Hey by the way, what basically inspired me to do my in character journal for Stellan (and over all just a lot of my choices for him) was the fic Accursed Ones of AO3.

It’s Dragon Age Awakening and Dragon Age 2 from Anders’ perspective with accompanying side stories from other characters perspectives. It’s extremely good and interesting (though I don’t agree with all the headcanons and ships). Either way, it inspired me a lot, specifically their Warden Amell. Plus throughout the story, Amell has a journal and a grimiore which we see bits and pieces of, which helped me figure out somewhat what I wanted to do for the journal.

I greatly recommend it, but know that I cried for like 20 chapters straight (30-50 I believe) and it’s still being updated. Fantastic read so far though.

(Really struggling to link it so I’m sorry, but looking up Accursed Ones by TheThirdAmell on AO3 should work)

It’s been a while since my last journal update but here it is! And it’s been a bit cause I haven’t actually written in it in a while, but it is what it is.

I’ve been having trouble linking to the previous post of this for a bit though, so if anyone has any advice on how to make this easier for people who want to see the earlier pages please let me know.

Hello one and all here are the next few pages!

This is the second set of pages, HOWEVER, the first one is also linked there.

I’m entirely unsure how to do the cool number things I see other people do. So this will work for now.

So the main thing was honestly to write something I thought could be done on the road. Doing something too convoluted would make it impossible to do at camp.

The convoluted aspect would likely be making the lyrium powder itself, but we luckily don’t have to bother with that.

Also just to be clear, my last reblog was mostly just me being lighthearted and a bit silly

instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism
