☼ The Sun Commission of Inquisitor Vaughn Lavellan for @silentspectres ♥ Thank you so much for working with me!

if you play video games long enough you see the fandoms treat black characters the same way over and over and over again (wyll ravengard, felix iresso, preston garvey, vivienne de fer, etc etc etc)

me and my homies support real artists who put their passion into their pieces instead of a machine who rips off the hard work of talented peeps

Post-canon, somewhere in a Rivaini inn, Lucanis sees more of "Rook" than he thought possible <3

Background/headcanons under the cut for context:

Background:

- Lydia Laidir, born into slavery in the Imperium, was inadvertently freed when the ship she was serving on was attacked by the Felicisma Armada, and eventually taken in by Isabela and the Lords of Fortune. Isabela gave her the affectionate nickname "Rook(ie)", and in a effort to cope with her upbringing she sought to reinvent herself under this new name. Overtime, the name Lydia became an extremely personal aspect to her, and by the time of Veilguard the only people who know her real name are Isabela and Anders (her magical mentor), and she goes by Rook exclusively to everyone else, even her partner Lucanis.

Headcanons:

- After the events of Veilguard, Spite stops reflecting Lucanis and instead takes the form of a cat (credit for this galaxy brained hc goes to @/ravioliage)

- As a mage growing up in Rivain and mentored by Anders and Justice, Lydia has learned to hear Spite in a similar way to Emmrich 💜 This makes many situations both more and less awkward.

- Shortly after the events of Veilguard, Lydia was able to pair Lucanis with a baby wyvern of his own, who he named Dolce (credit for the name goes to @/iisadiya), and when there isn't a pen outside or there's bad weather, she curls up on whatever furniture the inn provides in their room and absolutely destroys it with her claws and venom <3 Lydia and Lucanis have, on multiple occasions, had to soothe a very distressed innkeeper and pay a small fortune in damages 😔

We are a detective! and not at all several wisps in a trenchcoat

Rook: Truth or dare?

Lucanis: Truth.

Rook: How many hours of sleep have you gotten this week?

Lucanis: Dare.

Rook: Go to sleep.

Lucanis: I don't like this game.

I don't have much time to commit to Taash Week as much as I'd like to

But I'll still leave this portrait for support

my piece for @datvcompanionweeks Day 3

[dragonagedidiot]

thinking about how solas was running around minrathous reliving his glory days as god of the revolution or whatever FOR WEEKS while rook was in gay baby jail, while thinking about how dorian was ALSO running around minrathous with the shadow dragons because That's His Fucking House

do you think they made eye contact across the street while fighting a bunch of venatori like that it's always sunny meme

[dragonagedidiot]

oh cassandra......

(someone on twitter asked for a version of this with sera and dorian)

Morning sketch with Lucanis for all of you🧡

The world is in great peril, and you are the unlucky protagonist who must save it! Spin this wheel three times and get your Dragon Age party that you're stuck trying to save it with.

Feel free to reroll repeats. Most are companions, but there are also a few companion-adjacent possibilities. You can assume that you as the protagonist have a basic level of combat competency even if you don't in real life, so don't worry about yourself

[dragonagedidiot]

when you hear someone mention your hyperfixation

⸻ [ you're late ] yes, but we brought gifts. commissions
