Hello fellow weirdos. I know Tumblr is the snark site, but for the past several years I've been the producer on a time-looping RPG called In Stars and Time by @insertdisc5, and it has been one of the best experiences of my career. We're launching November 20th on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 and 5.

https://www.instarsandtime.com/

It has:

A character-driven story with comedy, drama, and found family

Time loop puzzles and shenanigens to surprise, confound, and maybe even creep you out

A story that made our Japanese localizer cry

Secrets, surprises, and the fish head

If you were so inclined, please check us out at the link above for a trailer and more info. It would mean a lot, and then I can stop being earnest and genuine on here and go back to reblogging niche Star Trek memes and shitposts.

Thank.

i'm bored so it's time to throw rocks*, here are the types of reality tv/game shows i think the inquisition companions would watch

cassandra would watch one of those romance ones, like too hot to handle or love is blind, and get really, really invested. she's active on the reddits for her favorite shows. all of the cheesy, painfully heterosexual-but-strangely-sanitized reality TV horniness works well on her, she's the intended audience 100%. she's genuinely sad about it when couples break up after the show ends.

varric likes interpersonal dramas and gossip and backstabbing, he watches the vh1 dating shows. he knows most of it is fake, but that's what he likes about it, and he appreciates the classics. anything with "of love" in it, he loves it, he's there. he thinks newer shows work too hard to convince people they're actually real because he thinks embracing the fakeness makes it more fun.

solas has been watching reality tv since the OG: survivor. he's seen every season. he has very strong opinions about play strategies and a personal ranking of the best players of all time just ready to go if you just ask. he's convinced he would win if he was on it, but deep deep down he knows he would never get the votes to win at the end because he'd be seen as a villain and won't apply.

vivienne thinks she's above this kind of garbage tv, but she actually really likes the masked singer. she's pretty good at guessing the celebrities, but she doesn't put much effort into guessing after a point. she's in it entirely to relax and quietly fantasize about being on it herself, because so much of her life is about playing games of intrigue and survival and perception. she records the episodes and skips most of the judging because she doesn't think the judges are funny and gets annoyed when they make stupid guesses.

sera likes the obstacle course-type shows like wipeout and the floor is lava. anything where people have to come up with creative solutions and also might get hit with a giant thing made of foam and get smacked around like a rag doll. sera has been trying to convince people to team up with her and apply for this type of show for ages and it never works out. she also likes the really weird off-brand ones that only ever get one season, like who wants to be a superhero or opposite worlds.

blackwall likes the circle. he always quietly roots for the catfish. no reason.

iron bull is a drag race superfan. come on, one of them had to be. he's been watching since the season 1 vaseline filter days. he approaches each new season with the masculine seriousness of a suburban dad planning a fantasy sports lineup and correctly predicts every winner three episodes in. he would absolutely volunteer for a makeover episode if he could. his favorite queens are usually the pageant queens; he likes the sparkly ones, and the pageant queens always end up covered in rhinestones.

dorian loves innovation and being judgy, so he loves shark tank and anything similar. he enjoys episodes with absolutely terrible inventions just as much as the good ones, and is the kind of viewer who actually will go ahead and buy something he saw on the show -- including the really stupid ones, because he gives them to his friends as joke gifts.

cole watches those shows that are equal parts talent competition and sappy backstories, like american idol, x-factor, the voice, stuff like that. he always cries a little when someone does a ballad. he never votes because he can never decide who deserves to win the most, and he doesn't watch the results shows because they make him too sad.

cullen watches HGTV and gets belligerent if you point out that house hunters is fake. unclear if that's because he thinks you're being a wet blanket or because it was news to him and he doesn't want to admit it.

josephine likes strategy and competition, but the grime, physical danger, and "eat this gross thing" challenges of survivor aren't fun to her. instead, she's really into big brother. josephine is convinced that she would win big brother if she was ever on it, and she's correct, but she can't take the time off work.

leliana is an OG ANTM fan. she'll dabble in other shows that center on makeup and fashion, but she always ends up going back to the classics and the older seasons, as she feels like the current era of ANTM is too gimmicky and self-aware. the human rights violations are allowed if they make good TV.

*this is for fun don't actually throw things at me please

**also if you like this and think "i'm gonna give this fine person a follow because they're so funny about dragon age", i made a new DA sideblog at @skyholdstarbucks where i'd post anything similar to this in the future

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤

😍😍😍 this is so fun, thanks!! I decided to do the same thing as you and exclude my longfics because obviously if I write 50k+ of something then I love love love it! so assume those are fully rec'd lol. But to recommend a one shot for each ship:

Run: [3k] Fair warning, this is dubcon, but I think I did a good job walking the line and setting up a dark alternate Season Two for Rivusa.

Antidote: [6k] I know "Fuck or Die" can be a squick for some, but it's Silrah, do they really need that much of a push?

Brewing Chemistry: [11k] It was fun to take Saundreas out of life-or-death stakes but still at each other's throats, unsure whether they want to fuck or punch each other first.

From Scratch: [5k] I wanted to write the "found family" Christmas fic, how traditions can link us to the past in ways that are comforting because they don't change and melancholy because we do.

Hostages: [1k] Ha, this one I just wanted to cause maximum psychic damage to Saul, Sky, and tumblr user skloomdumpster in particular.

Ahhhhhh, Nonny!!! This is so hard to answer! I love all my fics (otherwise I wouldn't write them). So I guess I'll post the five I've loved the most recently and that are posted (I don't want to include ones that aren't posted yet because who knows when they'll go up 😅 😂)

In no particular order... (and without the actual blurbs for each story because some of them are a bit long)

December Dreams (AO3)

It's just a simple little story about two people in love (and it's Christmas).

All it Takes to Grow (AO3)

Another, fluffy little story. Specifically, a meet cute with all the balcony scenes.

The Big Day (AO3) - in progress

Luka and Marinette's wedding day doesn't go exactly as planned...

Chords and Courtship (AO3) - in progress

My Regency AU, aka, my excuse for all the romance.

I Should be Asleep (AO3) - in progress

This one is a little different in the way I've written it, but I am a sucker for these two falling in love.

I'm obviously in the romance mode right now, which is definitely informing my answers 😂

And I'm going to cheat and also say The Weight of the Mask (AO3) (in progress) because it's such an exciting and challenging story to write

Hello friend! 4 and 29 for the writer Qs please! And 42 if you have one?

Hi friend! I'm going to keep talking about everything is relative to you because I don't remember details about my earlier fics 😂

4. What detail in EIRTY are you really proud of?

I actually read A Brief History of Time while writing it, and I found a few ideas especially fascinating:

1. There are two main theories that explain the universe: general relativity (a theory of gravity: e=mc2 stuff, the bending of light and space-time, etc.) and quantum mechanics (what happens with teeny tiny particles, including quantum uncertainty).

2. Scientists still haven't really figured out how to combine those two theories into a "quantum theory of gravity" or, in other words, a "theory of everything".

3. String theory is a theory that attempts to unify general relativity with quantum mechanics. But it hasn't been proven.

So when I wrote,

It’s the string theory connecting it all. The thing tethering Harry’s inescapable gravity with the uncertainty of the universe. It’s the theory of everything, and it breaks Draco’s fucking heart.

that's what I was referencing. Kind of proud of that! Yes, I'm a nerd. Or a swot as the brits like to say.

29. What songs would be (or are) on a playlist for EIRTY? Explain your choices if you want!

I discovered Andromeda by Weyes Blood while writing Everything is Relative to You. Both the lyrics and melody really reflect the mood of the story.

Much of the fic was written while listening to the instrumental soundtrack of the movie Persuasion. Whatever you think of Dakota Johnson's iPhone face, that music is wonderful. Here's a link to my spotify playlist (it's just the soundtrack without one song)

I also listened to Snow on the Beach a lot. @phoebe-delia would probably see the references to it that slipped in there towards the end, since they aren't very well hidden 😂

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

A few things really stand out to me in the comments:

When people tell me their physical reactions to the story: laughing, legs kicking, sobbing, tears streaming down (a personal favorite, THANK YOU @nv-md). I am always so touched that my writing has moved someone that much.

I love when people quote certain lines that really resonated with them. It never fails to make me see my writing in a new light. (Love you, @epitomereally)

And it's always so meaningful when the person you wrote the fic for comments and you just know they completely get it. (I loved writing for you @amywaterwings)
