#rook headcanons

[foreverlilmeowmeow]

So I finally got the conversation with Lucanis and Emmerich about Lucanis trying to Gift someone a knife (spoiler it's Viago) and what I find so funny about this conversation is that in my own head cannon that I've created is that my crow!Rook is the younger sibling of Viago and that she knew about this little flirt back then. What she wasn't expecting, though (years later), that she would end up being with Lucanis instead. Does Lucanis still have feelings for Vi? More than likely not, but at least he'll still be apart of the de Riva family after all, and instead of being with Vi he ended up with my Rook.

[wanderingjedi77]

Not my Rook having no idea how to handle herself at court and everyone pitching in ideas that get increasingly more ridiculous with every turn. "You should steal the divines hat." Not my Rook hugging Lucanis first thing in the morning as he makes breakfast, or giving her companions a kiss on the cheek as she passes them. Not my Rook falling asleep at her work desk and Neve waking her up with a gentle caress and a hot cup of tea. Not my Rook teaching manfred to play fetch with Assan or Bellara leaving trinkets for Rook that have protection spells on them because no one wants to see their Rook hurt.

[opulentshits]

What's in Rook's inventory?

Our possessions tell a story of who we are and what we value. Here are some items Lenore keeps in her bag while travelling across Thedas! (inspired by citadrells on X)

A Mourn Watcher's grave gold: Kept in a purple satin pouch. A reminder of one's roots. I'd like to think spirits can also sense the presence of grave gold even if they are not worn, allowing Lenore to continue to perform her duties as a Mourn Watcher outside of Nevarra.

A scalpel and some bandages: A Mourn Watcher can never be too prepared! Even though Lenore is a Reaper, all Mourn Watchers undergo field medical training.

A bag of random knick knacks from a charming skeleton: It contains a piece of string, some (very dry) almonds, a griffon feather, leaves (also dry), rocks and exactly, three marbles. The bag was sewn by Manfred. He seems to have picked up the love language of gift giving from his father, not that Lenore is complaining.

Incense sticks from Nevarra: These ones in particular smell like patchouli and amber moss. Lenore brought these with her when she left the Necropolis. Emmrich acquired some for himself and started using them in his laboratory.

A white marble rook chess piece: A gift from Varric for a job well done. A piece to remember Varric and his lessons by. Lenore likes to hold on to it while she thinks. The coolness of the smooth stone keeps her grounded.

A bound journal: Used to document Lenore's adventures and current events. Occasionally, you will find sketches of a particular dapper necromancer. The pages themselves have a slight floral fragrance from the pressed flowers. Some pages are stained by the flowers. Lenore likes to think it adds personality to the journal.

Elfroot potions: Handy for a quick fix! Emmrich makes sure that Lenore is always stocked with potions.

A bit of kohl, dusty red eyeshadow and perfume oil that smells like Vanilla, Vetiver and Cardamom: Warrior or not, Lenore likes to look good. A little bit of make up and perfume goes a long way.

Bag of Money: Lenore started saving up quite a bit ever since she started her adventures with Varric. Ever the gentleman, Emmrich does not let her use her money as he insists on paying for everything whenever they are out together.

A healing salve: Made by Emmrich. A simple mixture of camphor, mint, cajuput, clove and a bit of elfroot extract in shea butter. Handy for that stiff left wrist, or any bruises. Seeing the jar always makes Lenore smile.

A small box of chocolates from an Antivan confectionery: Courtesy of Lucanis when Lenore requested for chocolates on the shopping list. It comes in a bedazzled tin. The chocolates are rationed to Lenore slowly so she doesn't eat them all in one sitting. Lenore is partial to gianduja and strawberry cream filled bonbons.

Pspspsp could I request self-aware Kaeya and Rook (separately) finding out it's the players birthday?

(I think my type in men is a peacock, but a sneaky one)

. . . . . . . ╰──╮HAPPY BIRTHDAY╭──╯ . . . . . . .

ROOK AND KAEYA FINDING OUT ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY - SAGAU

Rook x Reader Kaeya x Reader

A/n: I also love myself a cute pot haircut guy ♡ I didn't know if you wanted the player in the game or not, but I put our MC in the game :) I can do it out of the game too no biggie just ask ♡

ROOK - Let the hunt begin

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Rook Hunt is the kinda person who knows everything, he's a hunter after all. He watches his prey and that is currently you

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ nothing goes by him without him noticing. So, when he found out that today is your birthday, he was more than thrilled

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ he's so ready to give you the best presents of them all. Not even Vil could compare with the designer skin care set. Rook had a watchful eye all year over you and memorized everything you enjoy and take a liking too

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ you will, no, you must notice him now. He isn't hiding, heis on full display for the day, ready to sweep you off your feet and have the attention of the MC on him for the day. Only on him, he is begging for it with what he does.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Rook made so sure you will notice he ADORES you more than anyone else. Because the truth is, nobody adores you more than him. You are the MC, the player and the main character of the story, if you ask him to warship you, he will. Without any questions he would kneel in front of you and warship you the rest of his days, because you are true beauty and perfection.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ and your birthday is giving him the best opportunity for this. You're thirsty? Have this water. Hungry? Take his lunch. Your legs are tired even while sitting down? Use him as a foot rest

KAEYA - Life's greatest illusions are the ones we believe in ourselves

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ oh~? So it's your birthday huh? What a pleasant surprise!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ he does care a lot about you, but at the same time showing it makes it difficult. Just letting anyone near him is difficult. He loves you, adores you, is obsessed with you. And he for sure is smooth about them feelings for ya.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ he refuses to let you play with his feelings for much longer. How dare you milk him dry with that smile of yours, your kind words and generous actions towards him that he just wants to return especially on your birthday, ugh f you.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ those negative feelings are long gone because of you. He is still this closed off Worshipper of you, but accepted the feelings he has for his creator.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ and since it's your birthday he will have an opportunity to ket those feelings slip out without being to weird about them. Yes, all the others are also giving you the best absolut presents but somehow his felt special to you

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ there was a thought behind the present, something you truly needed, not wanted, but needed. You can tell he spend his sweet time and money getting that and although for others it might not be special, it truly is. No diamond ring or ancient parfume could ever compare to what he gave you

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ he literally said, "Fuck ya'll, I'm their fav now" cause yes, he is. Oh btw, he just found out on your birthday, that it's your birthday---

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ because you never told anyone really so everything was kinda chaotic and people were going crazy over the fact. So did Kaeya-he usually always keeps his cool but you make him lose his shit

[preciouslittlewatcher]

SO I hc that my rook Kione (mourn watch rook) is also an artist. So she and Emmrich will take walks in nature while he points out his favourite flowers and she draws them in her sketchbook for him to turn into diagrams later.

[therookandthecrow]

My Rook, while he played the field by flirting with every single one of his companions, he wants an exclusive relationship (Although in Lucanis' case, he doesn't mind sharing him with Spite. Being a Mourn Watch, he is very comfortable with and familiar with spirits.). Another thing is, he is aware of how Lucanis got attached to Spite, and he'd never hold it against him.

That said, after some specific mid/late-game scenes and banter he is going to make it very clear to Davrin that Lucanis is off-limits to him, and to not even make a move towards his man. At the point where he's done flirting with anyone but Lucanis, I can see something like this happening. (It's under the cut, for those who are interested in how my Rook's mind works.)

There is much unhinged Rookery, because my Rook is actually quite so. He's an Aries Sun with a Scorpio Moon, and a Venus Opposite Pluto, both in fixed signs. He was born to be possessive. Example below of how this manifests in Aries Sun, Scorpio Moon; especially because he lets his insecurities about how his previous relationships turned out make him possessive about Lucanis.

He'll be like, "Davrin, while I am pleased that you buried the hatchet with Lucanis, don't make a move on him unless you are interested in fulfilling 'In Death Sacrifice', because I can point you in the direction of Elgar'nan's Archdemon. I'm making it crystal clear, that I, for all intents and purposes, am not one to mince my words. I will be glad for you to help fulfill the final part of your Warden's oath if you so much as try anything with him. No more flirting, no more anything like that. You are one of my best friends in this entire world, and I'd hate to lose you so soon, Davrin."

To follow in the theme of my Rook being possessively unhinged beneath his calm facade, I can see his mind going "Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!" while he's calmly telling one of his best friends to not engage in any suggestive banter with his intended love-interest, with or without any not-so-subtle nudges that he's not messing around with the mention of the final part of a Warden's Oath. It's even harder for him to say that because Davrin is one of his best friends, but he's claimed Lucanis, as I had said in my previous post about this subject.

The flirtatious dialogue with Neve and Lucanis had already come and gone by that point, although to me, it didn't come off as overtly flirty as the dialogue between Davrin and Lucanis. A lot of that happened before my Rook caught serious feelings for Lucanis and developed something more akin to an obsession than a mere crush, although he didn't know that he was already a goner the first moment he met Lucanis in the Ossuary. His Lucanis fixation didn't start overnight, to say the least. It grew on him over time.

Davrin is like, "Okay boss." in his normally cool manner, and he tells Rook that he's not interested in messing with his love-life, and that he doesn't have to worry about this. Of course, my Rook is going through a loop of paranoia and obsessive jealousy, so he goes back to what Davrin told him about there being 'nothing between him and Lucanis.' in the way that he's convinced himself there is, because he (Rook) is so used to people either leaving him or rejecting him. He's conflicted, because he doesn't want to lose his best-friend, but he wants Lucanis for himself.

The worst part of this is that he's been the prophet of his own pain by thinking the worst of people and expecting either betrayal, infidelity or abandonment and the proverbial 'other shoe to drop' because he's never had a truly satisfying romantic relationship, and the closest one he had to the depths of what he finds with Lucanis that he got before was one that ended up a mess. I want him, I want Lucanis. He has made his own mind into a prison of sorts, not dissimilar to how Lucanis has done the same with his.

“I like to Write”

| Repost: 02.18.23 | 1.1 K | Rated PG |

Malleus D., Rook H., Idia S., Azul A. X GN!Writer!Reader

| Characters18+ | Headcannons | Super Sweet | Suggestive w/ Idia | Fluff | Platonic/Romantic Relationships | Proceed with Caution, Beloved. |

T.Manor.Requests: For the Lovely @sidra-29 Thank you for the request!!

I was WAITING FOR THIS-

Ahem… Can I request Malleus, Rook, Idia and Azul with a Gn!Reader who writes stuff. Like books and all on the internet and sometimes they even write some special things for our boys

Take your time and stay healthy dear !

♡ Malleus Draconia ♡

Malleus Draconia is a lot of things, and one of them is being super supportive.

♡♡ Whether you’re his partner or simply his friend, he is guaranteed to be your biggest fan. Even if all you write is dribbles or short little things, nonetheless he’s reading. If you write fanfic, he will take it very seriously and be highly entertained by it. If it makes you happy, it makes him happier. If you want tips or constructive criticism, he’ll give it. If you just want his genuine reaction, he’ll do that as well.

♡♡ He keeps all of your work. Even if you hate it, he keeps it and stores it away, so that later you’ll see your progress, he’s super encouraging and won’t ever call your work badly, but he might allude to something not being your best piece, but he doesn’t fault for it. Anything your write for him, he wont stop talking about it. Like will casually bring it up, and if you dont write something for anyone else, he is so smug.

♡♡ He also likes to stand over you when you write. Sometimes he’s doing his own thing while you type. But when you write with pen and paper, he likes to stand over you. Silently watching your hand move back and forth. He likes your handwriting and likes seeing how you write. How your ‘a’s curl and how you dot your ‘i’s. For some odd reason, he enjoys it, and no matter how messy it is, he can read it well. [100% guarantee Lilia’s handwriting half the time is horrendous and unreadable.]

“Whatever you write, it is an absolute pleasure for me to read. Always.”

══════ ♡ ══════

♡ Rook Hunt ♡

Rook is somewhat of a writer himself, though he only sticks to poetry. Though finds beauty in longer length stories.

♡♡ If you write, he’s considering this a time for you and him to get snacks and read each other’s pieces. Aloud or silently, though over time, it changes into Rook wanting to act out scenes with you. Scenes with the slightest hint of romance. Whether you’re romantic or platonic, he’s going to want to act out scenes. He does love a good tragedy. But Rook is also super supportive and loves sharing your story ideas. If your write fanfic, Rook likes it too. A little too much to the point he’s subconsciously shipping people. He finds it so much fun, he won’t play matchmaker, but he loves watching it unfold naturally.

♡♡ Just like Malleus, he’s keeping all your writings. Each and every single one, half of which you aren’t sure how he found or got, but he has them. Heavily protected. But let you write him something specifically for him. He’s reading it every day, before bed, when he wakes up. He won’t tell anyone about it, but Vil knows, cause he accidentally mentioned it.

♡♡ Rook, also like Malleus, likes your handwriting. But oddly enough, has it memorized and if he wanted to, he could easily replicate it. Wouldn’t, but if he wanted to impersonate you, he could. Casually mentions it all the time. If you have a blog or any socials, he’s always in your comments sections acting up. Writing full poems and paragraphs.

“Oh ! Ça doit être la meilleure histoire écrite à ce jour~ Je dois en lire plus !”

══════ ♡ ══════

♡ Idia Shroud ♡

You and Him fanfic when?

♡♡ He’d never ask. He would rather let his HP drop to zero and face the final boss with low-grade weapons. In fact, Idia would never talk about you writing, and would simply leave you be. Not out of not caring but more out of fear that if he tries to talk about it, he’ll seem like some normie who knows not a damn thing.

♡♡ Idia had read fanfiction, that’s it. Has tabs saved, so if you do “official writing”, he’s going to be unsure of what to do. If you write fanfic though and post online, he’s sending in anonymous requests, anonymous commissions of his favorite characters. If you write for a fandom he doesn’t know, he’ll binge it.

♡♡ If you write anything for him, he’s done for. K.Oed. Zero Health, and he lost all his EXP. He’s at the beginner level and has to mass farm everything back before he can even read it. He’ll thank you, but won’t touch it for days before he forces himself too while screeching. If it’s cute and sweet, he’s a mess, snot bubbles and tears. If it is remotely sexual—well—he might need a new copy. Though unlike the first two, he doesn’t really care for you handwriting, it’s yours, but he likes to see you type, especially if you type hella fast.

“—YOU WHAT—I mean… Thank you for the… For the… Mm—Thank you for the story….”

══════ ♡ ══════

♡ Azul Ashengrotto ♡

*Cue him thinking of ways to make money with your writing*

♡♡ He views it as an admirable talent. Azul only writes essays, reports, documents. And a lot of contracts, so idle writing really isn’t his thing. He’s tried, but most of it comes out messy, so he sticks to reading. So if you write, he’s requesting something to pass the time. He also enjoys it when someone, especially your friends, asks what he’s reading. He will brag and be like “[Name]’s work. Oh, you haven’t read any.. Well then…” He’s an instigator.

♡♡ He will definitely mention your writing to his mother, especially if it was a gift from you for him about him. He’s rambling to his mom about how talented you are. He refuses to tell the twins about it, but they undeniably know and tease him about it. Any chance they get, they’ll use it as ammunition. But it won’t be just Azul, but you, too. I mean, you wrote it for their dormleader. You must love him~

♡♡ Other than that, Azul won’t interfere. If you want to share and write in his presence, you can. If you want to tell him your ideas and plans, hell gladly listen. Hell gives critics on overused ideas, views him as your personal editor. He will host events in the Mostro Longue for you, to give you more exposure. [A third of the event was the twins giving out threats if they didn’t support you.]

“I mean, you are, uh, dear to me. So your success is mine of course I would and will provide all I can.”

[karter-xoxoxoxox333]

TWST CHARACTERS REACTING TO LIGMA JOKES!!

POMEFIORE

CW: French, light cursing, pencil as w3apon 😨😨

Epel:

Epel had finally escaped Vil and came to ramshackle for freedom. Knowing in the state it was in currently, Vil would most likely steer clear of entering. He sat with you on the crusty and oddly crunchy ramshackle couch, finally free from the “torture” that was etiquette lessons.

“No no prefect you don’t get it . Do you know how hard it is to be all prim and proper in pomefiore??” He groaned,” all the ‘elbows off the table Epel’ and ‘Epel that’s not the salad fork that’s the fish fork’ What even is a fish fork??? Why do you need more than one fork one fork works just fine!!”

…

..

…

You looked at epel with the most dead serious expression you could muster ,

“Do you know how hard it is to live with ligma Epel? You don’t understand MY pain. So stop complaining 🤧🤧”

“…What’s ligma..?”

You couldn’t break character now, you were too far in..

“Ligma balls”

…

…..

…

As Epel’s expression melted from confusion to disgust to you couldn’t help but start giggling.

“Prefect. what the fuxk”

ROOK:

Today sucked. Legitimately. So you lie your head down, prepared to fall into a lovely sleep. And suddenly you feel a pair of eyes on you.

That’s not cool.

But out of fear you decide not to move, then you hear quiet footsteps coming from behind you.

You have a pencil in hand , and your grip on it tightens.

They get closer and closer and you can almost hear their heartbeat they’re so close. Then you strike..?

Someone grabbed the pencil out of your hand before you could get a good stab in.

“Ah Trickster…tu as blessé mes sentiments!! How could you ever intend to wound a poor hunter such as me?”

You sigh as loud as possible, just to really rub in your annoyance. “Rook you scared the shit out of me. I can’t stand guys with ligma.”

Rook stares at you for a few seconds, and you can’t really tell what he’s thinking until he says,” What might ligma be?”

“Ligma balls”

You , burst out in giggles. Rook however, only lightly chuckles.

“My trickster your humor is as melodic as the sweet singing of a bird,” he pulls out a creepily perfect rose from out of thin air,” Would you care to join me in seeing the film Bofa?”

“Bofa?? What???”

“Both of these nuts in your mouth.”

Your face only expresses pure shock.

He takes a picture.

VIL:

(Odd choice.)

Vil told you to come over so he could do your makeup for some publicity event NRC was doing . So obviously you showed up because let’s be real , you didn’t have a choice.

“Thank you for being punctual prefect.”

“Yeah yeah.. So what do you need me to do?”

He stares at you for a second like you asked the dumbest question he’s ever heard. “I need you to sit.”

You walk over to the vanity seat and sit down (it’s very comfy 😼😼) ,” Dang dang I’m sorry I’m sorry I had too much up dog this morning for breakfast.”

“Potato. Don’t consider me so stupid as to fall for your silly ploys.”

Then he starts doing your makeup, “Vil do you know why I need to go to this event in the first place?? It feels kind of ligma to me.” You ask.

“Potato, the headmaster invited you. So you must go,” he pulls your hair out of your face a bit rougher than needed,”- now quit asking questions and be still you’ll crease the foundation.”

…..

When he finishes you look like you eat 3 healthy meals and day and have your life together, like the embodiment of perfection ,” Thanks vil !! I look so pretty-“ you lift your hand up to touch your face.

..

He smacks it away. “Yes yes I know. Now if you had used the skincare I gave you, you wouldn’t need makeup to look as stunning as you do now.” He grabs for a hair curler.

You never got to make your joke.

[thesummerstorms]

I think Arsinoë got like, the bare minimum crash course on the "seduction" side of the whole Crow thing. Not charming a mark in general, but specifically the "seduction" side.

The official reasons were always that

a) She had too many visible/notable scars from her time as an Apostate and in the Circle (?). A few could have been played off as part of a "dashing rogue" persona. But especially as a woman, the scars on her face and neck of all places stood out too much for any of the normal ingénue  or even fem fatale roles.

b) House de Riva was notoriously short on mages due to a legacy of choices made by the current Talon and her predecessors which is why Arsinoë was purchased to begin with. While mages could do the whole seduction bit, resources were short enough that it would be a waste to cross-train their most promising mage Fledgling into roles others could fill.

Beneath those official roles though... Arsinoë was terrible at it. She's somewhere along the aro/ace spectrum, and even if she didn't know that as a teenager, knowing the mechanics of sex and romance did not make her understand it well enough to understand how it would relate to herself in those contexts.

Having Viago de Riva, the extremely buttoned up, socially awkward, hyper-paranoid poisoner, as her mentor did not help in that regard at all.

It could very easily have been held as a mark against her, but she could wear other kinds of roles well enough to get by and again, House de Riva didn't need another silver-tongued charmer. They needed a Mage. And even if Arsinoë didn't let herself show a propensity for spirit healing, her magic was still strong in other capacities.

Ultimately the then Talon, Esma de Riva, just made a disgusted noise and told the relevant trainers that punishing and cutting away at a hammer for its refusal to be a knife would only ruin both weapons.

Arsinoë's training was adjusted accordingly, which was something of a relief to both her and Viago, though the latter would never admit it.

(When he finally made his coup, he did make a point of taking one or two of the more...overzealous teachers down with Esma, even though their loyalty might have been bought.)

[liliths-missing-pen]

Epel and Rook With A S/o That Is Usually Quiet and Calm Become Unhinged

Idk what’s happened to me, I’m becoming a simp for literally every first year- What’s next, I GO CRAZY FOR ACE??? 😰

Characters: Epel, Rook x Reader

Warnings? None.

Masterlist

Epel Felmier

Epel is overjoyed, be needs someone else to be as unhinged as he can be sometimes. He loves you being calm and let’s be real you’re the reason why Vil hasn’t totally lost at times, being able to calm him down and what not.

He does feel bad sometimes though knowing he’s the reason most of the time for you getting in trouble. So it was nice when you went unhinged since you two were having your chaotic moment together and Epel didn’t feel like you were babysitting him.

The sound of your laugher makes Epel smiles more… God, you have an enchanting laugh right?

The back and forth playful banter? That’s what he loves.

Don’t get him wrong he loves you just as much when you’re more calm and taking care of everyone, making sure no one gets into too much trouble. It’s refreshing to him though when he sees you enjoying truely enjoying yourself and actively being cheeky and mischievous with him. It might have something to do with you to planning your prank on Vil whilst you were on your high

Epel feels like that night will be the night he treasures for so many moons. One of his favourites that’s for sure. He won’t ever forgot this day, and… He might’ve fallen in love with you all over again.

Rook Hunt

I’m not even gonna lie he probably at least had a slight clue about this unhinged side of you (In my own opinion though I feel like almost everyone has a little chaotic side to them) Rook isn’t the type to be easily surprised.

He’s happy to see yourself happy, as well showing more of your authentic self. It warms him to know that you trust him enough to show it to him.

Rook may know a lot about you but when people are relaxed, and chaotic doing what they want to do without judgement it makes people show sides of them that some might not even know about so he’s happy how he’s learning new things about you, even if some might think it’s boring he’s slowly put pieces together how your head works

He will admit that he never thought it would happen but still. The fact that you allowed him in and showed this side of yourself wanted his heart also piecing together your brain

[wanderingjedi77]

Not my Rook cuddling with the closest companion on hand because it reassures her. Not Taash helping Rook reach the highest shelves by walking around with Rook on one shoulder or Neve giving Rook forehead kisses when she makes her proud. Not Emmerich teaching Rook how to waltz in the library as he hums a tune or Lace leaving Rook fresh flowers in the morning because it makes her smile. Not Bellara and Rook doing their best not to laugh and failing as Assan knocks Davrin off his feet and having to hold onto each other to keep steady or Lucanis making up a cheese plate in the middle of the night and sharing with Rook as they talk about everything and nothing in the quiet of the evening

[usernamemybeloathed]

My personal Rook headcanon is that in the early days Vil had to give him many, many fashion pointers or he'd get carried away. His motto would be 'more is more', much to Vil’s sophisticated despair. Marie Kondo? Don't know her.

[momofantas]

cant stop thinking about taash and kione comparing scar stories (kione has a ton from street fights and paid brawls) but when kione mentions her eye (it's glass) that throws taash for a small loop bc they never even thought it was fake despite the major color difference bc so many of the lords have so many various injuries and aesthetic differences

[therookandthecrow]

I don't care about how contrived it is, but Lethanavir and Lucanis will end up with their own, biological children, even if it goes against what preexisting knowledge about the workings of the Fade and of magic in general exists. Their first one will obviously be highly unplanned, because my headcanon, also known as bending the lore to my will to get the result that I want, is a result of ancient elven magic activating in my Rook's blood (especially as a descendant of an Evanuris, Falon'din), having blood magic used upon him, being hit with Blight magic, and having extended time spent within the Fade where the commonly accepted rules of reality fly out the window into a respawn or a death loop depending on your luck.

Cue Caterina's existential dismay melded with happiness that her first great-grandchild was the result of magic weirdness and her grandson's elven crypt-baby lover, who spent more of his life around dead people than even the most seasoned Crow assassin. Not even more veteran Watchers are able to determine how this was able to happen, but Lethanavir is like, "This isn't even the weirdest thing to happen to me." and assures Lucanis that everything was going to be fine, and this is not after he'd gone through the crypt-baby to mafia-wife pipeline, a plot-twist he didn't anticipate the moment he decided to actually go outside and spend time with living people instead of dead people and incorporeal beings of the Fade.

[x-mentally-eel-x]

Twst Headcanon - Rook and Dogs

If Rook were to ever to get a dog at some point in time, he would probably most likely get a bloodhound.

I say a bloodhound in particular both as a homage to Walt Disney as he had more of a liking towards bloodhounds and used or referenced them often in his movies and characters, and to suit Rooks theme as a huntsman, being that bloodhounds are rebound for their hunting and tracking.

I also like to believe that Rook would also put in a lot of effort in taking care of his dog to look elegant and fashionable, even for a breed that is normally stereotyped as as wrinkly country dogs. He would give his dog daily baths and grooming, and is fed a specific diet, as well as put it in more fancy attire akin to the Pomefirore style, and is often trained like a show dog. Rook would take care of his dog as much as he takes care of himself, putting in a ton of emphasis on looking presentable while also being a good hunter, and giving it tons of love and affection.

(Its also definitely not bias by any means because I also have a bloodhound)
