#harea lavellan

[rozzwil]

I tried to show this off in my last ask but didn’t realize how compressed it would be so here’s the full lineup at the moment of @diirthara-ma and I’s OCs! I beg of you to open this in a larger window ToT

[diirthara-ma]

OC Questions:

Does your OC have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?

How quick is your OC to trust someone else?

What do you consider the biggest themes in your OCs, if any?

Thanks anon!! :)

Does your OC have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?

Adasha is an only child, although Tamlen was like a brother to her. 

Toni obviously has two siblings, and she was probably slightly closer to Bethany, but she wasn’t super close to either of the twins growing up as their age gap often meant that she was more of an unenthusiastic babysitter than a playmate.

Enaste has three younger siblings:

Ellas, 27, is a hunter for Clan Lavellan (class-wise he would be an archer), although his true passion is making music. He’s married to a former city elf, Effe, and they have two daughters with a third on the way when Enaste leaves for the Conclave. Ellas is a romantic and is less bookish and practical than his older sister. He has been best friends with @rozzwil’s Ishavun since they were 7 and 8 respectively.

Harea, 25, is a hunter just like her older brother. She is trained as a warrior (sword and shield) and so is also on the front line if the clan is ever attacked. She has the most serious demeanor of all Enaste’s siblings and because of this her and Ellas clashed often as kids.

Asvhalla, 21, is the baby of her siblings, and she definitely acts like it. She is the only other one of Enaste’s siblings who is a mage. She has spent the last five years training as a healer (a job she both enjoys and excels at) and also helps grow/gather/trade for the clan’s food (a job she enjoys far less and is not particularly good at).

How quick is your OC to trust someone else?

Adasha is quick to trust; she’s very young and optimistic and sees the best in everyone. She also believes that she’s strong enough to protect herself (physically and emotionally) if her trust is misplaced.

Toni just...doesn’t trust people. She probably doesn’t even truly, wholly trust Merrill, despite how much she loves her.

Enaste is quick to be kind, but slow to trust.

What do you consider the biggest themes in your OCs, if any?

I’m not sure if they have an overarching theme between them all, I purposely set out to make them all quite different people with different strengths and struggles.

[pathfinderyderss]

Both the Lavellans for the headcanons?

Thank you so much for the ask, and I love these two so freaking much.

Harea Lavellan

1: sexuality headcanon

demisexual/demiromantic

2: otp

solavellan.

3: brotp

harea/harding

4: notp

cullen/harea

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Harea is left handed, which makes the mark being on her right hand ridiculously wonky, and almost forces her to become ambidextrous by the end of Inquisition.

6: one way in which I relate to this character

She’s very... self-sacrificing, often forgoing what is best for her for instead the good of the people around her.

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Hm. I mean. The Solas romance, even though it’s my favorite, there’s a burning ache of... something when he breaks up with you.

8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

cinnamon roll.

Sah’rel Lavellan

1: sexuality headcanon

pansexual/panromantic.

2: otp

sah’rel/bull

3: brotp

cassandra/sah’rel

4: notp

sah’rel/sera

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

Sah’rel is very thematic, when she chose Falon’Din as her patron for her tattoos, she’s taken to making the rest of her match, as he purchases new weapons and armor, they’re always named after Falon’Din, reminding her of where she came from.

6: one way in which I relate to this character

Big nerd. She’s a history nerd and ridiculously crafty, and like, it’s one of things I definitely chose for her to make her relatable for me.

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

I dunno? Sah’rel is like the reasonable one of my Inquisitors, her and Imani. I’m certain she’d be more embarrassed of me than the other way around.

8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

cinnamon roll.

1) Sylathi giggles at her own toes when she smokes too much elfroot. / 2) Thelrand is prone to staring at his own reflection in shiny objects. / 3) Modern!Tamralan keeps pictures of his kids in his wallet / 4) Runale keeps something of Velriel's with her at all times. / 5) The biggest sign of trust Ematu can give is letting you touch his ears. / 6) Leon gives excellent bear hugs. / 7) Modern!Harea is a Gender Studies major. / 8) Aranehn hates complete silence.

Character Headcanon 

You have an unfair advantage! Haha! You already know so much about my babes, some more than others, but enough to be accurate as fuck as always, my dear.

Sylathi’s favorite pastime is smoking, especially while painting, and I can see her totally geeking out over her toes and end up drawing her toes instead. 

Thelrand is very meticulous about his appearance so in a world where there aren’t many mirrors, someone’s gonna catch him staring at armor just to have a chance to look at himself.

Modern!Tamralan is such a DadTM so he would probably have baby pictures as well as pictures he stole off of Facebook. Don’t tell his children.

I really like this one because I never gave it much thought before, but it’s so adorable, I’m going to accept it. Runale would probably either keep a small trinket - something he whittled, maybe - or wear one of his jackets or a scarf, either around her neck or tied around her waist or something. She loves that boy so much

YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES

Yes, my big bear of a man, Leon, gives the best hugs. The ones that make you feel completely safe and secure.

Harea never featured once in our modern!AU, but I can totally see this. She’s such a tough and determined woman and won’t let any man tell her otherwise.

Yeah, I can see this. But she doesn’t like so much noise either. Background noise is good. Someone breathing. Humming a tune. Listening to the clash of swords as recruits train and spar. Complete silence invites nightmares and doubt.

I really enjoyed reading them! Ah, if you think of anything more, please let me know.

[himb0i]

my fav drawings i’ve done of my inquisitor, harea lavellan, over the last... idk? yearish? i don’t draw her enough and apparently i draw her whole face even less. she’s a solas-smooching rogue baby

[exordiumnoctis]

So I got DAI for the computer finally and now I have my kids (most of them) with proper aesthetics and such and I have never been happier. 

L to R: Theros Lavellan, Athras Harea, and Callixtus Terentius.

Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day

Ink’s Fic Recs

I’ve always wanted to be more supportive of the other creators in the fandom but I’m a slow reader and I have a shit memory. I can’t remember who writes what, what OC belongs to who, or if I’ve read something already. I decided to start tracking the works I was reading as a draft, just for my own reference, so I can participate in ask memes and stuff. But apparently it’s Fic Writer’s Appreciation Day, so I thought I’d share it!

This is no where near a complete list of fic I’ve read or enjoyed, just what I’ve read since I started doing this. I will continue to update it as I read. If you’re a mutual and/or someone who reads my fics please reach out and tell me to read your stuff if you’re not on this list!!

Also I just FINALLY got my AO3 subscription emails to work correctly, so hopefully I can actually start keeping up.

The vast majority of these will be Solavellan.

@blarfkey AO3 Solas/Ellana Lavellan  Dear Fen’Harel is the cutest damn thing. It’s supposed to be inspired by Dear Daddy Long Legs? Which I can only assume is cuter than it sounds, based on this fic. It’s not quite done, but getting close. There’s a museum date chapter that’s to die for.

@broomclosetkink AO3 Solas/Ellana Lavellan and Solas/Harea Lavellan I think this was the first Solavellan fic I ever read, and I’ve gone back to it a dozen times. I was frustrated with the relationship in game and had to google where people did fanfiction these days. NSFT, because that’s definitely was I was looking for at the time x.x

@ellstersmash​ AO3 Solas/Athi Lavellan I’ve only read one of fics so far but it was lovely! Some big Solavellan angst simmered down to give you just as much pain in smaller word counts lol. Great characterization of Solas, and Athi is very fierce.

@elveny AO3 Solas/Lyssa Lavellan (born in an alienage) Her Spark of Hope timeline covers Lyssa’s life from early childhood up to and including Trespasser, and honestly of all the fics I’ve read I think this is the most I’ve ever felt connected with the author through the work. What she chooses to touch or focus on reminds me so much of my own experience in the fandom.

@bardinhightown AO3 Solas/Naia Lavellan A very cute Beauty and the Beast AU set in France, called La Belle et La Bête and set in France. Not quite complete, but almost there. I really like the interpretation of the curse. I think the Lavellans count as human in this one? Open to interpretation I suppose.

@keturagh AO3 Solas/Pangara Lavellan Ket (frequently blamed) is working on a big Lore Meta I’m majorly looking forward to. In the mean time, they have many small fics covering the course of Pangara and Solas’ relationship, from domestic to kinky AF, through the Inquisition timeline.

@luzial AO3  Solas/Ellana Lavellan I powered through Luzial’s (and Maerisk’s) Overgrown faster than I’ve read anything in a long time. Ellana is a reporter and Solas is her expert consultant. No where near complete if I had to guess, but you gotta love a fic with both Enemies to Lovers AND Fake Dating.

@roguelioness tumblr AO3 Solas/Samarra Bayart, Solas/Thalia  and Elise/Cullen A Whole New World is a longfic of a modern woman falling into Thedas, with dark!Solas. Very long, and more to come. For Goodness Bakes is absolutely adorable. She’s also got some Cullen/Trevelyan and some Krem/Maryden. 

@thevikingwoman tumblr AO3 Solas/Iwyn Lavellan One of my best friends in the fandom, Viking has dozens of drabbles, perfect bite size pieces of friendship or romance for when you just need a moment to unwind. She’s got a very gentle Solavellan fix it I recommend. Iwyn is a dom can be found in canon, modern AU, or the ice skating AU!

Afterthought, pt. 1

Solas had always been the solitary type - so he was grateful Lavellan allowed him to choose a quiet corner of Skyhold to conduct his research. She'd laughed when he offered his thanks, insisting he call her Harea. Though, he wasn't getting much solitary time. It seemed whenever he stopped to take a breath the Inquisitor was there to ask if he was okay. Despite not being a mage, she did her best to understand and empathise with a mages viewpoint, and she often consulted him when her decisions could affect them. Solas suspected at first that this came from her mother and sister being the clan First and Second, but later realised that empathy was simply in her nature. He found he began to expect thoughtful suggestions when he happened to muse aloud as he researched. Solas was pleasantly surprised at the exchanges, he could never quite predict how she would respond to a given question. She was his muse, markedly different to any elf he'd ever met. Moreover, Solas was absolutely positive that Harea was smitten with him, too.

That was, until they met in the Fade.

At first Solas was inwardly pleased at the closeness displayed in Harea's manner. He was sure that it was some sort of sign, a discreet declaration of affection. This pattern continued even after they'd reached Haven. The Fade was the realm of the mind, and Solas had traversed it enough to understand how to shield it from reflecting his innermost thoughts. The Haven they were in was Harea's Haven; a projection of all she cherished about the place. It was telling, then, that in this most intimate version of Haven, Harea stopped before the gates to speak to the Inquisition's commander.

"Am I boring you?" Solas asked flatly when she turned away from him mid sentence.

"Of course not! Hold a moment, I need to speak to Cullen," Harea reassured, leaving Solas a little bit displaced.

Cullen. Not "Commander" or "General". Not even "Rutherford".

The encounter itself was short and uneventful, and yet it snaked into the back of Solas's head and refused to be ignored. It wasn't strange that the Commander was in Harea's Haven - he was a big part of the Inquisition after all; it would've been stranger if he wasn't there at all. The Cullen she had spoken to was obviously not real, it was just a construction of Harea's beliefs about him. What was strange though, was Harea's reactions to him. Harea was drawn to him more than any other of her constructs, betrayed in her use of "need". Perhaps she had, before sleeping, recalled an urgent piece of information to tell him? That would explain her noticing a construct despite the presence of Solas; she was certainly conscientious enough for that to be the case. Stop it, Solas chided himself, it was a tiny exchange hardly worth such an analysis. Harea hadn't even noticed she'd done it, even when she'd realised the pair weren't in the real Haven but the Fade.

Jealousy was a sign of a weak mind; Solas knew this. Yet as time passed, the snake in the back of his head grew. Suddenly, Solas was noticing that Harea often stopped to speak to him on her way to the Commander's office, and occasionally on her way back. Unsavoury questions began to swim in his mind; who was the afterthought? Was it Cullen, or was it him? Solas didn't want to know. He hated the anxiety that bubbled in him, swelling in his chest to the point he couldn't breathe. It did not take very long before the torturous feeling forced him to seek the answer in the Fade. Harea was not difficult to find - the pressures of being Inquisitor weighed on her constantly, and much of her stress bled into her dreams. When he came across her she was pacing in the war room, staring tentatively at the map.

Rajmahel Headcanon: Elera

Overview: 

Elera is Rajmahel’s young daughter. Her physical features are her skin tone is slightly lighter than her father’s, with a similar eye color to her father, and darker blonde, curly hair. She’s around 5 years old when Rajmahel leaves Clan Lavellan to go to the Conclave at the beginning of 9:41. During the first six months of the Inquisition, Elera stays with her grandparents and aunt, Idrilla, with clan Lavellan. But when Rajmahel finds Skyhold and repairs begin, requests both his sister and daughter to come stay at the castle. She remains there throughout Inquisition, and Rajmahel gladly takes breaks from his work as Inquisitor to spend time with her.

(Please note I headcanon the events of Inquisition take place from the first month of 9:41 to the last month of 9:42, to allow for travel time between places. The very beginning is around 6 months and then after they reach Skyhold, is about a year and a half.)

Personality:

Elera’s a clever 5-6 year old, who’s not shy at all. She’s very outgoing and more than willing to meet anyone new. She will voice her thoughts and opinions, even if they are not filtered as she doesn’t have the experience to know how to filter her remarks. She’s generally a happy child who’s overly curious and loves to go on adventures, even if that adventure is just across the camp. She has a big imagination and a big heart and loves to share both with people.

Her mother:

Harea and Rajmahel grew up in Clan Lavellan together and were friends. They had some romantic interest in each other, but not anything to great due to her being a hunter and his studies as the Keeper’s First. Yet it was arranged for them to be bondmates, they decided to spend more time with each other than just playful, friendly flirtations. Harea was a very pretty elf, with blond hair and green eyes, fair skin and freckles. She had sophisticated features and a mirthful smirk that promised a playful prank or two. This, matched with Rajmahel’s own personality, made them actually forge a strong romance and they were bonded. Shortly after, Harea became pregnant with their first child and Rajmahel was ecstatic. Despite a difficult pregnancy, Harea gave birth to a healthy girl. With the good news, there was bad news as well. Harea’s health declined after Elera’s birth and neither the Keeper or Rajmahel could do anything to help her. She died a few weeks after Elera’s birth, leaving Rajmahel and his family to raise Elera.

hmmm feelin dragon age rpg rn so

Fen: he may have died in game, but in his canon he’s having a great time. He’s keeper of his clan, one of his younger sisters is first, he’s got a big buff bf named Tarsyl. Shits good. I’m proud of him.

Harea, my current da rpg oc, and Fen’s mama: she’s got a lot going on rn. Dealing w the loss of her son. An attack on their clan left them with low numbers. She’s a v traditional dalish, and the rest of her clan wants to just join this avvar clan they’d been living near/with for the last couple years. One of her young daughters is a mage and is now left with no one to teach her. So she takes her family and heads to Ostagar which King Alistair had given to the dalish, in hopes of finding a new clan. This lil family of 4 joins clan Lavellan. And Harea’s got some new info that this man she’s after who’s fucked up so many peoples lives is still doing it and she’s just getting angrier and angrier. There’s just a lot on her plate and she’s very good at burying it and I think she might explode one day......

Uhh some new lore came out for destiny for the winter event and man. Keye was definitely one of the guardians that’s a dick to uldren. The rest of his fireteam/family intervenes n stuff but yeah. RIP in pieces uldren.
