Arlecchino e Pantalone 🎉

During Carnevale veneziano, the most common masks you can see children wearing are Arlecchino and Pantalone. So of course as children these two were forced to dress as them. And it's actually a chance that Illario had the mask nobody wants to wear. It's just that the last Arlecchino costume was just in Lucanis' size, I'm sure.

There are at least four portraits of this episode around Villa Dellamorte, this is one. And here you have the second made by @ndostairlyrium!

Me and @ndostairlyrium love Lucanis as a character, so we decided to share something happy about him each time we get frustrated about the Crows. There you go with #headCIANOns! <3

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

I love my spooky dad and I love all the headcanons for Ingellvars and Vorgoth helping raise them, so as a mood-lightener this week, I doodled some babby Ronan doodles for fun now that I've settled on their canon faction XD

Hope this brings you some smiles too ^_^

Hawke family fleeing the Blight

I have some thoughts on my Hawke having to deal with another Blight and keeping her family safe again. But that's too long for this post, so I'm just gonna add it to my list of Dragon Age fics that I still need to finish...

the idea of standing in between a man’s legs who’s just been in a fight and is all bruised and battered while tending to his wounds …. all while his hand (a hand that is usually rough and malicious) is gently placed on the back of your thigh, just below your ass …. he’s looking at you as if you’ve hung the moon in the sky ……….. it gets me going

Say what you will about the Varric twist in Veilguard. But the way the narration changes to Elgar’nan after the reveal made my stomach turn. Having Varric hold your hand throughout the story only for him to be ripped away from you like that made me immediately feel his absence like a stab in the chest.
