✨ Tell Me Tuesdays✨

Hello, hello, my DArlings! I've been a little under the weather and haven't been able to participate in the recent DA events here (I'm so mad I didn't plan my DA Met Gala fits in time).

But I love seeing/reading about all of your Rooks/OCs and how they go beyond DATV's confines (smooch all of your creative brains. Who needs AI when we have you?) so for this week's Tell Me Tuesday we're going a little angsty:

Tell me about your Rook/OC's endgame injuries. Specifically, did your Rook/OC suffer any lasting injuries from the Veilguard endgame? If so, who caused it? How has it affected their lives and/or their loved ones?

Evil Rook AU : Part 3.

[Part 1] [Part 2] TW: Character Death

________________________________

Harding was the first to arrive, and that meant she was alone.

In the original scenario, Lace dies on Tearstone Island, and that tragedy had to repeat itself in this AU... In every universe, Abel looses a friend because of his choices. It’s essential to his story, even if, this time, it isn’t truly his fault. He will blame himself all the same, should he ever be freed from this nightmare. Lace was a friend.

A Question for Your Rook(s)

Because I was thinking about this in the shower and wanted to know all of your responses.

If your Rook goes into the endgame wearing a different armor than what they started in, how did they obtain it?

Are they pieces they crafted together? Gifts from their allies or companions? Is there anything specific on the armor that has significant or sentimental value to them or others?

(aka gush to me about your Rooks/DAV OC's please. I'd love to hear/read about them)

.✦ ݁˖ some emmrook fun | inspired by this prompt

The man stood amidst the flowers. Well, a man who was once a man.

His bony hand rest against the smooth marbled headstone shrouded by weeping widowers. How fitting, he believed. They'd always been her favorite.

The thought made him smile. Internally, of course, since a skull had no muscles, no cheeks, no lips.

But she knew he tried. She always knew. She could tell by the way his veilfire flickered like a cat's tail when he was jealous of the attention she gave to the flowers over him; of the soft words of praise she gave to the seedlings in their greenhouse and the spirits that came to join them on their evening strolls.

Perhaps even now, Emmrich wondered, Rook knew he was envious of these weeping widowers. Standing as tall and as vibrant as they were, he knew their roots were strong as well.

Strong enough to wind their tendrils across her skin and caress her head with a crown of roots. To stand as sentinels, warding against curious eyes.

Yes. Emmrich Volkarin, Lich Lord of Nevarra's Grand Necropolis, renowned researcher for the Mourn Watch and revered member of the once-glorious Veilguard, envied these beautiful, immobile organisms for the simplest of reasons: living as they were, and as undead as he was, only the widowers were given the honor of lying beside his beloved. To touch her even in death.

Emmrich lifted his gaze to the vast depths of the Necropolis' canyons. Even they paled in comparison to the depths of his love for her.

"My darling..." he whispered, as if unworthy to say her name. As if the ache in his soul would return if he spoke loud enough into the Fade. "Meine Liebe."

He bent to her headstone and pressed a kiss to her name. Indeed, what a privilege it was to have lost someone truly worth mourning.

this one venatori is so real for that tbh

Neve: So you and Illario then? You really are full of surprises, Rook.

Bellara: But it's so intriguing! Falling in love with the tall, dark, and mysterious antagonist?!

Neve: Hardly mysterious and barely taller than myself. Honestly, Rook, what do you see in him?

Bellara: OH! Yes! If you had to describe him in a single word, what word would you use?

Rook: Idiot.

Bellara: Oh...okay...Two words!

Rook: My idiot.

[madamemortem]

Lucanis: So your organization is called the Mourn Watch.

Emmrich: Yes.

Lucanis: But you don't necessarily let the dead rest.

Emmrich: It's a voluntary process.

Lucanis: So if they don't rest and you put them back into their skeletons, there really is no reason to mourn.

Emmrich: Their continued service to the Necropolis does not equate to-

Lucanis: You might as well change it to the Mole Watch since all you really do is stay underground and monitor tunnels.

Rook: Someone has to keep an eye out for the crypt babies.

Emmrich: Rook, please.

late night paint fight with his lady knight!

Illario calls Lucanis on a magical communication device...

I didn't get the exact moment Illario got on. Also, I had to bump up his audio. I hope this is enough!

Lucanis Dellamorte 🎱 redrew this piece 4 times because I got art block bingo (and a massive backlog hehe IT it's fun (◕‿◕)

This is Good Luck Davrin. Repost for Good Luck 🍀

AGGRESSIVE REMINDER:

If you post your genAI slop in a character's main tag, it's an insta-block from me. Especially if you double down and defend it when people try to educate you about why that's unwelcome in fandom spaces.

Insta-block. Do not interact with me or my work. You aren't playing Blorbos at that point. You're stealing Blorbos. You're no better than Elon Musk paying someone to level his video game character for clout. It's just as embarrassing for you, tbh.

And it proves to me that you are not a trustworthy member of this community.

If you are that desperate for art of your ship, there are tons of options. Draw them yourself. Learn the skill, develop it. Or, if like me, visual art is not your jam, PAY ARTISTS to draw your ship.

This community has so many AMAZING ARTISTS. Not only are they amazing creatives, they are also amazing, welcoming people who are also obsessed and excited about the Character™. Get to know them! Follow them and foam at the mouth about their art. Reblog and comment and SUPPORT ARTISTS in your fandom!

Don't use AI. It turns your brain to sludge. It is based on rampant theft of millions of creative works and art. It has detrimental effects on the environment. And it is the tool of rising fascism.

This blog does not fuck with AI or its supporters.

WIP Whenever/Reflection Ruesday

I'm in the middle of cleaning/reorganizing my Obsidian vault as a way to avoid what I'm really supposed to be doing and I found this little snippet.

Thank you for the tags @sorcerousadventurer and @notyourmamasdeerbat!

The months following the fall of Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain were rife with recovery efforts all over Thedas. With Inquisitor Lavellan no longer assisting in the South, members of the Veilguard and the disbanded Inquisition traveled far and wide to assist old friends and new comrades. It had been a long time since the Lighthouse had been this quiet. WANT. FIRE! WANT. TO BURN! Well, somewhat quiet. The scent of dark roasted coffee and smoke drifted into the eluvian room accompanied by familiar footsteps. "No. You'll ruin it." Rook looked away from her gauntlet straps and glanced over her shoulder, a smile dancing on her lips. "I'm beginning to think Spite enjoys coffee more than you do." Lucanis' lips formed a tight line. "No. He enjoys the roasting part. Too much." BURN! "Later," she told the demon with a pat to Lucanis' cheek. "Ready to go?" He captured her hand in his with a warm smile and turned toward the eluvian's glow. "With you? Always."
