soft character drop (again) — saeris fel'era lavellan

she/they, 5′9, 24 at start of inq

fel for short. mostly. fel’era also acceptable (FELL-uh-raa), saeris also acceptable from very specific people (clan members).

dalish elf (shocker)

storm mage -> knight-enchanter or rift mage depending on verse

60% leg but slightly short arms

very direct. very solemn. neurodivergent

friends with a valor spirit that can access/influence the world through her staff

holds bug funerals

more info below!

- dirthamen vallaslin because she had a knack for stepping quietly, sneaking up on people without meaning to, and eavesdropping.

- saeris means “unending dream”, but mostly she goes by her middle/matron name, fel'era (final dream) because: 1) she misses her mama  :[ 2) they named her saeris hoping she would carry the clan forward into a new age of alliance with the world outside their insular culture, and after the explosion at the conclave, they felt pretty disheartened about their ability to actually do that v_v  3) weirdass dreams. YES i’m that basic motherfucker who wants to explore a dreamer inquisitor. let me live

TEMPEST STAFF / VALOR

- so there’s a temple in the western approach where you find a bunch of people fighting around a staff that’s been frozen in time and space. you can get the staff, it’s a cold-damage artifact called Tempest with a skull in it.

- basically one thing led to another with some late night discussions with an rp partner many years ago, and the hc was born that the staff exists both in the material world and in the fade simultaneously. bridges the veil.

- it houses a spirit of valor that gives fel'era strength and helps out with their social + performance anxiety. 

- she’s already fairly open-minded to fade stuff, so getting the staff and communicating with valor felt pretty natural. she just. tells absolutely no one (except maybe solas) about it because she saw how the fuckin place reacted to cole skjdhfdksj 

- BUT YEAH — valor is free to roam between the fade and the staff, so it’s not trapped and chooses to help its friend for funsies and fulfillment!

- it felt like as close to legal as something like this could get without veering into anders territory, because valor isn’t trapped in the material world or really in the material world at all, it’s just sort of got a window through which it can help influence the person wielding the staff (which could lead to very bad things if the staff is put into the wrong hands obviously)

- fel hangs out with valor in her dreams, but does not at all understand what that means because she’s not really Studied. figures that it just has a connection to her and can enter her mindspace, not that she’s literally hanging out in the fade when dreaming

- queen is just out here learning from nature and trying to do her best

hello!! for the ask meme, 1, 4, 5, 11, and 28? (if these are too many tho you can just do the ones you feel like doing :])

HELLO 

1. favourite place in your country?

I mean unfortunately I haven’t had the opportunity to visit many places outside of the city but Scotland has a lot of beautiful islands. I once went on a boat trip for a week as part of a qualification course thing, and for the life of me I cannot remember the names of the two islands we visited but god they were stunning. 

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

So disclaimer I am not a native Scot lol my family originate from South Asia so me???? Liking white ppl food???... its more likely than you think LMAOO. Like as much as I wanna say I am very well-versed in Scottish culture and cuisine I am not, because I grew up in a very heavily SA populated area and so I have never felt the need to indulge in things like haggis (if you can get halal haggis that is) and like, deep-fried mars bars, and crisp and chip buttys. However I do like shortbread, I rarely eat it but its something my grandparents always have. Also batter fried fish and chips are i guess a classic. One thing I used to eat a lot in highschool were oatcakes, which I guess are largely associated with Scotland since I think we produce oats a lot. Yeah I’m talking about the bland dry oatcakes, and usually you would like put salmon and cream cheese on it and shit, BUT LET ME TELL YOU MY SOUTH ASIAN ASS WOULD PUT SAALAN/CURRIES ON THEM. IDK LOL personally I find them filling and satisfying and I like the texture, but they’re tasteless so back then I was like let me just put on left over curries for the flavour cause the oatcakes would soak it up.... Now I want oatcakes and some sabzi ka saalan. 

5. favourite song in your native language?

Uhhh I don’t think I have a fave song in ANY language there’s just so many I enjoy lol

11. favourite native writer/poet?

I say I’m not well-versed in Scottish culture but I am also not very knowledgeable with any Pakistani and/or SA writers and poets v_v I am not profoundly culturally in touch with SA poetry and writing besides what I see online. I need to really read more just no money. In terms of Scottish poetry unfortunately the only guy I was forced to learn in highschool was fuckin Robert Burns who I do not care for but remember his name cause his birthday is the same as my sibling’s lol. 

28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites?

Hell yeah we have so many Lochs here, don’t have a favourite because my family is boring and we haven’t visited a lot. Loch Lomond is overrated at this point lol.

i haven’t been the most consistent with journaling recently hahaha even my mooda app has many !!! empty days v_v but anyway, i thought i would like to document this down so 

yesterday !!!! was my first day of work HAHA which okay, NGL that i was so so so anxious the night before because i rly dislike new environments + sigh what if they don’t like me + past work experience started coming back LOL but i had to remind myself that !!! new beginning !!! and that it is not me but He who is in me. 

so anyway, the dumbest thing was actually....... i didn’t ask for the reporting time and they didn’t tell me either. naturally, i assumed that it was the usual reporting time, which was 9am but NO, it was actually 12pm. hahaha what a blunder to make on my FIRST day. but also, i DID think of asking but in the end i didn’t because i was afraid - mainly because i was already asking A LOT of things due to their lack of information, and i was afraid that they would be annoyed by me if i asked even such a simple thing which is already clearly written on the contract. i think asking for things brings a lot of anxiety in me that many times, i would rather. but also when something happens, then..... zzz. maybe its because i am scared i’ll be asking too many questions and it will make it seem like i don’t use my brain??? which was what someone said to me before but sometimes ???? i genuinely don’t know ???? then does it mean that i am dumb ??? idk hahaha but anyway !! all’s good. 

the people are quite nice so far, the company seems to have quite a strong culture and we have weekly devotions + bi-monthly corporate devotions which wow hahahah as much as i am a bit of a what if i am not holy enough for them but also, i think i appreciate a Christian culture HAHA might be true (or not), but i just feel like Christians tend to be more forgiving. which is rly impt for me (!!!) to know that people are patient/ willing to teach and etc. 

today, i’ll be meeting my team + my supervisor and lat night i tried to stalk them on linkedin/ google because HAHAHA anxiety. i’ll also be knowing my job scope, which i do hope there will be direct work although i’m not having high hopes because of the current covid situation + they did mention that this will be a year of building competency for the entire team + digitalisation of things. am quite excited because i rly enjoy learning new things :~) 

and !! phase 2 is starting this friday - i am so excited, not to meet people, but just to go out and sit somewhere and do my own thing HAHAHAHA and just a break from home i guess. i’m not ready for the human interactions but yay to having the freedom + place to be able to go around. and !! meet the bf heh

Writing 10,000 fics in my head of Tuvok spending domestic time with his children.

He gets a call that one of them is missing only for them to turn up at his station like “Hello father I desired to see you and so I am here! What is wrong?” It’s bring your daughter to work day and Asil ropes him into helping her solve a kid mystery (which somehow actually relates to an adult problem on the ship). Sek is thirteen now and insists he should be able to wear makeup (Tuvok disagrees) he should at least be able to practice wearing makeup?? please please please (Tuvok sighs and helps him with his makeup. Elieth also weasels his way into this despite being like ten.) Asil is dysphoric that she keeps being told how much she looks like her father. Tuvok listens to her then shows her a picture of himself at her age. A little girl? Asil asks. Tuvok tells her that that ‘little girl’ is him. Asil nods and suddenly feels much closer to her father and much less upset at the comparison between them. She keeps the photo with a picture of herself, always. Tuvok didn’t buy the right cereal. The replicator doesn’t make the right cereal. He has to go out and buy the right cereal. His son Elieth will go with him to make sure he doesn’t screw this up royally yet again. Tuvok falls asleep on the couch and wakes up to his kids playing a game where they pile as much random junk on him as they can without waking him. Tuvok falls asleep on the living room floor and wakes up to his kids all curled up around him/each other...nap time... Tuvok saves a famous yet reticent celebrity through his security measures (he is also notably the only one who doesn’t care about her celebrity, even Janeway’s starstruck) and is allowed to get her autograph which she like never gives out because writing in very special in her culture or something. He accepts it and when Janeway asks why Tuvok shows her that it’s made out to his oldest son, Sek, who is a big fan of hers. (Sek has actually long grown out of being a fan of hers but he doesn’t mention this to his dad and appreciates the gesture.) Tuvok’s kids meet Janeway’s dog and are in awe of this strange creature! One of them screams when Molly jumps on and tries to lick them. (A vicious attack!?) Disaster...but in the end, a little fun. Varith can’t read yet but insists he reads a book to Tuvok and Tuvok has to listen to his baby son go “And then they ventured all the way to the voroth sea...” (Mhmm...Tuvok says, eyeing the page which says ‘Red Dog Ra-Ruf’). This eventually leads to all his children making up a story. He finds he enjoys this display of structured creativity. After Sek is born Tuvok just spends an entire afternoon sitting on the floor looking at him as the boy sort of looks around and bangs blocks together. It is endlessly interesting. Asil gets her first period and there’s some kind of Vulcan ritual for it (to learn how to relieve and control the pain, nothing about woman/adulthood) and she chooses Tuvok to assist her through it instead of her mother. He considers this a great honor. It all goes well! Tuvok makes desserts for his children and T’Pel. Everyone loves them.  Tuvok tries to play a video game with his children but he just sucks so bad at it. T’Pel comes in and is absolutely amazing at it. Janeway spots Tuvok at some sort of future anime convention with like four bags of things and Tuvok looks so embarrassed to have been spotted (but of course he isn’t) and they both look at one another and know...Varith. v_v Tuvok giving his children lessons about how to control their facial expressions just leads to him making his children giggle themselves into hysterics for an hour. (They’ll get it eventually) Bath time and he (+ T’Pel) have to wrangle four children into it. One of his children keeps pestering him with personal questions and Tuvok is like what’s this all about?? and it turns out they are to write a faux biography for a person they consider heroic in school and he was chosen. Tuvok is honored. Tuvok trying to have a space zoom call with Janeway but in the background his toddler marches in and climbs onto his lap and starts babbling and he has to be like one second one second I just- (he ends the video but not the audio so Janeway’s snickering on the other end as she listens to him scolding the baby in Vulcan) Tuvok making a safety training holonovel for his children which he says is to help train them for dangerous situations (and it will/does) but also it’s just kind of a fun mystery+thriller for them and they love it.  Tuvok reading a million parenting books and relaying the tips to T’Pel who tells him to chill out. Tuvok quickly realizes the majority of these tips are useless. Tuvok incredibly frustrated because the new baby will not stop crying and his children are being grating/unhelpful but then after the dust settles and everyone’s calm he feels a great sense of satisfaction.  Tuvok has to play princesses with his children. It’s so fucking important. Tuvok helping his kids with their homework. Tuvok watching television with his kids. Tuvok teaching his kids how to swim. Orange peeling thing but specifically for his children <3 cares about them so much...
