, but figured I'd give it a try for fun since I've had like 3-4 different story ideas in my head about them.

So, I don't recall if he ever says it in game or if it's even mentioned anywhere else, but I'm trying to figure out what subject(s) Emmrich would be teaching. Any help would be appreciated.

Figured I'd show off my sassy, sarcastic Rook while I'm at it. He's basically a better looking version of myself.

[czarzarr]

Ever notice that nobody crosses their arms in this game? (Correction: Taash is the only one that I'm aware of.) Also it seems like Rook's go-to position when not arms at his sides is on his hips. Idk I've always been odd with these things, noticing the smaller details.

[czarzarr]

More screenshots of my current obsession. I might have a problem. 😅
