the love was there. it didnt change anything and it wasnt even thematically relevant and honestly it kinda got annoying to the point where i wished for hatred and malice instead and it ruined the whole thing for me

i love the mage fighting animations in da2 where you have close range combat with the opposite side of the staff doubling as some form of a knife or blade. and the rogue duel wielding animation where hawke evaporates into a cloud of smoke and shows up behind the enemy to stab them. it’s beautiful and delicious and really makes for such enchanting combat animation

Garrett can never be Malcolm, I'm--

*long serious of painful noises*

One of the main reasons I'm so in love with default Garrett's design is that it looks so different from Leandra's, Carver's, Bethany's, Gamlen's, and even Marian's.

Their faces are elongated, their features more delicate, they look softer. Meanwhile, Garrett is all sharp angles, unruly hair, and untrimmed beard. The black sheep of the family. A real dog lord.

And you know what's the best part of it? It's the fact that since he doesn't look like his mother and the siblings who took after her (they have Leandra's blue eyes and her features), it means he takes after Malcolm.

Not only does he have his father's temper and coping mechanisms, but he also has his looks.

Imagine being Leandra in this situation. Every day your dead husband, the man you loved the most in your life (enough to say goodbye to your family and your cushy life in the mansion and go on the run with him), looks at you from your son's face, constantly reminding you of what you lost.

Imagine being Garrett in that situation. Because no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you will never be your father, the man who protected his wife and children from harm, the man who created a safe life for them, the man who died and simply because of that can do no wrong.

Carver can never be Garrett, but Garrett can never be Malcolm, and that's the problem, right? Right??

I love you, Garrett Hawke.

I'm beginning to fear how long this WIP is getting and I'm only at chapter 2

Hey, you reblogged that AI post and I was surprised to see something so mean on your blog. "If you cant write unassisted, fuck you, youre a disgrace to the community." Is that really something you want on your blog?

Just in case this isn't a spam message:

Posting AI-generated content to a platform intended to be an archive for writers is not appropriate use of the platform. On a platform intended for human creation, it is rude and inappropriate to clog search results with AI-produced content which often plagiarizes the work of human authors.

Use of generative AI is also horrible for our environment, leading to massive waste of fossil fuel energy and water. We should not be doing damage to our planet for the sake of generating (robot-produced, often plagiarized) fiction, especially when the joy of fiction comes from the creation and emotion of real people.

Rather than giving a prompt to a generative AI, people should consider attempting to write their own work, or asking another writer from the fandom if they would be interested in writing it. Anyone who is capable of typing a prompt into ChatGPT is capable of writing a story. The first attempts may not be amazing, but that is true of any skill, and anyone can improve with time and practice - and while ChatGPT may give you big returns in your time, it doesn't give you practice, growth, or creativity, which is where the joy of writing should come from.

Masterpost of my Cullen/Hawke fics

Felt like doing this to have them all in one place and because of a recent post I saw along the lines of "reblog your own stuff". I'll edit this in the future if I publish any more fics!

The Touch Me with Fire that I Be Cleansed series

Mature to Explicit, 106k total, 4 works. Follows the highs and lows of their relationship throughout DA2, DAI, Trespasser and beyond.

Suitable

Explicit, 7.4k. A little one-shot, fake-relationship thing I wrote while working on my DABB project. Hawke asks Cullen to pretend to date him so that Leandra will stop trying to find him a wife.

Butter Biscuit

Explicit, 44k. My 2024 DABB project. Silly rom-com and angst fest simultaneously, arranged marriage shenanigans. Cullen and Hawke are forced to get married in an attempt to appease mage-templar tensions in Kirkwall.

Before It Felt Like a Sin

Explicit, 15.2k. Horny and self-indulgent, set in early Act 1 of DA2 and during DAI, with Hawke as Inquisitor.
