You know what actually I'm still stuck on that Mary Kirby tweet where she says Spite is always wearing armour because Spite manifests how Lucanis envisions him and Lucanis is never relaxed

For Ariane, the best Mercar to ever de Riva 🤣

what kind of letter would they write but never send ?

Ariane has written many letters over the years to the father she never knew, the father who likely doesn't even know of her existence and whose identity was lost to the world when her mother died. She treats them almost like diary entries, wondering what kind of person he was, whether he would want anything to do with her, whether he would care that she exists. Some letters are angrier - blaming him for being the reason her mother fled and the reason they were sold into slavery in the first place. In the end she burns them not because they're useless endeavors (which they are), but because she's afraid of the answers she might receive.

what is a scar that they have but never talk about ?

Everyone asks how she got the scar on her face, and Ariane always tells the story about a job gone wrong and a fight with her mark. That story is a lie. The real story is too painful to share.

ㅤhow do they laugh ?

Loudly and with abandon. She has a tendency to snort when she really gets going, and her laugh was once described by Viago as "a shrill cackle - like some sort of screaming bird."

[gatesofminrathous]

I just don't think that Lucanis is weird enough for a possessed guy.

like, he has wings and sometimes his eyes glow. so what. he lives in a fantasy universe, that's practically normal there.

yeah, some people write him as being able to purr. it's a good start.

but we could make it more!

his nails grow super fast - he has to trim them practically each evening - and they grow super sharp and pointy. he's having difficulty trimming them too, since they're very hard.

his eyesight is way better than it used to be.

he didn't notice that in the Ossuary, what with being locked up. and afterwards, he just thought he forgot some stuff in his imprisonment. but one day he gets talking with Davrin or Emmrich or Harding and no. it turns out he really sees more colours than he used to. he's not sure but his night vision might be much better too.

he's eyes track movement like they never had before and he can see farther away. yesterday, he spotted a tiny bird hiding in a tree from at least a mile away. and then was startled when he realised this fact because since when can he do that!

Lucanis always had a thing about smells - just check his pov in the Tevinter Nights - but ever since bonding Spite it gotten so much more sensitive. he knew that some animals supposedly can smell fear but he never expected to be able to do it himself.

do you see my vision yet?

I just know they are either best friends and have known each other for thirty years, or they’re meeting for the first time and immediately hate each other
