I was writing the latest chapter of my Reunion fic and suddenly this ballad about the Hero of Ferelden happened. I actually liked it a lot so I recorded myself singing it! It’s very quiet because it’s about 1am and I don’t want to wake anyone up and also because this is the only volume at which I sound reasonably good.

So yes, a ballad about Lady Cousland, Hero of Ferelden! The lyrics are as follows:

Daughter of the Seawolf,

A true warrior born,

Shining armored petals,

Blood dripping from her thorns.

Her sword gleams in the starlight,

Her laugh is like a flame,

When she appears her foes

Wish they had never known her name.

In her tread blossoms compassion,

Mercy sweet on her tongue like wine,

But strength too becomes her;

The pinnacle of her kind.

The loyal prince beside her,

Apostate at her back,

Assassin treading softly,

The Bard with lyric laugh,

Qunari never speaking,

The mage with healing hands,

Mabari never straying,

The dwarf with heavy axe.

The firelight it dances

O’er the faces of her friends,

But though she sleeps in warmth

Her bloody quest never ends.

The stain of darkspawn drips

Black and vicious from her hands,

And her beauty nor her goodness

Can’t save her from fate’s cruel dance.

Her blade she wields with sorrow,

And heavy is her load,

For though she wanders far,

She is farther still from home.

The Warden brings deliverance,

Then returns to the road,

We thank her and we weep for her,

Ferelden’s blood-stained rose.

Making Up Elven Names

This is a compilation of some Dragon Age elven names I’ve been adding to sporadically. I was hoping to have a longer list before sharing it, but hey, I can always update and probably will.

Sources include the DA Wiki, Katie’s Best Guess at Elvhen, and this thread.

Here are all the Dragon Age companions in a nutshell: 

Origins:

Alistair: Your senior officer who is so scared of taking charge that he pretends you’re the senior officer. You can make him king. 

Morrigan: Antisocial witch who totally turns into a spider just to fuck with Alistair. Will probably hold her nose and boink him later. 

Leliana: Ex-nun that murders people and tells you bedtime stories.

Sten: Murders a whole family. One of your more reliable companions.  

Shale: A fashion-conscious, bird-hating rock. 

Wynne: Magical possessed Grandma. <3

Zevran: Failed to kill you. Tries to seduce you instead. 

Oghren: Drinks so much that you forget he has other personality traits. You probably made him kill his wife. 

Dog: Who’s a good boy?! You are! Yes, you are!

Loghain: Doesn’t know why he’s here and frankly kind of wishing you just killed him.

Awakening:

Anders: All he wanted was to leave the giant tower he was trapped in and not be murdered. Jury’s out on how well that worked out. 

Oghren: Still drunk. He left his new wife so he could kill more things with you. 

Nathaniel: He’s forced into the club because ‘some of your best friends have tried to kill you,’ and frankly he’s concerned. 

Velanna: Fuck all you shem. She’s only here because she’s looking for her sister. Also her ears aren’t that big. 

Justice: He doesn’t know what he’s doing but you seem like a good sort so he’ll follow you like a confused and rotting spirit puppy. 

Sigrun: For a dead woman, she is the peppiest of the bunch. Will set Justice’s corpse spasms to music. 

Dragon Age 2:

Carver: Fuck you. Oh wait… maybe less fuck you. Or maybe he’s the fucker all along. 

Bethany: She loves you. Oh wait… no, she still loves you, even if you’re a prick. 

Aveline: Please follow the law. Please stop dragging her into your illegal messes. She just wants to be a good guard captain. 

Varric: He is writing all this shit down to tell embarrassing stories later. 

Anders: VIVE LA RÉSISTANCE! Also, Fenris can go fuck himself. 

Fenris: Murder ALL the mages. Also, Anders can go fuck himself. 

Merrill: The naive fish out of water from every romantic comedy, except she makes blood pacts with demons.

Isabela: FLIRT FLIRT FLIRT runs away with life-saving relic FLIRT SOME MORE. 

Sebastian: A priest who accidentally joined a gang. 

Inquisition: 

Cassandra: Best tank. Could probably have a faith spirit in her head and you couldn’t tell the difference. 

Blackwall: Liar liar beard on fire.

Solas: Liar liar egg on fire. Plus racism.

Iron Bull: Is literally called ‘liar’ and doesn’t lie to you for the whole main game.

Varric: He has finally reached a point where even if he tells this story honestly, no one will ever believe him. 

Vivienne: She will make you classy or so help her–

Dorian: Someone stop his country from embarrassing itself again please.

Sera: Down with the bourgeoisie, except not so far down that we can’t steal from them. 

Cole: Is even worse that this than Justice. You love your weirdo spirit puppy anyway.

Leliana: Someone said something mean? Cut out their tongue.

Josephine: Please just talk to people. Her life would be so much easier if you did.

Cullen: Can’t escape this franchise no matter how far he runs.

“Ah, you’re right. Filthy, rude, an absolute barbarian, nothing to like there at all.”

“Maker, do shut up, yes?“

I realized I forgot to post these :’D Hogwarts AU!

Vivienne’s line upon reaching Skyhold made me think about the saddest ending ever. The character that fits the quote the most is a Solas-romancing Lavellan who sent the wrong Advisor during a certain War Table mission

All of my Inquisitors in one post, hurray!! Up until now I’ve mostly made art of my first Quizzy (Lena, the redhead), but I am planning to fix this soon U___U (I also have a couple of drabbles to go with the art) LOOK AT MY BABIES. P.s. In my mind, Lena and Marcus are called “the sassy siblings”, while Maela is “the angry one” xD

My own version of the Haven flirting scene. Spoiler: they are actually both bad at flirting.

[delilahhowe]

You know that piece of banter in which Alistair talks to himself and mimicks different voices? He’s such a dork, I love him.

Last year I made some coloring pages for my patrons, I think I might have shared some of these ages ago but here they all are in one post!
