This post is soooo real and the decent dlc was a mistake on biowares part because what do you MEAN the dwarves use the fossilized blood of their creator-gods to write their histories with and. What do you MEAN there's a lost culture/religious sect of dwarves in the deep roads so old and isolated that they don't even speak the same language, and have dedicated their lives to the protection of said creator-gods.

And they just never bring this shit up again.

let it also be said that I love the Mahariel + Lavellan worldstate. It's so haunted. You are Dalish, you are not a part of human culture, but by happenstance you're dragged into it and to the forefront of hell to save a world that hates and fears your people. You have no choice. You can never return to your home, to the familiar, to anything you've ever known. You will be an echo; Mahariel echoing Garahel, Lavellan echoing Mahariel. You're so proud of your Dalish heritage, but your identity doesn't matter at all. Doomed to be a martyr for a people that do not respect you and cannot understand you, while your clan mourns, lamenting that they cannot bury you, no life-tree to stand as your memory. You're a hero. You're already dead. You died the moment you left your clan.

with twitter’s situation being what it is I’m a bit uncertain about what the future holds for my account there (which had about 28k followers that I painstakingly gathered over the course of many many years. that’s a lot of audience to potentially lose for someone who relies entirely on their socials for their job).

so here’s a bit of self promo 😭 I’m Marty, an italian lesbian living in the UK. You might’ve seen some of my stuff around. I make gay comics, TTRPG illos, and more often than not I’m available for commissions (not now but soon enough I’ll have to reopen again 💝)

I’ve been too busy with work but I want to go back to posting more when I can!! If you’ve ever enjoyed anything I make, it would mean the world to me if you could boost this.

Thank you so much for your support over the years and let’s keep going!! 💜

I can't believe that I had to learn that Rook was in the Fade for weeks in a group chat of all things. This is the kind of information that should be *stated* in game for all characters regardless of who you decide to romance - not kept behind a smooching Bellara paywall.

[hands on hips] We'll bang, okay?

i really want them to meet and team up again after the events of The Missing

Thinking very hard about Lucanis' responses when you pick the nonbinary/trans dialogue option after flirting with him during The Coffee Scene (after Illario skedaddles).

MUCH to think about if we linger on this line. Anyway,

The way he goes "Hmm. Perhaps it's closer than I thought." is such a cheesy flirt. Even the table of NPC's behind them is looking over going "bruh". Love it. 10/10 thank you

Notes: The NPC animations don't seem to always align this way. It just happened by chance, the same way Lucanis' poor coffee mug clipped into his arm. I've played the game entirely twice, so right now I'm just messing around with mods. That is why they have those armors equipped so early on in the story.

Bonus: I'll always giggle at the choco-chico thing.

Vampire sugar daddy

Silver Fox. He’s a vampire and he’s like 150 years old at least, maybe older, he won’t tell you his actual age, he’s very cheeky about it. But he isn’t like young man vampire, he’s a silver fox, with greying hair and sturdy build. Was lonely and drunk one night, the lowest he had ever felt, when he went searching for a sugar baby and found you. He was sober by the time you two went on your first date, and he wanted to call everything off, but you needed the money. It was your first time, too. And you were already nervous, but you’d feel worse if you took the sad old man’s money without even talking to him for the agreed upon time. So he had his first “date” with you, and found himself enjoying your company. A lot. So he continued to book time with you. Over the course of several ‘dates,’ he found himself falling for you. He cares about you. A lot. So much so that he couldn’t help asking about, y’know… the whole sugar baby business. He worries about you, what kind of people you’re associating with. To his surprise, you tell him that you actually never took another client besides him, and you mostly worked “normal” socially acceptable jobs, only ever accepting offers from him. But it takes him a year to work up the courage to ask you out for real, no payment necessary. And you agree. Of course, by that time you knew he was a vampire. But what ate at you was that he never talked about turning you to a vampire, and anytime the topic of changing comes up, he dodges the topic. He eventually reveals to you that he wants to wait before turning you. He had been alone for centuries before you, he didn’t want to curse you with the same soul crushing loneliness he faced if you two were to split. If he were to truly be with you forever, he wants to make sure that you are ready for it, too. And, admittedly… he wants to wait until you were older. You were at least 21 when the two of you met, but he passes for middle aged. He selfishly doesn’t want to be older man with younger partner forever… You two can have sex before marriage if you want, but no biting!!!

I can't stop thinking about the implications of the Black Emporium DLC in Inquisition.

Picture this: Kirkwall is a ruined mess. There's still occasional struggle in the streets on a large scale. Mages and Templars still fight a guerilla war. Law and order is fighting to keep control but it's a long uphill climb. Starkhaven might even be threatening a war with it. The famously veil-thin city now has to face the same horror the rest of Thedas has, the rifts in the veil. Kirkwall is still years away from stability.

Enter the Inquisitor. They've arrived. Maybe they're going to save us, one citizen says? But instead of going to the Viscount's Keep or bolstering a resistance, the Inquisitor looks a citizen in the eye and says; "Damn that sucks. Where is the best entrance to the sewers?"

And then they're never seen in the city again.

There was no hope of me documenting their infancy very well, but the quads age up (chaotically, without birthday cakes), so it's finally time for a proper introduction!

From left to right, top to bottom:

Kiran Clemens

Traits: Light Sleeper, Unstable

Personality: 2/8/9/3/6

Tarik Clemens

Traits: Absent-Minded, Excitable

Personality: 10/8/2/10/5

Farah Clemens

Traits: Absent-Minded, Loves the Heat

Personality: 2/5/6/9/7

Anil Clemens

Traits: Absent-Minded, Loves the Heat

Personality: 2/8/4/6/10

They're such a good mix of their parents! I couldn't have hoped for better with quads. It's hard to tell, but Tarik actually has Sydney's hazel eyes. Otherwise, they all have black hair and brown eyes.
