started a second playthrough last night ^-^
i want to ramble about her under the cut
i had the idea of wanting to play someone who obsolutely idolised the HoF growing up. my HoF was a dwarf noble warrior who basically devoted her life to the wardens after origins, and this rook wanted to see herself in the HoF so badly that she put everything into learning to fight, when she transitioned she chose a similar name (HoF is Sunniva, rook is Signy), and then voluntarily joined the wardens as soon as she was old enough
and then realised that it's nothing like the stories. there's very little glory. darkspawn suck. the people in command suck. other wardens suck. everything sucks but going home isn't an option. getting to step away from the order for a while was probably the best thing that could have happened
i think her growth through the story of the game is being forced to actually connect with people rather than see them as eternal acquaintances. and maybe try and stop idolising other people and follow her own trajectory. or something
one more picture because it made me laugh. i didn't see harding there until i was looking at the screenshot later
#mainly i just thought it would be quite fun to play someone kind of like my warden. because i love her#i'm excited for more warden stuff >:)#her hair is meant to be more blond the colours in the prologue are messed up i've quickly realised#i also think i want to change her hairstyle halfway through the game or something. growth <3#oc: signy

happy friday & welcome back to DADWC! for f!Inquisitor & f!Cousland (đđ): And the heart is hard to translate, it speaks a language of its own
-inquisimer
First piece back @dadrunkwriting! Somehow the quote part of this ended up being about cats? Also, I've finally caved and given my Trevelyan-adjacent inquisitor an actual surname.
"A dog, especially a mabari, you can figure out,â said Commander Elissa Cousland. âBut these bastards? Canât translate their thoughts into people-talk. Itâs just not possible. Cats are a mysteryâ
Signy Carrow, recently named the Inquisitor and thus now Elissaâs boss and not just an equal on the leadership council, looked like she might actually laugh for a moment before settling back into the serious expression sheâd worn since arriving at Skyhold. She hadnât taken a break except to sleep since then, either, and if that line nearly got her laughing then she might just be a little delirious from how little of that sheâd been doing.
Elissa placed the orange cat sheâd removed from the wartable on a windowsill, where it walked it gave her a reproachful look, walked in a circle three times, and settled down to nap in the sunshine.
âSo much for his invasion of Nevarra,â the Inquisitor said. It took a second for Elissa to realize that the Signy wasnât speaking in an exhausted monotone, but with a dry, deadpan sort of humor.Maybe, Elissa thought, sheâs going to be okay. And if the Inquisitor could make it to okay, maybe the rest of them could, too.

hi heather hope you feel better soon!! i would love to hear what kind of music some of your ocs would enjoy !!!!! ruindis signy and tindawen esp..my faves <3 maybe both in universe and with modern music? đ¤
hiiiii mina love this question!!!
so for tindawen one of my favourite things about the teleri is that another name for them is the solosimpi which means "pipers of the sea" so i imagine she knows how to play the pipes and also loves to dance to them!! i wonder if she also feels a special connection to the Song of the water... wah
in a modern world i think she'd love super upbeat pop music that you can dance to, and also with an empowering message. sample playlist
new rules (80s remix) - dua lipa
treat me - chloe
don't call me up - mabel
mi amor - nova miller
love a girl right - little mix
for ruindis i imagine she knows a bit of dwarven music from her interaction with them, she sings drinking songs with the lads and when she's alone she also likes singing lullabies to celebrimbor ;_;
in the modern world she has a carefully curated angry girl /bad bitch playlist. she's also intimiately familiar with the cocomelon songs. sample playlist
gross - princess nokia
suck it up - monaleo
cvnt - sophie hunter
daddy af - slayyyter
not friendly - flo milli
and finally for signy she knows a lot of bawdy drinking songs from her barmaid days but she doesn't like to sing those much because she's cut herself off from those days. she also knows a lot of religious devotional songs. i think she can probably play an instrument too as many dwarves can!!
in the modern world i think she'd like lyrical country-style songs. sample playlist
mother - kacey musgraves
coat of many colours - dolly parton
landslide - the chicks
follow your arrow - kacey musgraves
wolf - first aid kit

Late to the party, but here's all my norn!

Hjalmar Emberhowl
My Spellbreaker and Second Main, Hjalmar's one of two commanders, the other commander being his adoptive sister Liana, whom he also co-leads Dragon's Watch with. Mar's also the Champion of Vlast, mirroring Liana being the Champion of Aurene. He's the son of Signy Ornkin and Ingvar Frostfury, although he refuses to acknowledge Ingvar since he abandoned his family and became the Fraenir of Jormag (eeyup, the very Fraenir that's fought in Icebrood Saga is Mar's dad in my fractal of Tyria). He's also the half brother to Nora Fenrisdottir and stepson to Kaja Ravenseeker. Aside from defending Tyria from all the horrors fate seems to throw at it, Mar's got a pretty strong passion for cooking, even having dreams of opening his own cafe or restaurant someday.

Marit Trickshot
Deadeye and official scout for Dragon's Watch. Marit's a childhood friend of both Liana and Hjalmar, as well as a follower of the Spirit of Fox. She's also Canach's dearheart. Marit's pretty good at tracking and is a natural with her sniping skills, having helped the Lionguard a number of times with repelling Svanir raids in addition to taking out the cultist's strongholds. Eventually, she decides she can't let Hjalmar and Liana have all the fun and joins the Pact following the Battle of Claw Island. Currently, she's been helping Canach run his social club in Arborstone, but the news coming out of Janthir has been hard to ignore, as she's considering following her friends once again in whatever adventures await.

Kaja Ravenseeker
Reaper, Shaman of Raven, and a Vigil Tactitian. Kaja's the adoptive mother of Liana and the stepmother to both Nora and Hjalmar, as well as Signy's wife. Her late sister, Elina Ironsong, was the wife of Warmaster Forgal Kernsson, and Kaja remained fairly close to her brother-in-law throughout the rest of his life. Forgal's own sacrifice at Claw Island is what prompted her to join the Vigil, determined to keep the legend of both him and her sister alive. While she's not on havroun levels of power, Kaja is still considered pretty powerful for a Raven shaman, being known to call on ravens to aid her in times of need. Her own reaper shroud is even affected by this, taking on a shadowy variant of her own Raven form.

Signy Ornkin
Soulbeast, Shaman of Wolverine, and Order of Whispers Agent. Signy is the mother of Hjalmar and Nora and the adoptive mother of Liana, as well as the wife of Kaja. Her first husband and Nora's father, Fenris Stormbreaker, fell in battle against the Sons of Svanir while defending a Kodan Sanctuary. Her second husband and Hjalmar's father, Ingvar Frostfury, abandoned them to join the ranks of the dragon cultists, ultimately rising up to the rank of Fraenir. Ingvar would have taken Hjalmar with him as well had Signy not torn his arm off during the attempted kidnapping. Signy's fiercely protective of her family, and has been known to not hesitate to throw herself in danger's way if it meant keeping her loved ones safe.

Nora Fenrisdottir
Renegade, member of Dragon's Watch, and Vigil Captain. Nora is the daughter of Signy Ornkin and Fenris Stormbreaker, half sister to Hjalmar Emberhowl, and adoptive sister to Liana. She's also the wife to my sylvari tempest, SiobhĂĄn. Nora had originally been a guardian, but at some point following the death of Zhaitan her flames flickered out and were replaced by mists energy. What's more, she found herself hearing the voice of her long-dead father echoing in her head, guiding her hand in combat. Combining this with the fact she could no longer take on her Wolf form, Nora is choosing to view this as a challenge that the Spirits of the Wild are putting before her in crafting her legend rather then allow the seeds of doubt overtake her with the notion that they abandoned her.

Rorik Thorvaldson
Scrapper and member of Dragon's Watch, as well as a member of Taimi's Krewe. Rorik had grown up in Lion's Arch most of his life, primarily raised by his Lionguard father Thorvald Steelforge, having lost his mother when he was barely a year old. When Thorvald was killed during a Risen attack on one of the Lionguard outposts, Rorik was taken in by his partner at the time, an asura named Phex and his wife Valla. Sometime before the events of the personal story, Rorik had looked into a job prospect that ultimately turned out to be a trap, finding himself and a number of other unlucky individuals as test subjects for the Inquest. Rorik had to endure grueling tests and experimentations involving chaos magic, resulting in him developing electromagnetic abilities. He remained trapped in the labs for about a year and a half until he was sprung out by a known vigilante and son of the overseer in charge of him, Yazz the Reckless. Since then he and Yazz have been sabotaging Inquest labs while also looking for the friends Rorik had made among the other test subjects.

Havroun Ursula
Dragonhunter and the new Havroun of Bear. Another childhood friend of my commanders, Ursula is the daughter of the late Havroun Grechen. She had been training under the watchful eye of her mother ever since it was shown that she had a strong connection to Bear and the Mists themselves, up until Grechen left for Orr to aid in the fight with Zhaitan. With her mother's death, Ursula strives to do her best with the aid of her fellow havrouns, hoping she can prove herself worthy as Grechen's successor.
ALL RIGHT NOW
fellow Norn enjoyers, I want to see your favourites! Gimme a pic (and tell me about them a little if you so desire)! Show them off! Or if you can't pick a favourite, gimme all of them!
(seriously though, I love Norn characters so much, please don't be shy, flood my dash)

which oc do you wanna see first?
I was board at school and I drew these but I'm not sure which ones I should draw digitally and which ones I should abandon,
I'll tell you a little about the toons and then have a pool, let's start

Sporky: is one of the fancier toons that loves to collect follows and grow them, would have an ability like finn, where he gets a speed bost when a mechine is finished.

Frosting bag/frosty: would be friends with cosmo and sprout but would only like baking cakes, would own a bakery and would be a healer, but he can also heal 2 hearts at a time if the toon needs it.
Belle: would be a younger kid but older then toodles, that would have an ability like rubies to bost themself forward, would see Shelly as her mom, her bell hole is her face (i think its a smart idea).

Boomby: would be a pirate that would see her friends as her crew, and others as her enemy's that she needs to sink, she has a peg leg and a hook, but their both fake, would be able to blast a cannon ball at a toon to push them forward.

Cuppy: would be a younger kid that would kee craking everytime he got hurt. (I don't have alot for him)
Pencil case: (placeholder name) would be a English teacher for toodles. Would have a pencil/apple trinket, I don't have that many ideas for him.

(all of them are janitors)
Wet signy: (placeholder name) is a little dumb and asks like goob, would have an ability like booblet where he turns into a wet floor sign for 20 seconds and all twisteds will ignore him.
Plugger: (place holder name) would be known to get stuck to things and would not have any social awareness, would have the ability to grab a toon and carry them around.
Paper towel: (place holder name) would hate his job due to getting a bunch of wets spots on him, before that he use to LOVE it. Would have an ability like tisha but with the affects of shellys ability.
(I will also take a small break until the pole ends)

remember time ago i offered an idea of a plot?
well, that's going to be posted while i finish the next works of the flawed virtues series!
we have a small peek under the 'read more' but allow me to share some of it with you first; this will be about 'adult' (sensitive) topics.
Title: Through the influence of Aphrodite
Summary: Those who give in to their passions, carve out their own prisons.Â
Note: The main plot of this is "someone attacked us with an aphrodisiac and now we are trapped together" to then have them realize that they always felt something for each other, basically. Thatâs it. Thatâs the whole thing. Plus angst and some funny situations, as usual.Â
Tags: Javier Asrahan/Kim Suho | Lloyd Frontera, Original Characters, use of aphrodisiacs, Inappropriate use of aphrodisiacs, they're high basically, and they lose their memories in the first chapters, so Lloyd thinks forced Javier, AS IF HE COULD HAVE, there's lots of angst because of that, also mentions about suicide, is all a misunderstanding, also there's mention about Lloyd / f!OC, that was because the aphrodisiac, the estate thinks Lloyd is a slut, they still love him, Top Javier Asrahan, Bottom Javier Asrahan, Top Kim Suho | Lloyd Frontera, Bottom Kim Suho | Lloyd Frontera, They're vers, I'm not sorry, also they're BI too, Lloyd falls first, Javier falls HARDER, Shy Javier Asrahan, like REALLY SHY he can't even say PIPI REAL NAME WITHOUT BLUSHING, mentions of rape, mentions of suicide, miscommunication, self hate, it turns out well in the end, use of substances, innappropiate use of substances
Through the influence of Aphrodite
one.-
Lust is fueled by its desire to fulfill
. . .
âIs extremely effectiveââ Lady Signy kept explaining. âIs said that just rubbing a pinch of powder on the skin is enough to cause a night of lustful fevers and delusions. That so much dust has fallen on Lord LloydââÂ
Ah, that didn't sound good at all...
âWhatââÂ
âIt could be extremely dangerous! Andâ Sir Asrahan!âÂ
âJavierâ Javier?!âÂ
âNo! Don't touch him!âÂ
Lloyd turned to see Javier, also covered in pink dust, holding his head with one hand, his face blushing in a very interesting shade of pink that clashed against the blues of his clothes.Â
. . .
âI will tell the Count, master Lloyd, do not worry. Is there something you need?â she asked with worry in her voice.Â
Was it? Something he needed from her?Â
... There could be, yes.Â
Miss Emily was around Javier's age, right? She was old enough to get married... And it was a shame she wasn't already, with those nice hips of hers, and the generous breasts that she hid behind her uniform...Â
âMaster Lloyd?âÂ
âI could need something...â he breathed, his hand on the doorknob already.
âPlease tell me. I will help you in any way I can.âÂ
â... Would you?âÂ
âOf course, young master.âÂ
She could help him, then, by getting naked and lying on his bed, obediently, while he licked her down open... Lloyd took a sharp breath, feeling his body burning painfully.Â
It hurt already.Â
It would be better to get over with it already; Miss Emily said that she would do anything. And he was sure that her folds were going to taste just wonderful once he got her wet with need... Oh, he wanted to bury his head in her breasts and lick and suck on them until they fed him with milk, once had her full and pregnant, leaking his seed under her skirt every dayâÂ
âEmily! Get away from there, now!âÂ
. . .
His hand went down his own body and started rubbing his dick, still trapped under his clothes, before he could stop himself. And his mind went along with the initial thought, imagining Javier on bed, shirtless, his pants barely open and jerking off...Â
Lloyd cursed under his breath and turned in bed, opening his own pants in a hurry.Â
If he were there, with Javier, he would stop him from using his own hand and help him instead. He would use his mouth, then, and suck him off until had him cumming in his throat, on his face, and ride him for a second round.
What if Javier wanted him to fuck him first? He would take his time, preparing him thoughtfully, using his mouth, his tongue on top of his fingers...
âFuck...â he cursed, swearing at himself for not having anything to be used as lube to finger his ass.Â
He had to ask for oil, next time.Â
. . .

Coping with life (and by life I mean the am*rican g*vernment) by making an MCU oc just like I used to do ten years ago. Anyway uhh this is Signy, Heimdalâs nonbinary child who grew up with Thor and Loki. Similar to how their dad can see everyone in the Nine Realms, they can see everyone whoâs dead within the Nine Realms. They can also use shadow work to communicate with the dead but it takes a lot of their magic and wears them out. Thor has a lot of respect for them and they had a situationship with Loki but Iâm still debating on if it would turn into anything romantic or not. Anyway uhhh hope you like them
*runs away into the void*

ALSO TELL ME ABOUT LAMP PLEASE
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!! HI HOLLIE HI ROSE
lamp isnât technically an oc I was just thinking Damn⌠wouldnt it be funny if a jester had a mask and it glowed when it was popped and it was like a fucked up desk lamp⌠and then things Happened in my brain.
Lamp is roughly 26 years old and will probably reach the age of 45, contrary to normal jester lifetimes (up to 150). this is definitely because of the mask latched onto its right eyesocket, slowly devouring it!
It has not ever met Indigo or Monsoon, and itâs sort of debatable whether or not it exists in the same universe.
Together, the jester and mask create a gestalt :] (in simpler meanings. think of the relationship parasitic fungi have with ants, minus the immediate death of the host!)
The jester half of the relationship is mostly conscious and deeply murderous. The mask half is significantly more docile in behaviors, relating to a regular maskedâs habitual stalking and whatnot. Itâs not exactly used to possessing a body thatâs not explicitly human shaped, so thereâs been some complications.
As time progresses, Lamp (as a singular entity) will decay as any usual host will. At one point, the jester half will be subsumed by the mask and entirely absorbed and overtaken.
The reason thereâs a mask latched onto its skull is because some random employee majorly panicked and threw a comedy mask at it, which actually helped them escape.
Lamp is constantly bleeding. Normally, a jester doesnât explicitly bleed; itâs just a mushy mass of preserved flesh thatâs nowhere near as fragile as it seems. Because of the maskâs slow consumption and the depth that the maskâs roots have dug into as well as its small amount of experience regarding non-humanoid hosts, Lamp is basically dealing with over a dozen open wounds at all times! Existing is agonizing!
Since the jester wasnât fully possessed during the first initial attempt, the mask is only able to influence its behaviors and subtly direct it to do other things. For example, if lamp were to chase down a crew mate and the mask didnât want said crew mate to die yet, it would be able to slow its movements and redirect it briefly in order to give that individual a little more time. Itâs not able to stop Lamp from killing them, however.
Lamp does not need to eat. Itâs actually unable to because of the maskâs roots. Itâs⌠not a pretty sight, inside of the box. Itâs really not.
Collectively they combined create âlampâ. Otherwise, theyâre both just regular individuals of both species.
Lamp cannot wind very quickly, and the song is very broken up. Leave it to a mask to mangle all of the careful things going on in the box (the jester is very pissed about this but cannot do anything about it)
The jester is effectively blind. The mask is not. The jester has an amazing sense of hearing and senses vibrations very well. Combined, youâve got every crewâs worst nightmareâif Lamp can actually wind itself. It takes longer than two minutes, that I can assure you.
There was one single occasion when Lamp fell down a flight of stairs. It was embarrassing, because there was another masked at the bottom. Lamp mauled it out of embarrassment and generally murderous instinct. (The mask itself was not happy about this.)
The relationship it has with other Masked is very very complicated. Over time, as the jester half is consumed, affectionate interactions come easier. Currently, about two months into being stuck together, Lamp has a greater tendency to avoid masked or otherwise murder them. The instinct to grab them and shake like a rabid dog is so prevalent that the Mask cannot even begin to attempt to suppress it.
It Can vomit blood as a regular masked would. Itâs kind of like a firehose, though. Like, yknow how a pressure washer can remove flesh from bone? Short range with a very long ârechargeâ. Mainly because thereâs not as much blood in its body as youâd expect.
They are two individual beings shoved into one body, one of which is significantly âfainterâ than the other. There has been more than one occasion where the jester half has attempted to claw the mask off with its singular hand. It has not worked.
Yes, the blood boils. Itâs steadily eroding Lampâs âskullâ away, and eating through the box. The skull will eventually have enough grooves and wedges that it just falls apart. The box will experience this as well.
Itâs not outright hate; the jester dislikes the mask as one would dislike a spider trapped in their closet. Annoying. Not really bothered by death, just sort of begrudgingly wandering around with it. It doesnât have the real capability to remove it nor does it retain enough of itself to hate it.
i barely think about lamp im ngl ⌠I made all of this up on the spot thankyou 2 for askign..

đď¸ for whoever you feel like this morning!
Send me a âđ+an OCâ and I will talk about that OC! It can be a headcanon, a fun fact, a small paragraph of backstory- anything!Alternatively, send in just a âđâ and I will talk about any one of my OCs at random!

Going with Hjalmar on this one!
Hjalmar's a bit of a savant when it comes to cooking, taught to him by his mother Signy throughout his childhood and perfected as he got older. He's made quite a number of delicious meals ranging from soups, roasts, grilled and barbecued meats, and has quite the talent when it comes to baking dessert goods (the latter being one of two ways he copes with stress).
This talent has sort of made him the unofficial chef for Dragon's Watch, with Mar going out of his way to make sure his fellow guild mates are well fed before rushing off to protect Tyria (while also trying to keep Liana from eating things that shouldn't be consumed). He's also made a point to learn about all the numerous cuisines throughout their travels, making sure to find time when possible to learn from some of the chefs he encounters.
Hjalmar loves cooking almost as much as he loves adventuring, and had even considered trying his hand at a cafe or restaurant of his own in Lion's Arch whenever he decides he has had enough exploration. Recent events, however, have him reconsidering this idea, especially when his relationship with Yao becomes serious to the point he's even considered moving to Cantha.

May ask 2, 6, and 12 from the fanfic asks, please?
2. What fanfic do you wish you got more response on?
The Horizon Line. I love Horizon, I think it's one of the best things I've written, but (by my standards) it's not very popular and didn't get a lot of response. I do know why -- it's a prequel in an established AU, it does something completely different than the other story in the series, it focuses on different characters, it's set during an awkward period in the canon; there's too much Loki for Cap or Widow fans and too much Cap and Widow for Loki fans. But it still makes me sad, and it has made me really hesitate on going back to the Yonderverse.
6. Have you written any fanfictions featuring OCs? If so, elaborate!
Yeah, most of them. Marvel's actually an outlier for me because I write very few OCs here, though Home has a bunch -- all the matryoshki but Lorraine and Dottie (who is showing up in 10), Kim Pantcheff and Hana Korematsu from the SSR cryptanalysts; technically the members of the Winter Guard are comics canon characters but that's just me tacking on canon names to OCs. Horizon's got a handful of Asgardian OCs -- Ullr, Forseti, Rota, Signy -- and of course the various Widows and Hulk-Widows are OCs.
Back in Star Wars, Backbone has some very major OC characters -- Alecto, Doriah, and the rest of the extended Syndulla clan being the main culprits, along with every other Twi'lek other than Cham and Hera. (Backbone was written before SW introduced Hera's mother in canon.) Roberto Beneke, Hera's ISB handler, is an OC; the bulk of the Inquisitors are OCs. (Backbone was also written before SW introduced the numbering system for the Inquisition.) Gambit also has a number of OCs, mostly in the Naboo military.
Back in Narnia the bulk of my characters were OCs. Writing in Marvel and Star Wars, there are a lot of background canon characters, both from the mainline canon (films, TV) and from comics and EU, and very often I can just pull someone from there. I only use OCs if there's no way around it. The trick, of course, is to write them without making them seem like OCs and like I am pulling them out of an obscure piece of canon. I've gotten a lot of comments in my day from people saying that they don't usually read fic that features OCs in main roles, so I am cautious about using them heavily; Backbone's a major outlier. (And back in the day I did not think that Star Wars would ever give Hera's mother a canon name.)
12. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Except on very rare occasions (usually for clarification), I only respond to direct questions in comments and even then I only do it about half the time.
About fifteen years ago, back in the LJ days, I lost my temper at someone who'd left a comment mixing my fic up with someone else's, and after that I instituted a strict 24-hour cooling off period between posting and replying to comments. Eventually, that changed to a week, and then to only replying to the comments on the last chapter just before the new chapter was going to be posted. I stuck to that for a really long time, I don't remember when exactly that changed, but I think it had to do with when I started getting a lot of hate on Gambit -- I don't respond to negative comments, period, but I felt weird about replying to every comment on a chapter but the negative ones, so often I wouldn't reply to any comments on that chapter. I used to also reply to comments on the first couple chapters of a story, and then just peter off answering comments on the rest of it -- I think I did this for Morning -- but it eventually has just turned into not responding to comments at all. I also don't like answering comments because (1) it messes up the comment numbers on a story and I'd rather that be an accurate reflection of how many comments people other than me have left and (2) I do reread my comments and I don't like rereading my own responses, since they tend to be variations on "thanks for reading, I'm glad you're enjoying the story!" If you want to come talk to me about my fic, do it off AO3; I'm happy to talk about it on Tumblr or Twitter, in person if you know me IRL, but I don't want to do it in my AO3 comment section.
I do respond to non-AO3 comments, i.e. if I'm posting concept writing on Tumblr, I'll respond to those comments. But I don't get that many of them.
