Hi everyone, I’ve decided I’m going to step away from this blog xx

You can find me instead at @galaxywhale

All of the dragon age/video games/writing/art/oc/dnd stuff that was here will be found there now (when I have the energy to engage with it anyway). I wanted a “reset” and my choices were remaking this sideblog or condensing everything to my main and I’ve decided I’m going to take that option :)

It may be temporary, it may not, but for now I have no intention of starting to be active here again ♥️

(also noting that I recently remade my main blog as well so if you were somebody who knew me there previously, it’s potentially a different blog now)

Rejoice dear fans! The time is here, you can now place your orders for the Dragon Age: Terminus Zine!

Sharing is much appreciated!

[dragonageterminuszine]

Dragon Age: Terminus Zine Interest Checks are Now Open!

DA: Terminus will be a project focused on the theme of endings within the franchise. As a new chapter looms, we will be delving into endings, good and bad, and exploring the euphoria, hope, pain and loss that comes with them.

We will be welcoming a range of artists and writers to help create this project for charity, but first, an interest check to see what YOU want from it all.

Please take a look at the survey, and share this post if you can!

For more information, check out our carrd, here.

@fullyclothedmolerat thank u I’m glad he’ll be well taken care of

I do hope there’ll be more carverposting in the future but if there it, it’ll likely be over there instead of here :)

au where the one “person” who stumbles out of the fade alive at the conclave is really just an envy demon doing their best. this makes no sense but consider: it would be really funny

[stonesense]

varric: what IS that accent? it’s not fereldan that’s for sure. is it free marches? don’t tell me it’s free marches. markham? ostwick? am i hot or cold?

envy demon who has figured out maybe two sentences so far: i don’t remember

varric: damn you’re good! sticking to your line, i see how it is. i’ll figure it out

envy demon internally: i have succeeded in my goal. i will continue my NEFARIOUS SCHEME by sealing the breach and keeping all these mortals safe and sound so that their world is MINE ALONE to explore. i am getting a GOOD GRADE in being a demon, something that is NORMAL to want and POSSIBLE to achieve—ouch. what was that

varric: seeker your uh alleged mass murderer was too busy beaming at a compliment and looking around wide-eyed at scenery. and tripped over a log.

cassandra: [head in hands] i know. i cant protect them

envy demon internally: i have FOOLED THEM ALL. i really like BIRDSONG

YOU THERE! YES YOU! FIC READER!

I just read a fic from 2013 and left a comment on the end. The author responded within 3 hours.

Please leave comments on fics. It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say I literally made a joke about a space worm. Please comment on fics it'll make the authors day even if its from 9 years ago.

[the-yearning-astronaut]

A few weeks ago I read and commented on a fic that had been posted to AO3 in 2013 but had actually been written in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The fandom itself is for a show from the mid 90s and afaik there is no active presence on Tumblr at all.

Both authors responded to my comment by the next day, beyond thrilled to have received it. Both expressed joy in knowing the fandom still lived on in some form and that my comment reminded them of how much fun they had writing the fic together over two decades ago.

Please please please comment on fics -- especially older ones -- even if it's just to leave a heart emoji or a key smash. Doing so really does mean a hell of a lot to the authors.

[cellarspider]

All of this. Fanfic and fan art are not like advertizer-focused social media, where posts are eaten up by the void within hours or minutes, and novelty is not only encouraged, but expected. Not even like Tumblr, where old posts that circulate are usually those that have remained popular. Fanfic is a smaller space. Outside of specific foci of popular interest, authors aren’t getting bombarded with messages. Your comment can be seen for what it is--the thoughts of a real, live person who took the time to look at something they created.

And that can really brighten somebody’s day.

[copperbadge]

I still get comments on Stealing Harry (the bulk of which was written prior to 2005 and is dated as such in AO3) or even my earlier Discworld fic, and it’ll be absolutely delightful and very flattering comments that will start or end with something like “I know this fic is super old and I don’t know what you’re doing now....” 

And I’m like *Tony Hawk Voice* “Thank you! I am here. Doing this.” 

Absolutely do leave comments on old fics, authors love it! 

But also if you love a fic, like, go ahead and click that author name because the dumbass who wrote that fic you like in 2003 is possibly writing gay romance novels you will enjoy in 2023.

I’m sorry I can’t be a better friend and care about mutuals ocs and posts and everything the way I wish I could anymore
