i know no one else has ever felt like this before, but i will be brave and speak my truth. i want to have lesbian sex
I just want to make a quick note about this before people get too silly about the situation. It's very important to remember that Robbie is Native American, and is putting a lot of work into making sure that Kattigan has indigenous cultural touchstones as part of his characterization. And that is the appropriate lens through which we should view his missing and murdered wife and daughter, I think.
I would be reluctant to use fridging in this exact context, because this isn't some imaginary scenario to generate manpain for a white hero, this is a much more common experience of Native American and First Nation people, having their wives and daughters and sisters (in particular, but not exclusively) go missing. And never getting answers, never learning what happened, and not being believed that there's a problem in the first place.
This is like how being rescued from a tower by a prince is not particularly empowering or affirming to cis physically able straight thin perisex white women and girls, but can be for basically anybody else. Particularly black girls and women, who do not get a lot of cultural messages that treat them as people who are so valuable and precious, who may not have the strength to save themselves, or may wish that they didn't fucking have to save themselves (and everyone else) all the time.
White men have this story so often happen that we have a trope name specific to one specific and particularly egregious version of this, but you don't often see men who look like Robbie dealing with this type of story in fictional settings, even though it happens for men like Robbie in real life with horrifying frequency.
Sometimes stories that are old can be new again in different hands, from different point of views, so just... mind how you step here.
I'm so in Love With You
Mr. Siren is back again from the void! Been mulling over what to do with this scene @seizethemage-main and I RPed between our characters, Kieran and Via after what happened to him in Fire and Ice. I fear we can't gatekeep this one anymore. So here's a link to it on Ao3! They're so in love with each other, I love em so BAD.
Title: I'm so in Love With You Rating: Explicit Word Count: 4624 Summary: Kieran's been struggling after the battle against the two dragons in Hossberg. Along with having to recover from the severe injury he'd gotten, the mage struggles with the sight of the new scar. Lucky for him, one of his lovers is there to help.
Auri is once again subject to a sorta muscle study/using a reference that shows off the muscles lol, and I think I did pretty good job ^^

I’m literally so obsessed with these gay ass old men look at them!!!! Look at my friends art!!! Happy birthday to Caspian indeed.
One of the things I love so much about Neve is that while she is sarcastic, cynical, and deeply pragmatic, she isn't actually pessimistic or mean-spirited. You can see it in the first couple hours of the game—she approves if Rook supports Varric's attempt to talk down Solas and disapproves if they don't. She approves if Rook spares the mayor of D'Meta's Crossing and disapproves if they leave him to his fate, and it's a principled thing; she talks with Harding about it later and points out that there were too many variables at play to make a snap decision to end a man's life.
She asks beggars and informants in Dock Town if they have a place to stay for the night or if they need anything. If Rook takes her on the quest to deal with the lovers in Treviso and then helps them escape, she hopes for a happy ending for the person leaving the Venatori, and she's pleased if the Shadow Dragons are able to help people break out of it. Every time they encounter a murder victim from Minrathous she mentions she'll find their families and give them closure, even for a Warden who died at Weisshaupt. Even at the very end, if she wasn't taken at Tearstone, she'll mention to Rook that she found the wisps who have been annoying her all game huddled under her desk in fear, and she tried to give them some of their favorite objects to calm them down. It's no wonder a romanced Lucanis can say she restored much of his faith in people; for someone who's seen everything a corrupt society like Tevinter is capable of, she still has an incredibly kind heart.
OTP Vibes Via and Elodie:
The shadow polycule has expanded a bit and you know what I’m so here for it.

Deadly Reminders - An RRAU Story
Aka Aurelia’s perspective of Fire and Ice
Aurelia Bullthorne is forever haunted by the day her squad died, and the events surrounding Weisshaupt did nothing except further inflame her fears of seeing those she loves perish because of her. However, when the time comes to take down the dragon which tried to ruin Treviso, she doesn’t expect just how chaotic it becomes, or the fact that she has to once again face reminders of her regrets, especially when she must do so to protect the younger Wardens she has slowly begun to care for.

Rook Roundup
Hey everyone! Since it’s been a while since I was actively and regularly posting here and I see some faces I don’t recognize I thought I’d post an updated little roundup of ALL TEN (yes… ten…) of my rooks!!
Aria Laidir/Hawthorne
Lords of Fortune • 29, She/Her, Saboteur Rogue, City Elf
Former Nevarran street rat, full time menace, lord of fortune rogue Aria Laidir is all chaos and no subtlety. She loves experimental alchemy, climbing on literally every surface she can find, and the freedom that comes with the ocean. In her canon she romances Neve Gallus and the nickname “trouble” really does suit her quite well. Disaster lesbian, explosion enthusiast and swashbuckler style fighter, Aria is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Jordan Pavus
Shadow Dragons • 27, They/Them, Evoker Mage, Human
Famously a “mean lesbian”, ice mage Jordan Pavus is the former child of magister Aurum Prycis. At 17 they disrupted their corrupt father’s plans and fled home, later being taken in by Dorian Pavus and changing their name. They specialize in undercover work and interrogation for the Shadow Dragons as well as wards and security. They may be a little prickly on the outside but they write cheesy romance serials under a pseudonym in their free time and love cats a normal amount. Their type may or may not be short redheads (it may) and let’s just say that baby they’re a giver!!
Caspian Aldwir
Veil Jumpers • 8271, He/They, Veil Ranger Rogue, Ancient Elf
An ancient elf with the face of a much younger man, Caspian is the brother of Felassan and a former scout under the Dreadwolf’s Rebellion. Now at odds with the god of lies, Caspian is a bit strange but wise and compassionate. He works with the Veil Jumpers, having found a new home in Clan Aldwir and specializes in enchantment and ancient elven artifacts. A spirit medium, he doesn’t use his magic in combat, opting instead for enchanted arrows and artifacts. His companion, Falon, is a red fox that shares its consciousness with Empathy, a spirit who remains intentionally undetected.
Alec de Riva (Calleary)
Antivan Crows • 26, He/Him, Spellblade Mage, Human
Half brother to Viago “on the bastard side,” Alec is also known amongst house de Riva as “the optimist crow.” Trans, gay, a little bit of a whore, Alec is charming and kind and always finding a way to look out for his fellow crows. He loves to cook, paint and play piano and specializes in illusion magic. His calling card is an illusory purple butterfly that announces his presence before he arrives. He utilizes mirror illusions in combat to confuse and disorient his opponents as well as a combination of illusion and the reflective underside of his cloak to obscure himself from view.
Quinn Amell
Grey Wardens • 20, She/They, Healer Mage, Human
Daughter of Warden Commander Leo Amell and either Morrigan or half-elf Maia May (depending upon the story) Quinn is also known by their peers as “Baby Warden.” A shapeshifter, Quinn favours the forms of a calico cat and a blue jay, occasionally utilizing squirrel and bunny forms as well. She’s a healer who focuses primarily on support when she’s not hurling walls of fire at darkspawn. ADHD personified, Quinn is bold, brave, and just a tad bit reckless.
Achilles Ingellvar/Wolfe
Mourn Watch • 33, He/Him, Reaper Warrior, Qunari
Otherwise known as a gentle giant, Achilles is tall, built like a brick wall, and loves with all 6’8” of himself. He’s passionate about spirits and protecting them in his work in the mourn watch and does most of his work as a bodyguard for the uh… squishier members of his faction. In canon, a crypt baby, in AU’s a tal-vashoth who grew up in Cumberland. Achilles can be found binding leather journals or glassblowing delicate goblets in his free time and has a special interest in ships, sharks and bioluminescence.
Senior Warden Nova Alina
Grey Wardens • 41, She/Her, Champion Warrior, Qunari
Soft hearted and a strong warrior, Nova fled the Antaam at age 19 when, as a part of Sten’s expedition, she managed to slip away into the woods during the skirmish that left the rest of their squad dead. Travelling on her own for a long time, Nova struggled finding who she was. Eventually, accidentally blighted after an encounter in Orlais, Nova joined the wardens. She enjoys sewing plush griffons for the kids in towns she visits and is Shy with a capital s. Despite her social anxieties, she will always choose kindness and is a good leader once her confidence kicks in.
Via Tethras-Tilani
Shadow Dragons • 23, She/Her, Duelist Rogue, Dwarf
Cousin of Varric, Adopted by Maevaris and Thorold after her parents were murdered by Venatori, Via is all bravado and no self esteem. A specialist in stealth and infiltration, Via doesn’t let the struggles of being soporati in Tevinter stop her. What she lacks in magic she makes up for in bold audacity. An expert at sleight of hand and a polyamorous sweetheart, Via will have an entire house cased and looted before you can say hello, ready to return to her partners.
Warden Commander Leo Amell
Grey Wardens • 45, He/Him, Knight Enchanter Mage, Human
Former Kirkwall nobility, survivor of The Gallows and Kinloch Hold and a few years overdue for The Calling that keeps teasing his nightmares, Leo Amell is a flaming bisexual and a pretty boy at his core. A specialist in fire magic and the techniques of The Knight Enchanter, Leo has a storied past full of heroics, love and sex. At the end of the day he’s a lover boy with a soft spot for his faction and found family and he will protect the well being of his loved ones above his own Every. Single. Time. He plays the lute and enjoys fine art and sweet coffee.
Naiad Mahina
Veil Jumpers • 42, She/Her, Slayer Warrior, Dalish Elf
All rage and chaos contained in a tiny little form, Naiad is a tired mom who is frankly Sick Of This Shit. An absolute menace on the battle field and a strong leader, Naiad is mostly concerned with keeping her 19 year old daughter out of trouble while she rapidly loses any semblance of control as a parent to the passage of time. Her best friend was kidnapped by Tevinter Slavers in their youth, leading her to have even stronger convictions and a (understandable) bias against humans. Ultimately, she simply longs for a kinder world and the assurance that her daughter is safe.
Jordan Pavus — Reference Sheet
Characterization Cheat Sheet — Quinn Amell
Body Language/Physicality
General Behaviour: hyperactive, stims constantly, in constant motion, hanging off furniture or people, whatever is closer, little happy dances when she eats good food or gets good news, talks wildly with her hands, terrible at eye contact, looks like her brain is moving a million miles a minute
Flirting: tucking her hair behind her ear, soft and shy hand touches, blushing sooooo bright red, stumbling over herself to help them, gets really still when they walk by, manages to maintain eye contact, blinking a lot
With Established Romantic Partner: constant physical affection, holding hands, kissing cheeks, wants them to carry her around in her anima forms, cuddles, cuddling, snuggles, snuggling, hugging while standing, hugging while sitting, hugging while laying down— you get the picture.
With Friends: hugs galore, teasing, playful shoves, messing with them in her animal forms, getting so hyperactive sometimes she accidentally wounds someone, I’m so sorry Zaedrin for how many times you’ve been accidentally wacked in the face
In combat: constantly in and out of animal forms, playing the battlefield, making herself hard to hit by changing forms, walls of fire and bolts of fire, otherwise very support based, barriers and healing on the field, very good strategist, but reckless when others are in danger, utilizes bird flight especially for strategy, very much using the land to her favour, speed over strength
Dialogue/Speaking
Voice: Jennifer English as Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3, soft and sweet, British accented (Fereldan), speaks very quickly
Humour: laughs at her own jokes, she really laughs at every joke even if it’s not funny, physical comedy with her animal forms, so many cat antics, and let’s not forget the shark
General: she speaks so goddamn fast, sometimes changes topic mid sentence or abandons her sentence part way through completely, tangents galore
With friends: playful banter, blunt teasing (especially about relationships), eg: “Zalan did you fuck my dad”, tries to be positive and optimistic and offer the bright side wherever possible, gives really good advice, sometimes accidentally bulldozes over people because she gets so excited to talk to them
Romance: softer spoken, words of affirmation, constant and I mean constant compliments, meaningful ones too, once the words ‘I love you’ leave her lips for the first time you can best believe they will be said soooooo frequently
Anger: gets quiet, it’s eerie how still she becomes, pinpoint heartbeat clarity and focus, loses all her lustre and hyperactivity, voice comes out lower and more monotone
Cursing: she doesn’t curse that much, but she’s not against it, she likes to save her cursing for moments where it really feels earned
Combat: mostly just calls out to ask if her healing or barriers are needed or to warn someone of an approaching enemy, not one to speak much during combat otherwise!
And if you do write Quinn into anything, I am Open to interpretations of her character! This is a guideline not a hard and fast rule set, I’ll be happy to see my little guy written in any way!
I haven’t felt this relaxed in months.
Characterization Cheat Sheet — Aria Hawthorne/Laidir
Body Language/Physicality
General Behaviour: constantly moving, bouncing, crooked smiles, loud unashamed laughter, constantly seconds away from blowing something up, soot in a little outline around where goggles once were, hanging upside down from banisters, feet never touching the floor, strong gargoyle energy, talks with her hands
Flirting: bold and blunt pick up lines, forward, physical touch, making out is a part of the flirting stage for her, grabbing the front of shirts, leaning in close, unashamed dirty jokes
With Established Romantic Partner: Softer, hanging on their arm, even dirtier jokes but she whispers them so only they can hear, loves to be carried, somehow even more excitable, ear twitches, puppy dog eyes
With Friends: openly affectionate, hugs and cheek kisses, also sometimes you need a platonic make out session just for fun, loves to poke and prod and bother, braiding or brushing hair, gives them little trinkets
In combat: Constantly in motion, very swashbuckler style of fighting with a rapier, flipping and jumping around, climbing enemies, is that an Antaam or a spring board?, only she can tell you, (it’s both), cocky and decisive
Dialogue/Speaking
Voice: Emily Axford as Fig Faeth in Dinension 20: Fantasy High, bright, slightly raspy, laughter constantly threaded throughout her speaking
Humour: Very dirty jokes, innuendos, puns, hyperbole to the 10000th degree, outlandish stories that you can never quite tell if they’re real or not (somehow, they’re usually real)
General: Honest and bold, she doesn’t tend to mince her words, though she is kind with them, and tries never to comment on anything someone can’t change in 5 seconds (like something in their teeth), she’s very much a girls girl lesbian who is always there for her fellow girlies and anyone else feminine presenting, very encouraging, sarcastic and silly
With friends: she’s like a personal cheerleader for her friends, encouraging, kind, always the one trying to say the right thing, though she won’t hesitate call out her friends if they’re being self destructive
Romance: again the dirty jokes and raunchy humour, bold flirtation and direct action, she is not afraid to say what she wants and she won’t wait around for it to be given, the type of girl to get flustered worse the longer she’s in a relationship, scared of Love and has never had someone to say it too before
Anger: she’s an angry crier, she will cuss you out whilst in tears, will call names, knows swear words in every language despite only being fluent in trade
Cursing: see above, one might say she curses like a fucking sailor. Who knew?
Combat: spider-man like quips, laughing when she lands a good hit or an enemy misses her, her constant motion makes her voice almost bounce around the battle field
And if you do write Aria into anything, I am Open to interpretations of her character! This is a guideline not a hard and fast rule set, I’ll be happy to see my little guy written in any way!
Reblog this to sprinkle some love on prev!
Anyway. Here’s some new Quinn screenshots!
