Hello! Welcome to my little corner of tumblr.

This is pretty much entirely a fandom blog, usually revolving around whatever eclectic nonsense manages to catch my attention (usually video games more often than not).

I’m typically a writer over anything else. For the curious, my AO3 account can be found here.

I'm still trying to be brave and post more about my OCs, so this list is a work in progress, and will (hopefully) be updated over time.

Baldur's Gate 3 OCs;

Alassane Erendse: character tag | fic

Dragon Age OCs;

Valentin Mercar: character tag | fic series

I’m really just here to try to actively participate in fandom and maybe make some friends.

Being asexual is actually just a constant struggle of condemning queer-baiting in media because it's a damaging and predatory practice, while also preferring those same queer-baity relationships over explicitly romance-and-fuck-on-screen couples, because queer relationships that get baited tend to express profound friendship and love in incredibly unique ways that are inherently asexual-coded

Rook Intro Hour: Bellara

Good morning, everyone! Good news: Bellara Week is coming up on @datvcompanionweeks! It will be from Thursday, April 17th - Wednesday, April 23rd!

To celebrate, today's Intro Hour will be centered around Taash!

How it works: I ask you a question about your Rook(s) and you answer it with as much brevity or verbosity as you desire. You can do this whenever you want, and I’ll reblog it + add some comments! There’s no time limit— if you want to do the older ones, they are collected here! (The post is updated on Fridays!)

Today's Question(s): What is your Rook's relationship with Bellara? What do they like about her? What do Rook and Bellara enjoy doing together? What does Rook tell Bellara to do with the Archive Spirit? Why? What does Rook think about Cyrian and the rest of Bellara's family? Lastly, if you want, write a unique banter between Bellara and your Rook!

Bellara Week! This will probably end up being a longer one.

For Valentin: could he successfully deep-fry something? Would he enjoy deep-fried food, or consider it too oily?

Oooo these are fun questions! Thank you!

He absolutely thinks he could successfully deep-fry something, and technically has the capacity and skill to do so. But Val also has a well-recorded history of getting chronically distracted while on cooking duty, so I imagine the entire Veilguard is running to stop him before he forgets what he was doing and burns the kitchen down.

There's definitely a fine line, and he's probably a little more meticulous than most about letting the oil drain off, but overall, yeah, he loves deep-fried food. He's a carb gremlin and from Minrathous, so enjoying fried fish is basically a given. Hot chips are probably the best thing that's ever happened to him.

I think so many people forget making the world a better place isn’t just about having all the ‘correct’ sociopolitical opinions and beliefs and knowing all the theory it’s also hugely about actually being a good person… everyday acts of kindness and empathy, going out of your way to help others, small moments of connection in a cold world, loving thy neighbour all that

reminded of the snark about someone who talks a big game about socialism but but won't share the load of ordinary household chores like doing the dishes

OC Vibe Game

Rules: post your OC and then 4 (or more) random pictures with no explanation to convey your characters vibe But if you do want an explanation, feel free to ask :)

Thank you @sandcastlekings and @dancing--lights for the tag!

I think everyone and their mother has been tagged in this already, so sorry in advance (and feel free to ignore) @hyperions-light, @thedissonantverses, @mythals-whore, and if you're seeing this and you've somehow never been tagged, then you as well.

Valentin Mercar

HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.

It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.

You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.

FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.

Reflection Ruesday

I'm pretty sure this was started by @becausedragonage, so credit to her for the idea. Rules: Go through your writing, art, gifs, etc. that you started but never finished and find something you love. Brush it up a bit if you want and share it. Tag me and use the tag Reflection Ruesday.

I was tagged by @antivan-sprig

It's not Tuesday but oh well. All I have to offer is the beginning of what was a little character study of sorts for my Solavellan Inquisitor during Veilguard -- really just the beginning of her first scene meeting Rook, from her perspective.

(spoiler warning for Dragon Age: the Veilguard, in case that matters)

Hi! This is a rickroll. Please visit youtube dot com, type "never gonna give you up" in the search bar, then click on the first video that comes up. Thank you for your consideration.

Describe your Tav/Durge’s personality with characters you associate them with

I was tagged by @rinwellisathing (thank you!)

I honestly have no idea who to tag, so instead I'll just leave it as open season. If you see this and want to do it, then you're tagged.

So! Alassane. It's been a while since I've talked about him, this should be interesting.

His main character inspirations are the following (I'll put explanations for each below the cut);

The scariest shit I see always comes from people who are quite confident that, being very loving, they could not be doing anything abusive.

THIS. THIS A THOUSAND TIMES. YOU CAN LOVE SOMEONE AND STILL ABUSE THEM. PEOPLE WHO ABUSE THEIR LOVED ONES DON'T AUTOMATICALLY STOP LOVING THEM. THEY HURT PEOPLE THEY LOVE. SOMETIMES IT'S BECAUSE THEY LOVE PEOPLE BUT THEIR MEAN OR SELFISH OR WHATEVER. SOMETIMES IT'S BECAUSE THEY LOVE PEOPLE BUT IT'S A TOXIC LOVE WHERE THEY OBJECTIFY OR ACT OVERLY POSSESSIVE OVER SOMEONE ELSE. THAT ALSO APPLIES TO PARENTS AND PEOPLE WHO AREN'T JUST ROMANTIC INTERESTS BTW. YOU CAN LOVE SOMEONE AND STILL ABUSE AND HURT THEM.

my OCs are sooo cool you guys don't know what you're missing. if you could see the show i'm watching in my head rn you'd go so crazy i'm telling u

This scene was so raw you guys
