Were you still looking for boys for Dorian to kiss? Any boys in particular?

i sincerely hope the tone of my answer comes off lighthearted because that is what i'm aiming for. . .

i am always looking for boys dorian can kiss!! i'm a little unabashed in my love for ships and i'm always so on board if someone wants to ship but i'd like to work up to it, be it friends first or [ doing as doribull does ] be enemies / antagonistic to lovers.

discussing muses is imperative to developing ships and threads can be started with the intention to have dorian and whoever else get together at some point. threads can also jump around timeline wise, but having a baseline 'getting together' chat or thread would be neat.

as for any boys in particular. . . anyone is on the table, lmao!inquisitors, bull, general world ocs... as long as the story works and the muses are compatible, i'm game. :)

short answer: yes, and anyone.

[magusri]

@haludh : she hands him a frog and walks away. (: surprise!

he's mid-conversation, a thought exercise with one of the mages in the garden. a pretty thing, in dorian's opinion, with some rather interesting tastes and fascinating opinions. the fiery hair of their inquisitor catches his attention, and so he politely turns to her silently approaching figure.

curiosity in the arch of a brow, though it is only hands that are forthcoming. he's not in the habit of just taking things when offered without some suspicion-- at least not in current settings. to his better judgment, he readily receives what she offers.

how silly of him to think that lanaya, their beloved inquisitor and his friend, would gift him something so. . . childish. to pull such a prank.

it's slimy. that's the first thing he feels.

then dorian looks down.

wide, tiny eyes look back at him.

a shocked, surprised, half-aborted shout from himself and a croak from the frog before he drops it suddenly. watching tensely as it hops away. he takes a deep breath and puts a smile on his face. ( it'd be rather cute if not for the surprise. )

"excuse me." a polite dismissal of the previous conversation with blue eyes. estel, he reminds himself, following after lanaya, a few choice words and an interesting bit of payback on his mind.

[magusri]

say hypothetically someone were to draw headshots of the rooks and inquisitors that come across their dash... would the owners of those rooks and inkys want to see them? hypothetically...

"he's a bleeding liar, ser," cor curtails dorian's answer, "i saw the tevinter--"

"you may leave."

cor's perfervid counterargument withers. "huh?"

professor emmrich volkarin sinks into his desk chair, waving his hand dismissively above an aggregation of manuscripts and titles. "i hoped our mishap could have been discussed in civilised manner. i was mistaken. and thus, i am now forced to separate the two of you like unruly pups. wait outside, mister hull. i shall speak with young lord pavus first."

he did not anticipate cor to obey him without hardship. emmrich and his father were raised alongside each other in the grand necropolis. cor senior disparaged his humble origins at every turn. like father, like son. cor junior possesses the decency to sneer at his back--rather, where he thinks emmrich cannot hear. the spirits talk.

"--but--"

"i will not repeat myself."

cor slams the door at his heels.

"well, doesn't that bode well for me," amused, the older man shakes his head. one obstacle at a time, "take a seat, dorian. i would very much like to hear your account."

PLOTTED 👻 @magusri

[magusri]

'the tevinter', how unoriginal. where was the creativity? just more parroting and assumptions steeped in a refusal to know dorian at all. unfortunate that he is used to such attitude. although likewise in this particular case, dorian would find company lacking if not for the education itself.

jealousy, dorian thinks, really is bizarre.

bright eyes ( so bright, so bored ) turn towards professor volkarin. surprised skepticism, to hear his account at all. the young mage doesn't think the professor the type to curry favor, but dorian has been wrong before.

proper he's been taught but proper he does not sit. polite, yes, but legs and arms are crossed, despite all he's learnt there's no hiding his young age.

"i didn't do anything, ser." a poor start. his mother would have his ear between her knuckles for his lack of eloquence. "some of the spirits here are simple thoughts, right? made manifest and put into hosts so they can do your work... how much can we influence that thought and change their orders?"

[magusri]

@veilstrine : ❝ you have mud on your face. ❞ / the green knight starters.

"kaffas! i'm aware." he lifts a hand to wipe the side of his face, flicking it out to rid himself of most of the mud. there's no helping what's stuck to his clothes or the rest of his person. a displeasure everyone will continue to hear of.

"traipsing through this maker forsaken countryside... it's raining-the ground is wet and soft. it's certainly not my fault the unlucky bastard was standing in mud." there's an edge to his tone, disgust and annoyance coating each syllable. "i'll just hit the next miserably rouge in the face. problem solved."

his hand aimlessly waved. "shall we move on? continuing to stand around in this rain isn't doing us any favors."

[magusri]

and where are the boys for dorian to kiss?

misc headcanons xoxo. may be subject to change as muse or knowledge of universe grows.

titles.

dorian uses titles as means to distinguish a bridge between himself and whoever else. being used in a variety of different ways, depending on the person and relationship but almost always to show a distance. ( even in personal relationships, even if he's teasing. titles used to emphasize one's status / power or as a joke. )

[ ex. using his father's full name and title as magister as opposed to "father" or using the inquisitor's title when he feels the need to remind the inquisitor of just who they are / their position. ]

the outlier to this is emmrich.. that's professor volkarin until the day dorian perishes and always spoken respectfully.

alcoholism.

dorian is not picky on what he drinks. beer, ale, wine. a drink is a drink is a drink. one doesn't really care about taste when the goal is to drink yourself into a stupor. he does try to get his drinking under control once he hears + joins the inquisition, and then even more so once he officially takes his father's place in the magisterium. he does have a small bender the couple days leading up to his father's funeral. not for the funeral itself but the ritual and conversation that came after everyone was gone.

not to the extent it was with halward, but dorian does have a strained relationship with aquinea. yes, from the debauchery, but also post trespasser after his return. his lack of showing up or having any hand in halward's funeral, the disregard of expectations as the heir. they talk but it's not the same. it won't ever be the same.

flirting and first love.

dorian is flirty, weaving colorful words together with charm. with women he's more complimentary and with men he's more to the point with blatant flirting [ i mean c'mon. the eyes comment. i'm so dead ]. this is just part of who he is and what he grew up around. a natural way of speaking that's easy to slip in underhanded comments. that said... with charming people comes his sleeping around. by his own admission he says he has. whether it be his initiation or someone turning the charm on him [ and using him, in some cases. ]

dorian's realization that he much preferred men comes to him as a young man in one of the first circles he studied in. nothing comes of this boyish crush, curls and eyelashes forgotten to time. his first true love however... whiskey skin and shaded cheekbones, beyond the cloak of debauchery and scandal, unknown reciprocation. denying himself otherwise, hurting, temptation lost in trepidation so you fall back to old habits. breaking your own heart first before someone else can again.

honesty.

honesty is funny with dorian because if you ask him a question he will answer it outright almost 99% of the time. he can be vague enough that someone can be satisfied with what he's given, but he really does answer straightforwardly [ especially if prodded ] and if he doesn't want to answer a question he will tell you as much. he is also very good at defusing situations or turning conversations elsewhere. he really was born into politics... wild. i do also think it's a learned nature.

i personally think this falls in line with his character, as he much prefers the 'head on' or forceful approach in life. even in the magisterium dorian will be direct and haaaates talking in circles or having to repeat himself constantly.
