Also, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I really love Siryn's face hahah. Like, I think you did a spectacular job of making her bone structure look on point.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like her face, I spend hours on her, both in the beginning and later in the emporium. I’m glad it payed out.
I??? just saw this now?? Im sorry!!! But thank you!!! :D24. Something you like that your OC would hate? Well I love sugary sweets (less so as I get older but still) and Stal HATES overly sugary shit. I suppose she would also hate having a job where she’s required to sit around all day. I love it, I get a lot done, but for Stal she always has to be moving and she would end up doing laps around my work.
27. Most despicable thing your OC has ever done? I mean, she kills people pretty regularly and kinda has to judge them on the spot. Im pretty sure she’s probably killed an innocent or two. But if we’re talking about like, willingly despicable, probably that time she heard a human baby crying when she was like, 10, and left it and didn’t tell anyone. She was 10, scared, and just saw its potential to grow up and hurt her. She never went back to see what had happened.
46. A word that your OC can't stand? She hates a lot of words- if it has too many syllables she kind of just tunes it out and thinks the person using the big words has a superiority complex. Imagine. She ends up romancing Solas. Just. Think about that one for a little bit.
afterinquisition said: These are so great! I feel like you have a really good balance between poetic phrasing and a sort of getting-to-the-point way of writing. I diiig it!
Holy Christmas, thank you so much!! I always struggle with trying to maintain a balance. I absolutely adore your writing, so to hear this from you means a lot.
(And p.s., I didn’t tag you in my post, because I knew you’d already done this, not because I don’t like your stuff. Wander Silent is so good, and I’m looking forward to reading more of To the Quiet End. *beepboop*)

Well, okay, I’m not proud of anything I’ve written. Not really. I have a bad habit of hating something once I’ve posted it, but I am trying to get rid of that insecurity, so here we go! I’m just going to post things I’ve never published instead...
No, her anger and general despondency were mostly internalized, and this granted her the perfect and ever-enlightened disposition to be something great. Something dynamic. Something infamous.
Yeah, she was an internet troll.
Sooo, sometimes I write these “comedic” stories about random things like being a troll or a Nigerian prince who needs your money, and I always want to publish them but get too scared. So I just kind of write and edit them on the side and chuckle away alone... Sigh. They’re mostly self-indulgent kind of prose anyway. Like too wordy to be digested well.
For my second example (because whateva I’m posting tons):
Skyhold is the type of place that everyone says “Oh, that’s nice…” if you tell them you live there. They automatically try to change the subject because it’s such a gross and decrepit place to live, and the general pity they feel for you is too overwhelming for them to actually form any further sentences about it. Everything in Skyhold is dirty and broken, and the walls are so thin that you can hear someone typing on a keyboard in the next room (Varric, can you type any louder?). That is, of course, assuming that the loud music from your neighbor doesn’t drown it out.
I’ve written quite a few DA:I AUs because heyyyy, they’re my crack! I’ve never posted the one I have the most feelings about though, but it’s a modern study abroad/international exchange AU. I really love it because I actually fleshed out my Lavellan, it’s not centered around a Solas romance, and Corypheus is one of the main characters! Basically, I was really proud of myself. I developed a whole Dalish “modern slang” and it was really humorous (like Overloaded).
I wouldn’t say it’s well-written, but it’s definitely something I like reading back, so I guess that counts for something.
I tag (if you’d like): veeahknee, leaf-ear, arlathmasolas, minionripley, edyluewho, teklacat, mosthopelessofromantics, and anyone else who wants to! (but let’s be real, how many people actually see “who else wants to” and actually does it? It’s weird to hop onto posts uninvited, but I AM inviting anyone who wants to! This tagging thing is too exclusive for my dumb brain to remember all the people I’d like to tag)
