Writings

My mind is full of stories. Read them or don't.

[thelionscrimsonclaws]

Lestat, I've been reading your books ever since I was a young girl. You are, dare I say it, my first love. Now I've heard the philosophy that that you immortals are unchanging, but I disagree with this. We are both very different people now than we were fifteen years ago. What I wouldn't give for a few brief moments with you here in these hot, New York nights. Please, tell me where you go and what you do. Come fly with me and be my love and we will all those pleasure prove.

That’s quite the love letter…but are you sure that I’ve changed?

Would it truly be romantic if I showed up on your doorstep or your worst nightmare?

[lovemllemadeline]

Not in the same sense that we mortals change You are you and that is forever, but I’m sure you have adapted to fit the times, yes? It’s only been over two hundred years.

To be truthful, I would be shy. I talk a big game but in person I would be tongue-tied, at least for a little bit. Also it would be slightly embarrassing to invite you in to my dingy little apartment. I’m not a rich woman.

But I don’t think I would have anything to fear from you. You love the innocent mortal, you’ve said so yourself in your books. I don’t think you’d want to harm someone who feels nothing but love for you. It’s our addiction, love.

Greetings Armand. I am a great admirer of yours, albeit mortal. I absolutely love your book. How do you find yourself in this age? Are you still in New York with darling Benji and Sybelle and Antoine? I'd love to see Trinity gate.

“Merci, yes I am still in New York with Benji and Sybelle. We’ve been well since Marius left us. We are on Night Island most nights when Benji isn’t on the air. Sybelle has finally picked new music. I’ve done well in this new age. I, however, can’t keep up with technology. You’re always welcome.”

[lovemllemadeline]

I would love to visit. As long as I can be assured of my safety of course. What has Sybelle been playing? Classical or something more modern? Lestat mentioned his ambivalence towards his iphone and computer. Perhaps if you have any questions about it, I can answer them for you?  

[your-green-eyed-monster-deactiv]

Hello M. de Pointe de Lac. My name is Madeline and I really enjoy your book and your adventures. Might I ask, what do you think of this age? What with the technological advances making the world so small.

I think there are marvelous inventions. The movies, computers, cars, among some of my favorite things. I think that the advancements are wonderful in science, technology and medicine. I do not think the world is getting smaller. I think that mortals are now more aware of the world around them from these advances. I do not think the world is really any more dangerous than it was in the 18th century. You just hear about it faster and it is not as isolated due to the news that is on tv 24/7.

[lovemllemadeline]

Forgive me for all the questions. I don’t want this to become “Interview with the Vampire part deux”. I’ve been following the stories of you and your friends for many years. They make me incredibly happy. It is too bad that you are no longer in New York, I would take you and your love out for the night for some fun. Trinity Gate must be amazing, I only wish I could live in a place like that. 

[lovemllemadeline]

Question/survey for you guys

So I’m thinking of building an OC blog for a Vampire Chronicles RP (I have been reading the books and I’m BACK IN TO IT YAY!!) However, I’m worried that no one will want to RP with me. I dunno I guess I’m just kind of nervous about it. What do you guys think?

[thespiritofcole-deactivated2017]

Hello sweet Cole. My name is Madeline. Tell me, have you ever thought of writing poetry?

Poetry. Like how Varric writes, but not. A song without a tune, but it’s still strong. Standing alone without melody and harmony, but helping. 

No. Maybe I should. Maybe @authorvarrictethras could help.

[lovemllemadeline]

You have the voice of a poet, dear Cole. It’s immensely charming. Do you like the arts very much? Some form of art in particular that you love? 

[fenedhiss-sculpts]

Solas v2.0. This is the one I sculpted in about 2 weeks (which, for me, is insanely fast.) I promise, there will be no more spam of this sculpt after this, I just thought a more linear progression in a single post might be interesting for some people. I haven’t written up a proper post for this yet on my website (I am not likely to today, because sweet Maker do I have a headache right now) but I will in the coming week. Watch that space. FENEDHISS

Reblogging for added commentary.

[teenyturtle]

Same as @veeahknee, tbh Also, CONGRATU-FREAKINGLATIONS FOR GETTING NOTICED BY BIOWARE, FEN!! OMGGGGGGGGG

[lovemllemadeline]

@varvhenesansolasan have you seen this? It's so lovely!

[shromo-deactivated20181202]

If Connor is alive / not possessed in your World State, he apparently briefly appears in the alternate Redcliffe timeline and sets himself on fire instead of becoming possessed by one of the umpteen demons floating around the place. 

Because I went into room and suddenly someone just burst into flame, yelled “No!” and then my Inquisitor yelled for him. 

[shromo-deactivated20181202]

I used the flycam. 

[lovemllemadeline]

I DID ALL THAT FUCKING WORK FOR NO REASON!

[vaulthunted]

the inquisition dad wars *wwe music starts to play*

[zevran-theblackshadow]

OMG this is the most precious thing

[lovemllemadeline]

Cole has 2 daddies

[varvhenesansolasan]

So you speak Elvhen, yes? You know, I've always wondered how to talk dirty in the language. I'm sure it would sound absolutely exquisite, given the general beauty of the dialect. Perhaps you can demonstrate for me?

I am afraid that such demonstrations would be available to you only if we were involved in a relationship. I am sure you can find someone else to whisper sweet nothings in your ear, perhaps a performer instead of a scholar?

[lovemllemadeline]

*advanced eyebrow waggle*

[lovemllemadeline]

Cento baci per te, cara mia. So you are a musician? Ah, sì, now your question makes sense. You know Antivan from your music? Well, that is certainly a feat! Such a shame I have never been able to hear one of these arias. I do not have a favorite composer, per say, as Thedas does not have the same music publication you do, but there is certain music I enjoy. I like things with strings and voices, preferably sweet-sounding, if one can have it. You?

I like whatever sounds good carino mio. As of now I’m singing this piece! (No, it’s not me singing.) It’s terribly romantic but also flows so beautifully. It gives me joy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3gv1FiOyLM

[antivasfinest-blog]

Signore Zevran, ciao! Isn't it lovely to hear one's own language? I'm Madeline, actress, singer, romantic. I am curious, do you play any musical instruments? You seem like a man who appreciates a good song.

Signora, ciao! Indeed, it is lovely to hear one’s own language, and even more so when it comes from a lovely person.

I would not claim to be a master of any instrument, but I do know quite a bit of Antivan guitar. I learned it during my time with the Crows. Musicians make many people swoon, you see, and in my profession, that can come in handy. I have not played in awhile, however, so I’m probably dreadfully rusty.

[lovemllemadeline]

Meraviglioso, gioia bella. Given the chance, would you perhaps have become a bard in Orlais?

[antivasfinest-blog]

Sei incantevole. I have thought of it, but I don’t know if I would be able to stand the Game that long. It’s all good fun in moderation, but after awhile, it can become rather tedious and improvident.

But I would make a good bard, no? No one could resist confessing their secrets to this perfect face. Honestly, it wouldn’t even be fair.

[lovemllemadeline]

Ah ah!  Il mio cor mi palpitò! Posso svenire dalla gioia! My dear I think you would have put Leliana out of a job! 

Have you ever been to the winter palace? Either for pleasure or…work?

[antivasfinest-blog]

Sei dolcissima! Ah, but don’t let Leliana hear you say that, or she’ll be glaring both metaphorical and literal daggers at me the next time I see her. Upsetting an infamous spymaster is not on my list of priorities.

I have been at the Winter Palace before, indeed. It is a place of deception, twisted politics, and beauty, which is the perfect habitat for an assassin such as myself. I’ve never gone simply for the pleasure of it, but that doesn’t mean I’ve never had pleasure while I worked. 

And what of you? What do you do in your life? Something wonderful, I’m sure. After all, it must suit a wonderful woman. 

[lovemllemadeline]

Baci baci! Piu baci! What I do for money is not the same as what I do. I sing you see, sono cantante. Hence my question! La musica e mia vita! Consequently, hence the Antivan. Ho cantato molti molti arie. Do you have a favorite? Song or composer?

[thetaiwanesedartjob]

I'm sorry I just need to get this off my chest. Qunari,but they push pamphlets and go door to door around Thedas. Thank you for your time.

“Pardon me, but do you have a minute to talk about the Qun?”“What do you think about the state of Thedas right now? Does all the social unrest and literal class warfare seem… unnecessary to you? Do you ever feel confused about your place in the world? Do you ever feel overwhelmed by societal and familial obligations? Do you wish there was a system in place to answer all these big questions for you?”

Qunari Mormons? I can see it.

But the best part would be seeing these 8-foot pillars of muscle and horns stuffed into the collared shirt, dress pants, and bicycle helmet uniform of the door-to-door Mormons.

[lovemllemadeline]

Hello, my name is elder Sten! And I would like to share with you the most amazing book!

[viscount-varric-tethras]

Varric my darling, what inspired you to give Solas Fade puns in your latest opus? (Not that I don't love them, of course)

@varvhenesansolasan

Well, serah, I look at it like this: The truth is often cleverly disguised in humor. I think your people like to say “a bit of sugar helps the medicine go down.”

In part, I did it to add flavor and humor to my story. I prefer to make my characters more like caricatures - exaggerated to be memorable. And in part, I did it to get past the audience’s filters. If I made his character give long lectures on the Fade, most (not all, but most) readers would probably skip right past it.But if I put the same truth in the form of a pun? Ha, they’ll eat it up like candy.

[lovemllemadeline]

So to continue in the same vein, which of your friends has been the most fun to write? 

[colefromthespire-deactivated201]

My sweet and gentle Cole! I've missed you! I'm sure @varvhenesansolasan and @teenyturtle have missed you as well.

And you, music maker. I enjoy your songs.

:D

[lovemllemadeline]

I have been singing often, must keep in practice you know. I have been singing this wonderful piece. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq4iEhRpAcY

Speaking of dreams, have you dreamed in this world at all Cole? How is it different from being physically IN the Fade? 

[colefromthespire-deactivated201]

You should practice. It’s good to learn more about knowing.

I like your new song. It’s sad, but in a good way.

I don’t remember dreams here. Maybe before, when I thought I was Cole I dreamed the dreams he would have had. But not now. I don’t need dreams. It’s different to dream in the Fade, more real in more haze. It’s hard to explain. You have to practice to dream well there, or the dreams will take you. I do not like it much there.

[lovemllemadeline]

It's a very odd thing, dreaming, even for me. Nightmares are the worst. Some that you swear are real and make your heart pound.

When I was a child I had a stuffed rabbit who I believed protected me from such nightmares. I called it Guard Bunny. You remind me of him a little.

[altusdorianofhousepavus-blog]

My dear Lord Dorian! My name is Madeline and I'm a friend (flitters around his head while annoying him) of Solas. I'm curious, do you care much for music? Do you play any instruments?

Madeline! Our esteemed elven companion is incredibly easy to annoy, yes? 

The Imperium is full of dramatic sounding symphonies and orchestras mostly comprised of assassins. I do enjoy music, though it seems to only precede terrible things happening. 

[lovemllemadeline]

Well all assassination has to be accompanied by dramatic music, yes? You've never played anything yourself? Or sang perhaps? You have a lovely voice.

[colefromthespire-deactivated201]

My sweet and gentle Cole! I've missed you! I'm sure @varvhenesansolasan and @teenyturtle have missed you as well.

And you, music maker. I enjoy your songs.
