#i am invested in a dragon age au now haha (((':

[galedekarios]

i was talking about this with my friend @evenstar-crescentmoon, but we were both thinking about how gale would fit into the dragon age universe while talking about how he'd probably get along with emmrich, particularly now with veilguard coming out soon.

so this then got us to thinking:

feel free to elaborate in the replies or reblogs. 🖤

my ideas so far:

shadow dragon!gale, an eccentric but respected mage of the tevinter imperium, part of the dekarios clan, using his standing to try and better the world around him - some say a mistake in his past made is what makes him want to do so. i think he'd be not so dissimilar to dorian and his story in inquisition.

but my personal favourite idea was grey warden mage!gale, who has been recruited after he came in contact with a blighted magical artefact and the situation spiralled out of control from there. he was conscripted in the aftermath to save his life. he has learned to be at peace with his lot, striving to protect the world and those dear to him from the blight and from himself - even as the artefact left behind something: a slow corruption that might end his life before the calling does.

🌻 DND FANTASY YESSSSS ive been having like a major baldur's gate 3 brainrot and i was like. why not make a fantasy au with genshin. it might be fun. so i did! i honestly love any kind of fantasy but the traditional one just has a charm??? it is nice?? maybe because i was always a big fan of fantasy movies when a kid. either way it's a rly exciting thought and i will tag u <3

i was also thinking abt making this au... free to. use?? as in??? u can write for it or just make content and ill be very much happy AJJHDJFS it will be a BIG au so why not share it with everyone else!!

i already have a list of all races i want to have, some... starter lore, short nations characterizations, how archons and magic works here, four subtypes of elves... i am Thinking. Thonking even. brain brrrrr

YEAHH it really does have it's charm. i've been deeply invested in dragon age: inquisition lately. got the game of the year edition on sale for 10 dollars which was an absolute WIN.... i've dipped my toes--so to speak--in mamy different flavors of fantasy over the years. i just really like fantasy, such a great genre in all it's forms tbh!!

(...my favorite movie as a child was how to train your dragon. and tbh that still is one of my favorites. so. LMAO. i also grew up in an enviornment in which my parents were always watching or talking about things like pirates of the caribbean [if that counts?!?!?!], the vampire diaries, twilight, supernatural, lucifer... that kind of thing. so. perhaps that's why! i also was a wizard101 player as a little kid HAHA

though i did miss out on dnd style fantasy media specifically in my childhood. it's regrettable BUT i am happy to consume that media now. the exception, however, would be the game diablo 3. i played that game like... my whole life. still do sometimes if i'm not playing diablo 4 or dai <3)

OHH THAT'S AWESOME you totally should!! it would be reasonable to ask that the people who create content for it credit you for the au, though!!

that is SO awesome i hope your brain is always producing good and wonderful thoughts fr

WIP List

I was tagged by @maybetheyrefireproof and @allwaswell16 to do this, so let’s find the actual rules thingy and do it! haha

List all the things you’re currently working on in as much or little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. This can be writing, art, vids, gifsets, whatever.

Thanks for the tag! to save everyone i’m putting in a read more because this got far too long and i’d say i’m sorry, but i’m not really so deal with it lollll

R1 Love - okay so like...i love greg james, scott mills, and grimmy. i just do. i listen to greg and scott’s podcasts as often as i can and they make me smile when i’m having a bad day. i then started to imagine harry coming out to his mum because he saw her reaction to scott coming out and knew she’d be supportive and how that would have him cling to the r1 dj’s even more, but like, what if he had a crush on greg and then, because he’s a regular listener that greg gave a “job” to for the podcast, got invited to go and tour the studios and thought his dream of meeting greg was coming true only to meet his gorgeous intern louis??? so yeah. this is basically gonna be a massive ode to the r1 djs, mostly greg and his podcast peeps, and a bunch of silliness cause i can. it’ll be part of the 1000 feelings challenge whenever i finish it.

Wibbly Wobbly 2 - AKA Back to How it Was’ sequel hehehe people seem to be interested and invested in what happened with other harry and other louis. where was other harry while our harry was there in his universe? does he remember anything? did he go back to the morning that our harry woke up there and have to recreate the magic? what was he up to while our harry was there? all these questions will be answered, as well as WHAT HAPPENED WITH LOUIS in the sequel. i’m actually doing this one in part with @1dfanworksforcharity so be sure to check out the blog and see how you can bid as well as more details for what all i’m offering in my creator post here.

Soulmates Famous/Non-Famous AU - this one is actually also going to be part of the @1dfanworksforcharity as well, if people want it (i hope you do). the basic idea of this one is the world is black and white until you have seen your soulmate, EXCEPT there’s a caveat. pictures don’t work for this, but video/tv does. imagine louis’ surprise when he’s watching graham norton one night and looks up to see what exactly that famous singer harry styles looks like anyway and his world bursts into color as soon as a handsome face with dimples and beautiful, bright eyes comes on the screen. even more surprising is when harry’s performing at one of his outdoor shows in london and when he goes to the side of the stage to get closer to the audience, his world also becomes flooded with color. the fic will be all about the mishaps, journey, and adventure of them trying to find one another. if you win this one in the charity auction, you’ll be able to help give some plotpoints and ideas for things you want included in the fic that i’ll do my very best to create for you :)

Fantasy AU - i have had to shorten this title because dragon/hedgehog witch au was getting too complicated and didn’t fit in the small space of my to do list lol see harry unintentionally pissed off a witch one night and was turned into a dragon only to find the witch had disappeared and there wasn’t any way for him to get himself turned back. he starts going in search of the white witch that is rumored to be on the other side of the kingdom who sometimes, with her kind heart, turns back the spells of this particularly moody witch. on his journey he meets a hedgehog who goes by the name of louis, a bird with a broken wing named niall, and a mouse named liam. will the white witch be able to turn them back? if the white witch can, will she do actually do it? and will the bond between these four that was forged during this journey be enough to cross class and background if they are? no idea when this one will be finished tbh, but i keep getting more and more inspiration for it so what was going to originally only be a few thousand words is turning out to look like it could possibly be my big bang for next year lolll

Stealing Flowers AU - so the amazing @harrehleh showed me a prompt hahaha and it all comes from this photo:

basically louis has been crushing on dimples with the hair for ages, but he can never seem to get the guts to talk to him. he doesn’t want to bother him on the tube, but they almost always catch the same train home and get off at the same stop. one day, louis starts seeing signs posted with what he knows to be dimples’ back photographed and the accusation that he’s been stealing flowers from people’s gardens. louis feels awful and finally gets the courage to talk to harry after seeing the signs, but things are never quite as they seem.

Attention Famous/Non Famous - y’all are probably sick of my wips list already, aren’t you? i’ve got so many. i promise i’m almost done. there’s a reason i have an actual list for this lol anyway, this is based off the song attention. harry is a famous actor who just broke up with his up and coming model boyfriend. his ex is taking advantage of the fact it’s near the debut of harry’s newest film and trash talking him to industry people and everyday people alike at the parties. harry keeps hearing the bullshit and when he sees his ex at a party one night, decides to get back at him. louis, meanwhile, is struggling because his hours just got cut at his main job and his secondary was only seasonal so he has to find supplementary income. his bestie niall invites him to get in on the catering for some of the industry parties and when it turns out he isn’t needed at one of them, he’s given permission to mingle at the club. he never thought he’d end up dancing with harry styles to help him get back at his ex boyfriend.

Sneaky Tube Pic - so essentially harry sees this person who is so hot on the tube and his friends don’t believe the person he’s describing actually exists so he finally works up the courage to try to take a sneaky pic and prove it. harry thinks he got away with it, but as louis gets off at his stop, he slips harry a slip of paper with his number on it and a wink. hehe

Larried in Vegas WIP - this one has been sitting in my pocket for seriously over a year. still unfinished. because i keep getting distracted with fics like the ones i’ve listed above, but i swear this is the last one. anyway. louis wins tickets to the BBMAs and since he’s obsessed with zayn malik, who is PERFORMING, he jumps at the chance and drags his best friend, liam, with him. liam is less than enthusiastic, but that’s fine, because while there they meet harry and niall. since they’re seated beside each other for the awards, they get to know each other well and by the end of the night decide to go clubbing together. when in vegas, right? their night takes an unexpected turn when they accidentally land at the club where zayn malik himself is hosting a private party. when they wake up the next morning not remembering anything past meeting zayn, they have to piece together the night’s events via social media posts, trending tags on twitter, and the videos/photos on their phones. hehe

AND THAT’S IT! *bangs head on desk* i know. eight fics. it’s a lot. sigh. BUT i’m excited for them all. OH SHIT I FORGOT ONE!

older kid fic - i saw a prompts post about wanting kid fics but where the kids are older, and i’m super excited for this one, though i dunno that i’ll ever finish it. i love the idea but have no idea where it’ll go lollll harry’s got a 16 year old daughter who has a newfound love of drama. he goes to attend her final monologue performance for her class, and finds out that she might have told him to come because she secretly wants to set him up with her unfairly beautiful drama teacher, mr tomlinson.

OKAY FOR REAL THAT’S IT. sigh. anyway. i have no more official deadlines, so i’ll be writing as i am able and when inspired, which is FABULOUS. please help me stay inspired by talking to me about them? that helps. hahaha

okay! so now i’m gonna tag...i have no idea who has already done this??? how about... @tommosgun, @laynefaire, @larryandgaystuff, @haloeverlasting, and @londonfoginacup, and @comebackassholes haha i’m sorry if you’ve already been tagged i love you all

Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day

Yesterday was a special day. Fandom would be nothing without fanfiction after all. They are the ones who inspire us, give their precious time to tell us wonderfull stories, make us cry or laugh or hide our phone screen from others. Their stories keep us awake until 4 am. 

I already did a fanfiction recommendation post and another fic masterpost. This time I wanted to thank some of my closest friends, who also happen to be very talented writers, for being amazing. So in alphabetical order:

@bisexualryder (ao3) I know you have a writer block but this doesn’t mean I cannot appreciate you and your amazing writing ;D You are wonderful and such an enabler. Everything is always more fun with you around, wife. You made me feel welcome in Dragon Age fandom. 

@elidoo (ao3) aka my partner in crime. I’m so glad I have charmed you (with my lovable personality hehe) more then two years ago. Thank you for telling wonderful story and making me fall for Dorian x Inquisitor (; You’re terribly dull and I hate you and I simply cannot wait for our next projects hehehe

@glamoroustrashmage (ao3) another one responsible for getting me into Dorianmance ;D I blame the amazing story of Gabriel and Dorian. You are a dear friend and I'm grateful for the help with shaping Felix as a character. I wouldn't want to co-parent our digital child with anyone else.

@jessicapendragon (ao3) gosh Jess, you're way too cool for me haha wish we could meet more than once per year but I will take every chance. Also I love when you go all dark and angsty in your stories. I never felt so invested in a fic like I was with Bloodlines.

@lafaiette (ao3) I fell in love with your metas and headcanons but totally stayed for Scarlet. You are such a positive and supportive person. If I ever visit Rome I hope you will show me around ;D

@littlemissfundip (fics link) your raphril stories made me fell in love with your writing and now that you got into DA I couldn’t be happier. Your AUs always brings a huge smile on my face!

@thevalesofanduin (ao3) we know each other since hobbit days and even tho our fandoms are different at the moment you continue to be amazing. I really can’t wait for our next meeting and movie session (:

Thank you for being you and I hope you feel appreciated every single day of the year <3
