Wip Wednesday
Thanks for tagging me @firefly-factory :)
Well so this is still sorta in the messy stage, but it's gonna be a no outline kinda drawing so it's good

SO Eira again :)
My concept of this:
1- I'm drawing Eira as a young girl in the Chantry. Mostly to develop the clothing the choir was given to wear at the time and whatnot, I wanted to give it a proper design but it might change again in the future
2- also I'm going to add that she's using magic as, of course, her race is very skilled in it and, ofc ofc, it'll mostly be ice magic used in combat
I'll be honest I'm REALLY not sure about the colours, I was gonna use red but someone's already done that and I don't want people thinking I'm copying them... but if I can't get this to turn out right then I might just have to. I wouldn't have thought the colour red would go well for characters that are associated with snow but maybe its the contrast that makes it so appealing
Also did you guys see the reblog of the last sketches I did? I gave her some friends and gave them names (or like ideas of what I could name them) I'd love feedback on that
#wip wednesday#oc: eira#snow elf#skyrim oc#sketch#skyrim#tesblr#art#my art#secret lore tag time:#she almost died once when she fell into the ice lake near the chantry#she could see something deep in the water#and the ice broke beneath her#she was saved by a certain knight ;)#i like to imagine#that despite their innate ability to withstand the harshest of winters#theyre still not completely immune to the effects of extremely frigid temperatures#but yeah her friends were super worried about her#but also EXTREMELY jealous of who saved her 😭#girls being girls and all <3

MiqoMarch Day 6 - Secret
The jealousy that began to bubble up, though likely pointless to hide from her of all people, Arsay desperately tried to keep a secret from her dear friend Krile.
#ffxiv#ffxiv gpose#arsay nun#dawntrail spoilers#endwalker spoilers#krile baldesion#miqomarch#miqomarch2025#PLEASE TRUST that Arsay was doing her fucking best to not make anything in the last zone about herself#(except maybe when she was geeking out over the south sea lore)#even though she was getting pelted with her own parental abandonment trauma at an ungodly rate#its insane how much arsay was shaking hands with all the main msq characters in this expansion.#the tldr here is Arsay sees her parents in the aitiascope but she couldn't face them at the time and felt like she had to turn away#and instead of reaching/calling out to her anyways they just left. i dont have the tag allowance to explain the nuance in this choice thoug#I have a big thing i'd like to pose that goes more in depth with how arsay feels about this moment thats post 7.1#but this is the first time she /really/ thinks about this moment again and proceeds to do what she does best#She's framed with a big ol mask behind her and that is symbolic thank you#also cant remember if arsays echo cancels out kriles but even if krile has vibe checked arsay in this moment shes not going to bring it up#mostly because Krile has literally no clue about Arsay's parents and the thing in the aitiascope#thats the other secret that's embedded in this situation tbh since really only Graha and Yshtola know about it#i feel bad ruining this nice moment in canon but arsay also doesnt need krile to thank her for welcoming her on an adventure#because arsays would have welcomed krile on an adventure regardless of combat abilities#and like they also went through eureka together of course she trusts krile with her life already

ive been thinking about the red string superstition recently and also sol bufo always and it makes me sick how uncannily caldwell tanner has made sol to perfectly target me personally
(+ cropped versions !)
#naddpod#ba2mia#ba2umia#solum bufo#swag daniels#calliope petrichor#calder kilde#alexandrite#posts by me dot com#okay..... SECRET TAGS RAMBLE!#so basically this superstition is like ... i think a chinese/buddhist/taoist superstition?#ive taken some creative liberties with it... but its mostly accurate to how its been told to me?#but of course theres lots of variations! some more abt bad luck; some say to tie it on the doorknob#etc etc ... lots a variations#i was also rlly interested in the .... weird illogic? of the thing?#like the red attracts and repels spirits at the same time#so thats something i was thinking about with too. red is assocuated with both swag and alexandrite. which to me was kinda reflecting like#i think what murph said . swags place in the wild is in a way. an extension of what he learned from the network#mothership s inextractivle from sol and swags lives. they will always be held doen by it. thats the spirit that will follow them forever#that they choose to hold on too! as much pain as it brought ... some of the experience was worth it#and anyway. theres somethingwrong w me that the minute someone brought up this superstition my brain went#'ohhh just like sol!' < needs to touch grass moment#but i CANT BELIEVE. CALDWELL DID THE RED STRING. AND ITS LITERALLY A MOURNING RITUAL#caldwell keeps accodentally makig that frog ASIAN. to MEEEE!!!!!!#but. anyway. idk. ive always hced sol kept the piece of yarn and it makes me kinda .... what if y let the malicious spirits follow you.#and haunt you. what if its the closest you can get to keeping the person still around#and sol and swag obviously have so much about homes .... so!#(ok. weve reached the pt where maybe nobodys reading? so confession is this is sort of a well. ive just been doodling this comic everyday#after a wake. and it was sort of inspired after realising i was even a bit sad about it maybe. so. idk its about sol but also?#i guess the projection doesnt end at him being asian. hehe. is what i mean. LOL. okay secret tags over . buried lore. dont look here folks)

something something 'your coworker keeps mentioning there arent enough onions so you offer to get some the next time youre in a city. he tells you to get good ones but you realize too late that you have no idea whats the difference between a good and a bad onion'
this was a lot funnier in my mind before i spent 3 days working on it ._.

(its been a longgg time since then but still. the bar is on the floor for)#(on the bright side his poison resistance is GREAT. be it food poisoning or actual poisons)#not very happy with this but hey! its done at least!#this is why im replaying veilguard; taking screenshots and stopping to draw silly things#another one that i probably wont do is when neve catches my rook reading on the couch. and he falls off of the couch in shock bc#he didnt hear her walk in!! the fuck!! what!!!#also hes very embarrassed about what hes reading. its SECRET. (she read a lot of it over his shoulder. and wont ever let him live it down)

ah, new life series, new influx of people using the hermitcraft tag in all their spoiler-containing posts for no reason.
they are separate series, y’all. if you aren’t actually referencing anything related to hermitcraft, there’s no reason to cross-tag. they have their own tags. try ‘secret life smp’ or ‘traffic smp’ or ‘life series smp.’ pretty please?
#hermitcraft#secret life smp#life series smp#traffic smp#i know they have a lot of members in common#and sometimes there’s connected lore#or ppl make comparisons#that’s fine- but if it’s solely abt the SL smp there’s no reason to cross-tag#trust me the life smp tags are big enough on their own now#no need to cross-tag for exposure ty#how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man??

THE FAIRY DALE POST

(Credit to @zennyzach / @perisprinkles for this certified banger)
Hi what’s up hello, decided to do this separately from the previous question so it would be easier for those who want to avoid it to do so dndbdhdhdjdjbh
to all the Dale fans out there, I’m sorry to admit that I am not among you- as much as I appriciate what an accurate depiction of an emotionally abusive parent he is, I am NOT manifesting a redemption arc for his ugly ass, and hope that Dev gets to stand up to him in a BIG way in the shows future 🥰
Anyway: Is Dale Still a shoddy father in the Fairly normal Parents AU?-
YES. He’s WORSE, actually!! ☠️
Trust me when I say the read-more is necessary here- PLEASE read the content warnings before deciding to proceed- covering fairy Dale and Fairy Devs relationship requires me breaking away from the wholesomeness of the rest of the AU to cover some darker topics-
CONTENT WARNINGS: dalepreg, mild NSFW text, unwanted pregnancy, references to pregnancy termination, emotional abuse, parental neglect, manipulation, unhealthy parental relationships, Dale Dimmadome in general
Okay, with that out of the way-
One important thing to note about my swap au is that, in the time period the ask blog takes place, ALL the faires are adults! Which I point out only to explain why, at this point in the story, Dev has ALREADY had his gigantic falling out with his father (that’s, tbh, pretty similar to the one I like to think HUMAN Dev eventually has in my personal hc timeline for him) SO YEAH, Dev and his father are currently NOT on speaking terms, and he really dislikes talking about him (Perry has never so much as learned Dale’s NAME. He’s that secretive about it after storming out and getting cut off, but I’m getting ahead of myself snsbdbdbd)
SO, TO START AT THE BEGINNING- Something I have yet to discuss in the ask blog bc we aren’t far enough in the plot yet for Dev to openly speak about magic (yes, plot ☠️) is the fact that Poof’s role as the “first fairy baby in a thousand years” actually belongs to FOUR faries in the swap AU- Dev, Hazel, Winn and Jasmyn!
(Aaand maybe some other kids from ANW too, it’s not carved in stone yet how many characters this includes 🤷)
The reason that so many fariy babies were born at ONCE- (inciting PURE CHAOS in fairyworld, I’m sure) is due to an anti-magical comet passing over fairyworld (which I have not yet worked out the name and specifics of, yall will have to give me til Hazel arrives to get THERE sbdbxjshdjdjjdd 😂)
BASICALLY the anti-comet, unbeknownst to anyone, weakened and warped the magic spell in place that prevented fairy babies from being possible-
-go ahead and assume this middle part for yourself lmao-
Once the pregnancies start making themselves know. FOR THE MOST PART fairy couples are ECSTATIC to learn that they’re expecting- and because the comet violated nothing in Da Rules, they were ALL allowed to keep thier miracle babies (don’t ask abt Antony wheeze, I’m still thinking abt it tbh 😂)
So all of fairyworld is abuzz with excitement about all the expecting miracle parents… with the exception of one. Dale ‘Day-breaker’ Dimmadome, owner of the corporation that runs most of fairyworld, and the LAST FAIRY ALIVE that should have been entrusted with caring for a child, has also found himself expecting (don’t ask me how it happened lmfao, let’s just say “partied too hard in fairly Las Vegas” and leave it at that ☠️☠️☠️)

Needless to say, Dale was NOT on board with the idea of being pregnant, giving birth, OR raising a baby, so he has the AU pairs research every possible solution to the ‘problem’ right away, and keeps his pregnancy a secret for as long as possible.
However, all of that changed when the future visions started. They were mild, at first- just strangely frequent moments of Deja vu in Dales day to day life running his company, and strangely accurate dreams every now and then. BUUT as Dev continued to develop and grow, the visions got clearer and clearer, until Dale finally got fed up and went to see a fairy fortune teller, who informed him that his unborn baby must be the source of the prophetic dreams, and they would only get more powerful with time. Even in his fetal state, other clairvoyants Dale went to see could tell- DEV was going to be a VERY powerful one.

Okay so here’s where the “eugh” REALLY starts for me- (if it hasn’t started for u already screams)
Once Dale realized how USEFUL the future visions were, he decided to halt his research, and carry the baby to term, so that he could continue to have the visions, as he considered them an advantage while expanding his corporation.
Much to Dales dismay however, the SECOND the baby is BORN, Dale loses the clairvoyance ENTIRELY, buuuut now that Dale knows he has something to GAIN from doing so, he decides he DOES want to raise this child, so that it can be of use to him in the future (tho by “raise” I of course mean “make the AU pairs raise ☠️☠️)

I don’t have a drawing of them yet, but fun fact, fairy Dev was raised by two au pairs (the AU’s pixie equivalent) that are based on his drones from ANW- their ‘names’ are technically just strings of numbers, but Dev nicknamed his two servants/gaurdians/weird robotic gay dads “silver” and “Gold” 🥈🥇
I’ll infodump on them too if anyone asks abt em, but this is the Dale post wheeze, back to the horrors-
Dev grows up barley knowing his father, but slowly gets more and more demanding of his fathers attention with time, desperately wanting to form a relationship with him. Eventually, Dale relents, allowing Dev to spend much of his time by his father’s side, almost like a teeny tiny advisor or smthn? Baby Dev couldn’t be happier, but Unfortunately, it’s Dale, so ofc he had ulterior motives. basically as SOON as Dev was able to talk, Dale began to constantly ask if he had had any new visions, even getting dev private magic/ fortune telling/ clairvoyance lessons, to try and hone his child’s skills as much as possible as quickly as possible.
At first Dev thinks nothing of how hyper-focused Dale is on his future-seeing powers, and is just happy to be included and close to his dad for once. He’s more than happy to have visions for him, recounting them with excitement, and delighting in the praise whenever his insight was considered “legitimately helpful”
However, as time went on, and Dev gained the context of meeting the OTHER fairy kids and thier families, he couldn’t help but slowly start to question his fathers “parenting methods” - if you could even call them that ☠️☠️
(Hazel Wishingwell heard a rumor about a secret fairy child being spotted on a balcony of the Dimmadome building, so she, Winn and Jasmyn went to investigate! WIP of a comic I’ll finish eventually. maybe. probably.
poor dev lived a very Elsa-esque, isolated life before he made three gremlin friends who started routinely “kidnapping” him from his damn repunzel tower to have fun and hang out 🥺💕)

This ever-growing sense of unease continues to eat at kid Divination, and part of him starts to wonder if his dad really DOES only care about his powers like his friends say he does…
they are all. horrified. To learn how little attention and affection Devs father gives him. ESPECIALLY because the three of them have incredibly loving parents that have been calling them “miracles” and “gifts” thier whole lives, while Dale has basically done nothing but COMPLAIN to dev about how HARD it was to carry him for all those months, especially when he wants Dev to stop questioning him. ☠️
So one day, as an experiment, Dev LIES about his future vision. Since Dev realized there was no way for anyone else to witness and vouch for the accuracy of his vision-retelling, he decides to advise his father AGAINST the deal he was prodding Dev to see a prediction for, despite his vision clearly telling him that the partnership would be extremely profitable. Dev does this for a few reasons, but it’s a decision owed in no small part to the fact that, the more successful partnerships his dad is involved with at any given time, the less time he has to spend with his son (not that his “spending time with” involves much outside of Dev telling his dad his visions and Dale ignoring any non-biussness conversation his literal child tries to start with him 🙃)
This works for a while, with dev estatic to be getting to spend more time with his dad, even IF his mood is consistently terrible from having to back out of so many potential partnerships that he thought for SURE would work and be profitable, but it didn’t occur to him that his son may be LYING until one day, a partnership HE turned down BLOWS UP after pairing with a DIFFERENT company. When confronted, Dev immediately breaks down and comes clean, trying to defend himself by claiming he “just wanted to spend more time with him”.
Dale is BEYOND un-moved by the sentiment, and swiftly bans dev from his office and advisor council, seeing very little of him for most of devs teen years (tho of course they pass by and interact now and then, Dale goes out of his way to steer clear of Dev is his “emotionally volatile state” or whatever)
Once Dev is a young adult however, Dale makes him an offer for how Dev can once again be useful to thier family business: since dev has been continuing to hone his magical abilities even in his fathers absence, by 17/18 he’s quite the skilled clairvoyant, so Dale offers to instate him as an offical employee of the Dimmadome corporation, and have him offer fortune telling services for a Hefty price.
Dev agrees, and it’s fine at first, but dev quickly realizes he HATES his job, and in addition, seeing into the future MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY was really starting to take a toll on both devs mental AND physical health (he started to struggle with migraines -hence the glasses- and near-constant dissociation episodes, to the point where dev often found himself disoriented and unsure if what he was seeing was real or a vision, if that makes sense?)
Dev eventually has enough, and works up the nerve to, at first politely, tell his father that he needs to quit his job. It takes dale and dev quite a bit of back and forth before Dale realizes the EXTENT to which dev is intending to quit (cold turkey) emotions rise steadily, until the attempted professional resignation has dissolved into a SHOUTING MATCH between a father and son

After dev SCREAMS every single thing he’s been holding back for YEARS into his fathers face, he storms off, and hasn’t been back since. Dev also indirectly trashed his office, because Devs magic reacts on its own when extreme emotions are at play (he gets the flaming hair thing from his dad tho dbdbdbendnd)
Current day dev actually isn’t SURE where he and his father stand, but he assumed it wasn’t good after all his credit cards stopped working, forcing him to take a job as a godparent to earn a living himself (Hazel was MORE than happy to drag him to godparenting school tho lmaoo)
SO YEAH THATS PRETTY MUCH IT
I miiiight make it canon that Dev and his dad reconcile and reconnect after Dev saves fairywolrd, but that’s getting into spoiler territory wheeze
TYSM for the question! Apologizes if this made anyone uncomfortable to read, but thanks for getting all the way down to the bottom of this ungoldly long ramble too lmaooo 🥺❤️
#bless yall for asking me stuff that gives me a reason to write these feral ass drabbles lmao#they’re a lot of fun tbh#and like I said in a previous post#despite having a LOT of the lore thought out for this AU#moooooost of it involves magic#so I’m gonna get the normaler questions out of the way before the inciting incident that kicks of set 2#where the boys and dev will start more openly talking about fairies and magic#might have Ved cameo a few times too#love drawing that freakass lmao#mpreg#dale dimmadome#divination Dimmadome#ehhh I’m not gonna put this one in that tag bc it’s kind not sfw#this that SECRET lore 😂

Please, share your favourite facts about your DA OCs! 👀
hi!!! I'm going to try (and probably fail) (update: yes. I failed) to keep the lore brief. also I'm going to have a Veilguard Spoilers Section at the end of the post, so everything before that is spoiler free
Kyana Amell: semi-recently received a lore update where she was possessed by a Hunger demon as a child and saved via a ritual like the one Connor went through (and paying for that ritual probably was a big factor in flushing the remains of the Amell family fortune down the drain). the ritual mostly succeeded, but a piece of Hunger demon essence, not powerful or sentient enough to really take over, remained attached to her and over time created a weird symbiosis with her. during Broken Circle, when trapped in the Fade, she discovers that she can consume spirits to fuel her strength, which does almost kill her but once it doesn't she's just. this half-abomination now. and she eats spirits. which is actually what fuels her "spirit healer" abilities, because post-her weird abomination metamorphosis most spirits will clock her Predator Vibes and just won't go near her. her teeth get really sharp.
Secret Hawke: I love her silly name so much. it started as a joke, as in I wanted a new Hawke and I had a concept but not a name so when posting about her I called her "(my) secret Hawke" and then I went "wait, Secret is kind of a great name". and it fits her really well because she operates entirely through bits and theatrics, because that's what her version of Malcolm did. he gave his daughter a funny name because it was funny, but also because it was guaranteed to draw attention. everyone would remember the funny name. when they went to Chantry services together they would do a bit where Malcolm would approach the revered mother and solemnly announce, "revered mother, I must confess, I have a secret,,," and his daughter would pop out from behind his back and go "it's mee!! :D" and everyone loved that joke. they knew that Malcolm Hawke was a funny guy who gave his daughter a funny name, which was an endearing and acceptable kind of weird, so they never bothered to suspect them of anything deeper. when Secret meets Charade she's DELIGHTED. the trickster name cousins
Neilar Lavellan: world's most selfless guy (<- derogatory). his entire being is basically "clan loyalty Gone Wrong". he was raised to value community above all else, including himself, which served him mostly right as Random Scout #3 who survived by unquestioningly trusting his clanmates and knowing they'd do the same, who could always count on being loved and accepted as long as he was doing his part, but that backfires SO BADLY when he gets elevated to a solo leadership position in a culture that's not familiar to him. he doesn't know how to advocate for himself. he doesn't really know how to exist alone, either. and he figures it out, slowly, over the course of DAI, but it's all too little too late, and he hasn't built up his will enough to save him from possession by the Sorrows. (shoutout to the joined worldstate with @curiouslavellan's Halveri where she - mage, First, Inquisitor, the one with the mark - was meant to drink from the Well, but got incapacitated by an injury before they got there, so Neil did it. because he knew Hal wouldn't want the Well to go to Morrigan, and he doesn't want it either. so he offers himself up instead)
Evelyn Trevelyan: I've been really leaning into her Liar Aspect and enjoying it GREATLY. lying is her primary fear response, and the more scared she is, the wilder the lie gets. I love her specific brand of Defense Lying, which consists of staring the other person right in the eye, making the most insane claim she can think of, and then basically daring them to prove it wrong. and most won't, because who would ever choose to lie about something like that? examples include: her being caught at the Conclave wearing Circle enchanter robes (because her old clothes became unwearable and that's all the rebel mages could scrounge up for her. probably taken from an enchanter who died.) and then just claiming (as a baby-faced 23-year-old) to be an enchanter instead of the un-Harrowed apprentice she is because maybe THAT won't get her killed. other examples include: that one time in the joined worldstate with @curiouslavellan's Aurelia (yes hello Elly, I'm tagging you TWICE) when her freshly un-Tranquil-ed co-Herald ran away from Skyhold and, when questioned, she stared Cassandra in the eye and went "I saw Andraste in my dream tonight. Aurelia ascended to Her side". GOOD LUCK PROVING THAT SHE'S LYING. Solas and Bull are playing chess with their lies. Evelyn is playing chicken
Aqun Adaar: currently having a LOT of fun with his Solasmance worldstate. I wanted to find a canon LI for him for a LONG time and none of the canonically romanceable options were really clicking, then Pillars Of Eternity got me into romancing the unromanceable and several Solasmancer friends got me to care about Solas JUST enough to go "well okay HOLD ON - " and holy heck. The Themes I managed to get out of this. the dichotomy of Guy Who Wants To Fix Everything and Guy Who Will Tear It All Down. Aqun is to the mortal world what Solas is to the world of spirits: endlessly fascinated by its works, its fiercest defender, its chosen champion, believing himself personally responsible for its fate. he's also a scholar, engaging with the world by studying it, and there's just this. really fun dynamic forming when I look at Solas as someone hiding his true nature, but also kind of desperate to be studied, understood, solved like a riddle. which would be REALLY BAD for him if it happened. but he can't find it in himself to stop Aqun from trying
May Cadash: big fan of the duality of brute and mastermind she has going on. she's been a bruiser for well over a decade. she was also going to rule a crime family once (and, depending on the worldstate, she might still do that!). she spent a lot of time training herself out of thinking, but she never quite managed to do it, and despite herself, she observes. and she questions. and she thinks and thinks and thinks. and she can sharpen herself into a blade or blunt herself into a bludgeoning hammer and throw herself at a foe and survive, but she can never stay just that, no matter how much she wants to. because her biggest strength isn't her physical strength, it's her will, and will needs purpose and direction and her mind will always be looking for one. and she finds one, either in the form of reclaiming her place as the head of the Cadash family and trying to steer an empire of evil to do "good", accepting that there will be blood on her hands, or in the form of letting the family business burn and becoming a Seeker. (also pondering the idea of her getting Seeker powers from being touched by Not-Justinia in the Fade either way at the beginning or in Here Lies The Abyss. also pondering a Cullenmance AU for her. many May thoughts, all in the background for now)
Bonus Round: Woe! Veilguard Rewrites Be Upon Ye (spoilers after this point)
Secret Hawke: I was toying with the idea of her being visited by Flemythal multiple times during DA2, extending the weird prophecy moment to Mythal having a weird curiosity towards Secret in general (maybe as a potential vessel? Morrigan DID get away from her, after all), and after learning the Morrigan and Mythal situation in Veilguard I thought, well. Secret "did not hesitate to leap" and stayed behind in the Fade, not as a self-sacrifice but because she was actually convinced she could make it, and... what if she survived the Nightmare, and was left to wander the Fade alone, and eventually something (Mythal) reached out and promised to save her if she agreed to become a vessel. what if it's Secret chilling in the Lighthouse in Veilguard instead of Morrigan. something something, the woman who was trying to hard to become a story swallowed up by mythology that isn't even hers. also she romances Merrill, which is A LOT in this context
Aqun Adaar: one of the biggest plot changes I made to him as a Solasmancer was making him drink from the Well (the other one is that he does IHW instead of COTJ, but that is true for all worldstates, it just works better with his obsession with red lyrium and Fixing Everything, I think. the Well is a Solasmance exclusive), which he SPECIFICALLY does because Solas abruptly breaking things off with him and acting weird and refusing to EXPLAIN nullifies most of the trust Aqun had for him, so when Solas pleads with him not to drink from the Well, Aqun does it because Solas told him not to. which, after the whole thing with Solas absorbing Mythal's essence, binds them forever! yippee! that, alongside with the romance, is why I think Aqun is going to be way more involved in the story of whatever my fanfiction version of Veilguard will end up being. it also gives me some fun ideas to play with in regards to the ending, because Aqun would not hold hands with Solas and walk into the Veil (they've been trying to kill each other for ten years. Varric is FREAKING DEAD.), but also locking Solas away forever feels like a kind of abrupt and not fully satisfying ending to the version of their story that exists in my brain. specifically these two ideas:
remember how slumbering Evanuris could speak through dragons that were bound to them? well, Aqun, congrats on being Solas' dragon. kind of. you probably have dragon blood and you have this magical bond to him so now you're his last point of access to the waking world and can probably talk to him in your dreams. which I know you're not happy about, but hey, when you die this window into the mortal world is going to die with you and then he'll be TRULY alone, so, you know. maybe settle the things you can still settle while you can.
whatever remains of Mythal's will compels Aqun to follow Solas into the Veil at the last second either to hurt both of them as much as possible (this is the vengeful fragment of Mythal that has incomplete memories and thinks Solas betrayed her, or whatever), or for some hidden agenda of hers, I don't even know. the point is that they're now trapped together and I can put them in surreal psychological/existential horror scenarios, and also maybe there's a goal to try to get Aqun out. or maybe not. which would be heartbreaking in his own way, because, remember, he is to the waking world what Solas is to the Fade. him being separated from it forever is cruel. but also, accepting that separation is something Solas wasn't capable of, but Aqun might be. I don't know. I'm still rotating that one in my mind

Doodles of Eira when she was younger, just for fun :3
#secret lore tag time#She was raised within the forgotten vale#and spent most her life singing in the choir dedicated to worship within the Chantry#and originally her family took refuge in the area to escape the slaughter of their people#Eventually they would move from there too when her mother#a very spiritual woman#got the feeling they would not be safe in the near future#and thats how she ended up outside of skyrim until the events of the game where she got caught trying to get back in#ill add more on tomorrow when im sober#oc: eira#eira#skyrim#skyrim falmer#falmer#skyrim snow elf#snow elf#ehhh#shitty pic of my screen lol

Since I’m already dumping a bunch of sketches, here are a few more for the generic light fantasy au that lives inside my head rent free (aka my poor excuse to give Trent a sword) (read the captions and tags for a little more context)
#I just love making buck wild aus….. my catnip#anyways time for the choppy lore dump#anyways the basis of this au is Trent is a mercenary that is hired by the Richmond fort to assess its garrison#only for him to be fucking flabbergasted by the head knight who seems to have little fighting experience at all#trent himself is like good at ending a fight very quickly#He’s quick and precise with a rapier … but the longer a duel goes on the less likely it is he will win it#he doesn’t want to be a mercenary… he wants to to be able to have a quiet life with his daughter and write about the world#anyhoo Ted has healing magic in this… problem is all people with the ability to cast magic are supposed to be known and registered#ted is hiding his abilities :) no one knows but Rebecca and beard who would protect that secret with their lives#alright this lore dump has gone on for too long…there is so much more and it eats my brain#blood tw#trent crimm#my art#I’ll put this in the TL tag in like a day or something I don’t feel like tagging it right now#this is for me and my own fun

AND THEREFORE I NEVER LIE
#wordstag#notwordswordstag#Guys. Sidney Gish. no dogs allowed. Listen today.#I didn't bake anything today so I'm compensating by drawing something. Lol.#I fear I should give her some sort of tag (everyone else has one) but I don't really know what yet.#in due time... for now I am resigned to going though my flash cards because dear lord I forgot about those and let's just say . 207 cards.#We were kind of slaking I fear.#I started watching angels of death it's like . Ok. Better than the last show i watched lol#I wiiiish we got more world building and whatnot but I'm also only like. 5 episodes in.#and the standard of the last show I watched is a really cruel standard in terms of world building#Anyway. I will be off. I noticed a minor mistake in the drawing but I won't tell you 😼 because I'm soo good at not giving up my secrets#You know how you have to open a sketchbook with like a bunch of scribbles i think I'm gonna do that before I post this. As to set#the tone and such. Also first post of the year that's some pressure man#anyway that ^ post was the fish. Everyone say thank you fish#Fish lore that fish was originally held up by a hand but I used my killer art skills to edit that part of the drawing out

-> @underlash-owl
Well well

Don't worry about it, Rin.
#blue lock#rin itoshi#Ask#bllk rp#Blue lock rp#Okay so hiding this in the tags so the mod knows the context 😂#Girlfriend fc is basically a community of us blue lock fans itself who at some point of time had i <3 my bf/GF pfp with the blue lockers#We have had several lores and are the best who have beaten blue lock as a team in the past and touched highest glories too :p#I can give you more context Abiut the lores we've had in the past if you want :3#But it's basically plot thickening because Kira has Loki on her pfp but is actually a secret admirer of rin bahaha#girlfriend fc#gf fc

[SSR] Rosienne Minuit - The Rose Festival
after many tears, the main star is here!! 🌟 or, Rosienne's card for my fan event (which is also, technically, his hometown event)
surprisingly, he's not in a dress this time, but i saw the coat on Pinterest and couldn't resist myself. the yellow is, of course, a reference to Belle because one he deserves to be the main character for once and second because i wanted to drive home that he's got some inspiration from her too
[ voicelines under the cut // mention of @cheerleaderman's Astrid ]
Summon Line: Ah, you should be careful around here. Wouldn’t want to get your fingers pricked by the roses, would you? When Summoned: You better not slack off, Prefect. We have to get everything ready on time. Don’t look at me like that. I’m the boss here, I can lay down. Groooovy!!: [locked] Home: How was it like growing up in a castle like this? Well, cold, mostly. Home Idle 1: I’ve been helping my dad run this place ever since I was a little kid. You can probably find lots of embarrassing photos of baby me in period clothes. Home Idle 2: Back in middle school, I never really invited any of my classmates to the festival. It’s kind of nice to do so now, you know? Home Idle 3: Somebody falling for you even despite your monstrous appearance, such a beautiful tale! That doesn’t happen in real life, of course, but it’s fun to indulge from time to time. Home Idle - Login: Yes, yes, I know, it’s weird seeing me in such bright colors. You don’t have to say it. Home Idle - Groovy: [locked] Home Tap 1: That dress looks spectacular on Astrid. Who knew he could look anything other than a sad medieval orphan? Home Tap 2: I invited Silver mostly because I’ve expected him to look real prince-like in here. And he does! His face is great at driving more guests in. Home Tap 3: My dad’s been so excited to meet my friends… and I’ve been stressed somebody will embarrass me before him. Home Tap 4: Despite her name, it is said that the Beautiful Princess valued inner beauty more than the person’s looks. I’m sure a certain someone could learn from her. Okay, okay, that was a joke! You don’t have to go repeating it to him! Home Tap 5: Riddle’s took to teach people historical tableside manners. Usually, only our staff knows so much about this sort of stuff. I’m kind of impressed. Home Tap - Groovy: [locked]
Duo Magic
ROSIENNE: You better not fall behind, pretty boy. VIL: Oh, I'd rather worry if you can keep up.
#twisted wonderland#twst#twst oc#twisted wonderland oc#twst fan event#pomefiore oc#💌 art#🥀 rosienne#ngl im quite proud of this one#tho if i have to draw ONE MORE ROSE#i'll explode i SWEAR#anyways!!#i rlly hope i'll be able to make the cards for józia + the canon boys bc ive got their outfits designed already and#im quite proud of the designs too!!#im having so much fun with this is what im trying to say#tried not to push my own oc x canon's because this is an open event and all but i allowed myself to get a little indulgent with#the duo magic lines <3#okay secret tags lore tm but#ive actually been thinking about rosie calling vil pretty boy as an insult back when they still didnt like eachother#and then it turning into a term of endearment over time.........#ugh i feel SO normal guys i swear

thank you robbie for confirming that dorian is a disaster bisexual. i truly love this for him and no wonder he got along with caleb.
i also cannot stop thinking about him saying that young teenage dorian snuck out to kiss some visiting ambassador’s daughter. now i have a headcanon based on this that she was originally there for cyrus but took more of an interest in dorian. sneaking out to kiss her was a little bit of rebellion because someone was finally paying more attention to him than his brother.
#☼*・゚ Out of Character — ↳ crys speaks#( little secret kissy times )#( this was such a cute lore details and i love it for him )#( i’ll eventually tag this with a headcanon tag but i don’t want the personal blogs to find it )
