8, 11, 13, 33, and 39 for Inan, Alhanin, Tace, and Fewena, E and H for you plz and thank you :D

UNSURPRISINGLY THIS IS V LONG SO IT’S UNDER A CUT

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a childAlhanin:

to stop goofing off and do her chores, she was fairly good about doing things since she was Mom’s Little Helper when they weren’t with the clan and had that Be Good and Do Things mentality really early so she could help mom out but she’s always been really bad about stopping her chores to goof around with children.

Féwena:

to stop arguing or fighting or picking on someone. she was a tiny terror.

Inanallas:

to stop wandering off. to start their homework, do chores, try playing with the other kids more. the sort of things you’d tell a daydreamy child to do/not do. 

Tace:like, everything. stop back talking, stop trying to skip class, stop lying, stop reading above your approved level like– just think of what someone could tell a kid to stop doing in the circle/a circle like environment and he got it.11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?Alhanin:

asks questions like a functional grown ass adult until she’s sure she gets it. Especially when it’s really important. if it’s not too big of a deal might just let it slide tho.

Féwena:

basically interrogates, them/whoever’s available and is like Weirdly Annoyed she’s confused. But she’s always kinda >:| so  but yeah also tends to get progressively more snappish and heated as she asks questions for literally no reason. she’s just too salty to act normal.

Inanallas: 

depends on who’s involved, if it’s someone they know p well they’ll just ask them for clarification. but if it’s a stranger or someone they consider intimidating or something like that they’ll either look around fervently for someone like Thenvas, who they know and will see the confused terror in their eyes and know what to do, or feigns understanding long enough to scamper over to one of their friends and plead for help.

Tace:

gets really mad and petty for no fucking reason and bitches while asking questions then cuts them off from explaining to bitch more. or just doesn’t fucking care and ignores that the interaction even happened bc like, he wasn’t gonna do jack shit with that anyway.

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?Alhanin: greens, especially olive-y ones. it certainly doesn’t look like shit but idk if it’s the best since she and few’s coloring is basically “different shades of red/red-orange”

Féwena: deep reds, darker colors, olive green, basically Edge Lord Colors generally. Overall yup on point tho idk how good the red and green are since her coloring is so red, more red is possibly just too much and green runs a risk of gross.

Inanallas: light blues. it does actually look very good on them and helps soften how pale they are while highlighting their eyes. also makes them seem more approachable and less spooky which the tattoos tend to do.

Tace: Every Color Bitch. he’s…. well he’s arrogant but he’s technically not wrong. his best colors tho are pastels and saturated colors, they really pop on him.

33. Could they be considered lazy? 

Alhanin:

only in her wildest fucking dreams, she likes to pretend at being the lazy lovable rogue but nope she’s a lil worker bee.

Féwena:

kinda, she certainly doesn’t lift a finger if she doesn’t see why she should.

Inanallas:

they can seem lazy, but it’s all the mental anguish keep them from getting things done. It was big problem in their inq au to manage their image, thenvas was doing all the inquisitorial work in skyhold (so basically running the whole dang thing) in their stead while inan still did all the field and in person work. it was month before they could even bare to leave their room after they got made inquisitor. it can take them ages to get anything done and to others it can look like their total slackers and completely irresponsible but the reality is they’re grappling with themselves over what to do.

Tace:

lol YUPPPPPPP. tace is HILARIOUSLY LAZY. he HATES working or doing ANYTHING and loves lounging around. to be fair, a good part of that tho is just like complete and total burn out in effect. but he also genuinely fucking hates like, all the kinda academia-esque shit the circles did and would just Not fucking do it bc Fuck You and go take a nap instead. even when he was in his poorly thought out affair with anders in his da canon verse and helping at the clinic he was forever moaning and groaning and whining.

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people? 

Alhanin:

Honestly fairly easy. it’s a bit difficult to explain exactly but for Al, giving people a chance and not holding them to their flaws, thinking the best of them (within reason) is natural and also an important part of her whole philosophy. compulsive lying is bad, but the reason someone does it could be to protect themselves from something worse, so it’s important not to immediately judge or write people off because of flaws or actions and to reserve judgement until you know more and to always be willing to give people another chance. but at the same time, alhanin is always involved in the justice system somehow and is forever looking for people’s flaws and any/all potential red flags that they’re genuinely Bad or will just do it all again. So she’s both willing to forgive a lot but also ready to pin people at the drop of a hat.

Féwena:

depends on the flaws, if it’s one she finds unforgivable and/or annoying then NOPE and she will beat you up for it, mentally/emotionally or physically. otherwise she’s pm lets things slide until someone else says their not okay w/ something or w/e. she’s aware she’s really not in a position to throw stones most of the time since she’s a belligerent,  kinda xenophobic/bigoted/anti-human aggressive asshole (tho it doesn’t stop her from ridin’ that high horse around town whoops).

Inanallas:

kinda, it’s harder for them when they’re younger and things always feel more dire or visceral and they hyper focus on and distort the negatives but it gets better as they get older and they understand more about life and other people. post-trespasser or the au appropriate exp/age equivalent is very good at being kind and forgiving flaws, even when they’ve personally been hurt because of them. standard inan, which is aprox dai inan (usually pre-skyhold or near to the end bc of the Dark Zone) is very mixed and sporadic about it and hypocritical, clearly still trying to come to terms with how some flaws are okay, some are not, and how extremely situational that can be.

Tace:

TACE DOES NOT FORGIVE SHIT. TACE DOES NOT FORGET SHIT.

He fucking remembers every last fucking flaw a person’s got and will hold them against them until he fucking dies you can try and pull this from his cold dead hands and even then it won’t budge. even once he’s basically married to keshet and living in domestic bless he still is hilariously petty and loses his mind about all of keshet’s flaws (and tbh keshet exaggerates some, like the shitty jokes, just to rile him up), it’s kinder when it’s with people he likes/cares for, like Keshet and CONSIDERABLY less frequent and nicer when it’s someone he cares about and is Highly Sensitive like Thenvunin bc he’s not trying to make them feel bad. but he’s still judging, silently, in his Heart, and then out loud at home over wine while keshet very Obviously ignores him.

QUESTIONS FOR CREATORS

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?Alhanin: ye ye, al is super chill and encouraging so that’d be cool. we’d get on just fine.

Féwena: there’s a chance we could but it’d be rocky there for a while, few is Rough to deal with sometimes and has a very brusk personality.

Inanallas: we’d get on really well and also overshare and cry a lot it’d be a sad lil tiny losers weeping club. inan would probably ask me to draw them shit all the time.

Tace: i have noooooo fucking idea. it’s hard to tell who tace will tolerate until he meets them. i’d probably wanna be friends w/ him but be too scared to talk to him bc he’s so INTENSE and he’d be like w/e, too busy losing his mind over shit elsewhere.H) What trait do you admire most?

Alhanin: 

how committed she is, how deeply she takes being Fair and Just to heart, how genuinely altruistic she is and how dauntless she is.

Féwena: 

her fire, passion and tenacity and her total fearlessness to stand up to anyone over anything. and her ability to actually control that somewhat so she doesn’t go completely out of control.

Inanallas: 

their bravery to push through and find a way to do things they need to even while scared shitless and the seriousness they treat things with when they finally accept responsibility or even if they haven’t accepted it yet. when they got made inquisitor they knew they were the worst choice objectively for a myriad of practical reasons and when thenvas arrived immediately began basically therapy w/ him and gave him pm all her responsibility bc he WAS the best choice and he knew her well enough to be able to help get them functioning again so they could do right by this shit.

Tace:

how totally unrepentant he is for his existence and how he refuses to let people try to convince him he’s the bad guy or that he deserves the abuse he gets and how he constantly stands up for himself against literally everything and everyone while doing his best not to fall into the trap of becoming as bad as them to survive it.

Zahra x Craig (NSFW) ,  Prompt: "My heart finally told me to stop wasting my time"  Rated: M  A/N: okay so I wanted to join the Carnival but at the same time I wanted to practice smut, I actually read a GUIDE for writing NSFW for this, idk, I ship these two a lot more than one should ship a secondary pairing buuut. I have always done that sooooooooo. Yeah,  So after this week's chapter I didn't even want to post this with all this Diego loves someone and everyone thinks it's Craig drama but I will do it, because this is my OTP and I will never back away from it. I have written this before this week's chapter tho so just a disclaimer. He couldn't believe he was in this situation again. He was completely sure that after 2... 3 years of ignoring each other, he wouldn't have anything left for that dangerous hacker. But no... as they were reunited on this bizarre island,he realized that he missed her...  a lot... he couldn't help but smile at how excited she got after beating him in a game of pool (despite her obvious cheating) it's not like it was new though, she was always excited about defeating him... he found that amusing and... cute.  He  figured he was probably on a suicide mission... but he couldn't help it, everytime he saw her she pulled him in with some invisible force.  He got to the door of her suite, you could tell by its door that it was gonna be fancy as hell. He couldn't blame her, he took a key to a luxe suite as well. Craig knocked on the door and it creaked open with a squeak. "I swear she has access to some kind of witchcraft" he thought to himself. He poked his head into her room and looked around. Yeah, definitely fancy as hell. With gold wallpaper and a chandelier.  "Can I help you with anything?"He heard her say with an annoyed tone in her voice, she was by the window, the light from outside falling on her face, highlighting her features and giving a certain glow to her eyes. "Uhm... I uh..."  She raised her pierced eyebrow. "Uhm. I. uh. Stop it and say what you want to say." She crossed her arms in front of her chest shifting her weight from one leg to another. The confidence of her movements made a knot appear in his throat, he didn't know why exactly, he was okay two days ago but now it's driving him crazy, all the mixed feelings he had for her, mostly intimidation, but also physical AND some emotional attraction. Remembering their freshman year, he always had that for her... and for her only.  "No... I mean, you were here since morning and I just... wanted to check on you?"  "Is that it?.." She asked "if yes then I am fine, I am intact, the ceiling is intact, thank God... thanks for your concern." "No... that's not it..." he whispered  She started approaching him fast. "UGH ! Craig just spill out what you came here for, I swear to God I am not in the mo--" as  she got close enough he wrapped one of his hands around her waist pulling her close. "Fuck it" he thought as he pressed his lips against hers. He kissed her deeply and passionately. She didn't pull away. That was good, right? When he broke the kiss he looked at her and her face was a deep shade of red and her eyes were wide in shock, her lilac lipstick smudged. "I-- Okay... theoretically..." she took a deep breath "... Before I unscrew your head from your body.... you explain to me... what the HELL was that about."  He bit his lower lip in embarrassment and tried to form a sentence to explain his sudden act. "I guess uh... my heart... finally told me to stop wasting my time..."  Zahra looked at him with confusion, she pulled away gently, and softened a bit. "Craig..." She almost whispered. "I just... it's wrong okay... I don't... I just can't do this." she breathed slowly.  "I swore to myself... I told myself that I--". He took a step closer. "Wait wait wait , I thought that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE... TELLS you what to do?"  "That's right... I do what I want but--" He interrupted her , taking another step closer and said with a challenging undertone. "Then do what you WANT."  She stared at him for a moment before grabbing his collar and pulling him down, slamming her lips against his forcefully and hungrily letting out an aggressive moan. He, this time, grabbed her by her waist with both of his hands, pulling her as close as physically possible.  She sunk her teeth into his bottom lip as he let out a loud moan, the vibration sending shivers down both their spines. They broke the kiss , both breathing heavily. "Wow...I honestly didn't exp---" She didn't let him finish.  "The bed... now!" She demanded and he complied, wrapping her legs around his waist carrying her to the bed.  He layed her down. His hand going under her shirt, cupping her breast gently, tugging at the fabric of her bra. She took his hand off of her and helped him take off his football jacket and shirt. She bit her lip when she saw his muscular torso. "Huh... would you look at that, the workout did you good" she said playfully. With a little bit of force she managed to turn them around so now SHE was on top of him, she ran her hands down his body before kissing him roughly again. He lifted her shirt and she took it off so that she was only in a bra.  Zahra leaned in and started kissing his jaw and neck making him moan again.  "Zahra..."  she looked at him. Not in the way she used to, neither angrily nor carelessly. She looked at him the way she did when they kissed for the first time during their freshman year. Her crimson-brown eyes mesmerized him. This time  they kissed softly and tenderly. He proceeded to lay  small kisses on her neck, collarbone and then he unclipped her bra,taking it off and kissing her bare chest gently. They took off their pants  and she whispered his name and stopped for a second. "Goddammit, Craig, just... take me already!" She said in a desperate voice.  He honestly couldn't believe it, he was 99.9% sure she will either cut his throat for THINKING about getting with her or kick him out WHILE threatening to cut his throat, at best.  "...Craig?" She asked him as he got lost in his thoughts.  "... Huh? Yeah, yeah" "Are you... having second thoughts about this?.." her face fell.  "What? No! I want you, Zahra... I want you in.... every way... because I..." he stopped for a moment "I am in love with you, Zahra... I am MADLY  in love with you."  She was caught off guard by his confession. "Craig... I guess uh... the feeling is mutual" she smiled softly at him. Zahra pressed a sensor button on the drawer next to the bed which opened a compartment with condoms in it.  "Uhm... Wow... Convenient" he said. "Mhmm" she bit the packaging open.  When Zahra was done they looked  at each other and she lowered herself onto him sending chills down their spines and sparks flying in front of their eyes.  "F-fuck" he thrusted into her, every thrust more intense. She directed his hands to her hips. A scream escaped her lips, her back arching from pleasure.  "Craig!" She moaned loudly. He shifted to a sitted position pressing his forehead against hers then proceeding to kiss her softly , her lips, jaw, neck, every inch of her that was untouched.  "Craig... CRAIG!" They both screamed as they reached orgasm.  She got off of him and lied down trying to catch her breath.  "That was..." he started. "Awesome!" She said with an exhale. "Not gonna lie... the bed is comfortable as hell too" "Pfft. You haven't even seen all of it" She pressed another sensor button and the bed started vibrating as a massager. "Hoooooly shiiiiiit" he said with a shaky voice from the vibrations. She chuckled and  turned it off ,they lied there for a solid half an hour  just wrapped around each other. Later they got up put on their clothes and decided to check on the others, before opening the door she turned to face him and said. "Hope you don't think I will stop commenting your dumb ass after this..."  He smiled "I didn't even expect you to"  She smiled back.  "Good."  A/N: ohhhkay this took about 3 days to finish but I like it and hope you like it as well!
