veilguard meme match vol 2: the unhingening

so I already kinda used my first choices for the first batch so these ones are a little more.... out there

[1] I recently came up with the idea of Luvia being a Nevarran princess (Luvia Clavarie then...?) who rejected all of her suitors for years and spent her time studying sciences and arts instead.

Guess who's gonna teach her magic...? 💀

A silly little Emmrook comic I made based on my real life attempt to flirt with my husband 😅

Just had a thought about how extra fucked up it is when Ghilan'nain threatens to turn Lucanis *specifically* into one of her monsters. Like, it’s fucked up no matter who you’re romancing, but for Lucanis? He’s just been freed after a year of being experimented on and now this bitch of a god is threatening to do the same shit? I know Rook’s line is the same regardless or who they’re romancing here but the anger in their voice just cuts so much deeper for Lucanis. It’s Rook telling him that they won’t let anyone, not even a *god* do that to him again. What must be going through *Lucanis’* mind at the threat. He hits us with the “She’s welcome to try.” All nonchalant, but can you imagine how much he and Spite are fucking seething? Spite has to be talking mad shit, yelling and screaming behind the scenes.

I wanted to post the lineart separately because I like it

Disclaimer: My Rook Wolfgang Ingellvar is from Mourn Watch, but he is a mage with a soul blade. Therefore, I tried to logically justify this by giving him in his preface, training in the de Riva house

Hi DAtV folks! I’m drawing Rooks!

Today’s Rook is Cora, who belongs to @odetofury (who is also @rookamell I think, sorry if I’m tagging you wrong lol). Cora is soooooo pretty and I kinda struggled to get her face right but I hope I came close at least. 💕

Tomorrow is the last day to throw your hat in the Rook ring! If you would like a sketch of your own Rook, just reblog the original post with pics and lore, and you’ll be added to my list. I have about 60 Rooks in my queue now (thank you for being so kind and excited about my art!! omg) but I am DETERMINED to get to all of their beautiful faces — it just might take me until, uh, April haha. So thanks in advance for your patience and for loving the Veilguard with me. 🥰

WIP Wednesday

No one tagged me, but I don't care, I'm gonna share anyway!

“Next time I’ll let you seduce the target. Isn’t that all you’re good at?” Lucanis bit out, frustration lacing through his voice.

“You’ve grown too soft, clearly. The Demon of Vyrantium.” With a snort, Illario spread his hands in front of him in an over-dramatic arch. “Falling in love has really destroyed what you once were.”

“And you?” Lucanis spat back, his gaze darkening, “should I be like you instead? Falling in love with someone and then breaking their heart? Turning away from them every time they try to reach out and help?” He clenched his hands into fists, “if I had to pick between growing soft for love or turning away and losing Rook, I’ll pick the former. Always.”

Illario’s smile slowly withered away in the face of Lucanis’ expression and he glared down at his cousin. “You think you know everything because Nyx told you. But you don’t know anything. You don’t know how hard it was to leave him.”

“And I’ll never have to know because I won’t leave him. I will never be so stuck in my own thick head that I can’t see what’s directly in front of me!”

Tagging whoever didn't get tagged today for WIP Wednesday! Share a snippet, I want to see it! Tag me!!!!!

[muwitch]

wip Wednesday or whatever or why do you have hands

[scribbleboxfox]

I was talking with @swemtpotamtam about Dragon Age and I fell in love with her Veilguard OC, Percival! My OC, Thema, romanced Davrin, and Percival romanced Lucanis, so we thought it'd be funny if they were friends while their boyfriends disliked each other! XD

For reference, Percival's the Qunari on the right, and Thema's the one on the left.

Thank you so much for letting me draw them! I had a lot of fun!

Dante, especially at his age, subconsciously sort of stepped in as a surrogate dad to Taash. It wasn't something he actively meant to do, it just sort of happened and both just rolled with it.

He admires her courage, and straightforward attitude and the two of them often work out together to keep there edge sharp.

During these sessions, Taash would often talk to him about some of the stuff they have been through, about their fire breath, and how they don't feel like they are male or female.

Dante would often respond with similar stories of his own and how he dealt with them, helping Taash know that they are not alone in being different.

And as he has in the past with the students he took under his wing, when they call for help, he comes running. Even after the events of Veilguard have ended.

That's his Taash now.

If they need him, he will be there.

Taash in turn helps keep his sister(Isabella) out of too much trouble and becomes a sort of go between for the siblings over time. They don't really visit the Necropolis much for obvious reasons but whenever his sister and his annual summer sailing trip rolls around, Taash is with them out at sea.

As for the other members of Taash's family, I don't know just yet because i haven't beaten the game fully so i haven't completed their quest past the "Make them choose to stick with tradition or go their own way" decision.

So from what I have seen of Taash's Ma, I would say Dante would have gotten a but prickly towards her because of how she was pushing Taash towards something they didn't want.

He knows what that is like and what that can do to a person. Example Below.

---

Sometime in Taash's room post workout (CW: self deletion attempt mentioned):

Taash: Hey, Dante?

Dante toweling himself off: Yeah?

Taash: What did you mean when you said, "I know what it's like to be forced into a box I don't fit in and it nearly killed me."?

Dante sighed and sat down next to them: It's a pretty heavy story.

Taash: I'm strong. I can handle it.

Dante chuckles: Very well. *rolls his shoulders and takes a deep steadying breath* Like how you were born able to breath fire, I was born with a mind that fundamentally worked and understood the world differently.

Taash: What do you mean?

Dante: Take a chess board. You have the board, the pieces and the players. Most people are chess pieces. They can only see or think about the immediate world around them and only a small portion of the board and their position on it. But me, I am one of the players. Not only do i see the whole board but all the pieces and the other player across from me. I know all the strategies and all the rules all at once, all the time and i can't block anything out.

Taash: That sounds like a lot.

Dante: It is. And now try and imagine that, on top of all of that, the chess pieces on the board are shouting at you that, despite the fact that you can see the board and know what needs to be done, you are doing everything wrong because you don't act like they do and since they can't see the rest of the board they don't believe it exists.

Taash: That's fucked.

Dante: That...my friend, is my whole existence.

Taash: Woof. But how did it almost kill you?

Dante: Because i began to believe that i was the asshole and the monster everyone thought i was and decided that what few friends and family i had were better off without me.

Taash: Your not either of those things.

Dante: I know that now but back then I was young and trying desperately to fit in. To make friends. Find love. All of it. But, no matter how hard i tried it seemed like i was always doing it wrong. People were always getting angry at me, accusing me of things i didn't do, attaching meaning to my words that wasn't there, expecting things of me i didn't understand... I was confused, and scared and that allowed people to make me feel like i was the problem.

Taash: You weren't though. Your brain just worked different.

Dante: I didn't understand that at the time.

Taash: So what did you do?

Dante: Climbed up onto one of the skeleton structures that are as tall as the lighthouse and tried to fly, knowing full well that all that would happen was i was gonna go splat at the bottom.

Taash: Fuck. What stopped you?

Dante: Manfred. Well, before he was Manfred. He was still a wisp of curiosity at the time but he had found me and spun around my head long enough to distract me. After he knew i wasn't goign to jump, he zipped off to find Emmerich. As soon as i got back on the ground, Emmerich wrapped me up in a hug, took me to his dorm and didn't let me go for the rest of the day and didn't leave me alone for about a week.

Taash: How long ago did this happen?

Dante, counting on his fingers: Eh...I am 54 now so...25 years ago, give or take. I was a few years older than you at the time.

Taash: Damn. You understand what was going on now right?

Dante: Oh Yeah. I went through a pretty angry phase for a while but I worked through it. It wasn't easy, not by a long shot but, the experience allows me to help others like me who don't quite fit in with the status quo, as it were.

Taash: It sucks that you had to feel like that, but I am glad your here. I feel a bit less alone.

Dante: I am happy to hear that. Now, enough dark thoughts. Lucanis is cooking some roasted boar legs for dinner And i don't know about you but i am starving.

Rook Introduction Hour 2.24.25

Good morning, everyone! Good news: Taash Week is coming up on @datvcompanionweeks! It will be from Monday, March 10th - Sunday, March 16th! Only TWO WEEKS left!

To celebrate, today's Intro Hour will be centered around Taash!

How it works: I ask you a question about your Rook(s) and you answer it with as much brevity or verbosity as you desire. You can do this whenever you want, and I’ll reblog it + add some comments! There’s no time limit— if you want to do the older ones, they are collected here! (The post is updated on Fridays!)

Today's Question(s): What is your Rook's relationship with Taash? What do they like about them? Do they have a lot of experiences in common? What do Rook and Taash enjoy doing together? How does Rook help Taash work through their issues during the game? When Elgar'nan is defeated, do they continue to hang out-- does Rook continue to help Taash with their problems? How does Taash help Rook, in return? What do Taash and Rook think about the most important people in each other's lives? Lastly, if you want, write a unique banter between Taash and your Rook!

Answer whatever you like, and have fun!

Did someone call the Mourn Watchers "children of the dark" or did I make that up in a writing haze? Can we call them that, like does that make sense to anyone else as to why we might call them that?
