Alright I’ve had some time to sort things out, and pretty sure the reason why I’ve been needing more and more tumblr breaks lately is that… this blog stopped being a fandom blog a long time ago, which isn’t bad, except that means it’s not really a place I can use to unwind anymore, which isn’t good.
So I have another blog now. I’m leaving my queue as is, but once it runs out all fandom stuff, including my own, will be reblogged over there instead. Everything else stays here.
NB Fandom Blog
Hey nb pals and guys and gals!
We’ve created a blogspace for nb fans to congregate, post, and find nb-related content and it’d be super rad if you’d check it out, follow, spread this around to your friends and followers in as many fandoms as you can reach, and start submitting (or tagging us) so we can get some more content rolling out!
Our super cool awesome new blog boasts such goodies as
a dedicated tagging system by fandom, character, ship, and content medium
a safe space for nb fans to share their content, meta, headcanons, and selfies
a resources tab for emergency info, trans history, health and presentation resources, and links to other cool nb social media spaces
an up and coming Creator Spotlight section to promote nb creators of both fan and original content
and more super fun times like plans for diversity and theme weeks!
Got questions? You can browse our faq & submission guidelines and/or send us an ask. We talk a lot and are, like, real great at words and stuff.
We’re real excited to see our community grow and look forward to having you be a part of it!
anyway yeah I kinda learned how to mod inquisition just so I could give Old Lady Cadash her wrinkles back? and then i edited her face a bit while i was at it.
also I’m trying to shake off seasonal depression (aka January Is A Terrible Month And I Don't Like It) & general listlessness, so I’ve decided that this week is My OCs, Let Me Show You Them week, b/c I never actually talk about my OCs even tho it's literally in the blog's description:
-her name is actually malika
-yes that is the default name
-listen i am not good at naming things and i just wanted to play the game
-dual-wielding rogue (assassin) who would've been an archer if i'd known then what i know now but i'm not retconning it
-i am retconning her using the default worldstate tho
-listen i didn't have one ready to use and i just wanted to play the game
-instead she comes after a surana who survived the blight without morrigan's ritual and a hawke that is actually a shepard (... loooong story)
-anyway
-officially Too Old For This Shit
-stubborn and set in her ways
-they're good ways. they've kept her alive so far
-she’s p laid-back and chill, which tends to make people forget that she and her brother p much single-handedly turned the family into a Carta powerhouse
-turns out it's very easy to be laid-back and chill when you can just get people stabbed, js
-was at the conclave both b/c the conclave was Serious Business and to supervise her grandniece (?) who was just about ready to take her succession at the head of the family
-her own survival felt like the punchline to the worst joke ever
-honestly i don't really have anything interesting to say about her relationship with the Inner Circle? she ended up befriending everyone partly b/c it was my first pt and partly b/c again, laid-back and chill
-she treats all of them like they're her kids anyway
-all of them
-drama is for the young
-but mostly like she won't really argue with you, she'll just listen to your take on things and then have you carefully watched should your take on things run counter to her interests and then have you slightly killed should she feel the need to
-y'know. as you do
-for all of that, she herself had hardly ever killed anyone before joining the Inquisition
-she may or may not have some unresolved guilt re: all of the deaths she did order or indirectly caused, in a 'well someone had to take charge of things after everything went sideways in orzammar and besides it was all just business, but maybe i should feel bad about it' sorta way
-that's her private business tho and she's still 100% unapologetic about her past to anyone who asks
-i really need to replay her game so i can take her through the dlc and also possibly maybe write that cadash fic i've only been planning for like two years now

other mods used: Deshine Series for stock PC textures || Immersive Starting Armour || No Sideburns || Wavy Hair
anyway i’m awake at a decent hour and strangely motivated so i’m gonna get myself a mug of something or other and then i’m gonna be writing that SoSu origin fic live over on google docs.
i’ll be there for a couple hours (as of ~8 AM GMT) so feel free to drop by and say hi :3
tathas & the character of your choice, sci fi AU?
~*~*~*~
this is not three sentences but honestly who cares.
~*~*~*~
The first time Cole tries to tell a knock-knock joke, Tathas assumes it’s just Varric playing a prank on her. This has the dwarf’s fingerprints all over, and who else would think to teach a VI bad jokes?
As days pass and Cole’s behaviour grows stranger and stranger, she is forced to admit that the dwarf has nothing to do with this. Which is not good, because option B is far, far worse.
Any single protocol in existence as well as common fucking sense would dictate she pull the plug on even the slightest possibility of an emergent AI, only that would leave the Swiftwind stranded gods-know-where in the endless void of space with no navigation system to speak of and no way to hail a (very, very very very) hypothetical passing ship, and besides. She doesn’t want to.
The thing is, she likes Cole. If she’s to be completely honest she actually prefers him to most people she knows, and given that he’s often the only company she has for months on end, the bad jokes, the endless questions and the many, many attempts at brightening her days are a nice change of pace. He hardly seems like he’s about to kill her and take over the ship, and honestly even if he was, what would he even do with an old single-handed explorer class held together by sheer luck and lots of duct tape, chart people to death?
So fine, she’ll keep him running and keep it quiet. It’s not like she’s ever been a stickler for rules, and the Swiftwind hides worse things than an overly curious AI.
Besides, Varric will lose his shit when she tells him.
~*~*~*~
send me a character/characters + an AU setting, get a short fic.
also: this is a completely random question that has absolutely nothing to do with my recent efforts of dragging my motivation out of its cave, but, uh, if i start posting original fiction around here, how many of y’all would be interested in reading that?
tentative plans for the near future:
–accidental book club fic (fe fates)
–longer version of that not!solavellan zombie apocalypse au thingie i wrote forever ago (da)
–megan origin fic (fo4)
–something pikevahlia because unlikely ot3s are my lifeblood and also oh no it’s cute (cr)
i want to talk about The Novel too but i don’t know where to start and i am not good at talking about my own stuff so [insert shrug emoji]
reboggling this here for future reference.
also if I can finish even one of these this month i’ll buy myself something nice BUT if I can finish two i’ll buy myself something nice and ~expensive~.

send me a character/characters + an AU setting, get a short fic.
Send me an anonymous ask completing the sentence "I wish you would write a fic where..."
1) Give me a pairing.
2) Give me an AU setting.
3) I will write you a three-sentence fic.
Reblogging again because I’m selfish and I WANT MORE THESE ARE SO FUN
Overture [WIP/DRAFT]
A/N: a short snippet for WIP Wednesday, mostly to show that I have in fact been working on stuff xD part of a larger scene that is part of a larger fic.
~*~*~*~
Megan is six, twelve, eighteen months old when her parents split up, a long, drawn-out-end to a long, drawn-out love.
This is how it goes: when Philip Van der Zee meets Abigail Lang, he is running late and she is running from the cops, barefoot, bare-headed, her banner (war is not freedom) trailing behind her like a standard. She jumps into his car and tells him to just drive!, and Philip decides there and then to go ahead and fall in love.
It takes time. Abigail is a law student, rabble-rouser, troublemaker; all his life Philip has been told to stay in line and keep his head down. But he loves her passion, her moral fiber and the way her face lights up when she smiles; she loves his patience, his sense of duty and the way his eyes soften when he talks about family. It take time; they make it work.
(The third time Abigail lands herself in the hospital, Philip breaks up with her. Two weeks later he’s asking her to marry him. Make up your goddamn mind!, she yells, but doesn’t say no.)
(When Philip joins the army, Abigail gives him his grandmother’s ring back and never accepts it again, not even after he comes home for the first time in almost a year and she falls into his arms with tears in her eyes and renewed promises.)
For seven years they make it work.
I’ve been playing The Secret World and I'm kinda surprised by how much I like it so far given almost everything about my faction’s intro sequence (@game devs please I beg of you stop shoving sex scenes in my face without asking first it’s super rude).
Anyway this is Mackenzie. A bee gave her magic powers so she’s been press-ganged into a secret society, and now she’s off to add even more chaos to a zombie apocalypse for some unfathomable reason.
Not a single word has been exaggerated and I am 100% on board with this tbh.

more fics about friendships that are structured just like ship fics
specifically like pining ship fics oh my god
forced to share a bed becomes “accidental sleepover, I didn’t realize adults could do this and I should be chill about how happy it makes me, but no one’s ever braided my hair and gossiped with me before, but I gotta play this cool because I don’t want to be pathetic, and I don’t want to be the person who likes the other person more, but g o s h, I want us to be friends, and not just friends, besties”
the coworker at your bakery/coffee shop/library/spy organization who smiles at you every day and asks about your weekend, but you can’t tell if they’re being nice or what, or if they’d actually say yes if you invited them out to coffee to talk about that hiking trip they went on, you don’t want to make things weird but work would be a lot easier if you had a friend
you’ve just moved to a new city and you cannot believe how many times you’ve had to knock on your neighbor’s door, but you didn’t pack like any of the things you need, and they don’t seem effusively happy that you keep asking to borrow shit like a vacuum or duct tape, but they also don’t rush you out of the door, and when you return what you borrowed, they ask you how it went, and one time you told a joke that made them laugh and you felt so good about it, you kept riffing on the joke for the next ten minutes and it isn’t until you went back to your place that you realized what an embarrassment you are
enemies to friends where you have to work with someone that you hate oh my god you hate them, and then you spend time with them, and then you don’t hate them quite so much, but stopping hating them? almost feels like? defeat?? you’ll stop acting like you hate them when they stop acting like they hate you, and honestly you’d really like them to stop acting like they hate you because they are the only other person you know that’s ever shared your interest for cold war spy thrillers and maybe this is the time for the book club of your dreams
your partner has a best friend and you’ve never hung out with them without your partner but now you are coordinating with the best friend for your partner’s surprise party and they are just the funniest, the sweetest, the nicest, the coolest, and suddenly your partner is concerned because you and your best friend are hanging out all the time, which is…great…awesome…….suddenly becoming the third wheel is just the funnest because who doesn’t like wheelbarrows (it becomes a whole Thing, and ends up resolving in a disney channel esque lecture of someone being like “Guys You Can Have More Than One Best Friend”)
you’re lonely and it sucks and it’s not the kind of thing that you can admit because you’ve got your pride, you don’t want to look desperate, you can’t tell people about loneliness without making them wonder what’s wrong with you because shouldn’t you have friends? who doesn’t have friends? but it’s gotten to the point where you look forward to buying groceries because you can make small talk with the clerk, you look forward to work because maybe you can slip in something personal in the course of talking about business, but if anyone asked you how you were doing and if you wanted to hang, you’d panic and say that you were busy. and you want to change. you in fact need to change, but. yeah. it’s not an easy thing. and there’s no easy solution. and this is a 100k fic about you slowly assembling a friend group, while having really zero practical experience with friendship, and it’s a gentle epic with the highest stakes, oh my god, just the highest
you and an acquaintance become friends with benefits. things become unexpectedly awkward when you learn that the real benefit………..was friendship
pretty sure the universe is sending me a message and that message sounds a lot like ‘go forth and punch all the things’.
no but seriously y’all, if you’ve never played a melee build treat yourself and do it, i’m level 24 and i’ve been ohkoing super-mutants for a while now, hell it would be faster to list the enemies i can’t ohko, it’s been awesome.
@coppercaravan why would you do this to me you know my WIP list gets longer every other day.
we’ll tell our stories on these walls, aka the quasiplatonic solavellan fic that was supposed to be a quick oneshot but then i kept adding new scenes to it and now it’s gonna be like ten chapters long please send help
in the untorn veils, aka the one in which i explore the fact that cadash gets to dream talk with solas, because that’s kind of a big deal
the one in which hinata and shikamaru actually get to talk to each other because it’s so obvious they should talk to each other i mean what
the one in which vaugh shepard leaves the military after torfan and starts working at c-sec with papa vakarian
the one in which roxanne ritchi is a super hero hiding her identity from megamind because a random prompt generator gave it to me and it’s too good to pass
the one in which kaze, mozu and nyx accidentally start a book club
at some point i also want to write more of the mouse!surana AU, but i need to replay dao first and. eeeh.
tagging @becausedragonage, @cactuartamer and anyone who would like to ramble about their WIPs.
