Have you been meaning to replay Inquisition before DA:TV releases but haven't gotten around to it? Do you like Cullavellan angst and fluff? I've got just the fic for you:
The Revelation of all Things
Rating: Explicit
Fandom: Dragon Age
Relationships: Female Lavellan/Cullen Rutherford
This novelization of DA:I events:
clocks in at a 600K+ words to cover all main DA:I quests through the base game as well as original characters and events.
is COMPLETE!
overflows with both self-indulgent fluff and heartrending angst.
is rated E for later lemons but is actually a reeeealllyyyy slooooooow buuuuuurrrrnn.
contains at least one POV chapter for many of the inner circle members and glimpses at their lives within the Inquisition.
The real question, though, is why spend a week wandering around the Hinterlands when you could be reading this fic instead?
#dragon age#dragon age: inquisition#dragon age fanfiction#cullavellan#cullen x inquisitor#cullen rutherford#female lavellan#I rag on inquisition because I love it#the revelation of all things#it's an old fic sir but it still checks out#I've grown as a writer since posting this fic but I still like it a lot#maybe it's nostalgia#Or maybe it's just the years of work I put into it#But it's still my magnum opus

"Nobody talks about Fe8 or FE7's writing either and the Fandom is still alive !"
yep, and those 2 games too did not had the most impressive writing, it was Leon that carried Fe8's plot and FE7 had it's own problems. Engage's writing may be boring, but it ain't THAT bad.
We'll have to disagree about this anon, I think Fe8 despite being short, is one of the best written FE out there !
And it's Lyon lol, like the French city !
(rion in the jp version)
#anon#replies#FE7 is kind of milquetoast#Maybe it's nostalgia#But I liked it for what it tried to do#Fe8 is good though

real talk having the 2nd worst new years eve yet 🤢🤢🤢 (throat infection, twisted neck, banged-about-foot, ego AND the rest o' me all bruised like misjuggled peaches 🍑🍑🍑)
im bent outa shape and suspectin the universe owes me 8 buck if anyone wannsa chip in
#yes the 🍑🍑🍑was just an excuse to shove ass emojis in your face i'm only (occasionally. allegedly) human#now ask me about my FIRST worst new year eve. it involves wizards and portals and elaborate lies i make up on the spot#SAD REAL TALK <STARTS>:#also made the mistake of reaching out to my mom post-xmas#like what kind of c-ptsd NOOB does that. what kinda chronic holiday trauma survivor NOVICE??? embarrassing#THE SEDUCTIVE FALSE HOPE OF NOSTALGIA WILL LURE YOU IN EVERY TIME#'oh but maybe they won't disappoint me. but maybe they won't rip my heart out this time'#sweetheart that's your dear sweet inner child's yearning for what never was or will be. BEAT IT BACK WITH A STICK!#SAD REAL TALK <ENDS>#....back to that part where i talked about being bent out of shape#if anyone w/ metalwork skills wants ta take a blowtorch & hammer & tongs & have at... I'm open to experimentation is all im sayin#in lieu of that i would also welcome someone buying me a sandwich. i am. so sore.#(metaphysically sore but also the other more urgent im-at-my-daily-NSAIDs-limit kinda sore)#(hence: sanwimch)#...i got so sleepy writing this i started imagining the astonishing hedonism#of stroking a freshly grilled cheese-dripping sandwhich across my body like a loofah#the soothingness of the gooey warm near liquid cheese. the vaguely spongelike quality of toasted sourdough slice.#look i didn't imagine it on PURPOSE it just came to me like a vision like a threat#like one of those weird mens locker room ads where the sportsball is watermelon??? u know the one#where there's nudity & food & homoerotica & hot steaming showers in the background and STILL the overall effect is more offputting than sex#look i have a throat infection. i can barely swallow. i'm sipping chocolate milk to survive and i'm NOT EVEN ENJOYING IT. each drop is agon#(opposite side of the Tantalus spectrum but i'm suffering more than he has in 3.5 thousand years)#i'm dehydrated. barely conscious. electrolytes are circling down the drain. doctors should be incubating me w/ capri sun straws right now.#I GET A PASS ON THESE TAGS#i don't know what i wrote! and i don't stand by it! and you can't make me read em!!!

Simon petrikov coping FAIL compilation
#HNNNGGGNNN!! SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT EPISODE 2……#my art#adventure time#fionna and cake#simon petrikov#Fionna and cake spoilers#<- kind of??? maybe not really#I’m so glad ep 2 gave us some insight to that scene in obsidian#it’s such a shift from Simon saying he’d literally rather DIE than be the ice king again#BUT IT MAKES SENSE!#nostalgia can twist your perception of the past#and then mix that in with a metric ton of trauma !#‘things were simpler back then’#SIMON 99.5% OF YOUR LIFE AS ICE KING WAS AWFUL….#I mean in the later seasons he does gradually gain acceptance and fit in with the others#but that just makes the CURRENT simons situation so much sadder it’s like he’s back at square 1 in some ways#WILL THE ISOLATION EVER END?#OK IM DONE RANTING IN THE TAGS

born too soon to spend my teen years logging onto ao3 on my smartphone in the privacy of my own bedroom, born too late for mimeographed zines, born just in time to sneak into a common area of my family home at 2 am and wrap the modem in a thick blanket to muffle the screeching, so my parents wouldn’t catch me spending 18 cents a minute on long-distance rural dial-up to type my sexually confused hopes into webcrawler and lycos, praying maybe one other person on earth also liked the same character i did enough to make a web page about it. and that my connection to the information superhighway would hold out long enough to download 78 kilobytes worth of .txt files onto a floppy disk labeled “SCHOOL BACKUP” that i would guard with my life.

Storm is one of the most underrated and amazing songs in Epic for the sheer emotions you feel at the music. Prove me wrong.
#I love all the other epic songs don’t get me wrong#And they all have specific emotions tied to them#But I go feral when Storm starts playing#Maybe it’s the nostalgia of hearing it fully for the first time last year sitting in the dark watching the livestream#But i love it so much#Epic the muwical#Epic the ocean saga#storm

moody little sir gwaine what will he do
#gwaine#bbc merlin#bbc merlin fanart#sir gwaine#idk what exactly is going on here i just doodled this despondent gwaine while on call#but then sometimes i think abt eoin macken saying#that gwaine doesnt die at the end just wakes up with no memories and walks off to have his own quests#(the green knight???)#and so maybe thats whats going on and hes just having a moment of inexplicable nostalgia for something imprecise and unremembered#that or its s3 and hes like i dont have any friends ;(#everybody hates my whimsical ways and stupid ribbons i tie around my thigh high boots ;((#dw mr gwaine i saw your chanel boots#this guy gas such a drawable nose#pointy little ragdoll#my art

started off as me redrawing some of my initial mairon designs and ended up going on an rpg tangent 😭 i really wish i could have done the portraits in a pixel art style to better fit the aesthetic but my canvas wasnt the right size!!! i ended up changing annatar completely (im still contemplating how much i prefer this one compared to his old one however...!) and adjusting post-numenor sauron a bit when compared to their old 2022 sketches! im probably gonna do more redraws in the months to come cause of all the stuff i wanna change when i look back to some of my old designs haha 😳
bonus: void delusions (nebula background designed by Freepik)
i like to think each 'form' sauron takes eventually has different mannerisms and likes/dislikes the longer he stays in them without shapeshifting into something else, but one thing they all have in common is being predisposed to nagging melkor 😎
#silmarillion#mairon#sauron#annatar#tar mairon#melkor#silm#maybe i had a little too much fun with the rpg stuff.... ONE DAY... one day i will learn to program....!#i like to think his go-to look is the blonde one from when he was in the mairon and sauron-gorthaur era#which is why tar-mairon looks so similar to those two eras hehe#i wanna try and make annatar a bit more distinct from them next time....#anyways im in a bit of a lotr nostalgia phase bc i saw war of the rohirrim and surprisingly i liked it!!#mostly because of hama.... he reminded me of maglor quite a bit 🥹#i was apprehensive going into it but ended up enjoying it haha... tho its prob bc i dont know any of the 3rd age rohan lore#i should probably brush up on everything else that doesnt concern the elves...!! forgive my ignorance professor tolkien#the silmarillion#silm art#third age#second age#silmart#morgoth#khamul#nazgul#irmo#maiar#valar#lotr#tolkien fanart

#goro akechi#akechi goro#persona 5#persona 5 royal#p5 akechi#p5 spoilers#persona 5 fanart#jesst some art#i may have worked on this for... just under two weeks? i had like. so many fckgin thoughts i might make a process/concept breakdown post#it's honestly just for my own peace (haha piece) of mind because i overthought about. SosoooOoOo many motifs and symbols and i just wanna#idk PUT EM ALL somewhere........ maybe it'll become its own jessay of mine. god. who can say.#also DUDE tumblr rly does crunch up quality wow ouch#unironically a core thematic inspiration for this piece is a quote from the folding ideas' video 'the nostalgia critic and the wall'#'it doesn't all make sense or resolve or coalesce because we don't all make sense'#'everyone is the illusion of order constructed brick by brick out of chaos'#i've watched that video essay through at least. a dozen times at this point. everything about it. yeah. it's good.#this piece initially went many different directions and i have realized ah yes to fully explore just THESE themes that i'm interested in as#they relate to goro akechi i will need to draw. at least two more pieces. sdlfhsdlkfjsd

#patfw#patfw fanart#patfw spoilers#rainhaze#THE NEW ISSUE. IT SURE WAS AN ISSUE HUH. I AM NORMAL. SO NORMAL IN FACT#THAT I REDREW A PANEL OF THE COMIC IN MS PAINT#i need someone to put this horrid beast down already. he needs to DIE i am not joking. euthanise him. please.#he is soooo fascinating.#i CANT get over his expression in this panel. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM#hes smiling .is it a genuine smile? is he smiling bc he knows how this is going to go and all he can do is laugh now?#why. why why why the smile. at first he looks shocked or surprised or terrified but THEN it turns into this playful soft grin. as if full o#nostalgia. or maybe grief. or maybe joy. he looks like he knows something we dont.#did he accept that his family is going to get wiped out (HIS FAULT HE KILLED HER HE RIPPED HER THROAT OUT) and is just happy he got to see#them one last time?#this is so weird. before killing asphodel he was so terrified of meeting them. of facing his past and acknowledging what he became.#is him smiling a symbol of him giving up? becoming part of defiance? hes not running away anymore. he doesnt have to.#jesus.#my art#wanted to make him look as fucked up as i could. i hope he looks like a corpse or perhaps a starved dog to you
