#//Bc he does love a good drink; what do you MEAN he’s gotta basically poison himself to get the same buzz as before???

Albedo cannot get drunk on alcohol whatsoever. The only thing that really does work for him is neurotoxins.

for the alternate love intrest ask game: athras and iron bull? >:)

Send me an OC + an alternate love interest for them and I’ll tell you what I think of the idea

ok let me preface this by saying i have NEVER played the iron bull romance and did i just watch a video to get a grip of it? absolutely (side note: i hated hearing the inquisitors voice again bc athras! does! not! sound! like! that!) but anyway: (this turned into somewhat of a liveblog so i'm putting it under a cut lmao

my initial thoughts before watching it are: i cant see a romance happen, i have never had bull high up on my approval list but they might fuck casually (she would totally peg him) HOWEVER

ok after watching it (and clearly losing my mind and track a few times) the answer is basically the same: romance? no. casual sex? maybe

this was a fun thing to do!! thank you so much for asking bunny 💜💜💜

i have always appreciated it when bull pulls the inquisitor to the side and shows them what the soldiers think of them and athras would appreciate that as well (not that she would ever admit to it)

the tavern scene after the dragon fight? hell to the nah, i enjoy that scene personally but it always frustrated me because athras would not act like any of the options lmao but you know she might take the first sip and after that? who knows! winky face

ok the scene on the battlegrounds? where you hit him with the stick? she'd indulge him at first but would be dismissive towards the end (not good for romance is it?) she understands people deal with their fears differently but that whole scene has a weird (to me) sexual undertone (even before the flirtation) and i don't vibe with that (though "you like it rough huh? only from you" is pretty s tier i gotta admit and athras would like it)

being introduced to the chargers? love that (like many lavellan players it annoys me to hell and back that bull tries to explain the dalish to me, but that's not really his fault) she also appreciates that he took a dalish in after they were cast out (funfact: dalish and athras have the same vallaslin ingame (my hc is that each clan has different ones but dirthamen yes) i also love that interaction with stitches, athras is a self proclaimed potion expert so they would get along (or they would hate each other - her and the guy where you brew potions at the start of the game had a bit of a feud going on bc she thought he didn't know shit about potions) "it's a poltice, ser, you're not supposed to drink it" is ENGRAVED into my memory (ok now im just talking about athras instead of the romance, i apologise lmao)

sidenote: since bull keeps talking about redheads, athras has a sister (also with the inquisition) who is a redhead so that's actually pretty funny to me and i have never thought of it before

SO the dreadnought huh? ofc athras saves the chargers - she's not as loyal to the inquisition as she should be but she never wanted the position as inquisitor anyway (much like she didnt want to be first and eventually keeper to her clan) also hissrad meaning keeper of illusions/ liar and athras having dirthamen (god of secrets) vallaslin??? iconic maybe i do need this romance in my life lmao

god that fucking fight on the battlements?? where bull gets poisoned? another memory that's drilled into my skull, very iconic also that scene made me realise that maybe solas and bull aren't all that different (we know this but sometimes it's good to experience it again)

ok i see we are getting to the actual interesting parts that i never got to see lets gooo OH BOY OH BOY we don't like that one LMAO "you don't know what you are asking for" and him being all dominant? athras is not into that but we will see, we will see 👀

OH NO not legit admitting to manipulate people (i know what he means and this is all flirty but bad vibes bad vibes (don't get me wrong im into it personally but athras sure as shit isn't (yes as a solasmancer i'm putting on my clown makeup right now)))

i do like the setting rules and a safeword interaction though HOWEVER if it ever got to that point athras would laugh in his face ("don't quote the old magic to me, i was there when it was written")

OH I LOVE that dragon tooth thing, that's cute

BRO DID HE JUST-- i like that sneaky romance and so does athras but BOY does she hate pda

CULLEN i remember this from back in the day, athras loves bullying him so this is amazing all of their reactions are so fun i love it I SEE YOU JOSIE BUT YOU ARE TAKEN (by fisara, athras' sister, which makes this even more awkward lmao) OH THE BOSSINESS FROM THE INQUISITOR i am stanning so hard right now

also this fucking portrait has me cackling

NAH BRO NAH BRO not kadan meaning "my heart"

YES YES YES BALCONY SCENE HERE WE COME ok that scene was kinda underwhelming but i guess that scene was always better in my mind

i will never get over the fact that at the end of the game you are actually on the balcony with your LI like AAAA can you imagine my face when replayed it for the cullen romance (i dont wanna talk about it) ??? complete and utter shock

ok that scene was good, the lovebite? the compliments? chefs kiss (though athras wouldnt be into being "marked" like that she's usually the one marking others)

oh god it's trespasser time oh no

oh i always liked the dragon skull scene and i gotta admit it works better with the romance! but again.... athras would be even worse at this than the lets her be

bro not the exchange of "i love yous" in the face of uncertainty!! im gonna combust (once again not athras style, she'd rather leave things unsaid than say them in a situation like that)

god im so glad they didn't show solas in this video, i would have gone insane

he kept the necklace! ofc he did but that's still a good thing :) sure hope he won't betray us or hasn't betrayed us before :)

(De-) Stress the heck out!

Okay, if you’re gonna sit there and say: “yeah nah, never been stressed a day in my life.” You’re a flippin’ liar. We all suffer from stress at some point in life. Its normal af. If you DON’T get stressed, I’d be worried about you as a human and whether or not you had a soul… How to explain stress in human form: that kinda sweaty annoying tingly feeling on the back of your neck, and the feel of your breakfast not sittin’ so well in your bowels, and you scoutin’ the area to see if there are any toilets near “just in case”. Yeah, that’s stress. Causes of stress: Um, life. Nah but seriously. I stress over everything. Friends, work, the future, my relationship, MONEY (shock horror), the fact I never have ANYTHING to wear. And all that first world stuff. Now I’m not gonna go into anxiety in this, I’ll leave stress’ older uglier sister for another blog. Stress is one of those things that just HAPPENS. It CAN even be a bloody good thing sometimes. I mean if we didn’t stress, we wouldn’t care, and whatever we’re stressed about its because we’re probably worried that things aren’t going to turn out okay and because we CARE TOO MUCH. So in turn…by stressing, we can push ourselves to do better... Does this make sense? Whether its pushing ourselves to do better at work and impress our boss, or to stand up to to a “pal” who’s making you feel like shit. If you don’t have a handle on your stress it can be super flippin’ easy to go all Nazi on everyone, though. Man have I put my parents and partner through some SHIT cause I’m havin’ a psycho stress FREAK OUT. You know the ones. Where you can’t rationalise and you’re overthinking EVERYTHING and nothing ANYONE says will calm you down and the world is JUST GOING TO END. Yeah, those. Work stress is the number ONE thing human beans tend to stress over, and boy is it a killah. We spend the majority of our time at work, and if you’re not enjoying yourself, it isn’t a good time. I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves and when our expectations aren’t in our control you feel like everything’s going to shit! The obvious – working long hours, poor management and workplace bullying are such insanely common factors in the workplace. It actually sickens me to think of what some people go through at work and how much stress they’re putting on themselves, not only mentally, but physically too. If work is making you THAT unwell and unhappy. BE GONE WITH IT. Search for something else. There will be a workplace for you and a team that treats you the way you deserve to be treated. If you don’t move on, how will you ever know, right? I definitely KNOW I overthink way too much and know that leads to the majority of my stress. “Do my friends actually like me?” “Will people want to hang with me even though I’ve gained all this weight?” “Fuck I’ve gained a lot of weight” “Shit I’m getting sick, can’t afford to have sick day, but am dying, lord help me Jesus.” “I HAVE NO FUCKING MONEY SO NO I WILL NOT COME OUT FOR A PINT.” *majority of time still proceeds to go out for middy as yolo. I don’t think a lot of humans understand the physical thangs that can impact you when dealing with stress... and I deal with these things most days when faced with stress: -Low energy. “Yes I have slept 17 hours. No I will not get up anytime soon. Yes I will proceed to lay here doing nothing, thank you.” -Pounding headaches. Your BRAIN is workin’ too fkn hard. Prob gonna explode soon. -Upset tummy. Legit. Always scout for bathrooms. Stress can srsly give you THE SHITS. -Chest pain. Am I having a heart attack? But I’m too young to die. -insomnia. wOT.iz.SLEP? I’ll just lay here staring at my boyfriend until he can feel my eyes burning into him and then maybe he’ll give me attention -Sick. All. The. Fucking. Time. Tissues and nasal spray are my new bestfriends. AND LETS NOT EVEN GET FUCKIN STARTED ON LIBIDO. Man, you think I wanna ride dat WHEN I’M WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER I’M GONNA HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT TO BUY LUNCH BC MY PAY HASN’T GONE IN OR IF MY TYRES GONNA GO FLAT ON ME IN THE MORNING BC ITS REALLY OLD AND BALDING AND OMG I JUST CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD I AM DEALING WITH SO MUCH RITE NOW U ARE SO SELFISH TO EVEN SUGGE- You get it. I’ve tried basically everything known to man to DEAL with stress. There’s no cure, ya just gotta DEAL. Here’s a few little things I like to do to try and de-stress and calm my mind. -Meditate. Seriously. Its not just for hippies. It really works!!! Even 10 mins a day. There’s something hell chilled about listening to a man telling you to focus on your breathing. Having the ability to control your breathing will help SO SO much when dealing with stress. -Yoga. Again, not just for hippies. A super good exercise to clear your silly little head. In fact, any fuckin exercise. Seriously ITS TRUE. EXERCISE IS THE FLIPPIN CURE. SWEAT THAT STRESS OUUUUUTTT. -Light up scented candles and make your space smell nice. Ain’t no-one gon’ be stressed with a caramel smellin’ bedroom lemme tell ya. -Open your windows and get some fresh light in. As much as you might wanna retreat in your cave, that sunlight and cool breeze will do a world of wonders. Trust. Breathe that shit in. -HAVE A GOOD SLEEP. Stay the fuck away from your phone at least half an hour before you go to sleep. Yes, god forbid, don’t check insta (unless its mine) right before you go to sleep. Your phone light is the worst stimulant and I guarantee it’ll keep you up longer than you should. Just layin’ there. STRESSING about how tired you’re gonna be at work the next day. - I hate saying this, but cut down on the booze and drink MUCH, muuuch more water. Don’t get me wrong, I love a glass of red after a stressful day. But I don’t have a whole bottle. Unless its Friday… or Saturday…or Sunday night…. Fuck I have a problem. -Have a bath, cleanse your face and listen to some super chilled out tunes. There’s something about that warm water that just chills me da eff out. Probably warming up my COLD HEART -Lastly for me: Writing. Getting all your thoughts out. Especially at the end of the day right before bed. We all love to vent, and I GUARUNTEE 1000% you’ll feel so much better getting it all out, instead of having all those poisonous thoughts locked up in your head. Stress is not something you should feel like you have to justify or explain. Your entitled to your stress. Just don’t let it consume your life. It does still consume a lot of my life but I’m working on dealing with it a lot more. And remember, worrying is like punishing yourself twice. So don’t fuckin do it, yeah?
