So it's offical.

Both Darvin x Rook and Neve x Rook romance has me in a chokehold.

I finally let Davrin go long enough to romance Neve and DAMN!!!

But seriously? First it was Assan, then it was Manfred (I need to complete the romance) then it was WISPS? I called you adorable! How could you do that to me?!

But welp, here I go again romancing Neve with my Shadow Dragon Rook cause he's adorable and he's won my heart.

(And yes, plot bunnies have bitten me 😭)

BTW...what is Neve x Rook shipping name?

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

Another Poll

So I'm curious (since I cannot give up Davrin and pretty much planning to romance him with nearly all the factions), what factions do you like to romance him with?

Not ones you think would fit the narrative, like Wardens because of the conversations, but ones you actually enjoy romancing him the most as. For example - I like him and Mourn Watch Rook (so far) because they have an interesting dynamic (at the moment) and I like the idea of him just side-eyeing my Rook and Emmrich when they start geeking out about stuff LOL

(I did love my Warden/Davrin romance, especially the Blight Eruption, it would have been nice if all romanced factions got a version in comforting Davrin at this part but eh, guess my imagination will just have to do)

So - poll time. What factions do you like to romance Davrin the most with and why? Feel free to drop a comment, repost/message or even just use tags.

(another thing - does DavRook work as a pairing tag for them? Cause I need a pairing tag for them)

(And yes, I'm still romancing Emmrich, Davrin just made me feel so guilty that I wasn't romancing him!!!)

"The Veil Guard didn't actually care about Rook" the Veil Guard was so desperate to get Rook back from the prison they tried to make a ritual dagger of their own to rip the Veil apart and look for them

Rook wasn't their boss, Rook was their home

My Amell was travelling the deep roads with his awakening crew when they discovered the elven gods and the blight so they book it back to Ferelden where he and Alistair (king) team up to stop the darkspawn hoard again, for old times sake (with Alistair complainh about how they never had to deal with exploding darkspawns thr last time!!)

Bioware, I've got questions...... 🎤 The HoF misses the hardest party of the century where three elven gods have a massive argument and make it everybody's problem and they are where ???

Feel free to use the tags to elaborate on your Warden's situation. I'd love to hear about it!

[sugarbubbleslove]

And Emmrich wins the poll!!

So tomorrow, I will be romancing Emmrich with my Mourn Watcher (and you guys have me excited LOL)

Neve will be 2nd with...hmm, I think I'm going to go with Crow first for the angst.

Bellara will be third with Warden

Neve will be 4th with Shadow Dragon but we'll see how it goes. I might end up liking her romance that much that I'll hit the next run with her.

And in the middle of all this chaos will be Davrin with my Mourn Watcher Rook (Same Rook as my Warden/Veil Jumper. I'm finding it a little hard to let her go as much as I find it hard to let Davrin go LOL)

Thanks for the help! I hope you all are having a blast with this game as much as I am.

So I've romanced Davrin 3 times now and I'm looking for help on who to romance next (cause I need help in letting Davrin go for a minute LOL)

Emmrich with a Mourn Watch because I've heard good things and apparently it's really good with a MW!Rook

Bellara with a Warden!Rook because I think I'm gonna have a type in this way (Since I really like romancing Davrin with my Veil Jumper!Rook but I have done a Warden!Rook and that was really really good!!! Still waiting for a certain scene with a VJ!Rook to see if it is what I hope it will be)

Neve with ?? Rook. I was thinking Shadow Dragon but I actually haven't heard much outside of Warden and Mourn Watch routes. So I'm not 100% sure on what I want faction I want to romance Neve as so any suggestion would be great (Cause at this rate, it'll probably be a warden. I just have that feeling LOL)

[sugarbubbleslove]

Alright, with a over a day left to vote!!

I have created the characters I'm romancing Emmrich, Bellara and Neve (shadow dragon and Crow has won me over) so that when the poll is over (and its Friday and I'm FREE!!) That I can start whoever has won the poll (and take plenty of videos)

(I'm really curious to see who will be number 1! 467 votes already.)

(I may have also recreated my character for Davrin but that's neither here or now as I WILL leave her for last!! Promise).

So I've romanced Davrin 3 times now and I'm looking for help on who to romance next (cause I need help in letting Davrin go for a minute LOL)

Emmrich with a Mourn Watch because I've heard good things and apparently it's really good with a MW!Rook

Graduation

Summary: Sebastian is nervous about leaving Hogwarts, but MC reassures him it won't be alone.

~

Finishing his exams was both gratifying and terrifying for Sebastian. Now his N.E.W.T.s were done and he had only a few weeks left at Hogwarts, he found himself spending most of his time grappling with the idea of adulthood. He hadn’t realised how much of a safety net the school had been, for all the students, and while he was excited to step out into the real world, the idea of not having the Undercroft to disappear to, his roommates to stay up with and the library to sneak into was… scary.

He lay on his bed in his dorm atop the covers, lounging with his hands behind his head and staring up at the ceiling. Everyone else was outside, enjoying the summer sun and freedom of finishing classes, but Sebastian wanted to take the time to commit every inch of the room to memory. 

His eyes had just begun to trace the posters of his bed when a small, white owl swooped in through the open door and dropped an envelope on his chest. Sebastian sat up lazily, letting the owl peck at the bowl of sweets he kept at the side of his bed, and ran his thumb underneath the seal of the letter, flipping it open.

It read:

Sebastian,

Will you meet me on the deck of the boathouse this evening, before dinner?

I promise it’ll be worth your while.

He turned the parchment over, but there was no sign off. Biting the inside of his cheek and narrowing his eyes, Sebastian looked suspiciously around the room, as if the sender were watching.

Whoever had written the letter knew Sebastian well - the vagueness, the anonymity, the promise; it was a concoction made specifically to pique his interest. He set the letter down onto his bedside table and resumed his position of relaxation, trying to suppress a small smile. 

His mind was less occupied with grappling adulthood, and now intrigued with the prospect of an adventure in a few hours time.

~

While the rest of the common room migrated towards the Great Hall for dinner, Sebastian snuck the opposite way, out of the entrance hall and to the exit toward the lake. The summer sun had turned quite suddenly to summer rain, and dark, heavy clouds blocked the light but kept the warmth.

He flipped the hood of his robe up, the humidity swirling inside it and sticking to the back of his neck, as he made his way down to the boathouse. While he tried to remain level-headed, he’d missed the boyish sense of adventure that he’d suppressed to focus on his exams, and couldn’t help but take each step in twos. 

As he reached the final step to the deck of the boathouse, Sebastian stopped. A small voice in the back of the head - which unsurprisingly, he imagined to sound like Ominis - told him to stop. It was no secret that Sebastian had made plenty of enemies during his stay at Hogwarts, and he’d already allowed himself to be lured away from the safety of the school on a mere whim.

He pulled out his wand and held it at his side, listening intently from any sudden movements. The rain masked most of the sounds as it hit the surface of the lake, and his hood obstructed his peripheral vision. Sebastian realised suddenly that he was quite vulnerable.

But, he reminded himself, this was still the grounds of Hogwarts and was included within the perimeter of the protection spells. Only students, Professors, and invited guests could enter - his enemies would have to lead him further afield if they wanted to ambush him.

With a steadying breath and a new feeling of confidence, Sebastian advanced toward the deck, but kept his wand out as a precaution.

For a moment, he thought he’d been stood up, as the deck appeared empty, but as he took a few more steps, the sender of the letter was revealed to him. 

MC sat on a large, red blanket beneath the eaves of the boathouse. Small plates of colourful food, savoury and sweet, surrounded her, and she’d enchanted several candles to float above them, throwing small, dancing shadows on her face.

In the back of his mind, he’d known it was her. Or maybe he’d just hoped it was. Who else knew him well enough to write such a convincing letter? Who else could draw him into the rain and away from a warm meal in the Great Hall? 

Who else but her?

“I should’ve known,” He chuckled, ducking under the shelter and pushing his hood from his face. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to smooth it down since the humidity had turned it annoyingly fluffy.

“You should have,” MC laughed back.

She gestured to where her robe was hanging over one of the wooden beams to dry, indicating him to do the same. Sebastian pulled off his robe and pushed up the sleeves of his shirt before coming to sit down beside her.

“I was going to suggest we meet on the Quidditch pitch, but then I overheard Professor Onai say it was going to rain, and it’s usually wise to listen to her.”

Sebastian looked out at the view. The rain fell in sheets, causing the black water of the lake to dance and ripple on impact. In the distance, the trees of the Forbidden forest swayed in the wind, appearing a more luscious green against the dark grey clouds.

“I’m glad you did, I’m not sure the Quidditch pitch would’ve been so…”

He wanted to say romantic, and usually he would have. He always teased her, flirting so intently to make her blush and laugh, but this time he couldn’t say it. This time he meant it, and that scared him.

MC picked up on his hesitation and avoided his eyes. Warmth still spread across her cheeks and up to the tips of her ears at the implication of what he was going to say.

Sebastian cleared his throat, “So, what made you want to have a picnic?”

She giggled and Sebastian couldn’t help but beam. The way her nose scrunched as she laughed, her eyes crinkling together and her dimples appearing…

“We’ve had a hard term. Well, a hard year-”

“I’d say it's been a hard couple of years.”

“Yes, I suppose you’re right. Anyway, I thought we deserved some peace for once.”

Sebastian glanced across to her as she stared out to the lake. She was smiling, but her eyes were sad. He knew his were too. The weight of everything since fifth year pressed heavy on his shoulders, and he could see the same weariness in her muscles. 

He’d never spoken like this to anyone, always preferring to take the time to process it on his own. The thought of leaving school in a matter of days and not being surrounded by the people he loved, gave him a pit in his stomach. He could already feel the loneliness consuming him, and he hadn’t even left yet.

“What are your plans for after school?” He asked quietly, turning back to look out to the lake.

It was easier to speak like this, without eye contact, as though he were just talking aloud to himself. 

MC let out a deep breath.

“I’m really not sure,” She sighed, “I’ve been wracking my brains for months and I can’t seem to settle on one idea. What about you?”

“I’ve applied to the Auror Training Programme. I should hear from them in a week or two whether I’ve been accepted.”

She smiled, “You’ll be accepted. I can’t imagine anyone else to be such a perfect fit for the programme.”

“There’s still time to apply,” Sebastian said, with a little more urgency than he’d intended. “Imagine us five years from now, side by side duelling Dark Wizards like we always do.”

He’d meant it to be taken lightly, just continuing the conversation, but MC became unnaturally still. Her breath became stuck in her throat and she looked across to Sebastian with wet eyes.

“You imagine us together?”

Sebastian let her words sink in. He stared into her eyes and he realised, as beautiful images of the pair of them still together, not just at work but in a home too, that that was exactly what he wanted.

“Yes,” He said quietly. Then he swallowed, and spoke with more conviction. “Merlin, yes.”

MC bit her bottom lip to stop it from wobbling and snapped her head forwards so he wouldn’t see her cry. Silently, she walked her hand over to his and linked their pinky fingers together. Sebastian looked down at their hands and felt a lump in his throat.

Such a small touch, but it meant more than he could've imagined.

“I’ve been waiting so long to hear you say that, Sallow.”

Sebastian couldn’t help himself. He launched himself forwards, grabbing her chin and pulling her towards him. He pressed his lips into hers, devouring her in a hungry, desperate kiss. MC grabbed his face and deepened the kiss, unable to stop the tears that fell freely down her cheeks.

Sebastian leant forward, accidentally smushing his hand into a plate of pastries. As MC leant back, she put a hand behind her for balance and felt the squish of strawberries between her fingers.

They pulled away at the same time, gasping for air, but keeping close enough that their noses touched. They laughed, both covered in food from their enthusiasm.

Sebastian’s heart was in his head, beating with an excitement and optimism he hadn’t felt in months. 

For the first time, he wasn’t afraid to leave Hogwarts, because he knew he wouldn’t be leaving it alone.

Saw this somewhere else and felt the need to post it cause no one else ever really tells you this stuff

Person: “You need to stop shipping __ with __, it’s not canon...”

… and I’m like…

This may sound crazy but you can still ship what you want and respect the canon stuff too.

So I ended up rewatching some episodes of Terminator: the Sarah Connor chronicles and I swear, today is the day part 2 always gets to me.

Especially the part where John is telling Sarah that he saw Riley and she's expecting him to understand that it was Cameron.

The way his eyes catches Cameron behind Sarah, the brief flicker, the way he closes his eyes and shakes his head as if he's mentally admonishing himself for not having faith in her.

The way he says that he should have never douted her.

I always get shivers down my spine when Sarah tries to brush it off only for John to harden his voice and tell Sarah not her. Her.

Everything is in that one word. The way he looks at Sarah before he leaves and the expression on Sarah's face.

And it still gets me when Sarah tells Cameron to think about why future John sent Cameron away. You can tell she's trying to destroy the bond between John and Cameron and it just backfires because, yes, future John did send Cameron away from him

He sent Cameron to his past self for a reason.

And mama knows it, and hates it.

(And yes, I might be deep in my Jameron feels again but this episode really showcases John Connor)
