okay so i went to sleep too early and now im wide awake at 2 am what this means is that i have free time in this limbo of existence that is 2 - 5 am. i could write out that sparring scene that ive been thinking of ever since i let my alt pick up red mage. as practice. because i suck at action scenes. i could also rewrite a different scene that im unhappy with since i wrote it a few months ago and ive changed how i write some of these characters. might just turn on my switch.

#in theory i could also study but like. no #personal #the red mage thing #basically i wanted val to have a dps class #bc hes originally a scholar but i SUCK at scholar and i mean to make him a sage at lv70 but obviously. he isnt there yet #hes a lv58 scholar for reference #so i went through all lf the classes in my head like 'what would fit him'#because hes an au version of a pre-existing character?? he has a personality and while his original self is garlean & incapable of magic.#viera valerian isnt.#i thought about gunbreaker but thats a tank class and i am not tanking thok ast thok i do not have a death wish #(nothing personal towards tanks i just panic doing things ive never done before. like tanking most trials.)#(i have 2 tanking classes at 90 on my main character)#reaper came up bc it is a garlean thing. you get taught reaper by a garlean! ...but thats just. not him #i dont think hes opposed to it i just think he very much Does Not Trust the voidsent. (also hes scared but sshhh)#i thought about unlocking summoner but that?? also felt wrong????#the other 2 healer classes. despite his canon version being a scientist whos really into healing items specifically. nope #black mage is one of my least favorite classes so that was an immediate no #nothing suits him!! it drove me insane but then. red mage.#it just?? made sense???#i think hed get along with x'rhun i think the combo black & white magic makes so much more sense than picking one (for him)#i also think he looks good in red (matches with his eyes <3)#and then i had sparring thoughts. because back when i thought about making him gnb i had those thoughts #i have those thoughts the moment i see anything sword-shaped. it always ends with people kissing. its my specialty #and thennn i remembered the Tip of a Sword at Another's Throat image #and immediately teleported to ul'dah to pick up rdm. like a normal person #anywya that ramble took 20 minutes #also the uh. other scene. is valerian's reunion with his husband. didndt feel emotional enough for all the shit they went through #its like. he spends the better part of their marriage literally losing it. corruption arc dragged out over multiple decades.#and then he just leaves. he just walks away and they dont talk for 3 years and at some point they both think the other to be dead #thats not. thats a lot to fix. and i touched on it a LITTLE in scenes set after this. the way they have to rebuild trust. but ough

yall ever read da meta and know that op thought they were cooking. but the post is like this

#context? nuance? citations?#''it’s literally [aveline] or cullen at his most brainwashed & violent.'' sb needs to replay act iii and actually talk to cullen.#''aveline can be really quite awful to a red hawke and will throw them to the ground and beat them at 100% rivalry.''#<- yeah it's almost like aveline was discussing her ptsd about ostagar only for an aggressive hawke to repeatedly call her a coward. LOL?#aveline is not one of my preferred party members by a long shot nor do i think she's an example of kristjanson's best work #(obviously that's reserved for carver)#but by far the most annoying thing abt people who talk abt da2 is when they remove hawke's culpability in anything/everything they do.#aveline's criticism of hawke is fair. hawke IS a highwayman. they spearheaded their way in kirkwall either smuggling or killing for coin.#the bulk of their wealth is from glorified grave robbing.#and the comforts related to their estate are a direct result of inherited nobility.#they amass power and money and act with impunity to the point where it's an open secret if hawke is a mage. no one can touch them.#like if you're going to analyze a character at least make sure your handle on the material is solid.#thomas.txt #edit to add: it's always super fascinating to see people harp about aveline slutshaming isabela and say nothing about anders.#like hm! i wonder what that's about

female hawke should have been buffer

#sophie.txt #was thinking about the disparity btwn f!hawke and m!hawke's voices #the VA for f!hawke is great but she's not goofy enough. she sounds too delicate and feminine #i know that hawke can have a range of personalities with the red blue purple thing #but m!hawke's delivery is like. hes kinda a dingus regardless #f!hawke should have had that energy too #and they should have made her just as big as m!hawke #yes even if shes a mage #if mage m!hawke gets to still have big beefy muscles then f!hawke should too #but as we know. bioware are cowards when it comes to this sort of thing #alas #dragon age #da2 #hawke #also. tbh. hawke shouldn't have been voiced in the first place. but ive done that rant before

Was playing da2 act 1 recently and there's ambient dialogue from a mage in the gallows along the lines of "you're from Ferelden. Do you know anything about the circle there? I've heard it's much better than here." And having heard some of the stuff from Anders, like the year in solitary, and having played awakening and seen the way the templates acted toward him, and having played the mage origin...... Imagine calling that better. Imagine that being better and more relaxed than what the mages in the gallows deal with. And this is act 1! Meredith isn't even off her shit on red lyrium yet! And it's still that fucking bad in the gallows

#dragon age #da2 #dao #And that's not even touching the thing with Karl - making a harrowed mage and senior enchanter tranquil out of spite? As punishment?#It's a massive threat to every mage in the gallows - you will never be out of danger. The rules don't apply to the Templars #They may do whatever they want to you and we will not stop them. There are rules against it? Well there are rules against making harrowed #Mages tranquil and we didn't give a shit about them. We will not help you. There is no recourse for you. Not now not ever #And if you make too much of a fuss then we'll make you tranquil too. And you know what happens to them #And this is all before the red lyrium idol

kicking my feet like a schoolgirl. wouldn't it be fucked up if the Architect found the HoF when they went to the deep roads on their Calling. wouldn't it be fucked up if they fought their way as deep as they could go until they're too blighted and injured to go on and the Architect picked them up on the verge of death and kept them alive and experimented on them with darkspawn & archdemon & his own blood until they're corrupted and immortal like him

#dragon age #dragon age awakening #the architect #hero of ferelden #wouldn't it be fucked up if they were also a mage so now you have a mad corrupted blighted hero with obscene amounts of power #i see the architect in his lab with amell laid out on the table using blood magic to keep the lungs and heart pumping #slooowly taking some of their blood and replacing it with his own (amells blood will be used to 'free' more darkspawn)#so very carefully like he's sewing with spider silk #their skin has gone grey and mottled. red tendrils snaking out from the mouth where the skin has split from old injuries #tattoo black #nails cracked and jagged #and they JOLT in place. then LURCH forward. and twitch again. the architect pulls them to a standing position #their voice dry and cracked they ask 'where...'#'the Deep Roads' 'who...' 'you are the Commander. I am the Architect.' 'when...' '[years later]'#and the amell-thing coughs some blood from its lungs. sloowly raises an arm. and an explosion of magic sends the architect flying

"To be a vessel of destiny's grand design — there is no greater path."

Template from @redspringstudio. I also included the full drawing of Luneth in her priestess gown below:

She kind of looks more princess than priestess, but I like it!

Other MC Character Lore:

Thick as Thieves (Alon the Stray Hound)

#touchstarved #touchstarved game #red spring studio #touchstarved oc #luneth the unnamed #luneth the reluctant unnamed #myoc #my oc #my original character #original character #character lore #my art #myart #the title is meant to play on “morning mist” like in those foggy mornings #it also ties to luneth's connection to sunrises. she likes watching them but also I like to think of her journey as the start of a new day.#she was betrayed by the visiting mage at sunset. she fell when the sun did.#she will rise with the new dawn where others did not survive the night.#oh and for her oracle gown I tried to make it resemble her bandages #kind of representing how the temple suppresses her like she covers up her curse #and also showing how during her time at the temple she is defined by her curse #luneth being represented by the colour blue wreathed in the purple of the temple #she does keep a few things in her main story outfit like the headpiece and her earrings but I guess they're worn in a looser fashion #her hair is down and she wears more flowy fabrics. I kind of want it to be like her slowly shedding her restraints as she moves on.#side note: her bandages kind of resemble gloves here #actually her hair style reminds me of some from period romances #this kind of just makes me want to put her in a regency outfit #an idea for the future

Everhood is a very funky game. Wish we'd get more from the characters though.

#everhood #red #purple mage #green mage #brown mage #trying to no-hit the incinerator is one of the worst things I have done #curse you devs

For Day Three of Snake Boi Callum Week: Magic / Mirrors Summary: Callum and Kpp'Ar have a conversation after he's released from the coin. Word Count: 2k

ORPHEUS: How will you remember? EURYDICE: That I love you? ORPHEUS: Yes. EURYDICE: That’s easy. I can’t help it.

—Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl

The initial confusion—the hazy gold imprisonment and bone-deep ache that had been equally familiar in death as it had been in life, the harrowing first few coughs as his lungs learned to work again, hand grasping for a cane that wasn’t there—had faded overall quickly, mostly because too much of his circumstances didn’t make sense.

The walls around him had been a shimmering white and purple, unlike anything he’d ever read of in the Pentarchy, loud elven voices echoing off of walls that didn’t seem to be able to make an echo arguing over something that didn’t make any sense.

Only one thing truly stuck, in the aftermath: a young man looking over him with a shadowed face, swoopy hair, trimmings of a High Mage tunic fluttering round his knees, and the burst of emotion brought forth at the reality that Viren was here, that Viren had both trapped and freed him, and that Kpp’Ar still—

Throat hoarse, and lips cracking from disuse, parted to form his name. “Viren?”

But the mage reared back in disgust (still not unlike his protegé), throwing a younger, tanner face into the light, a fresh white lock of hair falling over glinting green—not gray—eyes.

“I am not Viren,” he said tersely, looking vaguely familiar for a different reason, hands shaky as he bent down to help Kpp’Ar up into a sitting position. He handed him a crystalline cup of water and then rose unsteadily to his feet.

#tdp kpp'ar #kpp'ar #high mage club #snake boi callum week #fic: i slithered here from eden #fic: teach me how to name the bigger light #if you want to avoid spoilers for said fic come back to this chapter once we've reached like. ch10 #my fic #fic #tdp #the dragon prince #it was just red #i don't love how this came out but i think that's bc i see kpp'ar as a fundamentally #not super emotionally aware person and this conversation ESP from his pov would #have a lot of conflicting emotions but #i did my best #and will probably modify / improve things when i get to write this from callum's pov next time around lmao #cause he's not playing Massive amounts of catch up

✦ R E D M A G E

Balance. The heart of red magic. She has always naturally leaned too far towards the black. Red magic offered her equilibrium at a time she desperately needed it, a backdoor to the white magic that had previously eluded her. It is with a rapier in hand, not a staff, that she feels the most clear-headed, the most grounded. The best version of herself. —level 90 compendium
