Chapter 35 is up(:

And everything is fine((:

no one yell at me i didn’t do anything!!!! that i hadn’t already planned to do in the beginning

The worst part about it (for you) is that i can go work on the epilogue to make myself feel better. And i um…I don’t know what you guys are going to do…

Hi friend! I’ve come to seek your Taylor Swift knowledge :)

What Taylor Swift album best represents Cyri, in both aesthetic and what she would most likely listen to?

Also, tit-for-tat and all that, what song(s) do you think represent her? Or fit her vibe?

Thank you so much for askingg (: there is so much Taylor Swift in her playlist.

Aesthetically, it's reputation, no question. Red/Black/Gold is basically her color palette to me. Favorite color is red, swords are fancy and gold. + snakes just Make Sense for the Shadow Dragons.

But if we're talking actual content, it's a way more complicated question. I oscillate a lot between 1989 (she's a city girl) but I also think she's so so staying up at Midnight and Thinking About Things. I think I have to go with Midnights, just because she's so Anti-Hero/Yoyok/Midnight Rain/Dear Reader and I think Bejeweled kind of captures the 1989 vibes but in a way that's even more cunty? I have also said one of her favorite pastimes is vandalism, so Vigilante Shit just feels right.

Top Five Songs (not on Midnights) that make me think of her in no particular order:

  1. The Bolter
  2. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me
  3. New Romantics
  4. Ready for It
  5. The Archer (holding all of The Archer characters so so close)

This was so difficult when trying not to include songs that make me think of the romance specifically. Honorable mentions for that go to Renegade (I know this is a Taylor feature but idc it's Them) and Delicate.

Ok, we already know Cyri's best sex has been Davrin OF COURSE, we already know various other things too, so I'm gonna ask: Riding St George and Unwrapping for the NSFW Asks :)

Yes OBVIOUSLY best sex is Davrin, no more questions that's the only one that matters 🥰🥰

NSFW Asks is anyone is interested (:

Riding St George: What’s the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to Rook during the act?

This is actually so tough because I don't think Cyri is one to get embarrassed easily? She's absolutely been caught before (more than once) but I don't think she finds that very embarrassing. It's just kind of a fact of life when you're living in a barracks/mutual living situation in her mind.

However, there was absolutely a time in which she and Ashur were in the midst of their Thing (it's very confusing and so unspoken/unofficial that I can barely call it a situationship) and he does accidentally catch her with someone else which causes ah...some drama and is also mortifying (not that she admits it). They argue about it kind of publicly instead. Arguably more embarrassing.

I also think that at least once after the events of Veilguard she does randomly burst into tears during The Act. Which probably isn't that embarrassing for anyone else, but this is Cyri and we know how she is about feelings/: and it's not like a sexy few 'we made it' tears it's like a full breakdown. (Davrin is, of course, very kind about this. He does laugh a little, but it's sweet)

Unwrapping: Pro or anti lingerie?

Pro. She absolutely saves it though, not necessarily for special occasions but just so it's rare enough to keep Davrin on his toes.

Bang and boink for the nsfw asks

Bang: If Rook was going to post to any nsfw subreddit, what one would get them the most upvotes?

(I did have to look up a list of subreddits for this)

r/tinytits maybe, because that's my girl. Alternatively r/notsafefornature they have done it in the woods 1.5 times. And whose to say it wouldn't happen again?

Boink: What nsfw tag is your Rook following?

I'm going to be so honest and say I don't have any idea? (mostly because I couldn't look up a list of these like I did with the subreddits) I'm too scared of creating a tag and then finding out that's not what it means.

Alternatively I'll tell you that I think she's curious about pegging. Never done it, but I think she learns of this from Neve and never lets it go (Davrin is so down).

So if that's a tag, she's following it for research ;)

Chewing on the fact Davrin is writing his book to save other people's lives. Like he got those scars trying and failing the techniques in other bestiaries. At some point he decided his legacy as a Grey Warden wasn't just to sacrifice himself but to find a way to keep other people from getting killed from bad advice.

Planting the parsnips: Where do Rook and their VG partner have their first time?

NSFW Asks by the lovely antivan-sprig (:

Almost Arlathan forest but actually Davrin's room.

Thank you for providing me the perfect opportunity to self-promote, you can read it HERE if you'd like.

The TLDR is that these two flirted overtly for a long time, had a heated mid-battle kiss, Rook continued to resist (but not very hard) but when they kiss again, she caves so so quickly.

Veilguard Character Appreciation: Davrin

As mentioned on my Emmrich & Taash posts, this is a very self indulgent post for me to ramble about things that I appreciated about the companion characters in Veilguard. I'm planning to post one per character, loosely following the order of the Veilguard Appreciation Week prompts! Please feel free to reply or reblog with your own thoughts if you are so inclined c:

Davrin is one of the two characters that I was very excited to meet, even from the very little amount of pre-release material I saw. Suffice it to say, I am not immune to the allure of Grey Wardens, nor the allure of extremely handsome men, nor the allure of extremely handsome men with cat-bird sons, so I was super excited to meet him.

And it was funny, because as I got closer to meeting him, I was like, alright, every other character I've met so far has far exceeded my expectations. I love them all. So Davrin is going to have to be the disappointment, right? (Wrong. Very Wrong)

From his very first quest, you get a glimpse at the type of person he is - deeply passionate, deeply compassionate, and extremely self-sacrificing. The fact that in the first quest where you meet him, he reassures every griffin by name - even though he downplays himself as just the bodyguard, it's obvious how much he cares.

And he subscribes himself so fully to the Warden philosophy. This man lives and breathes In Peace, Vigilance, In War, Victory, and In Death, Sacrifice. He is so ready to die in Weisshaupt - the conversation afterwards, where your Rook can ask why it's a problem to not have died - it still gives me shivers, no matter how many times I do it.

And then there's the whole fact that he clearly is so torn on how best to raise Assan, and so passionate about his work as a monster hunter - he sees himself as a shield, as someone to stand in between innocents and danger, and it shows in everything he does. Even the fact that he wants to write his own monster manual, and carves his enemies - it shows not just a deep understanding of his enemies, but it shows a desire to teach, and to correct things that put people in danger.

The practicality of everything he does is so interesting. Like the reaction he has to all the revelations about the history of the elves - all he cares about is how it affects the elves of today if it gets out, which is such a valid take to have and really so important! He cares about advocating for the helpless.

He's also just so honest and frank with Rook. All the companions have levels of honesty, but Davrin is so up front about his past when asked? It's really refreshing - he's not afraid to say what he thinks or what he wants to, but he's also generally not an asshole about it.

I just want to give him a hug, honestly. So much of the game is him finding out all of these horrible, earth shattering things about his people's history, and the Warden's history, and the griffon's history, that I feel like he deserves it.

Alrighty I can't stay silent anymore cos this has been itching at me too much. I get it, I promise, I understand how it feels like in Coffee with the Crows Lucanis gets something sweet and thoughtful for all the companions but not for Rook. I get it. I do.

BUT!!!!!!

I don't think that's actually true. From a Watsonian perspective, I think there's two things at play here:

1.) Rook, as team leader, is The Busy One who is always running around doting on others and doesn't really have hobbies/obvious preferences like the other companions do. The only ones stated are chocolate and card games, and even then they're not very overt. It is extremely likely that Lucanis has, up to this point, been unable to clock what sort of things Rook would like.

2.) Because of the first point, I'd wager that one of the myriad reasons Lucanis invites Rook to accompany him is that he's trying to figure out what Rook likes. Unfortunately for him, Rook doesn't give any clues as to what they like while the two of them are wandering the market stalls. The first instance he gets wind of a preference is when they're at Café Pietra and Rook says what their favorite drink is, which Lucanis immediately commits to memory.

For these reasons, I think that Lucanis did in fact purchase something for Rook on that outing: the ingredients for their favorite drink. It's less obvious if Rook likes coffee, but given that Lucanis will fairly frequently offer to make Rook a cup of their favorite drink when they wander in the kitchen, I think it's clear that he purposefully made sure to keep enough coffee/tea/cocoa on hand just for Rook. THAT is his gift to Rook. He just isn't able to get it for them until after he knows what their favorite drink is. And knowing him? He probably stocks up quietly when Rook isn't there because he's not the type for grand gestures. He's a man of thankless acts of service who doesn't want attention for the nice things he does for people. He'll just quietly make sure that a steaming mug is always ready for Rook when they need it. ❤️☕

WIP Wednesday

Oh it's my favorite day of the week!

Thanks for the tag @mythals-whore

I started writing this fucking companion Davrook self indulgent modern AU to the silly Rookanis one I have bubbling in my brain.

And I outlined a five part whirlwind romance for them, so we'll see if I can actually stick to that plan.

ANYWAY

Consider this a tag to WIP your Wednesday if you haven't already (I am in bed with a minimally functioning brain rn about to fall asleep)
