my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

Here's the progress of my Iron Bull embroidery from Dragon Age: Inquisition! In the character tarot collection it's the "Wheel of Fortune" card that you get if you save the Chargers in the Demands of the Qun mission. - 111 hours of work, 11.5 X 19.5 cm.

what is your LEAST favorite stitch?

I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.

At long, LONG last, my hand-embroidered Iron Bull wheel of fortune tarot card from Dragon Age Inquisition is FINISHED! It took 111 hours of work overall, by FAR the most elaborate piece in my embroidery series. 11.5x19.5 cm in size.

If you've been following along the very slow progress of this piece on IG, you won't be surprised that this one has been on the move with me now for about 7 months while I've been involved in theatre work. I'd add to it while backstage, during tech weeks, and in green rooms while relaxing with work friends. As such each section contains memories of where I was and what show I was doing while working on it.

I probably could have finished within a shorter span if I'd dedicated more of my free time to it (same amount of hours probably, in fewer months) but I engage with these pieces like I do with the Dragon Age franchise as a whole: to have something comforting to return to and enjoy when the time is right. I hope you've enjoyed the slow journey of this one as much as I have.

if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost

take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle

fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism

now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning

Happy three years with Word of Honor, ghost valley denizens! I put together a compilation of the in-show Wolong Nuts product placements, because they bring me so much joy. I can't imagine the show feeling the same without them; the fact that they're even referenced in fanart and fanfic as part of the world of the story gives them a special place in my heart.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Lucanis offers Rook his hand.

Part 3 of some DATV ballroom colour sketch explorations.

I said Part 3 would be about dancing, but I lied. Instead, it's dedicated to another ballroom dancing trope I love—the "almost touch". I didn't want to rush into the moment. What's the saying? Only fools do that?

Part 2 here Part 1 here

We are ghosts. Ghosts disappear in the light.

*BAP*

Assan is half bird, half cat. So this joke just had to be made.

My headcannon is that Cullen and the Inquisitor come to help Rook and they brought their dog.
