#rook talon

[drpcreates]

I have a lot going on this week so I wanted to share an OC sketchbook dump. However, I spent way too long on this because I forgot the best way to get my regular ole sketches into a digital platform. I want to do this in the more in the future so I'll work on the technique so it looks better next time. I even threw in a few characters from some of my old high school stories.

[nightingaletrash]

Viago and Teia: *forever maintaining the balance of will-they-won't-they, always keeping the other Houses guessing if they're actually a united front or if it's all an alliance of convenience, meant to disrupt the confidence of their rivals and ensure their own strength* Lucanis and Rook: *declaring their undying love for each other within five feet of Morrigan, who has already proven to be a horrible gossip*

[thyredwarden]

Rook: My bosses hate me. My coworkers are ashamed of me. (They're all assassins.) You can imagine the kind of stress I'm under.

later

Teia: oh good you're back :) vi missed you.

Jacobus: you're the best crow ever.

Viago: did you finish your contract? which is, you know, killing a god. don't die btw.

[mesherew]

if you think she won't be a constant nuisance to viago you're very wrong

[thorinoakenbutt]

Do you think a Crow!Rook is going to meet Lucanis and be like 🧍🏻‍♂️ weren't you supposed to be dead lol

[sky--phantom]

Crows are apparently wine snobs

Viago is a big wine snob and Rook knows exactly which wines he'd buy

Viago seems to want Rook to be "cultured" and has probably taught Rook about wine, to varying success

Which lineage/background Rook is having the worst time after the ritual?

⬇️ poll under the cut (Game Informer spoilers) ⬇️

Every time Rook fucks up, Viago makes them pet sit Emil.

finished veilguard. i enjoyed it but it was also real bad. the highs were really high the lows extremely low. the only people they really made this game for was solavellans and it should've stayed as an ao3 fic

[oh-what-the-heck-its-xanthar]

So the dragon age devs have said that the faction you choose in da4 determines your last name. Which just makes me SO curious as to what the Antivan Crow last name will be. Like which house a crow rook would be a part of. I'm dying to know!!!

[mohntilyet]

speaking of veilguard kind of going nowhere. i am so mad over there being no in depth epilogue. at least tell me what happens to the factions that are being led/guided by people rook influenced !!!!!! all these companions have obvious obligations outside of the veilguard, and they're all dedicated to the lives they lived before they joined this team, so of course they would go back. what effect did bellara deciding to keep the archive have on the elves? neve decides to protect dock town by any means necessary, so what does that mean for a blighted minrathous? everything to do with harding and the titans ????!!!! and solas just accepts being trapped because he's been 'outplayed' DO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH!!!! somebody has got to tell me what happens after the world gets 'saved' because the south in chaos, minrathous almost destroyed and the last of the elven gods being dead is like. crazy. and the companions just commenting things i already know is really not cutting it for me

This week I'm bringing some of my younger OCs, Hepsiba, Parivash, and Rook dressed as Red Riding Hood, Catra, and a newsboy respectively. Hepsiba is enhancing her costume with a little illusion.

Fifth Talon Mage

"Lιttᥣᥱ Croᥕ"

My main Rook going forward for all future writing that I do. I love this woman, id kill for her. Mouth of a sailor and will burn you. Cant wait to show you more of her as time goes on, and the story starts to unfold! Lucanis isnt ready for her

[robynator]

hey so do viago and teia need a third. asking for a friend of course

[silverhalla]

I think it would be rly sick if you went to go build a crow rook and the surname was Arainai

like…. just another little compradi trying to bring glory back to your house - rinnala and taliesin are dead by the house’s hand, zevran failed and deserted, guili murdered in the night, all semblance of power lost once again. the house is trying to claw its way back up, futile as it seems. that’s the way of house arainai, isn’t it? talon to knife to talon to knife to nothing, same as it’s been since the house first lost power in the early dragon age. but you, bright-eyed little crow, you’ll break the cycle, won’t you? for the family?

after all, caterina’s prized heir is right there - the demon of vyrantium, the infamous mage killer, sleeping just down the hall. you can be quiet, can’t you? all those means at your disposal, and all the opportunities you could want. you could find a way in under that armor, get to something soft and bruisable and make it bleed. he’s far from home, isn’t he? without a friend? confidantes are few and far between - even a demon must get lonely.

maybe he’d even trust you. you’re a clever little bird, right? you can find something to exploit. after all, what does a would-be talon do except claw, except maim? what else would you be good for? there is no gentleness to crows - you are here to deliver a message: run, little demon, quick as you like.

house arainai will make carrion of you yet.

Part 2 of the "Feathers" Series

Summary:

The party had been going on for a good few hours, house dellamorte had a lot to celebrate, Lucanis had become the new 1st Talon and every house was there. The crows knew how to throw a party and even Altara who would normally prefer the quiet was mingling with the guests and enjoying the expensive wine, you could count on Catarina to have excellent taste in wine, though that could be said for most crows.

my take on Lucanis's comment that he had other plans for the evening when he asks to slip away from the party after being made 1st Talon coz that line had so many delicious possibilities
