Some thoughts on Dragon Age: Blue Wraith #1, under a cut for spoilers:
(edit: fixed an error!)
I like it a lot, it’s great. Autumn is adorable and I can’t wait for the next issue
Shirallas! I love him (& his name), even tho he seems likely to be in opposition to our crew in a later issue. yayy the Dalish elf with Elgar’nan vallaslin has a name now, as confirmed by the writers..! so Fenris tried to start a group of his own after Hawke’s group scattered to the wind - unfortunately it didn’t work out and now he’s sure that he should do things alone. really curious to see more of the beef between Fenris and Shirallas play out!
my interest is piqued with the location in the second part of this issue being stated as north-west of Arlathan Forest. It makes me think elfy stuff/lore/an elfy angle is gonna happen. especially when combined with the presence of Shirallas and the Tresspasser epilogue slide which has elves leaving the Inquisition and from across Thedas in general and going off somewhere mysterious and walking into a forest. Arlathan Forest? 👀
I’m sooo here for Vaea’s "you know slavery is immoral and killing slavers is what good guys do right?" sideeye 
during Ser Aaron’s “time with the -”? with the elves/Dalish? plant magic has so far usually been the purview of Dalish elves, so if I had to hazard a guess it would be with elves? the writer has promised that one day down the line we will get to hear the rest of that sentence from Ser Aaron :D
clenches fist  Clan Boranehn gifted Vaea her horse omg.. my heart is gonna explode.. her naming him Da’len because it’s what her uncle used to call her and she inferred that it’s an affectionate pet name... it’s gonna explode twice..
also, Vaea naming her horse Da'len despite not knowing what it means exactly reminds me of the Solas/Sera banter where Solas tells Sera that their People can sometimes feel the rhythm of the elvhen language, despite lacking the vocabulary.
you know the Dalish All-Bred mount in DA:I? I was actually never sure if it was an oversight (being a horse not a halla or a hart), intended (as in Dalish also raise horses as well as halla) or whether the “Dalish” part simply meant a breed originating in the modern-day region of the Dales, maybe bred by the humans who now live there or something. it’s nice therefore to see confirmation that Dalish do indeed also keep and raise horses as well as halla, and that the breed’s origin is indeed from Dalish elves.
also the writer confirmed Da’Len is a Dalish All-Bred and mentioned also that Ser Aaron’s horse Cassé is an Orlesian Courser. I LOVE this attention to detail and to lore the writers have :)
& some theory-ing... is the coffin-like thing the thing or the same kind of thing that Danarius used to brand Fenris back when? the caravan with the coffin-thing is heading to Castellum Tenebris, where a different member of House Danarius - Danarius’ son, given by what Cedric Marquette says to a character about “your Master’s father in years past” - wants to repeat the process on other elves, only this time they are gonna use red lyrium for the process instead because it’s more powerful, and that’s where the red lyrium comes in.

it’s unlikely i’ll ever write this au out as a fic because it would require me to..... uh..... write a Plot lmao........ but i’ve been thinking a lot about what would happen between solas and eludysia if a child came into the mix, and they only knew post-corypheus. so have some hcs before i go nuts. under the cut for length:
cole is the first in the inner circle to find out. because it’s cole. he senses something is wrong and reads her. it be like that sometimes. he knows she’s fearful and tells her she’d be a good mother, but also asks her why she’s uncertain about wanting the child. 
she says it’s because she “doesn’t know if she could protect it.” which. you know. Valid. she’s the inquisitor and people have died. including clan lavellan. it’s a sheer miracle that nothing has already happened to the life inside her. ultimately, though, she does already love the child, because it’s hers.
josie is the next to know. she immediately writes to a newly-coronated leliana and they up resources dedicated to finding out where solas is. ‘dysia, at this point, feels like he has the right to know, but it’s his choice to come back and acknowledge the baby as his.
josie also sends word to ‘dysia’s childhood bff, laleal — who, i’ll add, jokingly volunteered to be the other parent in solas’ stead asgjfashdas. she’s messy and we stan her.
sera, cass, dorian, blackwall and cullen fuss over ‘dysia 24/7. bull, thankfully, figures out that doing so increases her stress and discomfort. it’s cute. the entire affair is CUTE.
laleal, cass, dorian, and sera also give ‘dysia an entire list of how they’d hurt solas when he returns. (meanwhile, she’s internally like, “this is why cole and josie knew before you did.”)
varric is back in kirkwall and viv is back in court, but they use their powers and connections to help with the search, and visit once the baby is born.
solas finds out from one of his spies in the inquisition. and he just. he knows. but he questions said spy like he doesn’t anyway. (”how far along is she? do you know who the father is?”) dumbass.
‘dysia is like. 4-5 months along by the time solas comes around. the first thing she says to him is, “it’s yours.” the first thing he says to her is, “i know.” because there’s so much to say that they don’t know how to say what they need to. dumbasses.
solas doesn’t tell ‘dysia everything immediately. he tells her where his whereabouts were and that he was searching for Something(tm), then promises he’ll tell her everything else after their child arrives. 
i genuinely think he’d still consider tearing down the veil, even though it means certain destruction. he just weighs the options more as “what kind of world do i want my child to live in?” 
the birth itself is gruesome and taxing, but ‘dysia gives birth to a baby girl who has her eyes and nose, solas’ mouth and dark brown hair. they name her arlise’el — “that which gives our home or life warmth.”
when solas finally, finally reveals everything...... ‘dysia is upset. reasonably. she doesn’t kick him out or anything like that. just asks for time to process. like.... all that time and all those lives taken as a result of his actions.... 
anyway. this was a lot. their kiddo is adorable tho. she instantly has everyone wrapped around her little finger and it’s the BEST.

tagged by: @falkreathh thank you!!  sorry for doing this so much later u_u’ tagging: whoever wants to!! (◡‿◡✿) 1. favourite game in the series ok... i don’t know if you already figured it out but my total fave is dao. why? maybe is the nostalgic feelings this game gives me or... i played it so many mcfucking times that i just get this hollow feeling inside my chest when i haven’t played it for weeks... idk. the trespasser dlc was spectacular too and gave my lavellan a lot of personality (what i thought the dai base game lacked, bc it made me feel like my inquisitor was an empty shell with no personality, solas’ romance save the dai base game to me tbqh). but... you can create such complex personalities in dao for your warden, and the relationships are so so realistic. i think (dao) is neat lmao. 
2. how did you discover dragon age? before being a dragon age fan i was a dark souls fan; i breath dark souls, i read dark souls, i ate dark souls, i was quite obsessed with dark souls, and before dark souls i was an obsessed skyrim fan (oNLY SKYRIM, not the previous games ashdgjasdgh) and with skyrim that was the first time i made video game oc's, like... they had such complex personalities and i cannot make complex character now... aNYWAY i'm getting carried away: i knew dragon age bc dai was being lunched and ALL the people i followed reblogged stuff about dai, and then i bought dao and loved it!! 
3. how many times have you played the games? hfgsdjfhsjfshd fffUCKKKK SHITT... alright... many mANY TIMES, but how many times i haven't finished my game?? countless times!! i think i finished fINISHED dao maybe... pls don't laugh at me... 10+ times. yes they are so so so many times, shame on me! shame on my cow! blah blah, but i lOVE dao. da2 maybe.... 3-4 times? and dai 6 times?? it's funny bc i played dao and da2 in many different ways but dai... m8, always the same, fuck you solas sdhfjdshjsdf 4. favourite race to play? qUNARIIIII!!! i lOVE tieflings so.. i obviously love the qunari too, but in the dai the first race i chose was qunari but then i talked to solas and i was like... bITCHHHHH i'm gonna create an elf to romance this egg, and then... my canon inky became an elf lol. and last favourite race are humans... ok don't hate me, it's not bc they are """boring""" or shit like that, it's bc they are the upper-class of thedas and i LOVE the "from zero to hero" trope... so... yeah agfshsdfhj 5. favourite class? mages!! bc i love the lore behind this class, it's fantastic, precisely blood magic. but if i didn't care about this, i would choose archer, tho in the first games it sucked but in dai is pretty cool :^) 6. do you play through the games differently or do you make the same decisions each time? as i've said before i have made many different decisions in dao and da2 but in dai are always the same lol 7. go-to adventuring group? origins: alistair/sten, morrigan, zev/leliana da2: aveline, anders, isabela/varric dai: solas, cassandra, cole/sera 8. which of your characters did you put the most thought into? i think prim/anika??(they're the same but one is a human and the other an elf lmaoo), she was my first da oc, and obviously the one i put most thought into bc i uSED to have a lot of creativity some years ago, what a pity my brain is useless now lmao 9. favourite romance? pfffff... solas, alistair, leli and cass!! i think?? idk i gotta play again dai bc i'm not sure :/ 10. have you read any of the comics/books? i've read aLL the books but not the comics :/, i want to read the comics but idk where i could read them online and free (sorry i'm poor lol), so... mi gozo en un pozo lmao 11. if you read them, which was your favourite book? my fav book was "the masked empire"!! patrick weekes is a good writer and i loved the orlesian politics, and i adored seeing these characters in dai! (tho briala was whitewashed lmao) 12. favourite DLCs? obviously: awakening and trespasser. these two dlc's were mcfUCKING AMAZING. i mean, with dao i expected the same quality of the base game, but trespasser was such an excelent and good experience, it gave a lot of insight to our inquisitors and also: sOOULASSSSS, so yep! i mainly lOVED trespasser and i hope weekes guides the team to make a game at least as good as this dlc! (tho, if ea is a greedy bintch this time [as always lol] it doesn't matter how many times the bioware time tries, ea will force them to do a shitty game :/) 13. things that annoy you how viv, anders and sera are written, i mean, i loved anders the first time i played da2 but his personality is obviously written to annoy the fuck outta you, tho i loved how he expressed his ideals freely (tho sometimes he even seemed too traidtional to me about topics like blood magic :/), but sera and viv were a lil harder to befriend and like, and i still don't like much viv, but i love her as a character, y'kno 14. orlais or ferelden? tbh, if i gotta live in one of those two places i would choose ferelden by fAR. but, now, if we're talking about which is more interesting; orlais. 15. templars or mages? like @/blckwall said: all templars are bastards :). i would love if thedas had independent magic schools, that there were no higher representatives or charges, that every village or city had its own magic school, and the crown would be the responsable of manage its needs. i haven't thought much about this so my thoughts are quite vague :/ 16. if you have multiple characters, are they in different/parallel universes or in the same one? they're from different universes, tho i'd love the idea of all of them being in the same universe, but some worlds states are incompatible with others. 17. what did you name your pets? (mabari, summoned animals, mounts, etc) in dao: barkspawn (i'm extremelly predictable, sorry u_u') 18. have you installed any mods? all my dragon age games are modded as fUCK. i mean, i think dao is the most heavy modded game i have?? (mainly bc i cannot install many mods in skyrim lol) but when i have my gaming computer again i will mod the shit out of dai >:) 19. did your warden want to become a grey warden? prim had been working in the circle her entire live to be in the higher ranks, and then she saw how all her work was lost made her really conflicted: she didn't wanted to leave bc she yearned to be more powerful and make the circle a better place for mages (yep, she's deeply anti-circle bc of her traumatic past), and she was going to die if she refused duncan's offer. even so, she was never sorry for supporting jowan. and, she became the king of ferelden's mistress; she loved him obv, but she could also take some advantage of his power to make the mages and marginalize people's situation better, and gain fortune by that; alistair was well aware about her plans by prim's words herself, but he never objected. altho the main cause prim made alistair king is bc she wanted him to have a good life and not waste it as a grey warden, so... anyway, i got acrried away... this is long af ghdjsdgf 20. hawke’s personality? red mostly, tho he used to be purple/red in the first and begining of the second act :/ 21. did you make matching armor for your companions in inquisition? yes i did!! i lOVED to be fashionable in dragon age instyle!! 22. if your character(s) could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change? prim : she would have tried to convince jowan and wait some months until she could convince him. also: sometimes she wishes she didn't make alistair king, mostly bc of her daughter (her daughter is the only heir to the throne of ferelden, and basically she doesn't even know that prim is her real mother, mostly bc anora adopted her bc alistair and she couldn't have children), sometimes, in her alone saddest times, thinks how things would have been if alistair was still a grey warden, they would have a happy family and wouldn't even had to hide inofensive stuff like a cheek kiss. but anyway, her duties as a grey warden are more important and doesn't have time to think about it. garrett hawke: he regrets not defending carver, he would have prefered to sacrifice himself instead of any of his siblings. he also regrets going to the deep roads with bethany, letting the grey wardens make her one of them (obv he doesn't know that if he didn't she would have joined the circle lmao). and obv her mother's death... if he had been there, with her mother, he could have done something... :'/ maia: she regrets not being strong enough when that shem tried to hurt her when she was a litte girl, that made her mother kill him to save her bc she was too defenseless, she should have been stronger, that caused her mother and she part ways, because now maia's mother was a criminal and she had more proabilities of getting caught, so maia should go on her way and find the next village, but she found the lavellan clan. she deeply regrets not going after her mother. she also think she was too stupid to not found out the true identity of solas and try to convince him that this world has meaning :'/ 23. do you have any headcanons about your character(s) that go against canon? mmmm... no? :/, i like my decisions to have consequences?? 24. are any of your characters based on someone? sahgdashsd pls don't make fun of me but in the first stage of prim's/anika's 'personality creation' was inspired by mother gothel, then she was inspired by...... mikasa ackerman dsfgdjsdf, i'm still inspired by that character tHO i know that shingeki no kyojin is nazi propaganda and i no longer watch that anime lmao. maia is inspired by... a mix of me and rapunzel (from tangled)?? she's basically a shy rapunzel :') 25. who did you leave in the fade? some of you will hate me bc i had to choose between hawke and stroud but i still chose hawke dsfgsdf. m8, hawke is just a 'figure' who isn't widely recognized in thedas, while the grey warden are 394789x more useful, idk i always put myself in the shoes of my characters even if their decisions hurt me (tho, tbqh, i'm not tHAT attached to hawke so this choice was easy lol) 26. favourite mount? royal sixteen!! she's so pretty!! ♡♡♡ thanks for tagging me!! ♡♡

@virassxn actual bae and has been with me on this blog from the start omg it’s been over a year that’s crazy bUT. i have so many great memories with you, gaby. and i think about the very first time we interacted and discussed cullen and cyrran pretending to be an item to get girls off of cullen at the ball and it turning into this HUGE DEBACLE of gossip bUT. look at our boys now. :’ ) one year. still NO SMOOCHES -side-eyes cullen- bUT SOON. ilu and i love cyrran okay. you two are so important to me and help reel me back into this blog when i wander off. i know things are rough for you rn--STICK IT OUT <3 i believe in you and can’t wait to see more of you on my dash when time permits
@winterfollows omygosh you’ve been around here for awhile too gdjangona i think our first interaction was when cyrran was being an impish little shit to cullen and hal weighed in on the situation for prime cullen fussiness. but adfjhnoga i’ve adored hal from the beginning and then getting to chat ooc?? you are a dELIGHT okay i’m so happy we talk fairly regularly now. not to mENTION the new depth of our roleplay partnership now that i have my solas sideblog screaMSSS i’m so flattered you were so supportive of my solas and now we’re writing them together and i’m having so much fun just ahhhh you are such a great person ty i love writing ANYTHING with you <3
@re-no VikAAAA it’s been awhile fsjgonaho but i am always so thrilled to see you on my dash and poke my nose into what you’re doing :’ D you have been such a huge inspiration to me and my cullen and any interaction we’ve ever had has always been a treat just jnadhgoha i may or may not follow you on ever blog i make bc i just love having you around. you are so sweet and so talented and tBH i know embarrassingly little about ff but i still just adore reno and how you write him ugh. you are a gift.
@fendeurs + @moralbirthright so you two kinda?? adopted me?? apparently! i’m still a mix of flattered and just downright honored by it because the two of you are sUCH wonderful writers who understand your characters so well; it’s INSANELY inspiring okay!! I’ve not had the pleasure of chatting with elise, yet, bUT you’re brought up in conversation a lot and you seem so nice fdjahngonhao indra has been an absolute pleasure to talk to and i’ve only interacted with the both of you IC a little so far, but just gOSH i love. i love seeing your writing on my dash and just am in awe of how much love and passion go into your characters jeez. i super look forward to more writing from you two in the future and am still just dumbfounded that i’ve been welcomed into your arms so lovingly!! thank you! <3
@neverarhyme jELLYYYY the rp partner who sticks with me even when i take 5ever or drop threads or offer subpar replies that give little to respond to. IT YOU. honestly tho i am so glad you are as assertive as you are with all of my blogs and our interactions; i can always count on you to reach out with a meme to get the ball rolling when i’m twiddling my thumbs. i’ve loved what we’ve written together so far and am always happy to see you in my inbox. our muses have very conflicting views and personality types that have made interaction so interesting thus far--cULLEN HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO THINK OF HER OKAY. we’ll see where our threads take us~

RP POSITIVITY MEME
DAY 14: FREE DAY!
so this whole week i’ve kept myself from mentioning joly when possible. i promo joly on my dash every day. my very existence is a joly promo. it was mostly a way to make sure that i gave other people attention, and also b/c i saw the last day was a free day and wanted to use it to write about how much i love joly’s characters.
if it weren’t for joly i doubt i’d still be here. that’s not to say that i didn’t love rping solas beyond what i have with joly, but after my hiatus it was the desire to rp with joly again that really brought me back. and i’m so thankful for that b/c it’s allowed me to meet ppl like merc and lisa and kae, ppl who either weren’t around or i didn’t know before. also just when i was having a rough time last year and whenever i’ve had a rough time since then joly’s been there for me. they’re a really special person, who deserves even more kind words written about them than their characters do. but if i keep going i’ll probably make myself cry.
suffice to say if you like my blog, then you have joly to thank. not just for me being here, but how their ocs have shaped my solas. i cannot recommend joly’s blogs enough. they don’t have as much time as they did to write, but it doesn’t make them any less dedicated to their characters as someone who posts a dozen things a day.
before i get to their actual blogs, i want to talk about the npcs or characters that no longer have rp blogs.
first, deshanna. i’ve loved how they made a mother who is flawed and sympathetic, and who i don’t feel 100% good about solas disliking her in modern. it’s my secret desire to be able to rp in a thread where she’s npc’d one day, either in modern or batb. next, layne. what a piece of shit. i don’t know TOO much about layne, and i’m in this position where i want to know more but also i dread it. hoping one day solas and mio can shank him. and then, june. june had a blog (and may again one day??) and he was a fuckin hermit mamma’s boy that was too boring for fen to want to have anything to do with. joly’s recently been toying with some ideas for his character that i think only strengthen what they have, and i’m excited.
@ancientimpudence -
mio is petty. mio is mean. mio is stand-offish. mio is loyal. mio is driven. mio is honest. i love mio.
if you want a character who is flawed and not always nice, you’ll love mio. they’re a really good example of how you can make a character not always be a very pleasant person, but still get plenty of rp mileage off of them and develop meaningful relationships. how two characters’ relationship can somehow be incredibly deep and yet broken. i love what joly and i have built for mio and solas, two ancient friends who aren’t always the best friends.
i could really talk about about their relationship. solas goes through a period where he becomes very empathetic and in-tune with the problems of everyone around him, but mio’s somehow always escape him. i love the gap, and i love how it’s both not his fault b/c mio hides how they feel, but also he needs to do better by them. i love how mio wants what’s best for solas and their cause, while simultaneously suggesting things that actually wouldn’t be best for solas, because mio isn’t omnipotent and is also, to an extent, still trying to keep solas as he was.
i love how mio doesn’t like ian but is still there to help him. i love how mio expresses themself in ways not everyone understands. i love how modern mio has purse dogs and brings vher food b/c they spent all weekend playing the sims.
and vher / mio?? one of those ships that just kinda happened. one of the best things about talking to joly about characters is how often two just kinda cling to one another. vher is aro and can’t return the romantic feelings mio feels for them (and open enough to be accepting when mio finds romantic love elsewhere) but they still care for mio so much. everything about mio that i listed above, even the petty and vain stuff, vher loves. also sometims vher decides they wanna kiss mio and i can only imagine what it does to the poor child.
basically, what i’m getting at here is, joly lets mio be flawed but also shows how those flaws can still lead to positive interactions. joly lets mio be unadmirable at times, but still likeable and lovable. joly introduced some extra diversity in background to the rebellion and i’m eternally thankful tbh.

harding is one of those characters everyone adores, and so it makes sense that joly, one of the most adorable ppl on the planet, chose to write her. i love seeing characters with stable and normal backstories. harding is just such a steady influence, and i’ve loved seeing her contrasted with the sad backstories most canons and ocs possess. which i wanna be clear isn’t a criticism of sad backstories! i merely mean that it’s also nice seeing variety. not everyone has had a past that has made them cruel or kind, some people were raised by caring parents and lived simple lives until they heard the call to adventure. those people are just as interesting and worthy of telling stories about.
joly’s harding reminds me somewhat of tolkien’s hobbits, i suppose, now that i’m writing this out. and they’re some of my fave characters in literature. only w/ harding we also get fun dragon age dwarfy lore-- someone who is as un-dwarfy as varric but not quite so loud about it and we get actual queer representation.
@spiritualjourneys​ - 
i adore spirits? i do not adore how the fandom treats spirits. things like treating human cole as superior to spirit cole, rather than a person making different choices, both paths making them happy, even if one is for reasons we can’t all understand. pinning everything wrong with anders in da2 on justice. assuming lord woolsey, an innocent spirit-ram who has done nothing but help, has always been a rage demon (even tho the ways in which he has been shown to help the family that adopted him aren’t typical rage-related qualities) but ANYWAY.
the point is, spirits are given something of a raw deal by the fandom and are almost always judged by their ability to conform to human standards. joly’s spirit multi is fuckin fantastic and making spirits different and complex and alien, while also familiar and very much people rather than set pieces in the stories of others. though all of them started out as npcs created by either joly (love, sincerity), myself (joy), or bioware (wisdom) it took joly no time at all to establish their stories. love and joy especially...
what i appreciate about love is the path they took to get where they are. how they weren’t always love, how they focus upon a specific kind of love, how they can’t always see when love is best working past. though i’ve only just started rping peace, i’m in love (get it) with the dynamic the two of them have formed. how they balance one another out and keep one another from straying too far into their own interests, and thereby corrupting themselves. it’s a dynamic that i wasn’t expecting at all when i made peace as an au to my zenyatta blog, but i think that’s the amazing thing about writing with joly. something falls into place and then it grabs you and the idea just won’t let go.
and as for joy, it’s probably the least developed of the spirits, having no form that’s recognisably alive nevermind a person. but it demonstrates well, i think, how “humanity” in elvhenan wasn’t defined by shape. when solas says he dislikes when people see him as just a pair of pointed ears, and that he doesn’t necessarily identify much with modern elves, the idea is expressing multiple things. one of them, i think, is that being an elf sometimes meant being a physical body with pointed ears, but sometimes you could just be bubbles and you’d still be considered a valid member of elvhen society. joy doesn’t exist as we do. joy forgets, joy prefers to never touch the earth, and it exists in a state of cycles to keep itself from becoming something like despair. joly depicts the beauty and the drawbacks of existing in this state and i’m just??? so glad they decided to write joy. b/c they do it more justice than i ever could.
@paragoninexile -
tam’s new blog isn’t fully set up but i wanna talk about her anyway. tam is a good hero and a good person, and in many ways sort of made to be a hero. when i found out about tam i was rly excited simply b/c she was very much like my warden, only with so much more care and thought put into her that now she’s basically replaced my canon warden in my heart.
i think my favourite thing about tam is how much of a front she puts up for everyone. crowning bhelen, even if it meant the death of another father figure. recruiting loghain, even if it meant losing her friend or possibly lover. it shows that even neutral good heroes still have to make decisions that could be considered ruthlessly practical. bhelen is not necessarily the better choice morally, especially not as an aeducan (especially especially not as an aeducan who doesn’t kill trian). i imagine tam knows that crowning him will have dire consequences not just for harrowmont, but the entire harrowmont line. she does it anyway, not because she wants to, but because for orzammar it’s the best choice.
i’ve loved finally having a chance to write one of my fave dragon age ships: gorim/aeducan. i have a weakness for ships who have been together since they were only young, and the progression they take in the au is so good?? being able to find freedom for their love in a life that is literally killing tamar, and the reason they only get 12 or so happy years together rather than 50. but tam is so good that i’m honestly proud to be able to give her those twelve years with gorim. one day i’m gonna make joly hurt w/ thoughts about the kid gorim adopts after tam dies and who he tells them all about. 8)
@cadashsmash -
cadri i think was the first joly character i interacted with, though i believe i remember ian from way way back when i tried rping merrill and couldn’t quite get a foothold like i did with solas and thora.
i’m in love with dwarves u all should know this, so ofc i’m in love with cadri. i love how rough around the edges she is, how she tries to do the right thing, and how doing so can lead to some messed up shit like killing abelas. the work joly’s done with reaver lore is perfect, working with how dirty and raw the specialisation is without making it too hardcore for an inquisitor to ever hope to specialise in it (stop assuming all reavers are cannibals fandom smh). one of my fave threads on thora continues to be the post-battle thread where both are recovering from the drawbacks of their own specialisations and clash because of them. it’s just a really unique idea that is what makes writing with joly so... rounded? like i’m never just writing one thing with joly. they push me as a writer in the best possible way.
overall cadri is just a rly excellent character who, like tam and harding, do credit to dwarves that the series doesn’t always. i’ve loved exploring how differently her and thora react to their position in life, i’ve loved seeing cadri’s anger or indifference towards dwarven society. it’s so valid and realistic and good. i’ve loved exploring the specific ways in which she bucks the presumptions solas has about dwarves, how even in universes where she’s not inquisitor her individuality is still nothing he expects from her kind and how she changes him anyway. i also will always be fond of this being their friendship song.
cadri: hey solas, what d’you call a flower before it opens? solas: a bud. cadri: I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CALL ME BUD. solas: UGHH.
@dalishfreckles -
it’s really hard to not write a post just about ian, honestly. all of joly’s characters are special to me, but i won’t deny ian is my favourite and has a very important place in my heart. if i were to truthfully answer those top 5 fave characters questions, ian would be on there no question.
as someone who goes through some of the same struggles as ian, he’s inspirational. seeing him struggle to keep surviving, to keep loving, to keep helping even when everything inside him is screaming to stop. i love seeing him make mistakes, honest ones or ones born of anxiety. b/c anxiety is more than just hating yourself or having trouble talking to people, although that is very real. sometimes anxiety can cause you to project some really terrible things onto people, things that aren’t really fair to them.
when i see ian doing things like... projecting his own feelings of worthlessness onto solas, assuming he must think the same rather than giving solas a chance to explain? it’s realistic, and it’s not good. it’s trying to pull people into the same destructive game you do to yourself. it’s also realistic, esp since in the thread i’m referring to solas fucked up and has shit to apologise for. idk, it’s just really comforting to see ian pull the same shit that i do, but knowing he’s still a good person and that i love him is an act of self love.
ian’s an important character for so many reasons, that i could probably write a 20 page thesis on him and his development / how much he means to me. i’m proud of him so much. i’m proud when he finds the strength to tease solas, i’m proud when he stands up for himself, even when he’s standing up against the people he loves. especially when, tbh. how as he grows he can see inara’s faults but doesn’t hate her for them, and tries to help her, when he’s under no obligation to. how he still tries to connect with solas after solas coldly brushes him off the first time ian admonishes him. and i love how joly shows it’s not easy. none of it is. and that ian has to keep choosing to be good, it makes everything he does that much more meaningful.
finally, ian isn’t a hero, necessarily. he’s not the sort of person people tell stories about, which is one reason i love the solas/ian pairing so much. it’s really all about the person for solas, and ian is just so much about what solas loves about people. it’s not always about battles and heroes, sometimes it’s just about a person who has the patience and love in them to make a tree grow in the middle of a desert alienage. sometimes the most wonderful things about people are the little, radical things they do for themselves and those they love rather than how they change the world.
this has gotten to be very long, and probably rambling, but to be fair to me this is like two weeks of joly-positivity i’ve been holding in.
i’ll probably be doing one more free day tomorrow, even if today is the last day, just to do a v general positive post for those i follow. but i wanted to take at least one day to credit the person who has inspired me with their words and characters. like. this was just their characters? i didn’t even get a chance to go into the ways joly’s prose shines, how it’s descriptive and yet never difficult to comprehend. how many different types of plots they’re here for.
but to make a long story short, joly is an incredibly talented writer. i’ve said this before, but i can look back on things i’ve written years ago with joly and still like what i wrote (as well as what they wrote but that should go w/o saying), which is a rare feeling, simply b/c joly lets me access the best writer in me. we often here in the rpc use “muse” as a shorthand for “character we write that inspires us” and i’ve found it a difficult word to rly use-- simply b/c joly and their characters are as much my muses as my own characters. at least in the sense that thinking about them inspires me to write.
tl;dr- pls follow and write with joly. b/c the only thing i love as much as writing with joly is reading what they write with other people.

I absolutely love half-elves and Roslyn seems like a total sweetheart so if you don't mind! 🌹🌻🌺🌼 from the soft asks meme if it's not too much trouble!
omg 🥺 !!!!!!! ofc it’s not too much trouble it never is thank u for askin abt her and thank u for liking roslyn too
🌹 where in the world does your OC feel most at home? is there any reason why? if it’s not the place they were born, where were they born? is there a certain somebody that makes them feel at home where ever they may be? what does home mean to them?
roslyn is never gonna see the place she feels most at home again and that makes me sad. but! it’s called westgrove, and it’s her father’s estate; she was born there with very little fanfare. (another of her cousins, odanna, had been born only a couple days earlier, so the whole trevelyan clan was celebrating a legitimate baby while roslyn was screaming her way into the world.) it’s an olive farm, technically, but none of the family itself does any farming; everything’s harvested by workers. it’s out of the main city, too, and kind of far away from the closest village; it’s the place of roslyn’s childhood, so she thinks of leaves and mud and sunshine every time she remembers it.
home, to roslyn, is softness and freedom. she found something similar w solas, i think, just bcos he felt? safe? and free? she always felt very comfortable w him. she still does, in a way; even knowing what she does now, she thinks of him and misses home. it’s v v sad
🌻 what little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? what tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?
on a larger scale, it’s the inherent goodness of people that makes roslyn happy. early on in the game, shes very happy w all the people like corporal vale who are trying to help the refugees, for example. it’s like……. shes been seeing the worst of people, arguably, for the last ten years, but seeing that there are still good people in the world, people who try to help, inspires her. cole’s one of her bffs of all time for this reason; they adore each other, bcos they’re two helpful people who look at suffering and cant bear it, they have to do something abt it, and they like seeing that reflected in each other
but littler things do too. kids playing swordfight in the yard, or maids teasing each other. the devotion that that dude in redcliffe shows his dead wife, asking for flowers to be brought to her grave even now, and having brought flowers to her grave in the past himself. it’s just….. people. shes very different from solas in that people have always felt real to her, real living beings with their own lives and little tics and thoughts and dreams etc etc. it’s why shes as compassionate as she is
🌺 what does your OC do to calm down when they’re scared or after a nightmare? do they have any special comfort items or need to be reassured by a specific person? how do they handle this if they’re alone?
oh phew roslyn doesnt sleep for a long time after haven bcos of her nightmares. but she likes to read to calm herself down. anything, rly. she’s re-read the tale of the champion so many times; when she meets varric, she has a total freakout. this isn’t quite the same, but given the nature of her upbringing (she was basically raised as tho she was a legitimate trevelyan by her father), when she needs to immediately distract herself, she goes through the steps of various popular ballroom dances in her head. sometimes u’ll catch her unconsciously doing them in small movements, usually in her chambers.
reassurance is always good for her, tho. from anyone, rly. she needs to feel as tho shes doing the right thing, shes being a good person, shes doing her best, her fears are valid but untrue, so if anyone acknowledges that, shes immediately like uwu. but she’s so used to being alone that her main coping mechanisms are ones she can do alone
🌼 who are this characters friends and found family? how did they meet, how long have they been friends for, could they ever be something more than just friends? what do they look for in a friend or a romantic partner?
ok i have a lot of feelings abt roslyn and dorian. they’re very distantly related, but both on very bad terms w their immediate family, so they kind of adopt and cling to each other like ‘YOU are my family, i have u, i dont need the rest’. they rly do treasure each other a lot — they’re like twins, almost? both funny, both bookish, both soft and wounded underneath. 
apart from him, tho, sera and solas also feel like family to her. for very different reasons, obviously. but sera and roslyn understand each other, bcos roslyn used to be a servant and knows how much nobility fucking sucks, and bcos they both have a lot of confusion over elves and elven culture etc etc. solas and roslyn are just like……. rly fucking good friends, honestly. even before anything gets Romantic they rly value each other’s opinions etc, and they talk so much about so much, always pushing each other to ask questions and consider the world around them. which is why shes so broken up abt the ‘we arent even people to u?’ thing bcos shes like darling….. beloved….. i thought u were looking at us. i thought u were looking at the world.
in friendship and romance, she looks for kindness and good humour first, but also intelligence. she wants to be able to have a good conversation w someone, most of all, and she wants a connection, bcos she’s felt so disconnected from the world for so long. shes quite unexperienced in love — i have this whole thing of like. nobles dont like her bcos shes a servant, but servants don’t like her bcos shes a noble, so before the inquisition she had like 0 friends or lovers — but she just wants someone who will be there at the end of a long, hard day. i love her…….

1)I actually thought about it a lot, how Kaaras and Isuel could've met, I think I discarded around 15 drawings before a settled on one xD So I thought maybe they could have met in the fade, maybe there was a difficult fight and Kaaras drank too many mana potions and got a fever dream in the fade xD
2)"Waking up"in the chamber half naked (or fully naked( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))With an Elf ho wanted to make him feel better?And since Isuel is a possessed mage,with spirit of love attached to him, Kaaras would be assaulted with a double amount of love( ͡♥ 3 ͡♥)
3)And you know there's not necessarily have to be sexual tension and sex (I’m more than comfortable with that tho),Isuel just wants to make Kaaras fell safe and loved, like with massage or calming food and conversation. But he would defiantly try to protect Kaaras later too, sending spirits to watch over him.
4)That idea came over me, because I really like to paint in water color and make all colors light and ethereal like the fade, but that scenario is like a cheesiest thing I’ve ever written(but a like myself some sugary fluff). I just really appreciate you and your interactions with people and your characters, cause they really gave my inspiration to start drawing again, ignore my ramble is it makes you uncomfortable though, since I’m a random person and all ❤Sorry about all these asks❤
// So first of all, neeeeeever apologise for sending me asks and giving me ideas and telling me about your OC’s. Seriously, I know nothing about your muse/OC and I would LOVE to hear more, especially on how they could meet. Because honestly, Kaaras is ALWAYS up for meeting new people! :D
The only problem I have with this is the fact that Kaaras doesn’t use lyrium. He refuses to use the stuff. Being a qunari mage means his mana is already a lot bigger than a human’s amount (maybe only elves considering their past with magic have bigger mana pools than qunari I headcanon). Saarebas are seen as powerful mages, and I deffs headcanon that it’s because of their brute will and force, and just the advantage (and also the fact that they came from elven blood and dragons, which makes for a damn powerful combination). 
So Kaaras taking too much mana/lyrium only wouldn’t work because Kaaras doesn’t take it. :’D In saying that, he DOES dream, tho, since he’s a mage and all. :3 He also has a spirit of protection that lingers around him no thanks to his sister when they were young and having accidentally conjured one at the time. Kaaras is ENTIRELY unaware of this spirit following him, tho. He’d probably only find out via Solas or Cole, or someone who can see it. 
Buuuuut like I said before, Kaaras DOES dream, and he does fall ill (he’s not immune after all lol), so a fever dream that brings on a sexy spirit mage isn’t far fetched at all, not to mention Kaaras has quite a few sex dreams lol. I could see a returning spirit in one of them. ;)
