the first time i ever heard about you, i wanted you so badly. to find you, to speak with you, to be like you — they said your name with so much love. i was desperate for that. the love, the adventure, the mystery, the fun. but it wasn't fun. and now i wish to god that i had never heard your name at all.
independent, private, and selective ROOK of the DRAGON AGE series written by robyn. crossover & multi-muse friendly. 21+ ONLY.
carrd. threads. memes. tags.
i work night shift and get busy with the seasons (rural life for ya), low/mid-activity with odd hours thus <3
don't be a dick, common courtesy applies
if you knowingly use ai it's a hardblock, if you see me unknowingly sharing an ai work please do tell me
content warnings for the usual dragon age things i'd say, with the addition of genuine and closely examined religious beliefs and the wavering of faith thereof. this is a central pillar of ameridan's character and will feature heavily. if religion is a major trigger for you this might be a blog you want to pass on.
i will tag in the style of trigger // and nsft // unless told that no longer works
i am 30 (they/them) and would prefer not to write with those under 21, sorry
i see everyone who has been a victim of blood magic wanting nothing to do with blood play ever (honorable mention to ameridan who has it as a hard no but is just cautious like that) but i think. hmm. khima leans into it a little? especially if their partner isn’t a mage and the danger is far lessened?
i've ruminated on this a bit more last night (sorry to via who put up with me at 2am lol) and i think they would also, very cautiously, be willing to experiment with blood magic itself as long as they had a third party safeguard. blood play is something they feel they can handle on their own (more or less), and magic to small extents, but blood magic itself they know they would be deliberately putting themselves in a position where they cannot trust themselves to tap out, or be capable of tapping out, due to the nature of blood magic. and so they'd want, specifically, a mage who they trust and who is stronger than their scene partner to be nearby to supervise that for them
now i do think any vampire tasting khima’s blood would be in for a, shall we say, interesting experience and not just because khima is dry jumping their leg about it
sometimes i like to think what kinds of demons would be most likely to visit each of my characters and i think khima’s would be some form of anger or shame
i was thinking earlier abt how funny it is that khima forms a parasocial relationship with the anonymous diary-writer “slow arrow” while also forming a deep and genuine relationship with felassan and then realized that’s not even khima’s FIRST parasocial relationship — the first was solas, as narrated to them by varric

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.
shitposting about varric the unwilling voyeur aside, khima DOES keep the lyrium dagger on their person or within their immediate reach at almost all times. part of that is subconscious and it’s also an answer to the very practical issue of pure lyrium is an extremely toxic material and apparently The Khima is one of the few places it can BE kept without driving anyone insane or burning through five floors and dropping into the basement or something else crazy
me holding khima by the face: if you are going to feminize yourself you are going to do it like a classy lady, put that victoria’s secret push up bra DOWN
khima needs to be babysat in the red light districts not bc they’re easy to take advantage of (they are) or because they’re inexperienced (… they are) or because they’re uncomfortable (only a little) but because they are TOO interested in the proceedings
@craftsjoy asked about khima's relationship with music:
khima ingellvar is technically an exceptional singer insofar as they have the ability to perfectly mimic any sound that they hear, but they don't bring much originality to the act. the enjoyment people get from listening to them sing is usually tempered by the blatant realization that someone else's voice is coming out of their mouth. but khima still enjoys doing it, particularly as a child singing liturgical hymns in the chantry choirs. when they're alone, singing to themself or perhaps to a spirit, it might even be their own natural voice they use. who can say!
as far as instrumental music goes, they have a lot more difficulty with it. their mimicry is limited to sound itself. they can't watch someone play an instrument and then immediately physically play it perfectly, because they don't have the physical conditioning to do so. over their years in nevarra they only ever learned to play one instrument: the recently-invented accordion. they're actually pretty proud of it.
