Wanna Know OC Tag

Tagged by No one, I stole it from @pelle-lavellan （*ﾟーﾟ）

Tagging: @sakurabunnie @frenchy-and-the-sea @hadiden-lavellan @elevanetheirin @dmonfoxriot @wtfenris any one else who wants to try.

(人◕ω◕)

(adding the first question, since not everyone knows everyone’s OCs!)

Who are your OCs? Names & titles/description & what fandom (if any)?

I have an extenstive list of OCS because the massive writing projects I’m working on. But here’s a a complete list.

Masterlist OCs

Dragon Age Origins:

Sereda Aeducan 27

Daylen Amell 25

Joan Cousland 19

Frigg Brosca 25

Lanna Surana 19

Hilda Laurent: 21

Dragon Age 2:

Marian Hawke 32

Aiolos Hawke 27

Emrys Myrddin :26

Dragon Age Inquisition:

Humans:

Victoria Aurelius 49

Lucius Aurelius 30

Antonia Aurelius 26

Abby Aurelius 6

Mother Helene 60

Luther Osborn 62

Maxwell De Castellet 30

Kathrine De Castellet 56

Piper De Castellet 36

Michael De Castellet 5

Evelyn Trevelyn 37

Sofia Trevelyan 33

Cadmus Pentaghast 24-25 ?

Chua (Cadmus’ Mother)

Satine 45

Gavin Adaar 26

Penswith 53

Rozse Trevelyan 36

Ruby the Rat 21

Elves:

Soli Humael 25

Reyla Humael 27

Sofrino Humael 52

Mani Huron 19

Feydor Huron 23

Vashoth:

Herah Adaar 32

Izzy Adaar 53

Armojan Adaar 35

Lou ‘Rum’ Penswith 32

Callitus 52

Dwarves:

Elspeth Cadash 22

Calder Cadash 31

Human/ Elven Hybrids:

Jini Aurelius 24

Belvantia Aurelius 24

Which of your ocs are you the most similar to?

Victoria, I feel torn down by society, health and pressures of maintaning relationship. In the end, no matter how I try, I feel like a failure at almost everything I do. Good intentions are the pathway to hell. I feel we share the same ending. The Magister is the closet I’ve allow a fictional character mirror my emotional reality.

The Magister 1, 2 , 3, 4 , 5

“You can be assured that the Magister was every bit intelligent and abject as reports had suggested. I often found myself bewildered by her dark wit, scope of her education, and the twisted peculiars of her depraved mind.”

How do you differ?

I haven’t completely jump into the void, I’m trying to avoid becoming like my characterby keep hope in Pandora’s box.

Which of your ocs is the type of person you aspire to be like?

That’s a good question. I would like to be Belvantia or Soli, both characters are comfortable with who they are and live in ease because they love themselves. Not quite on the level of narcissism.

Ship-a-thon meme

I was tagged by the amazing @ladynorbert a while ago and, due to my terrible time management skills, am showing up a day late and a dollar short as usual. But I am very grateful for the tag! <3 I won’t tag anyone in return, since I figure most people did this already, but if you haven’t and would like to, consider this your chance!Answers below the cut due to length.

First ship you ever read fic for: I believe it was Anthony/Johanna from the film version of Sweeney Todd, but I could be wrong about that.

First ship you ever wrote fic for: I wrote fanfic before I even really knew what fanfic was, but the first fanfic I wrote knowingly was for the Johnlock ship - John Watson/Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock. Those early fics are truly dreadful by my standards today, but it helped get me on the path to fanfiction and Tumblr, so I can't complain.

Ship you write the most now: Oh my gosh, Cullevelyan, without a doubt - that is, Cullen Rutherford/Female Trevelyan OCs from the game Dragon Age: Inquisition. Cullen is my darling, so I love writing him and I most often get to write him opposite the brilliant @ladynorbert and her OC Evangeline Trevelyan. But I also love shipping him with my Trevelyan Inquisitor Rowan and with ladynorbert's Inquisitor, Victoria, who appears in the wonderful "All This Sh*t Is Twice As Weird". In pretty much all incarnations, I adore Cullevelyan.

Ship you read the most now: I've been doing so much writing and editing and posting of my own fic that I haven't had too much of a chance to actually read a lot. But a few months ago I did binge read a whole bunch of stuff for Morse/Joan from the tv series Endeavour. God, I love those two (plus they remind me of Cullen/Evvy, so it's like double shipping).

Newest ship: Hmm. Probably the aforementioned Morse/Joan.

Rare ship you want to read more of: Ooh, an oldie but a goodie that I quite nearly forgot about - Switzerland/Belarus from Hetalia. Most of the fanfics about them are crackfics or fics people wrote as part of contests that spat the pairing out at random, but I want more of them as actual pairing.

Your taboo ship: I am the most vanilla person you could ever meet, so I don't really think I have too terribly many taboo anythings in my life, LOL.

"They never met in canon" ship: Switzerland/Belarus definitely fit that. Another one of my favs is Rosalie Rutherford/Cremisius Aclassi from Dragon Age. Rosalie doesn't appear in canon at all (only in mention), but when ladynorbert and I wrote our longfic "The Lady and the Lion," we thought it would be an adorable pairing and boy, were we right. A lot of the ships in that story fall into that category, come to think of it, like Josephine Montilyet/Branson Rutherford. That was fabulous too.

Your unexpected ship: The ones I just mentioned above, plus Nygmobblepot (Ed Nygma/Oswald Cobblepot) from the show Gotham. I hate superheroes, so the fact that I willingly watch Gotham is still wild to me, but add into that shipping Riddler and Penguin? Yeah, didn’t expect any of it.

The ship you always forget to love: I tend to write and ship as the wind blows, so a lot of my ships do get lost in the shuffle. Some that I adore and have ideas for but haven't had a chance to write include Mulder/Scully from The X-Files, Howl/Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle, and Haymitch/Effie from The Hunger Games. Also, until I started doing this meme, I forgot a bit about the spectacular Will/Anastasia from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. They were fabulous.

Ship your OC with a canon character: Probably the best example I have of this is my OC (and admitted author insert) Rory Norbertson from the “Skyhold Academy Yearbook” series whom I accidentally started shipping with Cremisius Aclassi. And I have loved every single second of it.

A ship you're embarrassed to ship: Nygmobblepot. Just to be clear, I have made some awesome friends through this ship, so it’s not that I’m embarrassed about that. I’m just a little embarrassed about how obsessed I was for those few months, LOL.

Your most romantic ship: Oh, Cullevelyan. Without a doubt. The romance practically writes itself.

Your sexiest ship: Cullevelyan again. I mean, ladynorbert and I are the queens of the “fade to black” so nothing is ever shown, but the implication is there. And, in some cases, it’s there frequently. Have you read “The Lady and the Lion”? Yeah.

Your most tragic ship: You may notice that my blog description reads "Fangirl, Aspiring Author, Shipper of Tragic Ships". I have QUITE a few ships that are extremely tragic (*sighs*) so it's hard to pick just one. Pretty much any of my ships in Downton Abbey or Merlin come to mind. (*sighs again*) (*sighs forever*)

A ship you want more content for: ALL my ships!

#Thanks again for the tag #ship meme #meme #text post #long post #my ships

I don’t care that OC Week was last week here are my Dragon Age OCs

sorry for the shitty picture I couldn’t get the game to cooperate

Vaeda “Noblesse Oblige” Aeducan. Really loves her dog. Eternally bitter about being banished. She and Shale are bffs. Will save the world with friendship whether it likes it or not. Adorable and knows it. Put Anora on the throne and it was only mostly because she wanted to keep her boyfriend. She started out as a one handed warrior but ended up being a rogue which was kind of awkward for my stats.

Joan Trevelyan. Based on Joan of Arc. Strong in faith and will. Embraces her role as the Herald. A good leader, savvy in politics, does whatever it takes to succeed. The only time I’ve ever not done a romance.

Talfryn Lavellan. 100% homosexual. Loves his tevinter mage boyfriend even though he can’t take him home to meet the family. Sick of these shems. He’s not even Andrastrian. Stop. Solas can meet him in the fucking pit.

Hissera Adaar. I worked really hard to make her look as much like the Dragon Age 2 qunari and I think I nailed it. 10000% done with you, with the rifts, with the anchor. Ready to fight at all times. Snarkmaster level 10. Doesn’t have time for anyone’s shit. With fuck you up with magical lightning.

These are my people and I love them all.

no. 4 from the 'good parts' list for Joan/Harding for DA DWC, if you fancy? <3

thank you!! this was such a delight to write, this is one of my absolute favourite prompts <3

written for @dadrunkwriting

4. We slept in the same bed for space reasons but now we’re just waking up and there’s something about your bleary eyes and mussed hair from this list

Joan figured that the Maker must have been having a laugh when He, in his infinite wisdom, decided to make the Emprise.

Well, Joan amended, He’d probably been having a laugh when he invented all of Orlais.

It wasn’t a long journey from Skyhold to Emprise du Lion, but it was a pain in the ass. Scout Harding had taken up the role of fourth member of the party by virtue of being the only one with any sense of direction in the snow. And sweet Andraste, there was a lot of snow.

The wind began to whip up, sending small crystals of ice lancing across Joan’s face. Impressive, really, given that she was bundled up to the approximate size of a marshmallow. She could hear distant shouting. She shifted her massive earmuffs out of the way to hear Harding better.

“Storm coming, we’ll need to stop for the night,” Harding called over the wind. Lace, she’d said Joan could call her. “There’s a tavern up ahead I’ve been to a fair few times.”

Joan let out a tiny sigh of relief. At least she wouldn’t have to spend another night in a tent. With the snow.

Unfortunately, as it happened, the inn was almost full-up. The inn-keeper anxiously explained that there were only two rooms left. Bull and Dorian agreed to share with a surprisingly minimal amount of bickering. Which meant that Joan was sharing with Lace.

What the inn-keeper neglected to mention was that there was only one bed per room. Joan had blushed crimson red from the tips of her ears down to her toes when she realized. She had the thought that she should nobly decline and sleep on the floor, but she was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

The first thing that Joan noticed when she woke up was the warm feeling of an arm loosely slung across her waist. The pieces from the night before slowly clicked into place as she slowly opened her eyes, squinting in the early dawn light.

At some point in the night, she’d turned to face Lace. She was, at the moment, immensely grateful that she had. She had a front row seat to the most beautiful sight in Thedas.

The bright light, glinting off of the freshly fallen snow, filtered in through the heavy curtains. It highlighted the freckles that dappled Lace’s face like a constellation. Scars danced across her skin, reminders of the number of fights she’d won (and lost). Her long hair, normally neatly braided back, was in wild disarray. In the light, it shone like molten copper.

They say that things that are beautiful are graceful and delicate, and that things that are sublime are overwhelming and unknowable. As the air left her lungs in a rush, Joan realized that Lace was both.

Joan wasn’t particularly given to religion, she’d known too many members of the Chantry for that. But in the early light of the morning, with Lace’s arm wrapped around her, she felt dangerously close to having a religious experience.

That thought was driven from her head when Lace made a small noise and snuggled her face against Joan’s shoulder. Joan’s heart stuttered to a halt, and she momentarily forgot to breathe. She must’ve made a sound, because Lace shifted next to her.

“Morning,” Lace said blearily. Joan could get used to hearing that. For the rest of her life, in fact. She badly wanted to run a hand through Lace’s hair, to find out if it was as soft as it looked.

“Did I wake you?” she asked instead.

“No, I always like to get up with the sun,” Lace explained. A delicate blush dusted her cheeks when she realized her arm was still wrapped around Joan. “Oh! Sorry, I’m a cuddler. Should’ve mentioned.”

“No worries,” Joan said faintly. Lace nodded awkwardly and shifted to get off the bed.

Joan couldn’t say what made her reach out. Loneliness, maybe. A bone-deep sense of want that, for just a moment, had been quieted by the feeling of Lace’s arm around her. Whatever it was, she found herself reaching out for Lace’s arm. Lace turned to face her, her green eyes still soft from sleep. Joan hesitantly cupped her face in her hands.

“I think I’d like to kiss you,” she rasped. A radiant smile broke across Lace’s face, brighter than the sun glinting off of the freshly fallen snow.

“I thought you’d never ask.”
