rain's long fingers in aether's hair, aether's big hands grabbing at rain's shirt like he wants to pull it off of him, but also so he can feel the smoothness of rain's glamoured lower back. rain can't help but whine and moan into his mouth, really getting into it. letting aether suck hickeys into his neck and coaxing a half-chub out of him by grinding a little.

rain isn't one to have some full-on sex session in the back, i don't think, but i do think he loves when aether just has to get his hand in rain's pants, slipping into his underwear and petting at his little dick because rain's just so wet over it this time, he's so hot over aether's lap, really rubbing on him, and aether really wants to see him fall apart like this, fingers digging into the cloth of the headrests and head hanging onto aether's shoulder so he can lift his hips just enough for aether to stroke him to release

rain and aether making out in the backseat of one of the ministry cars they took on an errand like two rebellious teenagers

Can i say a fe3h hot take. I am genuinely glad that it never got a golden route. I think the inherent tragedy of "it literally takes divine intervention to save these people" is so good. I think a golden route would lowkey go against the themes of three houses idk

Imagine playing a Visual Novel with Cove and you both REALLY get into it and obssesivly play it together for hours... But when you have to decide what love interest to go for, you both have vastly different opinions?? When you ask each other why they like this certain love interest, somehow you both answer, at the same time: "Because it reminds me of you" LIKE LIKE LIKE If you're younger or not dating yet it would be SO FRICKIN CUTE AND YOU TWO WOULD BE ALL BLUSHY AND NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY If you're together, you two would still blush and laugh about how silly you are... Then probably fight about which route you should go through first lol

am I the only person waiting until I actually have my hard copies in hand before reading the short stories? I've been avoiding social media all day because I'm scared of getting spoiled...

Idea for the life series winners' designs:

They all have whatever killed them in the end as part of their designs. So, like, broken/bound wings for Grian, Mike Crew style lightning scar for Scott, burn marks or fire motifs for Pearl, obviously a clock for Martyn, the Secret Keeper symbol tattooed on Scar's hand where he pressed the button, and, if we really count Cleo, we could do something to their eyes to symbolize the VR

Idk, it seemed like a cool idea

Here's a Raymesis from the sketch book ❤️

I'm sorry but can we talk about Arthur's similarities to Faust???

*Spoiler warning for up to ep31*

For those who don't know German folklore/ literature, Faust follows the tale of a depressed and suicidal man who makes a deal with the devil to fufill his desire for knowledge. Now despite us knowing how Arthur's hunger for information has put his and John's survival at risk on multiple ocasions, There's so many parallels!

Faust makes a deal with a demon, not to concerned with the price. Arthur also makes a deal with a demon (kayne) not to concerned of the price.

Faust seduce a beautiful and innocent young woman, usually named Gretchen, whose life is ultimately destroyed when she gives birth to Faust's illegitimate son. Realizing this unholy act, she drowns the child and is held for murder. I DONT THINK I NEED to talk about this much. The fact that Faroe died drowning, that Faroe was also concieved out of wedlock, that Bella's family is super religious. Also the fact that arthur was this close to destroying Bella's life and leaving her with the child, plays an INTERESTING paraell.

Faust is irrevocably corrupted and believes his sins cannot be forgiven; when the term ends, the Devil carries him off to Hell. Let's just refference all of Arthur's Nightmares and his breakdown after killing Uncle.

I do find this concept interesting because Arthur is heading to New York as Kayne desire, from what prophesies insit is to serve the order of the Fallen Star. If we follow Faustian folklore, it's likely that Arthur is entering a trap in which he's going to see the fine print of his deal, and find himself in servitude. Considering in the story, Mephistopheles (the devils representative) serves Faust with his powers until death, and then the roles reverse. I do find it interesting, considering John is essentially at Arthur's beck and call. Could his secret deal between John and Kayne have something to do with an act of servitude. Has he got something in it to protect himself ? John seems quite desperate to keep Arthur from death, seems more afraid of what waits for arrhur than himself. Something seemed to insist they wont end up in the same place. maybe he knows that the deals made will have Arthur enterally enslaved.

There is a slightly more modern interpretation in which Faust is saved by God via his constant attempts to be a good person. Who knows, maybe John could be his saving grace, and push him in the direction of freedom. Will the King in Yellow save Arthur from Kayne, does God save his follower from the devil?

These are interesting questions, that have me scared.

My theory going into Dragon Age: The Veilguard is that Bellara has SOMETHING to do with Flemeth.

Bellara -> Asha'Bellanar

We don't know who all Flemeth's daughters were and she can reincarnate(?) through her daughters

Goes through Eluvians -> Flemeth put somethingggg through an Eluvian (soul, power?) before she died so if not originally related she could have encountered that and it changes her

I was already suspecting her as Obligatory (Mage) Betrayer Companion when we thought she WASNT a mage but now that she's been confirmed as one... Side eye.

Flemeth has been in every Dragon Age game there is nooo way she's done and this connection makes sense to me at least

If this is true, im very intrigued with where her story could go!

thinking about the precious few guitars copia probably has for casual playing & songwriting. an old acoustic. a bass and an electric. maybe one of them he's had for years, even before all this cardinal business came about. maybe one of them is shiny, brand new. a personal reward for himself in place of all those lost awards.

he doesn't play religiously. but he's good enough to transfer his thoughts to sound.

him in his room at all hours of the night with a pad of paper next to him, strumming out tunes as he figures out his next song. alternating between holding the pen in his mouth or the pick.

maybe he had enlisted the help of the 'older' ghouls who trusted him enough to work with him at the beginning, seeking their guidance for how the previous papas did it before him.

and slowly but surely, he finds his own style, bringing his own pack together for brainstorming sessions. it's his vision, sure, but he would never turn down an idea for a lyric or a baseline or a drum fill from his ghouls.

he looks at those guitars now, still in their stands in his office. twirling his new grucifix between his fingers nervously, knowing he may not ever get to pick those up again.

Rook: I'm really worried about Davrin and Lucanis, they keep arguing with one another... Its very bad Varric, what if it effects them in battle?

Varric, remembering that one time Fenris broke Ander's nose then took a knife in the back for him in the same night: I'm sure they'll be fine kid. They're barely even arguing if you ask me

I have a lot of thoughts about Percy Tozaki (from Keyframes VN) and I just... I wanna write them down but I need to go through the game again (I never trust my own memory lmfao). wait nvm I started and I can't stop my thought train elp Like on the surface he acts very charsmatic and charming, but you can see SO often in the game that he often steps back and let's others shine over himself? And like... He's always looking out for the other two guys? Like he'll make sure Jamie gets something he likes to eat/willing to eat? He grabed a ton of lemonade for Elio to reward him for being nice (despite saying that's not what he's doing). He makes sure everyone is seen while he just... steps back?? LIKE. I SEE YOU PERCY. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING Also I haven't played everything out there yet of Keyframes, but I noticed he never really talks much about himself/family? He always ends up talking about Elio's family and it sounds like once they became friends in highschool he was always there? So I'm like??? hello is there angst there?? AND THEN I did the event where they go to halfway point and he says he got into his school career path because he's just kind of good at it? Like that might not sound like much, but before I got that scene I was thinking for my MC that she just became a lawyer because she was told 'it's either that or you're worthless' (better phrased but I'm sleep deprived). And when that scene came up you had the option of saying your family was a line of lawyers and that just lined up with her so well? So I'm not thinking that Percy is the same since each answer seems to line up with each li (Family is in that career <- Elio, Wants to help people <- Cameron, Jamie [not sure because I haven't done his route but he reacts to this line], In it for the money <- Not sure because I forgot to check the reactions for this line), but I'm thinking maybe he was pressured to go that career path from family?? PROBABLY reading too much into it but it is interesting that he never mentions his own family... MAN even at the Spring Festival he says he wants to play games but the other derail him/get to do what they want? And when you hang out as a group (I havn't done the indivdual hang outs yet) you just never end up doing the games?? Well, the ones where you can win a cheap toy prize. You do some fun challenges together, but I don't think that's what he was aiming for when he said what he wanted to do. (Spoilers from asks from Blank House after this) Also I saw through Blank House asks that one of the li routes is gonna include a breakup? And my first thought is: Jamie, of course. He's international so he might break up with you because he's going back to Sweden? but what if it's one of the other lis... AND I can't see it being Elio... (if it was that would come from left field LOL) (ok done about the BH ask) ANYWAYS PERCY I SEE YOU. I SEE YOUR PAIN AND I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU
