Where can I find a dark MC dark Sebastian corruption arc falling into darkness and madness together type Bonnie and Clyde fic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Art by Nipuni source: twitter @Doloplokos_)
Tumblr media
Spoiler alert ⚠️
Please ignore the following if you haven’t finish the game.
I’m totally having this endless brain rot ever since beating the game because I chose the “evil ending” for my MC and didn’t get the satisfaction to see her actually turning dark.
There are so much potential left unexplored. Like digging deeper into all the situations the MC been thru with Sebastian it’s so clear that they care for each other deeply but also there are always more complicated motives and power dynamics going on. Through out all the choices we got with Sebastian the MC is actually the manipulator ( like if you want to get Sebastian to teach you dark arts you choose to say things that he would want to hear) and inevitably becomes the enabler In Sebastian’s path to darkness.
This is also the reason why i didn’t choose to turn Sebastian in because it just wouldn’t make sense and would make the MC a double standard hypocrite since the MC had used the unforgivable curses in numerous occasions and I find it hard to justify. Or the MC is just purely evil by putting Sebastian in Azkaban after he provides no value to the MC anymore since all the unforgivable curses are taught. Anyway I might have just been over analyzing and making it too complex for a game. But just saying the MC definitely would not have the moral high ground here and it would be interesting to see if the MC has the ambition and plan to rise to power in the Wizarding world (since ancient magic wielding abilities alone is so OP already)and what part would Sebastian play in the future.
Btw I don’t even think that the MC would necessarily be a Slytherin to turn dark per say. I think in this specific plot line of Hogwarts Legacy it would be interesting to have a ravenclaw turning “evil” if you consider that Isidora is a ravenclaw and how the MC could share a lot of similarities with her: unmatched talent and magical power, intelligence and empathetic personality etc. and also it would be so cool to see a mastermind who is not becoming “dark” to just gain power but self-perceived as doing good for others. Totally make sense honestly and every house actually has the potential to turn dark.

Thedas Calls - Dragon Age Day (2023)
A full reveal for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is scheduled for summer 2024.
Latest details
Thedas Calls
You’ve visited the lands of Thedas thrice before in our games and many more times in comics, books, art, and short stories. This time, you’ll be venturing to places unseen and returning to places from long ago.
To celebrate Dragon Age Day, we wanted to show you some of those sights.
We stand on the precipice of change. This is a world brimming with stories and characters waiting to meet you. The fate of this world teeters on the edge of a knife. In past games, you only got to see a slice of the world. In Origins, it was Ferelden—a land ravaged by war and Dark Spawn. In II, it was Kirkwall and its locales—festering with corruption and a dark underworld. And in Inquisition, you ventured across much of Orlais—facing down political intrigue as often as combat.
Tumblr media
This time, however, much more of Thedas is yours to see. The desolate, beautiful badlands of the Anderfels with curtains of distant mountainous spires. The twisting canals and gleaming towers of Antiva, where Crows may lurk in any shadow. The turquoise seas of Rivain with its rushes of greenery and hardy sea-faring people. And of course, there’s more.
Tumblr media
We felt this was best for the tale we wanted to tell this time and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have! It’s allowed us to create many more locations than past games, including both some you’ve longed to go to…and some you’ve never heard of before!
Tumblr media
The Places You’ll Go
To help capture the wonders of Thedas, we partnered with three wonderful artists from our exceptionally talented community and gave them an early look at what you’ve now seen. We’ve always been so fortunate to have such an incredibly skilled community of artists, and getting to work with these three was a true joy!
We asked each of them to create a vista of one of the three regions in the video based on their interpretation of it in their own unique styles. Please enjoy their wonderful work, and be sure to send them some love when you check out their personal channels for more of their art!
—“Rivain” by Gabriela Isache
Upon eastern shores and sunkissed sands, the Lords of Fortune no longer hold dominion over the coasts of Rivain—not when dragons are growing bolder and laying waste to their ships.
Tumblr media
—“Antiva” by Nipuni
Ever the pinnacle of mystery and intrigue, the Crows watch from the deep shadows of beautiful Antiva. Something, however, is amiss, and they are set on uncovering the source.
Tumblr media
—“Anderfels” by Solelle
To the far west, three Grey Wardens patrol the Anderfels. Tremors have been creating disturbances of late. Their cause is unknown. Upon the distant horizon, a storm of ominous intent brews and darkens the skies.

Hey Mochi Chan, do you know anything with the Phantom of the Opera? If so can you please do quotes or song lyrics from it? If you don’t know phantom of the opera then can you please do quotes from Ponyo? Love ya!
Hello anon 🐥
You called me Mochi chan that's cute. My otaku's heart is soft. I already did Ponyo quotes, and I don't know if you send this first or later. Tumblr mess my asks a lot.

Pisces: "Are people so unhappy when they love?”
“Yes, Christine, when they love and are not sure of being loved”.

Questions for fic writers: I also know all of these, but let's go with #24 "Are there any easter eggs in [any of your fics], and if so, what are they?"
*bonk bonk* 😘🌼
Oh yes, WG has a bunch. And all of them are inspired by Nipuni's utterly fantastic art. At first it wasn't deliberate, but once I made the connection between what I was writing and the source for the image in my head, I rolled with it. You've seen her work, I'm sure you can't blame me. Her depiction of Solas is exquisite. Let's see...
There's a fairly obvious moment inspired by 'Schooling Pride' (ch 116). 'Kiss on the Battlefield' pretty much sums up their entire dynamic. 'Cry Havoc' inspired a battle scene climax (ch 97) and there are not one but TWO scenes inspired by 'Kisses' (chs 7 and 17).
One of these days, tiny gods willing and the creek don't rise, I will have some of Nipuni's art that I can look at always and forever. The hardest part will be narrowing it down to which one?
*bonk* 😘 Thanks for the ask. From this list.

How Solas and Lavellan can both die but still end up together: Keeping the theme of ‘hopefulness’ through the arc of  the Solavellan romance
I am torturing myself at this point, but there’s something so distinctly beautiful about an ending for Solas and Lavellan where because the memory of their love is so strong, so well-known throughout Thedas, that this remembrance is part of what gives birth to their continuation in the Fade. Patrick Weekes has referred to this romance as “ultimately a hopeful one”, and I think this theme of memory shaping reality will give Solas and Lavellan their happy ending, or, in keeping with the overall romance theme, at least a hopeful one.
Tumblr media
source
I want Solas to resist helping up until the last second when he sees Lavellan willingly engage in an action that will end in her death, and he sees her plan working before his very eyes. This is the moment that he realizes: He was wrong. It becomes clear that unless he helps her, her sacrifice will be in vain – whatever it is, it needs more than she can give. This is Solas’ moment of commitment to Lavellan that he ran away from in Crestwood, and, beyond that, it is also an act of redemption. 
Their lives end at each other’s sides, and maybe there’s a touching moment, maybe just a look of understanding, of shared experiences and grief and love (because Lavellan always believed and part of Solas always hoped: var lath vir suledin), and he pools the rest of his power into whatever process Lavellan has set in motion, and we see, like with Wisdom in All New Faded For Her, their spirits dissipating into the ether. 
I would love to see an epilogue that is as far as hundreds of years into the future, where whatever state the world is in now, it is made clear that Solas and Lavellan’s love story has endured. We can imagine that they are the sort of fated couple that has inspired romances in dramas or literature. This serves two roles:
1. It sets it up for the player who has romanced Solas to know that their romance was real, that, finally, Solas and Lavellan have a positive ending, and their love was not for nothing. It sets it apart from a storyline with a non-Solas romanced Inquisitor in a way that’s meaningful but not difficult to do.
2. "If the idea giving the spirit form is strong, or if the memory has shaped other spirits, it may someday rise again.” We get the sense that Solas and Lavellan might not really be gone, some incarnation of their spirits may have reformed and found each other once more, tucked away in the woods somewhere, together for eternity, actually living the fantasy so many players hoped to see them live out.

Ty for the tag! I will try my best to do this right because i still have no idea how to use Tumblr since i just appeared out of nowhere and started doing stuff.
Tag (9) people you’d like to get to know better!
Last song: “Haunt, the Cartoon Heart” by Bear Ghost. Ive had this absolute disney villain (slight Erik core???No, VERY erik core) of a song on repeat for at least 4 months theres no saving me.
Currently reading: Dracula by Bram Stoker. I am a little baby that is just entering the fandom because gothic literature is my entire life source and i will DIE without my sustenance. Yummy books. Yumyum in my tumtum.
Currently Watching: I dont watch many things, but ive been thinking about watching “What We Do in the Shadows” Because i absolutely love vampires.
Current obsession: The Phantom of the Opera, sprinkled with a dash of Ride the Cyclone and Dracula. I am resisting the urge to type a whole essay about my love for Erik. I am very normal about him, as you can see.
Tags (im so sorry if you already got tagged 😭‼️): @tondroom @rumpletrumple @do2faj @nipuni @birdstooth @moss-lovinggenderfluid @exhausted-undead @lepetitphantom @polkaclown
I was tagged by @puddinginthemix 🤩
Tag nine (9) people you'd like to know better
Last song: Lothlorien by Enya! I was giving myself an Enya moment on my phone after seeing a Tumblr post about her living all alone in her castle. I listened to that album of hers that everyone had in the early 90s, and made my sister laugh by singing to Orinoco Flow AND THEN I played Lothlorien (another Enya song) which my child recognised from the LOTR movies, which pleased them 🥰
Currently reading: Possession by AS Byatt. I read it many years ago. It's the only book that's ever made me cry, and it's a joy to read it again as an adult. I understand a lot more of it now.
Currently watching: nothing right now! I'm in a place with no reliable internet and no TV. I want to watch The Sixth Commandment when I can because it sounds utterly harrowing.
Current obsession: thinking about a fic I've taken about 9 months off actually writing (it's called The Rosy Hours) which is hard because the relationship dynamics are difficult and sad and awful, but I still find them quite fascinating which is why I haven't given up on it...

Today, as we live through this COVID-19 Pandemic, our country, Philippines, is treating this big crisis really seriously. So, as a fellow countrymen, we tend to obey and cooperate on what rules and protocols our Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) established when in terms to our safety. But;
"Do everyone of us follow or remember those protocols?"
The DOH astablished this program called "BIDA Plus+ Solusyon sa COVID-19" with Alden Richards as their Ambassador. BIDA Plus+ stands for:
B – Bawal ang walang mask at face shield.
I – Isanitize ang mga kamay at iwasan ang kulob na lugar.
D – Dumistansya ng isang metro at limitahan ang pisikal na interaksyon sa iba.
A – Alamin ang totoong impormasyon.
Plus+ – Suportahan ang FDA approved na bakuna.
Tumblr media
If we follow these protocols, we can be certain that our health is very secure. Base on the interview of Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases expert,"The things we're asking people to do are not easy. They are definitely disruptive, they're definitely challenging, but they do have evidence to show that they work when implemented broadly, widely and followed by everyone."

OC Questionnaire Meme
Thanks for the tag @dafan7711​ !
Tumblr media
GENERAL
Name: Elisara Tarael Lavellan (Elisara as a child)
Alias(es): Elli
Gender: Female
Age: 34 at the beginning of Inquisition
Place of birth: Ferelden, on the peninsula by Alamar, which is between Highever and Denerim
Spoken languages: Trade tongue (common), and more than the usual amount of elven/elvhen because her father Revas trained her as Second for a long time, hoping that she would show signs of being a mage. She never did, though she is proud of knowing the People’s history.
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Hunter and tracker for clan Lavellan, Inquisitor.
APPEARANCE
Eye colour: Green
Hair colour: Blonde
Height: 5′7″
Scars: Yes, a slash on the right side of her face. Wounds from red templars don’t heal well...
Overweight: No
Underweight: No
FAVOURITE
Colour: Purple
Hair colour: Brown. She always felt out of place among her dark haired clanmates.  
Eye colour: No preference
Entertainment: Watching wildlife, reading, exploring the wilds and ruins.
Pastime: Same ^^
Food: Nuts. She often has a handful of shelled nuts squirreled away into a pouch.
Drink: Mint tea with honey, which leads to interesting situations with Solas.
Books: Most anything she can read, but she is particularly fond of bestiaries and herbariums, as well as any old books with maps.
HAVE THEY
Passed university: If Dalish university existed, perhaps. She can keep up with Solas & Dorian most of the time... okay, half of the time because those two are ridiculous.
Had sex: Yes
Had sex in public: She isn’t shy about nudity, and has had sex outdoors in the wilds many times, but it isn’t something she is public about. Ellie has not had many lovers, as the situation with her clan was complicated.
Gotten pregnant: No
Kissed a man: Yes
Kissed a woman: Not romantically, but one of her fellow huntresses was always very affectionate.
Gotten tattoos: Yes, her vallaslin, which also includes root-like branches on her shoulders.
Gotten piercings: No
Had a broken heart: Twice before, much to her frustration. Sometimes others saw her as a source of prestige, as Keeper’s daughter, which led to a few relationships that ended badly for both parties. Then there’s Solas...
Been in love: Yes, and she still loves Solas.
Stayed up for more than 24 hours: Yes
ARE THEY
A virgin: No
A cuddler: I suppose not, as she doesn’t like feeling vulnerable and is a rather private person. She’s not shy about showing her affection for friends, but it’s rarely physical unless with someone very close (Hallen, for example) or a lover, and then generally it’s in private. She’s also likely to just start a full-fledged conversation while curled up after sex, which makes it less cuddly.
A kisser: Yes
A smoker: No
Scared easily: No
Jealous easily: No    
Trustworthy: Yes, but she is also perfectly willing to be deceptive when the situation warrants.
Dominant: Confidence really isn’t an issue...at all. She’s not the type that likes being in control though, and doesn’t enjoy making others feel inferior even if she’s in charge.
Submissive: If you think she’s being submissive, beware. There’s a reason for it, and you might not be ready to deal with the consequences.
Single: No
FAMILY
Sibling(s): She considers Hallenon her brother, but has no actual siblings.
Parents: Revas and Tarael, both deceased.
Children: No
Pets: Her hart at Skyhold is named Terise, but she isn’t a pet.
RANDOM QUESTIONS
Have they harmed themselves: No, not intentionally.
Thought of suicide: This is depressing to even ask. No.
Attempted suicide: No.
Wanted to kill someone: Yes. If Deshanna hadn’t been their Keeper, it would have been a much nearer thing.
Actually killed someone: Yes, but not Deshanna.
Ridden a horse: Yes
Have/had a job: Sure, she had many jobs to do. Still does, only a million at once.
Have any fears: A tombstone in the Fade for Elli would say poison. It would seem odd, as she is trained as an assassin and isn’t paranoid about her food or drink. She fears becoming a poison to the people or places around her, and considers poison a disgusting, cowardly weapon to use for killing or manipulating someone. (She discusses what happened with Dorian in The ones who disappoint you the most)
Many of you have done this for some of your characters, but I’ll tag @raymurata @rederiswrites​ @nipuni @aban-asaara​ @daihell​ @hansaera​ @ladylike-foxes​ @elvenbeard​

Afraid of Needles? Don’t Let It Keep You From a Covid-19 Vaccine. Most people aren’t particularly fond of needles. But to a significant number of people, the fear of needles goes beyond merely inducing anxiety into a more dangerous area, in which the fear prevents them from seeking out needed medical care. And as the world’s hopes of returning to a post-pandemic normal rest largely on people’s willingness to take a Covid-19 vaccine, experts and health care professionals are assuring those people that there are ways to overcome this fear. “It would be heartbreaking to me if a fear of needles held someone back from getting this vaccine, because there are things we can do to alleviate that,” said Dr. Nipunie S. Rajapakse, an infectious diseases expert at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. A study from the University of Michigan found that 16 percent of adults from several countries avoided annual flu vaccinations because of a fear of needles, and 20 percent avoided tetanus shots. Mary Rogers, a retired University of Michigan professor and one of the authors of the study, said it was too soon to know if a similar number of people will abstain from the Covid-19 vaccine. But that fear tends to lessen as people age — which is concerning since surges of coronavirus cases have been driven by young people, who are more likely to have the phobia. Experts say it is a problem that can be overcome, whether the fear is keeping you from getting the vaccine or just causing you distress. Here are the steps they suggest taking. Seek professional help to conquer the phobia. A therapist can help people with the most severe fears, using some of the techniques that help people conquer other fears that can affect their lives. “When we really are worried about a fear is when it gets to the point that it is interfering with the person getting appropriate medical care, or is causing the person such distress that yes, they go ahead and get a flu shot or the vaccine, but they’re sick for a month thinking about getting it,” said Dianne Chambless, a retired professor of psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. With other phobias, professionals will often recommend slowly exposing yourself to the fear, like someone afraid of heights spending gradually more time on a balcony. But that’s harder to do with needles, since shots are infrequent and easily avoided. Dr. Chambless suggested working on your comfort levels by first looking at photos of needles and syringes, then photos of someone getting a shot, and working up to videos. But a therapist can offer a fuller plan. Updated  March 15, 2021, 7:45 a.m. ET If you can’t see a therapist, self-help books on overcoming phobias could be a quicker option, she said. Tell the nurse about your fears before getting the shot. There may be techniques they can use, or products available, to reduce the pain or be more patient, Dr. Rajapakse said. If it would help to have someone with you for support, some vaccination centers may allow it, but you would have to ask ahead of time. What You Need to Know About the Vaccine Rollout Some people’s fears may be so severe that they’re at risk of fainting. If that’s the case, the nurse may be able to administer the shot with you lying down, or otherwise help reduce the risk, Dr. Rajapakse said. If fainting is a risk and you begin to feel woozy, Dr. Chambless suggested tensing your body’s muscles to drive blood pressure to the head. Distract yourself. The whole thing will be over in seconds, and a distraction can help you get through it. It could be a YouTube video on your phone, or your favorite song playing. You could practice deep-breathing or meditative techniques, or wiggle your toes, or look around and count all of the blue items you can see in the room. Many people choose not to look directly at the needle. You don’t need to see it. “Draw your attention away from what is going on,” Dr. Rajapakse said. Focus on the benefits. For some people, the nervous anticipation of the shot is nearly as bad as the pinch itself. But in the case of the Covid-19 vaccine, there’s a lot to look forward to if the vaccine succeeds in allowing a return to normalcy. Dr. Rajapakse said that when she got her first dose, “my personal feeling was one of optimism and excitement rather than feeling nervous about it.” “Keeping that at the front of your mind can make this a little less of a nervous experience for you,” she said. The media can do its part by showing fewer images of people looking uncomfortable while a needle goes into their skin, which can aggravate feelings of anxiety, Dr. Rajapakse said. A good countermeasure is all of the positive photos emerging on social media of people holding their vaccination cards, she said. (Just be careful about how much information you’re sharing.) The more selfies, stickers and grateful posts people see, the more likely they are to associate the vaccine with positive feelings, she said.

Whatever
I realize no one might ever read this, so at least I’ll have somewhere to write my thoughts. I’ve been abused. Not sexually, but he made me feel like shit. Always. I believed I deserved that, that that was actually love. Now all I want is to get rid of this emotion, of this guilt. I should’ve seen the signs. But my biggest mistake was actually believing II was being loved. How can you be punished by a crime when the crime was hurting yourself?
I love nipuni’s works, so I’ll put it here. At least it’s something pretty.
