I WILL NEVER BE OVER THIS

[youeggbastard]

Replaying DAI and trying to remember how to draw 🥲👍

[lavellane]

thinking about how that solavellan ending actually Works for lavellans who want that hopeful ending but arent as forgiving abt the whole situation as veilguard presented it. and i do think in ashara's case, yes, she goes with him out of love, but more so out of duty. post trespasser she drops the name lavellan in favor of her family name, dhavise, since her place in the clan had already been cast into question and her allegiances with the chantry/solas are cause for doubt as to whether she's even welcome back anymore. but i think by the end of veilguard she's reaffirmed her identity as Lavellan no matter what, and truly does see herself as the Keeper of not just her own clan but of her whole modern people, and with that rekindled purpose she chooses to watch over them all by way of watching over fen'harel. protecting them by protecting him from himself. which ironically is the reason the dalish HAVE keepers in the first place

[wyvernscales]

I’m just past the Ghil fight and omggggg the fact that my Rook is my Lavellan’s daughter is sooooo juicy

Spoilers:

Ughhhgbghf What if ur mom’s ex was trapped in your head and right when you were starting to warm up to him, he betrayed you. Right after a chat with your mom about how much she loved him and you told her that even after all these years he still made her happy and it was okay. And you’re not mad at her. You get the pressure she was under now, and you understand the choices she made. And he did that. What if your mom’s ex who you were gonna try to trust. For her. Bc you trust her. tried to trap you in a prison of your own regret. I’m ILLLL

[mittos]

If you wondered where I’ve been, I’ve been binging dragon age and I am now onto the trespassers DLC

[sapphodera]

No one asked for it but here is my Inquisitor’s family tree! Details/explanation under the cut

Talen looks much younger than Hallana because he died at 30ish and Hallana is 50ish

Talen looks much younger than Hallana because he died at 30ish and Hallana is 50ish

The siblings are ordered from youngest (Ghilana) to oldest (Dirthera)

Elori was conceived the night before the final battle with Corypheus, making her about 1 and a half years old by Tresspasser

(Also depending on the events of DA4 I might retcon Elori)

Ghilana and Somniar are both married, but I didn’t include their spouses bc neither of them have children and then this whole thing would be too complicated

I was playing around with the CC today and decided to make Marel’s sister! Her name is Ghilana and I imagine her as a companion for the Inquisition. She also romances Solas.

[harelan]

💋💘💜 for matilda !!

thank u taylah!!!!!!!

asks for ocs and their partners

💋 who is the best kisser?

probably solas. matilda is both inexperienced and sort of timid when it comes to intimate... stuff. whereas solas is in all probability Very experienced and also desperate. 

💘 what do they love most about their partner? what do their partner love most about them?

love MOST????? auuuugh uh matilda loves the confidence with which he holds his convictions. he doesn’t waver when he knows he’s right or apologize for unpopular opinions, and when he’s wrong he usually admits it pretty freely. she’s the same way so she really respects that

solas loves the genuine kindness and respect with which she treats just about everyone. aside from people who have caused real human suffering, even those who would otherwise hurt or dehumanize her, she still approaches without hostility. 

💜 give a random fact about their daily life together!

they constantly disappear together, to the point where it’s annoying or frustrating for everyone else. yes they do it while in the field, too. ESPECIALLY while in the field. they go on little exploration adventures for hours, sometimes overnight, once or twice even multiple days. yes, finding ruins to dream in, but also just to meet people and see glorious sunsets. 

if solas had his own way he’d spend the rest of his life doing that with her :)

Inquisitors

So I just learned that you can run multiple play-throughs at the same time wow i know so... yeah, I’ve been making a lot of new Inquisitors entirely elves

Here they are!

Ellana Lavellan. 29. First to Keeper Deshanna. Knight Enchanter. Former wife of Mahanon Lavellan, who died at the Conclave, and mother of Fendis, who died as a young boy. Later, wife of Cullen Stanton Rutherford. Forever banished from the Clan for her marriage to a shemlen. Sarcastic piece of shit. Besties with Bull, Vivienne and Varric, though she has a soft spot for Blackwall and Sera. Originally from one of the Rivaini clans on mainland Rivain but at the Arlathvhen was sent to join Clan Lavellan at the age of thirteen due to their shortage of mages.

Theneras Lavellan. 29. Hunter and blacksmith of Clan Lavellan. Twin brother of Ellana. Bisexual disaster who is far too mischievous for his own good. In love with a certain Tevinter mage, who actively disliked him for a while due to his insatiable flirting with Cassandra. Created a close knit group of idiots with Sera, Bull, Varric and Dorian. Joined his sister in banishment from Clan Lavellan, as although the Clan adored him, he too fell in love with a shemlen.

Ghilana Lavellan. 36. One of Clan Lavellan’s best hunters, known for keeping the peace when the Clan bumped into hostile shemlen. Altogether a diplomatic and inquisitive soul, many of her Clan were surprised when she chose to dedicate her studies and Vallaslin to Dirthamen, the God of Trickery and Secrets, which she maintains was down to her love of gaining knowledge through less than legal means, such as stealing manuscripts from shemlen libraries. Originally a city elf from Starkhaven, Ghilana joined the clan as a young girl when her parents fled the alienage to escape poverty and the executioner’s axe after her father took the blame for her stealing. Loves eggs, even if they take her vallaslin, leave her heart and then amputate her arm. Close with Solas obviously, Vivienne, Josephine and Cassandra, even if they do have their spats over their differing worldviews, though doesn’t get along well with Sera, Bull or Varric, finding them too untrustworthy.

this still hits just as hard all these years later 🥺

Ghilana Lavellan

My last inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Ghilena means “to guide” in Dalish elvish✨

[the-jade-goblin]

I made a mood board for my Inquisitors!

Want one like this for your Inquisitors? It’s easy and free! I’m feeling creative and I’d love to make you all your own mood boards too! 

All you need to do, is send me good screenshots of your Inquisitors! Either by reblogging this post, or submitting them into my askbox/message and I’ll make you your very own mood board!

[wyvernscales]

I have to make Ghilana a Rook somehow omgggg

The untapped comedic potential of fucking up your ex-stepfather’s(???) ritual to unleash the gods and trapping him in ur head

Like, no. She really didn’t know him that well. He’s hardly the father that stood up. But it’s SO FUNNY.

Ghilana: “Yeah so your weird ex is haunting my dreams”

Elara: “You too???”

FanFiction Writer Appreciation Day

i actually read very little fanfic right now because of hectic biologist life/mostly being outdoors + 90% of my “reading” happening via audiobook these days, but I did get back into Dragon Age fanworks again during quarantine/isolation times this spring! so just wanted to highlight the things i’ve been reading, and the writers who’ve created them, for fanfiction writer appreciation day :) Here they are in no particular order besides how I found them in my reblogs/many open tabs. 

Chapter works!

1. Till We From Winter Wake by @asaara-writes​: FenHawke, DA2: Hawke and Fenris are unexpectedly pulled into a Fairytale setting thanks to a mysterius book brought home from the Black Emporium. They must figure out what’s going on to find each other and the way back out. I adore fairytale settings, and I definitely loved this (I may be biased as I also prompted it, but it’s also the truth!). It features mystery, ballroom dancing, delectably unsettling body horror, dramatic fights in the garden, and moments of whirlwind romance between the pair.

2.  Loki by @littleblue-eyedbird​: Solavellan modern AU, Lavellan owns a kitten named Loki who causes mischief by repeatedly sneaking out to steal her neighbor Solas’ boxers... luckily this pushes the pair into interacting more and more. Super cute, super sweet, and super nice to cuddle up and read while you’re pretending the rest of the world doesn’t exist. I don’t really read much fluff but this is one I’m excited to see another chapter of!

3. A Lesson in Drowning by @theherocomplex: FenHawke, DA2. Something terrible is happening in Kirkwall, and something or someone is seeking Hawke out to warn her about it--or are they trying to kill her? This fic is full of secrets, intrigue, unreality, and drama, and Hawke’s descent into maybe madness (or maybe something much more sinister) is enthralling to witness. It’s also given me an entirely new perspective on Orsino that I love. 

4. The Respite Hollow (or, The Ice Was Cold and So Were Their Hearts Until They Fell in Love) by @loquaciousquark​: Fenhawke modern AU, Hawke and Fenris are both competitive figure skaters, and chance (or fate) pushes them together as a pairs partner. This fic is cute, dramatic, and suspenseful all in turn. Covers the confrontation with a modern-era Danarius who you will hate just as much as his cannon in-game counterpart. I have adored watching figure skating since I was a child (even though I failed out of my own lessons, and had to swap to the more brute-force sport of hockey instead) and this fic captures the same magic atmosphere as being in a freshly-zambonied ice rink.

5. Tread Softly by @hauntedfalcon​: FenHawke, post DAI Here Lies the Abyss. I’m now and forever an absolute sucker for Hawke-in (and falling out of)-the-Fade content. The pair (and other DA2 friends) take island life and sailing around the seas of Seheron to fun new heights as they get back to their fun former pastimes of killing slavers/freeing slaves. I always love to read depictions of the Fog Warriors, and was delighted to find a fic in which they more heavily feature. 

6. By Any Other Name and Sulevin Ghilana Hanin by @lesbianarcana​: Fenris x OC, post-DA2 and during the DAI timeline. These two fics are in the same universe, and fun because they feature Asher’s DAI companion OC, Nyssa, as well as canon-established characters. The first story is from Fenris’ perspective after the events of DA2, as he leaves Kirkwall to try to solve the alarming problem of his lyrium-tattoo induced powers no longer functioning correctly. The second is from Nyssa’s perspective as zie joins the Inquisition to help defeat Corypheus--but zie has more to hir backstory/motivations than you’d assume. Having an OC thrown into the mix gives some fun fresh perspectives on the Inquisition gang, and Asher is also doing an AMAZING comic adaptation of By Any Other Name as well!

Short fic! I love one-shots, ficlets, drabbles, and short things that don’t endanger bedtime or mean I have to get off my phone and onto the computer to read. Here’s some highlights!

1. Free by @nug-juggler​: FenHawke, DA2. Hawke dies during the encounter with Danarius. Fenris reacts. Y’all know I love to s u f f e r 

2. solivagants by @roseategales​: Solavellan, DAI. A wonderful tiny exploration of their relationship dynamic that is both painful and true.  

3. alpenglow by @morriqan​: Solavellan, DAI. a cute, steamy, and humorous morning. I couldn’t stop from smiling during this one.

4. Lost by @nug-juggler​: FenHawke, post-DA2. Back to wonderful angst!!! Fenris POV, and he is having trouble remembering exactly what went down in Kirkwall... and exactly how old their kids are. 

5. i. reality // ii. rise and fall by @littleblue-eyedbird​: Solavellan, post-DAI. a very short pair of wonderfully heartbreaking prose, full of that anger/desperation/ longing/regret that this pairing is perfect for.

6. Dulces Sueños, Cariño by @saraheliza95​: Zevran x Surana, DAO: ohoho it’s the ~massage~ scene for this pair, and Zevran is just as sultry as you could desire. 

7. First by @nug-juggler: FenHawke, DA2. Fenris’ first (and second, and third, and) kiss, plus the ever-enjoyable FenHawke bantering that must precede it.

Thank you to all the above writers for making this spring/summer a little more bearable <3

Some of my old writing;

Somehow, I'm excited and mildly surprised by how much I enjoy re-reading those Solas and Lavellan stories and others: #solavellan: 

Follow your heart  Ma vhenan ma ghilana.

Solavellan fanfic with a twist featuring Triss Lavellan and Solas.

Chapter One 

Short stories. Long stories. Prompts. Featuring some of my Inquisitors. Also Solas. Enjoy!

“Surrender”;  “A Kiss”;  and “Decision” featuring my OCs: namely a Dalish mage Loriel Lavellan and a human Dominic Trevelyan.   

Dominic ‘Dom’ Trevelyan is the Inquisitor. Loriel Lavellan is a Dalish Keeper who joined the Inquisition as one of the ‘close circle’. He is infatuated with her and yet she seems ‘too Dalish’ to act on her feelings. Solas is there to help. A definite canon divergence. 

Unexpected. AU fanfic featuring Solas/Dread Wolf. (NSFW)

After the Trespasser events, Solas walks through the eluvian only to find himself thrown into the modern-time England. Year 2016. Yup. That’s it.

------------------------------------

Short stories, usually written following the rule: ‘I come up with the plot as I go’.

Vhenan. (post Trespasser) She meets Solas in her dream. Is he real?  

Solas asks: Do you find me attractive? Well..

^ Lavellan asks: Do you find me attractive, Solas?  Kind of a follow up.

Eager. Lavellan and Solas are not getting on too well.

Ar lath ma vhenan - a poem of sort.

Inquisitor’s cousin. Ellana is the Inquisitor. Her cousin, Naheema Lavellan, comes to visit Skyhold. She’s been here for the last three months.

Secret admirer. Written for Valentine’s Day.

Secret Valentine. (aka ‘Be careful what you wish for’.)
