moved!

#occasionally will drop in to get to the straggling askbox things i want to get to.#esp. as i take a bit to get the new blog up & running & because i'm running out of steam on them.#like i have the idea but to sit & make it happen at this breakneck speed is a LOT for me.#plus i want to feel like i can float away if i want to so ummmmm. yeah you may never see me here. or you might see me answer things.#maybe i'll put them on my new sideblog instead idk.#plus have to rb all of my hcs & info i want to save & what not.#just. do not perceive me here thanks!#apart from all that - thanks for all the writing & threads & good times here <3 it's been fun.#ooc.#tbd.#idk how to say goodbye esp. when it's not really goodbye so i guess catch you on the flipside?

continuing the askbox cleanup, askbox here is closed!

@thanatologie said "the stories have a bit more substance to them."

❝ how much substance, exactly? ❞ she asks, brows raised, genuinely curious as a fellow academic, but, equally it is strategy; she hopes talking will distract him from her next series of moves. ❝ say, on a scale from sylvans to solas. ❞

both were stories, but one was far more believable – logical, even, with a basic understanding of spirits & the fade – & the other tears down everything they know about the world. ( &, somehow, both want to kill her; evidently, she doesn't much agree with stories. )

it isn't until he brightens, diving in, that she drags forth her pale queen what seems to be a place too far, the bone lightly scraping against stone in a quiet death rattle. valeria bites the inside of her cheek to keep herself from smiling, & almost feels guilty.

#thanatologie #answered.#okay hear me out.#no idea how good he is at chess so this can go any which way.#but! she's trying to end the game with a lil joke. & can't resist going for it.#anyways a million years late but that's what it took to come up with something a little more inspired. so eyy -jazz hands-

old meme, still doing a little cleaning up, not accepting!

@dinnanshiral said "i'm not leaving you to die."

valeria smiles sadly. gratefully. mira speaks with conviction, & she catches a glimpse of the famed inquisitor commanding her armies from her mountain fortress, a figure with iron in her spine that refused defeat & shaped the world with her will.

she wants to hug her for the thought, for caring. if destruction weren't at their doorstep, she might entertain an alternative, but there's no time. someone must step up to the chopping block, & that someone cannot be the holiest woman in thedas. the flock needs its shephard, & she best knows the wolf pacing back & forth in his prison.

❝ someone has to goad ghilan'nain – & the world still needs you. ❞

valeria closes her eyes, then, the weight of the task before her settling on her chest. is this how varric felt, ascending those steps? whatever happens, there's no going back. ❝ take care of the team for me. ❞

#answered.#val vc: thanks but you are.#did weisshaupt & then the two dragons most recently but left it vague bc it doesn't have to be that.#but same idea. just maybe different font :')

starting first round of following on the new blog & ahhh!!! exciting!!!! but i also need everyone to know that the 'following' tab is recommending me stuff from february.

ingllvarchived

it was best stuff first, because i blessedly forgot about that choice feature. anyways, this is why small test group first. 90% there on the following!

didn't get any writing done today, though, because easter holiday meant i spent all night on the phone with my family :/ so i am Wondering what to do with these last asks.

#do i post them on tuesday & then abscond?#but ngl with the new blog mostly set up it FEELS better to be over there.#so do i take the asks & publish them from there?#or my writing sideblog?#idk!#panic!#i could forget them but there are some cute ones for skells & bishop & a few for ciri that i'd like to do.......#i am Thinking.#also! still needing a few tags for the new one. also need to sign in there for mobile - for the most part all notifs coming from there are #me on my phone. bc once i change mobile then i'm 100% done with this blog.#anyhoo. all of this is tomorrow me's problem. but i have dnd so i won't be around so it's actually tuesday me's problem.#ooc.#tbd.

starting first round of following on the new blog & ahhh!!! exciting!!!! but i also need everyone to know that the 'following' tab is recommending me stuff from february.

#so if i like something that's ancient i am SO SORRY.#( this is also why i have limited it to following maybe 10? blogs at the moment. i will do a more concrete round of following. )#( because i also have some VERY new blogs that i am -eyes- at so i promise i will follow you from there. )#but anyways felt like a good reward for getting stuff done.#STILL missing some tags jfc & also my ps decided to crap out on me before i had a dash icon so mine is the lowest effort thing i could thro #together in photopea bc i do not have the patience anymore!#anyways i hope i can close the inbox here tomorrow. mon i then have dnd & then ideally! new blog!#& then i can shut up about this! & also start liking plotting posts & open up the askbox & just.#finally finally move in!!!!#ooc.#tbd.

the ‘i’ve been falling for hours . gif’ except it’s tags

#that’s all i’ve done today & i’m still not done.#h o u r s.#i hate words now nothing is pretty.#ooc.#tbd.#still not even on dyn tags this is just basic verse & general tags.

thanks to melody, get to add to the previous:

val doesn’t believe in the maker anymore. she was raised with the circle and learned about it of course, but when she starts to rebel against the absence of her parents, it spills to the maker too. she’s known too much absence and it’s not the sign of love or someone who cares, so if he doesn’t care about her, she won’t care about him.

much later, the herald of andraste becomes a thing (when she’s in a better place), and andraste always cared in the chant, so she gets a little hopeful for a minute there, but that slowly snuffs out after all the chaos and eventually meeting the inquisitor and realising they’re just a hero who was traumatised. and, of course, everything with the gods, well, she’s almost glad she doesn’t put much stock into it. and, in some ways, thinks it might be a blessing the maker isn’t real bc that could be equally yikes.

ingllvarchived

i want to point out that, in a way, even though she refuses to care about the maker & will say she doesn't believe in him, in a way she does. because it's meant to be a spiteful act, which doesn't work if there really IS no god.

#she's still not nearly as devastated as some people are / can be. but it does leave a void or emptiness to contend with still.#even though she doesn't think it does. like so many things it only really sinks in after the gods are gone.#post vg is like a post mortem.#anyways hunted this down because sometimes i have her saying phrases like 'thank the maker' or whatever. which is just because it's common #parlance. kind of like how you can say 'oh my god' & not be religious at all.#so sometimes it slips in. but it doesn't negate any of the above.#okay back to struggling with tags now.

the final boss of making a blog: the tags

#i don't know how to settle on quotes i have too many of them for different Facets & Moods.#& i don't want to harp too much on the same thing but also want continuity.#& sometimes i get the certainty but then it means the others don't feel good or apt enough.#curse you tags!!!!!!!

i think im getting better! :) [another event occurs]

yes the solas breaking out of prison & no longer being in her head wasn't a mutual thing, but that doesn't stop my goodbye from epic from giving me inspiration for this short lived era

ingllvarchived

one more thing (i always do this before bed, see the scarcity fomo it makes my brain rabid) but!! i think solas also appears in her fade jail, thank you

#the regret that she DID lower her guard. even though she should’ve known better.#& it helps cement the never again. which bites her in the ass later.#anyways yes she tries to take a swing at him in fade jail & it goes as well as you’d expect.#i do think this comes more toward the upper levels. maybe even leads right into varric.#bc it’s not when she’s totally despondent but when anger has started to seep back in.#anyways!#good night!

"You don't know me. I'm not the same person anymore."

"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."

#oh hi ouch.#❪ 💀 ❫　⸻　just a lost little girl who didn't matter & didn't think she ever would / about.#i promise i will set up a queue again on the new blog. for now it's reblog anything i want whenever i want hours.

yes the solas breaking out of prison & no longer being in her head wasn't a mutual thing, but that doesn't stop my goodbye from epic from giving me inspiration for this short lived era

#not all of it but the Outline is so there.#' you were reckless / sentimental at best ' & he would bring up the dead friends if it would make a point.#' i warned you & you failed the test '#' when all is over you'll keep yours & i'll keep mine '#' selfish & prideful & vain ' (hehe)#' how like you - everytime someone dies i'm left to deal with the strain '#' this way you're out of my head now ' :)#& of course the ' you're ALONE. '#it all comes down to ' i saw you as a friend ' :( not for long but for part of act ii she was starting to get there.#it's just. do you see what i mean?#i have to sleep badly but it's enough to give me some inspiration.#dyn: solas.#hoboblaidd #ooc.#insp.

also, mention that she doesn't like to use fire bc trauma & also she's not good at controlling it, but i think one of the few times she does get to go all out with it is the fire & ice when handling the ice dragon by itself first.

#wide open space? no one there?#after a certain point she has the team hang back & just unleashes almost literal hell.#blisters & burns herself a lil in the process.#but it's one of the moments where she thinks her life might make sense! like OH the banners prepared me for THIS moment exactly!!#& then another dragon swoops in & the fight goes to shit :')#but for a moment she's on top of the world & things make sense & she's glowing from within w/ all the power she calls down.#ws.#character study.#ish?

just thinking about how, yes, obviously she'd go to the ends of the earth for those she loves, but also & especially neve. something something the power of devotion but also guilt

#doesn't matter how long it's been or what it is. if neve shows up she's on board.#i'm just here for two women getting worse but being sexy while doing it.#but in her eyes. she will never work off the minrathous debt. & standing by her forever no matter what is the least she can do.#especially since neve is head of the threads BECAUSE of her choices. :')#women supporting women.#character study.

the scarcity/fomo is really making my brain just make decisions & help clear out the askbox, & i am truly Astounded

#the fact that i also do not perceive time does not help.#with me being timely. funnily enough.#anyways further proof that i do mean that i am MOLASSES.#but yeah idk how to channel this 'it'll be gone so answer it now even if it's not perfect' energy in the new blog yet.#it's so simple yet not easy to create for myself.#ooc.#tbd.#half the time it's bc im stressed externally & the other time it's because i stress myself out with expectations.#idk what this is but i just. am enjoying getting to things finally & living freely & less worried about how it will be received since it #won't matter & i won't be here to see how it's received. & i have no idea how to do that in a permanent place.#but i am enjoying it while it lasts!
