BORN TO THE SEA - A long overdue update

Genre //Adult Fantasy // Status // Finished 💕 Themes // a fall from grace | vengeance | justice | action & consequences | magic | loyality | survival | love | war | fate | rebellion | sacrifice | queer

Hi there, apologies because you may not remember me, or how you´ve ended up on this taglist. But I still remember you. 2019 you were by my side when I wrote the very first draft of my fantasy novel "Born to the Sea". Until 2021, when I finished my final draft tumblr felt very much like home to me. I shared my thoughts on writing, met new friends, and I’m forever grateful for all the encouragement, interest and love towards what has become an experience of a lifetime ...

I'm truly sorry for not keeping you updated. It's been over a year since I found a literary agent. Back then I wrote “Born to the Sea might actually be published – but only time will tell.”

What happened in the summer of 2022 surpassed my wildest fantasies: One of the major German publishers picked up the manuscript and I met the editor of my dreams: A person who understands the story and its characters on its deepest level ... and here I am, knowing that Born to the Sea will get published; knowing that I'll see my own book hit the stores next year and I still shake my head in disbelief … because all of this started here. With a rough Idea.

And it started with everyone who supported me. It started with you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Lots of love Elya💕

PS: Born to the Sea will be published under a different name, but I fear I can't reveal it just yet. PPS: If you have any questions, by all means, feel free to ask. If you want to keep following my journey to the release, I’m on Instagram these days, being a little more official. You’ll find me *here*. There is bonus art, too - I’m still painting. It would be lovely to see some familiar faces there.

Taglist: (love you, forever.)

I'm trying to get over it, and everyone has been so nice about that landscape I posted today, it's definitely been humbling ❤️❤️ Thank you again, love!!

Okay, I’m sharing this, despite my extreme nerves about it.

My beloved friend @ntbogoni shared this song with me, and I decided to learn to play it for her.

Please keep in mind that I am entirely self taught (both piano and vocals) and do not have proper recording equipment. Everything was recorded on my phone in my living room (it is super hard to sing loud enough to be heard over the piano without a microphone, btw).

That being said, I’m proud enough of it to dump it here and scurry of to work now, kthxbye!

Hello! I'm sorry if the question seems dumb, but your Hawke's tattoos seems like vallaslin! Do you have a HC for it? Just being nosy ^^ *hugs*

Hey there, don’t worry, it’s not dumb at all, and thank you for the interest :)

So, the honest answer:

I downloaded lots of mods before playing DA2 for the first time. One mod added lots of tattoos to the CC. I kind of ignored the fact that some of them looked like Vallaslin. I saw this one, loved it, said “Hey she can have a tattoo on her face right” and started to play. Only wondered what was wrong when I saw Merrill for the first time.

The headcanon I made up because of my dumbness:

Marlow has elvish ancestors so her family was always close with the Dalish Clan that lived nearby. She spent a lot of time with the local Elves and made some wonderful friends there. When her best friend got her Vallaslin, she insisted that Marlow got one too.

I actually don’t think that Dalish Elves would give a human a Vallaslin, no matter how close they’re with the clan, so I’ve been thinking about removing it. Maybe I’ll do that for my next playthrough.

Omg Halla is stunning!! I am in awe! I love her, I think it's my favorite Lavellan ever! ❤

Oh my good lord. I feel like I’m going to fall over. This is sooo nice of you to say and I’m so touched and I just????? Every Lavellan is so beautiful and wonderful and for you to say that is unbelievably flattering!! Thank you soooo much, you are wonderful and you just made my week ♥

And Halla says thank you as well!!!

[destinyapostasy]

UGH!! Your art is so good it makes me cry!! ❤

[emmayame]

Beautiful Inquisitor Enasalin Lavellan for the wonderful @ntbogoni . I hope I managed to capture her loveliness :)

[lady-redhaired]

Okay then! Zevran or Fenris? Talis or Bethany? Cassandra or Iron Bull? Solas or Purple!Hawke? :D

Honestly these happen to be pretty easy, here’s who’s getting banged:

Zevran or Fenris

Talis or Bethany

Cassandra or Iron Bull

Solas or Purple!Hawke

God Solas and Hawke was remarkably easy. I’m not actually into any Hawke. I think it’s a psychological thing. Since I’m technically him in game��

Hey thanks for sending this over! Stay minty fresh~
