Who’s up for an OC TMI Tuesday?

Ask me about one of my characters, or direct a question at one of them and I’ll answer it in character!

You can ask them anything you want but fair warning, some of my characters might avoid or decline answering a question depending on their personality types ;)

Dragon Age Questions

I wasn’t tagged but I wanna!

01) Favourite game of the series?

DAI. No contest. That game saved my life after getting out of a toxic relationship.

02) How did you discover Dragon Age?

Been a BW fangirl ever since the olden Baldur’s Gate days.

03) How many times you’ve played the games?

Too many to count. Doing a replay right now.

04) Favourite race to play as?

While I love the elven backgrounds, all of my main OCs are human ladies.

05) Favourite class?

In DAO: Rogue. In DAII: Mage. In DAI: All equally!

06) Do you play through the games differently or do you make the same decisions each time?

Same decisions each time on Main.

07) Go-to adventuring group?

DAO: Leliana, Alistair, Zevran pre Landsmeet, after the Landsmeet: Loghain, Leliana, Morrigan

08) Which of your characters did you put the most thought into?

Rhiannon Cousland. While both Desideria and Drusilla are extremely dear to me, Rhia wins by default. She’s been with me for nearly 20 years now (She was originally my Imperial Canon Nerevarine in TES: Morrowind) and I’m STILL adding and discovering nuances.

09) Favourite romance?

LOGHAIN! *Coughs* Okay.

DAO: Zevran

DAII: Merrill

DAI: Blackwall/Solas

10) Have you read any of the comics/books?

I peeked into the Gaider series bc of King Maric (And having heard that he mentions Loghain) but I am not interested in King Alistair.

11) If you read them, which was your favourite book?

I only read the first two and dropped Asunder mid book. TME isn’t Canon in my ‘verse. The Calling is better than TST, esp. Maric & Loghain acting like an old married couple. Though it infuriates me that so much material that makes Loghain’s behavior at Ostagar (Distrust of Wardens, tactical retreat etc.) is buried in material 90% of the players will never read.

12) Favourite DLCs?

Trespasser. Bar none.

13) Things that annoy you.

The Alistair favoritism in DAO. To the point that Alistair still acts like a king when he’s not and the companions don’t react to his exile or frigging EXECUTION. The sexism towards Queen Anora. The sea of bugs that is Awakening. The size of some DAI maps and their emptiness. The gift system in DAO. 

14) Orlais or Ferelden?

Ferelden

15) Templars or mages?

Mages. Drusilla Trevelyan goes for Templars of the Just while the other half of her party goes to Redcliffe but I myself love the mages.

16) If you have multiple characters, are they in different/parallel universes or in the same one?

I did a few AUs with Rhia. Stardew Valley. Pillars of Eternity. Baldur’s Gate. A DA AU with @thecrownedserpent‘s lovely Hadiza Trevelyan as Inquisitor & Rhia as HoF. I am playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker with Desideria (Hawke) atm. The other origins exist in the Rhia ‘verse. Morgana Lyonesse Amell tutors Connor and eventually marries Bann Teagan. Tara Surana is the party’s main healer (Wynne came along though) and eventually marries Fergus Cousland. She reigns as Teyrna and occupies a seat in the Landsmeet. Myrna Tabris is the Hero of the Alienage and became Bann of the Alienage. Eluned Mahariel is Dalish ambassador at Queen Anora’s court. She later becomes Arlessa of Denerim, Chancellor and Queen Consort. Livia Aeducan becomes Livia Cadash after  being exiled and becomes a trader at Skyhold. Astya Brosca becomes King Bhelen’s sister in law and thus moves up from Duster to one of Orzammar’s highly sought marriage prospects. She rejects them all and stays with Leske. Unmarried. It’s quite the scandal!

17) What did you name your pets? (mabari, summoned animals, mounts, etc)

Rhia’s mabari is named Gorion and Desideria’s mabari is called Styx. Drusilla Trevelyan has a black war horse, a mare named Ruffian. 

18) Have you installed any mods?

Way too many.

19) Did your Warden want to become a Grey Warden?

Absolutely not.

20) Hawke’s personality?

Mainly blue and red with a dash of Purple. Desideria 

21) Did you make matching armor for your companions in Inquisition?

No.

22) If your character(s) could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change?

Rhia: Get out of bed sooner that night at Highever. Gorion had been barking for a while. She may have been able to save Oriana and Oren then.

Desideria: Save her mother in time. Distract that ogre to save Bethany.

Drusilla: Talk to Solas after the loss of the orb

23) Do you have any headcanons about your character(s) that go against canon?

Way too many to list them all!

24) Are any of your character(s) based on someone?

Not really, no. Though I drew a lot of inspiration from Empress Elisabeth of Austria for Rhia.

25) Who did you leave in the Fade?

Stroud bc Loghain is topside leading the siege with Cullen and Alistair is Warden Constable at the Vigil.

26) Favourite mount?

I don’t use them a lot but THE PURPLE NUG!

[aly-the-writer]

So, the other day @hoehoehoelt and I got to discussing what would happen if Adair left Clan Lavellan to join Hal on his adventures around Thedas prior to the Conclave. As I couldn’t get the idea of poor Adair being subjected to at least a few of Hal’s friends I wrote this.

Everything’s under the cut and this turned out a bit longer than I was originally planning for. (A little less crazy though.)

Haleir glanced back to Adair, it’d been a long road from where their clan had been camped and while he was used to traveling on his own without aravels and halla he knew that the first few months of doing so could be rough.

Not that Adair had complained at all, not that Adair ever complained. He hadn’t expected it either, the younger elf thought Taralyn was reasonable. That and he suspected there was some resentment towards him from Adair’s part -

Sabrae needs mages, he’d told the Keeper irritably as he paced. Their First abdicated years ago and Marethari never had a Second. Send him to them!

Haleir, the woman’s unending patience always made her sound amused when he was frustrated into irritation by something, Eight years ago you made the choice to become a Wanderer, and refused that exact same position. Why would I allow you to make your own decision and not Adair?

In the end the best he’d managed to do was convince her to make Adair wait on the vows. He would take Adair out into the world and show him what becoming one of Dirthamen’s Keepers meant and hopefully convince him that this was not the best path for the healer. Adair deserved a family, even if it was away from Clan Lavellan and among one of the others.

After weaving his way through the crowds he finally spotted what he was looking for – a little tavern with a sign carved like a swan sitting in a knight’s helmet.

They needed somewhere relatively safe to stay while Adair adjusted to living in the shemlen cities instead of just passing through them. This place was where he inevitably returned to himself and he trusted that most those there would keep Adair out of trouble – they owed Hal that much.

“So, Adair, ready to have an adventure?” he asked cheerfully as his footsteps carried him up the familiar route.

He hadn’t actually planned on coming west again this trip, he’d intended to travel east – to Kirkwall – and lend his aid to Merrill and help the scattering Kirkwall mages hide or get safely aboard ships to the city Vigil’s Keep in Ferelden. He wasn’t going to throw himself into that mess with Adair at his heels though.

Which meant his arrival at this tavern today would be entirely unexpected, really he wasn’t sure who was around – though he could hear that it was quite noisy inside.

Adair glanced at him to the door that he had his hand on and back again, eyes widening a little, “Hal, I don’t think this is a good ide-UH!”

He’d taken a step back to try and leave but Hal had grabbed him by the shoulder and practically tossed him through the door ahead of him, leaving Adair staggering to keep on his feet as Hal walked in after, a grin on his face.

“HAL! Fight me!” a human with brown hair and purple eyes called out as soon as he saw him. He was tall enough, and staggering a little, his lip already busted and some poor idiot who’d already taken up the challenge already groaned with his head on the table, and a bag of ice on his skull.

“What’d I ever do to you, Trevelyan? Get Cadash to kick your ass,” he informed the noisy shemlen, pitching his voice to be heard over the ruckus as he directed Adair through the room towards a set of stairs in the back of the room.

“What? No! She’d win! Come on!”

Hal laughed but didn’t answer the human this time.

The woman behind the counter at the bar rolled her eyes and waved at him – a smile twitching on her lips before she went back to paying attention to her customers.

Once they were upstairs things were quieter, and he took a note of how tense Adair was as he dropped his hold on the other’s wrist. He’d not wanted to lose him in the business downstairs but he also knew he risked his hand if he kept it there too long.

“We need a safe place to sleep tonight,” Hal told him, slipping past on the narrow hall to another set of stairs, and then another until they reached the fourth floor of the building - the attic really – and he unlocked the door. “This is ‘home’. Make yourself comfortable.”

The room he led them in was small, but cozy, the ceiling slanting sharply with the roof but a window overlooked the city, a bit of the ocean visible as an inky darkness in the night visible from around the corner of another building. Sat on the windowsill looking outwards was a tiny carved wolf that looked identical to the statues found just outside the clan’s most frequent camps.

Hal lit a set of candles to light the room but didn’t bother with the small brazier shoved in the corner. It was meant for warmth more than light and the air was already plenty warm.

It was also clear that Hal was as familiar with his routine here as he was when he came sauntering back into the camp – always visiting the Keeper then Tara and then finally letting Adair hunt him down to check for injuries.

A table was piled with an assortment of books and bits of papers – all research regarding elven lore – and a map of this part of Thedas was hung on the wall above it, its labels written in Qunlat though the major cities had elvish translations written in Hal’s hand by their names.

A spare staff stood quietly in the corner where Hal dumped the one he had carried throughout the journey causing them both to rattle. Adair leaned his in the same place, but much more carefully.

A tidy cabinet stood with an arrangement of dried goods and tins. A few potions labeled in Hal’s shorthand elven stood neatly on its shelves.

A bag with an alchemy kit had been left on the floor just beneath the table. A surprise since he hadn’t though that the brown haired elf had paid any attention to the lessons in the less-magical aspects of healing. Then again with the injuries he had survived maybe Adair shouldn’t be so surprised that some measure of caution regarding having healing potions prepared had been engrained.

A bed that had far too many pillows and stray bits of silk and a fur or two on it was shoved in one corner. Hal had constructed a nest of things he liked the feel of rather than assembling any sort of proper bedding. But, not too surprising considering the number of times he remembered having listened to Taralyn and Hal bicker over Hal not neatening his bed while Hal still lived among the Dalish.

A chest sat at its foot on top of which Hal dropped his backpack before he began to strip off his outer jacket and boots and any of the armor he had actually bothered to put on. His hair came out of its pony tail.

Adair set his things down more neatly that Hal had, looking around. He’d known that there was more to the man than the haphazard behavior and elaborated stories but it was still a little surprising to walk into a place – a human building – and realize that this was where Hal had made himself a home. Was he intruding? He knew that Hal hadn’t wanted to bring him with but surely…

“You’ll have the bed,” Hal commented, “At least until we can get you a cot or something.”

“I’d be fine on the-”

“Complain and I’ll go oblige Trevelyan regarding that fight,” Hal grinned brightly, knowing he was blackmailing Adair. “And, no, I wouldn’t use magic to win.”

Adair shut his mouth and narrowed his gaze, irritated – on one hand he still wanted to disagree but on the other he knew how injury prone Haleir was and he really didn’t want to have to patch him up that night because he was being a pain in the ass.

“Fine,” he muttered.

“Good,” Hal grinned, getting his bed roll from off his pack and spreading it out beneath the window. “Toss me one of those pillows, I’m tired so I know you must be exhausted. If you wake up before me the red head at the bar will feed you. She’s a friend.”

He stifled a yawn as he settled down. “Good night, lethallin.”

Adair nodded before sitting down on the bed. He’d known about Hal’s adventures, knew about this place – The Knightly Goose – from them, though he hadn’t really believed that the tavern full of trouble makers actually existed.

It was a lot to process…it’d been a very long trip and Hal was right, he was exhausted even if the trip had been far quieter than he expected a journey with Hal to be (no one had gotten stabbed yet). Sleep sounded good.

Neither of the elves were first to rise naturally, instead a thunderous knocking on the door demanded they wake.

“Fen’Harel take you,” Haleir growled, rolling to his feet, at some point he’d abandoned his shirt during the night, and throwing the door open. His scowl and posture indicating he was ready to fight.

“I was rather hoping that you would,” the voice had a warm Antivan accent and a grin pulled at his lips. “Or I could take you – I’m really not picky, though I do prefer to leaves the wolves and semi-demonic gods outside the bedroom?”

Adair stared blankly at them, not quite processing what was going on. His heart was pounding in his chest but he was certain they weren’t under attack though the unfamiliar surroundings were still causing him to feel on edge. His brain still caught in the dregs of sleep.

“Stop glaring, Hal, I brought breakfast,” a basket was proffered by way of apology. “And Irina promised to send up some coffee.”

The bribes seemed to do the trick as the older elf huffed a laugh and stepped aside, letting the shemlen into the room as he turned his back to go to the chest and find a fresh shirt.

The human was dark skinned, his smile faded a little as he caught sight of Adair messy haired and tangled up in Hal’s bed – before his eyes found the sleeping roll by the window and he relaxed a little.

“How’d you even find out? I was going to look for you today once I had him settled in helping Irina or something,” Hal asked, voice muffled by the fabric over his head.

“Trevelyan said that he’d been so drunk he thought he saw you and a ghost girlfriend last night. He’s a little too keen to challenge anyone within arms-reach but he’s not generally prone to hallucinations. Except for when you decide Templars don’t particularly scare you again.”

“So every other day?” Hal supplied, earning himself a grin from the stranger and a glare from Adair.

The stranger set the basket on one of the chairs by the table to carefully move the stacks of books, shifting them so he had space to unpack the bounty he’d brought.

He glanced over to Adair who was looking between the two of them, brows knitted together.

“The kid isn’t one of your lovers right?”

“What? No. Definitely not,” Hal’s emphatic reply was mixed with an expression border-lining on horrified. “And don’t you go flirting with him either.”

That got a crinkled nose, “He’s a bit young for me, mi sol.”

Hal snorted before looking to Adair, “This is Laurencio Altimari. Ignore him. He brings food and trouble.”

“Now that’s just rude,” the man tsked, but he was smiling anyways. The same sort of familiarity between them that Hal had with other members of Clan Lavellan.

“This is Adair, he’s basically my brother. No, you can’t take him to a brothel, and no getting him stabbed. I told the Keeper I’d look after him. I believe that means I’m to return him in one piece.”

“I can look after myself,” Adair frowned at Hal. He’d traveled outside the Clan before. Not like this and it was to Tevinter but he had and Fen’Harel had followed him right home to the people he loved.

“Is he a scary priest like you?” Laurencio asked, drawing a knife seemingly from nowhere and beginning to cut an apple from the basket apart. He offered Hal a slice on his blade which the elf took easily with his fingers as he passed by, headed towards the door again.

“I am not a scary priest,” Hal informed him at the same time Adair frowned, “He knows?”

Part of being one of Dirthamen’s Chosen was that you had to pose as an exile to the outside world. No one should know that Hal was even in contact with his people let alone what he was.

Not that Hal answered him – like most questions that Hal didn’t want to answer he pretended not to hear, which might have been slightly better than the alternative which usually involved him making up something ridiculous.

“I just want to know if he’s going to yell at creepy five-legged elvish monsters to make them listen to him too. As you have yet to surpass that stunt in pure stupidity as of yet.”

“Only where you’ve been able to see,” Hal flashed a smirk.

“…five legged monster…” Adair repeated before his eyes widened and he turned on Hal, “The Varterral story wasn’t you exaggerating. Are you insane?”

Hal snorted before he answered the door at the soft knock, apple shoved in his mouth so he had a reason not to answer. And accept the tray from the maid there, passing her a piece of silver for her trouble.

“If you’re the Adair I think you are, you grew up with him. Why do you have to ask if he’s insane?” Altimari sounded amused. He had also gone to the cabinet in the corner to take out three plates and a tin.

Adair glanced at him and sighed, not answering the human but he was right enough. It probably shouldn’t have been unexpected with Hal, though it begged a question how many of the impossible stories that Hal had told him over the years weren’t so impossible.

The tin he passed to Hal as the elf settled down while Altimari filled the plates with fresh fruit, sausage and little warm rolls of some kind filled with egg and cheese. He handed Adair his first and then followed it with one of the mugs now filled with the dark liquid from the container that had been sent up.

Hal yawned a bit and opened the tin to dump a measure of sugar into his mug.

“I suppose there’s no reason to ask what happened to Kirkwall,” the human sounded amused, as he settled down cross legged on the floor. Hal moved to sit next to him, his knee brushing the other man’s.

“You mean besides the Champion?” Hal drawled.

It was a common joke in the other Marcher states – blame anything that happened in or around Kirkwall on the infamous Garrett Hawke. Though it was actually accurate given the events that had started the mage troubles.

Adair had fixed him with a sharp look, “You were going to get involved with the Mage Rebellion, weren’t you?”

Hal’s shrug wasn’t answer enough and he glared, exasperation washing away any trace of his earlier sleepiness. Did that idiot really have no idea how to stay in one piece? How had he even managed to survive all this time on his own?

“I’m thinking with another mage we can handle that Tevinter treasure,” Hal commented to the human instead.

“The one with the demon that Cadash said that if we did she was going to kill us herself for being gigantic fools?”

“That’s not what she said.”

“There are young ears present, I am being responsible.”

That got a laugh, “Well that’s a first. Is that also why I’ve not been kissed properly? ‘Young eyes present’?”

“I’m nineteen,” Adair said – he wasn’t that young. Or innocent. And…‘kissed properly’? Was…

He stared at the human – really looked at him. An easy, deadly posture, sets of daggers that marked him out as some kind of rogue, light armor and a belt that looked like it might contain potions but most likely those vials were poisons not healing drafts. He was handsome enough, could see what Hal would be interested in but…

“Are you two?” he could feel heat rising in his ears and cheeks – not quite certain.

“Are we?” the human tilted his head at Hal. “Or is it just a sex thing?”

“I thought there were feelings – you’re calling me your sol again. That usually means feelings, right? Or is that a friend thing now?”

“What about that pirate? The Qunari elf?”

“She stabbed me.”

“Since one has that been a turn off for you?” he raised a brow, a smirk playing on his lips, “Because last I checked when I tried it we ended up in bed.”

Hal coughed, and looked away, his ears gone bright red now. He never claimed to have good tastes. Considering his list of recent partners there was maybe one or two that hadn’t actively tried to kill him or gotten him nearly killed.

Adair was definitely doing his best to pretend he couldn’t hear, his eyes averted away from the pair.

“You didn’t actually stab me though,” Hal grumbled. “You just have trust issues.”

“I do recall that I ended up impaling you in the end that night, though.”

Hal laughed – the terrible innuendo still making him blush but he was losing the awkwardness that had flared up moments before – and gently elbowed the other man’s arm in protest.

“So, that map you found checked out. Had my brother translate it for me - there’s definitely a demon guardian though.”

“We’ll have to wait for Cadash or bring la chevalier with us.”

“Cadash - she’s more fun.”

“You mean she doesn’t stop you when you’re about to be a lunatic,” the human’s expression was a long-suffering one that nearly mirrored Adair’s.

“Hmm....same thing.”

Adair sucked in a deep breath – that’s it.

Hal was insane.

He was going to die somehow because there was no way that he was even half as durable and how in Mythal’s name was Hal still alive? Also, he might need a spell to remove memories because knowing this much about Hal’s personal life was…scarring.

He was beginning to remember why Taralyn had been his favorite of the twins growing up.

INTRODUCING: ALL SIX OF GLITZ AND LIZ’S CURRENT UNNECESSARILY COMPLEX INQUISITORS!

Avexis: The True Inquisitor

Literally the little elf girl who was probably a Tevinter slave judging by her name until she went to the Circle in Orlais? that Cassandra saved from blood mages and also three dragons when she was ten years old, except instead of becoming tranquil (U SUCK BIOWARE) she ran away from the circle, joined the Dalish, learned how to use a greatsword to disguise the fact that she was a mage, and accidentally wound up as the Inquisitor. Glitz wrote more about it here.

She uses two-handed swords, exclusively, and trains as a champion. She dates Solas, and goes underground and uses magic again after he cuts her arm off along with the Anchor. We literally can’t imagine an Inquisitor with a better character arc or more important than her oops. Here’s a gorgeous commission of her.

Inspired by her fighting style, Varric calls her “Dragon.” He does not realize the irony of this until much later.

Mira Lavellan: Little Sister

Our first Inquisitor, Mira (short for Mi’revas, “Blade of Freedom” in Elvish) is a clever but naive young elf who does a surprisingly good job of stepping up to the task of being the Inquisitor. She’s not perfect, but she does date Josephine and it’s adorable. She’s a rift-mage and enjoys zapping bad guys.

Varric calls her “Brainy,” to contrast with Tara.

Tara Lavellan: Bad Decisions Daughter

Mira’s older sister. Tara (short for Tarasyl, “Sky” in Elvish) isn’t a bad person, but tends to regret some of the things she does as Inquisitor, and is probably too emotional about some things to be good at the job. Her main goals are to protect her sister and survive. She dated Solas (he found her a castle with her name on it!), but broke up with him before the end of the main game, and by the end of Trespasser feels so much responsibility for what he’s done that she decides to hunt him without holding back. She’s a reaver with a big sword.

Varric calls her “Muscles.” It’s in direct contrast with her sister’s nickname.

Pan Adaar: Extended Pegging Joke

Her full name is Nehrappan, which means "Belt”, and which we’re saying is Qunari slang for a strap-on. Her Tal-Vashoth parents had a weird sense of humor. Thankfully, she inherited it. She’s pansexual (the jokes don’t stop), and tends to be gentle and kind, but is never too far from a sarcastic quip. She’s a mage who prefers cold magic and necromancy, though more of her identity is invested in being Tal-Vashoth, and she’s dating Sera. (With that name, how could she not?)

After learning the meaning of her name, Varric calls her “Peggy.”

Rowan Trevelyan: Andrastian Bambi

Our true believer in Andraste, an optimist, an idealist, and a surprisingly competent Inquisitor. Sometimes prefers they pronouns. His ideals are tested by his work as Inquisitor, but he believes in the good the Inquisition can do, and does not disband it at the end of Trespasser. A total sweetheart, even a hint of Dorian’s flirting will have him swooning at a moment’s notice. They have the sweetest romance of all. He trains as a tempest archer just because it looks fun.

Varric calls him “Bambi.” Disney exists in Inquisition now because we said so, just so we can call him this.

Ren Trevelyan: Goth Mage Badass

Rowan’s cousin, a lightning/fire mage trained like a knight-enchanter and damn proud of her ability. She’s goth and very unafraid to show the world exactly what she can do. She excels at charming tasks such as finding skull statues, looking through them, and collecting creepy whispering shards to extend her own power. When she isn’t making people afraid of her, she’s busy sweeping Josephine off her feet. 

Varric calls her “Bubblegum.” Ren has never worn pink in her life. Also, bubblegum exists now, see Bambi. They are each other’s anachronistic gay cousins.

And, Coming Soon To A Tapestry Near You: A Cadash to Sweep Dorian Off His Feet? We’ll see!

[empresstress13]

1-4 for any of your inquisitions?

I’m trying for all my Inquisitors! Sooo: Lilith, Esther, Eve, Grace, Innanis, Tara, Svetlana, Adhlea, Revasulahn... (I lied before, apparently I have 9) . . . so I’ll do 4 for each question! (I ran out of steam; sorry! I did answer Lilith for each!)

1) What techniques or spells do they tend to use a lot?

Lilith Trevelyan: Lilith started mainly with Storm spells and some fire; she specialized in Rift magic after!

Esther Trevelyan: Esther is not very aggressive by nature; DAI may not let me use healing magic BUT I do believe she was a healer originally. She also used lots of Spirit magic (she would have been heavily Creation/ Spirit in DAO I think), however she does end up training as a knight enchanter.

Grace Trevelyan: Duel wield Assassin! Likes to be sneaky and can be very mean. Lots of backstabbing and underhanded shit. Also enjoys poisons. . . (Esther does not approve)

Innanis Adaar: Winter and Storm! Then she gets interested in Necromancy. . . .just to creep out her one girlfriend. XD

2) What is their preferred weapon?

Lilith Trevelyan: Staff!  

Eve Trevelyan: Mace & Shield is preferred.

Svetlana Cadash: Two handed weapons! Partial to BIG swords. :) 

Adhlea Lavellan: Recurve Bow!

3) Do they personally take care of their weapon and equipment if they don’t have to?

Lilith Trevelyan: Yes, she is cautious by nature and prefers to be the one taking care of her vital equipment. Also, she takes comfort in detailed handwork.

Innanis Adaar: Innanis likes luxury generally speaking, but as a former merc she’s also very particular about her equipment and weapons. 

Tara Adaar: She’ll allow other’s to handle general equipment, but does always take personal care of her weapons.

Adhlea Lavellan: Yes, and she’s a bit weirded out by the idea she wouldn’t be the one to do so! 

4) What is their favored mount (and why)? Do they like riding at all or do they prefer another mode of transport?

Lilith Trevelyan: Lilith was not a skilled rider before the Inquisition; she does come from a noble family, but was a mage from a cadet branch of the Trevelyan house. . .she is very interested by nature and travel but woodcraft and animal handling does not come naturally to her. She likes the various mounts, but will never be an excellent rider. Actually though, she really does enjoying walk and hiking through Thedas even with her natural clumsiness. 

Tara Adaar: Asaarash

Svetlana Cadash: Bog Unicorn followed closely by Draconlisk. She’s amused by the looks she gets on these mounts. If she could have she would have ridden the Bog Unicorn into Halamshiral for the Exalted Council. . . but recognizes that may have been poking the bear a bit too much.

Revasulahn Lavellan: Greater Frostback Elk! 

Thanks for the ask! ♥

15. Beach or forest: have y'all seen those posts with all the weird fish that live at the bottom of the ocean??? I’m staying on land where I can guarantee that all of my appendages remain visible and attached. (Also the noises of forests are so calming and I love being around plants and trees and stuff)

21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little to hot: my school is a literal ice box so by now I’ve been desensitized to cold. Plus, being hot also makes you all sweaty and icky. You can always just pile on more blankets and sweaters if you’re cold!

22. If you could have a superpower, what would it be: healing powers of some sort because there’s no way they could backfire in some sort of Carrie-esque incident. Plus I could help a ton of people.

29. YouTube or Netflix: Netflix!

30. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: Harry Potter for sure!!!

31. When you feel accomplished: when I create something! It doesn’t have to be anything big but to me, the feeling that you’ve made something that no one else can exactly replicate is the best feeling in the world

32. Star Wars or Star Trek: I haven’t actually seen Star Trek!! But I love Star Wars!

33. Paperback books or Hardback books: hardback because I’m so clumsy and messy that all my poor paperbacks get beaten within an inch of their poor, rip-able lives within a month of having them. (yes, i’m a monster. rip.)

As long as it includes some form of leaf, it’s a salad. There are no rules. Fruit on some leaves? Salad. Vegetables on lettuce? Salad. Chicken on kale? Motherfckin salad. So you could get all the nutrients you need and have plenty of diversity in your meals! Yes, I have thought about this a bit too much.

45. What instrument would you like to learn: I play the cello already but I’d love to learn piano!

46. Can you art: sort of? I can draw okay but it’s nothing awesome

47. What’s a practical joke you wish you could pull, but haven’t: I’m too paranoid of hurting someone’s feelings to prank anyone lol

48. What is one social norm you could do away with: oooooohhhh boooooyyyy. i could write a few dozen essays about this one but a big one is probably heteronormativity and I’ll leave it at that.

OC dance meme

How does your OC Dance? Let’s find out. I was tagged by @queen-of-ferelden Sounds like fun!

Sophia Cousland:

Being the daughter of nobility, Sophia started taking dance lessons early in life. While she complained non-stop about it, she secretly loved it.

Gillan Mahariel:

I imagine Gillan’s response to dancing with Alistair goes exactly the same way that *SPOILER ALERT FOR STRANGER THINGS SEASON TWO* Mike and Eleven talked about dancing. “Want to dance?” “I don’t know how!” “Me neither. Wanna figure it out together?”

Tara Tabris:

Yeah, Tara would probably only dance if she was shit-faced drunk.

Mari Hawke:

She ain’t got the moves or the confidence. But she can sway awkwardly to the beat.

Evelyn Lavellan:

The first time she ever truly danced was at the Winter Palace. And her dance with Cullen was something to remember.

Holli Trevelyan:

Just like Holli. She’d dance the right dance, but she’d do something eccentric and unorthodox to make it fresh and annoy the hell out of her parents.

Jodi Cadash:

She’s a dwarf. What did you expect?

Let’s see... I dunno if you guys have already been tagged but I’ll nominate.... @elevanetheirin @gugle1980 @amanda-digs-okay if they want!
