Well shit. Despite not doing the Orzammar quest line before in DAO, I have the good luck to always pick the right tunnel to go in. Guess I'll make it cannon that Brosca has extremely good stone sense

What’s this? Tis a Cosplay Announcement!

Finally! Another con is upon us! As far as my typical year’s schedule of conventions go, I’m so excited for the one coming up so soon:

RIT’s Tora-Con 2019!

As those familiar with my blog will know, I’m a massive fan of Dragon Age, and I’m excited to announce that I’ve got a full Dragon Age lineup for the weekend! I’ve decided to post my lineup here instead of just rambling and posting progress updates to my IG stories on daughter.of.war, and in the hopes that someone on Tumblr’ll see that a DA fan is going to Toracon, because, so far, I haven’t seen any DA cosplays being posted about on IG or Toracon’s app... 

(God bless @tora-con for this adorable and very useful template!)

On Saturday, I’m going to be cosplaying as Warden Brosca, my tiny, adorable, dual-wielding dwarf commoner! This’ll be her first convention debut, and I’m super excited! I’m working my ass off to get her finished before the con, and all I have left to do is cover the fabric in furniture vinyl bronto leather and wait for my second latex LARP dagger to come in the mail! Since I’m planning on staying until around 11 at night (which I can more easily do now that I’m finally 18, thank god), I’m excited to be wearing a cosplay I can move easily in! 

As for Sunday, I’m breaking out my lovely Warden Tabris again! I’ve worn her to smaller cons, and I’m so eager to finally get to show her off at Toracon! Having worn her before, and having actually won a small cosplay contest at RIT’s Spookfest last October, I’m feeling super confident and excited! Thankfully, Sunday’s a shorter day, meaning I won’t be spending too long in a too-small wedding dress and a waist-trainer! 

Anyway, don’t be shy about messaging me! If you’re a follower of mine on this blog or @a-gay-bloodmage or going to the con as a DA fan, I’d love to meet you! Both Brosca and Tabris are very friendly Wardens! ^^

Not Alistair giving Brosca the Rose during the Circle Tower quest line 😭

I've only been playing this playthrough for two days. We just killed a bunch of abominations, Leliana is seething with jealousy (while being a tank in only her chantry robes, and Wynn is trapped behind a door due to a bug.
