to be a terribly REAL THING in a terribly FALSE WORLD….
— # 𝐁𝐋𝐂𝐊𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐊. an iconless and selective roleplay blog for original character and mage LEÓN FARGO VÁSQUEZ, with his main verse taking place during DRAGON AGE INQUISITION as an optional companion. other verses include original high fantasy-inspired lore, ffxiv, and supernatural / vampire. written and portrayed by JAY ( he / him, 28+, CST )
𝐀 𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐘 : a loss of identity, using monstrosity as armor, self-fulfilling prophecies, the mind as a prison, growing sick on the ichor of revenge, a refusal to let go, a soul reborn in ice as it is in fire, the separation of ones self for survival, hiding behind masks, and the perils of imbalance
CONTENT WARNING !!! leon's story contains themes of childhood grooming , abuse , traumatic loss of limb , self harm , and mild amounts of blood and gore

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 . this includes the basics like not being racist , sexist , homophobic , transphobic , etc . and also just a general rule of thumb with respect to interacting with me and anyone else .
𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘 & 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 . i am a selective and mutuals-only blog , so if i follow you that means i want to interact ! i am however INCREDIBLY shy , especially if you're coming from a large fandom , so if i don't at first seem interested , it's probably because i'm overthinking it .
𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒 . memes are ALWAYS welcome to be replied to and will always be answered via a new thread . but if you’re primarily a mobile user and don’t have the ability to trim a thread , it’s no problem ! i’ve got you , bestie
𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 . i love shipping more than my whole ass and i'm tired of pretending i don't , and i’m more than happy to explore a pairing if we’ve interacted ic or ooc . i will however stress that it is based on CHEMISTRY only , especially with leon being roughly the equivalent of demiromantic / demisexual .
𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘 . if i ship with a canon character , i will only ship romantically with that person's interpretation of them . as of right now , leon is locked into a romance with felassan ( @felledarrow ) , y'shtola ( @fatesown ) , and elric of melnibóne ( @melniibone ) . platonic interactions will still be open to others !
𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄 . my ability to grasp in depth established lore is at times , subpar . that means for fandoms like dragon age , i can only ask you to be patient with me as i re-introduce myself to the space and learn more about the intricate world . in the meantime , if i get something wrong PLEASE let me know privately ! i'd MUCH rather have a deeper grasp on the setting i'm writing in than anything else .
so long as you’re kind about it of course , i will hold your face so very lovingly between my hands ! ❤️
𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 . i'm iconless and use small font with bold and italicized words sprinkled in for aesthetic appeal . i try to check rules before i respond so i don’t give anyone an unwanted headache . on the other hand i don't usually care what formatting my partner uses in a reply .
𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 . i have no triggers or things i need tagged , but here's a list of my most common trigger / content warning tags to blacklist if you so desire !

grooming cw
self harm cw
𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄 . found here ( x ) . i STRONGLY encourage anyone to read through it if they're struggling with how to establish interaction
𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐒 . any art or graphics i post of leon are all created / drawn by me ❤
leon fucking hates his mask. if he felt like he could, he would drop it into the nearest volcano. he wants people to see him, wants them to have a face to match the name because he’s quite proud of who he is, and the old leon would have Never hid behind anything because of that.
but there’s too much safety behind the mask and even ten years later, he clings to it as the only variable he can control. it guarantees a separation that will keep him from getting sucked back into reality again.
in a modern setting, leon is one of those guys who wears those slutty gym shorts with built in liners that show when they sit down and their shorts material rides up.
THEM : an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
LEON : it does not, that is the text book definition of a trade. now i have my own eyeball AND some other guy’s eyeball — that’s a net zero gain. but i will say it would be kind of fun to trade back and forth like currency until i have a very old one that dates back to the first blight!! OH do you think mine would fetch a good price in some black market?? i do have perfect vision, well i assume —
walks back into the room like 5 seconds after saying my piece : and another thing, sexual assault/rape survivors in fiction are almost always categorized under mary sue territory by a lot of people. they get seen as eternal victims, with nothing meaningful left to contribute. as if their story is simply supposed to stop Right There. as if that event takes away their status as a complex character.
and if that doesn’t reflect how people see us irl, then I don’t know what does.
i think MORE characters should be rape survivors. i think more characters should be csa survivors. i think more characters should be dv survivors. i think strong and noble and attractive and charming and brilliant characters with indomitable spirits should be survivors. i think the most powerful characters in the world should be survivors. i think characters who are cultural icons should be survivors. i think victims and survivors should see ourselves in the most admirable and beloved characters around! i think we should be protagonists!!!
#‘it’s so unnecessary’ . okay . god yea this one drives me CRAZY. people will yap all day long about how it's "unnecessary" to make a character a survivor like do you think it was necessary for any of us to be abused or raped irl? was it narratively essential? did it teach the audience an important lesson? why do we, who have to justify our experiences and existences and reactions all the time in real life, also have to justify why we should exist in fiction? people act so repulsed by the thought of us. i've really fully and truly had enough of that. there is nothing so uniquely disgusting or repulsive or unspeakable about our victimhood or our survival that justifies this obsession with keeping the reality of our existence hidden
as leon has no fingernails for his future children to paint, he is willing to let them paint his toes. however, after having to deal with how much he shakes his legs and feet after only a moment of sitting down, i’m not confident they will want to.
i'm incredibly normal about leon reaching up to let a partner's hair down during sex specifically, because it somehow makes them even more vulnerable than taking off their clothes.
