Definitely same. The characters make their own choices, and I'm just running to keep up with them!

Me answering questions about my own characters with "I feel like", "I think they", "I do see that they"

as if they aren't my characters, like say it with your chest man. no one can say otherwise.

I NEED people to know that Neve‘s little item she holds in the intro and in idle animations is not a cigarette holder or pipe, it‘s…a pen.

It‘s a fluid writer pen…sorry for cursing you with the knowledge

I’m going to pick him up and study him beneath a microscope

When Neve was talking about being slandered in the Minrathous papers this is what she was talking about.

In light of politics coming out of the UK, USA, and many other countries lately, I thought maybe I should just post a reminder that transphobes are NOT welcome on any of my blogs. I don't care if you like the subjects I post about. If I catch you, you will be blocked. I fucking hate you and hope you either change or suffer consequences of your bigotry.

And to any fellow trans people reading this, especially trans women: You are loved.

I want to boop Karlach's nose. That's it. Just wanna boop her nose. I know it would burn my fingertip off but she's just too boopable

Apparently Alana is romancing Bellara this run - I don't know how I got the romance dialogue with her, I deliberately didn't choose the heart options but oh well!

Could be fun to go off script this playthrough and go where the game takes me.

[therivercrow]

That "fire and ice" mission is a source of some excellent screenshots.

Love seeing Alana looking so badass.

I really want to participate in the rook wednesday and other writing prompts but I'm so depressed after the UK supreme court ruling today.

Transphobia is evil. Just pure cruelty and hate.

No AI art in fandom.

No AI writing in fandom.

No AI in fandom.

Create, even if it's awkward, even if it's clumsy, even if it's full of mistakes.

Create because it comes from the heart, not from stolen art and algorithms.

Erm ... Late thirties but yeah.

The ‘you’re mature for your age’ to sleeping with a bed full of plushies in your mid twenties pipeline is real

“hardened Neve” this, “hardened Lucanis” that

I raise you hardened Rook

it doesn’t matter which city Rook saves—a part of Rook dies that day regardless

it doesn’t matter how great of a friend, lover, or hero Rook becomes—something or someone always slips through fingers like Rivaini sand

it doesn’t matter how Rook runs themself ragged saving the world while keeping their team alive—a companion is still dead and still another’s been taken and Rook’s been irreparably altered by the regret prison and Minrathous still ends up sacked and Varric’s a fucking figment of Rook’s imagination and—

the conclusion comes quietly, gently, without fanfare, written under soothing aquamarine light, an empty cup spills red onto thick parchment and green cushions

the Caretaker bows their head goodnight, keeps vigil over Rook’s shut door

a former lover and perhaps a few companions finally make their way up the stairs, seeking; Lucanis is cooking tonight

Rook’s never been late for supper before.

I would just like to point out that even though Neve paints her nails, she still keeps them short, and if you don’t know why that makes her The Best, you don’t have enough Dragon Age lesb!ans going Fangirl Feral on your timeline. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Companion colour palettes from the official cosplay guides

Found myself needing the colours for everyone's outfits for reference more than once, so I finally sat down to pull myself together and make these. You can find the full guides on EA's official website.

Rook’s Business Card

I saw these going around and I wanted to try making one for myself! I really wanted to make it fancy~

I also made Sabi a pre-game and during-the-game version haha

She constantly has to explain that “ritual destruction” means “destroying a ritual” not “ritualized destruction.” Don’t argue with her, she has a master’s.

I think pretty much everyone has done it by now but I’m tagging @thedissonantverses because I can. Also @tinyshoopuf and @hedwigoprah as my fellow Ingellvars! And also @thecraftybaroness as Sabriel Name Twin :) And YOU if you haven’t done it and you want to!!
