Men think of themselves as rock; hard as stone. So they are… Hard, brittle, easily broken. Women though, we are mostly water. Sea around us, sea inside us. When I hurt i remember that. I remember what water is, what it does. Flows, changes, it endures far longer than the rock.

thesxmmersword:

You would think Cauthrien too grizzled, too broken to still feel that thrill in her chest for meeting a hero. But she felt it, a little thing that made her want to breathe deeper, relish in this moment. It felt like the war had been won all over again.

Still, her voice is level, even if it has a brighter quality to it, the smallest touch of reverential respect. “If the Banns had their way, there would be daily fighting in the streets. The City Guard have to work hard for Denerim to keep what little charm she has.” A small sigh through her nose, dragging her gaze from the elf to glance about her. “I still prefer Gwaren.”

the slightest of smiles touches the elf’s face, softening her features and brightening her dark eyes. truth be told, she also prefers gwaren, despite the dark memories its streets hold for her.  two families lost upon those stones, and yet she feels most at home there.

‘ the banns have always been troublesome. ’ even during the rebellion; though she had not been directly involved with the nobles, she remembers hearing complaints of the stubbornness of banns.  ‘ and, similarly, so it continues to be left up to those in lower positions to clean up the messes caused by their obstinacy. ’  a wry smile, and she adds:  ‘ at least the guard isn’t dealing with chevaliers. ’

SHORT STORIES, my favorite kind of poetry ( meme ).

SIX WORDS .

❝ i heard you were doing good. ❞ ❝ you don’t grow your horns overnight. ❞ ❝ i promise, it gets better eventually. ❞ ❝ & we never talked after that. ❞ ❝ am i really, truly, that unlovable? ❞ ❝ don’t talk like you’re coming back. ❞ ❝ my most dangerous habit is trusting. ❞ ❝ we’re made of stars & stories. ❞ ❝ you didn’t have to do that. ❞ ❝ everything is poetry when you’re drunk. ❞ ❝ did i mean anything to you? ❞ ❝ real feelings don’t just go away. ❞ ❝ you came & changed the weather. ❞ ❝ when can you just be mine? ❞ ❝ there was no love, only lust. ❞ ❝ darling, stop wishing on dead stars. ❞ ❝ art is another form of screaming. ❞ ❝ silence is the most painful goodbye. ❞ ❝ what the fuck did you do? ❞ ❝ i’m drunk, dizzy & missing you. ❞ ❝ kiss me like you’re losing me. ❞ ❝ i don’t feel like smiling today. ❞ ❝ not all good people are innocent. ❞ ❝ we’re a disaster in the making. ❞ ❝ some things are better left unsaid. ❞ ❝ we really should’ve talked about it. ❞ ❝ i’m so glad i met you. ❞ ❝ i wish i knew you earlier. ❞ ❝ i fucked (pronoun/name) to our song. ❞ ❝ i dreamed of you this night. ❞

TEN WORDS .

❝ you saw the messed up parts of me, & stayed. ❞ ❝ all i’ve ever wanted was for someone to save me. ❞ ❝ since you left, i have no one to talk to. ❞ ❝ i apologize for the nights in which i cannot breathe. ❞ ❝ everytime i look at you, i want to kiss you. ❞ ❝ we said no strings attached but now we’re in knots. ❞ ❝ there’s a difference between missing someone & missing having someone. ❞ ❝ for which f are you drinking? fuck, forget, or fun? ❞ ❝ my biggest mistake was thinking i could live without (pronoun/name). ❞ ❝ whenever (name/pronoun) rose to kiss me, i fell even more. ❞ ❝ i wish that ‘goodnight’ was followed by ‘i love you’. ❞ ❝ let’s smoke a pack of mentholds & talk about love. ❞ ❝ your deep, sleepy voice makes me feel like i’m okay. ❞ ❝ i read both of our horoscopes looking for an answer ❞ ❝ reality is the absolute last place i want to be. ❞ ❝ i didn’t expect that drunk kiss could mean this much. ❞ ❝ all i need is a late night drive with you. ❞ ❝ feeling pain is nowhere near as terrifying as feeling nothing. ❞ ❝ your eyes are the color of summer fading into autumn. ❞ ❝ you are the warmest home i will ever, ever find. ❞ ❝ the world is less scary when i am with you. ❞ ❝ i still can’t tell which of us was the victim. ❞ ❝ i just need an excuse to hang out with you. ❞ ❝ your expectations for me have been set way too high. ❞ ❝ i don’t want to feel this way about anyone else. ❞

“        i rather think directions would be more helpful.        “    elizabeth drawls, stuffing her phone back into her pocket– useless thing had a battery life of about twenty minutes. 

“          if you’d be so kind?         “

      ‘ sure thing, hon. ’  the older woman finishes drying off a pint glass, placing it gently back upon the shelf, and tosses the dish towel onto the bar.

        ‘ where to ? and would you like anything to drink ? ’

atonings:

—✕ █ ▌Lips shift into a SOMBER grimace, silently thinking that she’d probably make a better Bann than he EVER could. He’s glad to have someone help him adjust even if she may part ways with him soon. Loghain hates that thought, he hates the thought of losing yet ANOTHER familiar face in the crowd. ❝THAT is remarkably cheesy,❞ Loghain responds fondly, squeezing her shoulder in return. It is better to LIVE than to simply survive.

❝Gwaren, hm? You DON’T think they would … ?❞ Maric would, that FOOLISH man. ❝I’ve NEVER been there before fighting in the WAR. What is — what is it like?❞

her face settles into a more serious expression. ‘ i MEAN it. we got our freedom, but we also got a FAMILY. and meghren ain’t gonna take it from us, seein’ as he’s DEAD. ’ nor will she allow anyone else to take them from her; if it means she must travel from alienage to alienage, reminding everyone of what the dirty knife-ears did during the rebellion, she will. she is not AFRAID any longer.

‘ you’re the king’s best friend — ‘course he would.’ as for gwaren ?  ‘ didn’t look much different before the siege. a few more buildings standin’, but the orlesian PRICK runnin’ things didn’t give a shite about anyone. ‘cept when he was murderin’ elves, of COURSE. ’

commanderhopeless:

For a long moment, Inara is not quite what to say – so she says nothing. 

She should. It’s a kindness, this address. Everyone else in camp has made themselves scarce – tucked away in tents, hiding from one personal demon or another, be it the man, the new face sitting solemn at the far end of their settling spot, or the awkward space in the night left by the absence of the happy lovers making some joy by the fire. 

     “Thank you,” she settles on finally. “Though I don’t suppose it did the good I’d hoped – we were trying for more Wardens, and ended up with the same number.”

yzzy glances over at loghain, a solitary figure just beyond the light of the fire. he is not quite who she remembers, but she suspects that he could say the same of her.

the archer places a hand on inara’s shoulder, her touch gentle and light enough to be easily shaken off, should the warden wish it.  she knows that alistair was angry, rightfully so, but she also knows that the parting between the now-king and the woman beside her was far more painful than it needed to be.

‘ yes, but the theirin bloodline is returned to the throne and safe for now, ’ she points out.  ‘ and loghain is one of the smartest commanders i have ever known; his counsel may prove invaluable in the days to come. ’

             ‘ we could have an archery contest afterwards. ’   he teases, appreciative of her company, gesturing to the eye patch on the left side of his face. ‘ i bet you would win your GOLD back in spades — my depth perception isn’t what it used to be. amazing what a little FLAIL to the face can do. ’ he shrugs wryly with no real ill humor, shifting to give her a little more space as they watch the chargers crash into each other in the training ring. shouting instructions until they hear him and incorporate his advice into their stances, he turns to her again.

              ‘ if you’ve a mind for learning a few new tricks, i’d be willing to show you some of MINE if you’d show me yours. ’   he chuckles. ‘ we would just need to find me a BOW your size. ’

           ‘ well, NEITHER of those would be exactly fair. ’  a little chuckle, then, ‘ i don’t mean to brag, but we were called the NIGHT ELVES for a reason. the orlesians didn’t stand a chance. ’  she gazes out over his men — the chargers — and is reminded rather vividly of another training ground, decades ago. the rebel army had been less skilled, but the sight still sends a wave of nostalgia through her. ‘ a flail to the face ? ’  a wry grin, then: ‘ unless it was another qunari, i’m surprised your opponent could reach that HIGH. ’

            yzzy smiles broadly.  ‘ i suspect we’d have to have one MADE for you. the draw weight alone would be considerably higher than anything we could find around skyhold. ’ a pause, then, ‘ if we DID get you a bow, i would be happy to trade techniques. ’

dryhtenhold replied to your post “         ‘ i HATE val royeaux  —— well, i hate orlais as a WHOLE, but...”

yEAAHH WOOO YOU TELL UM!!! - cauthrien

yzzy voice: orlais???? i don’t know her

laetanxavis:

“That’s a shame. Val Royeaux is filled with decent people if you know where to look. But I understand the meaning behind your words. You hate the decadence of the upper class while those considered beneath them suffer for their machinations.”

‘ well, there’s also their continued insistence that we in ferelden are backwards, savage people  — despite our having defeated them in a war. and that is discounting the frankly horrific treatment of elves that i have witnessed so far. ’

         here’s the dealio, kiddos:

         i’m doin a girl’s day out with my mom, and i don’t know when we’ll be done, so i probably won’t be on much today.  then i’m heading out to my dad’s for a week-long vacation.  the cottage we’re staying at does have wifi, but i’ll only have my ipod so i’ll be on mobile if i’m on at all.  in hindsight i should’ve queued a bunch of stuff, but i’m an asshole so that didn’t happen.

          mutuals, free feel to hit me up for skype/discord if u haven’t already uwu
