when i finally get around to making gifs of feynirin kissing all the veilguard, it's over for you bitches

[veilstr1der]

the laughter didn't startle, nor offend, the veil jumper. he knew how he sounded. idealistic at best, naive at worst. but he believed that it was worth saying, worth sharing, worth fighting for. ❝ i know, and isn't that just disappointing. ❞ feynirin said, meeting the others eye. he accepted dante's apologetic smile, though he truly didn't need it. their reality was built for the privileged, the wealthy, and the powerful that paid no mind to those beneath them, but it shouldn't be, and it didn't have to be.

❝ living meal to meal, day to day. it's not enough for anyone. ❞ feynirin was lucky in a sense. he'd found the dalish. found the veil jumpers. he'd left the cities and the towers to live in the forests, moving from camp to camp and spending his life unearthing ancient mysteries. he was happy. not many could claim the same.

❝ i don't know what it'd take to change things in a place like treviso. ❞ feynirin said thoughtfully, ❝ . . . maybe a lot of knives. ❞ he added, almost as an afterthought. his smile implied he was joking. kind of. // @k1llsht , continued from here .

Wickinn + trees

he smelled the camp before he saw it—salt, smoke, and the unmistakable reek of unwashed bodies. the firelight flickered through the trees ahead, casting long, jittery shadows against the rocky shore. crouched low, fingers brushing against the damp earth, feynirin felt the magic thrum beneath his skin.

pirates meant trouble. and trouble meant things catching fire. one of the men laughed, a raucous, deep-belly bellow that promised half the camp was drunk enough to be stupid. feynirin glanced at zahav, his single amber eye reflecting the distant fire light, and shrugged. ❝ if this was arlathan, i'd say we take 'em. ❞ feynirin whispered, words barely above a breath. // @sunsseer , ♡'d for a starter .

[veilstr1der]

magic hung thick in the air, wrong in a way that set his teeth on edge. feynirin's skin prickled as he stopped short, eyes flicking over the worn stones beneath his boots. the patterns were subtle—too perfect in places, fractured just enough in others. a trap.

❝ — . . . trap! ❞ feynirin warned quickly, reaching out to grasp the wizards sleeve, giving the fabric a sharp tug before his boot could land. something coiled tight like a waiting serpent, call it instinct, or magic, or simply a keen eye in the dark, but somehow, feynirin knew a careless step would wake something old, and something hungry. // @weavrot , ♡'d for a starter .

casual magic things:

feynirin lighting torches / lanterns with a wave of his hand

rapidly heating or cooling smt with a breath

reminding flora how to bloom

bending light to make minor illusions

drawings that if you listen close enough you can hear an echo of what was happening around him while he was drawing. laughter, a murmured conversation, the crackle of a fire, the sound of the wind

casual telekinesis, pushing or summoning things to hand

noise cancelling spells

throwing his voice so only you can hear him while in a crowded room

DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD (2024) "You don't understand the power they have. They show you what you crave. They speak to the darkness in your heart. No one can stand against that." "Watch me."

[veilstr1der]

"I'm glad you're okay" but said by someone who has just had the shit beaten out of them, to someone who is not hurt at all, is a brilliant trope and I lose my mind every time.

Places in Dragon Age: Inquisition - Vir Dirthara

This is Vir Dirthara. The living knowledge of the empire. The libraries of every city. The wisdom of every court. A connecting place whose paths are in disarray. The Vir Dirthara was made with world and Fade. When they sundered, so did we. Paths broke. Knowledge fragmented. Many were trapped. I preserve their last words.

what kind of herb are you?

— basil .

you wear a thousand masks and you claim them all. you say they are all of you, all parts of you but some of them you picked up when you needed to be brave. some you picked up when you failed because you were yourself, some of them you picked up because you needed to be stronger for someone smaller, better for someone bigger, useful for someone crueler, and you can't help but desperately scramble for first place, for usefulness. to prove you're worth keeping around, to prove you're the best, to prove you're good enough, valuable enough, enough. you just want someone to tell you you're enough.

you strive for success, to be a role model, to take the lead, to be someone everyone loves, someone who can't fall, someone who can't be hurt the way you once were, the way you're running from now. sometimes you just want someone to hold your hand and let you spill all your broken fragments outward but you know you could never let it go. the only thing holding you together some days is this image of perfection and success, and security and the worst part is that everyone else needs you to never falter either because you so often are the one holding everyone together too.

you can't help but wonder if your emotions are ever your own, if you're just an actor in a life that's not your own. if you're cursed to be a mannequin, a doll, from the moment you were born and placed into a life where you were a child meant to be seen, not heard, to perform, not live, and the jealousy, the injustice, or the pain is fueled into masks as you take the world by storm.
