Paint Me, In Another World

Nobodyhas been to the rotunda since Solas left.

She doesnot know why. Everyone has been very busy, sure, and she most of all. So manydignitaries to entertain, countless banquets to attend, and the list only keptgrowing. Savior of Thedas, they called her, Inquisitor Lavellan the Blessed.Unnerving, but she has been putting up with excessive shows of adoration sincethe days back at Haven.

But morethan that, it feels as if they are avoiding the place on purpose. Even Sera,who suggested turning it into a second cellar. Again, she can’t tell why.

Perhapsit’s because this will always be his room. He might be gone, but to her this isstill his space, his own corner in Skyhold. Maybe the others felt the same andstayed away out of respect for him – or her.

Self knowledge quiz

I was tagged by @denerim (Hey frond <3 <3 )  to take this quiz for my OCs!!

So, about Noelle Trevelyan:

AMBITION

You have a strong sense of potential and an intense drive to accomplish difficult things. The core of this is your ability to hold together the big goals and the daily efforts. Where other people’s hopes collapse when they encounter the tedium of the journey, you keep coming back. Oddly, it is actually your ability to endure feeling unheroic that counts. You know the power of working away solidly on what’s in front of you.

RATIONALITY

You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

DEFENSIVENESS

One tendency in you – which is of course normal to the human race – is to bristle when criticised, and to defend yourself when you feel under threat from aggression or blame. Defensiveness can make you conceal your less honourable motives, from others, and from yourself. The habits once made sense: they all derive from past efforts to protect yourself. And most of the time – because we don’t get much help in loving ourselves – you still need them to feel secure.

And about Elvira Hawke

NEEDINESS

Being affirmed and nurtured by others is a central requirement for you to feel safe. This means you can be slow to warm up to other people, which is difficult because what you most need from them is their warmth. Yet you know how to be vulnerable: to let down your defences and accept that you need another person. This lack of pretence is a valuable trait, and ultimately more endearing than the macho efforts others make to deny their childlike sides.

AMBITION

You have a strong sense of potential and an intense drive to accomplish difficult things. The core of this is your ability to hold together the big goals and the daily efforts. Where other people’s hopes collapse when they encounter the tedium of the journey, you keep coming back. Oddly, it is actually your ability to endure feeling unheroic that counts. You know the power of working away solidly on what’s in front of you.

PLAYFULNESS

You are good at seeing what’s funny, at relaxing and finding the pleasure of the moment. Play is random, whimsical, fantasy-driven behaviour which releases internal tension. Because it is detached from some pressures it allows you to act on weirder, perhaps neglected, parts of yourself. The downside is that it is no help in sticking with things that are not much fun but which need to be addressed. So it is well complemented by its opposite, Stoicism.

how dare you, collapse) -> Araleen, (in dreams) -> Adalina, (Silent fury) -> Delphine

It’s ok to answer these ten years later right

26. how dare [you]

She left Tamlen for dead. She took that man’s word over hers and chose to abandon him, lost and sick in the forest. And now she would abandon her too. The Keeper sold her to the Wardens and for what? To save a life that had now lost its meaning. 

How dare you, she wants to scream, you have no right!

But she says nothing.  From this moment, they are all dead to her.

21. collapse

The camp is far, far behind her. Good. She doesn’t want to see anyone.

Her breath catches on her throat. She…has been running for too long. Her feet can’t seem to carry her anymore.

Araleen drops to her knees, hiding her face in her hands. Tears well up in her eyes and she lets them fall, uncaring.

Tamlen was dead. Tamlen was dead and she killed him.

16. in dreams

Despite everything, she can still sleep easy at night. There’s plenty of work to do and lots of arrangements to be made, but at least her sleep remains undisturbed. Mostly.

He is always there, in her dreams. Every night, without fail. He never comes close, though. Or talks, for the matter. She doesn’t talk much either. 

Perhaps he is lonely. And she is happy to be with him again, even if it’s only in a dream.

She always wishes him a good day before he disappears.

7. silent fury

Sometimes keeping up her facade truly puts her patience to the test. Today seems to be one of those days. 

She thought Eamon would leave her be once Alistair was crowned and had settled into his new position. She should have known better. The man has made the palace his home, and Alistair, trusting fool that he is, is all too happy to oblige him.

She smiles and nods when the arl addresses her. A shame no one will be there to save him next time someone slips poison into his drink.

Title: Interlude Pairing: Nehn Lavellan x Cullen Rutherford Summary: A quiet moment between the Inquisitor and her husband-to-be. They are hard to come by these days. Birthday present for my beloved @elved. Χρόνια πολλά, γλυκιά μου!! 💙

How did we get here?

They have both wondered, perhaps more times than they could count. Amidst the chaos, when they were least expecting it, they found each other.

Perhaps it was luck. Or perhaps it was a promise - For you, I’ll try.

And they did try. Every day, little by little, they learned to trust each other. It was new to both of them, what they had built, and it wasn’t always easy, but it was theirs. Awkward, sometimes messy, and real.

The proposal took her by surprise. Him too, if the way he blurted out the words was anything to go by.

It was not something she had imagined for herself. To have a family of her own, to be someone’s wife… A few years ago, she would have laughed at anyone suggesting as much. But she said yes, and she had never been more certain about anything in her life.

all my life i have loved my purpose—my belonging. the Keeper let the Wardens take that from me. now that the dust has settled, i know  what i must do. i will not die an exile, choking on darkspawn blood, doomed to rot in some dwarven tunnel forsaken by every god with half a wit of sense. i will defeat the Taint, and live my own life, on my own terms, aiding those i feel deserve it.

RULES


Always repost the rules 
 Answer the questions given by the person who tagged you

1.Who are your favorite non-companion characters from each game? Origins - Flemeth and, well, I kinda liked Leske -.- DA2 - Meredith AND DULCI DE LAUNCET Inquisition - Leliana, Krem

2. Favorite game in the series and why? DA2 because I love the characters, and this games seriously feels like home

3. Favorite moment in the series? (cutscene, banter, lore, etc) Origins: The Landsmeet, Leliana’s song, every big battle scene DA2: Simply everything with Varric, (even his betrayal in Fade), Aveline’s Donnic quest, the Final Battles, Every little scene with Meredith and Orsino, also “Break. it. Down.”. The whole game, really Inq: In Hushed Whispers (yes, the whole quest), and the first hallucinations in Champions of the Just, where you are forced to watch your advisors slaying each other and then slaying you. I have problems. Halamshiral, Idk every big quest, really. 

4.What’s your favorite location? (from any of the games) The Hissing Wastes, The Fallow Mire, Winter Palace, Fade, and....well... the Hanged Man

5. Who would win in a fight- your warden, hawke, or inquisitor, and why do you say so? Not Noel (warden). She loves fighting and weapons, but her value, as she sees it, lies elsewhere. She’s cunning, charming and quite diplomatic - and also extremely good hearted. She would make the perfect queen, but she couldn’t win a fight against my other two girls. This would be a tough battle. Elvira isn’t all about winning. She loves it, but does not pursue it. She seems bloodthirsty at times, but deep down, she really hates battles. Noelle (inquisitor), on the other hand, is all about winning. It thrills her. But is she’s all about attack, then Elvira is really about defense, and then counter-attack. Noelle’s ambition and love for winning would never match Elvira’s survival insticts. If she’s to protect someone, or herself, she gives everything. She’s the survivor. It’s just..... what she does.

6. If you could be any character from the series, who would you be and why? A noble from Tevinter, sworn to Inquisition

7. Think about your favorite DA oc- why are they your favorite? Elvira and Noelle, aka Hawke and Inquisitoor Trevelyan, are my favorite. And though I do have  a soft spot for Elvira, I can’t really choose her over Noelle. They are my proud cunning sarcastic babies and I love them <3

8. Preferred party for each game? Origins - Alistair Morrigan and the third depends on the situation II - Varric Isabela and the third depends, again. But I love bringing just the girls with me, so it will be Elvira and her besties going on adventures Inquisition - Cassandra Varric Dorian

9. What’s your favorite origin background? Cousland and Brosca. Also Aeducan was a quite exciting backround

10.If you could live in any country in thedas, where would it be? Kirkwall :’( It’s horrible and I love it

11.You get to make a party of your favorite characters from the entire series- who do you choose? Um....Varric Isabela and Cassandra...... and Dorian.....

[bizzarde]

tagged by @lavellaning thanks Soph <3

1) Favourite companion? Varric. Seriously, I simply can’t do without him. But I will choose some others, per game Origins: Morrigan, Alistair Da2: (Varric) and Isabela Inq: (Varric), Solas, Cassandra and Dorian. And Vivienne. Whatever

2) Least favourite companion? Uh..... Blackwall, I guess

3) Which of your characters (Warden, Hawke, or Inquisitor) did you put the most thought into? That’s difficult..... but I’d say Noelle

5.) What did you name your Mabari? Caesar in DA2 (aka Boobie), and Hercules in Origins

6.) Who do you want to romance but can’t? Varric. Varric. VARRIC. VARRIC TETHRAS ROGUE STORYTELLER AND OCCASIONALLY UNWELCOME TAGALONG. :’( :’(

7.) Favorite battle? Fighting Meredith.

8.) Favorite race to play as? Human. So unique

9.) Did you make matching armor for your companions in inquisition? I don’t even make armors. I just give them armors that make them look pretty. Although I change the colours at times. For Dorian is always black, white, grey or blue. 

10.) Most hated region? Wounded Coast, oh my GOD everytme I had to go there...... also, Deep Roads, origins. I quite like the scenery but I hate darkspawn

11.) Favorite game of the series? I just love Inquisition, it’s a really beautiful game and I love the characters and the landscapes and everything, but I’ll still go with DA2. The music is so warm and welcoming. Hightown, Lowtown, the Hanged Man..... everytime I open it, is like returning from a long journey to beautiful and powerful countries, to my less beautiful, scarred homeland. It has a bittersweet feeling of finding something long lost, and wondering if it can ever be as it had been before. And it has Varric and Hawke. ^.^
