i love the lore that donnic plays cards with fenris not least of which becuz it brings me joy to try to conceive of how this happened. imagine fenris is sick of varric making jokes about him brooding in his corpse-filled mansion so he decides to host card games becuz that is a normal thing for sociable free people to do. but he needs to show varric that he knows more than just hawke's circle and he remembers that aveline got married to that one guard and figures that'll suffice. so he tracks donnic down at a bar or his place of work and approaches him in his perfunctory way and says i am hosting cards this evening, you should come, if you would like. and donnic only vaguely knows this man as someone his wife runs around committing crimes with in her free time and he thinks it's nice fenris is reaching out so he says sure where do you live. and this elf with a foreign accent carrying a sword as long as he is tall tells him he lives in the abandoned mansion in hightown. and donnic is just like,, okay i'll see you there then. fenris just says you shall and leaves. and then donnic gets there and the other players are varric who is a renowned author and criminal and the darktown healer who (from his wife's complaints) is supposed to be at odds with fenris. and this is just his life now
god okay i want to shit post and make jokes about tags and also talk about alkaloid in the dungeon meshi au so lets do the jokes first
(tags from @/mutsuowo)
(tags from @/agried thank you for ur thoughts sm sm i really appreciated them)
The original idea for alkaloid is kinda the idea of.... Kabrus party a secondary group of adventurers led by Hiiro and people he met to go pick up Rinne and take him home. But I had kinda zero'd into the Canary influence and liked the idea of Mayoi being this tracker Canary who terrfied people and then you talk to her and shes like. screaming and crying.
Aira was originally going to be a half-foot bard and he still could be! A lot of this stuff is up in the air and unsure. Tatsumi was Kaname's school friend either way and is pretty well known around the island. Himeru goes out of his way to avoid him and I think Tatsumi maybe isnt fully aware of what went down in there. I think he probably got teleported out sans a leg or something and when seeing what he assumes is "Kaname" he feels too guilty to speak up for him until the Canaries roll around again looking for him.
It is also a cute idea for Aira to just be a guy though. Maybe he writes a column for the paper about the dungeon and the adventurers. I feel bad because I probably dont have huge ideas for people!! So really I just want it to be fun.
hi new followers! If you’re here from twitter, rejoice: my screenshots look WAY better here. I haven’t been too active in creating my own content lately, but I’m still active here reblogging and finding new folks to follow.
I have some aesthetics/inspiration blogs for my characters (+ Aymeric) at @triple-flare , @whisperoftheland and @blue-litany respectively. All three have ENORMOUS queues I need to get off my ass and tag.
@esides is my personal/meme repository/complete hodgepodge blog if you’re at all interested in that
aaand @fadetouchedfennec is a brand-new place for me to shove my Dragon Age blathering so I can keep from spamming my poor twitter circle with it
losing my goddamn mind over this being varric's author portrait on Swords & Shields
who's idea was this? who arranged this? his publisher? who are these women? is this a painting varric had to sit for? how does varric feel about this? how did this affect cassandra's opinion of varric prior to meeting him? how badly did varric's friends roast him over this? i have so many questions
one of my favorite genres of follower/mutual interaction is when someone i see only occasionally in my notes pops in, likes and maybe reblogs something from far enough back i don’t even remember when i posted it, and disappears back into the night. what are you doing there. why that one. how did you even find it. there is no theme. i don’t tag consistently enough for there to be a theme. it’s just ‘oop that one’s between 85 and 102 hours old. yoink!’
