Dragon Age RP
Dragon Age RP (18+ | OC x OC | Romance / Angst / Dark Fantasy) Hey there! I’m looking for a long-term, story-driven Dragon Age RP over Discord. I write semi-lit to literate, 3rd person past tense, and I'm all about building rich character dynamics, emotional tension, and romance. Smut is absolutely welcome (no fade to black), but plot and chemistry come first.
I’ve got two specific ideas I’m craving right now:
Veilguard-Inspired AU (Main Craving)
Solas tore down the Veil. Elgar’nan and Ghilanain are gone. Thedas is changed, possibly forever. The qunari and humans have been wiped out… except for one: my OC, Zorah, a human mage who should have vanished with the rest.
I’m looking for a cis male elf OC who supported Solas (whether he fully agreed with him, blindly followed, or has serious regrets is up to you). Maybe he thought the world would be better after the Veil fell. Maybe now he's questioning everything. Either way, he finds Zorah alive, and that changes everything.
This would be very angst-heavy, with space for slow-burn romance, complicated emotions, loyalty vs morality, and survival in a new, broken world. I want to lean into the dark, raw tone of post-Veilfall Thedas, but still carve out a story about connection and redemption (or ruin).
DA: Inquisition Rewrite / Remix
If that’s not your jam, I’m also open to writing through Inquisition, either canon-compliant or altered. I’d play Zorah as a follower, and I’m looking for someone to play a cis male elf or dwarf OC as the Inquisitor. I’m down to rework canon or do something entirely new around the core story.
Romance would still be a big part of it, whether it’s slow and soft, enemies-to-lovers, or full of tension and buried feelings. I love character arcs that grow alongside the world plot.
What I’m Looking For:
18+ only (no exceptions)
Someone who writes 3rd person, past tense
Fluent or very comfortable with English
Comfortable with darker themes and smut (no fade to black)
Plays a cis male elf (Veilguard AU) or elf/dwarf Inquisitor (DA:I plot)
Replies at least a few times a week — I usually do the same!

Allllll the time. I have fantasies of my unfortunate body-swap partner laying on the couch gasping saying they can’t move and begging for Tylenol while I run up and down the stairs five times in one day because FUCK YEAH MOBILITY and hours later, I slow down enough to check on them and they’re crying because they’re so thirsty but it hurt to turn on the tap or get a glass and then they choked because the water wasn’t cold enough and I’m like, yeah, that’s super annoying isn’t it, I wonder if that’s why I’m always begging you to not drink my frozen water bottles and to refill them and to get things from downstairs with your pre-adolescent super body it’s my daughter, my fantasy body-swap partner is my daughter.
anyone else wish they would get roped into a freaky friday body swap situation just for the hope that the other person will go "oh jesus fuck how do you live like this" and instantly validate your feelings of being Strange and Built Wrong.

@homunculus-argument your mind must be such a cool place to live I would just like, always have popcorn
Add realism to your fantasy stories by having characters from different backgrounds struggle to pronounce each others' names.
"My name is [low guttural sound] but I don't want to hear you butcher it. So you may call me She Who Arises With The Cold Mountain Sun."
"...Is that what your name really means? All that in just one word?"
"Yes. If you stress the wrong syllable it comes out as 'She Who Coldly Wakes Up The Mountain Sun', or 'The Cold Woman Who Wakes The Mountain Sun', and you will not call me that."
"Oh, huh. Could we just call you Mountain Sun, for short?"
"Hmh. It's boastful, almost bordering on blasphemy, but it is flattering. I accept it."

The fact that animals that care for their young will sometimes adopt others' lost or orphaned young to raise along their own is just funny to me. I know that it's all hormonal and there's no conscious thought involved in it, but the internal logic of it is so funny.
"Baby = success. More baby = more success. I have one baby and I found four other baby. I have five baby. I am being so fucking successful right now."

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."
This one is for you.
Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.
Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.
First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.
If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.
If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.
Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).
If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.
Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.
Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.
If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.
Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.
I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.
Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!
If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt
If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house
If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.
If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.
Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat
-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.
-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.
-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.
Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.
Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.
Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.
Frozen fruit is delicious in water.
Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.
Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!
Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."
Image Description provided by @loveize
[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911. End description]
Be safe.

Goddamn, Tumblr. *makes impressed noises*
does anyone have that quote that goes something like 'white germans under the nazis lived just fine as long as they were loyal to the state, gave their children to the army, and paid their taxes, and in this sense many americans would be comfortable living under fascism' trying to find who said it but google is giving me jack shit

A sudden, terrifying thought
When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that’s usually a predator animal.

If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though—to the side—that animal is prey.

Now look at this dragon.

See those eyes?

They’re to the SIDE.

This raises an interesting—and terrifying—question.

What in the name of Lovecraft led evolution to consider DRAGONS…
As PREY?

Hahahahaha… yeah…
Hey authors, make sure you drop your a03 handle in posts like these so I can go love on you.
“First and foremost I’m writing for myself,” I hiss through my teeth, resisting the urge to refresh my email for an Ao3 message for the 100th time.

Can’t relate.
Today is Opposite Day, b-t-dubs.
Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.
20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”
80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

I am also not wanting to sound like a Christian facebook mom, but this goes so hard and I’d like to just agree that yes, it’s true, showing grace to even those people who chap your damn hide is actually as good for you, the grace-giver, as it is for the receiver.
They need to be first on the elevator so damn bad, let them be first, and choosing to give them that will do you good.
You’re worth it.
You’re worth a grace-filled heart and life.
not to sound like a christian facebook mom but some of yall need to have grace in your hearts for the people in your lives or the people you pass once on the road and never see again like you literally need to stop assuming the worst of everyone and their intentions it is poisoning your brain. you can be careful and responsible without being a miserable person. it is possible i promise
#grace#be kind to one another#love one another#if the xtians did this they wouldn’t be so darn angry all the time#Jesus knew of what he spoke#he knew his shit man#we really gotta trust that dude more

It’s the literal best
Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.

Omg that last post… that’s it, folks… that’s literally the whole ass sermon. Damn!
I do actually care marginally about the guy in that reddit screenshot who voted for Trump and is now worried that he might lose his medicaid funding because I did not fucking stutter when I said healthcare is a human right but the people losing their internships and job offers to the hiring freeze are straight up hilarious.

Reblogging for some people in my life who could benefit…
They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.
