Gortash Week Day 4 -- Sacred/Blasphemous
Someone who's read the short stories please tell me, when Lucanis says Illario is rash is that actually real or is Lucanis just saying that because it's the impression he's always had? Because from the game the vibe to me was low-key opposite. Lucanis has the reputation of being the responsible one, but Illario is the one who is actually more thoughtful, and it was only now that he was unraveling. Is that a totally incorrect read I have of them? See I have no baseline to compare it to because I haven't read about their past, but I kind of like the idea of Lucanis having this horrible little trait. Just reoeating Caterina's words at Illario until they all believe it's real.
some of the best tropes: divorce, cheating, cucking, weird love triangle, breaking up making up, breaking up never making up, pining for your ex, pining for the person you're nominally in a competition with for the third end of the triangle, infidelity, emotional infidelity, fucking someone and imagining they're someone else, toxic soulmates, toxic codependency, proxy sex, exes with benefits, cheating, divorce
I cannot get into it in more detail but the stuff I've been working on lately... let's call it exploring my divorce kink
Elgar'nan's kink is the most vanilla sex ever. He does missionary only and has a breeding fetish, no I don't take constructive criticism.
What if Rook and Illario have a relationship before Veilguard, then as Illario's mental state deteriorates after years of Caterina's compounding crimes they break up into a sitiationship because Rook can't handle it, and Illario proceeds to lose his shit and do an attempted cousin killing. Only for Rook to show up and rescue said cousin (which Illario is actually relieved about) and then date and marry that cousin, while Illario watches from the sidelines. And they all live together in the Dellamorte Estate playing pretend family for the sake of Lucanis' happiness. Illario and Rook giving each other these yearning glances, but neither of them wants to do that to Lucanis...
But they do anyway.
And Lucanis is aware of this the whole time, pretending 'I do not see', because he doesn't think he can survive losing Illario and Rook. He's in a corner he can't leave. He's hanging onto to his broken family by a spider thin thread, uncertain how else he's supposed to hold onto these people.
Illario can't believe he's doing this to Lucanis. After everything else he's already done. He was supposed to be better than this. Lucanis genuinely does not deserve this. And he cannot fathom why Rook is even entertaining picking Illario.
Rook keeps thinking Lucanis is the one they should pick. Objectively. He is kind, he is thoughtful, he is soft and traumatised and logically he is the one who should make Rook happy. So why is that not enough? What is wrong with their head that the security Lucanis offers is not satisfying?
Basically, Rook mistaking comfort for love.
Divorce.
“Well said. Perhaps I was mistaken.”
Despite everything Solas kept going. Even tying himself to the veil was a choice to keep going.
It seems Solas found Varric’s words hitting close to home and never forgot them.

The World XXI
With @clodicious 's Ophelia Ingellvar, done for 2025's @unofficialdragonageday . I am extremely late but at least I can say I put my all into it.
The World finishes the journey the Fool begins. With the world at her feet she conducts the circle of life and death, beginning and end. But mourn not the ending of your journey, for it has freed you to begin anew, as the World looks upon all with hope and kindess, in this world and the next.
And on the note of returning I have finally decided to end my grieving period and replay Veilguard. The lost potential is immense but I require content for my Vitani/Illario fic so...
Suffering it is...
Girl help, why does Lucanis say both that he took a ship to Minrathous to kill Calivan in the Ossuary, when the Ossuary is somewhere in waters near Treviso? And then that he got captured in Minrathous, or on the way there and wakes up in the Ossuary.
So which is it???? (I need to check the transcript for this I can't...)
Why is the Chantry in Minrathous the Temple of Andraste?
I guess it makes sense since the Imperium Chantry still worships Andraste but as a mortal prophet mage. So technically it's lore friendly. But idk how much good faith I'm willing to give to the world building in Veilguard in particular.
Why am I finding notes in the Fade by some Vyrantium Circle mage talking about his Harrowing having a room full of spiders in the Fade?
Do you know where Vyrantium is? Tevinter. Do you know what Tevinter Circles are like? The exact opposite of the South. Tell me why the Vyrantium Circle would need a Harrowing, a Chantry ritual where Templars use lyrium to send an apprentice to the Fade for the express purpose of facing a demon to see whether they'll get possessed and then kill them if they do? When Templars in Tevinter don't use lyrium and have no authority over mages beyond a powerless police force which authority crumbles at the slightest show of resistance? When, unlike the South, Tevinter Circles do not function as prisons for mages, but schools with actual education you can leave whenever and have to pay to attend? Hm? Does it seem likely to you that the Imperium Circles would practise Harrowings? No? Me neither.

Let me tell you, logging off from your tumblr for 6 months and coming back to 99+ notes kind of puts into perspective how much people actually see my yapping...
Anyway, I became employed, now I'm back. I will be accepting condolences.
STEN • THE CHARIOT
two forces pulling in opposite direction • I had the pleasure of painting Sten with the tarot card The Chariot as inspiration for 2026's @dragonageannual ARCANA!
wheeze i know everyones point of contact for voltron is klance for some reason, but as a sheith shipper this is EXACTLY what season 8 of voltron felt like to me, convoluted and bullshit boring plot, too many characters, plot holes galore, randomass epilogue relationship for your sidelined gay character while devaluing the intense important relationship between the two closest characters (mike and will, keith and shiro) for no reason. at least they didnt totally allura el i guess lmfao.
i cant believe byler's gonna haunt me for the rest of my fucking life like sheith does, like fuck my life lmfao
Having experienced sheith prepared me for this. Like I knew they weren't gonna make byler canon, no matter how much they functionally structured the story to that exact point, because I know from sheith that it doesn't matter. Whoever's in charge is blind and unwilling. Stranger Things was too big and too boys media coded. The fact that byler even got adressed at all in the show is more than I thought they'd have the chops to do. It was more than they dared/were willing to do for sheith. Maybe 10 years from now when the next big thing finishes we'll finally get to the point where the sheith/byler of that decade will get the full ride.
doing things at the right age is literally a made up concept. you can start/pursue anything at any age. btw.
remember remember
Also, also, something that is prevalent especially in scientific careers/education/tech:
You will constantly be returning to school in some form or another. These fields in particular, but imo all fields, require constant learning. The world we live in is constantly changing and so does our understanding of it. So we change with it.
Whenever you go do a new thing all that you already have done and learned doesn't disappear. It's still there, and you will find a way to put that experience to use in the new thing. Yes, even that seemingly totally unrelated thing.
My previous education as an artist would seem pretty unrelated to my current choice to pursue special ed, no? Until you realize how many activities and visual learning exercises I can come up with thanks to my prior experience. I can also straight up hold art classes, teach painting and drawing basics, and a lot of advanced stuff as well, enabling me to substitute for art teachers for example. From special ed I could continue pursuing my interest in psychology, or I could still return to art as a career some day with a better starting fund. I could do both at the same time. Time is precious so why wait.
By continually evolving and pursuing new interests we grow our repertoire of experience which we take to all our new endeavours, and it makes us uniqe. It becomes a selling point, when only we have that specific combination of knowledge.
