You know these Valar I started drawing some time ago? I wanted to leave Varda as the last, but alas, I ended up drawing her as one of the first.
Alternative to Project Elvhen
Just letting everyone know that if you are like me, and can no longer in good conscious support the man behind Project Elvhen, there is in fact an alternate resource to expand the elvhen language.
Katie’s Best Guess at Elvhen. It’s organized well and does its job.
Katiebour also gave Qunlat a shot, if you are interested.
why not to use project elvhen
because the other two posts were a bit cluttered, here’s a compilation of reasons why not to support fenxshiral and not to use project elvhen in your work:
fenxshiral intentionally wrote elvhen to be ace/arophobic. the word in his project for aromanticism is equivalent to the word for psychopath. any attempts at disputing his justification for that are just met with him saying it’s his headcanon/him calling people countering him “drama”.
“ In terms of aromanticism, this is a concept that would be very hard to parse in Elvhen, because the language revolves around poetry, thought, emotion and only speaking when you mean what you say. Not being able to feel love would be a concept very foreign to the vast majority of Elves “ <- he thinks elves are too “~~poetic and romantic~~” to accept people who “are unable to feel love”, which is a really poor definition of aromanticism, as it implies they can’t feel ANY love, and must be incapable of a romantic relationship, rather than just not wanting it. It also doesn’t make sense that elves would shun people who can be close to others without feeling romantically for them, because Dirthamen and Falon’Din are a thing.
“ The sad reality, is that the vast majority of Elves, both in Elvhenan and in the Dalish, would most likely look upon aromanticism as a mental disorder. Emotion is such a strong centerpiece of the language, that being unable to feel any emotion would be viewed as just plain wrong by a vast majority of elves. “
Assumes that the Dalish wouldn’t have a renaissance like the elvhen had, assuming that heteronormativity/gender binaries/etc. are the starting point for all cultures and the Dalish must be at that point because “dragon age cultures are close-minded”. Even though, canonically, sexuality in thedas is shown to not be a huge deal, and relationships which are still commonly hated today are readily accepted/common in-universe. Kind of rings like he views nomadic peoples as primitive imo, which - considering he’s white - is a red flag.
Does not believe that thinking someone is broken because of their sexuality and trying to fix them is a form of hate. (Even though Dorian’s entire plotline is about his dad thinking he’s broken and trying to fix him and how intention doesn’t compensate for action.)
Treats Lesbians/Gay people wanting homosexual-specific terminology like a burden he was worn down by, because it’s really really important to him that elves not have words for homosexuality, apparently.
“homosexuality is accepted through every culture in thedas (except nobility who use marriage to promote specific family lines) but the dalish would hate gay people because everyone knows gays can’t have kids.” Invents reasons why the dalish wouldnt support gay marriage - which, joke’s on him, with the whole sera/inq marriage lmao.
“ With that said, in clans that valued marriage, it would be a construct used to facilitate children in addition to the bond between the two partners. Its value wouldn’t be the concept of marriage itself, so homosexual marriages would not carry the same kind of weight, and would most likely not be allowed, except in polygamous/polyamorous marriages (in clans that allowed such unions, of course).” literally when has dalish marriage ever been about kids. ever. when is this shown ever and why is he using it to justify them abolishing gay marriage.
he has bdsm fantasies about him dominating his tumblr followers (nsfw warning obvs)
tags female-on-female sex as “lesbian” on his nsfw blog, because only lesbians have sex with other women.
he also accepts nudes from teenage (18+, but still teenage) girls, even though he’s nearly 30. (nsfw warning on 1st link)
He’s even commented on how he’s more about “emotional maturity” than age. Just, wow. like, i’m a 21 year old lesbian and even i won’t have sex with teenagers because imo it’s predatory. they might be legal but they’re still very young women, and them crossin some imaginary number threshold don’t make it less wrong to be a full grown near middle-age adult male jackin off to high schoolers.
He’s got a “teacher/master” kink. Considering he’s into high school/college freshman-aged women, and has reblogged pictures of “teen lesbians” … yikes.
Thinks asexuals who at all want sex are not asexual. he clarifies that he “totally meant asexuals who feel sexual attraction arent ace” when called out. which, yknow, still aint quite right.
this isn’t even getting into the fact he’s known to ignore canon because he thinks he can write elves/elven culture better than bioware, like this is just from two searches on his blog - there could be way more.
it should be noted that he identifies as bi/pan, but that doesn’t excuse his blatant homophobia, his weird fetishism of very young girls/his followers, or his attempts at making a nomadic culture intolerant and hateful because they aren’t ‘modern enough” to have values that are not traditionally Western ideals of heteronormativity/gender/etc.
all in all he’s got some major personal issues, on top of just being kind of a creepy guy, and i’d really advise against promoting him by using his work. parsing the wiki sucks, but i’d rather do that than let this guy’s stuff within a hundred feet of anything i write.
let’s not forget casual ableism in the way he replies to followers who ask simple questions
;; so i don’t know if any of you have noticed, but i’ve been a bit absent lately, particularly over here. this season turns me into more of a grinch than i’d like, so it’s probable i won’t be back in full force until after the new year. i may also consider dropping the few threads i still have in order to start fresh--if i do, i’ll be sure to notify you, and i’m always down for plotting new things. thanks for sticking around :)

I have a lot of feelings about Antivan/Rivaini Dalish fashion, but I’ll expound on that in another post. For now, have some Saraya style inspo–more info in the captions!

@commuoverre·
For the space of several breaths Haleir is silent, a slow, exuberant smile working its way from his lips up to the corners of his eyes. When he does speak, his tone is soft and reverent, full of pride for the courageous, stunning young woman he has come to love as if she were his own daughter. “I…I do not know how Josephine managed to find Rivaini silk, but…tell me, ma'inan, does it look as lovely as it feels?”
“Saraya, ma’eanain, you are…absolutely radiant. I cannot find the words to tell you.”
There is a way he can show her, however.
She knows that the blush on her cheeks is not nearly so obvious as it feels, but her smile is proof enough of the warmth in her heart at Haleir’s words. She can see neither the dress nor his face, but neither feels especially necessary in that particular moment.
“If this has struck you speechless, I can only imagine what it will do to the nobles in Halamshiral. You are coming with me, are you not? I...I fear I would be lost without you at my side.”
On those days when the walls pressed in too closely and restless thoughts posed a danger to his judgment, it was a relief to slip off and onto four legs; traversing Skyhold in a form no one recognized or thought to question. Small paws carried him silently atop the newly-fallen snow blanketing the courtyard, nose to the wind and ears swiveling jauntily, listening with a pinpoint accuracy he lacked in his native form.
It was old, old magic, or so she’d been told, but it felt as natural as changing clothes to shift from one form to another in the privacy of her room. Ink-black feathers shifted in the wind, and no one noticed yet another raven circling the courtyard to land lightly on the edge of a roof--the blacksmith’s, if the sound from within was any accurate indicator. The change was not one she made often, in spite of the knowledge that in this form, she regained most (though not all) of the sight that had been lost to her years ago in the learning of it.

The Elves of Arlathan do not value sight.

“That is well. Both are commendable pursuits, provided one does not lose sight of purpose in searching for them. Might I ask what yours is?”
“I soothe the pain my people feel. I help them share their burdens. I carry hope, gathered in fragments, and spread it to those who desperately need it. I am a storyteller, to put it simply.”
Soul~ --dirthavhenan (aaahh how did I miss this?)
{soul sounds like} || accepting
the rustle of wind through soft silk robes and tall grasses, a rhythmic melody played on instruments long forgotten, hiccuping breaths in the aftermath of a flood of tears. the sound of a voice that is only just learning how to laugh.
{Soul}
{soul sounds like} || accepting
it is steeped in comfort–the rumble of a contented cat, the crackle of a hearth fire, the melodic hum of an old, old lullaby. but every so often the peace is interrupted by a harsh shout or the clang of steel meeting steel, and he flinches imperceptibly where he stands.
send me a ‘soul’ and my muse will describe what they think your muse’s soul ‘sounds’ like

Haleir’s face scrunches and he can’t help the laugh that wells up in his throat, clear and rich and genuine. Small hands cup her cheeks and he holds her there for a moment, pressing his lips to the bridge of her nose in return.
