#I could yap for HOURS

[comfortyart]

I'm really curious how Fen, Solas, and Dorian first got together. Did two of them come first and a third joined later? How did they approach the conversation?

Ok I’m sorry this will probably be long winded, rambly, also just messily written - and, despite the fact that this moment is my planned next one shot about them - there are just so many moving parts that actually lead to them getting together.

Throwing this under a break because it's so long

When they were at Haven, there was some tension between Solas and Fen. Despite Fen’s best and continued efforts, Solas is very short with him at the beginning, a lot of it relating to Fen being a grey warden. On the other hand, from the moment Fen and Dorian lock eyes, it's flirting. They make easy friends, Dorian very taken by Fen’s happy-to-help golden retriever like personality, trauma bonded by the happenings of In Hushed Whispers and easily spending a lot of time together. Leading up to Skyhold, Solas starts taking to Fen’s late night “questionings”. If Solas considers Fen uneducated, he was going to ask and learn as much as he could. It’s true he didn’t have many opportunities to get “book smart” (he is precious), but he loves to learn, and we all know how much Solas loves to embark wisdom. So there they are, every evening - and to Solas’ surprise, Fen is very responsive to his teachings. He clearly considers everything he’s told, utilizes it in making decisions moving forward, and comes back with new questions. And before long he finds himself drawn to the way Fen navigates day-to-day. Perhaps he judged too soon, I mean, Fen can be and is foolish at times, but he sees how Fen uses the knowledge he’s given, and suddenly he’s hooked.  This turns into late evenings with the three of them as they all grow closer throughout the timeline of the game. Fen enjoys watching Solas and Dorian debate, likes watching Solas paint while Dorian reads beside him on the couch. Sometimes they’re both just listening to Fen yap about darkspawn or a weird looking tree he saw earlier that day while they sit around the fire. Its not really anything particularly even intimate, though it is to them to some extent because they don’t spend much time alone with anyone else - and they all sort of become inseparable- EVEN after Fen and Solas get together.

Dorian isn’t surprised. Even in their flirting he knew Fen was taken with Solas from before they’d met. And Dorian, who had spent a lot of time alone without really anyone close to him, was content to just have two people he held dearly, even if his heart was unfortunately growing more attached by the day. He sort of feels bad about it too, they’re a couple, but he’s always there.

And then, Fen starts hearing the false calling. And by and then, I mean, he’s been hearing it for a while - but its getting worse. He is all but inconsolable one evening, and Solas and Dorian are looking at each other not sure what to do. I mean what CAN they do right? They're just as horrified. And...We can ignore the added layer of Solas and his fuck this is all in a round about way my fault situation for now LOL

Following Here lies the Abyss, Solas and Dorian are sort of high alert, a bit more attentive, not that Fen needs it, but more in a way they were woken up to how important this idiot had become to them. They felt like they could lose him to this, selfishly, ignoring what the loss of Fen could do to the world, but now horrified at the idea of losing him - generally.

And It’s not long after this, a close encounter leads Fen to a near death experience by an ambush. Dorian and Solas are so panicked they can’t leave his side, and without ever verbally asking, they’re both with each other like a crutch - now both seemingly living through the fear they were really going to lose Fen.

It was traumatic, and Solas refuses to let Dorian leave his side, like he truly believes it may break him to deal with this crushing fear alone. When Fen finally wakes, Dorian’s relief is suddenly hit with the realization that he is not to them what they are to each other. Suddenly like the world is being crushed amongst the happiness Fen isn’t dead, he is quick to say he’s sorry for always being in their space and that he’d try to give them more alone time since he didn’t want to ever take the precious time they have together away from them.

Solas shuts it down, fast. A few glances between him and Fen and it’s a confession. Fen and Solas had been falling for Dorian, and were convinced he’d want no part, and so settled to always having him in their space. It was emotional, for so many reasons, and a lot of tears, and it became impossible to tear them apart for the next fortnight.

Please talk about your OC omg! Literally anything you want to share I will eat UP! (So many of my mutuals have Bolton OCs, we love a twisted family here!!) ❤️

yesss I follow a few people with Bolton OCs as well!! the thing about Lauris is that I made her when I was around 14/15 and I'm only just now reopening all the stuff I wrote for her and trying to make her story accurate to the show rather than books (because I am a very slow reader and I can barely remember anything) plus I've just been more into the show recently. she's my personal little punching bag that I've kept in my pocket for almost 4 years now. a ton of things in her story are very dark, and I am NOT ready to put all that out on the internet yet.

overall, she's a sweetheart that definitely does not deserve the stuff I put her through. as I said in the tags of my previous post about this, she is schizophrenic, but that sort of doesn't translate well to the time period so every maester that has examined her just says she's... mad. it does make her a bit more vulnerable to manipulation (both from Roose and Ramsay throughout her story, especially surrounding the events of the Red Wedding). she was very very close to Domeric, even after he was fostered at the Vale, so his death really affected her (she was around 13/14). she was the first to accuse Ramsay of poisoning him, though her reasoning was "the rats told me" as a product of her auditory hallucinations. though she wasn't far off the mark cause I mean hello he definitely did it. anyways, as she grew increasingly paranoid and unstable, Roose decided that it was best to get her away from Ramsay as he seemed to be the main cause of it. shortly after Domeric's death, Roose decided to send Lauris to Winterfell to be fostered by the Starks. she does end up becoming A LOT happier there around kids her age/older sibling figures (Robb, Jon, Theon) who don't look like they want to kill her in her sleep. the agreement was she was supposed to stay until she turned of age (which I think is 16 in Westeros? girl idk child marriages happen all the time. it's the middle ages idk) but after Ned was appointed as Hand of the King, the best decision was to send her back to the Dreadfort. and then everything goes downhill from there :)

I do not have a faceclaim for her yet, just various pictures I've got off of pinterest for her overall vibe. I should also say that she's a horse girl cause I gotta project somehow

i just think psychology is so fucking cool. like the littlest experience or encounter can completely alter how your brain works. or, a repeating experience that occurs over many years can change how you act and react. take barty from harry potter for example. because of his father neglecting him and hunting down dark wizards, barty became one of the dark wizards and committed many horrible crimes just so his father would actually see him. another example is frank from catch me if you can (i think that’s what it’s called not sure, it has leonardo dicaprio and tom hanks). he just wanted his parents to get back together so he used his little tricks to get money to bring them back together. and when that didn’t work, he stayed in it for the thrill of the chase. if his parents couldn’t give him the attention he wanted, he figured the fbi could. like isn’t that just incredible? the inner workings of your subconscious altering your brain and either gradually changing the way you think, or rapidly. i hope to study psychology at some point just cause i think it’s so fun to pick apart what makes a person how they are and figure out their motives and the whys, it’s just amazing.

i cannot emphasize how necessary it is to have a buddy to participate in fandom with. completely elevated experience. don't have a buddy? find someone you like and message them and be their friend. gush over every sketch and drabble and insane headcanon they have. live life to the fullest.

rook and stewies relationship is so interesting to me because they’re sooo similar in many ways and experienced a lot of similar things but at two vastly different times so they each provide a different perspective into an almost shared experience. like while rook didn’t have the same exact success as stewie did during college, she had a very similar experience in regards to the sudden launch into stardom at such a young age and also having very similar approaches to how their work ethic is and how much they both crave to do great things but also stay humble. they compliment each other but also can provide alternate experiences and versions that maybe the other didn’t experience / think of in that way

How is it that you had the most amazing weekend- you saw gypsy, the outsiders, and Jason Schmidt all in the span of three days. That so freaking awesome :) /gen

I still don’t believe it was real 😭😭 because that was actually the greatest weekend of my life because like

1. Gypsy was so insanely good and I will be thinking about Kcso’s All I Need Is The Girl for the rest of my life bc omg did he devour

2. I’m never going to be normal about the outsiders and we knew this but seeing it with Aramie Dallas and Victor Soda was life changing and I could talk about every detail I remember every single time I think about that show

3. The Jason Schmidt concert sorted my brain chemistry permanently lmfao like how am I expected to be normal after hearing Gold Man and Little Blue World live

I feel like I haven't used Tumblr a lot in the brief time I've had it but boy oh boy, I do see the appeal of putting a whole 'nother post in the tags.

[jonghoswife1012]

Just to add to this, I'm so happy people agree with me! I'm loving reading people's thoughts on this!

I totally agree that Jongho is more receptive to things on his terms. I very much see him as having the temperament of a cat (a cat in a bears body 🐻)

If a cat comes to you, you can give them affection because they're showing you they're willing to receive it but if you force affection on to a cat, thr cat will run away from you or try to bite you!

Just let Jongho come to you for affection and all will be well 🥰

Well I thought it was about time I created my first post on here.

I think as Atiny's we need to talk about Choi Jongho!

I'm pretty sure my friends are all bored of hearing my Jongho rants atp so get ready, it might be a long one!

I'm so sick of seeing the assumption that Jongho hates physical touch!

Whenever I read posts or fan fiction, of which there isn't enough, I see people saying how Jongho hates being touched and how hard it is for him.

As you can see, Jongho is the one hugging Yeosang here!

And I see a lot of people say "Jongho’s only affectionate with Yeosang"

To that I say, LIES!

Hongjoong and Jongho

Seonghwa and Jongho

Yunho and Jongho

Yeosang and Jongho

San and Jongho (LOOK AT HIS SMILE! HE'S CLEARLY HAPPY!)

Mingi and Jongho

Wooyoung and Jongho

Its clear he's physically affectionate with all his members. There's been lots of times over the years when Jongho has gone to the other members for affection or reassurance.

I do think Jonghos physical affection with the members has grown over the years but Atinys opinions don't seem to have grown with him.

Yes, I agree that Jongho doesn't like being kissed! But that doesn't mean he doesn't like skinship at all.

Overall, I think people need to take more time to get to know his personality because Jongho is funny, kind, thoughtful, caring, and has a smile that cure every one.

I love Jongho a lot and obviously this post is just my opinion (so please be nice) but I thought it needed to be said.

TLDR;

Jongho is physically affectionate. I love Jongho, Ateez love Jongho, and so should you 🙂‍↕️
