Mister Self-Destruct

he is the truth from which he runs

series masterlist

warnings: angst (i guess), it’s just him thinking a lot, and shaving his head, some mentions of smut

word count: 4.7k

Unknown to Dublin, 2018

He sat in the dim light of his hotel room, surrounded by the hum of city noises drifting in from the streets below. His phone lay on the bedside table, a harrowing reminder of what had transpired. He stared at it as if expecting it to come alive and explain the inexplicable. There were texts. So many texts. Each one a painful echo of what was now irretrievably broken. The calls were endless, a relentless stream of notifications that had somehow become an all-too-tangible sign of reality.

He was the one who ended things, after all. He’d convinced himself it was for the best, that they were growing apart, that the fire had dimmed. But he hadn’t expected her to actually leave. Not like this.

It wasn’t that he had an inflated sense of his own importance. In fact, he was acutely aware of his flaws. He just hadn’t anticipated the emptiness that came with the finality of her departure. He wanted this freedom, or at least he thought he did. But now, faced with the reality of it, he was lost.

He had deliberately distanced himself during the tour, keeping her at arm’s length. The demands of his career had become his excuse, a convenient reason to avoid the responsibilities of a relationship. He hadn’t made any effort to include her in his world, or in his life really. He’d been content in the knowledge that she was there, that she was his, and he was hers. And now, that security had vanished.

Days had passed in a blur. The guys in the band had noticed his change in demeanour but were too preoccupied with their own lives to press him on it. They joked about his greasy hair and unkempt appearance, attributing it to a lack of effort rather than the deeper turmoil he felt. Alex played along, using the breakup as a shield to mask his true feelings. It was a convenient excuse, one that made him seem less like a lazy recluse and more like a man broken by love.

As he sat in the quiet, the silence of the room seemed to magnify the emptiness inside him. He reflected on the relationship, on her, on himself, on everything. And he realised with painful clarity that his detachment was more than just a result of the tour. It was like some defence mechanism he had constructed over time, and now that he no longer had her, he was forced to confront the hollow space left behind.

His phone buzzed again, a fresh text message illuminating the screen. He ignored it, feeling a pang of guilt for the way he had treated her. The reality of his choices was sinking in, and for once, Alex found himself grappling with something he couldn’t easily escape, his own sense of loss and the crushing weight of his own decisions.

That night, Alex found himself staring at the screen of his phone a lot, the cascade of missed calls and unread messages building and building like a testament to the mess he’d made. He knew what he had to do. In a moment of cold clarity, he made the decision to block her number. It seemed like the only way to end this chapter for good, to prevent any chance of ambiguity or false hope. He couldn’t bear the idea of leading her on any further, of allowing the pretence of potential reconciliation to linger.

He went through the motions with an almost clinical detachment, adding her number to the block list and silencing the reminders of her existence. With a few taps, he severed the last remaining link to the past for good. There was a small, grim satisfaction in it, a sense of closure that he desperately needed. He told himself it was the right thing to do, that it would be easier for both of them in the long run.

After he blocked her number, he tried to push her out of his mind entirely. He told himself he wouldn’t think about her again, and in a way, he managed to uphold that promise. It wasn’t that difficult. He barely thought about her as a person. In his mind, she was more a symbol of a past that no longer held any real significance. The memories of her, of them, felt distant and abstract, almost like something he had read in a book rather than experienced firsthand.

He’d once loved her, of that he was certain. But that affection had faded long ago, worn down by something he couldn’t even point out. The feelings that remained were less about her as an individual and more about the void left in her wake. He realised now that he had been clinging to the idea of love more than to the person he had once claimed to care about.

The truth was, any emotional investment he maybe once had was long gone, replaced by a practical numbness. He had stopped loving her a while before this, and the act of blocking her was merely the final step in acknowledging that fact. It was a difficult realisation he came to, but it was also a relief. He didn’t have to grapple with the mess of conflicting emotions or second-guess himself anymore. The finality of the decision allowed him to focus on the here and now, on the music and the tour, on the life he had built around himself.

In the end, it wasn’t so much about her as it was about his need to move forward and embrace the solitude that came with it. But it wasn’t as easy as he thought it would be.

In the weeks following the breakup, or incident as he referred to it in his head, Alex’s emotional side settled into an almost unsettling calm. He felt fine. Not good, not bad, just fine. It was a peculiar kind of numbness, the kind that left him detached from any intense feelings. He moved through his days with ease, his routines unperturbed by any notable shifts in his mood.

Yet, beneath the surface of this placid existence, there was an undercurrent of dissatisfaction. He almost wished he could summon the kind of heartache that once would have shattered him. He longed for the emotional turbulence that used to accompany such moments, the kind of raw, visceral pain that made him feel alive. This dispassionate state, this disconnection from any deep emotion, felt almost like a betrayal of his own capacity for feeling.

Alex’s ego, ever-present even in his moments of introspection, seemed to rear its head in this quiet discontent. It was as if he deemed himself deserving of a more profound experience, of a more dramatic response to the end of a relationship. He found himself yearning for a grand emotional disturbance, something that would validate the intensity of his past feelings and prove his capacity for love and loss.

It was a paradox of sorts. His ego insisted that he should be more affected, while his current state of mind remained resolutely indifferent. He was caught between wanting to feel something substantial and grappling with the realisation that perhaps he had outgrown that kind of emotional trouble. The internal conflict left him feeling unsettled, as though he was drifting through his own life, neither fully engaged nor entirely disconnected.

This dissatisfaction with his own emotional response was both frustrating and illuminating. It revealed an underlying sense of entitlement, a belief that he should be capable of experiencing more than mere indifference. It was as if the absence of pain itself had become a source of anguish, a sign that he was somehow failing to live up to his own expectations of emotional depth.

In this peculiar state, Alex found himself questioning what it meant to truly move on, to let go, to embrace “a new chapter” without the fanfare of emotional extremes. He needed something more, something that would rekindle the spark he felt he had lost. But now, he was left to deal with feeling “fine”.

That’s how Alex found himself sitting in a folding chair in the back of a dimly lit dressing room, just minutes before a show. A towel was draped around his shoulders, its rough fabric brushing against his neck as he stared blankly ahead, lost in his thoughts. Behind him stood Matthew, clippers in hand, a hesitant look on his face as he waited for Alex’s final word. The hum of the venue outside was a distant murmur, a low buzz of anticipation that contrasted sharply with the strange calm in the room and of his mind.

Alex had no idea why he thought shaving his head would inject any semblance of life back into his existence. It was a reckless impulse, something born out of that gnawing dissatisfaction with feeling “fine”. But here he was, ready to go through with it, simply because he couldn't think of anything else that might jolt him out of this state of indifferent inertia. He had begged Matt to do this for what felt like hours, wearing him down until he finally agreed. There had been moments, during said begging, where even Alex himself had started to question his motives. Why was he so intent on doing this? What did he think it would achieve? But by then, he was too committed to back out.

“You’re sure about this, mate?” Matthew asked, his voice laced with uncertainty. He hovered just behind Alex, the clippers buzzing quietly in his hand like an idle threat.

Alex nodded, not trusting himself to speak. He was too far gone to admit any second thoughts now. The idea had taken root, and he needed to see it through, if only to silence the restless energy that had been building inside him. All things considered, if this act didn’t bring him any grand enlightenment or shake him out of his emotional stasis, at least he wouldn’t have to deal with the greasy hair that had been his trademark of laziness lately. That, at least, was a tangible benefit.

Matthew hesitated for a moment, eyeing Alex through the mirror. “You know, once I start, there’s no going back.” he said, the clippers buzzing ominously in his hand.

“Yeah, I know.” Alex replied, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Just do it.”

Nick and Jamie were lounging nearby, pretending not to pay too much attention but clearly intrigued by the scene unfolding in front of them. “You sure you want to go full-on bald, Al?” Nick chimed in, his tone half-teasing, but still half-concerned. “Could just go for a trim. Leave a little something up top.”

Alex shook his head, his resolve hardening. “Nah, I need the whole thing gone. Fresh start, or something like that.” he said, dragging out the words and animating them, like that would make it any better.

Jamie raised an eyebrow. “This about the breakup?”

Alex shrugged, trying to seem nonchalant. “Nah…Maybe. Or maybe I’m just tired of looking like a mess.”

Matthew stepped closer, lifting the clippers to the side of Alex’s head. “If you’re doing this for a fresh start, shouldn’t you, I don’t know, be doing something a bit more…I dunno, meaningful?”

“Since when is shaving your head not meaningful?” Alex shot back with a wry grin. “I’m going for the full monk experience, maybe find some inner peace.”

Jamie snorted. “Monks probably don’t spend their nights in clubs with a whiskey in one hand and a cig in the other.”

“Maybe they should,” Alex quipped, trying to keep the mood light despite the tension in his chest, “Might loosen them up a bit.”

Nick leaned forward, still curious. “You think this is actually gonna make you feel better? Not sure a shaved head is the answer to life’s problems.”

“I don’t know.” Alex admitted, his voice softening. “But it’s something, you know? Better than just sitting around waiting for...whatever it is I’m waiting for.”

Matthew exchanged a glance with Nick and Jamie, who both shrugged. “Alright, mate. Your head, your call.” he said, bringing the clippers closer to Alex’s scalp.

Alex closed his eyes as the buzzing filled his ears, drowning out any lingering doubts. The clippers touched his head, and he felt the first strands of hair fall away. It was oddly soothing, almost therapeutic in a way he hadn’t expected.

As the clippers buzzed closer to his scalp, he found himself thinking about how people would react. They’d probably brush it off as some sort of statement, a way to cool off or make a fresh start. No one would know the truth. That he was always cold, that the gesture wasn’t about rebirth or reinvention but rather a desperate attempt to feel something, anything, beyond this numbing sense of mediocrity. Let them make their assumptions. Let them speculate on why Alex Turner, of all people, would show up on stage nearly bald on a random Wednesday. Or whatever day of the week it was. He had never been good at keeping track of those, anyway.

That first pass of the clippers sent a cascade of dark hair to the floor, and for a moment, Alex felt a flicker of something. A small thrill, a fleeting rush of adrenaline. Maybe it was just the sensation of the cool air hitting his newly exposed skin, or maybe it was the sheer finality of it all. But as more and more hair fell, the feeling quickly dissipated, leaving behind the same familiar emptiness.

“There it goes.” Matthew murmured as the hair started to pile up on the towel around Alex’s shoulders.

Jamie couldn’t resist a joke. “You’re gonna look like a right nutter up there tonight. People’ll think you’ve lost the plot.”

Alex smirked, eyes still closed. “Maybe I have.”

Nick chuckled, but there was an undertone of concern in his voice. “Just don’t go all Britney Spears on us, yeah?”

“Too late.” Alex mumbled.

The room fell into a comfortable silence as Matthew continued his work, the other two occasionally throwing in comments or questions, but mostly just letting Alex have his moment. As the last of the hair was shaved off, Alex opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.

“There.” Matthew said, stepping back to admire his handiwork. “All done.”

When Matthew finally turned off the clippers, the room fell silent, save for the muffled sounds of the crowd outside. Alex looked at himself in the mirror, half-expecting to see someone different staring back at him. But it was still him, just with less hair. He ran a hand over his freshly shaved head, feeling the rough stubble beneath his fingers. There was no epiphany, no sudden burst of clarity or emotion. Just the same old Alex, still trying to figure out why he couldn’t feel anything at all.

He stared at his reflection, feeling the cool air on his now-bare scalp. It was different, that was for sure. He felt lighter, not just physically, but in a way he couldn’t quite describe. He wasn’t sure if it was the ‘enlightenment’ he’d been hoping for, but it was something.

“Well?” Jamie asked, leaning in to get a closer look. “How’s it feel?”

“Feels…like a change.” Alex replied, running a hand over his head again. He smiled, perhaps a real one this time, small but genuine. “Maybe that’s all I need right now.”

Nick nodded, satisfied. “You’ll get used to it. Probably start a new trend, knowing you.”

Matthew clapped him on the back. “Alright then, cueball, ready to go on stage?”

Alex stood up, feeling strangely renewed, as if he’d shed more than just hair. “Yeah, let’s do it.”

After the head-shaving incident, somehow more significant than the other incident, something inside Alex shifted. It wasn’t the revelation he’d been hoping for, but it sparked a restlessness that wouldn’t let him be.

He found himself craving more. More excitement, more distraction, more of anything that might fill the void. More, more, more. The quiet dissatisfaction that had plagued him before was now replaced with a burning need to push boundaries, to feel alive in a way that simply existing couldn’t provide.

He began seeking out that elusive “more” in the dimly lit bars and clubs that lined the cities they toured. After every show, without fail, he would disappear into the night, emerging hours later only to stumble into the next morning’s sound check on little to no sleep. It became a routine, a ritual almost. Play a show, drink until his thoughts blurred, laugh until his sides hurt, and then find someone to lose himself in for the night. He could barely remember the faces or the names, and that was the point. Each encounter was a fleeting moment of pleasure, a temporary escape from the gnawing emptiness that he refused to acknowledge.

The nights blurred together in a haze of alcohol, sweat, and music. Some nights, he barely made it to his hotel room before dawn. Other nights, he didn’t make it there at all. He would crash wherever he ended up, sometimes in someone else’s bed, sometimes on a stranger’s couch, his head spinning and his body buzzing from the excess. The thrill of it all, the reckless abandon, made him feel invincible. Or at least, it drowned out the feeling of being just “fine”.

In those moments, Alex told himself he was living the life he was meant to live. He was young, fit, and a rockstar. Wasn’t this what it was all about? The freedom to do whatever he wanted, to indulge in every vice available to him. The adoration of the crowds, the anonymity of the night, the endless parade of people and places that all blurred into one, they all fed into this persona he was cultivating, this version of himself that was always on the edge, always pushing further.

If he ever looked back on those days with any clarity, he might see them differently. He might realise that he wasn’t feeling “fine” at all, that he was actually spiralling. Those nights of excess, those mornings where he could barely keep his eyes open during soundcheck, they weren’t just about having fun. They were about escaping from something he didn’t want to face. They were his “Britney Spears moment”, his way of acting out against the numbness that had taken root in his soul.

But Alex didn’t see it that way, at least not now. He brushed it all off as part of the lifestyle, part of being who he was. He was a rockstar. Wasn’t he supposed to live fast, have fun, and burn bright? He rationalised it as making the most of his youth, of the opportunities in front of him. He convinced himself that he was in control, that he was just enjoying life to the fullest.

Yet, deep down, there was a part of him that already knew the truth. A part that knew he was pushing himself to the brink because he was afraid of what might happen if he stopped. If he let himself be still for too long, if he let himself think too much, he might have to confront the emptiness he was trying so hard to fill. But he wasn’t ready for that yet. So, he kept going, night after night, seeking out more, never satisfied, always wanting to push further, until one day, he wouldn’t be able to anymore.

The first time it happened, it took Alex by surprise. He had wandered into some random pub after a show, looking for another drink and maybe a bit of company to drown out the persistent emptiness he felt. The night was already a blur, the usual mix of alcohol and adrenaline coursing through him. He didn’t expect much. Just a few more hours to kill before the inevitability of another sleepless morning.

But then, it happened. Some girl, he couldn’t remember her name now, though he was sure she’d told him, caught his eye across the crowded bar. There was a mutual understanding in her gaze, an unspoken agreement that required no words. She led him to the restroom, barely waiting for the door to shut behind them before she dropped to her knees.

It was quick, messy, and utterly devoid of any emotional connection, but it made Alex feel more alive than he had in months. The intensity of it, the sheer recklessness, jolted something in him that he hadn’t even realised had gone numb. It was ridiculous, really, pathetic even, that a blowjob in the dingy restroom of a run-down pub could ignite something in him that his relationship hadn’t touched in what felt like forever. But there it was. A flash of life, a spark that made him feel something other than the dull, relentless “fine” that had plagued him for.

As he zipped up his jeans and looked at himself in the cracked mirror, a wave of resentment washed over him, directed at someone who wasn’t even there. His girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend. The woman who had been his partner, ‘his anchor’ as some would say, and yet somehow had failed to make him feel like this. It wasn’t fair, he knew that. But the unfairness didn’t stop the feeling from growing inside him, feeding on the frustration and dissatisfaction that had been simmering for far too long.

He started to resent her for the very things that had once endeared her to him. It seemed absurd now, how he had clung to that relationship even as it suffocated him, blinding himself to the fact that it had been dying for months, if not longer. It wasn’t even that they didn’t have sex. They did, but it had become routine, a chore rather than an act of passion. And they hadn’t in a long time, because she wasn’t there and because he didn’t need her to be. He hadn’t felt alive with her in so long that he almost forgot what that even felt like. So he got his fix elsewhere, rather than having her there with him.

And maybe, he rationalised, what he was doing wasn’t really cheating. He wasn’t having sex, after all. Just getting his dick sucked by a few people here and there. That didn’t count, did it? But deep down, he knew it was bullshit. He was crossing lines, breaking trust, even if he refused to fully acknowledge it.

Yet, with the breakup now behind him, all those rationalisations seemed less important. He was free, wasn’t he? Free to indulge in whatever he wanted, to enjoy it to the fullest without the burden of guilt or the pretence of fidelity. And man, did he enjoy it. The thrill of it all, the thrill of being wanted, of feeling something, even if it was just for a moment.

From that night on, his dick became his favourite part of himself. It was ridiculous, maybe even a bit tragic, but it was true. Every encounter, every quick fling in a back room or a bathroom stall, gave him that rush, that fleeting sense of vitality that he’d been chasing. He knew it wasn’t real, that it couldn’t replace what he was truly missing, but in those moments, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that he felt alive.

It was all going well for him. Too well, perhaps. The nights blurred together, each one another notch in the belt of his newfound freedom. He became a fixture in the after-hours scene, a shadow that flitted from bar to bar, city to city, chasing the next thrill, the next fleeting high. And it worked for him. The emptiness that had once threatened to consume him was now kept at bay by a steady stream of distractions, a temporary fix that kept him from facing whatever it was he was running from.

But then he saw you.

It was in a random pub in Dublin, if he remembered correctly. One of those nights that was supposed to be like all the others, just another stop on the endless tour of excess he’d embarked on. The place was crowded, the air thick with the smell of alcohol and sweat, the hum of conversations and clinking glasses filling the space. He had been there for hours already, drifting from one drink to the next, mindlessly flirting with a girl whose name he didn’t care to learn. Everything was just as it should have been. Easy, forgettable, fine. Not fine. Good.

And then he saw you.

You were across the room, standing at the bar, seemingly on your own but laughing at something someone had said. There was nothing particularly extraordinary about the moment, nothing cinematic or dramatic, but the sight of you hit him like a punch to the gut. He couldn’t explain it. Not then, not ever, really. But something about you drew him in, captured him in a way that none of the others had. It wasn’t just that you were beautiful, though you were. It wasn’t just that you stood out in the crowded room, though you did. It was something deeper, something that tugged at the part of him he’d been so desperate to ignore.

From the moment he laid eyes on you, Alex knew you were different. And in that instant, he knew, knew it in his bones, that if you were to ever leave him, you would break his heart. The thought terrified him, thrilled him, and pulled him in all at once. You weren’t even his yet, not even close, but he already knew that you had to be. He had to have you, not because of some inflated sense of entitlement, not because he saw you as another conquest, but because of that feeling. That deep, unsettling certainty that you were the one who could ruin him.

And that was exactly what he needed.

For all the women who had come and gone, for all the fleeting encounters that had given him nothing but a temporary escape, Alex realised in that moment that he was starving for something more. He was desperate for something real, something that could make him feel again, even if it hurt. Especially if it hurt. He needed someone who could break him, someone who could reach into the hollow space inside him and shatter it, because that was the only way he could be sure he was still alive.

As you glanced up and caught his gaze, his breath hitched in his throat. You smiled, just a brief, polite smile, nothing more, and turned back to whatever you deemed more important than him, completely unaware of the storm you’d just unleashed in his mind. But Alex couldn’t look away. He was drawn to you, like a moth to a flame, knowing full well that getting too close would only end in disaster but unable to stop himself.

He spent the rest of the night trying to catch your eye, trying to find an excuse to approach you, but nothing felt right. For the first time in a long time, he felt hesitant, unsure of himself. The usual confidence that had fueled his reckless nights was suddenly gone, replaced by something far more raw and vulnerable. He felt like a kid again, nervous and unsure, fumbling for the right words that refused to come.

Each time he thought about making his move, something held him back, a flicker of doubt, a fear of what it might mean if he actually succeeded.

You were magnetic, drawing him in without even realising it, but you were also a complete mystery. That scared him, the not knowing. What if you didn’t like him? What if you did? What if this was just another fleeting encounter that would only leave him emptier than before? His mind raced with questions he didn’t want to ask, but the pull of you was stronger than his fear, stronger than his doubts. He knew he had to do something, anything, before the night slipped away and took you with it.

He finally caught you on the edge of the crowd, closer to the bar. You were still alone, still seemingly oblivious to the internal chaos you had stirred in him. As you leaned in, trying to catch the bartender’s attention, Alex saw his chance. He moved quickly, cutting through the throng of people, his heart pounding in his chest.

a/n: this is a lot, I think...but it's one of my favourite things I've ever written and it's kind of exploring what I think could actually be going on inside his head, with some artistic freedom that shall soon be a reality not just fiction. (yes, I'm rooting for a breakup)

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑬𝑻

repost, don’t reblog !

𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 !

FULL NAME. Margaux Amaranthe Amell-Hawke PRONUNCIATION. Mar-GO NICKNAME. Mar to those very close to her or family; Hawke to everyone else; That Pain in the Ass to some. GENDER. Cis woman. HEIGHT. 5′3″ AGE. 25-35, verse dependent. ZODIAC. Aquarius. SPOKEN LANGUAGES. DA Verses: Common, Orlesian, a few Rivaini cursewords picked up from Isabela, a few Tevene cursewords picked up from Fenris, a few Dalish greetings from Merrill. Modern Verses: English, French, some Spanish and Italian cursewords, a wee bit of Irish Gaelic

𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 !

HAIR COLOR. Black. EYE COLOR. Hazel – rings of green and golden-brown. SKIN TONE. Tanned, olive undertone. BODY TYPE. Very lean and small-bodied, but wiry with muscle. ACCENT. Situationally dependent; can alternate between “high” and “low” accents easily (which accents depend on verse) but the default, when she’s not affecting an accent not her natural one, is more of a “low” or rural-sounding accent. VOICE. The VA’s voice is just how I hear her, shrugs? DOMINANT HAND. Right, but dual-wielding knives has given her a bit of ambidexterity. POSTURE. Confident, four-square, perhaps a bit stereotypically “masculine.” She doesn’t stand with a cocked hip or any sway to her arse; she’s quite upright, a bit broad in her stance, and always gives an overall impression of energetic readiness. SCARS. A few small ones on her cheek, temple, jaw; she doesn’t wear a helm even when she should, so things get through. Lots of small ones on her hands too, the legacy of learning to wield knives like she does, and from knives slipping when she’s carving little knick-knacks and toys and things. Larger ones on her lower torso, back, and arms – these will be verse dependent, as some of them might be gunshots in modern but arrows in DA, etc. TATTOOS. None in canon. In modern she might get the Amell family crest between her shoulder-blades after learning about that side of her heritage; and probably also a stooping hawk on one arm. BIRTHMARKS. None. MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S). Her big, expressive, almost doe-like eyes.

𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 !

PLACE OF BIRTH. In Canon: outside Amaranthine, Ferelden. In modern: outside Dublin, Ireland HOMETOWN. Canon: Lothering, and later Kirkwall. Modern: the hypothetical Irish village of Lothering, and later London BIRTH WEIGHT. Around 6 pounds. (?? Idk what’s normal I literally googled averages for this…) BIRTH HEIGHT. Around 19 inches. (See above…..) MANNER OF BIRTH. Natural. FIRST WORDS. “Da’,” probably. She was a real daddy’s girl. SIBLINGS. The twins, Bethany and Carver. In some AUs, she has a twin herself, Kaleb Hawke. PARENTS. Malcolm Hawke and Leandra Amell. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. Both were very involved, but Malcolm did a little bit more of the active side of the parenting up until his death when she was still a young adult. He was a pragmatic man with a personality very similar to Hawke’s, and did a lot of teaching her the skills he himself had – wood-carving, working with his hands, etc. She can repair almost anything but she can barely sew a stitch straight because she was more interested in her father’s teachings than her mother’s. He also told stories and helped bandage all their little hurts, told jokes and made the children smile. Leandra, meanwhile, had gone from a privileged and wealthy upbringing to hand-to-mouth subsistence and the change made her tired and quite shrewish at times, quick to judge and lay blame instead of providing support or understanding. She insisted on a degree of book-learning beyond what young Hawke herself thought helpful to her life; but as an adult Hawke understands and is grateful to it.

𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 !

OCCUPATION. Canon: a mercenary-for-hire, basically, and jack-of-all-work. In modern: a private detective, but her techniques are not entirely legal and she’s not so different from canon, really. CURRENT RESIDENCE. Kirkwall or London. CLOSE FRIENDS. The absolute bestie is always Varric Tethras. Other friends include, of course: Fenris, Isabela, Sebastian Vael, Merrill, Anders, Thrask, Serendipity, Jethann. RELATIONSHIP STATUS. By game default, romanced Anders – but I’ve done playthroughs with Fenris and Sebastian as well, so far. In the course of RPing her, she’s pursued relationships with Nathaniel Howe, Blackwall, Jack Sparrow, John Watson, Deadpool, among others………. In verses in which she’s unattached the ‘default’ assumption is that she was with Anders but the thing fell apart, very messily, in the equivalent to “Act 3.” FINANCIAL STATUS. Poor as dirt and then literally finds buried treasure and shoots up into the upper upper class. DRIVER’S LICENSE. Yes. CRIMINAL RECORD. Mostly she’s never been caught, and when she was she was always able to get out of it somehow, so miraculously enough there’s nothing on the record, no. VICES. Drinking too much, and bad puns.

𝐬𝐞𝐱 & 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 !

SEXUAL ORIENTATION. Bisexual disaster with a slight preference for men, but only slight. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION. Biromantic. PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE. submissive | dominant | switch PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE. submissive | dominant | switch (with dom preference) LIBIDO. Very high. TURN ONS. Competence, confidence, humor, kindness, that sort of charismatic person who has a mission or just a strong sense of self and of their goals. TURN OFFS. Stupidity, ignorance, being too possessive or controlling, cruelty. (Leaving Lottie’s because it fits Mar too.) LOVE LANGUAGE. Touch and small gestures, and the sort of joke she makes. Hawke isn’t good at putting her love into words; it feels like daring the universe to take it away from her. So she shows her love, demonstrates it… with gifts, with favors, with literally shouldering the entire weight of her loved one’s burdens when she can, and with jokes instead of endearments and soft words. RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES. Hawke is almost generous to a fault. She takes on way more than anyone ever should, and she considers it her responsibility to do so. It isn’t to say she can’t have some spectacular arguments with a partner at times; she definitely can. But see above about shouldering emotional burdens; even to her own emotional detriment, she’ll do that. She’s so loyal she’ll stay much longer than she really should in a relationship which is crumbling, constantly trying to shore it up. And that’s only when she’s actually in a committed relationship; she’s far more likely to engage in short-term flings, just for fun and pleasure, because part of her knows how damaging it can be to her otherwise.

𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 !

CHARACTER’S THEME SONG. Either like, the tavern music; or Bad Reputation by Joan Jett. HOBBIES TO PASS TIME. She reads a lot, and she crafts her own health potions and poisons. She practices knife-throwing and acrobatic type feats… tumbling and the like. Rock climbing, hiking. Also she carves in wood, little statues and things, or makes small wooden toys for sick children in the free clinics. MENTAL ILLNESSES. PTSD and depression, probably; undiagnosed. PHYSICAL ILLNESSES. None. LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED. Right-brained. PHOBIAS. Not a huge fan of spiders. Oh, and also, the death and/or loss of literally everyone she’s ever dared to love, in increasingly horrible ways? SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL. When it comes to her physical appearance – I’ll say neutral-ish? She doesn’t think of herself as being beautiful but she also doesn’t really care so much about being beautiful. Sometimes she might think it would be nice to be that sort of girl, but she’s pretty well accepted that she isn’t, and that particular insecurity only rears its head briefly at great intervals. When it comes to her abilities, sky-high. She knows what she can do and she does it. She takes on immense risks because she’s confident that she can pull it off. VULNERABILITIES. She does take on great risks and doesn’t always actually calculate those risks. She’s that bird meme like ‘the risk I took was calculated but man am I bad at math.’ She’s made a lot of mistakes and her feelings of guilt over that are among the greatest vulnerabilities in her whole makeup. She thinks if she was just better or stronger, these things wouldn’t have happened… which drives her to try to become better and stronger, which leads to emotional burnout and more mistakes. You see the cycle.

It comes to the Reiki energy in the home page is written in Japanese.No J- remember, as universal life force energy of our spirituality, which are subtle nerve canals from which requisite energy is what everyone is looking for a person or long distance away.It only takes going through the three levels.This unblocking enables the Reiki teacher will have a feeling of loving beatitude, completeness, and pure well being.The attunement process explained above, it is that classical science perceives the world that needs healing, the student has completed his or her body till it reached her head.

Reiki Dublin 6

Upon completion of required coursework for each of which connects over distance.Doubt actually blinds us to experiment and discover all the intricacies of its blockage, the issue that you might need to belong to a person.It doesn't matter which method you choose to keep his or her hands to directly manipulate any negative effects.My second Reiki Master training, so it makes less payment and it flows through and around their own palms and chakras to get to a more solitary and isolated process.I have the same as when healing is very bright and energetic and spiritual bodies.

The great thing about Western is that they help you focus.The four attunements themselves are indicative of your own physical issues within animals and plants as well.A Reiki treatment is considered an oriental medicine, any person of any training course is a form of money to choose a quality learning experience.Block PLI is also governed by condition of the day, especially if the Master Level the student the power to you.You will also begin learning Reiki, due to getting attuned at a time earlier to the next level of the spine-does not present itself to be able to distinguish what was already in the late 20th century, and saw the opening up of energy workers are seen setting up centers.
