Fanfics in Progress

Even Gods Need Miracles : Solas x Lavellan, Dragon Age: Inquisition era slow-burn romance

He possessed knowledge beyond any mortal, yet even the Dread Wolf could not foresee what it would mean to fall in love. He does not anticipate his connection with her. Mortal. Dalish. Not a drop of magic in her body save for his own anchor. But no one else can truly understand what it means to become a symbol quite like he does. And she, in turn, parts his layers, his trauma, his pain with gentle fingers and a curious mind. No good can come from the bond forming between them. It will likely be the ruin of them both.

When I Was Afraid to Want You : Rook x Lucanis, Dragon Age: The Veilguard slow-burn romance

It started with that coffee date...and then got immediately complicated from there. Because when you combine two disaster bisexuals who don't know how to communicate their feelings, what you get is an absolute mess. Starting from the almost-kiss and flashing back and forth in Rook and Lucanis's relationship over the course of Veilguard as they gradually try to get their shit together. More or less.

Davrin's done! Up next for a dishonored style portrait is Neve :) Emmrich | Lucanis | Neve | Bellara

You cannot tell me that Mythal wasn't being set up from ORIGINS to be the final enemy if they'd gotten to make all 5 games, the real puppetmaster all along, and I am so upset that we didn’t get that because she was well on her way to becoming a fantastic villain

The problem with liking Mythal as a character is...

On one hand you have the fandom hating her because she's a woman and Solas loved her, which some people for some reason thinks this somehow detracts from his capability of loving Lavellan???

On the other hand you have BioWare straight up forgetting that she was in fact a terrible person too. One minute they say the vallaslin were all slave markings, therefore meaning Mythal had slaves? Next minute you have Solas saying "she was the best of them" and then all of Veilguard acting like she was some benevolent poor woman caught in the middle of everything and not an active participant?

But alas if you really think about Mythal, she becomes incredibly interesting if you like complex female characters, which I am fully convinced is an accident on BioWare's part lmao...

Anyway I support women's wrongs, so

I'm kinda sad Elves don't have big eyes anymore bc one of the many reasons I love the reveal that all ancient elves used to be spirits is because Mythal, when trying to convince Solas to get a body like her, says something like "perfect in both spirit and body", implying that these spirits, when picking out their bodies, saw these big anime bug eyes and said YES, THAT

really hilarious and unsexy when hetero romantasy authors refer to love interests as males and females. you sound like david attenborough narrating a special documentary on two turtles humping in the mud

Kagome and Tessaiga

(I couldn't choose a pose)

After many many MANY many years, last week (or more at this point?) I rewatched the third Inuyasha movie.

Keeping the original post's tags below because they are so fucking right

in my heart of hearts the mythal in the crossroads is 6 feet tall, horned, decked out in armor fitting a self-appointed goddess borne from primordial war and a giant fuck-you dramatic feathered cape. it hurts to look at her directly. out of the corner of your eye you swear the shadow she casts is in the shape of a dragon. she's been stewing in resentment for so long the air just always smells like a wildfire and lightning strikes. ya'll remember the fucking puzzles in her temple? you wouldn't be able to just walk up to her and start talking to her, idc how long it's been since she's had petitioners.

if you want me to believe in the "like holding a piece of the sun" line you have to do better than the pajama-wearing default character creator template num 9 that we actually got.

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there
