i want to do a follow up to your heart's a foreign house where dorian and solas keep fucking and keep not telling rowan they're into him, and it just gets like... fucking absurd. they're both like "we're doing this because we're, uh, just using each other or whatever, we can't talk to the inquisitor because Reasons".

they clearly like each other. it's obviously A Thing. rowan definitely think they're together-together and keeps cornering them into sharing a tent because he thinks he's doing them a favor. rowan is poly and aro so it doesn't even occur to him to see a contradiction in them flirting with him and being involved with each other and is like, they're in a honeymoon phase, let them branch out if they want to.

they think they're being so secretive and then dorian or solas FINALLY are like "inquisitor he means nothing to me it was about you all along, i'll end it, i swear" and rowan is just like...

why? i'm not asking you to stop seeing each other.

and then there's a threeway and nobody is really sure how they tripped and fell into that but questioning it seems too complicated so they just... don't.

[lethalhoopla]

imagine you're getting a rare research-and-liquor-based sleepover with your bestie after you've had to split ways across the continent to further bear the responsibility of entire nations/peoples when your other best friend and the love of his life/literal Champion of a city-state bust in and inform you that yet another Big Bad is in fact Bad At Staying Fucking Dead

or, I finally came up with an excuse to riff on this post:

[babayagaii]

Hero | Champion | Herald

+ the suit of swords

[bogunicorn]

I was going to put this in tags but I realized it would be more of a pain in the ass to read lol.

Thayet Trevelyan's is Princess. Cullen actually calls her that; they trained together as teenagers in Ferelden, and he used to call her "princess" as an affectionately sarcastic nickname (as in, you're noble and I'm not, I don't know shit about titles, you might as well be a princess), and she always shot back by calling him "farmboy". When they got into their 20s and eventually came to blows, Cullen started using it as an insult, basically calling her a spoiled, selfish snob. As their relationship repaired during Inquisition, it shifted back into being affectionate -- and then Varric picked up on it, because Varric thinks it's funny to watch Thayet roll her eyes and explain she's actually untitled and has been for years and then say something irritating like "you're a princess to us, Inquisitor".

Because it feels relevant, Varric and Thayet have a good relationship. Not exceptionally close, but positive overall.

Eala Lavellan's is Trouble. She's small, quiet, and as far as the Inquisition knows, quite passive when it comes to things she doesn't understand (like, for example, most of human politics and cultural norms). Most of the trouble she kicks up is people making their own fuss. The irony, of course, is that Eala actually is a whole heap of trouble... because she's an agent of Fen'Harel.

Eala and Varric have a great relationship. He was one of the first companions (after Solas, who knew her pre-Haven) to take the time to get to know her and speak to her like a person instead of an oddity or religious figure. He's good at picking up on it when she tells a joke and thinks she's hilarious, and is also one of the first people to notice when she's agitated or overstimulated.

Rowan Lavellan's is Sawbones. In most continuities, he's a Dalish mage "NPC" who takes up residence in the infirmary and the garden and is known to have a particular talent with potions and surgery. Mostly because he's doing stealth blood magic on people but it's fine. You kept your leg, right? See it's fine.

Varric likes Rowan as much as anyone else. When he's Inquisitor, they work well enough together, but there's not a ton of personal affection; when he isn't, they're important enough to interact with some regularity, they're just not friends, you know?

Ramsay Marison (Trevelyan)'s is Buck, because he tried calling him Ram when they first met and Ramsay's walls weren't down yet, so he got a little snippy about it. Varric picked another large, dangerous animal to name him after, and by the time Varric did have proper nickname privileges, the new one had stuck.

Ram and Varric's relationship starts out kind of rocky, because "smarmy bureaucrat who won't put on an entire shirt in winter" is not something that appeals to Ramsay and he was snapping at pretty much everything in the beginning. Ramsay is also a fan of Varric's books, so some of that was probably just a little bit of "never meet your heroes". They warm up, especially once Ramsay figures out that Varric's smart is actually just homesickness with its tits out, and by the end of Inquisition they get along famously.

Locke Trevelyan's is Lucky. It's a gentle play on his name, but Locke is also a rogue who shoots, gambles, and drinks with the Chargers. The irony in it (like all Varric's nicknames) is that Locke is the Inquisitor, and so by default everything around him is going to try to kill him at some point.

Locke and Varric are besties. They get on like a house on fire.

Eva Trevelyan's is Dandelion, because she's pretty but (in the beginning) delicate and easy to scatter. But that goes the other way, too, of course; dandelions are weeds, and scattering them just spreads their influence and makes them harder to get rid of.

Eva and Varric are friendly with each other. They're not emotionally close, but they work well together and have great mutual respect.

Alexandre Trevelyan's is Charming, because Alexandre is a spoiled, self-centered douchebag in the beginning that Varric did not like.

The nickname is pure, bitter sarcasm, because Varric fucking hated him until Alexandre started getting his shit together after Haven was attacked. Eventually, they do end up as actual friends, and the nickname becomes more sincere. Alex grows into it.

alright let's do another question post

what nicknames does varric give your ocs?

you know, bc not everyone's gonna be a waffles/chuckles/killer. or, what nicknames do other characters (isabela loves nicknames too!) give your ocs?

[the-rogue-mockingjay]

i was gonna do something productive, but then i thought about my alts/OCs in lvl100 outfits and. well!

in order from left to right: Asha Alaqa Sagahl, Aurélien de Sofinoy, Eden Lavellan, Emrys of the Darkened Steel, Félicienne Greystone, Lina Svanasch, Marielle de Dzemael, Mariko Iteya, Merethe de Sofinoy, Myreena, Rian Ashbrooke, Ysera Rowan, Valentin Breliseur, Zelala Zela

[thesummerstorms]

No game engine is gonna reflect the weird complexity of my imagined world state though.

Evanna Evandre Trevelyan, my gentle, overly cautious but angry pro-mage scholar of an Inquistor is the third of four children born to a man who's had five wives and loved none of them.

She has complicated political ties Antiva and Orlais through her step-mothers, Ansburg through her maternal family, and Antiva again through a paternal cousin.

Her living stepmothers are generally sympathetic. The youngest is terrified and hoping Evandre will hide her younger half-brother. Her father, however, despises her. So does her older sister. Her oldest brother is weak and doesn't care about Evandre one way or the other.

She was raised in the Ostwick Circle, then sent away to Markham when her presence in Ostwick became a barrier for her half-sister Catareen's Templar training. She preferred Markham, given its link to a major university, but was sent back just before the mage rebellion broke out. Markham is where, through the University, she became part of the Mages' Collective.

Niamh Amell, Warden Commander of Fereldan, and her husband, Zevran Aranai, showed up to take command of the Orlesian wardens, enabling Alistair to be left in the fade and Hawke to escape.

(Alistair's choice to stay is actually the final moment of his and Niamh's reconciliation, post dark ritual.)

Anora Mac Tir is Queen of Fereldan, with two daughters by Fergus Cousland, who she has an affectionate political marriage with. One of them is secretly a mage.

Cecily Cousland survived Arle Howe, badly injured and disfigured, and has become Anora's unofficial liason with the Wardens due to her under-the-table marriage to Nathaniel Howe. Their marriage purposefully childless, with the idea that Amaranthine will pass back to the younger of Cecily's nieces, and thereby the crown, after both their deaths.

Nathaniel Howe is in charge of the keep in Amaranthine because politics, but Therasenn Mahariel is Niamh's true second, and the one running things for most of Amell's wardens. Nathaniel's oversees the day to day, but listens to her orders.

Therasenn's remained single/considers herself a widow since Tamlen's death. If she had been in the fade, she would've insisted on taking Alistair's place as she sees herself as stuck in a holding pattern. It sets off some bad mental health moments that don't pass until Hawke connects her with Merrill.

Cattilara Tabris is put forward by Amell as the genuine liaison from the Wardens to the Inquisiton and is eventually in charge of overseeing a Blackwall who is sentenced to join the Wardens properly. She's dating Herah "Echo" Adaar. She oversees the Orlesian wardens in the day to day, whereas Therasenn has command of the Fereldan ones, and Amell outranks them both.

Herah "Echo" Adaar is literally just a merc who signed up with the inquisition to make things stop exploding and gradually gets promoted to help integrate the Inquisiton's other "non-standard" fighting forces and keep the Chantry-esque folks noses out of it.

Mahvirehn Lavellan was sent as a spy by his keeper and is now the Inquisition's formal liaison with the Dalish, a role which puts a target on his back from the beginning, especially as he's also a Keeper in training. That's fine though, because Dorian will absolutely explode anyone who tries to kill his boyfriend, and doesn't mind using the "big bad scary Tevinter mage" rep to keep it from getting there.

Rowan Hawke escaped Kirkwall, showed up in the Inquisition, and might possibly be dating the Inquisitor, Evandre Trevelyan. (If so, Varric is thrilled! But I haven't decided.)

Carver Hawke did not, in fact, go to Weishaupt. He's actually the one who finally managed to make contact with his cousin, Niamh Amell, and he's present at the battle for the Keep.

Later, he gets put in charge, and is pissed at Therasenn for making it about his name rather than his abilities and for forfeiting the role despite her experience levels. She mantains that she needs more flexibility than the role would entail. Appealing to Niamh makes it worse, not better.

Therasenn and Merril get an off screen reunion and cry about it because they both miss home. Merrill doesn't become an Inquisition agent, but Therasenn forwards bits of her letters as war table operations sometimes.

Rowan Hawke might go back to help throw Sebastian Vael out of Kirkwall, idk. But she's largely decided against living there. (Unless she romances Evandre, in which case Varric offering Evandre a title and estate in Kirkwall becomes a lot more of a calculated gesture lol.)

a bit of a hc for timelines with dead Connor | non-human Inquisitor

... the name is Rowan Guerrin. If you would have any information - any, I would be most grateful. May the Maker watch over you.

Not an arl but a desperate father,

Eamon Guerrin

There where not as much children, as they feared there would be, but still more than it wouldn't be hard to look at. The youngest must be not more then 7-years-old, quiet, clinging to the robes of the elder ones. 14-years-olds, with shy colored sparkles in their palms, shielding with their tiny bodies their friends, brothers, sisters. 19-years-olds, hot-headed, meeting Inquisition banners with ice and flame. Mages that were left after Venatori recruiting had to be scraped off the borders of Orlais and Ferelden, pulled out of cesspits, rescued from rocks and pitchforks, taken from simpathetic parties.

***

Not this time.

Thought circling in mind, blocking every other. Not this time, dammit. The child will live, or there's gonna be a very personal conversation about the soul of the girl with this Maker of theirs. She looks no older then 10. Curly hair with a slight ginger tint to them. Tired brown gaze. Children aren't suppose to have such a look to the eye. Children should observe the world with curiosity, naivity and silly joy. Not as they've seen the worst the world can offer.

She is calm for now, peaceful even. The healer must have put her under some spell. She blinks slowly, long lashes tremble like candle light catching a slight breeze. Little chest rises infrequently, barely noticable. Pale lips part ever so slightly to take a small gasp. Empty gaze rarelly follows some object just to loose interest in a blink.

She saved them. She saved them all by the mere desire to reach out to the light.

When the Inquisition found them, the little ones were dying from hunger and exhaustion, but were surprisingly calm and warmed. It's really hard to detect the magic aura at such a young age but nontheless all the kids gathered around the girl as if she were their little saving bonfire. And she was in a way, as though returning their trust by warming and nourishing. Little one managed to perform one of the advanced healing spells barely having mastered the magic alphabet.

Bull lays a hand on Inquisitor's shoulder. No flinch: too concerned to care that he sneaked up like that.

- With children it's always the hardest.

Be ready for anything, boss.

But the only thought that cicles the mind, blocking every other one.

- We will see.

Not this time.

14 and 33!

For the Wholesome OC Ask Meme! I've decided you're getting all 3 bc I feel like it (and I like the colors question).

14. Quickly, let them give us some life advice!

Thayet: Don't save many things for "a rainy day". Enjoy things when you have them, tell people you care for them, spend your clout and favors freely when the chance comes to do something good with them. When you wait too long to do the thing you always wanted to do, you'll miss the window.

Eala: Prioritize yourself and your own well-being. You have to put on the mask before you can help someone else secure theirs, so to speak. You are allowed to take care of yourself, and you're not obligated to make yourself smaller so someone else can feel big.

Rowan: Don't just be yanking arrows and bullets and stuff out of your entrance wounds, that's how you get infections and bleed out. (Also follow your own convictions and seek the life that makes you most content.)

33. What is their favourite color? And which colors do they like to wear the most?

Thayet

Red, gold, black, and sometimes with earthy brown or warm purple. Thayet wears a lot of dark red and brown or black day to day, and trends toward black, gold, and red for formalwear. Her favorite color is probably red, given how often she wears it. Lots of royalty-adjacent colors here.

This dress that Yennefer wears in The Witcher is just, like, a Peak Thayet Look for me. (Anya Chalotra is also her faceclaim - she's a little young but I think wen she's in her 30s she'll be perfect. Ironically, OG Thayet had purple eyes and a much more purple-heavy color scheme, and I changed it before Witcher was announced. Really played myself with that one.)

Eala

Eala's color scheme is primarily white and pastel pink or blue. I see her as having a very faded/washed out quality to her with the occasional bright red accent. I think her favorite color is actually pink; wolves can only see yellow, blue, and shades of white/gray/black, and I think the novelty of pink makes her want to wear it as much as possible now that she can see it again.

It felt weird not having a picture to represent Eala but I can't think of anything off the top of my head, so here's a screenshot of sim!Eala hanging out with sim!Thayet (who's in red, look at that, so perfect).

Rowan

He's an edgy little shit, his favorite color is black. His color scheme is black, green, brown, and red. Like a rowan tree.
