Haven’t touched this wip in a while

Today I'm offering you this Viago sketch, tomorrow? who knows...

What he's doing or what Teia is doing to him, is something we'll never know (for now)

“Do you want to break free or should I pull tighter?”

"Do you have any idea what it's like?! To be vilified by the people you're trying to help? To be a burden instead of a blessing, seen as a curse and treated as such?! To be nothing more than a cautionary tale and a monster used to frighten children?!" - Fen Harel

"Yes." - Rukha Lavellen

Ever since this moment, the sound of Orion's heartbeat for Dorian is very soothing and he often puts his head onto Orion's chest to hear his heart when he doesn't feel well, needs some reassurance, or just something to sooth him before sleep

"No, Inquisitor, I don't think that you understand what I... forgive me... I was out of line. Excuse me."

this was mostly an excuse to play with some watercolor brushes i got ages ago and then never did anything with. but it was also a warmup that went too far.

in my heart of hearts the mythal in the crossroads is 6 feet tall, horned, decked out in armor fitting a self-appointed goddess borne from primordial war and a giant fuck-you dramatic feathered cape. it hurts to look at her directly. out of the corner of your eye you swear the shadow she casts is in the shape of a dragon. she's been stewing in resentment for so long the air just always smells like a wildfire and lightning strikes. ya'll remember the fucking puzzles in her temple? you wouldn't be able to just walk up to her and start talking to her, idc how long it's been since she's had petitioners.

if you want me to believe in the "like holding a piece of the sun" line you have to do better than the pajama-wearing default character creator template num 9 that we actually got.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Do you think everyone in the Lighthouse at least once walks into Emmrich's office and lays down on that bloody stone slab and just laments to him while he sits in his chair like a psychologist in movies

"It's not a positive trait to be so stubborn."

Well Commander Shepard saved the entire galaxy BECAUSE she was so fucking stubborn, so jot that down actually ✏️ 📝

Mountains will erode before she gives up, armies follow her into battle crying her name to the darkened skies, and sushi restaurants tremble at her coming 🍣

[ID: Digital colors on white background, Emmrich smiles and waves while riding the bog unicorn (withered horse corpse with a rusty sword through its face). /End ID]

[ID: Black and white on gray background, Taash asks "Um... Whatcha got there?" while Lucanis grimaces. Emmrich, leading the unicorn by the reigns and holding a bottle: "Wine." The unicorn's eye glows green. /End ID]

The Bog Unicorn

Everyone is at least a little freaked out except Harding who's like "So THAT'S where that went!"

Crestwood

The thing about Crestwood is that it's a beautiful location for a romantic date. Like, Solas put so much thought into choosing a place and bringing her there at the most beautiful time of day. And he had his little speech all prepared. He's clearly been thinking about this for a while, fantasizing about how he'll tell her the truth and somehow it will all work out and then they'll be there together in this romantic place and he'll finally be able to be with her with no more artifice between them.

I don't know, it's just very sad to think of him dreaming about it and planning and being excited to take her there and then - it all comes crashing down. He was so genuinely hopeful. And that's the last time he felt any real hope or happiness for the next ten years. Such a precipitous tumble from all that optimism into his long despair.

End card for my inquisitor and solas 😌 they raise a cute little family and travel the world and fade

Cut dialogue from Elgar'nan and Solas's verbal fight during Blood of Arlathan

Note: these lines are marked as unimplemented in the game files, and I've confirmed with a few friends that they didn't hear this dialogue in the game, just like I didn't, so I'm considering this cut content.

Solas: Our ancient army used to gleam like a field of diamonds in the sun. Solas: But as for your forces now… petty cultists and grunting darkspawn? Solas: Little wonder you prefer the shadows.

Solas: You know what surprises me most, though? I never thought to see you so eager to serve. Elgar'nan: I do not serve. I have never served. Solas: Do you not see how the blight has leashed you? You think its thoughts. You curry its favor. Solas: You wear its very corruption upon your face like vallaslin.
