Monster boyfriend who insists on watching every romantic movie or book you own just so he can court you not only how you deserve but how you'd love.

Behold! A hyperspecific fandom poll because my experiences have been Wild!

Imagine that you have established yourself in a certain fandom niche, such as shipping a rarepair. People seem to enjoy what you do, and some have started to approach you as the sole authority on your niche. But suddenly... Le gasp! You find out that someone is doing the same thing. Do you react to them negatively, as potential competition/copycat/idea thief, or positively, as a potential like-minded friend in a space where you were previously all alone?

Omggggg just started watching foreign films! Starting off with what's supposedly really big over there. So far, these marvel films are really interesting. I wonder if all American media is like this... Really seems heavy handed on the industrial war complex and maintenance of the status quo but that's just their culture. I wonder if there are any big actors in these movies. Haven't heard of any of them. Watching and learning

also the popular theory of qunari originating from elves is shut down completely imo.

the elves are our most reliable lens into the origins of thedas. i think it's very pointed that the dalish recount that humans came from par vollen - what we know now as fleeing the devouring storm post-creation of the veil. i think it's VERY safe to reason that the qunari didn't CONQUER par vollen. the humans already living there BECAME qunari.

i think 'kossith' refers actually to the avvar/chasind (rather, the alamarri), because it's said that they worshipped animist gods before the qun. the kossith are the race that predate qunari. what little lore we have of them is either very particular in never describing their appearance or theorizing that they were a collection of different races not unlike the qun we know today. from that, we can reason that they were either humans or a mix of human, elf, and dwarf.

and i know bioware says the kossith had a colony in the korcari wilds (CHASIND TERRITORY BTW) which is how the darkspawn first created ogres. however we know that the blights came AFTER the veil/devouring storm, which means after the creation of the horned race that ogres come from.

take all of this and add it to the connection between the avvar doctrine and the qun. three chief gods representing the primordial forces of thedas. the lady of the skies is a spirit (mythal) is the mind. korth the mountain-father is a titan is the body. hakkon wintersbreath is a dragon (??) is the soul. there's also the parallel of the avvar and the qun being TOTAL inverses of each other. the avvar are so free with magic that creating 'abominations' is a regular, standard practice, where the qun collars and silences their mages.

i guess what we now have to figure out is what IS the devouring storm? clearly something caused by the veil. maybe the veil itself. likely something to do with executors, which we know nothing about except that they were mages. maybe not even that, maybe they just have a form of magic we haven't seen yet.

i think theirin blood might have a play here. reavers definitely. yavana for sure. thinking and thonking.

My hard drive is bursting at the seams with screenshots from my earliest Veilguard playthrough, on a save I then deleted to make room because that was before I discovered the unlimited character mod.

I never posted these as, at first, I did not want to share spoilers, and then, I thought there would be no point as most people around me hated the game anyway. Well, it's been long enough!

Evaraas Mercar you will always be famous

8. for the intimacy prompts if you want to do it as an ask game!!

Number 8 was "Interrupting with a kiss"! It turned into Emmrich and Adalina Ingellvar, a survivor of an abusive marriage!

The themes of Emmrich comforting Rook's insecurity and body dysmorphia are similar to those found in my writing about Lenore, but instead of fatphobia, Adalina was overall traumatized by her ex's selfishness and dudebro-ness.

“Darling?” Emmrich whispers softly, his fingertips butterfly-light on Adalina’s skin.

“Do you… still want this?”

A captured breath thrashes against her pale throat, dissolving like foam dissolves upon cold rock — into a faint whimper.

Oh, she wants this. She wants, she wants!

She has been so full of want for as long as she can remember. No matter how tightly she wound the heavy anchor chains around her wandering thoughts, and reeled them back into drab reality, away from the rolling, candy-bright hills of make-believe land, where couples from romance novels dwell, cheerily ravishing one another and drinking of the sweetest ecstasies. No matter how deeply she smothered her foolish desires in the crumpled pillows on her cold, desolate side of the marital bed.

It is not about want, though. It’s about not being able to offer anything besides.

Her fingers dig into her palms, the half-moon marks as deep as her shame.

Well. She will have to tell him. She has quietly abused his kindness thus far.

“I do,” she confesses.

These first two words chip into the wall within her, and every word that follows, deepens the gash until nothing remains but a torrent of something raw, something scalding, spilling over the crumbling ruins.

“But I… I have to tell you now… I am terrible at it. You’d think I’d learn, after bearing two children, but all that gave me that these… hideous ruptures under my skin that my husband had me cover with a nightgown because the sight of them made his cock droop.”

She chokes, startled by her own sudden crassness — this is not how a lady talks, her mother-in-law would say! Remember that the Ingellvars granted you a great boon by allowing you into the family! You are of nobility now, so act like it!

“I am not a lover, Emmrich. I am just a lifeless sack.”

Now it’s her husband’s voice in her ears. Saying these very same words. It thunders, it pounds, drum-like, unforgiving, and the mere memory of it makes her want to sink into herself, even across all this distance, even after all the time spent on the run from him, saving the world with Varric and Harding, and trying and failing to save herself.

“All I can do is lie there, shut my eyes, and wait until he’s done. Every single night we were together, it was the same. I… I have no idea how to do anything else. I’m useless —”

Before she blurts out anything else, Emmrich’s lips find hers.

It is not as much of a kiss as a soothing breath of comfort against the chapped skin of her mouth.

“Dearest, I implore you,” he tells her, his eyes enormous, shimmering, mesmerizing like the Fade itself. “Do not believe his lies. You are a wonder in so many ways, and it will be my privilege to explore them all with you. We shall start slow, and go where the night takes us. Do you trust me?”

“Yes,” she breathes back.

She wants to believe him now, instead of the voice in her memories.

She wants.

She wants.
