Hullo! Name's Linky, I'm 23| The meaning behind my tumblr url is I love dragon age and I'm obsessed with dogs, so it only made sense| My hobbies are writing, mainly! I'm also really into reading, spending hours daydreaming, and singing| I followed you because I saw your DA:I Fenris gifs ages ago and DAMN| Random fact about me is I'm a teacher too! And Australian! Small world! | My question for you is what other fantasy series do you love (video game or otherwise) :)

Hello there - another teacher, and an Aussie one to boot! :D 

Obsessed with Dragon Age and dogs? Gosh, wouldn’t know what that’s like... *sweats profusely*

Ahhh, DAI Fenris. It has been a while since he has graced my dash, so I apologise for that!

Other fantasy series I love? Oh boy, where do I start? I’ll just chuck a list down of some of my favourites (I am guaranteed to miss SO MANY though):

The Kingkiller Chronicle - Patrick Rothfuss (although I may die before book 3 is ever released) (novels)

The Gentleman Bastards Series - Scott Lynch (novels)

The Gameworld Trilogy - Samit Basu (also the audiobook is read by Dorian Pavus’ voice actor, which is a real treat)(novels)

The Witcher 3 (video game)

The First Law Trilogy - Joe Abercrombie (novels)

Red Sister - Mark Lawrence (novel)

Anything by Brandon Sanderson. I am weak for his books and have no idea how he churns out so many so quickly (1000+ novels. He probably wrote one while I typed this)

The Princess Bride (Film)

Spirited Away (Film)

Howl’s Moving Castle (Film)

Avatar: The Last Airbender (and Legend of Korra) (TV series)

The first few seasons of Supernatural where things were spoopy (TV series)

TES: Oblivion and Skyrim (Oblivion for the story/guild quests omg, Skyrim for the pretty trees) (Video games)

Bioshock Infinite (Video game)

If anyone has any recommendations, please feel free to reply with them (especially books)

On mobile so no emojis (mostly bc I'm lazy) but 5, 8, 23 for that book ask meme?

5) 📘 favourite third book in a series?

Bands of Mourning - Brandon Sanderson (from the Wax and Wayne series). A great western-style fantasy based in the Mistborn world. I want to say Doors of Stone Rothfuss pls it has been six years u gotta

8) 🎁 book that was surprisingly good?

The Gameworld Trilogy. I really wasn’t sure what to expect going into this series, but it turned out to be a hilarious, unashamedly cheeky fantasy story that incorporated so many tropes and anti-tropes that I lost track half-way through. Samit Basu just has such a great way of delivering humour throughout the trilogy, and if you’re an audiobook fan it is narrated by none other than Ramon Tikaram (a.k.a. the voice actor for Dorian Pavus) and he does a phenomenal job!

23) 🤴 favourite prince/king?

Dalinar Kholin from The Stormlight Archive. Unf. Marry me, you honourable man you.
