Legolas, Vax'ildan and Aloth walk into a bar together.
...
Legolas was too busy looking at the trees to see it.
Vax failed his Dex save.
and Aloth had his face stuck in a book and wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.
...
They all get embarrassed about it and insist that the others don't tell their friends about it because they'd never be allowed to live it down.

and while im saying words on here casper and shedir are both nonbinary. mezany has a huge pantheon of gods and mythical figures who no one actually believes in anymore, but remain culturally relevant from a secular standpoint in the federation -- similarly, elven pronouns are genderless, but i imagine that the elves still engage with vestigial gender categories from feudal ulendell without imbuing them with any real power. they are gender agnostic but also gender maximalist. i think the younger generations have started to adopt gendered nouns from Common and use them in a heavily ironized fashion. so. my friend markab is only a "man" in the sense of erotic parody. like i am this meaning i will playact this and subvert it by adopting it because its funny and it works for me and makes me feel sexy 🖤 hes just gay. meanwhile casper's situation is even more convoluted bc as established in his arc he was to some degree assigned Manhood (a category that does have significant social baggage in victra) and he does have some relationship with it. but he's also always resonated with aspects of victran femininity. casper was a boy who was part girl on his mom's side who was a haunted doll. and then he went to mezany and got even more genderfucked so now his whole deal is a mystery even to him. he is just a fainting couch bitch. corrupt dickensian schoolmistress. village slut witch. failed gladiatrix. carrion

#yolanda talks#i would romance morrigan with a female surana so i can do my gay mage x mage romance in da:o#but since i cant instal mod on ps3....i have to make a male surana to achieve that mage x mage romance in dao albeit its not gay#my male surana is called Esther and dude is just...too tragic? im not so sure if morrigan is his true love tbh#he's a very talented mage(duh its kinda the prerequisite). got an aloof exterior. a proud man. imagine if dorian is born in the south#i imagine he'd be something like that version of dorian. and he'd be all for survival first. he knows mages r vulnerable in circle#and he's determined not to fall prey to undercurrent that comes in the form of templars taking away his power and emotion#it'd be odd that such survival first and proud talented mage would be friends with someone weaker. like jowan#but Esther just got a soft spot for jowan. (yeah btw hes bi and they fucked lol none of my ocs is straight). he'd hate to admit it tho#he framed it as a purely physical thing. and remained friends with jowan until he realized it was too late#i envision this guy to be a combination of mai and azula from atla. hes got azula's flair but not her borderline psychopathy#(azula isnt actually a psychopath tho) Esther comes off more apathetic. like Mai. confident and calculated like azula#and when i say he's got azula's flair i dont mean hes like. flirtatious bad boy u might think he is. i dont like that kind of male character#everything he does. he does to survive. hes more calculated and observant. not ann attention seeker at all.#can be very persuasive if needed. a master manipulator. but he would not risk drawing unnecessary attention to do it#he would admire morrigan for her talent as a mage and ability to survive due to being BOTH a woman and a mage#i suppose morrigan would appreciate his approval in her *survival first* mentality. but hes still like. u know. willing to help ppl. lol#i think they might still find each other somewhat of a kindred spirit. and it'd be a slow build friendship at first#whats the tragic abt this character is...i know hes in love with jowan. jowan isnt tho. and u know he'd eventually lost jowan anyways#he wouldnt be very close with any of his companions. and as an elven circle mage. he felt out of place in the world#he doesnt belong with the dalish. he knows he wouldn't. he doesnt belong with city elves either. despite i'd imagine hes from an alienage#and he never fit in with the human mages growing up in the circle. when he sees the world. he doesnt see a place for him#everything he does. he did them to survive. everything except what he did for jowan. he took a risk...for him.#he has always been genuine with jowan. very unusual for him. and he lost jowan. idk if he'd have what he had with jowan. with morrigan#plus hes an arcane warrior...and a blood mage. blood magic is taking a toll on him and hes mostly keeping it a secret#he doesnt trust himself to not explore insidious potentials of blood magic. and hes terrified of hurting ppl#unlike with my hawke. who has merrill's support and around friends all the time. hes alone and isolated. having lost his first love#he might be very exhausted by the end and just...didnt mind if he has to make the sacrifice to slay the archdemon#so there is a chance he'd die to slay the archdemon....................see. its just. too tragic. too sad#idk but he is quite a complicated character to unpack. and i wanna play as blood mage warden. so i might explore this route

MUMBO IS HAVING GAY THOUGHTS MUMBO IS HAVING GAY THOUGHTS AHHHHH Oh that HINT. That INKLING you gave me of Mumbo's protective instinct. Oh my GOD this is gonna be glorious when it stabs me ;)
Also the zombie swimming? The hint of mobs - truly impeccable. A creeper showing up mm mm mm. This is giving me ideas. So many ideas. I love when the minecraft world leeches in just a bit more than usual. And Mumbo going, tearing through the woods, slowly getting more and more concerned until he sees them and they're alright and its like he flicks a light switch so they dont SEE AHHHHHHHHH.
All this talk of dancing is gonna make me request a dancing scene outta you, btw. I need to see them dancing now. I require it to sustain my life at some point down the line. AND THE OH MY GOD SCAR AND CUB YEEEEEEEES So. fun fact. about your local feral mumbo enjoyer. I only got into hermitcraft a month ago, when I watch all of Grian's S9 videos and then immediately ran off to go watch season 6 - I'm almost done with Grian's playlist [Im on ep 90??? I think] but. Convex has my life so im like 👀👀👀 even though this is mumscarian im also just like. Hello there past.
SPEAKING OF PAST, OH MY GOD MUMBO'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILD. THE BRAIDING SCENE OF MUMBOS PAST DID ME IN. This throws my thoughts out of order but they are BRAIDING! SCARS! HAIR! BOYS YOU ARE BEING GAY! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA oh my god and poor Scar is just sitting there looking like a tomato. They are braiding scars hair, Grian has a elven engagement hairpiece, he's making a thing w his feathers for mumbo, BOYS YOU'RE GETTING ENGAGED I AM SHAKING ALL THREE OF THEM BY THE SHOULDERS
But also. How they almost talked and then all three of them aborted mission. Good lord. Please. Healthy communication skills are necessary for a long-lasting relationship. And I have a feeling this one is gonna be,,,*long* lasting 👀👀
Oh my god and Mumbo realizing he is having Gay Thoughts TM and just being like "shit. shit." god bless him, he's competent. We love competency.
Mumbo is just one big Gay Thought at this point in time <3 He has Realized something while failing to Realize something else haha <3 My delay in answering this ask was solely so I could stab you with it a little sooner :)
I NEED my minecraft fanfiction to have minecraft story/lore in it thank you very much <3 Will I ever explain the thing with Scars and Creepers? Well. One day sure <3 HAHAHA Mumbo thinks he covered it up so chill meanwhile Scar teases Grian about his boyfriend's first thought waking up being "must find Grian NOW" lmao while simultaneously failing to realize Mumbo was speaking in plurals about them both jfdsklfds
Haha bold of you to assume I don't already have a dancing scene planned <3 YEAH HOW CAN YOU HAVE SCAR AND NO CUB, it was always my intention to make him a childhood friend/sweetheart, unfortunately while Cub obviously isn't a bad person (since obviously I won't make the canon characters bad people <3) his and Scar's relationship did not end on a good note </3 Keep in mind they were teenagers and their communication and coping skills were even WORSE than what Scar has going on now </3 Also haha totally not planning anything for when Cub shows up out of the blue after a certain thing I have planned for Scar-
Mumbo <3 Stuck between the tragedy of the past and the tranquility of the present, his last memory of braiding hair is negative but now he has a new memory of it and braiding Scar's hair has definitely led him to a Realization(TM) <3 THEY ARE BEING SO GAY and they are beautiful while doing it <3 The whole braiding thing is super important trust-wise but also the fact that these are two people Scar is Very Much Attracted To does not help </3 lmao- THAT AWKWARD MOMENT YOU GET ENGAGED BEFORE YOU EVEN REALIZE YOU'RE DATING AMIRITE-
hjfgdskjgf these boys are allergic to serious conversations, and they will continue to abort mission. Except Mumbo, because Mumbo has had a long-ass time to process, and all he has left to do is let go <3 hfhsjfsj Very.... very long-lasting <3
Mumbo is competent enough to realize he is having Gay Thoughts and that Scar might be having Gay Thoughts too, but not competent enough to realize Grian has spent the entire time in Aqua Town in a Gay Panic <3
Apologies if I answered anything badly or wonky it's 3 AM and I spent all day writing a 12k part and now I can't read anymore <3

honestly 2000% of the reason i have to like concrete out the way i draw elves vs half elves is bc im gay and i really like drawing those goddamned satellite ears ok
im so gay for elves w/ Really Long Ears and i made my son a half elf and i love him
#it's like i want him to be a half elf in actuality but super traditionally elven in appearance bc im so gay for elves#maybe one day ill make a half elf that looks more human than elven#i like the idea that ear length and roundness vs pointy-ness of the ears varies between people#but also i love cat eye elves so half elf eyes range from looking human w/ wild colours to a faintly coloured sclera and a small iris#(which i tend to hc that elves don't really have)#anyways im gay and i love my disaster kids#lael is a good boy whose more elven than most half elves and i love him sm#also... like... i don't want to worry about him growing facial hair thats weird so like maybe the extra elf-blood negates...... that....#lmao im such a brat when it comes to just how specific laels features are#mousie squeaks#me: doesn't speak on social media ever#also me: can i just? talk about just how pretty and special and good my son is?#lael

can you like. tell me a little about dragon age. seeing your posts about it has got me interested in playing but i have little to no clue what it actually is
Boy can I explain nonny <3 This is a bit long so strap in and im sorry
Dragon Age is (currently) a three game series composed of Dragon Age: Origins (PS3, Xbox 360/Xbox One, PC), Dragon Age: II (PS3, Xbox 360/Xbox One, PC), and Dragon Age: Inquisition (PS4, Xbox One, PC) and its really unique because of its selling point that your actions impact the games as you progress. Like if you kill one character in one game they’ll stay dead through the rest of the series which makes you feel lived in the story and that your actions matter. Dragon Age is also an RPG so a roleplaying game kind of along the same lines of DnD where you get to make and play your own character. And yes there are romances and you can be gay.
The First Game of the series is Dragon Age: Origins where you choose from a selection of six unique (technically seven) origins or backgrounds for your character. You can be anywhere from a human noble or a Dalish elf, the unique elven culture in Dragon Age of nomadic clans dedicating to reclaiming their past. But eventually, from the events in your origin, you wind up a member of a secretive and elite order known as the Grey Wardens whose duty is to protect the world from the Blight.
The Blight is this spread of a horrible disease known as the Taint but is characterized by the presence of Darkspawn, a kind of zombie like creature who exists only to destroy the world. Grey Wardens take the heavy duty of protecting the world from the Blight, which have nearly wiped all of humanity multiple times, at all costs. And currently the country of Ferelden is under going a blight and due to events you wind up the only Grey Warden with your companion Alistair to save the world and reunite Ferelden which had fallen under a civil war.
Along Origins you meet many interesting characters. Alistair is your friendly co-warden who has a mysterious parentage that he hides under his happy go lucky attitude. In contrast to Alistair is the witch Morrigan who is your favorite goth swamp queen who would insult you and you thank her. In addition you meet your chaotic bi rogues Zevran and Leliana. Leliana is a nun who is on the run and hiding from a dark past and she is suspiciously good at murder. And Zevran is not at all hiding his aptitude for murder as an Assassin for hire who tried and failed to kill you but who can ignore that charming bastard?
Dragon Age II follows a much smaller story of a Ferelden refuge who had escaped from the Blight to the city of Kirkwall named Hawke. Unlike in origins where you get to pick your background 2 limits you to Hawke but fear not, Hawke is a loveable bastard and you can still customize them. Throughout DA2 you get to experience all the delights Kirkwall has to offer: Demons, crime, corrupt cops, and fighting your way to survive in this city and make a name for yourself.
Where Origins sets the stage for the world DA2 you are the actor in that play - literally the game is divided into 3 acts that take place over a span of 7 years. DA2′s main conflict is the argument of Mages vs Templars, as in DA’s lore while there are those who are born with magic they are forced to live in prisons policed by the Templar order and the church. You explore the more political arguments of; are the Templars right in their fears of magic as Kirkwall is filled to the brim with corrupt mages or do Mages deserve the chance to live and prove themselves freely from their prisons.
Your romancable companions in DA2 are all bisexuals as the true theme of DA2 is: be gay do crime. You have the foils of Anders: the runaway mage who fled from the prisons the mages are housed in and is determined to bring mages to freedom, and Fenris: the runaway escaped slave who curses magic for only inflicting pain and suffering in his life and wants his warnings to be heard about the dangers magic bring. In addition you also have Merrill, your cute but terrifying Dalish mage who would probably murder you with a cute smile and then go oops. And of course, my pirate wife Isabela, who lives a life free from commitment and is dedicated to the idea everyone should have a good time no matter the cost. Also while not romancable Hawke’s bff Varric deserves every ounce of praise he gets as never before has the energy of “two idiots sharing a braincell” ever been so well adapted.
Then finally we reach Inquisition. After the events of DA2 it triggers a full on war between the Mages and Templars that is destroying the land and causing severe damage that neither side can handle anymore. Desperate for an end to the conflict the Divine (err... fantasy pope) calls for a meeting on both sides... only for the entire thing to literally explode. Killing everyone present and causing a hole in the sky which now means demons are raining like cats and dogs you are the only one to survive. In Inquisition you can once again return to pick between unique backgrounds like in Origins but you don’t get to play through those backgrounds sadly.
You now possess something on your left hand which gives you the ability to patch up the hole in the sky that is pissing demons and due to being the only survivor everyone is incredibly confused about you. Eventually the Inquisition is formed around you, the character they are calling the Herald of Andraste (Andraste is fantasy Jesus) due to your ability to seal the holes. The mystery unfolds as over the course of the game you learn what caused the explosion, how you are connected, and what exactly the mark on your hand is.
DAI has the largest numbers of romance options so I’m gonna give a quick bullet point list for them all
Iron Bull (Pansexual, All Races): A Qunari (think Tiefling but big and beefy) mercenary who is far more clever than he lets on, as well as being the rope top dom of your dreams. Literally! Bull’s romance is a really healthy bdsm relationship if you are interested its very well done
Josephine (Bisexual, All Races): Your loveable ambassador and advisor for the inquisition. She is a workaholic noble who is a tried and true classic romance. Sweep her off her feet and duel for her hand all while navigating the nobility
Dorian (Gay, All Races): The flamboyant pariah rock star mage, he demands attention whenever he walks into the room. Although he wants to be all talk and no emotions make no mistake he is making puppy eyes at you the entire time and gets deeply offended if you say he is. Also not going to lie Dorian is the best piece of gay male rep in gaming history.
Cassandra (Male-only, all Races): Your stern warrior wife who is all serious no funny business... expect she is a bleeding heart romantic who reads horrible smut for fun. You wish to COURT HER?? I mean... if you want 👉👈 she won’t say no...
Blackwall (Female-only, All Races): Your weird dilf who wants desperately to prove himself every step of the way and help people. He is a constable for the Grey Wardens, but all the details on him seem murky... Ah well I’m sure its nothing, the Grey Wardens are a secretive order after all.
Sera (Lesbian, All Races): My wild child, monster chugging, beer guzzling, arrow shooting lesbian. Sera is here for a fun time and not a serious one, she’ll always make sure to keep you humble and ensure you aren’t getting to big for your breeches.
Cullen (Female-Only, Human and Elf only): Cullen’s the Inquisition’s commander who oohh boy is steeped in a lot of trauma. Cullen’s actually a character you get to know through out the series and see just all the horrible nonsense he’s been through. But he is your tragic self loathing... he isn’t princely but he is your adorkable charming
Solas (Female-Only, Elf Only): The humble apostate who joins the Inquisition out of curiosity of the breech, he is an expert on what the hell is going on with that hole in the sky. However, he holds a wisdom that goes far deeper than your typical apostate. Smooth talking and refined he carries a heavy cloud over him.
I left out a lot and all the nonsense with books and what have you but this is the easiest overview of the series I can offer. It’s main selling points is the deep story and characters throughout the games. And of course who doesn’t love the ability to make and roleplay your own character as a bonus? The games are bit of a flawed gem and Origins in my ugly child but they are truly a delight if you are interested

im literally abt to sleep but my brain had a moment and its theory time. spoilers for tdp s3. also I call dark magic users necromancers, deal with it.
So Aaravos is chalking up to be our main amtagonist. My guess is hes the guy that gave the necromancer facing off woth Sol Regem his staff.
Aaravos is incredibly powerful but the only magic we have seen him use if My sleep deprived ass can recall is dark magic and not pure elemental like most other elven magic users.
What if Aaravos cant use elemental magic at all? What if his desire to be accepted despite his handicap turned him to vibe real bad.
A confrontation could look real cool; Callum, a human with Xadian/Elemental/Pure magic, versus Aaravos, a startouch elf with only necromancy at his disposal. fricken yin yang balance shit right there. (and boy do I love me some parallells)
Anyway I hope his coccoon is growing a new body and Claudia gets to see Aaravos' butt or sth bc you dont grow a body with clothes and claudia deserves something positive in her life and if eye candy is the best we can do with the circumstance its the least we can do.
Tl;dr: I thibk Aaravos is a salty evil baby in gay baby jail bc he cant use normal magic like a good elf.
#tdp#tdp theory#aaravos#aaravos theory#im sleep deprived#Im prolly wrong#im tired but gay babies keep me up

IT’S BELLAMY BRIAR!!! HE’S MY DND OC. HERE’S SOME ART OF HIM. NOW IM GONNA TALK ABOUT HIM THANK U FOR VIEWING AND MAYBE READING PLEASE LOVE MY BOY THANKS.
Bellamy Briar is an undead revenant ghost, who was brought back from death by an evil god of the unknown, dreams and secrets, The Hidden One, after Bellamy ritualistically sacrificed himself in a failed attempt to save his dying daughter.
He’s my oc and dnd character, and he is my favourite and most developed and complex oc I have ever made in my 15+ years of writing ocs. I originally created and played him for a (currently on hiatus) Curse of Strahd dnd campaign where he’s a plague doctor grave cleric with a penchant for being undead, rapier fighting, letting party members die before deciding he should heal them, and generally being the freaky resident cryptid everyone hates. He hides his appearance and nature behind a plague mask; in the campaign the party has no idea that he’s dead, and until I revealed it outside of the game during the current hiatus, the other players had no idea either.
💉💀 🌹 DR BELLAMY BRIAR 🌹💀💉
Age: ~100 at time of death, ~160+? at campaign start
Height: 6’4”
Pronouns: he/him
Race: sun elf w/ UA Revenant subrace
Class: grave cleric
Occupation: surgeon, physician, apothecary, plague doctor, failed dad, local sad ghost boy, horny goth priest dtf
Other shit: Gay, aspie, occultist, left handed, in love with fantasy satan oops
Alignment: neutral good (alive) / chaotic neutral (dead)
Proficiencies: Medicine (expertise, +10 babyee), history, insight, perception, intimidation
BACKSTORY!!!
In life, he was a gentle, mild mannered genius surgeon and doctor obsessed with the occult and stalked by a sinister figure in his dreams - the Hidden One (true name Indrik, @jacobin my dm’s oc and npc), watching and waiting for his prophecy to begin, of which Bellamy was supposed to be a core part of. Born in Barovia to displaced elven parents, he had a childhood of emotional neglect and abuse as his parents attempted to shape him into the black sheep prodigal son they believed would absolve him of his crime of being accidentally born, which trapped them forever with a newborn son in the purgatory-esque demiplane of Barovia.
When his sleepy rural village is obliterated by a terrible plague, Bellamy becomes the town’s plague doctor, desperately attempting to halt the inevitable. But then his adopted daughter - Anya, who Bellamy adores more than anything in the world - falls ill to the plague. Unable to find a way to save her he turns to occultism, black magic, blood magic and cannibalism, necromancy, all the while rapidly losing his grip on sanity and wildly experimenting with darker and darker magic.
With all his options exhausted, his village in ruins and Anya dying, he turns to long gone old gods in desperation. Alone, insane with grief, with nothing left to live for, he cuts out his own heart in ritualistic sacrifice, offering his own life and body in return for Anya’s to an unknown god he preys to........ who turns out to be the Hidden One, watching god from his dreams, furious that his prophecy tool has managed to kill himself before the prophecy could even begin.
The Hidden One, far from done with him, forms a pact with Bellamy to exchange Bellamy’s life for Anya’s.... but instead, brings Bellamy back to undeath as an empty ghost - devoid of body, emotion and humanity after the Hidden One eats his heart, ‘blessed’ with clerical powers over life death and the grave - and steals Anya’s dying soul to keep her ‘alive’ with him in the Abyss as his carrot on a stick to control and pacify Bellamy. Now he’s doomed to wander the countryside as a puppet spy for his god, obsessed with the idea of saving Anya’s soul, terribly lonely and unable to relate with the living he hides among while being forever cursed to haunt the plague doctor suit he died in.
Outside of current canon dnd story, I have likeee 70k+ words of prose written about Bellamy and uhhhhhhh also he and the Hidden One/Indrik end up oops enemies to lovers and my dm @jacobin and I are furiously obsessed with these two and I have literally not cared about or been more obsessed with a ship in my entire life, they are terribly sad boys in intense terrible love and have no idea how to make it work because one is a broken lonely god and the other is a broken lonely ghost and ALL THEY WANNA DO IS KISS AND BE HAPPY!!!!!
anyway thats my boy and his god boyfriend thanks for listening to my ted talk please direct your questions and queries straight into my heart
also hey follow me on twitter! I’m way more active and post art regularly! @ shatterstag

i’m asking about your dragon age characters
molly i would KILL for u im ur personal hitman now
anyway i said my city now because the entire bioware writing team sucks shit xoxo and i’m so much smarter than all of them but also fully incapable of having a normal amount of ocs for anything (see: the time i made 20 rwby ocs in less than two weeks) so i have. five worldstates here r some assorted thoughts
uhhh so the worldstates r as follows
eira mahariel (two-handed berserk/champ spec), rhett hawke (two-handed berserk spec), alas lavellan (mage knight enchanter spec), romanced alistair/fenris/dorian respectively
shiv tabris (dual wield duelist/assassin spec), radella “rads” hawke (mage spirit healer spec), kat adaar (two-handed reaver spec), romanced morrigan/isabela/cassandra respectively because im a pc gamer and i think i should be able to date whatever video game woman i like because im infinitely better than cishet men
this world state said yeah i respect mens rights. mens rights to shut the fuck up
twins bronson (sword/shield reaver spec) & bryant cousland (archer ranger spec), carmine hawke (archer assassin spec), syracuse trevelyan (dual wield tempest spec), romanced zevran/anora/josephine/bull. if ur wondering how that works my city now and the warden, hawke and the inquisitor should all meet and so they do because i Said So
riva amell (mage arcane warrior/battlemage spec), graham “gray” hawke (mage force spec), hellathen “hela” lavellan (archer assassin spec); romanced cullen/anders and later blackwall because hawke only likes men who will break his heart. hela doesn’t have a romance because she’s literally 20. who let her lead the inquisition (me it was me). also it should be noted the version of cullen i have in my head only vaguely resembles actual cullen because i write better than dragon age writers ever could and i gave him an Actual Cohesive Narrative and he gets bullied relentlessly for being scrawnier than his mage boyfriend
malien “mal” surana (mage spirit healer/keeper spec), jules hawke (sword/shield reaver spec), ash adaar (mage rift spec), romanced leliana/merrill/krem because i should have been able to kiss krem and its a Crime that i am not allowed to
knight enchanter is a Very op specialization and by Very op i mean it makes a mage with their built-in low constitution stats able to solo the biggest baddest dragon in the game on nightmare mode in under five minutes so like. alas lavellan fist fights dragons for fun send tweet
i think lavellans should be able to hit ppl with bricks for all the shit they endure. thus solas gets pranked by mahariel and alas by which i mean they just tip buckets of water onto him from the rookery
kat might be my only competent inquisitor but she did also try to knock out the right hand of the divine and attempt to gap even tho there’s fucky magic burning up her hand so does she have a brain cell? you decide
also its fantasy land and i do what i want so kat has blue/gold sectoral heterochromia
gray “mage rights” hawke is best friends with fenris which surprises literally everyone. their friendship started because they got into a fist fight and then they were like okay i respect u now. hawke is like hey fenris give me ur sword i have a fun trick to show u [uses his sword as a foci to zap carver in the ass with lightning]
i am Always thinking abt like how cullen could have been one man anti-chantry propaganda machine if he hadn’t so blatantly been shoehorned into every game past origins so anyway bioware forgot about a wholeass moon i can write what i like. [holds up cullen by the scruff of his stupid armor] not only are you bisexual you are also a bottom
i also Hate the whole uwu mage haters get fixed by romancing a mage
unlocked secret dialogue option where my inquisitors verbally cuss out dorian’s dad instead of whatever sympathetic narrative the writers were going for cuz its bullshit.
riva is a showoff and a Menace about being as good as he is because he unabashedly loves being a mage and hes like oooh look at me im sexy i dont need to use my hands to cast magic because i’m just that good ;)) and you know what. hes right.
gray, on the other hand, does Not want to be mage. he wants to be a druffalo farmer and retire in the hinterlands and be left the fuck alone. unfortunately he is gay and has one brain cell and terrible, terrible taste in men. ribbed relentlessly for this by riva (altho does he have room to talk hes been hung up on cullen since he was like 13)
shiv is trans n kieran is the result of doing the dark ritual with her wife and he looks a Lot like shiv (dark skin pointed ears, shock-white hair) and morrigan always just Assumed she dyed it or did something magic with it so seeing their kid come out like that was a WEIRD time for her
leliana almost Murdered by cassandra in worldstate 5 because the warden is Actually There The Whole Time, but its been 10 years, mal’s cut off all her hair and gotten full facial tattoos and she’s like “no one will know its me its fine” and she’s right. she gets away with it. only cullen like, Knows, because he knew her before the blight but he doesnt have a death wish n he like. will Not piss her off
shes dalish by birth n she was stolen from her clan by templars and thus is vehemently anti-circle and anti-chantry in general
uhhh the vallaslin (elf face tattoos) of my 4 dalish characters are:
eira = ghilan’nain (chose em cuz shes rlly interested in the navigation aspect of the goddess)
alas = falon’din (god of the dead n he picked them because he’s Also the god of fortune and alas is like tee hee fun but also he can and will kill u if u fuck with him so yk its fitting)
hela = june (god of the craft bc she likes to Make things but june is also the god who taught the elves 2 hunt and hela is. a hunter.)
mal = elgar’nan (allfather/god of vengeance bc. she is Vengeful. she is Angry. but yk fucking with shem politics and fucking their divine is like. mal may have little a retribution. as a treat.) yes she has the full half-face solid colour tattoo she does NOT fuck around.
bronson and bryant r not genetically identical but they Look similar enough 2 anyone who doesn’t know them well enough 2 play spot the distance. anora and bronson think this is a super fun game to play, especially when nobles realize they’ve swapped out the king but they’re too nervous to say anything
eira mahariel has two hands. one is for holding hands with alistair and the other is for throttling elven gods, apparently. she’s killed one before so solas she’s coming for your bitch ass next. watch urself.
speaking of eira and alistair are married thru dalish tradition and humans don’t recognize it n alistair loves 2 re-propose to her with random things. he’ll just pick up like. a bit of cheese and be like “marry me ;)” and she’s like GASP but whatever will the chantry say!!!! all of their friends r sick of them
“vhenan if you love me bring me a sword” “you think i could do better than a sword made out of space rock?” “:)”
eira is my youngest hero at 18 at the start of her game and kat is my oldest at 32 at the start of her game.
none of my hawkes are under six foot. rhett is the tallest (6′8″) and rads is the shortest (6′2″).
syracuse trevelyan would have been the Perfect inquisitor if he were not a pretty boy himbo and a gay bastard who does Most Things just to spite his parents.
[corypheus pointing at syracuse’s visage in his crystal orb thingo] i want that twink obliterated
i love the companions from older games return thing i truly do so i make it a point for Every companion to return in inquisition so the gang rlly is all here because i am a Slutte for found family
i lie in my keep worldstates because i dont want to choose between hawke and alistair during here lies the abyss but i never make him king and every time i play inquisition and cole has the wicked grace line it makes me Scream. alistair baby im so sorry i did this to you but i didnt actually do this to you
yes this is my everyone lives au but like. all the time. i have never left hawke in the fade and i do not intend to.
fuck whatever nonsense about wardens not being able 2 have kids. by sheer divine power (me) anora and bryant have three daughters; eleanor, sabina & cecelia n both bronson and zevran make Excellent uncles because i think anora deserves good things because i’m tired of bioware being like women bad, actually,
so like most of the time i have the warden & hawke turning up after the move to skyhold n then staying on, with the exception of bryant, carmine & mal. mal is as mentioned previously just There the whole time with her girlfriend. bryant steps in as king of ferelden w/ interests in closing the big hole in the sky spewing demons in2 his kingdom yk. carmine shows up because she wants to help & she wants protection for bethany but she outright says she’d rather die than be inquisitor so cassandra is shit out of luck.
“CHANGE HER MIND VARRIC” “she once doubled down on insisting amaranth was a shade of blue because she didn’t want to admit to being wrong. no one’s changing her mind seeker”
alas is the middle child of eight and is thus very good with children and also bossing around people older than him. 2 of his older siblings come to the inquisition when stuff in wycome has been settled
i left ash with the basic canon background with Some variation (he grew up under the qun and left of his own free will when his magic was discovered n he realized he couldn’t take living as a saarebas
kat on the other hand was raised tal-vashoth and has bounced around basically all over thedas and leads her own merc company when the conclave blows up. she also speaks multiple languages. is there a language she doesn’t speak? probably not
just realized how long this got so im gonna like. stop my general rambling now but lmao yeah theres some basics. waves hands.
#sol.txt#sol.orig#long post#late night followers im SO sorry for this#but also like.#i love them so yall just have 2 cope w/ it#no thoughts head dragon age#peonydarling

Yet another character redesign of a 983942378 year old offensive as fuck bullshit story I wrote when I was like 14 ...... you know the drill by now. (Wow I haven’t drawn fullbody refs for ages oooof.)
This time it's a story I wrote together with a friend of mine. (Or two, but we got mad at her halfway through the second chapter and then just kinda kept on writing for ourselves after breaking up with her and then just fucking killing of her character lol. We were ruthless.) I read it with @lets-face-it-im-cute some time ago and naturally ..... I needed to draw these weird girls ......
The first one is Noemi. She's based on our excluded friend's character and was literally named Enomy back then and if you just thought of My Immortal you're correct. :-DDD Noemi is a bitch. She's tall and mean and scary and manipulative and a terrible friend, but she has great hair and a weird ass fashion sense. Nobody knows what she's up to but everyone's kinda afraid of her. She's very good at making you think you're important to her tho.
The second one is Tatiana. She's based on my other friend's character and was originally called Titania. (Yeah she was supposed to be an elf princess, very subtle right.) She's nice and softspoken and always confused and emotional as H*CK!!!! Big crybaby!!! Cares for everyone!!! Kinda stupid!!! A fucking doormat!!! Swedish roots!!! Likes plants and children!! Literally everyone takes advantage of her in one way or another and she doesn't even know it!!!
The last one is Delal and she was my character and originally called Delphy. (Before Cursed Child even became a thing but yeah, everyone had weird stupid Mary Sue names.) I had a weird kinda phase of making Arab characters but not actually caring about cultures or religion or researching anything at all, I have no idea what I was trying to do but anyway Del is properly arab now I guess. She's a tomboy AND a jock AND a punk AND a lesbian because OF COURSE she is!!!! She has no sense of fashion and puts together multiple plaids and doesn't care at all. She likes horse riding and soccer and hates boys and is also pretty mean and looooves repressing her emotions until she snaps and accidentally hurts her friends yeeeeah!
The old story was some generic fantasy shit about a prophecy that said three human teenage girls would save the elven kingdom from darkness and by darkness we meant three hot but very creepy straight boys with no personality and that was pretty much it ..... it had some nice touches but ultimately was boring as fuck. :-D I made up a new rough story concept for them but I'm not gonna do anything with it, you know me. Noemi still dies at the beginning and Tati and Del slowly realize what a terrible person she's been and then they fall in love with each other but also fight and suffer a lot before getting together while becoming cool fantasy warriors. And later it turns out Noemi didn't actually die and wants revenge now and the creepy hot boys are still somewhere off being gay and whatnot I guess ....... yeah that's something to expand on while I cook some noodles for Maus I guess. 8DDD
Anyway I like the designs and the character dynamics a lot!!! It was fun revisiting these assholes. :3c Time to never do anything with them again ahha.

could you please explain to me who is who in critical role? i want to start the journey into that but i want a heads up first... if you don't mind obviously :)
i don’t mind at all, i love talking abt it & i hope u have so much fun !! (warning: ignore anyone in fandom who hates any of the girl characters they cannot be trusted ). pls let me know if this isn’t what u meant by this question
campaign one & two: matt mercer!!!!! he’s the man at the point of the table, the man of many faces (& voices), the puller of threads, the weaver of stories, the man with lovely hair, the dungeon master himself. he puts together the story arcs, plays the npcs, does worldbuilding & directs the game during the sessions. he’s very cool (& married to marisha ray!!! & often says rly cute shit like “that’s my wife!” or “i love that woman!”)
campaign one: (link to episode one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i-p9lWIhcLQ)
laura bailey : appearing as the wonderful, the brilliant, the sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued VEX (vex’ahlia) a half-elf ranger, whose constant companion is a massive bear called trinket, im not 100% certain of the time line but she spent her childhood with her human mum & then her elf dad took them to the elven city of syngorn (spelling? not sure) & they learned a bunch of stuff but eventually left. vex disappeared into the forests to improve her skills at tracking & archery & to find/make a place for herself. also, she likes gold.
liam o’brien : appearing as the twin brother of vex, liam o’brien voices VAX (vax’ildan) a thief & rogue who would do anything to keep his sister safe (a trait that is returned by her), he’s a sneaky dramatic bi boy & a wee bit depressed. when vex went into the woods, vax went to the cities. he became a shadow of a man (see what i did there? im very funny) but for real he became a thief & learned how to sneak & hide & steal.
marisha ray : the voice of the sweet, talented, magical, painfully awkward KEYLETH, she’s a half elf from the ashari tribe of druids (air tribe). the daughter of the headmaster of the tribe, she is on a journey to each of the tribes to learn elemental magic & to form a new connection between the tribes. she has a good heart & a wicked sense of humour that the whole group brings out of her as well as the most hilarious innocent streak the group just. destroys. she also is a fucking badass & is training to be the headmaster one day so she definitely feels responsibility for the things they do & the choices they make
sam rigel : how does one describe SCANLAN shorthalt? are there words enough? scanlan is a gnome of considerable experience & charisma, who appears to have spent his life singing & sleeping around. i am on episode 60-smth & that’s just abt all i know about him. he’s a mystery, he’s a wonder, he’s a delight. he’s a brilliant singer & frequently makes me laugh so hard i cry. also, he’s in love with pike so,,,,,mood.
taliesin jaffe : percival fredrickstein von musel klossowski de rolo the third of whitestone, but his friends call him PERCY. at the start of the campaign i thought he was a real prat but he grew on me rly quickly & i kind of love him a lot. he’s a gunslinger, a genius inventor who created the very first gun(?) in this world & a wicked sense of humour
travis willingham : GROG. he can count to four, i think. barbarian who got beat up & abandoned by his herd when he refused to kill a gnome, he was healed by pike & became her brother & he’s BRILLIANT. he’s strong as FUCK & i love him to pieces
ashley johnson : last but not least in any aspect & certainly not my love for her, ashley plays the incredible gnome cleric PIKE. grog’s sister, cleric to the goddess of (????) saranwrap, who governs like forgiveness & healing or smth fuckin dope like that, she’s a BADASS & she CLANKS in her ARMOUR & i LOVE HER. she’s the heart & soul of the group everyone adores her & bc her actress (ashley) is away for filming for a bunch of time, u can see how much they all adore her when she joins them, they brighten up so much & they love her i love ONE (1) BIG GROUP OF FRIENDS
campaign two: (link to episode one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=byva0hOj8CU )
laura bailey : JESTER LAVORRE, a blue tiefling who is super strong & mischievous & flirty & funny & a cleric for a mysterious entity called only “the traveller”. beau & fjords travelling companion when the campaign starts
marisha ray : BEAUREGARD, a monk. originally from a small town called kamordah, she was in zardash at the cobalt sol, the centre for the monks of the cobalt sol, where she was being taught to fight & discipline. but since she ran away, she only learned to fight & she’s great. also, hopefully very gay the way marisha plays it . jester & fjords travelling companion when the campaign starts
liam o’brien : scruffy dirty fire wizard CALEB WIDOWGHAST who has two holsters with books which is just the coolest fucking aesthetic & a magic cat called Frumpkin. tortured soul, dark past, German accent. notts travelling companion when the campaign starts
sam rigel : a fucking GOBLIN. a goblin girl, NOTT, THE BRAVE who is a rogue, steals stuff, has a never ending flask. she’s Caleb’s travelling companion when the campaign begins. minus 3 charisma, which is Hilarious after being scanlan for so many years
taliesin jaffe : a rather colourful character, he plays MOLLYMAUK, a lavender teifling decorated in jewels & dazzling tattoos. he wears a colourful coat & has two scimitars as well as a deck of cards he uses to tell fortunes. at the start of the campaign he is travelling with a circus & with yasha . queer???? Hopefully!!!!
travis willingham : FJORD, a seaman. he’s a half orc warlock & used to be a sailor. a man of many voices, he’s a mysterious & very handsome man & has a wicked falchion. at the start of the campaign he is jester & beaus travelling companion
ashley johnson : YASHA. strong hghhjnngbbghgnnh . but more seriously, she’s this fuckin jacked aasmir barbarian with a great sword & she still has to disappear to film sometimes so she has a fuckin dope backstory i can’t wait to find out more abt it. also, hopefully queer in some capacity

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR OCS... JUST LIKE ANYTHING IN GENERAL
like i said before i have a lot so i am going to talk about my dnd characters that will hopefully be in the book/comic I want to make
1) Heath Khil! Half elf ranger, agender, 27, bisexual, 5′ 1″(~155 cm), small and sick of your shit. they grew up in a town that was full of humans so they always felt out of place. they were abandoned by their parents and raised by a man named Hector who taught them to use a bow and to use the swords that their parents left them, one elven in design and the other human. when they were 12 Hector disappeared and no one knows if he died or just left. when they were 20 some dudes came and tried to kill them and their best friend Jerome twice. so they decided to leave to A. find they guys that tried to kill them B. look for Hector C. find their birth parents and D. make sure that no one else would be hurt because of them
2) Reyqirelle Sen! Wood Elf sorcerer, female, 166 (~i still need to adjust this b/c of lore), lesbian, 5′ 8″(~173 cm), the life of the party! there is not much i can say about her backstory because of BIG SPOILERS for the story of a whole. but whats important is that she has both draconic ancestry and wild magic and that she is on the run
3) Zilkas Ansuonzeck! Forest gnome bard, male, 127, ace aro, 3′ 9″(~114 cm), smaller and full of rage. I DON’T HAVE A BACKSTORY FOR HIM RIGHT NOW AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM GOING TO DO. just know that he is chill but is not afraid to cut your shins and that he likes sitting on the shoulders of tall people so, Raymond and Ola
4) Luca [Redacted]! Half elf rouge, he/they (still trying to figure out the gender stuff), pansexual, 5′ 6″(~167 cm), hes that kid that likes to mess with people and fuck shit up. he was abandoned by his parents at the steps of a church, they left him two daggers one elven and one human, but the church burned down when he was young so he lived on the streets for awhile before he joined a gang called The Golden Wolves and he has a wolf tattoo on his left shoulder blade. he used to sleep around a lot but that stopped when he met and fell in love with a certain someone. he is also really good at getting info both through just talking to people and digging around.
5) Raymond Kent (aka my boy)!! Human paladin, male, ace gay, 6′ 1″(~185 cm), he likes to keep things in order and also protect people, in terms of personality think tenya iida! he was raised as a noble so he didn’t really get to go out much when he was 8 his house was set on fire because his family didn’t do anything about the drought that was going on, and he was the only one that survived. so like the stupid 8 year old that he was he went to the goddess of life and death to resurrect them, that didn’t work out at all and he ended up getting her symbol branded on his back and owing her a favor. he was then taken in by some gay farmers and they asked him if he could fix the drought so like the stupid 9 year old that he was he went to the goddess of agriculture and love to end the drought, she did but she too branded him and he owes her a favor too. when he was 13 he decided he wanted to become a paladin for the god of courage and self sacrifice. the gay farmers had a lesbian friend who was a paladin of that god so Raymond went to live with her and her wife. he completed his training when he was 18 and left on a journey to await the goddess’s favors. he is really sweet and likes protecting people but he can’t really open up. this changes when he meets and falls in love with a certain someone. also side note i love Raymond a lot and put him through too much shit that he doesn’t deserve but its for the drama so its ok
6) Ola Rinku! Aasimar cleric, female, lesbian, 6′ 8″(~203 cm), giant woman. I DONT HAVE A BACKSTORY FOR HER EITHER AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. just know that she likes to carry the small ones so Zil and Heath and also likes to make people happy!
7) Temperance! Tiefling monk, NB, pansexual, 5′ 10″(~178 cm), pretty chill but will get super pissed if someone is racist. i can’t really talk about their backstory because i am playing as them in a campaign right now! but what i will say is that they don’t want to get close to people because of their backstory
ANYWAY i love them all so much and i still have a lot of work to do but i hope you guys find them interesting!! and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!!
#asks#robo beeps#ocs#heath khil#reyqirelle sen#zilkas ansuonzeck#luca#raymond kent#ola rinku#temperance#im serious tho#if anyone wants to know more#i'll be happy to share#of course as long as it doesn't involve spoilers

hello! i only played dragon age inquisition once but i'd like to know what's the beef with cullen and why people dislike him, or if you could maybe point me to a post that explains it? i'd be grateful, thank you for your time :D
@dalishious has written much on this, and much better and more concisely than I (im SORRY THIS IS SO LONG), so definitely check out her literal CULLEN MASTERLIST here.
Long post incoming, my friend! Here’s my personal explanation, but check out that link too for more examples / concrete evidence lol.
Okay, here’s my honest opinion on the subject.
So the first game, Dragon Age: Origins. You can pick from six (seven) origins, and two of those are the Mage origin--the only difference between them is that you can play as either a human, or an elf. All the other origins are dependent on race (dwarf commoner, human noble, city elf, dwarf noble, Dalish elf).
I chose an elven mage on my first playthrough, and you start out in this Circle of Magi--so like, the big tower place w the mages. Specifically, Kinloch hold, aka the place Cullen was at.
As you play through the origin story of your character, if you’re a girl, it becomes clear that he has some weird crush on your character. Some people thought this was cute, but that’s overlooking some real, uh, problems with it, to say the least. He says that he would, literally, kill you if you failed the Harrowing (a test every mage has to take to evolve from being an apprentice to a full Circle mage). BUT, he says he’d rather not. So I guess people think it’s sweet that he’d regret killing you, despite doing it willingly...?
Later in the game, you come back to the Circle, and shit’s well and truly fucked. Demons everywhere, lots of dead mages and templars all around. But toward the top of the tower, you find Cullen in some weird magic circle thing. He’s just sitting there, hunched over and mumbling to himself. Apparently he’s been ~tortured~ as he says in DAI, but all it seems is that he was shown visions.
And if you’re playing a female mage, those ~visions~ are of your character.
He says they’re “taunting [him] with the one thing he always wanted but could never have, using [his] shame against [him]... [his] ill-advised infatuation with her, a mage of all things.” Now, I honestly don’t remember if this is just me imagining things or if this actually happened, but I’m rather sure he ALSO will make an additional comment about how she’s an elf, too, as in, just another thing to be ashamed of. But I think the rest of the dialogue speaks for itself.
The woman who wrote the origin, Sheryl Chee (she wrote Leliana, too, in all games) was confused when people thought he was cute (back in the days of DAO, way before DAI). She said the only sort of romance Cullen would have with the female mage Warden would be something “quick and violent” and just “to get her out of his system.”
One of the possible ending slides in Origins will mention that Cullen killed three apprentices back at the Circle before he left Kinloch Hold. This is the ending slide that I got on my first playthrough of the game.
So that clearly colored my opinion of him, but also, when I played DAO i was struggling w my sexuality a bit. Like, I think I knew I was gay, but I was dealing with homophobia from myself and my family, and I certainly didn’t feel good about it. The romance with Leliana and my warden honestly brought me to tears at parts because it was so wonderful to see a relationship between two women portrayed as something so sweet and normal (well, as normal as it could be. considering they’re fighting to save the world and all that stuff). So Cullen’s creepy comments were definitely NOT appreciated.
And that's aaaaaaaaaall just in Origins.
In Dragon Age II, regardless of what ending you got in DAO, he moves to the city of Kirkwall (where Hawke goes to) and is somehow promoted to the Knight Captain... the second-in-command of Meredith Stannard, the Knight-Commander of Kirkwall. And if you thought Kinloch Hold treated their mages bad, then hooooo boy, do you have another thing coming! Because the Circle in Kirkwall is literally called “The Gallows.” And rest assured, it lives up to its name.
Mages are hunted down and turned Tranquil (made into empty husks devoid of emotion)... illegally. If a mage passes their Harrowing, Chantry law apparently states that they can’t be made Tranquil, at least without a very good reason--it’s considered a last resort, of sorts, because it leaves the mage alive but unable to use magic (or dream, or have emotions). But in fact, it’s not a mercy at all. It’s used as a form of control and widely abused in Kirkwall. This leaves open room for any number of abuses, because Tranquil are all about ~logic~ and no emotion and what that boils down to is them doing anything, anything, that Templars tell them. And of course that’s taken advantage of--demonstrated by the fact that a Tranquil mage in Inquisition will tell the Inquisitor that she wouldn’t want to be cured, because she didn’t think she could handle what happened to her while she was Tranquil.
Anyway, back to Kirkwall. Meredith keeps up a horrendous system of abuse of mages, such that if you walk near the gates of the gallows you hear people being tortured, like whip lashes and, iirc, screams of pain. At the end of the game, Hawke can side with mages or templars, and if you side with the templars, Meredith will kill Hawke’s mage sister unless you explicitly stop her.
And in the end, Cullen sides with Hawke against Meredith, because she’s lost her mind to Red Lyrium... but here’s the thing.
He’s her second in command. He could have prevented some of the abuses in Kirkwall--or if anyone could have questioned her authority, naturally, he could have. But he didn’t. Not until the last moment, when he sides with Hawke at the end... as in, sides with the unstoppable force (Hawke and co.) that’s torn through the city anyway. If he stood with her, he’d have been cut down for sure.
Finally, Cullen doesn’t even get over the mage warden EVEN in DAI. If the Warden romanced Leliana, and if he didn’t romance the Inquisitor, he will ask Leliana about the Warden. The first part makes sense, but the second part kinda confirms that he is literally still thinking about the Warden in such a way. Which is at least kind of creepy. It’s been ten whole years.
In the broader scheme of things, a lot of this boils down to the fact that he is a Templar infatuated with a mage. He held direct power over the mage in question (literally tells the mage warden he’d kill her but feel sad about it???) so there’s not really any way for their relationship to have ever been equal, even if it wasn’t predatory to begin with (her being his charge directly).
Because, as we know, Cullen can romance a mage in Inquisition. And it is creepy as hell. Like, “you’re okay because you’re not like other mages” kind of creepy--calling her an exception, rather than an example, of her people. There’s other things in DAI--like how he never ACTUALLY apologizes or takes any sort of blame for what he did in Kirkwall--but check out the link because I avoided him as much as I could in DAI lol.

Very exciting news - i converted my main tumblr blog because it was supposed to be a blog for me to try and post about writing and became inundated w minecraft boys so here we are - feral mumbo anon is off anon >:) now i no longer have to worry about hitting the button hehehe
UH SO GRIAN AND MUMBO???? Gayer than hell. Gayer than the devil himself. No normal person sees an ex-engagement gift in their friend's bag and go 'no hes MINE' BOYS THATS GAY YOU ARE BEING GAY
Also all of scars backstory aaaaah. Did i wake up at 3 am and read this again so my thoughts are incoherent at best yes. But lil baby scar and cub were so cuiuuute oh my god two lil 7 year olds just out here makin it til they break it
I do love how the entire time scar was like "I am Aware cub and I share a birthday [i think???], got 🌟 randomly 🌟 paired up as kids, are two entirely different classes, and debuted super early. And hes so smart. And somehow an arranged marriage never crossed his mind. Jesus the DEVASTATION
Also the awkward teen kisses were everything tbh. I love when teenagers are like "*shuffles nervously* i know what im doing" bless them.
But scar???? Telling off the entire elven court in front of them and getting free because of Cleo??? I love it. Brave man, he deserves the world. I cant wait to meet cleo tbh, at least i hope we do. Cleo my beloved. But also i hope we meet the elven king not in a memory because something tells me bird brain and blood brain would do something drastic and dumb, like yell at him. Or punch him. 👌
But also just like, for them to get to sit their and assure scar that their friendship [and love] comes with no strings attached is everything to me. For this to be the moment both grian and mumbo are looking at each other like - "Wait a minute- Scar-?" Cannot wait for them to have that conversation tbh. Imagine looking at your boyfriend, realizing hes got feelings, and being like "oh thank god" if these two dont TALK i am gonna go MAD i am NOT a slow burn girlie pop
Oooooh nice, welcome to non-anon <3 Nice to *formally* meet you~ <3 If only I could be main blog </3
They are SO gay Grian really saw that old engagement jewelry and was like "break it break it breAK IT-" his first thought was really "hold up wait a minute just a sec wait Scar's around my age his ex whatever could still be around I don't Like That(tm)" lmao just wait until Cub actually shows up cough AND YEAH Mumbo was chill until he learned what it meant and then he just. "No" lmao
Writing Elven children is weird cuz you have to find that balance between "super formal society" and "children are children regardless" and just jgfdkl little Scar had my heart while writing <3 little Cub did too ofc just babies <3
[same birth month&year basically but close enough to same day for beings that live 700+ years <3 Elves are so long-lived that it's not UNusual to be born in the same year but definitely not the norm, but to be born in the same month is like. Very unusual <3] Have I mentioned that Scar can be so oblivious lmao BUT ALSO to be FAIR to him, he knows absolutely no one who has ever been in an arranged marriage, his cousins are between 5 and 200 years older (the King is his great great great grandfather lmao there's a lot of gens there and long lived species whoo) than him and only a handful of them are married to people they chose so poor thing literally looked at this situation like "Grandfather wouldn't invite just anyone to the Palace especially when he's so overprotective... I'm sure that doesn't mean anything for me specifically" lmao But like. For him it wouldn't have been that BAD if they had just TOLD him, because if he had known from the start he'd have seen it as him and Cub making the best of an unfair situation, but because he was never told until the engagement day every Moment(tm) between them felt like a LIE which </3 Hurts so bad- Also Scar being aware of the class difference I knew needed addressing at some point which is also why it's important that Cub made the first move, even though Cub was already aware that he would end up marrying Scar and Scar wasn't kfdsjlk
hgjkfdgjk precious children just trying to act like mature grown ups but at the end of the day they're still teenagers who have no clue what they're doing and share awkward nervous kisses <3
The fact that literally the only people who TRIED to stop him were the King, his mother and to a degree, Cub (though what was Cub going to say, I wonder...) even though the Court was full of their most immediate family? I mean. If that doesn't speak to something Scar hadn't noticed at the time- :) Cleo really had this little knobby teenager come to them with an engagement piece in his hair and break down about how his entire life has been a lie and everyone he thought loved him was just using him and said "This is not happening. Nope, not happening. Run, kid" Cleo is my absolute beloved <3 I love them. Now I wonder why Scar is so hesitant to meet up with them... :) Haha we definitely haven't seen the last of the Fae King. Unfortunately for Grian and Mumbo, if there is ever an OP character in this series, uh, it's definitely the Fae King. (Not OP enough to save Scar tho </3 rip) And meeting him might not be under the best circumstances... :) I wonder how that will be resolved, huh. I hope everyone understands Unreliable Narrator tag means Everything Is Not What It Seems while also not assuming it means the King isn't an ass at the same time
