Sonic sona! Meet Saph the Moth. Or Thesa the Moth. Or just Bo. Maybe. Idk

see, the other thing about veilguard is that i flat out do not believe that people would just immediately roll with the idea that the elven gods were (a) real (b) actually supremely powerful mages and (c) here right now. people would write them off as demons from the fade pretending to be the gods or regular modern charlatans, because there’s no way to prove that the people you’re fighting are the ancient mages. like, you’re telling me thedas doesn’t have dozens of false andrastes or reborn “gods” wandering around at any given time? religion attracts charlatans, and that’s been a running theme of dragon age for the entire series.

this is something entirely distinct from the actual deep lore of the setting, but it absolutely beggars belief that the return of two elven gods is both accepted as real and also not a cataclysmic upheaval in the religious world. you can have one or the other but not both.

there’s a similar issue in the mcu with thor, but even there you have cap flatly rejecting the idea that thor is an actual god!

none of you will ever understand the importance of kankri and mituna saying the exact same thing to me. YOULL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT

Junelezen 28-Family

Family wasn't defined by who birthed him. Family was not cold-eyes and absent warmth, by blithe profiteers off of of a young child's indignity and shame. Family wasn't the ones who had shown him that the only thing in life worth relying on was oneself.

They had found him a dead man on the other side of the world, and placed themself between him and a sure end. They were the ones who had welcomed him even has he healed from wounds that would never truly mend. Family was here, now. And never had it felt realer than this.

"Wildfire: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse" Based on a Hit Song

The # 1 worldwide hit song by Michael Martin Murphey inspired Wildfire. It’s that tale of the Cherokee ghost horse and a young girl coming to terms with a guilty conscience. Directed by Eric Parkinson, Wildfire tells a story of redemption and forgiveness as a young girl deals with her guilt following the tragic death of her parents. With the family facing financial ruin, the survivors move from…

thinking about my poor nb inquisitor whose playthrough is taking me way too long to finish... not because i don't love them, it's just that DAI's replayability can go only yay far :')

Escaping the dungeon is their clear goal, but first Thesa (the ex-paladin Witch) and her girlfriend? lover? domme? demoness will need to cross through a floor with an out-of-place theme: Candy! Will they make it through in tact or are they going to need a trip to the dentist when this is all done?

The next chapter of Paladin to Witch is the highest production value yet!

3 new monsters with art by Botjira!

A map I made in Dungeon Scrawl!

And the start of some silly nonsense!

Goes live: Tuesday, December 17 @ 11:00am PDT

Story summary and publishing details under the cut:

Indebted to the very demoness she was sent to kill, Thesa questions everything she’s ever known, bonds with the sexy [High Devil] Merijest, and practices her interpersonal skills. Can she help Merijest rebuild her army before it's too late?

Includes:

- Slow-ish burn GL romance

- [System]-lite LitRPG about two characters accustomed to life in a video-gamey world

- Steamy tension (no explicit sex scenes, mostly implications and tension)

- A reverse dungeon-crawl from the bottom of a kaiju-sized mimic

- An ex-Paladin trying her best not to stare at a casually nude demoness

- Weird monsters from the mind of a maniac author

- Very infrequent curse words. I counted 8 times in the first volume (45k+ words).

- Religious trauma. This one is especially going to appeal to the Catholic and Ex-Catholic girlies out there. Nobody does angst like we do, babey! (Nothing inside is strictly allegorical of any religion, but the sensibilities are definitely informed by a Catholic milieu.)

Updates Tuesdays at 11:00am PDT

Chapters hover around 1-2k words each

So I'm on my second Veilguard run and went to pick up Lucanis last night, and something occurred to me...

WHY THE HELL IS THERE LITERALLY NO INFORMATION ON THE OSSUARY???

There's this HUGE MAGICAL UNDERWATER COMPLEX CLOSE ENOUGH TO ACCESS BY MAGE-WITH-A-ROW BOAT FROM TREVISO, and we've just not only never heard of it before, but THERE IS LITERALLY ZERO INFORMATION GIVEN ABOUT IT IN THE GAME???

There's no location info, no history, and any of the codex entries or texts you find there only person to the current Venatori activity???

I feel like I recall someone mentioning it was of ancient Elven build, but if so it was just quick passing banter.

WHY ! DID ! THIS ! PLACE ! GET ! NO ! EXPLANATION ????

Like I'm not even talking as a Dragon Age fan here. I am talking as an Aquaman/Atlantis obsessed, the Gungans were my favorite SW alien, amphibious peoples/species are my #1 thing, ALL THINGS UNDERWATER DEVOTEE here.

Thesas lore and history aside, the Ossuary is HUGE and COMPLETELY ENCASED IN A MAGICAL BARRIER TO HOLD BACK THE WATER. Who the fuck built this and why?? Was it originally a prison? Or did whatever Crow that rediscovered it decide to make it that and fuckin WHY??

Why the hell would you make SUCH AN INCREDIBLY COOL LOCATION and then just handwave it away as "underwater prison, whatever" AND NEVER REVISIT OR MENTION IT AGAIN??? That's not just lazy writing, that's a HUGE disservice to the artists/devs who designed it! WHAT THE FUCK BIOWARE???

Like I know so many people are mad about so many things in this game but fuck it this is going to be my banner I carry in to battle. I WANT ANSWERS ON THE OSSUARY YOU COWARDS. GIVE ME MY MAGICAL UNDERWATER PALACE.

Date Night 💓

(Thesa baby stayed home with Granny ;p)

[alackofghosts]

got tagged by tumblr user @fourteenthz (loved reading about thesa, by the way <3)! thank you very much!

— B A S I C S

name: lil guy i'm very shy, don't worry about it

nicknames: none based on his name, as it's quite short already, but will also respond to a fond and/or slightly exasperated "hero"

age: 33 as of 6.55

nameday: 27th sun of the 4th umbral moon

race: rava viera

gender: cis man

orientation: gay

profession: adventurer

— P H Y S I C A L     A S P E C T

hair: black, naturally wavy, very thick and soft

eyes: dark brown

skin: warm brown, freckles easily, especially his face

tattoos: none

scars: burn scar on his left shoulder from his fight with ifrit, another burn on his right thigh from nidhogg. a few other scrapes here and there. notable lack of any significant scarring from shb and beyond, because that's how i see astrologian healing working - he feels particularly strange about not having a scar from his fight with zenos in endwalker

— F A M I L Y

parents: he has not been back to his home village, for obvious reasons, so doesn't know - but assumes - his mother is still alive and well; never met his biological dad. but because he showed signs of. however the viera would call/conceptualise the inner beast, one of the women called in a favour with a wood warder who was also a warrior, to take him under his wing to train. said wood warder, however, was wholly at a loss what to do with a child, having never taken in a ward before and decided to seek out an old friend, who had since left the forest. ...long story short, he ends up being raised by an all-viera dalmascan resistance cell, who end up packing up and leaving with him in tow after almost being rooted out by garlean forces. he views most of them as Parental Figures and loves them dearly, even if some of them have scattered into the winds after he left to become an adventurer

siblings: he isn't aware of any biological siblings, but the village took a very communal approach to raising kids, so at the time he definitely felt like the other kids were his siblings, regardless of any blood relations. one of the men in the resistance cell was a 'mere' 30 or so years older than him, so he also counts more as a sibling than anything else in his eyes

grandparents: he has definitely met his maternal grandmother, but as with his mother, he's not been back home and doesn't know if she is still alive (but in all likelihood: yes)

in laws and other: THE TWINS. putting an exact name to what alisaie and alphinaud mean to him would honestly not be Good or Close Enough, but they are absolutely like family to him and a reason to keep on going. he also has a very sibling-like relationship with lyse, who is always ready and willing to match his energy, tag along for workouts and tease the hell out of him

pets: he befriends an amaro hatchling at the crystarium during shadowbringers and during a later visit, her handler notes that she's been looking glum without him around. he loves animals, but his living situation has been far too chaotic after becoming an adventurer to accommodate an animal (that isn't his chocobo, who, at least, is much easier to house) and hasn't felt particularly inclined to change that. but after endwalker, he finds himself actually wanting to change that and has the time to do it... so, with a little bit of help from feo ul, he has a little amaro friend with him now

— S K I L L S

abilities: war + drk + pld and all that that entails. skilled and formidable fighter, good at navigating/strategising through a fight on the fly, quick study (as far as fighting is concerned, anyway)

hobbies: working out (especially running and swimming), hiking, he's been learning to enjoy fishing after endwalker

— T R A I T S

most positive traits: protective, caring, insatiable lust for life

most negative traits: too willing to let other people do the talking for him, impulsive, stubborn

— L I K E S

colours: warm red, gold, the bright green of sunlight filtering through leaves

smells: fresh earth, cinnamon, a meadow in early summer, the savoury smell of the stew one of his dads used to make

textures: soft grass under bare feet, tree bark, skin on skin, the scratch of ardbert's beard

drinks: water, pineapple juice, lemonade

— O T H E R    D E T A I L S

smokes: no

drinks: only socially, and even then it's fairly rare. he did drink a little more often as a baby adventurer, mostly because he simply had more opportunities to do so: mingling was useful and it wasn't uncommon to have a rowdy bar night to celebrate a job well done. he is a bit of a lightweight and tends to withdraw when tipsy/drunk, so he actually has more fun when sober

drugs: also no (unless we're counting medicine for this. he won't be refusing painkillers if he's in pain etc.)

mount issuance: his beloved chocobo, who he dotes on very much, especially because it was something of a dream to have when he was just a baby adventurer - he could not have afforded to buy or maintain one at the time

been arrested: he's got in trouble for those rowdy bar nights - he's not the type to start a fight, but if someone were to pick a fight with him or his friends, by gods, he will be finishing it. no serious jail time, more like being hauled off with everyone else involved to sober up until morning, though

Day 19: Food

It wasn’t as often these days that the Free Company had the time for meet ups, and that made meals like these especially important. Even less times to meet up with family.

So when there was a chance to do both and a dinner to boot? The Ul’dahnians would have adored a two for one deal.

Credit to @venusbeautyshock for my FAVORITE shot of the year! Through her magic power, we managed to get every Oc in Ael’s current story all in one place!

From left to right, we have

Temlum Bayquad, retired dominatrix, red mage and Ael’s not-Mom, @venusbeautyshock ‘s character! A certain Doman heir to the throne and his appreciation for Xaela culture has caught her eye…

Kristoff Rockwell, @brokenpocketwatch ‘s good gunbreaking boy and local Lominsan Melwyb/Runar simp

Rhan Kelleran, in the back being the moody stalker-now-adopted-brother a la a stray cat and Ael’s rival for title of Best Brother. Paired duo with Vern.

Thesa Kelleran, adopted sister, battle dancer and technically the reason why Ael’s alive to tell his tale at all. Starting to dance more and more often for a foppy little Ishgardian fellow with a penchant for ballroom dance…

Vern Stinar, back in the back with Rhan, one of the bow hunters who found Aelaeis and the best (if strictest) older sister a group could unofficially adopt. Paired duo with Rhan (and third wheel Rusk).

Samina Olson, a high level Scholar, daughter of a Pirate Queen, and powerhouse who is nearly mythical in the guild itself.

R’hixa Grimm, an accomplished bard and Fangs Brightclaw’s sister, joint paramour to a certain stinky dragoon and de-crystalized kitty.

Fangs Brightclaw, a white mage (by doctor’s orders) and accomplished Ul’dahnian Trading Board mogul whose guild, Triad, accepted Aelaeis and his crew with open arms. Has the ear—and the hand—of a certain beautiful blue Elezen man.

Rusk Atoel, a gadfly and huntress who was among the hunting party to first find Ael all that time ago, funny girl to Vern’s straight man. 🏳️‍⚧️

T’ahlin Ven, another adopted sibling who shares in Aelaeis’ past—and his lack of memory about that past. A Dark Knight with a HORRID sense of direction and a sweet spot for a certain dashing rogue-turned-DILF.

This is Triad, Ael’s Free Company and family. And he wouldn’t trade them for the world.
