Gale of Minrathous

Dragon Age AU where Gale is a Tevinter magister who accidentally infected himself with red lyrium. He's found a way to halt the lyrification. Mostly.

More tidbits:

Devout Andrastian with a bit of Leliana's "the Maker speaks to me" thing going, except it's "Andraste—so obviously a mage btw, I have 5000 words prepared and ready to go on this topic—sings to me, magic prodigy"

"therefore I am sure to be the one to unlock the secrets of this powerful, strange new lyrium that is singing to m—oh. golly. that went poorly"

joins the inquisition after he emerges from isolation and his former peers have all become Venatori. If his own folly has emptied the sand from his hourglass, why not spend the little time that remains to him serving Andraste's chosen?

0 moral qualms about blood magic except that all participants must be willing. All magic is neutral—its use determines whether it is good or bad

Tara is his possessed cat, who has lived far longer than a cat should, but Gale isn't complaining. who says abominations can't like chin scritches

talks about Minrathous, a lot

would break open the heavens to see the throne of the Maker, just for the experience

Final AU thoughts under the cut!

what the magisterium doesn't want you to see:

the staff that I know, deep in my heart, Gale uses and insists is artistic:

My Dragon Age main characters line-up.

I realized that I was not in time for the 31st. And I hastily put together a slightly different project than I wanted. Most likely, I will sit down to finish my idea later. So, uh, that's my protags for Dragon Age series. See their full arts under the cut.

Kaverin ideoimana, kun Li hakkas Väykän eurovaaliääniennätyksen:

[talvenkarhukainen]

iris rukka (i believe it's best translated as "poor iris"?) is a finnish story written by anni swan about a girl who has to leave her cottage home by the forest to begin a proper education in helsinki with her wealthy uncle and cousins, though it quickly becomes apparent that she's the odd one out

admittedly i never read it as a child but now reading a bunch of finnish fairytales and children's books i'm starting to see a lot of similar themes and values and with iris rukka it's again more or less about how important tenacity and humility is, but also about not sacrificing your integrity

i could talk more about the story itself but i don't wanna make this too long, i unfortunately can't seem to find an english translation of it anywhere either....
