Every peice in chess was carefully considered before inclusion. The pawns are there cause you need a bunch of little guys. The bishop is there to market to the religious demographic. Horsie is there cause people like horsies. And the rook? That's sex appeal baby

TDA FANCASTS / FACECLAIMS (repost)

I’ve decided to add to the noise with my own content because at this point I’ve seen Froy Gutierrez and Timothee Chalamet fancast for just about every single male TSC character and I think we all deserve some variety. This will probably be followed up with posts for the other series in the near future. I’ve tried my hardest to find people as close as possible to my headcanons, but I feel like 95% of Cassie Jeans art still does the best job at representing what I picture these characters to look like in my head. Feel free to agree or disagree and let me know what your fav faceclaims are 🤗

Emma Carstairs - Bridget Satterlee (it’s not perfect and personally I still imagine Emma with sharper features, but at least she’s got the brown eyes and Emma vibes)

Julian Blackthorn - Darwin Gray (again pretty much the best I could find, idk why Jules and Emma are so hard to get right)

Cristina Rosales - Natalia Castellar Calvani

Mark Blackthorn - (Young) Gerhard Freidl (look I even added the golden eye😌, he’s def one of my faves with the soft and ethereal vibe he’s got going on)

Ty Blackthorn - (Young) Asa Butterfield (Ty was so damn hard to find, and he def wouldn’t work for grown up Ty in my opinion)

Livvy Blackthorn - (Young) Amalia Zadro (she’s literally so perfect I can’t)

Kit Herondale - Griffin Mark (sorry for the picture quality, he’s a tiktoker and I couldn’t find anything better, but LORD does he look like young Kit)

Dru Blackthorn - (Young!) India Eisley

Tavvy Blackthorn - Random kid I found here

Arthur Blackthorn - Jude Law (just picture him with glasses chilling in an a dusty attic)

Diana Wrayburn - Lehlogonolo Machaba (she’s a South African trans model, I know this is literally just fancasts but I thought it would be nice for proper representation anyways, plus she’s giving off the biggest Diana vibes)

Kieran Kingson - I’m so sorry I can’t find the original image source 😭

Gwyn ap Nudd - Ed Skrein

Annabel Blackthorn - Esme Creed-Miles

Diego Rocío Rosales - Jorge Antonio Guerrero (he def looks too old but otherwise fits well enough)

Jaime Rocío Rosales - Jacobo Cuesta

Manuel Villalobos - Zak Henri

Zara Dearborn - Iris Law (yes the eye colour is off but look at her she’s got just the right energy)

The Unseelie King - Rogier Bosschaart

Prince Adaon - Davidson Obennebo

Divya Joshi - (Young) Shriya Saran

Rayan Madabuchi - Ronald Epps

Anush Joshi - (Young) Jeenu Mahadevan

Ash Morgenstern - (Young) Lucky Blue Smith

Lady Nene - Pauline Darley

Horace Dearborn - Woody Harrelson

If you’re wondering where Malcom, Helen and co. are: they’ll be in extra posts with all the characters who are kind of all over the place. As for Johnny Rook, I just didn’t have the patience anymore…

Bonus gifs: Cristina looking pretty + laughing about something Emma said off camera while they’re being girlies together having a photoshoot

Dragon Age Universe [Protagonists]

This post will be a detailed introduction to my Hero of Ferelden, Champion of Kirkwall, and Inquisitor within the universe of Dragon Age - However, the last one that will be added shall be my "Rook," based on Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

[Details could be subject to change once more information is released on background]

Name: Ceren Azra Tabris

Nickname/Alias: Ceri (A nickname that Leliana suggested, used later on to conceal her true identity in order to travel) / "Mia dea," which translate to "my goddess" - only Zevran calls her this

Zodiac Sign: Pisces Sun | Libra Moon | Scorpio Rising

Pronouns: She/Her

Lineage: Elven (Born and raised in Denerim - Ferelden) / (Becomes the Arlessa of Amaranthine during DA: Awakening)

Class: Rogue - Archer

Tattoos/Scars: Callused hands from using a bow and scarring on her back after having been captured and held in the prison cells of Fort Drakon. Later on, the scar tissue is covered with the emblem of the Grey Wardens' tattooed onto her back.

Notable appearance details: A faint scar along her left cheekbone after an arrow grazed her face during the skirmish from the Landsmeet.

Extra: Ceren's father, Cyrion, was born and raised in Ferelden while her mother was born in Rivain. She is supposed to be half-Fereldan/half-Rivaini - however, based on real life, she would be half-Welsh/half-Turkish.

During the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition - Trespasser, Ceren and Zevran give birth to their only child - a daughter, named Aylin Eda Arainai. Aylin is seven years old by the time Dragon Age: The Veilguard takes place.

Name: Lysandra Brynhildr Hawke

Nickname/Alias: Lys (all of her friends use this nickname halfway through Act 1), Lysa (Only Carver and Bethany called her by this nickname - Carver more frequently after Act 1), and Mitt hjärta (Fenris uses this after she teaches him some of her mother tongue - translates to "my heart")

Lineage: Human (Born and raised in Ferelden - Becomes a noblewoman in the Free Marches / Maternal side was formerly nobility)

Notable appearance details: A noticeable beauty mark on her right temple, along the edge of her eyebrow. Not as noticeable, but also has fainter ones on her collarbone and left breast.

Extra: Lysandra and her mother, Leandra, were the only ones with bright, crimson hair - Bethany and Carver inherited their darker hair tone from their father, Malcolm Hawke.

Shortly before the events of Trespasser, Lysandra and Fenris welcome their only child to the world and they name their son Frey Sindri Hawke. Frey will be nine years old by the time Dragon Age: The Veilguard takes place.

Class: Mage - Arcane Warrior (otherwise known as a Knight-Enchanter)

Romance: Cullen Rutherford

Closest Friends: Dorian Pavus, Varric Tethras, and Cole.

Tattoos/Scars (Notable Appearance Details): Vallaslin on her face for the markings of Mythal; a soft shade of green, which is her favorite color on her freckled cheeks. After the amputation of her arm, where she once could control the tears in the veil, there is noticeable scar tissue around the stump before she has a prosthetic.

Extra: She is on the spectrum for autism, albeit high-functioning, and she is aware of what can be a trigger for her and cause her to shut-down. Most of her inner circle quickly realizes what can set her off and calm her, but they keep it low-key so enemies of the Inquisition don't use it against her.

A year after the defeat of Corypheus, Juniper and Cullen welcome their first child - a daughter named Amaryllis Calla Rutherford, who is two years old by the time of DA: Trespasser. Their second child, another daughter, is born a year after and she is named Alyssa Jasmine Rutherford. [During the events of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Amaryllis is nine years old while Alyssa is six years old.

Faction: Shadow Dragons

Class: Mage - Evoker (Specialization with elemental magic)

FINE. Do…42. 😤

content warnings: non-explicit sexual content, bdsm

In Cytolia, a visitor arriving at dusk can dance until dawn, enjoy a late breakfast that morning, and then dance through the night again. Gwyn comes to the city for a soak in its revelry from time to time, although it serves a dual purpose. It’s been a good practice to have some new, wonderful thing to show to the Queen of White. Setsulin knows how to drink, and how to dance, and how to fuck, and Gwyn has found it beneficial to his position as Rook to bring her to the best places to find any combination of the three. So he makes himself known in the red districts, and sweet-talks his way in and out of local bedchambers, keeping his lips on the pulse of the city’s favorite delights.

It’s so decadent, he almost needs to fast between visits. He needs his real work, his dour husband, who treats such pleasures as almost medicinal (except between them--Gwyn knows when Dreigas has his hands around his throat, it isn’t because he’s scheduled himself an orgasm). Today, he’s found himself a beautiful little brothel where a guest can eat their dinner off the gently breathing backs of beautiful people, and drink from the hollows of their throats. He’s been entertained with dancing, and a bath, and spent a little while as furniture, himself. He goes home for awhile with one of the local nobility, who kissed his skin after every morsel they ate. It’s pleasant, to be so pliable, to be so pampered. He lets his new friend tie him up and suspend him from the ceiling of their lavish home, and just hanging there is a delight that takes him outside of himself. The Cytolian noble reads him poetry, and makes him cum so hard his eyes well up, and when they’re finished playing, they lie together and drink wine, and gossip about the places they’ve visited, and where they must go next if they want to taste some truly divine carnal delicacies. And then, when Gwyn has had his fill of use, and being used, he returns to the capital with a few new knots with which to fasten his husband to the bedpost, and another amusement to share with the Queen, the next time she craves a diversion from the daily hassle of her station.

GWYNYTH "GWYN" LAIDIR. 26 years, human, lords of fortune.

born somewhere in the kingdom of rivain, there has been no place gwyn ever truly called home, except the tent, tavern or ship she shared with her family. home was where her heart lay, and usually this meant with some old ruin or dungeon. the spirit of an explorer was deeply intertwined in her blood and bones. no treasure, no relict, no artifact was capable of elude the clever wit, swifty fingers and charm of gwyn . . . perhaps that had been the reason varric tethras had searched for her help to find the dreadwolf. (totally unrelated that rook mentioned that this would be the oldest "artifact" she'd ever find. the joke was welcomed with awkward silence).

A Typical Blackthorn Family Reunion: A Summary

Some Probably New Clave Member: “Consul, we’ve caught some really strange Shadowhunter's doing something incredibly illegal.”

Alec: “Then they’ll face justice accordingly. Who are the offenders?”

Some Probably New Clave Member: “Six Blackthorns, a Carstairs, a Herondale - or possibly a Rook it was a bit confusing - a Wrayburn, a Penhallow, and three Rosales’; although they claim they’re all ‘honorary Blackthorns’? Also, we didn’t arrest them cause they’re not Shadowhunter’s, but these three Fae guys are here too, and yelling about ‘injustice’?”

Alec: “...I mean, you’ve heard of the Blackthorn family’s motto about laws, right? Who’re we to mess with their traditions?”

Some Probably New Clave Member: “But half of them aren’t even Blackthorns-”

Alec: “They’re honorary ones; weren’t you listening?”

Mark and Helen are sibling goals part two

So this is the second part of the colab I gave been working on with the lovely @readwriteswim. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it.

Once emotions and life had settled after the events that had occurred in Idris, Mark and Helen had found themselves having a rather interesting conversation along with Aline, Kieran and Cristina. Helen had walked into her brother’s room to ask him a question only to find him making out with both Kieran and Cristina. Needless to say Helen had wanted answers and Mark was reluctant to provide, so he had turned the conversation round and got both Helen and Aline to discuss their engagement and wedding. When they had been separated they had been Girlfriends, and during his time with the Hunt, He had learned of his sister’s up-coming wedding. That for Mark wasn’t nearly enough information and thankfully it was a topic Helen and Aline were more than happy to discuss, in great detail.

Mark had started to feel confident, convinced he had gotten away with explaining why it appeared that he was simultaneously dating two people at once. But this was his sister Helen, who would never let him get away with not providing information. “So Mark” she said, once she and Aline had said everything they had wanted to. “What’s the deal with the three of you?” she asked and the reaction was simply brilliant. Cristina linked her fingers with Marks and having given him a small supportive smile, she lightly rested her head on his shoulder. Kieran on the other had seemed determined to distract Mark as much as possible. He’d positioned himself so he was holding Mark’s spare hand, and was running his other hand through Mark’s hair. Every time Mark attempted to speak, we would lean in, kissing Mark’s knuckles, neck, and cheek: anywhere he would reach. If Mark wasn’t flustered before, he certainly was now with his two loves beside him being very close and his sister asking questions of his relationship.

After a pause in which Mark tried to compose himself, (which was very difficult given his current situation) he found himself going “it’s complicated” which made Helen smile. “I can see that brother dear” Helen said and Mark blushed like a tomato. “Kieran and I met in the hunt. He looked after me, and it’s safe to say he saved my life” Mark started, which only made Kieran kiss him more, making Mark gasp slightly. “Cristina on the other hand” Mark continued but realised that Kieran and Cristina had gotten him so flustered he was past the point of have a sensible conversation, so he mumbled something about asking somebody else. Helen rolled her eyes and left, but made the point to ask Aline to stay and update her on her brother, a job Aline was more than happy to agree to.

***

Helen walked off to the kitchen at the same time as Gwyn and Diana. Gwyn just looked slightly awkward, whereas Diana took the entire situation I her stride. “Oh Helen, this is Gwyn, my boyfriend” she said simply and continued getting food out. Helen suddenly had an idea. Sitting down she asked “Gwyn do you know anything about Mark and his relationships?” causing Gwyn to shrug slightly before going “why yes. As it happens, I do know a little bit.” Helen sat forward, leaning her chin on her hands before raising an eyebrow. Gwyn found himself sitting down, and allowing himself getting questioned by Helen about Mark. Realising that they were going to be a while, Diana sighed before going “ok I’ll give you some time...” and shuffled off.

“So what do you want to know?” Gwyn asked Helen and Helen struggled to contain her excitement. She found herself blurting out “tell me everything” which made Gwyn laugh. Having gathered her thoughts, she tried again with “how did they meet exactly?” Gwyn made a move to answer when Helen put her hand up to pause him, only for her to grab a notepad and pen. Once she was ready to take notes, she allowed him to start talking. “Mark was the first to join the hunt. The courts wanted him. I knew because of his Nephilim blood he would not be treated with kindness, but I could provide him with some protection, so I took him into the Wild Hunt” Gwyn began.

Helen found herself with a slight lump in her throat. The prejudiced faced by both Mark and herself because of their mixed blood was always a sensitive topic for her. “Then Kieran joined. His Father, the Unseelie King owed a dept, and because Kieran was well liked within the Court, the King felt threatened by him so he decided that it would be Kieran who would pay the dept. Both as outcasts within the Hunt, both Mark and Kieran found themselves drawn to each other” Gwyn added, making Helen smile. Knowing Mark hadn’t been alone gave her comfort. But what Gwyn said next made her very happy indeed.

“They became friends and would always look out for each other. Mark had been beaten by some of the other hunters, and every time he did, Kieran would be there to clean and bandage his wounds. Kieran became highly protective of Mark and ensured what little of his privileges he had from being a Prince extended to Mark, meaning they spent a lot of time together. A lot of alone time together. It was incredibly obvious that they had fallen in love with each other, well, incredibly obvious to everyone except Mark and Kieran. We would purposely go to revels with the intention of leaving them alone together and hoping that it would be enough for them to declare their love for each other. We made bets on when they would finally get together. There were times I wanted to just scream “by the gods kiss you idiots” and I’m not sure how I didn’t to be honest” Gwyn told Helen, and when he paused for breath Helen found herself grinning.

“How did you know when they were finally together?” Helen blurted out, and Gwyn found himself smiling at the memory. “I had been at a revel with the rest of the Hunt. As normal, Kieran and Mark had not attended. The following morning, I summoned my Riders to the Hunt. Mark and Kieran arrived together, hair ruffled and their hands holding each other’s. The glances alone were enough to convince us all that they were not only in love but in a relationship” Gwyn explained and smiled at the memory. Helen just beamed. The Hunt had never sounded a pleasant experience so knowing that her brother had not only had a friend but a lover gave her comfort.

“So how did Cristina get involved into this relationship?” Helen then asked. Gwyn smiled then before going “I should warn you that where I was able to witness Mark and Kieran getting together, I learnt about what happened with Cristina through the boys telling me. They were quite eager to give me the updates, Kieran in particular” Gwyn said which warmed Helen’s heart intently. “So what did they tell you?” Helen asked. “When Mark returned to the Institute, Cristina was a great help to him. She’d not known him before so she had nothing to compare him to. She’d also studied faeries and these two things combined meant she was able to help Mark in a way the others were not” Gwyn began. It hurt Helen to be reminded of her families painful reunion with their brother, but it gave her comfort to know someone had been there to help them.

Gwyn continued to talk with “During those first few days Mark became quite fond of Cristina, but respected her when she initially turned him down. She believed Mark only wanted a physical relationship, and she wanted one that was based on love. Kieran found out, became jealous and to say that jealousy did not end well would be an understatement”. He did not want to pain Helen with what exactly had happened as a result of Kieran’s initial jealousy. If the Blackthorns wanted her to know the choice would be there’s to make. Helen frowned then. The Kieran she had left with Mark and Cristina certainly wasn’t jealous with Cristina, but rather quite in love with her. “So what happened? He certainly doesn’t seem to feel that way now” Helen said, and Gwyn nodded in agreement.

“He got to know her. The more he got to know her, the more he fell in love with her. I would get Kieran regularly coming to talk to me about his ‘princess of roses’ as he affectionately called her. He would constantly be saying how he thought she was beautiful. Originally he would say how he liked her as she made Mark happy, but then he would say how she made him happy too” and Helen just beamed at that. She continued asking Gwyn her questions, both of them blissfully unaware of what was happening in the other room.

Shortly after Helen had left, Mark and Cristina had found themselves in a corner, with Cristina sitting on Mark’s lap intently making out with him, leaving Kieran and Aline sitting along together. Kieran simply watched his two loves, and found himself asking “why are the Blackthorn’s so beautiful?” which made Aline smile. “I wish I knew. Helen has these gorgeous dimples when she smiles and I’m like ‘how did I get lucky enough to get to this woman?’ you know?” and Kieran nodded. “Mark might as well have come from the heavens as an angel, because that’s the only explanation I can think of to explain his beauty” he added, just as Cristina finished her kissing session with Mark, going “Mark is definitely the most beautiful of all the Blackthorns” which made Kieran pull her onto his lap, promptly giving his agreements.

Aline shook her head “No I have to disagree” she said, just as Emma walked passed. “What is it you disagree with Aline?” she asked, wanting to know what was going on. “We were discussing who the most beautiful Blackthorn was. Kieran and Cristina say Mark. I disagree. Have you all seen my wife?” she asked. Emma sympathetically patted Aline on the arm before going “I have Aline, but I have also seen Jules and that man is the definition of beauty and goodness” she said solemnly, which only caused more arguments. It was then Kit has walked in to find out what all the noise was about and on establishing the cause of the argument went “Why is this even an argument? You’ve met Ty, who has own level of being the best Blackthorn”. The great Blackthorn debate continued until Tavvy walked into the middle of the room and went “you’re all wrong. Dru is the superior Blackthorn. She’s the only one who plays with me” and promptly went over to hug his sister. Not a single person argued with the youngest of the Blackthorn siblings.

It seemed that once Helen had started asking questions, she couldn’t stop herself, totally unaware of how much time had passed. It wasn’t until Diana returned to the kitchen asking for her boyfriend back did she realise just how much time she had been there. Walking back to her brother and wife, she found that they had been joined by the rest of the Blackthorn’s and their partners. Slipping onto Aline’s lap, she gave a soft kiss on the temple as Aline held her closer. “Did you get the answers you wanted?” Aline asked and Helen found herself smiling. “I did, plus so much more. I’ll update you later. Did you like hanging out with Kieran and Cristina?” she replied, making Aline give her a protective squeeze. “We had quite an interesting debate” Aline said, before giving Helen a kiss on the lips. “I don’t care what a faerie prince says you’re still the most beautiful Blackthorn” she said before kissing her again.
