There's something about lace harding that SCREAMS draw me in pencil and watercolour and then maybe draw me with a lil 0.38 muji pen perhappps tee heee

Rook: this's my boyfriend Lucanis. And this's our boyfriend Davrin. And this's our boyfriend Emmrich. And this's my girlfriend Bellara. And there's her, mine and Lucanis's girlfriend Neve. And this is my girlfriend Harding. And this's her partner Taash.

Inquisitor: ...how?

Rook, shrugging their shoulders: not sure, but I'm happy

[vaguely-concerned]

so when adaar tells harding that they got her mother out of danger in ferelden before the blight really hit, and that she's safe with 'some old friends' for the duration... good people of tumblr I was just hit with the incredibly funny concept that harding's ma is spending the entirety of the veilguard double blight hanging out with the valo-kas mercenary company. ma harding and shokrakar is the buddy comedy duo I didn't realize I needed until right in this moment. they butt heads to begin with but end up seeing eye to eye eventually. with the help of some crates, and creativity.

(...in fact since harding's parents have canonically amicably divorced since inquisition.......( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hello my second nichest but also perhaps most valid dragon age pairing thus far. lace bringing taash home with her for the first time only to find her mother standing on a chair to also be passionately making out with a powerful and bluntly hilarious vashoth warrior is something that can actually be so personal.)

Rook, that's not... never mind This is technically a part two, metaphorically, and it exists for no reason other than I finished Harding's final companion quest and now can't stop thinking about them. Please, help me

Last egg design but the first egg to go

[ndostairlyrium]

I hope she kept the receipt because I think her boyfriend is broken beyond repair

The Lovers: Being at crossroads. Choices. Commitment. Falling in love. Harmony. Warmth.

The Lovers Reversed: Misalignment. Imbalance. Disharmony. Coldness.

My sister watching me zoom in on different parts of this picture : Huh... Whatcha doing there?

IT'S CALLED RESEARCH, TIFFANY

[vaguely-concerned]

I love the way lucanis pronounces 'ferelden' just slightly awkwardly/uncertainly in his first banters with harding that bring it up -- like maybe he hasn't had cause to say it out loud much in common and is having that moment of second language use stumble where you go 'shit it'd be. something like that, right? that sounds about right?? 😬'. it feels like such a neat and well-observed little detail to slip in there I love the voice acting in this game

lace picture dump

here's my second (then pictured complete with first) third and fourth pieces of bobbin lace from this year (technically I made one other thing before this but years ago)

(The first three are the whole stitch then half stitch bookworms and the torchon ground bookmark from Dye & Thunder's beginners book; the fourth is a sampler of cloth stitch, half stitch, and whole stitch/cloth stitch and twist from an IOLI Introduction to Bobbin Lace book.)

Then the beginning of my first attempt at Armenian needle lace, based on a video tutorial by BecomeInspired on youtube. (This is size 5 DMC perle cotton in shade 742). It's not basically difficult to do but I think you have learn to judge the loop sizing. I've worked further on this since and it eventually got a bit ruffly. (I'm pretty sure it should be more visible if you click on the picture)

Finally, an attempt at the primary motif in the Cherry Blossom shawl from Tomoko Morimoto's New Tatting, but it isn't planar (doesn't lie flat). I mostly blame this on having no idea how to upsize the thread space measurements given from "silk thread" (??) to size 10 crochet cotton since for some reason I like the idea of this in the yellow/white mix that is Aunt Lydia's "mimosa"

Okay but what if Rook doesn't use blood magic because they would rather eat people and don't wanna draw too much suspicion-

She just wants to nibble is that so bad (i spent waaay too long on this dumbass meme lol.)
