AsiaPop Comicon

I HAVE A COSPLAY STORY I went to AsiaPop Comicon on the second day August 26 2017 and I dressed as Death from Sandman. It was my first con and honestly I was self conscious about my costume. It was a hastily put together thing, a plain black tank top, black belt, a wooden Ankh amulet painted silver, my face, arms and upper chest was covered in white face paint. I had black lipstick and the swirl under the eye as part of Neil Gaiman’s design of death. My white paint had gotten on /everything/. I was lugging around two bags, one camera bag and one for the stuff I would get. I’m wandering the con gawking at everything and I come face to face with a crowd yelling. ‘CYBORG IT’S CYBORG.’ In my head I went. ‘Who are they yelling at?’    My automatic reaction was to look around for a cosplayer and then I bump into someone beside me. The first thing I register is that there is a person beside me and soft fabric brushing against my arm. I look up and I see this tall grinning dark skinned man wearing a black hoodie who looks vaguely familiar. I think he says : ‘Are you alright?’ I know I said : ‘Oh my god, I’m sorry.’ And then he leaves and I am standing there gears whirring in my head trying to process what happened. It is only when he is walking away with the crowd tailing behind him that I realize it’s Ray Fisher. I bumped into Ray Fisher. I BUMPED INTO RAY FISHER. I screamed internally and just had to stand still for a moment. I have no proof at all, no photograph, no autograph, no physical proof what so ever just a memory.   (Though honestly I think it would have been rude to ask him for an autograph or picture) He was gracious and kind to a girl in Death cosplay.     THANK YOU MR. RAY FISHER, I AM SORRY I BUMPED INTO YOU BUT IT MADE MY DAY. I HOPE YOU HAD A LOVELY TIME IN MANILA

Gregorian monks singing “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”

“on the boooooolovarrrd of brooookennnn dreeeemmsss”

[theoriginaldorklord-blog]

I turned this on and at that moment my roommate opened the curtains, and I immediately had this epic video in my head of us cleaning our apartment, and raising a castle around it with hammers and magic.

I’ve introduced so many people to Gregorian: the best way to do it is to slip it into a normal playlist.

[geobrarian]

This is the soundtrack of an angel that was thrown out of heaven unjustly and is existing on earth, and being tracked by an adversary, while an angel friend is preparing to come rescue him.

[kickingshoes]

I. LOVE. THIS.

[lilbittydragon-deactivated20241]

This is a “band” called Gregorian! They have whole albums of covers of popular music! Their cover of “Hurt” by Johnny Cash is my transcendent fave.

I thought of Good Omens, either Crowley looking for Aziraphale or Aziraphale looking for Crowley

Vigan! You know Lady Isolde in Dragon Age and how she says Teagan! I can’t say Vigan in my head now without her accent. Orlesian. 

On Vigan itself, I loved it. It’s a good place. Good food, especially if you like the longganisa.

Somewhere in the Philippines! I really should remember the names of places I go to. All I remember is that it was a school project thingy we had to make a brochure I was not only permitted to take pictures but allowed to go crazy.

I went to Japan in December. It was cold for my poor tropical sensibilities, but so beautiful. Look at the ice in the ground! I was low-key freaking out to my siblings and going. WHAT IS THAT? IT’S SO SHINY!

‘That’s just ice.’

SO PRETTY

I went to a beach in Subic, Philippines and this is how much glass I gathered in one morning. I could have gotten more but when my mother saw me she made me stop because she did not want me to cut myself. I think people were drinking and then just for fun smashing the bottles against the stones. 

Children run around barefoot there.

Dragon Age Head Canon:1

I know that in all origins for the Warden Zevran finds them and tracks them down but for a Mage Warden it would be logical that Zevran used the phylactery to locate said Mage Warden.

The phylactery of the Mage Warden was sent to Denerim, where Loghain made his home base and also where I assume he made the deal with Zevran. Loghain set himself up as king he could totally pull rank and have the phylactery pulled out of wherever it had been stored. He could spin it in a way that even the Chantry would support him.

“There is a dangerous Grey Warden Mage who not only helped a blood mage escape and betrayed King Cailan, is building an army. I demand the mage’s phylactery now!”    

When it’s put like that I think the Chantry would be hard pressed to say no. They’d probably hand it over on a silver platter. Especially if Loghain (but most likely Howe) would feed into the paranoia that the mage left to their own devices could become apostate and then maleficarum.  

And when the Mage Warden meets and spares Zevran…

Mage Warden: How did you find me?

Zevran: Loghain gave me your phylactery, here I still have it.

Zevran hands over the phylactery.

Zevran: It was quite a useful thing, like playing a game of ‘hot and cold’--

Mage Warden promptly drops it.

Sets it on fire.

Throws a Lightning Bolt.

Winter’s Grasp.

Grinds it and buries it in the ground with Stone Fist.

Mage Warden: It was lost in the struggle.

Mage Warden cups Zevran’s face and stares intently into Zevran’s eyes, fingers still tingling from residue magic and eyes glowing bright.

Mage Warden: It. Was.Lost. In. The. Struggle.

Zevran: Ah yes Warden, of course how utterly clumsy of me to lose it.
