Get to Know You - Tag Game

The lovely @loredrinker tagged me. 💚

Last Song: Cigar by Tamino

Right then, she kisses my skin. I don't know what this is or where to begin. This fills me up with bliss. Don't tell me this was a dream.

Favourite Colour:

Currently Watching: The Legend of Vox Machina

Critical Role / Tal'dorei has become one of the newer brain worms for me, ugh. There's a fic I want to write but we'll see if it ever gets posted, not sure people care about an OC x Percy De Rolo.

Last Movie: Sisters

"Will you not drink tonight so I can let my freak flag fly?"

Sweet, Savoury or Spicy: Savoury (and spicy)

Currently Reading: Weyward by Emilia Hart

“Witch. The word slithers from the mouth like a serpent, drips from the tongue as thick and black as tar. We never thought of ourselves as witches, my mother and I. For this was a word invented by men, a word that brings power to those that speak it, not those that it describes. A word that builds gallows and pyres, turns breathing women into corpses.”

Current Obsession: Solavellan (Isathe x Solas), Vox Machina (OC x Percy De Rolo), Boba Protein Powder, Writing

Currently Working On: I am working on a few things.

- The Theory of Being, chapter 63 - Outlining my Solavellan fic for the 2025 DA Big Bang - Purging my closet - Fixing my dark academia gallery wall in my office. - Learning how to make a race mod in BG3 so I can be my half-Eladrin D&D character.

Who'd like to play?

@miraabellee @trash-begging @mishwanders @heyitsalyane

Beginning of my next chapter of The Theory of Being:

There was a gentle comfort in spending her time in Solas’ office in the Lighthouse. The space was obviously used up until the night of his failed ritual, a few pieces of clothing strewn over chairs, and it was his usual organized chaos that she remembered from their time together in Skyhold. This was his sanctum, and it slowly had become hers as well. Between dealing with the Antaam and Venatori, navigating the political landscape that was Treviso and Minrathous, tracking the Evanuris, and dealing with her own grief and pain - Isathe was exhausted in every sense of the word. The weight was so heavy, and despite her claims, she did not feel confident enough to delegate larger issues to her new team, and every one of their issues was world-ending. Isathe had the luxury of learning to trust her companions in the Inquisition before it got truly horrible, there was no such luck here. A soft knock at the door brought Isathe back to the present, slumping in Solas’ chair. Even then, some of his smell lingered in the room, attached to the furniture. She took a moment to recompose herself, push down and bottle up every one of those stray and fragmented emotions. A few seconds later, Emmrich entered. Bellara and Emmrich convinced Isathe to try and touch the wolf statuette that held more of Solas’ memories again, despite how horrible the last one was. She conceded, they needed to know everything they could to get an edge over the Evanuris, and in the process hopefully saving Solas from himself.

I generally write with a combination of caffeine, vibes and a very rough outline of events.

The rules are simple: go to pinterest, search "your name + core," post six pictures. Then tag six people

Okay, but like... this is a hell of a vibe. Tagged by the lovely @mishwanders

Got my first hate comment on AO3. Does that mean I made it? Am I cool now?

The next chapter of The Theory of Being is up!

I have been conversing with a Fade Expert, Bellara had said. Let’s go meet him in Nevarra, in the Necropolis, she said. Isathe tried to push down the annoyed tone of the thoughts floating through her mind. It had been easy enough to convince the Inquisitor that she should come along to find this Fade Expert while Varric and the others headed to Rivain. Varric heard rumblings from an old friend of his from his Kirkwall days located there, who had someone else who could help them with their ever growing pile of problems. Bellara knew exactly how to capture Isathe’s curiosity for the trip - the Fade Expert could possibly figure out how Solas built the prison, and in turn get him out. Isathe wanted to keep Solas safe, but two ancient elves was better than one when going against the Evanuris.

Your OC As A Flower 🌸

Isathe - Dahlia (Purple or Orange)

What the internet says about this flower:

New beginnings and fresh starts. Diversity amidst a boring world. Enduring kindness and grace, even when things are hard. Commitment to what is good.

They also are my favorite flower (and I have a half-sleeve tattoo of dahlias.) She would either be purple dahlia (royalty, elegance) or orange/yellow (creativity, curiosity).

I’m going to tag: @loredrinker @trash-begging @mishwanders + anyone who wants to join!! ✨

I started typesetting my own fic for printing. Is that weird? Oh well. It'll be damn pretty, Isathe deserves it.

I finally drop kicked that writer's block, and chapter 61 of The Theory of Being is now out. Also my fic on AO3 has hit over 10k views and I just... it's so wild.

Chapter 61: A City Saved Full Story: The Theory of Being

The Forgotten Ones weren't always... well, forgotten. The stories were likely partially true, the tales of cruelty and hiding in the darkness. They were everything they shouldn't have been - those who caused terror, pain, despair. The woman the world would eventually know as Inquisitor Lavellan was, in fact, a Forgotten One. Somehow Isathe was not imprisoned by the Dread Wolf in the abyss with the rest of them. Whatever the reason, the former spirit of Curiosity coaxed into physical form was stuck in the aftermath of that event. She felt the moment the Veil was created and pulled her even farther from her home. Then she slept. Slept for thousands of years until she woke in a world where elves were no longer what they had been. She had to find a way to stay alive and adjust to the world that formed from the Betrayal so long ago.
