I saw this post and just had to remake it with my Inquisitors because it's a perfect summary of their dynamic

in my head, willow, the princess bride, and stardust all exist in the same universe.

if you have multiple wardens, choose your first/most canon/most interesting warden, whatever you want.

extra credit: when do they kill a person for the first time? How does that impact them/shape their experiences?

#yes #daren killed a man (a boy really) for the first time when he was 15 #my poor lad #daren cousland

if you have multiple hawkes, choose your first/most canon/most interesting hawke, whatever you want.

#no #gil is a pascifist and doesn’t kill anyone except in self-defense #i don't think she even kills anyone during the first year in Kirkwall #gil hawke

#it's complicated #because i have two inquisitors #magnus definitely has - he was a soldier for 15+ years #hallapan hasn't *personally* but she's been in groups that killed people #hallapan lavellan #magnus harding #magnus 'trevelyan'

Recently spent some time on the blog of someone with a very old school outlook on CRPGs, which had some extreme views I found interesting to read despite often disagreeing with the writer. One point of difference ultimately made me curious about the range of definitions in the present day on one topic, so I wanted to take it to Tumblr.

#all of the above

fascinating that when you tell people "you have to learn the rules to break them" when talking about drawing/painting etc everyone nods and agrees but the second you say "you have to read books if you want to write better" there's a horde of contrarians begging to be the wrongest people ever all of a sudden

how did you get into writing fanfiction?

So I've written fanworks here and there over the last decade, but until I got obsessed with Dragon Age it wasn't something I did regularly or devoted much time/thought to. Then Covid hit and DAO turned into my primary coping mechanism. It really was perfect catnip for me because it had the exact right mix of "gaps to fill in" and "tons of fixed boundaries". Plus, the fact that it's so choice driven (and that the choices I make are ... apparently ... uncommon) gave me a really strong outline to start with and themes that I could really dig into that the games hit with a much broader brush.

(Additionally, the thing that's kept me going all this time is definitely my beloved: FusionVerse is a love letter to her, specifically, and fixating on and continually refining it together is what gave us the tools and courage to finally confess our feelings. That's really the secret ... it's all an act of love)

describe your latest wip with five emojis

I have *so many* wips it is a genuine problem. The most recent one I worked on is not much more than a bunch of bullet points ... so I'll go with the one that I am closest to finishing (and most want to post)

🍄 and 🥐 for the writing ask game!

share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

I adore the headcanon that a Zevmancing Warden always picks up a skill or two from him, even if they aren't a rogue. If Heulwen romances him, it's combat maneuvers. If Daren romances him, it's knife work.

name one internet reference that will always make you laugh

FRE SHAVOC. ADO 📣

#the bonus secret headcanon is that daren also learns lockpicking ... but not from Zevran lmao #thanks for the ask! #ask game #please send more it's my day off
