ok alright. i am finally posting ✨where there's smoke✨ my inquisition au fic! newest chapter is here!

the premise, in short:

what if, after anders was notably an apostate who blew up a chantry building and killed a chantry leader... people are not particularly stoked when this happens again. except even more destructively. and this time with a Heathen Elf™️ found at the scene. so, instead of seeing the prisoner as any sort of positive religious omen, (most of) the people in haven instead see her as a dangerous criminal, and react accordingly. and this starts to cause further problems. solavellan is also there eventually.

the premise, in long:

what if the tranquil didn't just all get turned into oculara offscreen, and actually were part of the plot. what if anders and kirkwall haunted the narrative a bit more. what if, a dalish elf who suddenly wakes up in chantry custody for a mass murder... assumes any personal information shared will lead to providing a target for an exalted march. and therefore doesn't share any. which only looks more suspicious lmao. what if the dalish/city elf stuff was not written in a way that i personally found very stupid (it will at least, be stupid in a new, different way! diversity win <3) [holds up incredibly minor npcs] "i just think they're neat" what if leliana's rose vision and general heretical tendencies went somewhere. i think she can have a little a chantry schism, as a treat. what kind of weird person would be like "hm yes. i love to wander around. as a visibly dalish apostate. all by myself :^)" and, what reasons might they have for going to the conclave directly, when it's literally Templar Central. here's her character tag uwu.

also i retconned some aspects of vg lore when i felt like it. didn't make sense and doesn't compel me! the elves don't need white guilt! solas cannot be arlathan's most special, invaluable, genius military mastermind, who singlehandedly won the titan war, and invented tranquility, the blight, eluvians, and sliced bread - then was still mythal's yappy lapdog who got laughed at in meetings afterwards. that is just contradictory fhdghfkdh.

The original plotter and instigator. I'm curious to see how they deal with her entity (for lack of a better term, I guess) in Veilguard.

i got tagged by @virshiral! here is solas having a really Normal Reaction after running into mihris <3

"No need to show off on the kid's behalf," Tethras says.  "I'm not sure what you're referring to."  "Come on. All that elfier-than-thou stuff - don't you get tired of it? I'm tired just watching it."  Bitterness would be unfair, directed at whatever lonely, Stone-severed sort of dwarf Tethras is. And, yet. Fairness is not something he's ever managed to find or cultivate in any great measure, in all his years on earth. "I was not aware it was competitive to speak my own language, Master Tethras," he replies, voice a little cold. Tethras clicks his tongue. "Touchy enough to play dumb! Nevermind, then." He gives a magnanimous wave of his hand. "Go on. Don't let me get in the way - should I hold up a scorecard?" How charming. How glib. It would be a waste of the dwarf's limited time; as Solas has already failed, and the People have already lost, over and over, by any possible measure. Unfair bitterness sharpens to equally unfair irritation. "As insightful as your commentary is," Solas says, flatly. "I did not ask for it. Not all of us prefer to bare our chests and loudly proclaim our forgetfulness of where we came from." Tethras flashes him a glittering smile. "Can't knock it until you try it, Chuckles."

i will tag @hallahart and @epiphany-jones if you feel like it ;o;

anyway it's solavellan time

[sunlight-shunlight]

anyway sorry. this is what i mean by the smol bean fandom zionists

no actually! many people all over the world, from many backgrounds, and especially in occupied palestine, have to consider this fucking situation :)

furthermore, i love how people will completely engage in atrocity denial based on Fucking Tweets, and then simply not acknowledge it 2 minutes later when it turns out the evidence is incontrovertible. this is definitely the sign of a smart, free-thinking, moral society, tooootally different from a fascist regime like north korea. right. haha.

i saw this a while back and it was weighing on me still. do not ever do this when gming 😭 you are not writing a novel, where the audience can go "oouhh!!! that line 200 pages ago was actually foreshadowing!!!! you got me good!"

you are meeting a group of people once a week, at best!!! and they are also doing simple arithmetic/making jokes/eating snacks/looking at their character sheet/thinking of a fully different red herring that you never imagined, at the same time. you need like an obnoxious number of clues to even register for them, let alone be able to actually solve your mystery.
