[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

everything in this that I explain is very simplified because cultural context would be a nightmare to explain but :3 you gave me DAI TSS AU infodumping permission. Time to regret it.

when you open Dragon Age: Inquisition to play, you’re given a character creation menu. Your gender, race (DnD inspired so species TECHNICALLY) and your weapon class. I wanted to follow this formula for the AU but alas I am not going to because it gives me much more creative freedom to actually make it up

Also if anyone knows this game and I got something wrong, I'm already sorry LMAO I'm not great at remembering details correctly

Roman and Remus are human nobles from Antiva. Their family owns a winery and contributes to the massive export in the international trading. They use a sword+shield and a mace+shield respectively, often training together. They were brought up to carry on delegating the trade for their family business but not everything goes exactly as their parents planned — both kids are gay. No big deal, right? I’m not too sure on Antivan’s views of gay people so I don’t have much of a say. But I do know that — if they were in the AU the same time the DA:I game occurs — they’d leave their family in order to go be a part of the Inquisition. Roman is the favorite child because Remus is a bit of a pariah (we love him tho) and that has caused only minor bad blood between the two. I think that Remus and Roman would get along surprisingly well during this time, to be honest. I also think, if they were to travel and be a part of the game’s story, they’d be incredible allies to have. Of course, Roman is a bit picky about certain things (he’s a noble boy, idk what else to say) and Remus definitely has a fascination with magic and necromancy but. oh well. Roman is fond of the smart elvhen scholar and Remus has a big ol crush on V.

Virgil would be a Dalish elf (nomad elf, an elf that tries to preserve old culture and tradition, doesn’t live in cities, trades, has a clan) and I think he’d be a mage. I don’t think he’d have a particularly strong role in his clan (not like the Keeper (the leader) or their First (second in command)) but maybe he’d learn some healing magic alongside whatever comes to him naturally. I think he’d find Storm magic particularly appealing (I’m not kidding it’s called storm magic he could strike people with lighting it’s badass). I think he’d have vallaslin (facial tattoos dedicated to any elvhen god — later revealed to have a different meaning than what he’d believe but he doesn’t know that) of the god Falon’Din (god of the dead + those who guide others to the afterlife). I think he’d handle the pain of the tattoos well and be quite proud of himself when it’s done. If he were to travel and be a part of the game’s story, I think he’d be a good man to have on your side, as he’s always thinking of things to do and how to protect yourself.

Or he’s a spirit. There’s a character in game named Cole; he’s a spirit of Compassion. Who’s to say Virgil couldn’t be the same? He was once a human (or elf, either work, the main two I see fitting him mainly) and he passed away; a spirit found him and took his form. Became him, in a way. Became Virgil and stayed the spirit. Virgil but he’s a spirit now. There are types of spirits in the game but none that directly fit him — sooooooooo I’ll be lazy and not give him a type :3 he’d be a rogue instead of a mage this time, with daggers that he uses to pop up, fight, and then disappear with. Not everyone in the Inquisition would trust him but Virgil would be very shifty in defense of himself so he wouldn’t mind. Remus and Logan would be fascinated by him though.

I’m so unsure on Patton. I want to make him a qunari (tall, grey-toned skin, follows a strict religious code unless a deserter, then just operates on one’s own as basically a fugitive) but I also want to make him a dwarf. problem with this is I know very little on either culture in game and am not very good at putting it all together through the various wikis I have read. Just know that either he’s very tall or very short and he uses a sword because it’s very convenient and he usually doesn’t like to fight. I can see him trying to be diplomatic and it not working. We love him though. This is literally the one I can’t decide; I gotta make a character for each race and play through to figure it out then decide.

Human Janus who is from Orlais (fancy rich people with their noses so high in the air they can’t see where they’re walking) and is an expert at figuring people out. He’s always drawn attention because he has a massive burn mark over the side of his face that makes people give him weird looks — it was from a childhood accident that healers couldn’t totally fix. He’s in a very rich and noble scholarly family. Yes, he’s met the twins. Lets say he bonded with one and not the other (Remus and Roman). He’s essentially a spymaster for his own family. He runs the diplomatic relations and the family endeavors and if anyone tries to come across his family lineage (trust me, there are some, his family isn’t the most well liked and Orlais is all about screwing others over). He’d join the Inquisition in the main storyline and claim that he “needed a challenge” but it was definitely for a change of scenery. He’d work with the Inquisition’s spymaster and maybe help his own family out from afar. (weirdly fond of the puffball... Patton—)

Then finally Logan. I view Logan as a Dalish elf who was taken from his clan as soon as he showed signs of magic. it wasn’t by his choice. He was sent to a magic school (called a Circle) where he had templars (cops) breathing down his neck to approve what he was studying. He hated it. That’s an understatement. When the mage rebellion happened and mages wanted their freedom to study what they want, Logan joined. He became an apostate and, while unable to return to his clan because of the distance, joined the Inquisition. He was always very good at all sorts of magic and stories and mythos so he was considered a scholar despite his background. I don’t think he’d have vallaslin — too young for it when he was taken. But I think he’d be like this other character Solas (Solas when I catch you Solas you fucking egg /neg /lh) except… better. He’d be considered a city elf by then but he never forgot his family. Just made a new one. I think he and elvhen Virgil would bond over their backgrounds and mutual understanding of one another and that would be the blossom of their friendship. I think he would be intrigued absolutely FASCINATED by spirit Virgil and how it all works and I think he’d be sympathetic and defend the fact he’s a spirit and not a demon. But ngl he wants to kiss the wine guy.

it is one in the am and i’m very sleepy and I’m going to send this now. You can tell I don't know much about qunari or dwarves and I need to play as them in more runs of the game. I’m so sorry it’s so long. I didn’t even talk about the relationship dynamics in depth or the appearances I have in mind or anything. its so long sorry. :3 teehee

— 👑

Bold of you to assume that I (A man who's an absolute S L U T for RPGs) would regret wanting to hear something as cool as fuck as this!!! /light hearted /positive The roles and lore sound S O fucking badass and it really matches each of them perfectly!!! (Vee would absolutely use Storm Magic let the Emo strike bitches with lightning also Jan having a burn mark on his face gives me Zuko vibes and I L O V E it)

The Sides Playing DND

Session Zero

Virgil's character is a teifling warlock named Drake Bloodshed

Patton's character is a (and No I'm not gonna say cleric because that's what everyone says) High Elf Druid named Thia Amastacia

Roman's character is a half elf bard named Ronald Namor

Remus's character is a half elf barbarian named Dong Thongbringer

Janus's character is a human commoner named Luis Brown who has terrible stats in everything except charisma which he's maxed out on

Logan's character is a human wizard named Argus Hillflinn

Thomas is the dm

The setting is a home brew world that Thomas created.

The game in general is pretty home brew and Thomas is very loose with the rules.

There's no money system because Thomas doesn't want to do math but due to Logan's insistence there is a simplified system to measure level of wealth so that there's a limit on what they can buy.

The characters level up based on Mike stones and character development

The main quest will be to seek out a legendary sword that is said to have the power to kill any creature

I might add more later. Stay tuned for Session One.

It took me a long time to paint this, and a while longer after that to convince myself this is good enough to post dskjgjskdf but !!! here’s the main dnd au crew! Artificer, cleric, witch and bard! Now I just need to draw Deceit and Remus...

[the-ghost-of-pastels]

You guys remember my guardians!AU?

Well because of a request of a YouTube comment, I have given more details about their powers. 

Okay so! All of them have their canon powers: (shape shifting, sinking in and out, summoning, ect) 

 All of their powers have a 'charge' after extensive use, they have to rest to gain charge back. 

Now to specifics: 

Virgil - Shield of protection. Can summon up to 1 shield per hand, as long as he is focusing. Can change the shield size, but the larger the size, the more charge is used. Can summon more if Thomas is in 'fight or flight' mode. 

Roman - Weapon summoning. Can summon up to 10 physical weapons withing 5 feet of his hands. can create any weapon, but has a preference to swords. the weapons follow telepathic commands, and can float. can create more if Thomas is feeling very creative 

Patton - Moral (hah) support.  As long as he has physical contact, he can give a boost in stamina, strength, or just straight up healing to anyone (side or person) It works best with encouraging words. Has a 'charge' can either give short large bursts of support or long, but not as as strong support before runs out of charge. can recharge by either eating sweets or resting. Has more charge if Thomas is feeling strong emotions and/or Thomas is with any of his friends. 

Logan - Logical Analysis. Can pick an object and analyse it. The longer the analysis, the more specific it is. He can also predict movements of people if he chooses to.(like construct/reconstruct from DBH) Works faster if Thomas is with Joan. 

Deceit - Invisibility cloak. His cape has two modes: normal and invisible. Anything concealed under the cape will seemingly disappear. He can change how big the cape is, but it has a limit. This limit disappears if Thomas tells a big lie. 

Sleep/Remy - sleep Slime. Can create sleep slime, if it touches any part of your skin, you fall asleep. The duration depends on the type of slime used. Different types send the victim into different stages of sleep. Works longer if Thomas has had coffee in the last hour.

do you have a favorite fanfic ?? I'd love to discover some new ones !!

oh! huh, i don’t do a whole lot of reading bc i am really bad w search engines (they make me super anxious, idk why), but! Here are a few I like, going through my bookmarks on Ao3 (w the links in the titles!)

I love In The Witch’s Nest (Logicality parents to Virgil, Prinxiety endgame, HP AU)

I really loved the fic I got for last Christmas’ TSS Secret Santa, Through Thick And Thin (We Stick Together) (Analodemus endgame, Soulmate AU)

I really really liked Glitter And Gold (Prinxiety, Human AU where Roman is an heir and denies being gay for a long time)

Also, whenever I need a distraction, I re-read A Proposal You Can’t Refuse (bunch of one shots w proposals)

Love Like You (Anxceit endgame, Human AU w the twins being absolutely the best kids I love them) is absolutely amazing

This Love-Hate Relationship serie (Prinxiety, Logicality, Remas [Remy/chara Thomas], Dee/OC [QPR, Aro Dee], Human AU, Band AU) is great but ik chara Thomas ships aren’t always people’s fave, so

The Black Hole Group Chat (LAMP, Human AU), THE FIC THAT GOT ME BACK IN DND, I love it so much, I know it by heart by now

Soul Ink serie (LAMP, Soulmate AU), I love it so much

With A Coma After Dearest (Logince, Human AU) is absolutely lovely, and I love the writing style so much

A Lesson In Practicality (Prinxiety, Logicality, Human AU, Superhero AU) is awesome, and I even got to talk to Celery on TikTok a while back thanks to a friend, and just. Yeah. Read it several times!

To Build A Home (Logicality parents to Virgil, Human AU) is also awesome, I read it several times as well

Mind the TWs for all of them tho, because they’re not all super happy?

tbh, I don’t know what my fave fics are, and most of the fics I read are centered around the same pairings bc I only have a few people who are willing to rec fics to me, and as I mentioned before, search engines really stress me out for some reason, so searching fics isn’t really easy at all? But like. If you got any to rec me, I would absolutely love to check them out
