#if you don't like Shaladin please don't read

[mosscreeperarchived]

Okay it's probably about time I make a pinned!

Hi there! I'm Z, 24 y/o bi trans man writing the queer romance I want to see in the world. You can find me on AO3 here. I almost exclusively write queer sci-fi fics and here you'll mostly find Mass Effect and Voltron content.

I write mostly canon compliant with occasional minor tweaks which are noted in the tags. For all my works and series, I also try to write all my smut scenes/fics in a way that they can be skipped over without losing too much context from the larger narrative to make them friendly for people who just want the narrative bits. I ask that minors limit their interactions with my content in general and do NOT engage with any of my 18+ content, particularly my fics rated M and E. In short, reader discretion is advised.

Please note that, while I try to update my works on a regular schedule, I am disabled so things happen. Currently, my father is also in and out of the hospital as well. All updates for delays can be found tagged as “#mosscreeper updates”.

Ranking the VLD ships I know!

Warning for a "hated" tier, if you know you have a Voltron ship that upsets you to see it hated by someone, don't read this! Nothing on here is personal towards anyone and their ship tastes, this is just what I like.

I'm only on Season 2 Episode 8 and this is my first time watching Voltron! No spoilers please! Everything is romantically shipped except in the "love it nonromantically" tier.

OTP and actively ship it: Klance OTP for character: Shiro x Adam, Hunk x Shay Love: Coran x Shiro, Slav x Shiro Like: Matt x Shiro, Alfor x Coran Love it nonromantically, i.e., familially or platonically--the relationship is just important to me: Shallura (platonic), Allurance (platonic), Coran & Allura (familial), Coran & the Paladins (familial/platonic), all the Paladins with each other (familial/platonic), Sheith (familial), Shance (familial/platonic), Allura & the Paladins (familial/platonic), Hance (platonic), Shaladin (familial/platonic) Dislike: Allurance, Pidge x anyone (I headcanon him as aro)

Hate: Allura x anyone (due to her ambiguous age/I headcanon her as aroace), Shaladin, Sheith, anything I listed as familial in the "love it nonromantically" section, any ships with Keith that aren't with Lance, any ships with Lance that aren't with Keith

A Blue CatAstrophe Ch.2

Fluffy yet angsty :) enjoy!

Ch.1

Pidge didn't know what to make of the tiny, shorthaired kitten in her arms. She cradled it close and carried it out of Blue, and was surprised when the Lion made a growl of faint protest, but settled back down. Probably misses her pilot, the Green Paladin mused to herself as she made her way from the hangars. Keith was attempting to console Shiro and Hunk, as they both had really cared about Lance. Pidge missed him too, he was like a brother to her. He couldn't take Matt's place, but he did try his best to treat her right, even if she snapped at him. She deflated at that thought. Maybe if she hadn't been such a brat, or had been a little more kind to him, maybe he wouldn't have blown up at the meeting this morning.

She remembered them all taking off after Lance once they'd felt the intense pain coming through the Paladin Bond, vividly recalling the fear she'd felt when they heard Blue's panicked roar as they landed on-planet, and knew something was wrong. Green had pinpointed the location and Black and Yellow took off immediately, the others close behind. She remembered gasping and hearing the “Holy quiznak...” from Keith over the comms as they came upon a field of blue-white iced flowering trees, covering everything within a ten-mile radius from the center, which was where Blue was curled up in on herself, like she was shielding something from the outside. Her particle barrier was up, too.

Pidge had to use her plant beam to grow vines over Blue's barrier so that Black and Yellow could tow her back to the Castle. But Blue had refused to open up once in her Hangar, even when faced with Black. Was Lance really that upset? But then Black stopped growling and made a very concerning noise, and Green suddenly showed her a terrifying image; an empty, blood splattered cockpit and a ripped up jacket scattered into pieces all over the floor and a familiar voice screaming in pain. Black, Yellow and Red must have shown the others the same thing, because Shiro was calling for Lance with a desperate voice she didn't even know the Black Paladin even possessed.

The sick feeling of dread in her stomach evolved into nausea once they'd gotten inside and found that the pilot seat was exactly as it was in the image; smears and drops of blood scattered over the leathery fabric and dashboard, and Lance's jacket and clothes, torn to pieces and tossed about like confetti. She felt her body go cold and the blood in her face drain away. Lance wasn't here. Her brother figure was gone. This was almost like when Shiro had gone missing, but worse because they had proof that Lance was hurt during whatever had happened to him, and possibly alive because there wasn't enough blood to signify that he'd been killed.

Then she'd heard the mewing, and stepped closer to find the source, and ended up with this kitten. The poor thing seemed exhausted, already asleep and faintly purring, tucked into the crook of her arm. She traced the light brown swirls all over the tiny felines back, the soft purr she got in response was enough for her lips to tug up in a faint smile. She took it to the main control room, where Allura was waiting. “Well? Did you find Lance?” The Princess demanded, looking faintly pale and concerned, Coran hovering nearby, which was understandable since he and Lance were very close, like a space uncle and his nephew, best friends. Pidge shook her head sadly. “No… we found his jacket and his clothes that were all torn up...and,” She swallowed thickly around the sudden lump in her throat. “Blood. There wasn't a lot, but there was enough to indicate he'd been pretty badly injured by whatever got to him before we did… the place where we found Blue was covered in ice. Blue didn't look hurt at all, so we don't really understand what happened other than something took Lance and Blue freaked out enough to use her ice cannon...” She explained, shifting the sleeping kitten in her arms a little.

Allura deflated visibly, Coran's face also falling into one of devastation. “So then, Lance is currently missing and we have no idea what happened other than what you have just told me… and what is that you are holding? Is that a dangerous creature, and where did you get it from?” She asked, straightening up and staring at the fluffball curiously, though it was tinged with sadness. “Oh, it's something we have on Earth. It's a kitten, sort of like a lion but very tiny and less deadly and we keep them as pets because of how cute they are, and also because they provide comfort...” Pidge said, motioning Allura closer with her free hand and guiding the Altean's hand down the soft fur along the spine of the sleeping feline, Allura smiling softly as she felt the warm life under her palms.

Pidge noted the sound of the other Paladins entering the room behind her, and spoke up again. “I was thinking about calling him Azul. I checked earlier, it's a boy. We did find him in the Blue Lion, and he's got blue eyes, and Lance was- is Cuban, so…” She trailed off as Keith moved closer, gently rubbing his finger along the base of Azul's right ear, scratching gently. The corner of his mouth twitched up and he nodded at Pidge. “Azul… means Blue in Spanish, right? I think it's a good name.” The Red Paladin murmured, still upset over the loss of his friend and teammate.

Hunk voiced agreement from behind her, and Shiro merely hummed quietly to acknowledge it. “I think we should all go get some rest. Tomorrow, we shall return to the ice field where you found the Blue Lion and try to find any clues as to where Lance could have gone.” Allura spoke, returning to General Mode. Pidge nodded and made her way to her room, still cradling Azul. “Alright Azul, I think a quick nap is in order after today.” She whispered, smiling at the ear twitch the baby kitty gave in return. She opened her door and walked over to sit on the bed, curling up around the tiny life in her arms, placed her glasses on the dresser next to her mattress, and drifted off.

Pidge woke up, slightly disoriented, and sat up, looking around. No kitten in sight. Then, had it been a dream…? Lance was still here, right? Making jokes and laughing and grumbling at her to go to bed after she'd been up 'til midnight working on a lead to find her lost family and-

A mew shook her out of her thoughts, and a tiny paw, the pads slightly cool and rubbery, patted her cheek from her other side. Oh. Azul had moved above her head. That's why she hadn't seen him. Her face felt wet. Oh, she was crying. Sniffling, she scooped up the little ball of fluff and cried into his chocolate colored fur. “I- I miss Lance.” She choked out, as Azul mewed worriedly.

She cried for a little while before settling into soft hiccups and sniffles. Azul purred in concern and butted his head against her cheek, and she smiled and ran her hands over his fur. It was soft and silky and reminded her of that one time she'd gone on a school field trip to a chocolate factory where she'd seen factory workers mix the dark cocoa mix with milk and sugar and stirred it until it was milk chocolate, light brown and smooth.

Azul's back looked like a pot of chocolate in the middle of mixing, dark and light brown swirls all over and trailed off into straight stripes towards his middle and legs, and a pale soft brown underbelly. “I would have named you Cocoa, but Azul seemed a better choice because we found you in Blue's cockpit.” Pidge said, holding the kitten up in front of her so that her own golden brown eyes could lock onto those ocean blue ones. Azul tipped his head to the side and chirped at the Green Paladin, tail swishing. She set him down and patted around for her glasses, rubbing her eyes.

Azul jumped up on her dresser and batted the frames towards her searching hand, and she smiled gratefully at the little creature. “Thanks Azul. I think we should see what we can feed you, since there isn't exactly any space cat food around for you to have.” She said, scooping him up and moving off towards the kitchen, where Hunk would hopefully have something for their new addition to eat.

// im leaving this here, since chapter 3 is more Lance POV feat Shiro! Did I do okay with Pidge's POV? I hope I did. This is slightly fluffy and a lot more angsty than planned, but oh well! Hope you enjoyed~!

[heroes-never-discourse]

(non-bkdk anon)also I want to clarify what I mean by Victuuri is canon - I don't watch the show and have only seen clips and read interview translations and according to those and the fans, it's real but there are many people who still don't believe it and think the kiss is fake and the rings don't mean anything, etc. I'm not a fan but I believe it is canon based on the facts brought up by fans. I kinda feel weird having an opinion of shows and ships I'm not into though...

Oh yeah, I know allllll about the Victuuri discourse. I wasn’t in discourse back then, but I got into the YOI fandom around episode 10 so I was fully surrounded by the “did they kiss or not” “are they engaged or not” discourse. There was a lot of like, people drawing over the kiss to show that with how close their faces were it was like, physically impossible for them to not be kissing, meta about the crowd reactions and stuff, lots of meta on the rings, it was frustrating times lmao.

Everyone’s so used to being queerbaited that when we’re given what is by all accounts a partially censored kiss and an actual literal proposal there are still people frothing at the mouth to call it fake. it’s not Victuuri is canon if one of them were a girl their romance would be indisputable PLEASE just let the shippers have this and stop being so fucking cynical, it’s been two years jfc

Eh, I’ve got tons of opinions on shows and ships I’m not into. Klance, Shaladin, and Voltron used to be some of them lmfao. Feels weird but so long as you mooooostly stay in your lane you’re fine. And anyway no one but you will ever know you’re not actually into a piece of media unless you tell them.

[dent-de-leon]

You can give an opinion without being an arsehole, mate. Also, I just read that 'broganes' was headcanoned by an Asian, so are they racist too? I'm not 'trying to win an argument', I'm genuinely confused. I've searched for it on here, but I can only find people arguing against it being racist. Most people I've seen who think of them as siblings isn't because they 'look similar' (which they don't), but because of how they act.

Okay, let’s break this down. First off, I know who the first person that came up with the bro/ganes headcanon was. I’ve been in this fandom a long time, practically since the show aired, and I honestly have a better understanding of fandom trends than a lot of other people since I saw it all firsthand right from the beginning. So, again–I know who the first person that came up with the term was. Yes, they were Asian. And I also know that it was 1) intended to be a “fun AU” for them based off their own personal experiences with their sibling, that they based it off that, and 2) it was meant to be an AU, not canon–which is how many antis took it–and it was also never meant to bash other ships or trivialize Shiro and Keith’s relationship. 

It was a fun personal project for them, and it wasn’t meant to be used as a tool to harass others. Guess what happened anyway. Just guess. Bro/ganes might have started out as something innocuous and innocent, but antis clung to it and things very quickly went off the rails. And just because some Asian fans liked the idea, you literally cannot change the fact that I’ve heard multiple others express their concerns on just why the subject was so upsetting for them. You cannot separate this term from the inherently racist connotations built up and emphasized by antis over the years. You cannot. The person who invented bro/ganes didn’t mean for it to get out of hand and be used by antis to hurt others like that, so please don’t try to play them like some kind of trump card or drag their name through the mud. 

And if you want to see firsthand just how detrimental bro/ganes is, Barlee very innocently posted an artwork of Shiro and Keith calling them “bros.” Antis went wild over it, and she then deleted the comments. People were like, “hey, why’d she delete the comments?” And antis started making up bullshit like, “oh, she probably did it because evil shaladins were bothering her, because they were upset about bro/gans!!” And then Barlee literally made a post saying that, actually, she deleted it because she didn’t want antis harassing shaladins and running away with the whole bro/ganes bullshit like they literally always do. When you have fans literally harassing the staff over this nonsense, it’s gone too fucking far:

Copying and pasting a brief history of bro/ganes here from my other post in case you didn’t see it:

I’m not sure how many of you were around for this, but I was here well before season 2. And the bro/ganes crap absolutely predates that (BOM) line. By a lot. I’m talking like practically the beginning. They’ve literally always been like this. Hunk saying the other paladins are his brothers convieniently never gets mentioned, but antis zeroed in on that one out of context line, because that’s how they are. They were ready for any scrap that they could wave in our faces and scream about like children somehow “proving” their nonexistent point.

And if you’re saying there’s weight to the line with Keith and Shiro, then you must also acknowledge there was considerable weight to Allura’s words when she called Keith and the other paladins her family. That was a heavy scene, there’s no way around it. It’s even followed by this embrace and words of affirmation. And yet, how interesting antis fixated on one scene with Keith and found family but not the other.

The facts are these–antis have always been uncomfortable with Shiro and Keith being so close. Because the easy intimacy there felt very tangible and real. Because it wasn’t k/l. I was there when the first trailer for season 2 came out, the one with Shiro calling out for Keith at the end. The one where Shiro tells Keith to lead Voltron. Do you know what antis were saying at the time? They were pissed that Keith and Shiro were so close and it would be a “sheith season.” We’re talking before this thing even aired. How dare Keith care so much about Shiro. Where was Lance? The nerve. 

People literally said they hoped Shiro would die because then sheith could never happen. I can’t even begin describe the very visceral hatred that people had for his character at this time–because Keith had the audacity to careabout Shiro, and it drove them fucking wild. As part of some mass delusion, people arbitrarily claimed it would be a “choice” between Lance or Shiro dying–because Lan/gst and everything must be about Lance. And there were posts and posts of people saying that they would throw Shiro off a cliff for Lance’s sake in a heartbeat and how if it’s between them they hope Shiro gets killed. 

People kept trying to rationalize it by insisting the only canonically mentally ill character needed to die because he was too traumatized to lead, because he wasn’t good enough for the team. He had to step down and give Lance his time. It wasn’t until antis had that one out of context BOM line to latch onto that they finally breathed a sigh of relief and went, “look, look bro/ganes is canon!!! We’re safe!!!” And suddenly no one said he had to die right away. In their mind, sheith was “dead,” and that was just as good as killing Shiro. It’s pretty sick. 

The bottom line is this–people have always hated sheith’s relationship and have been frantically looking for ways to undermine it. Bro/ganes–even right at the start–very quickly turned into fans going all conspiracy theory, making very racist assumptions without any evidence to back it up. “They look similar, they must be related!” “Keith’s last name in GoLion was Kogane, which sounds like Shirogane!! So they’re related!!” Is that how last names work? No, not in the fucking least. Did they neglect to mention Lance’s was Kurogane? Absolutely. 

Anyway, moving on–“They’re both Asian, so obviously, they’re brothers!! That’s why they’re so close, it all makes sense!!” You know what else is pretty upsetting to me? That you have tons of teenage girls fetishizing the k/l rivalry–because someone harassing another guy is apparently hot–but then immediately showing disgust when you have two guys actually expressing mutual love and support. 

The fact is, they used bro/ganes as an excuse to make Shiro and Keith’s relationship more “palatable” because they were personally uncomfortable seeing two guys so close, so obviously open and affectionate. And not in a way that was ever staged as fan service, not in a way with juvenile love/hate “sexual tension” played up to titillate an outside audience. Instead, Shiro and Keith’s interactions are very much heartfelt and organic. Interesting how apparently more guys like she/ith than k/l. 

Anyway, the most striking thing of all here is you keep saying I’m giving shallow reasons and that “it’s just racist because I say so,” like…you’re literally missing the entire point here, which is that, it doesn’t fucking matter what I think. This isn’t about you winning an argument with me. I cannot and I can never decide what’s racist to actual Asian fans, this is about their feelings on the matter, not mine. And if you don’t acknowledge that this is a term that’s been steeped in racist connotations and used to harass others for months and months now, then I literally don’t know what to tell you. Also, “You can give your opinions without being an asshole.” You already called me a dick, mate. You don’t have to pretend to be polite now, it’s okay. 

This isn’t an issue I’ll ever budge on, so I really don’t know what you’re expecting here. But it’s not about me, it’s never been about me and my feelings. You can open up and listen to others who are personally affected by the matter. Please understand these are my final thoughts on the subject, and nothing you can say will change it for me.

Your blog is such a lifeline for me. I'm a multishipper, shipping both Shaladin and Laith, and I try so hard not to fall into negative anti-Klance patterns because I don't want to be like that. It's so hard though, when I see how Klantis act, the things they say about Shaladins. It really upsets me and I can't help but want to lash out against them and the ship. So I go to your blog and it helps me chill, (most of the time, I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I fail and fall into toxic thoughts)

heyheyhey!! im so glad i can be a place you can go to when you’re feeling down, that really makes my day tbh... :’)

one thing that might help is dropping the term klanti? i did it for myself and it’s definitely helped me to separate the good laithers from the antis. i personally think the word klanti allows their behavior, which is utterly atrocious and should be called out for what it is, to hide behind the mask of shipping. while yes, this is definitely a ship war, their actions go beyond the scope of petty, trivial, shipping things. their bullying tactics should be acknowledged as anti behavior. yes, many of them happen to ship klance, but letting them hide behind that makes it easier to dismiss their behavior as just ‘dumb kid doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about’ instead of addressing it with the gravity it deserves. people shouldn’t be able to talk about breaking someone’s wrists with no remorse, that’s not shipping, that’s straight up horrifying.

you don’t HAVE to drop the word of course, it helped me, but it might not help everyone, so do what you think is best for you!

and hey, don’t feel bad sometimes you fall into not so great patterns. i won’t lie, i get angry too, i get angry a lot. sometimes i fall into similar mindsets. i think anger is a valid emotion and reaction, don’t feel bad for getting angry. i don’t even ship shaladin and i can’t even tell you how angry i get from reading what some of these people say. i used to actually be very into discourse as a result, but over time i realized that it was having a negative impact on me personally and decided to start using my anger as fuel to keep creating positive spaces and great fanworks. if i can make someone smile and forget about the antis for a little while i consider it a job well done! however, sometimes that doesn’t always work. sometimes i too say and do shit i definitely regret. i’m not a perfect person, and neither is anyone else, so don’t hold yourself to a perfectly impossible standard.

you seem to be a very kind and genuine person, i wouldn’t want to see you beating yourself up for your emotions. emotions are involuntary reactions to our experiences, so they’re a lot like bleeding. you shouldn’t feel bad for how you feel, because in the end the only person your emotions effect is yourself. in truth it is how you react to your emotions that speaks about who you are as a person, and from what you’ve told me you seem to have a pretty good understanding of yourself and your emotions and reactions! even if you mess up and do react poorly that’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s a time to learn, ‘how can i do better next time?’ so again, don’t feel so bad!

another piece of advice i’d have to decide how much discourse you really want to see on your dash. is it really worth getting angry over so much? like i said, i personally found that it wasn’t, but that’s just for me. i can’t really say if you should continue looking at discourse or not, i think that’s for every person to decide for themselves. it’s important to be aware of what’s going on, but it’s also important to be aware of yourself. for me personally i just found that a lot of discourse felt the same, it just came in different packaging. i think that since taking a couple of huge steps back from it (which were HARD TO TAKE) i’ve made myself a lot happier here. im still veyr much aware of wht’s going on though, i just don’t see it on my dash as much and that’s helped me to enjoy the fandom more. again, that’s just my personal experience, so please think hard and make your own decisions very carefully! i can’t tell you how to think, you’re the best judge of you!

again, thank you for coming and talking to me about this, i love hearing from you guys and im glad i can be a safe place for you! don’t let the ants swarm you, just keep sailing your own sea!

[clayaffinity]

I have a question about the safe voltron server for over 18s. Is there a reason to list our triggers if they are stuff you wouldn't expect to see in a safe server anyway? I don't really want people to know I'm triggered by certain things and i don't want a list of my triggers attached to my url on a form somewhere. Do you have ideas of rules for the server?

hello!

i understand where you’re coming from! the list of triggers aren’t attached to you, more like there is a list where everyone’s triggers are listed!!! no one will know who exactly is triggered by what, but they will have access to a list of what to avoid saying!!!

about it being on a form online, you can leave the trigger section blank, and if you’re added to the server you can see what the list is and dm me if there is something i need to add!!

the rules of the server are:

“1. You can’t ship shaladin (shallura included), piladin, lotor x paladin, ect. if we find that someone here is shipping any of the listed, they will be removed from the server!2. Read and respect the #triggers_list! if you want to talk about something that falls on any of the triggers listed please go to #tw_convo or #tw_vent!!3. We will allow talk of discourse on this server, but if it becomes too heated and leads to just screaming at each other please dm each other about it or cool off before continuing. If an argument escalates we will have to turn off the #discourse channel for a bit4. no ace discourse”

[a-gay-bloodmage]

Can you do "ZAMBONI" for the letter asks? (And the prompt for Z could be like "first kiss" or something if you don't want to find one)(also sorry zamboni is long but I couldn't think of another word besides that one x))

Thank you so much for the asks! This got a really long, so I had to put it under a read more link! Anyway, thanks again! These were super fun to answer, like always~! 

((Also oh my god ZAMBONI was so fun to write god bless))

From this post!

A- Ships that you currently like a lot

ZevWarden and Morriana, totally. Of course ZevWarden, because like, of course I love Zevran and my Warden! And Morriana because of their in-game dynamic and THE DRESS IN INQUISITION GIVES ME MY QUEER L I F E

B- A pairing you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind

Morrigan x Warden. By someone, I kind of mean myself, because I was planning out my games, and was like shit I need to pair someone with Morrigan and thus, Orest was born and as he developed, I got into the ship!

I- Has Tumblr made you dislike any fandom?

Fucking VOLTRON, DUDE. I hate how fucking extra everyone is, and, controversial opinion here, the Shaladin ships disgust me. I’m not going to harass anyone over it, but I really don’t like them. But the other shippers are just as bad trying to pull out these “"receipts”“ and harassing the VAs. I follow some discourse-free blogs, which is nice, but still…

M- A character you’d like to have as a friend!

Leliana! Both of us have stuff in common, like our sexualities and our views on religion for the most part ^^ I think she’d be really nice to talk to and shop with!

N- Three things you want to see more of in your main fandom

I wish I saw more Morriana and Zevran x Human Mage! I see A LOT of Leliwarden and Zevran x Mahariel/Tabris/Surana, but not much Amell/Cousland fanart or fanfictions! Let my husband love some humans! ♡♡ (Does it count if I say I also want to see more notes on my fanfictions?)

O- Chose a song at random. What character or pairing does it remind you of?

Dear River by Kina Grannis SO reminds me of Zevran! Specifically, my Warden to Zevran, because of the lyrics. I, in terms of my Warden, really feel like the song is about Zevran, coming along and just sweeping him off his feet. And the feeling, in the beginning of their time together, felt so temporary I can’t help but really get emotional when I listen to it. Here’s a link to the music video~♡

Z- Fandom Ramble! (First Kiss!!)

Hope you don’t mind me taking your little prompt of “First Kiss” and writing some tiny ficlets for my Wardens! I went a little overboard with this… but I hope you appreciate this peek into my Wardens’ love lives ^^

Redren: Prudent was never something Redren considered himself to be. Born in a whorehouse and later raised by a girl with so little shame, he never thought he’d be so flustered. With how pretty he was, how he listened, how he complimented him. Did this elf have no shame? No anxiety? No desire to keep his head on his shoulders? So when the flirting started all but the moment after his life was spared, Redren hadn’t the faintest idea how to handle it. He caved, allowing for this Antivan massage, so obviously a trap, a way for him to face his own desires without saying yes with a clear head. But it didn’t turn out like that. Zevran, for it was in his very nature itself for him to do so, joked and flirted, but all but shied away from doing anything like Redren had assumed he would. So when it was over, his back and shoulders feeling better than they had in years, he hardly noticed the kiss that was planted on his cheek before Zevran slipped away into the dark. A blink was all it took for the pale skin feel as if it were set ablaze. His cheek was on fire because of something. Embarrassment? No, no he didn’t feel embarrassed. He couldn’t pin it, it was both frustrating and fulfilling. But whatever it was, he wanted to feel it again. And again. And again.

Faelyn: Nelaros! Nelaros was his name! Oh, Nelaros, Nelaros, Nelaros! Faelyn couldn’t contain her excitement. After so many years of waiting, waiting, waiting, her husband was finally chosen! From Highever, no less! The whole idea made her giddy, so excited she wore Shianni out not even ten minutes after getting the news, bouncing around and giggling and laughing. Nelaros! Maybe this all meant that father believed her capable, that she was smart enough to be a useful wife. So long she’d believed she wasn’t, so anxious, thinking that perhaps, yes, only perhaps, she’d be stuck cleaning taverns’ tables until she died. But now with Nelaros, oh how she loved to say his name, Nelaros, my Nelaros, she could have those babies like she dreamed of, a beautiful bride to be a glowing mother, to make the others see that I’m capable! I’m smart enough! My husband, he loves me! See, see, look! I can be what you all said I wasn’t enough to be! And she was so happy when she saw him, when he didn’t care about the way she sounded when she talked, when her teeth got in the way of her tongue, when she forgot what she was saying halfway though. She promised to be a good girl, to wait until wed to kiss him, for that was the rule of the weddings. She didn’t care, as long as she got her kiss in the end, with a little iron ring around her finger, slipped on by her beloved. But when she kissed him, oh how cold his lips were. The tears flowing down her cheeks weren’t the happy ones like she’d dreamed they’d be. The ring in his pocket felt ten times its weight, lead pulling her pretty little hand to the dirt. His lips, so cold, too cold. This corpse wasn’t her husband. It couldn’t be! It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be, it couldn’t be! Her dress, once so pretty, so white, now such an ugly colour, so red, so filthy. She had given this kiss to a corpse, a dead man on the floor, stained in the same ugly colour her hands were. Shianni, as much as she tried, couldn’t tear her grip from the corpse’s shirt. She was supposed to stay with this husband of hers. Till death do us part, how unfair when it came so soon. Oh, Nelaros, Nelaros, Nelaros.

Orest: What counted as a kiss? Was it when a brother or a sister says goodnight? Was it when a mother or a father wishes you luck on a hunt? Or was it something more, a feeling rather than an action? Because whatever a kiss was, it was happening right now. Tamlen’s mouth was on Orest’s mouth, and whoever had moved first was anyone’s guess. How taboo for two men, never to be bonded, to share such an experience. What did this mean? Nothing could come from this pair, no children to carry on the Dalish blood. But it felt good. So good, like a silent mouth had no right to be. Whatever he felt was addictive, Tamlen’s skin underneath his fingertips was a rush, something so foreign yet so familiar. Tamlen hummed into his lips, sending this rush down his abdomen, igniting this fire of lust. How anyone could resist this feeling was a mystery for the ages, how anyone could live in the darkness, not knowing the feeling of someone against their skin like he once had was unanswerable. So they kept it up, with Tamlen the first to pull back. A promise was made, to do this again, because whatever it was, perhaps love, perhaps just teenage play, it felt good. This experiment certainly required more study.

Andrea: She was expected to marry a man of equal stature to her, an Arl’s son, or some other nobleman. She minded not, of course, if it was what her family desired, she would learn to desire it as well. And how bad could one man be? Her family was what mattered, and if she had to add one member, and likely more with her future children, she would adapt and carry on. But that ended. That possibility, blown out like the brief candle life was. She grieved, and she cried, and she never moved on. But he made it easier. He was foolish, and a bastard, not her equal, but the longer she watched, she grew to realize he was so much more than her. He cared, and he listened, and he let her sleep alongside him as the sky cooled and the leaves changed. He was all she was not, and she began to wonder if, perhaps, she was falling. The realization hit her like a blunt sword; the blow wan’t fatal, yet it hurt, it made her whole being reel on impact. But she let herself be swept away by this bastard King, by Alistair. So when he cupped a large, gentle hand against her chin, she tilted her head upward, letting him connect their lips. How soft his lips were, contrasting so greatly to the scratching of his stubbled chin. She felt his hands trail downward, gripping her full hips, so improper, so unbecoming of a noble, yet she allowed him to pull her closer, armor clinking against armor. Because he wasn’t a noble, he was Alistair. And in that moment, she realized it didn’t matter. Nothing in this Blighted world did, and if that was so, she was going to kiss this bastard over and over again.

Hundir: For a prince, especially one of the Dwarven kingdom, feelings were so unnecessary. They made a man weak, clouded his head with nonsense, useless sentiment that only served to pull the rug out from underneath his feet. So when he started to grow so close with him, with that trusted soldier, of what he near dared address as a friend, it frightened him. He kept it hushed, feelings so useless, so unheard of. And it wasn’t until the door was closing did he regret it. He reached out, to grab the disgraced warrior’s beard, pulling him close, planting that kiss upon his lips. It was short, hardly a second before he was pulled away and the doors to the Deep Roads shut behind him. That feeling of another man’s lips upon his own was so strange, but it felt destined, like it was meant to happen, the Stone moving his feet to do it. His hands shook as he stepped forward into the darkness of the tunnels, the handle of his battleaxe gripped in his gloved hands all that kept him from turning back, to pound on the door, to scream let me out! Let me out! Gorim, please, let me go with him! Let me live upon the surface with my warrior, please! Honor be damned, he didn’t care. But he moved forward, desperate to find these Wardens, to go with them, to find his warrior on the surface.

no when did I say it's ok to abuse someone because i don't like their ship. please tell me where I said that. I'm saying antis don't act like pedophiles and abusers and genuinely gross people don't exist in fandom and especially in shipping circles like yours. or are you going to pretend people like todokaras aren't real. my point WAS that the question didn't specify what kind of offenses they're talking about and so shaladins are using that to assume antis harass anyone for any reason. you're out here making generalizations and misconstruing my words but guess what you guys are vapid for calling us Antis like it's a bad thing when it means we're ANTI-PEDOPHILIA/ANTI-GROOMING/etc.

for the love of god learn how to read and stop putting words in my mouth.

shaladins are now using this stupid as fuck question to make antis seem like bullies. both “certain offenses” and “harassment” are left undefined and vague as hell but I guarantee you every anti who answered “yes” knows that there are some fucking deplorable adults who consume child porn, or are even actual pedophiles, and that is absolutely included under “certain offenses” that “warrant harassment”
