Vibes for Softly Tortured Characters

For the ones who make you want to wrap them in a blanket and also scream “JUST TALK TO SOMEONE.”

Always looks like they didn’t sleep (because they didn’t)

Talks like they’re about to say something else, but never does

Constantly touches their sleeves/jewelry/lip, like if they’re not holding something, they’ll fall apart

Laughs too easily, but it never quite reaches their eyes

Over-apologizes for things no one noticed

Craves affection but flinches when they get it

Body language = trying to take up as little space as possible

Flashes of unexpected rage, like pressure finally cracking glass

Always says “I’m fine” in a tone that screams “Please ask again”

Cries alone, then wipes their face like it’s a secret

Feels safest in chaos because stillness feels like waiting for pain

Thinks being loved means being a burden

Cannot remember the last time they were truly, fully relaxed

Keeps people at arm’s length, but is the first to drop everything if someone else needs help

Treats their own joy like it's a luxury they didn’t earn

Rook Origins Prompts

de Riva

1. Was Rook born in Salle? If not, where were they born?

2. Was Rook raised by their parents? If not, who raised them/where did they grow up?

3. How did Rook end up with the Crows? Did they join willingly? Were they sold to the Crows? How old were they when this happened?

4. How did Rook handle their training? Did they ever try to run away? Did they ever lash out at their trainer(s), or did they try to hide from them? Or were they more likely to try to impress their trainers to escape any potential punishment?

5. When did Rook meet Viago? Was Rook always in the same Crow House as Viago? Did they help him overthrow the Fifth Talon/become the new Fifth Talon?

6. What was Rook’s relationship with Viago like while they were growing up? Does it change over time?

7. For Mage Rooks, when was their magic discovered? Were they trained by the Crows? Were they sent to a Circle for training? How was Rook affected by the Mage Rebellion?

8. For rogue/warrior Rooks, what drew them to their preferred method of fighting? Did they discover it early? Do they like fighting?

9. Does Rook specialise in any type of assassination? Why? Did they choose this, or was it chosen for them? Are they naturally good at it, or do they have to work hard to become skilled at it?

10. When does Rook take their first contract? Does Viago give it to them, or was it the prior Fifth Talon? How do they feel about it? Are they successful/do they complete it?

11. How does Rook end up in Treviso? How do they feel about recently becoming a fully-fledged Crow? What about the Antaam invasion/that specific patrol exactly makes them act without permission? Is this typical of Rook or is this the first time they’ve acted like this?

12. How does Rook feel when they find out they compromised a larger Crow operation against the Antaam? How do they feel about having angered multiple Talons, including Viago? How do they feel about being sent away?

13. Was Varric one of the prisoners Rook saved? If not, how do they meet him? Do they become part of the team to stop Solas right away, or does it take some time for Varric & Harding to fill them in?

14. Does Rook like travelling with Varric & Harding? What do they think of each? What do they think of the mission to stop Solas?

internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing

[freelyglitterykryptonite]

OH MY GOD THEYRE CALLED THE CROWS BECAUSE A GROUP OF CROWS IS A MURDER ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[freelyglitterykryptonite]

In light of politics coming out of the UK, USA, and many other countries lately, I thought maybe I should just post a reminder that transphobes are NOT welcome on any of my blogs. I don't care if you like the subjects I post about. If I catch you, you will be blocked. I fucking hate you and hope you either change or suffer consequences of your bigotry.

And to any fellow trans people reading this, especially trans women: You are loved.

Every time im reminded of the fact that you are technically related to the synths I get a visceral reaction to the fact you can have a sexual relationship with at least 2 of them

God do you ever think about how they call Shaun "Father" because he is the source of the DNA for the synths

Do you ever think about the fact that he calls you "Mother" or "Father" not because of any emotional connection or affection he feels for you, not because those words truly have meaning to him, but as a descriptor, because he sees you the same way, as a source of DNA

Gotta love how during Weisshaupt Davrin and Lucanis are all like 'hey man, we've had our differences but this is it. If you die killing that archdemon, I'll make sure to remember you. And yeah, you go out there and kill that bitch, I know you can do it man.'

And then right after Weisshaupt they're like "looks like SOMEONE was pulling their punches and its why we lost"
