Dragon Age is my therapist

[3jarsofbees]

Uhh. Hi. Hello. Who's got two thumbs and finally recovered the password to this account?

It's been Literally Seven Years since my last AO3 update, but I wanted to mention in this space that my old Pavellan fic series, The Dreadful After, is finally, improbably, unbelievably finished, with the two last chapters up on "A Spark and a Shadow." (I did say "updates are coming"... in 2017. Pain. Never specified the wait time, I suppose...)

There are a lot of asks and comments I've left unanswered over all the years I've spent logged out of these accounts - if you are one of the people who's written to me, I am very very grateful to you for your kind words and so extremely sorry for my negligence! It's been a time, to say the least.

tb fully h, I'm not in the right headspace at the moment to run this account again in any reliable way (not the least of which because I'm trying to go into the upcoming game without spoilers - it's sort of a minefield out here, huh?) - feels like that info should probably be here at the top of this blog for now. But also, digging back into my old fic drafts brought back a lot of fond memories of this lovely community. So I wanted to pop in here to say hello and I'm sorry I'm like this and I miss you very much. May we meme together again sometime! ♥

Bit of a Shithole

Rating: M Fandom: Dragon Age 2 Pairing: Dorian Pavus/Male Hawke Chapters: 18/18 Words: 227,792

Summary:

“You really need to work on—this,” Hawke says, circling a wide gesture about Dorian’s entire self. “Beg pardon?” Dorian says. “The man who’s covered in blood from head to toe is going to criticize my aesthetic?” At a breaking point with his expected path in life, a young Dorian Pavus embarks on a rebellious journey to escape his family’s disappointment by drinking his way across Thedas. But when things go awry, Dorian finds himself stranded in the grimy streets of Kirkwall—a place where his magical talent, far from the advantage it’s always been, is suddenly a glaring liability. Things are looking pretty bleak. Until Dorian runs into a charming apostate named Garrett Hawke.

You can read this on AO3 here!

I've spent the last three years pouring everything I adore about Dragon Age into this fic, and now it's finished! I hardly know what to do with myself.

Except to say: If you like Dorian Pavus, Dragon Age 2, and niche rarepairs, boy oh boy do I have a very specific fic for you.

I wonder if lgbt people’s love for elves is that strong bc it was our only way to play gender nonconfirming characters. Even when we didn’t know that its even a thing.

[riessene]

Some basic fantasy rpg in 2003: theres not much difference between male and female elves physique. Also women can fight and men can have long hair. Not like us normal humans amiright! Wink wonk

5 Facts about Lumi

About 800 years ago I was tagged by @kurogoesinthedas for some OC facts, thank you so much! :D Since I’ve talked about my sweet Inky McArseface here before, allow me to share one of my other babies.

1. Lumi is a former Dalish elf turned city elf. After his clan mysteriously disappeared on him, leaving nothing but a torn-up camp where they’d once been, he retreated to the nearest city to survive. (Did something horrible happen to them? Did they just move on and forget him? Is it Home Alone: Thedas Edition? To this day, Lumi isn’t sure.)

2. Lumi isn’t a mage... or is he? No, he isn’t, but he adores magic and thinks it’s the coolest thing. While he’s but a simple rogue, he does have the perfect skill set for learning sleight-of-hand tricks/close-up “magic.” Think card tricks and producing a coin from your ear. Not enough to fool an actual mage, but get a few drunks in a dark corner of a tavern and they might be briefly convinced.

This is now part of his scheme to beg for coins on the street from impressionable humans: “Hello, it is I, the magical, mystical Dalish, come to delight your senses!”

Lumi loves to be mistaken for a mage and will cheerfully play along with the impression that he is one... much to actual mages’ chagrin, one might expect. Although:

3. Lumi has had the templars called on him seven times.

Unfortunately, “but I’m not really a mage!” is exactly what an undercover apostate might say...

One time he ceased his protests and let them take him all the way to the Circle. When it was finally discovered that he wasn’t actually a mage, a frustrated templar punched him in the face, busting up his nose into its current shape.

“Ah, now, that’s from when I was taken to the Circle,” he solemnly tells people about his broken nose. Literally no one believes him.

4. Lumi doesn’t drink... But he pretends to! (Yes, “dishonest front” is a theme with this one.) He’s the guy refilling empty bottles with water and carrying those around. (A holdover from the days of trying to swindle people out of a few coins -- helps when you’re secretly the only sober person in the room...)

With Dorian’s sophisticated intervention, it’s discovered that Lumi actually has an exceptional palate... and is simultaneously the biggest lightweight on the entire planet.

5. He has the most ridiculously expressive face. Somehow even the game has picked up on this for me. I don’t know how he does it.

I AM TAGGING: literally anyone who is reading this and wants to share some facts about their OCs. Please do it, I love OC facts!

COMMISSION POST WHADDAP

Pay me money and I will draw you things

Lemme know if you are interested

Here is a poorly made chart that kind of explains how much stuff costs

[3jarsofbees]

I’ve commissioned this lovely human a few times (here’s one!) and they’re fast, kind and brilliant. GO DO IT

[3jarsofbees]

Whenever I’m playing DA2 and I come across NPCs voiced by the same person as Cassandra, I have to imagine that’s just Varric forcing her to do the voices with him.

“C’mon, Seeker, you said you wanted accuracy. I can’t go that high. Just say, ‘the Hanged Man ees feeeeelthy...’“

“Ugh.”

[words-on-pages]

It’s been said before, but honestly one of the best feelings in the world is when you unexpectedly read a marvelously written fic and you click on the author’s name in AO3 and discover…more works.
