NEW   BLOG HERE

[nxthero-a]

It’s the end of 2018, and I’ve decided to do something that I’ve been wanting to do for two years now: a giveaway. I’ve held off on it for so long, but I feel that now is the time. Along with it being the end of year holiday season, a lot has happened recently that has made me very grateful for what I have, and I want to give some happiness back to this community that has always treated me with kindness. So, here’s my extremely overdue giveaway!

Deadline: January 10th, 2019

Terms + Conditions

Winners will be selected by a number randomizer on January 11th, the day after the deadline.

You DO NOT have to be following me, nor must I be following you.

You must be a roleplay or fandom blog for one of the following fandoms: Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, or Game of Thrones.

Likes and Reblogs both count as one entry each. You can reblog as many times as you want, but I’m capping the extra entries you get from reblogs at five to prevent people from swaying thing in their favor too much.

Another way to get entries: reply to this post and @ someone with a genuinely nice compliment. You can do this a max of ten times, but each compliment must go to a different person. Yes, I can count as one if you need another person.

With these methods combined, you can have a total of sixteen possible entries. However, this max is per person, NOT per account, and trying to trick me into giving you double the entries will disqualify you. [To be clear, entering multiple accounts is okay, and only a cumulative sixteen entries from your combined accounts will be accepted. Knowingly trying to mislead me into counting the accounts as separate entries is not okay.]

You can’t be hateful. If you reply with a backhanded compliment or I see any nastiness (misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, etc.) on your blog, you’re disqualified. This is meant to be a positive thing and I won’t reward anyone who spews hate with free stuff.

Prizes

Five winners will have a choice of one of the following:

An IRL character graphic [ examples 1 | 2 ]

An RP Promo Graphic  [ examples 1 | 2 ]

A background + avatar [ examples 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 ]

A one-shot revolving around your favorite character(s) [Any genre. Nothing sexually explicit, and I will refuse any problematic concepts.]

People who sent at least one nice comment will be entered in a second drawing, and three winners of that drawing will receive a blog avatar and/or a one-shot.

PSA: Moving

Ok so to put this bluntly, the past few months have been shit for me. Truthfully all of 2018 has been absolute baseball bat to the crotch for me. I don’t like how drained I’ve been from IRL stuff and how it has slowed a lot of my blogs to a halt. SO to fight off this slump and make things easier for me as a whole, I think it’d be best if I move Rasaan and all of my other DA muses to a multi. I’m going to take a break from most of my muses while I deal with the busy festival season this week and next week (which I am a very active participant in so my time is going to be mostly taken up anyway) and then I’ll link to the multi as soon as it’s finished.

[Side note to all my new followers: I haven’t been through the list of followers in about a month tbh so there’s a large group of people I haven’t even followed back yet let alone had the opportunity to check out your blogs. Since I’m moving Rasaan to a new blog in the near future, I don’t think it’d really serve a purpose to go through that list and start following people on here just to leave. Y’all are 100% invited to check out the new blog when I finish it if you’re still interested regardless of if we’re mutuals or not, and I’m sorry if I’ve indirectly made anyone feel discouraged about interacting with Rasaan through not staying on top of my shit.]

Quick Survey

Now that my brain has finally calmed tf down and I can start doing Dragon Age stuff again, I’ve decided on what I’m doing with Hawke and Nev. I really like how much easier my Elder Scrolls multi made rp with those muses, so I’m doing the same with some of my Dragon Age muses. Nev, Hawke, and a few other OCs that I’ve never brought to tumblr before are going on it. I’m also thinking hard about moving my canons (Josie, Rasaan, and Isabela) to it as well so I can have all my Dragon Age muses in one place and revitalize everyone with a fresh start. I know everyone’s probably sick of me moving things around so much, so I thought I’d make a little survey to ask for some opinions. I’d really appreciate some feedback.

Me realizing that none of the stuff I had queued for this week posted:

[ustrinamor]

UPDATE || Kitten is doing extremely well. More info on that below the cut if you’re curious. As for rp, I’ll try and get back to writing in a day or so. The kitten has been on a strict schedule of feedings and medicine among other things and keeping on track with everything as well as balancing work has been more exhausting than I thought.

Keep reading

[ustrinamor]

I was going to do stuff but as soon as I got home at like 3:30 I found a sick kitten laying in the road (otherwise uninjured) so I brought it inside and have spent the past hour making sure it’s okay. I gave it some food and water and that made it start moving around decently but it’s got an obvious upper respiratory infection that I’ll ask our vet associate about tomorrow when they get to the shelter.

[ustrinamor]

Here’s a pic of the kitten. It’s doing fine; just chilling out on my elbow as I watch stand-up on Netflix 😂

[ustrinamor]

So I was going to get to work on things yesterday like I said but then THIS happened. I’m gonna take a little semi-hiatus as I nurse this little dude back to full health and help him settle into his new home….which is now my house. Yeah, how could I NOT adopt him XD

💞: Feels attracted to them, but can’t work out if it’s platonic, sexual, or romantic attraction they’re feeling. @Kaaras :'D

[ This Heart Meme | @kaaras-adaar | still accepting ]

TBH same? Probably a slight lean towards the last, though she has 0 experience with actual romantic attraction so that’s the hardest thing for her to recognize. Like, she feels there’s something there, but she can’t really work out what it is yet. Part of her wants to find out, but another part of her is reluctant because she had no idea how the Ariqun would react if he heard she was getting too close to the Inquisitor. Regardless of how their relationship develops, she is afraid that the Ariqun would ask her to take advantage of it and abuse his trust for their favor, and Kaaras has become one of the only people she really couldn’t see herself doing that too.

On the other hand she admires him greatly and he’s someone she genuinely likes being around and she’s never really gotten along with others that well so its definitely a new thing for her and she doesn’t really want to lose that feeling. She’ll continue trying her best to spend time with him and work out what it is she feels, though she has to be discreet for reasons that have come up in our threads recently. Getting too attached with the southern world is dangerous for her. Especially because Kaaras is a mage.That doesn’t mean she’s not going to test her boundaries though. She’s always been a low-key troublemaker XD

LMAO BLESS HIM XD

Rasaan honestly sees herself as different from most Qunari anyhow. The reason why she’s so effective as a Qunari diplomat is because she’s not a complete hardass about the Qun, though she puts up that facade in front of the people who need to see her that way (i.e. the Triumvirate). A large part of how she behaves and treats non-Qunari comes from the fact that she isn’t really convinced of the Qun and its values like the vast majority of her people are. Her conviction is a front that she’s had to use to survive and progress in her society. If it came down to it, she wouldn’t die for the Qun. She wouldn’t submit herself for reeducation. She’d rather be a Tal-Vashoth. She values her own life and what semblance of individuality she has more than the Qun’s doctrine.

I think hanging around Kaaras has made her less afraid to ask questions and be curious about things she shouldn’t be. He’s proven so much of the Qun’s rhetoric wrong to her already without even realizing it. He’s a vashoth mage, and yet he fits her ideals of a leader better than her own leaders do. He doesn’t hinder her thirst for knowledge or deny her experiences she wants to have. He doesn’t treat her differently because she comes from the Qun, either. She’s judging him by he actions rather than who he is and where he’s from, and comparing it to her upbringing makes the Qun feel even wronger. If she felt like she could leave the Qun and not have to face the repercussions, she would probably do it at this point, because she’s starting to believe in Kaaras and the Inquisition more than the Qun. Eventually she will have to leave it because of Iron Bull’s personal quest. (I think I remember you saying Kaaras wouldn’t sacrifice the Chargers?) Either way, that quest is a bridge we DEFINITELY need to cross someday.

// Omg, yeeeesss, we definitely need to do some Rasaan and Kaaras after Bull’s quest (and yes, he would NEVER sacrifice the Chargers, it’s just not in Kaaras to be that way XD). It would be super interesting to see her reaction to such a thing, and seeing her fellow Qunari become Tal-Vashoth.

I think it’s great that Kaaras is teaching her so much by literally just being a decent person, though. He’s not forcing anything down her throat either, he’s literally just showing her every day to day things being in the South, and that’s honestly how it should be done. XD It’s adorable, though, and he’s a very open minded person, even if he can be a bit traditional in some senses. 

[qunchosen-blog]

YESSSSS!!!

Especially because the outcome means that the alliance has failed, and that if Rasaan goes back to Qunandar, the blame will be on her shoulders and there is no way in hell she is going to take the punishment for that. She becoming a Tal-Vashoth as well. She’ll be angry at Kaaras at first, but he isn’t the source of her anger. In fact, she’d actually agree with his decision. She’s just afraid of the repercussions and her uncertain future. Years of hard work to get to such a prestigious position in the Qun, and all of it sunk with a single dreadnought.

That’s what I love most about their interactions! They’re not trying to force ideology on each other, and yet they are learning so much just from being around each other. She’s just having this slow realization that the Qun isn’t truly right to her, though I think deep down she already knew that or else she wouldn’t be so adamant to experience the rest of the world. I’m really excited to see where this goes!

// Kaaras has had like… literally 0 positive experience with female qunari, so he’s totally awkward about the fact that Rasaan is NICE to him XD He’s even more surprised that she’s a Qunari, as well. Because all the others he’d met have been Tal-Vashoth or Vashoth, and nasty towards him, or tried to manipulate and gain something off him. And Rasaan has just been curious and friendly about everything.

It’s making him kinda just look at her and go “wtf is this really happening or do you want something out of me?” XDDD He’s soooooo wary around female qunari, but he’s actually quite comfortable around her, and that’s sweet. He’s just like BLESS THE MAKER, THEY DO EXIST! XDD

// Rofl, my dude, my partner is from Louisiana, so… xDDDD Altho he’s been here for like 10 years now, haha.

LMAO then he probably knows the feeling XD The south is like a giant, weird-ass family.

Alabama is the southern states’ weird grandpa that never leaves the chair on the porch. Louisiana is the cousin that only shows up when there’s a party. Arkansas is the sister that likes to act more sophisticated than she actually is. Georgia and the two Carolinas are bickering Southern Belles that sip tea and talk shit. Mississippi stays in its room all day and trying to write some Blues songs but its too lazy to execute any ideas it has. Tennessee is the uncle that spikes the punch at reunions. Virginia and West Virginia host the family BBQ every Sunday but everyone leaves right after the food is done because they won’t stop fighting over politics. Last but not least, Florida is the weird cousin that no one mentions in polite conversation. They just show up once every three weeks and are missing a different article of clothing each time.

7:45 pm? That settles it. I need more Australians to follow; that way my night shifts won’t be so quiet X’D

[kaaras-adaar-a]

// I mean… why not have more Aussie’s as friends anyway? We’re pretty awesome ;) 

[qunchosen-blog]

I mean you set a good example ngl XD but yeah I never really paid much attention to the time zones of the people I followed until I started working night shifts more often and realized how dead my dash was. I just had this strange realization of “fuck I should find more Australians” XDDD
