Hello!! For DWC, might I suggest "i’m a very valuable investment" for Passion and whoever you'd like?

@dadrunkwriting

Varlas is a bit broodier than usual here (perhaps something happened right before this? An argument? IDK) but it's SO fun to write him interacting with Passion! (Thanks for the prompt~)

“I don’t understand,” Passion mused, eyes flickering with both confusion and curiosity. “Solas is obviously annoyed by this facade, this performance, and yet… he puts up with it? With you. Why?”

The elf currently known as Varlas shrugged, leaning against a pillar across from where the spirit sat in this pocket of the Fade. Memories welled up inside him, unbidden — how many times had he annoyed Solas in the time they’d known each other? The first words he’d ever said to Solas had been a smart quip.

Solas could have ordered him punished for his insolence, but instead? He’d smiled and mused, “A wit as sharp as yours is wasted here.” That was what Solas had been drawn to from the start, wasn’t it? The thing that had earned him that first golden opportunity.

“I guess he must like my sharp tongue,” Varlas said. “And all the things I can do with it.”

The spirit laughed and leaned back, falling into a suggestive pose with one arm propped up to support its head. “Oh? Is that it? Somehow, that still feels… inadequate.”

That jab was an attempt to pry deeper, learn more. Varlas could tell. Passion was insatiable when it came to matters like this — hungry to understand more about what made this relationship work. I wish I knew.

Solas had given him so much, right from the very beginning. Nice clothes, lessons, invitations… even the name he was using right now. Our hope.

Hope for what, though? A future they could share as equals? Varlas had thought so, once, but he was no longer sure — perhaps he was only a pawn, after all.

But a game can hinge on a pawn, sometimes.

“I’m a very valuable investment,” Varlas said. “And so is he.”

what's some of this oc lore you've never shared?

Oh man, well, a lot of it's just... silly little details I think are Neat? Like Passion being an OLD spirit, maybe even one that survived the day the Veil was put up. Or Kieran being able to vaguely recall things, but not really (I love the "once upon a December" sequence in Anastasia, aaah!) And... I've been thinking about how Ash could have a kid he doesn't know about, and different ways he could find out about her.

And a lot is still up in the air until we know more about DA4, because some of my lore and ideas deal with trying to move characters into positions where they could be involved in future stuff. Like Minna Tabris and Isa Lavellan. Or even Ithelan...!

And of course, it's not something I've NEVER shared, but I want to do more with my Mahariel's mother, Tiralin, who is an ancient elf. Playing Nature of the Beast has made me want to figure out exactly WHICH clan she stayed with for a while before, because I think it'd be cool if it was semi-relevant. (Possibly even Zathrian's clan...?)

DANCE COLLAB, BEEN AROUND THE WORLD AUGUST ALSINA FT. CHRIS BROWN // LUHAN & MINZY (@rkxminji)

minzy you’re still better than me--

to luhan, dancing meant everything. he lived for it, it was his passion. but, he was always alone and he didn’t like that fact. collaborating with a good friend of his was interesting. she was an excellent dancer, impressive to the point that he’d like to say she was a lot better than him in terms of technique and flow. then again, everyone had their specialties in dancing. for luhan, as embarrassing as it sounded, he was more proficient in ballet and traditional chinese style dances. however, growing up in the heart of the city of la, he was also influenced by hip-hop ( which he wasn’t too bad at ).

luhan stretched real quick before dancing, he felt awfully drained because of countless nights staying up—in which he screwed over himself by staying up, playing video games all day long instead of getting his shit together. this wasn’t the usual for him, he usually did it after a workout but it had been far too long since he did. he needed more gains, school was also an asshole to him because simply to put, an engineering major wasn’t the slightest, easiest. math, science, more math, and endless piles of mandatory math homework with a due date.

dancing took off the stress that drove his system crazy. it was his sanctuary. he could do it for hours and days on end and this time, he found the time to do so. practising for hours with minzy, he hoped he wasn’t burdening her if he made a mistake here and there trying to get the moves down with precision and immense accuracy. so, the choice for the song was been around the world by august alsina ft. chris brown. the song wasn’t difficult to follow the beat to, the rhythm and the melody were also to his cup of tea. but, it didn’t hurt to add a sense of creativity and spice it up by adding a small freestyle ( that didn’t drastically change the entire dance, of course!! ).

 after they were both done, luhan plopped himself against the floor, then stood up to reach for water and chug it down. his throat a bit dry, in dire need to replenish his system, to prevent dehydration. he gave minji an exultant smile, “you still dance better than me.” an amiable chuckle escaping from his mouth, “i need to catch up to you one day.”
