“When am I ever not energized?”

“Certain mornings.”

“Only after certain evenings.”

Just a nonsense post about nothing in particular...

My contribution for @dragonageannual 2026

Viago de Riva, The Emperor

fact-dogsarehappiness

Me, 2019: I love everything about space, I follow several NASA accounts online so I can stay up to date on any missions, I’m actually taking an astronomy class right now and learning about space is restoring this childlike wonder that I haven’t felt for three years

Me, 2024: No I didn’t know they sent Katy Perry to space and honestly I don’t give a shit, really who even cares about this stuff anymore

Me, this whole past week: COPY MOON JOY

All these industries with shortages of workers and they can’t figure out why.

Im proposing the hypothesis that the reason we don’t have enough doctors/pilots/bus drivers/etc is that maybe, just maybe, having your entire industry function as a lifelong hazing ritual isn’t the best recruiting strategy.

Doctors are subject to 8 years of post-secondary education and are forced to work 48 hour shifts.

Pilots and other transportation workers have absurd hours of service requirements that start your rest period as “the moment you shut the vehicle down” and can be as short as 9 hours in some cases.

Railroad workers have to be available on-call 6 days a week and be ready within two hours notice. They don’t get sick time.

Retail workers have to keep a veneer of politeness against any and all abuse or they can be fired.

Truck drivers get paid by mileage and rarely see pay for shipper or receiver delays.

Work should not be designed to make you a miserable burnout and yet here we are.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

I just don't think that Lucanis is weird enough for a possessed guy.

like, he has wings and sometimes his eyes glow. so what. he lives in a fantasy universe, that's practically normal there.

yeah, some people write him as being able to purr. it's a good start.

but we could make it more!

his nails grow super fast - he has to trim them practically each evening - and they grow super sharp and pointy. he's having difficulty trimming them too, since they're very hard.

his eyesight is way better than it used to be.

he didn't notice that in the Ossuary, what with being locked up. and afterwards, he just thought he forgot some stuff in his imprisonment. but one day he gets talking with Davrin or Emmrich or Harding and no. it turns out he really sees more colours than he used to. he's not sure but his night vision might be much better too.

he's eyes track movement like they never had before and he can see farther away. yesterday, he spotted a tiny bird hiding in a tree from at least a mile away. and then was startled when he realised this fact because since when can he do that!

Lucanis always had a thing about smells - just check his pov in the Tevinter Nights - but ever since bonding Spite it gotten so much more sensitive. he knew that some animals supposedly can smell fear but he never expected to be able to do it himself.

do you see my vision yet?

Excellent additions by @lunammoon 10/10 and gold star ⭐ for understanding the assignment!

I agree completely that Lucanis hair is weird to touch. Is it waterproof, like ducks? Who knows? He doesn't want to let them test it, for some reason. Alternatively, it's super dense like penguin feathers!

Hmmm, hollow bones. On one hand, bird vibes intensify. One the other, aren't those kind of fragile? Not exactly something an assassin can afford.

I will have you know @rookanis-de-riva that humans do in fact produce pheromones. We are even somewhat capable of smelling them. But it's not something we register consciously, so Lucanis would be so confused after his sense of smell improves. He is smelling Something but Maker take him if he knows what it is or why this is his subconscious reaction to the smell.

Maybe he should take some lessons from Taash on recognising smells?

I think Lucanis should have dietary requirements that aren't exactly normal for humans. in fact, he's kind of craving things that he would have never considered before being possessed, or scorning things that he used to like or at least tolerate.

lunammoon

True. This should range from benign, (Rook eventually wears him down enough that he tries some of their tea and to his suprise it's honestly not that bad and he won't stoop down to making it himself but he WILL try some when Rook makes it) to noticibly strange (he eats his meat much more rare than he used to. he can't eat chicken anymore because he's not going to consume rare chicken no matter how much he wants to) to straight up bizarre (Bellara is certain that she was just tired and that was a boiled egg Lucanis swallowed whole because him eating a raw egg whole would be absurd)

Lucanis needs to be very careful when cooking because his spice tolerance is through the roof now. he thinks it's because the Ossuary fucked up with his pain threshold but in reality he just doesn't register capsaicin, the same way birds don't. it does allow him to win a bet against Davrin when they have to eat the spiciest pepper in Taash' stash without flinching.

besides liking his meat rare now, he starts to detest the taste of cooked meat. fried or roasted is fine, and he really craves smoked, salted or pickled meats. but cooked makes him want to throw up for some reason.

raven-6-10

he can't drink any alcohol now, though. the taste is just too much for him, even if it's watered down or in some fruity cocktail thingy.

Lucanis likes shiny things. Like, he really really likes shiny things. And colourful things and sparkly things and. well, you get the point.

Once he gets out of the mental Ossuary, he starts to low-key hoard stuff in his pantry of brooding. There were already all kinds of candle holders - shiny metal! nice shapes! - and his favourite coffee cups. But now there are trinkets he picked up all over the place, ranging from little figurines from Treviso markets, to enchanting glowing baubbles from Minrathous, to colourful pebbles he found in Rivain and liked. He rearranged them constantly around his bed to make them look the best, look at our stuff! to make them fit in the limited space. Spite is helping. For a given definition of help. They have very different ideas for where things should be.

There are even fabrics he seen and liked and bought without thought. His bed still looks a step away from collapsing into a pile of wood, but now it has a bunch of soft blankets in a range of colours. There's a giant patchwork duvet on it, with pattern that looks like wyvern scales. And some very nice decorative pillows. Lucanis doesn't remember buying the duvet or the pillows. Did the Caretaker leave them here?

(Nope, it was Rook who definitely noticed Lucanis' new hoarding habit.)

Lucanis likes to collect jewellery too! Rivaini, Tevene, Dalish, Nevarran and Antivan! Somehow, someway, he brings back something from every outing he's on. Even when they're in the middle of Arlathan, he somehow comes back with three bracelets, an armband and a ring. All found in the ruins. Emmrich had to confiscate the ring for being mildly cursed but the rest Lucanis got to keep. He's irrationally happy about that fact. He doesn't know where this is coming from.

He also likes to give the shiny things to people he likes. Which is... not like him exactly? He usually prefers smaller gestures than that. The dessert is more of his thing. But no! He needs to give shinies! jewellery and other such things to Rook! people he likes.

(One day he's going to see Rook wear the things he gifted them and it's going to short-circuit his bird brain so hard.)

Concept time again

A Rook de Riva who was trained, raised, and even loved by Viago (and Teia) comparing training and past contract notes with Lucanis who was TRAINED and “raised” by Caterina

Lucanis mentions Caterina striking both him and Illario with her cane, and he maybe even laughs a little at the memory. Rook has to stop themselves recoiling in horror, they in return tell a story of getting injured by a fellow fledgling in training and Viago patching them up while gently talking them through what happened and how they could improve for next time.

fleshed out my monster/abomination!Lucanis' design a bit more yippiee!

A very pensive Lucanis. He and Spite are having a silent conversation.

dalishious

I know the more likely scenario is that Lucanis was expected to memorize this shit as part of being the grandson of First Talon.

But given his banter that suggests he once had a little crush on Viago, I much prefer the idea of him just not knowing how to deal with that, so he started studying House de Riva
