Reviving the Dormant Seed

Based off a fanfic idea from Tumblr user @artistic-bepp (Post to said idea here)

9:52 Dragon. The last of the Evanuris have been defeated and the heroes of the Veilguard successfully prevented Solas from tearing down the Veil and flooding the world in unspeakable chaos, though it had to be done without their beloved leader. Bryony "Rook" Laidir, a Lords of Fortune dwarf, was pulled into the Fade at Tearstone Island and despite the best efforts of her companions was never heard from again... Until two young elves, driven by the desire to save the world from the threat of the Devouring Storm, decide to take it upon themselves to pierce the Veil and free a much needed but despised hero from their prison... Rook finds herself over a century into the future, in a Thedas she no longer recognizes but is once again on the verge of imminent disaster, playing catch up with her immortal lover, all the while coping with not only the changes throughout the world but within herself. After all, one does survive in the Fade for a hundred and ten years and not come out without a few new quirks...

This is an AU/Split branch path from my other fanfic, Nyctinasty, an Emotional Interlude. Where Rook fails to figure out the Fade to participate in the final battle against Elgar'nan. Be warned, for a time skip has occurred and shenanigans are abound. (Also, there will be several OCs in this piece, so, if that bothers you, my apologies.)

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

[ri-rawr-isnt-ok]

No cuz I fucking love this sign. It’s not an actual barrier so it’s not like some sort of challenge it simply says “fuck around and you will find out”

[irlwakko]

Ohohoho I LOVE “fuck around and find out” signs, especially the really dramatic and ominous (but true) ones

(Context for the last one: it’s a WWII era sign posted around the soldiers’ washroom mirror, warning them to never discuss military plans in places where civilians could hear them and report back to the enemy, e.g. in restaurants and pubs in the country. “Loose lips sink ships”.)

I also love these two, which I would place in the category of “You already fucked around, now you’re about to find out.”

Aerated water is fucking scary. It's water that has a fuckton of gas in it, which reduces the buoyancy to the point where you will immediately start to sink if you fall in.

Inspired by this post (x). I keep thinking about how gender is viewed differently in Qunari society and is determined by job. But what if the job itself WAS their gender? 

Bull being from gender nonconforming Qunari society would lead to witty situations like this:

Orlesian: Are you a man or a woman  Iron Bull: I’m a spy  O: No I meant biologically  IB: A Qunari  O: No I mean what’s between your legs  IB: On a good day, someone’s mouth ],) ],) ],)

The thing about Miss Piggy is that she kind of has a Roger Rabbit comedy superpower where she wins nearly any conceivable fight she's in. But unlike other characters of which that's true, like say, Bugs Bunny, who tend to win because they make the opponent play the game with their rules, Miss Piggy wins because the joke is that she can beat the shit out of literally anybody.

"Is macready or childs The Thing at the end?" theorists are idiots. The answer is John Carpenter. It's in the poster. John Carpenter's The Thing. Dumbass

day 6 / ???

[bakurapika]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

[rockshitty]

I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”
