I just pulled an all nighter bc my brain would not stfu. Thought I would be tired today and completely useless, but still have to put on my smiley mask and somehow not end up in prison.

For some reason, at 6am, my body started doing the thing I've been putting off for two weeks now. I got it done in an hour and a half...I don't think I made a conscious decision to do it!?

I write this so everyone knows, if I dissappear today it's bc the exhaustion induced miracle drug couldn't handle productivity AND customer-service grade enthusiasm.

I'll update with my sentencing length.

love when I get horrible sleep & then I’m evil for the rest of the day

Hear me out, Dorian hosting a victory ball in Tevinter and poor Rook being used as very pretty bait to draw out the last of the Venatori in the Magisterium. Meanwhile Lucanis plays hidden assassin/guardian angel in the rafters employed to clean house of said Venatori……………..

I wonder how Lucanis felt the first time he fed the team. It was only Rook, Harding, Neve and Bellara at the time...he had to track them down since they were so used to Bellara being the one who cooked, and she hadn't said anything about dinner plans. Even if they smelled food from the kitchen, at that point they were all only really cooking their almost-non-edible dishes for just themselves.

But they were in awe at the spread waiting for them on the dinner table, and Lucanis watched for any hint of suspicion that any good crow would show at such blatant hospitality, ready to assure them by taking the first bite. Instead they dug in like rescued shipwreck survivors. Not a one pulled out a poison test kit! Even Harding, who seemed the most hesitant bc of his predicament, dug in and kept digging. (Dwarf joke not intended)

The whole team were all smiles and Lucanis couldn't remember the last time he'd made 1 person smile, let alone 4! And they might not trust his deal with Spite...but they trusted HIM enough to not even think he might be trying to kill them, and that's a trust he barely had in his own house before. He didn't even think anyone would eat...he just wanted to try bc they had saved him, and this was the only thing he could think that they needed.

Yes, Bellara helped him sometimes, but from that first meal he was more than happy to become the head chef for the team.

Davrin is worried that Antoine will be the one to finally put a stop to the chaos he's started, but the polite elf only blushes and suddenly can't look at Evka.

"That's interesting" he thinks, but ultimately decides not to pursue it bc there are some things you just don't want to know about your boss.

Rook, however, is now determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Well, yeah, have you SEEN how sad he can look? He walks all over me!" Evka says with a chuckle. (Emmrich is now muttering about custom boots).

"Mon amour, that was once because I didn't have the strength to get that knot out of your back." Antoine finally mumbles, still not looking at anyone.

"OH, so it's also practical for health reasons? Wow, so many layers!" Bellara is scribbling in her notepad.

Can you imagine the pressure Davrin is under if Lucanis is dating an elf Rook?

He has one shot—just one shot—to pull off the perfect “Trust me, bro” prank with bogus bullshit about elves.

He probably lies awake at night trying to craft the perfect lie. Lucanis isn’t an idiot. It’s got to be believable and not easily disproven. It has to be something personal so he won’t ask Rook or Bellara about it. And he’s got to time it for maximum hilarity.

The others notice he’s distracted and ask if he’s okay. He nods solemnly and says he just has a lot on his mind. The others understand. Risen gods, blighted dragons, responsibility for the last of the griffins… they’re all overwhelmed.

Meanwhile this man is thinking, “I am going to get that Antivan motherfucker if it’s the last thing I do.”

Oh my GOODNESS, y’all!! Sathynae is back at it again and gave me more absolutely gorgeous fanart, this time of Viago and my Rook, Belladonna, in one of my favorite scenes from my fic Recordare, their encounter on top of the Chantry. I’m so absolutely blown away by their beautiful work, and I am so, so incredibly grateful.

the other day i learned that taking a long time to fall asleep is called “sleep latency” which is just the funniest thing to me tbh

I'm replaying Cyberpunk again after years of not paying attention to it and...yall...this is Lucanis, but cyber'd out!! The parallels are AMAZING!! Johnny is programmed to take over...Spite was summoned to take over. The host doesn't want to give up their autonomy to the new thing living in them. Johnny and Spite have to learn about the new world they now live in THROUGH their hosts. And it's up to them to make the choice to bargain with the host vs just take over. (And Johny is pretty Spiteful from the jump). I'm crying and gaming and I love it...and hate it bc I'm sobbing.

[feral4fiktion]

They both KNOW it was Bellara (printed under a whole new alias than what she usually uses to try to hide it), but it's adorable that she'll deny it completely.

...Until Lucanis let's it slip that it's his new favorite bedtime story.

In honour of me gobbling up @morrriigan’s Love Letters fic! I am HIGHLY entertained by the thought of Rook and Lucanis discovering there’s romance fiction written about THEM

lucanis is impossible to photograph seriously in combat, he just. does this.

thinking about cullen probably worried sick about the inquisitor when she goes off to Minrathous to face Solas. And for a few moments when it is all over - even in the victory of it all - I know that he is sick to his stomach wondering whether or not his love has made it. For the Maker has spared her too many times that it seems that the odds would never been on her side again, and yet when she does make an appearance I know that he does not let go of her for the longest time.

I see your raise and raise again:

Every time he dreams this he wakes with a start. Beads of sweat. Panting breath- a quick look around and - yes, he IS where he lay down to dream.

Only there's a deep pool of Dread that he thought had died off years ago. It's there, hovering at the edge of his vision, never quite coming close enough to show what drew it to him. No matter where he goes, he wakes next to that pool, knowing that it grows larger with every choice he makes, every step he takes away from...ready to swallow him if he Dreams too long.

The pool is deepening. The waves get darker with every day. When he traps Rook in his place, the pool becomes an ocean. The waves are not peaceful, they pull and bite at him like a typhoon ready to snap him out of existence.

He knows the rolling tides will eventually pull him under, but he MUST fulfill his duty to HER...even if it means fanning the waves into a typhoon that drowns the world. That is the only way he can close that past life. The only way he can drown in that overflowing pool of Dread with no regrets. To finally be with Vhenan in his Dreams.

But...She let's him go...he didn't...need a typhoon!? Rook...the pawn...the sacrifice...stopped the flood, halted the ebbs...and brought his Dream to him.

His Dream stands and welcomes him. Dread isn't an ocean, or a puddle, but one drop in his Future. With Vhenan by his side, Dread and Nightmares don't exist.

I see your: Solas can visit Lavellans dreams

Raise it: when he inserts himself, what might have been dreams become nightmares:

Ripping their arm off upon first meeting.

Opening the fade further during the revisit to Haven so demons attack Lavellan while he laughs.

Him saying something devastating like: "who would dance with you?" At Hallemsherel

Solas wants DESPERATELY just to see his vhenan, so he endures that he is the star of their nightmares...for ten years.

My life is an open world rpg that I've recognized too late and can't reset. My interaction choices...could have been better. I've barely clung to life at the end of too many fights. Puzzles with grand prizes were skipped over without noticing the value at the time. Cherished companions were lost. I'll keep saving each day, until I make it to the endgame.

I didn't play DAI till after Veilguard, so me actually LIKING Solas was a huge shock, but I'm laughing the whole way through at the pain Egghead is going through (I've romanced him and Cullen, working on Blackwall, but Solas is my #1 companion every time).

Also wondering if BioWare is aware of how many people are replaying DAI now? Are the devs? Do the devs know that some people are going back in time and appreciating what we might have missed before? If not, please send them my appreciation.

DAI became so much funnier after DATV

We have Fen'Harel who started a war against slavers to free his people, the spirits, that longed many many years and ended with elvhen empire crashed and world itself separated.

And, aeons later, we have Dorian Pavus, who's curling his mustache and casually drops comments like, "oh btw did you know you can enslave a spirit? you should try someday, it's kinda easy".

I wonder just how many efforts did it take for Fen'Harel to not go rage and then passing out of intracranial pressure

Ok, here's my ramble:

1. Emmrich DOES leave the pens everywhere, but Manfred will happily pick it up once he's left the area.

2. Manfred knows Spite is bored, so takes the pen to him while everyone's asleep, thinking "this makes Emmrich happy, so Spite should be too".

3. Spite is unimpressed until Manfred starts mimicking Emmrich writing and holds Spites hand to imitate. Actually teaching him in a way Lucanis never does.

4. Spite wants to show gratitude but doesn't know how except what Lucanis does, which is to give someone food. So he shoves whatever Lucanis bought the most of that day into Manfreds hands.

5. Manfred leaves before dawn, but sees Assan, already stretching around his room to get the energy to go back in to wake Davron.

6. Manfred excitedly shows Assan his gift from Spite. He knows it's a food, and he can't eat, but he loved the gift, but Assan perks up at the sight of it.

7. Assan rushes back to his room and flies back with a smooth clamshell he picked up during a trip to the sword coast. It didn't have anything in it, but he'd been entertained for a while.

8.Manfred hands over the food for the "thing he's seen before but this one is new".

This continues on a nightly basis, with no one ever knowing how Spites getting better at writing/drawing, Assan is not AS hungry at breakfast, and he's interested in more food groups, and Manfred has a growing collection of things Emmrich can't understand where he got them.

Lucanis: How do Emmrich pens always end up in here?

I find it funny Emmrich leaving all his pens around the lighthouse. Then later wondering where they went.
