Dear diary,

My stylus came in today. I have only cried twice. It’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna get through this. 

I almost lost my file and made that 3 whole cries, but everything is fine. I’m fine. 

Special thanks to my bb Theia Trevelyan, first born of my line, for being my guinea pig.

oc interview meme

I was tagged by the lovely @trvelyans to write a hypothetical interview of one of my OC’s! So, I did everybody’s favorite ice-haired toasted cinnamon roll, Theia!

1. What is your name?

“I have a lot of names nowadays, I suppose. Inquisitor, Herald of Andraste, Your Worship. Maker, someone called me “Sarah” the other day, and I didn’t correct them. I suppose that says something about how jaded I’ve become with all my misnomers.“

2. What is your real name?

“What, not Goddess? Well, if you were to ask my Father, it would be Theia Sofia Trevelyan. I was given the prettiest name out of all three children, I should add.“ 

3. Do you know why you were called that?

“The name “Theia” means “holy,” an adjective my family is particularly fond of, as I’m sure their reputation entails. My middle name “Sofia” means wisdom, so quite literally, my parents wished to imbue me with “holy wisdom.” Maker’s breath, isn’t that some sick joke now?“

4. Are you single or taken?

“My occupation would insist single, the gossip would say taken many times and by many people. But, the truth? Hopelessly taken by one remarkable woman. Please tell her I said that, so she’s softened up when I tell her I ate the last piece of peanut brittle.“

5. Have any abilities or powers?

“Are you joking? Who doesn’t know the answer to that question after all I’ve been through. You cannot hide the fact that your body is a walking lightning rod when it’s gotten you in and out of the Fade twice, closed a Breach in the sky, and survived weaponized time magic.

But, for the sake of not sounding egotistical, yes, I do. I am a Mage who focuses on ice and storm abilities. I also have this most inconvenient mark on my hand that is embedded elven magic. Try bringing that up casually at parties.“

6. Stop being a Mary Sue.

“It isn’t “being” anything if you’re honestly that good.“

7. What’s your eye color?

“Purple. Yes, purple. It’s a maternal trait that just happened to match with my powers. People think I’m so fashionable but I really could not help it.”

8. How about your hair color?

“Ice white, pale blonde? I switch between the two. Regardless of its category, it’s rather hard not to point out in a crowd. Another one of my family’s most generous gifts.“

9. Have you any family members?

“For better or worse, yes. My parents, though my Mother, Stefania Lisoleth Trevelyan -- Maker, she sounds as pompous as she was in real life -- has since passed. My Father, Tristian Trevelyan, still resides in the Free Marches. There’s my insufferable brother who is his namesake. My sister, Lucilla Victoire, is older and married to some nobleman I haven’t cared enough to get to know. You can spot us rather quickly, we’re the group of emotionally suppressed faces with icey hair.“

10. Oh? What about pets?

“I have a small cat whom I rescued from Crestwood. She is young and tabby in color, and I just adore her! I wish I was here more to actually bond with her. She wanders Skyhold rather freely, much to everyone’s chagrin. Her name is Obsidian, after the kinds of metals we found in Crestwood. I call her “Sid” for short.“

11. That’s cool I guess, now tell me about something you don’t like.

“If Ambassador Montilyet were to hear someone actually asked me to list out my dislikes, she’d be furious. I am rather obnoxious with my opinions. I dislike pretentiousness, disloyalty, and shallowness. So, perhaps I should say the vast majority of the Orlesian Empire.“

12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing?  

“Reading, practicing my magic, and provoking Josephine’s temper. I do not have the time for much else, these days.”

13. Ever hurt anyone before?

“Oh, plenty, yes. Pick a more specific category.”

14. Ever… killed anyone before?

“Are you joking, again? I swear you must be. If you must know, you can read whatever filthy periodical is making rounds in the towns and villages of Orlais.”

15. What kind of animal are you?

“This would be a fantastic question for Morrigan, I’d imagine. But as for me, I don’t shapeshift or liken myself to animals. Although, people suggest I look rather animalistic when I am in the heat of combat.”

16. Name your worst habits.

“I am very self-conscious and insecure at times. I take things personally, and I feel culpable when there is injustice. Though, I do not necessarily see that as a flaw all of the time. Plus, in this role I’m in, I feel it to be most fitting.”

17. Do you look up to anyone at all?

“Of course I do! After all, both the Hero of Fereldan and the Champion of Kirkwall are Mages, and women, for that matter. I would be foolish not to have admiration for them, and feel humbled in my own shoes. I also have quite a bit of respect for Cassandra and Leliana. They have stewarded this movement with courage and resolve in spades. I consider myself honored to be able to work with them and be a leader amongst their ranks.”

18. Gay, straight, or bisexual?

*A whole minute of feisty, jubilant laughter* 

19. Do you go to school?

“I used to, if you’d call a Circle that. Most would say “formal blood-bath with books,” but, there you go.”

20. Do you ever want to marry and have kids one day?

“I didn’t used to, but then I met someone who sold me on such dreams. While I do not really allow myself to aspire to such domestic joys, I do find that they have grown on me as ideals. However, Josephine and I are two women who do not know how to keep ourselves out of work or trouble. But, if I were honest, I’d marry her tomorrow if given the chance.”

21. Do you have any fanboys/fangirls?

I try my best to be a combination of intimidating and austere, but, I do have a following. Mostly of children, actually, especially the children of the Mages here. They scarcely have examples of Mages who are not demonized or erased from history, so, when they see us walking the halls or grounds, it’s like storybook characters come to life for them. I take pleasure in providing them with someone to look up to, even when I feel that I fail them sometimes. 

As for the adults, I would not wish to condescend and call them my fans, since they are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line for this cause. Especially those who joined us in Haven, when we had next to nothing. If anything, I am their fan.  

22. What are you most scared of?

“Letting everyone down, and proving to be less than the person who was needed. Losing the people I love, or endangering them unnecessarily. Being a fraud or imposter. Oh, and accidentally throwing out Josephine's stash of chocolates.”

23. What do you usually wear?

“I prefer a good fit of a hunter coat and breeches and some boots. When we travel, I am usually armored very well. On my off hours, a simple night dress would do. People say I have a flare for style, but, I am really just a product of my short-lived upbringing in the Free Marches. Women there are always smartly dressed, if not modest.”

24. Do you love someone?

“Romantically? Yes, completely. But I also love my friends, and my community here. Love, to me, is a protective and honorable virtue. The way I fight for what matters is by loving the person or the cause at hand. Perhaps that causes me more trouble than it’s worth, but, that is who I am.”

25. When was the last time you wet yourself?

“How can you honestly expect me to answer that? Also, if you’ve ever asked someone who bleeds once a month, you’d be surprised.”

26. Well, it’s not over yet!

“Oh, joy.”

27. What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class)

“My family is noble in our region, so I would say lower rung of the high class. The Free Marches is a self-governing province, at least, as much as one can be in the shadow of two Empires. If you have an long-winded ancestry in the region, you’re allowed a lot of privileges.”

28. How many friends do you have?

“Too many, especially the kind that likes to get into trouble for the sake of being a hero. You need some friends? Take mine, and give me a break.”

29. What are your thoughts on pie?

“Mediocre at best. You want a pleasurable dessert experience? Go with cake, always.”

30. Favorite drink?

“Tea, actually. I drink copious amounts of wine, sure, but nothing soothes the soul like a good cup of tea. Solas and I have engaged in discourse about this matter plenty of times.”

31. What’s your favorite place?

“If I were to answer that honestly, Josephine would have my clothes set on fire. Something about “not disclosing the intimate nature of a Diplomat’s life” or whatever. So, I will name my second favorite: the Emerald Graves at dawn, when the colors of the sky foreground the greens and blues on the land. It’s stunning, really. I hope I can commission a painter to recreate it so that I may have a piece of it forever.”

32. Are you interested in someone?

“Hah, as Dorian would say, yes of course, I am a endlessly interesting person, after all.”

33. What’s your bra cup size and/or how big is your willy?

“Enough. They’re enough.”

34. Would you rather swim in the lake or the ocean?

“Swimming in an ocean? The thought of it brings me ecstasy! Ocean, of course. Imagine the trouble I could get into, maybe make a few glaciers, float on an ice sheet...nevermind.”

35. What’s your type?

“Someone with the utmost integrity in their deeds, who has a golden heart and knows that kindness and compassion are two of the most powerful elements in the world. Also, if they are a fiery-tongued Antivan, that melts my icey heart, too.”

36. Any fetishes?

“I have tastes, of course. Though, I keep the number of people who are aware of them to a minimum, need-to-know basis.”

37. Seme or uke? Top or Bottom? Dominant or Submissive?

“A capable fighter knows a little bit of everything. I like creativity the most in love.”

38. Camping or indoors?

“Whichever gets me in the closest proximity to food.”

39. Are you wanting the interview to end?

“Of course not, but, look at the time! I surely have to return to being the scourge on the land and Andraste’s chosen, right? Pfft, days were not made with my workload in mind, I’m afraid.”

40. Now it’s over!

“Fantastic. Do take care, and travel safe.”

I’m tagging @kvpowers, @the-rogue-apostate, @lelianasing, and @orlesianbard and anyone else who wishes to participate! Love and light!

Theia Trevelyan: im really not the type to cause drama and fanfare, ya know, I’m chill

Josephine: *kisses her once*

Theia:

Theia: ‘tis I, the most power-y of power lesbians. Hear me roar. Missing box of potatoes? Treason, we ride at DAWN

[veridium]

Is theia good with math like what are her feelings on the matter

Well, let me just put it this way:

The sand blurred her vision even with the cover of her cowl, as they surveyed the horizon line. Several gleaming points, shards for the collecting, dotted the vast scape. Theia turned away from the wind current of sand and dust to check in with the Seeker, who stood steadfast in the face of the unpleasant conditions.

“That makes 12. With any luck, we should find half of them by nightfall.”

Cassandra nodded observantly, but as Theia walked past her back to her horse, trudging through the sand of the embankment, the Seeker got a look of confusion.

“Inquisitor!” she called down, remaining elevated.

Theia turned around and looked up at her from the corner of one eye, holding a hand flat above her browline. “Yes, Seeker? What, is the view to picturesque for you to remove yourself?”

“You said 12. We spotted 4 on the southeast ridge line, but only 5 here. That makes only 9 shards to collect.”

A silence filled by the overwhelming wind gust that filled the air around them. When it settled some, Theia responded.

“Only 9?”

“Yes. Where did you count the remaining 3?”

Theia looked down at the ground, feeling the blush in her cheeks as she realized her miscalculation. In the face of such embarassment, what was Theia Trevelyan to do besides do it with flare.

“Maker, Cassandra, they could be a yard up my ass and illuminating my stomach for all I care. Nine shards. They won’t just meander their way to us! Let’s go!”

“Inquisitor,” Cassandra mused as she began her steady stumbling down the sand wall they had climbed up. “You could also say you miscalculated.”

Approaching their horses, Theia shrugged. “I have no idea what you are talking about. An estimate is called an estimate for a reason. Numbers are subjective.”

“I learned no such thing in my schooling, Inquisitor. Numbers are concrete.”

“Yes, well, so was Haven, but now it’s pretty much open to interpretation just how well that all worked out for us.”

“…Point taken, friend.”

Should my next chapter in my #Theiaphine romance arc be

a). they run off and get married

b). they marry and run off

c). the wedding is officiated by iron bull

d). more heartache and despair but always with a glimmer of hope that feels just as painful as the heartache stuff

[veridium]

Me, the writer, placing obstacles in the way of her relationship with my own bare hands: FOR PITY’S SAKE CHILD WOULD YOU JUST GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER !!

[veridium]

Ahh! My girl!

Thank you to @kvpowers and @jentrevellan for being lovely and sneaky. This is such a gift and a surprise. I’m forever sappy about it! Thank you so much 💛

Also wow you’re gonna make me cry!? The honor is all mine, friend! You are a blessing, thank you for existing. ✨

*coughs*

I slid into @jentrevellan’s last ko-if event, and snagged a little piece for @veridium-bye!

Thank you for always being so delightful, my friend! You were my first friend in this fandom and have been a constant source of life and energy and creativity. This is a small way for me to pay that back!

Also I love bby Theia so much.

[veridium]

Today’s the day! Today’s the day! Today’s the D A Y 

[veridium]

ugh

I’m stuck on how I want to write and depict the conflict between Josephine and Theia with the presence of her past being so literal via Veronica. Because I have been working up to this for so long -- Theia having to come to terms with how entrenched her past is in her mind and body, how it has embedded itself in her politics -- with the new chapter she’s in, including her relationship.

*Rolls around* I JUST WANT THEIA TO NOT COMPROMISE WHO SHE IS BUT AT THE SAME TIME EMPOWER HERSELF TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE AND HEAL. AND LOVE FREELY. AGH.

[veridium]

🎪🌹🍒 for Theia?

Sure thing, friend! Hope you are well.

🎪 What would their favorite ride at an amusement park be?

Oh, definitely the scariest roller-coaster, even though she’d be scared shitless on the inside. She’d have to prove she could take it on.

🌹 What songs remind you of them?

Oh, boy. *Pulls out entire muse playlist* haha, kidding. I listen to a lot of Halsey’s music for writing Theia, as well as Alicia Keys and Hayley Kiyoko. These are some of the best songs:“Doesn’t Mean Anything” by Alicia Keys“Let it Be” by Hayley Kiyoko“Ghost” by Halsey “New Americana” by Halsey

Bonus: “Young Blood” by bea miller!

🍒 What are some items they always carry? What weapon do they favor using if they exist in a world where weapons are necessary?

Theia always carries incense with her in all her travels, because it calms her, helps her focus as well as sleep. She also carries a dagger blade for most every excursion, mostly because her old friend Roslyn (and Veronica, too) did so and always believed Mages should be versatile in their weaponry and combat skills.

In terms of favorite weapons, though, she definitely would say her Magic and then her blades. She is very out of practice with blade wielding, but she can be scrappy enough in a dispute. She likes to watch and learn from her allies – particularly Cole and Cassandra – to build her skillsets during the Inquisition.

Thank you for asking!

[veridium]

reflection on theia sacrificing herself to the fade

Like, yeah, she survives or whatever, and the anchor reveals it has the capacity for sentience and projecting its intentions into spirit essence, but

can you imagine how pissed Josephine’s gonna be when she finds out Theia just tossed herself between people and a giant nightmare demon 

(don’t worry I’m gonna explore both subplots I’m just excited for the argument is all)

[veridium]

no offense but theia is literally a goddess and i would die to protect her

SAME, FRIEND, HARD SAME. 

She’s such a well-meaning, calloused bb I just want the best for her *continues to put her through it* just all the time, nothing but good things *ruins her day * and constant blessings *makes her cry*

[veridium]

I feel like my OC has officially made it now that I am getting inboxes dragging her for her disdain for math 

like, cue “Beverly Hills” by Weezer we have hit the big break baby

[veridium]

Hint as to next horrible thing I’m gonna do to my OC arch plot point:

Theia had four compatriots in the Rebellion days

Olivia, who is now under a patronage in Monstimmard, and was the posh and refined one,

Roslyn, who is presumed dead after being projected in the Fade, who was the tenacious and spirited warrior of the group, but no one has been able to track or find out her fate or location

Naomi - took on the position of Healer and was last spotted near the Hinterlands, and has been tracked and sighted but remains reclusive under mysterious circumstances.

Veronica - the savvy and most rogue-spirited one, who was last spotted in Denerim but is missing

Guess which one will show up. Hint, it’s the one who knew a certain ice-haired maiden had an affinity for her.

[veridium]

So I found an old short story I wrote about Theia

It is an episode with her family and I think I just kept it hidden because I believed it was too fluffy

Would y’all read like to read it? It’s pretty funny and heartaching
