Extremely obsessed with Red's nug mermaid tattoo

[topshelfcityelf]

Red is the type of guy who can cheerfully panic and keep doing his thing. All the physical symptoms are there, but his affect is in opposite. His voice just keeps getting more and more strained, and his sarcasm meter goes through the roof. The worse a situation is, the more he will throw out words like "stupendous" or "magnificent" to describe it. The more scared he is, the more manic he will seem.

He doesn't scare easy but he has certain things that will send him spiraling in a way that's very obvious to everyone except him (he's the one wondering "why can't I breathe all of a sudden? Why is my face damp? I'm crying???) He'll insist he's fine and laugh about it.

He's claustrophobic and gets skeeved out by rats. He hates being alone but fears vulnerability and emotional intimacy, which he deals with by being a funny guy and pushing people away when they get too personal. Its just jokes and deflection and redirection all the way down, and if he's truly panicking hard, he will self-isolate and come back when he's better.

Rook Intro Hour: Fear

Hey, there! Happy Monday! Think I’m going to do a few of these based around some of the major kinds of DA demons? Could be fun!

How it works: I ask you a question about your Rook(s) and you answer it with as much brevity or verbosity as you desire. The easiest way for me to keep track of everyone is for you to reblog this post and add your answer, although you can also mention me in a separate post, if you want! You can do this whenever you want, and I’ll reblog it + add some comments! There’s no time limit— if you want to do the older ones, they are collected here! (The post is updated on Fridays!)

*Please be aware that if you rb RIH to a community WITHOUT rbing to your blog first, I CANNOT rb and comment. If you want me to comment, please put the post on YOUR BLOG first. Thanks!

Today’s Question(s): How does Rook react when they're afraid of something? Are they scared easily? Can other people tell? What is/are their biggest fear(s)?

Have fun, be creative, and thanks for sharing !

Mod to make the elf body sliders taller in Veilguard WHEN?

[topshelfcityelf]

Assan missed you while you were gone

Davrin is just taking a little break from chopping wood 🤗

Veilguard is infinitely better without fast travel. You miss out on so much just jumping to whatever place on the map. I'll admit that the crossroads fights get tedious, but you can run right past them (I was playing immersively so I fought them every time, generally do not recommend, but it will get you very buff very fast). I explored and discovered so much more on the playthrough where I didn't use fast travel. There's so much ambient dialog out in the world. If you're fast traveling everywhere in this game, you are missing a lot.

Anyone figured out how to access this ladder in the Nocen Corridor during the Returned Cultist quest?

Bringing your crush to the Anderfels and acquiring a new crush right in front of them

[topshelfcityelf]

Damn I can't imagine why Rook wouldn't want to "hear Solas out" on his genocide plans after killing Varric right in front of their salad. Rook obviously lacks critical thinking skills because they *checks notes* trusted their friends' word and their own damn experience over the opinion of the trickster god of lies. Wild.

Can't stop laughing at the fact that Neve just waltzes into the infirmary and bends over for literally no reason and that's the first non-hallucinatory thing Rook sees after waking up

[topshelfcityelf]

The most relatable person in DATV is the random Minrathous citizen who's like "I'd like to do something to help, but my BACK 💀"

[topshelfcityelf]

Red has a "technically not a pet" seagull named Pearl. It turned up on his ship injured, and he nursed it back to health, and it decided to stick around. Its a ratty, sick looking beast. He doesn't claim ownership of it. It harasses anyone and everything. It's a menace at the lighthouse: steals food, shiny things, teaches Assan the joys of swooping down at peoples faces... and Red cheerfully denies ownership and pretends he does not see any of it. It's a wild animal! Are you telling me you can't handle a measly little bird? Sounds like a skill issue.

He also takes Pearl with him whenever they go back to Rivain and tosses it towards the other seagulls hoping it will rejoin its kind. It never does, which is good, because he would be actually devastated if anything happened to that scrungly little bird.

Rook Intro Hour: Pets

Hello! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!

How it works: I ask you a question about your Rook(s) and you answer it with as much brevity or verbosity as you desire. You can do this whenever you want, and I’ll reblog it + add some comments! There’s no time limit— if you want to do the older ones, they are collected here! (The post is updated on Fridays!)

Today’s Question(s): Has Rook ever had any pets? What kind? Would they get another one?

Have fun, and thanks for sharing!

Way to walk it back, Red 😂

[topshelfcityelf]

I'm so normal about her

[topshelfcityelf]

There's actually nothing contradictory about the Lords of Fortune being ethical pirates if you uncouple the idea of criminality from morality but most people aren't ready to have that conversation

Starting a modest collection of Red pointing an accusing finger at Solas and telling him exactly where he can shove it
