9, 54, 97 :)

Thanks for sending these! (How have you been, by the way? Long time no speak!) 

9) Have you ever been stood up? 

Not by anyone I’ve dated, funnily enough; but sadly yes by friends. (Most of whom aren’t my friends anymore.) 

54) What big lesson could people learn from your life? 

Blimey, this is a tough one. Especially just before I’m about to head out! :-D Hmmm. OK… maybe: don’t accept people treating you like anything less than you want to be treated. Even if you have to put up with it for a while for good reasons (an abusive parent you financially depend on, an arsehole boss in a job that’s a stepping stone for where you want to go), make plans to make that situation as temporary as possible. And stick to those plans, come what may!

97) Is there anything you’re really passionate about? 

HAHAHAHAHA. Football. (That’s soccer to you Americans, obviously!) It’s just a pity that the English football team I support are so shit – so much so that I’m embarrassed to say who they are. Let’s just say my physio laughed at me yesterday…

Apart from that? Probably the Carver/Merrill ship, LOL. Been writing so much for them on AO3 recently and commissioning so much fanart of late, I suppose they have to count, right? 

Anyway. Thanks for the asks! x

Seven lines from a WIP

Merrill’s head was swimming. One minute Isabela said she’d finally teach Merrill what body shots were – hurrah! At last! Isabela had been promising this for so long, and Merrill had been so excited – and then the next thing she knew, Carver Hawke was kneeling, topless, between her legs; and it was all Merrill could do not to stare. 

Was he going to touch her? He was going to touch her. Wasn’t he?

Oh, will you look at that. Another Carver/Merrill DA2 fanfic work-in-progress: it’s actually kinda embarrassing how many I have (along with a few M!Hawke/Anders ones that need finishing, too. Sigh). 

Also, I’m not sure if this was meant to be seven sentences, or seven paragraphs. I went with the former to be safe.

Thanks @todisturbtheuniverse and I’m sorry again that there’s so many memes you’ve tagged me in months ago that I still haven’t done! I’ll get round to all of them eventually... I do actually want to do them, I’m just forgetful :-/ 

Anyway... Tagging: @dorianpink, @happymrschicken, @pletzel, @ungenue, @berelinde and any other writerly types who want to do this!

Oh dear, i hope he gets better soon!

Yikes, kidney stones are awful. Hope he passes it soon.

Thanks, guys. I really hope he does as well.

THE FEELS! How dare you? My poor heart can’t take it! (More please…)

Hahaha. Well, I’m always happy to torment Quinn myself more. I’ll have to post more prompts soon (or, if anyone ever has something they’d like to prompt without a list, feel free).

As someone who has only recently discovered SWTOR and the delicious agony of dear Malavai, I have a lot of reading to catch up on!

I have plenty you can read! I suspect Astrazia’s tag (found on my OC page) might be a bit easier to navigate when looking for fic. Though, if you just want a ton of pages of Quinn images, fic, and otherwise, his tag has plenty.

Love, love, love your SW/Quinn fics! They provide resolution the game itself is sorely lacking. <3

I think that’s part of the reason I wrote so much more for him than any other LI. There’s so much more I need from him than the game gives me in order to be happy. Well, maybe not happy. It makes me less miserable.

@berelinde answered your post: “So a question I currently don’t know the answer to. I keep seeing...”

She says she has one sister and two brothers, and both Laurien and Antoine are male names.

Actually Josephine says she has 4 siblings, but only mentions her 2 brothers and youngest sister. It's in the same dialogue tree/line where she mentions her brothers’ names.

Unless Bioware incorrectly wrote for Josephine's dialogue that she has 4 siblings, when really she only has 3? It's possible, but until otherwise stated Josephine still has an unnamed sibling, whose gender, as far as I know (I’m wondering if their gender is actually mentioned since everyone seems to agree, thus my question), is still unknown and simply assumed to be a brother.

Thank you though.

So, do you like Orsino?

I, uh. I forgot he was my icon. :D

berelinde replied to your post “You just don't get Sebastian at all and calling him selfish is rather hypocritical, since Anders is far more selfish. I also can believe you don't understand why he'd be upset over Anders murdering Elthina, who was like a mother to him.”

Some people seem to think that "selfish" means "does something I disapprove of." Can't be helped. Thanks for the well-written analysis!

Exactly! HOW DARE HE!!!! :-D 

Thanks for your reply, and glad you thought it was a good post, even though I'm sure I missed loads of things. I still have two more asks from that anon (presumably it's the same anon) in my inbox to answer... blimey. 

Yeah, I was a bit confused by the whole "selfish" accusation from that anon to be honest. I mean, Anders is really quite a flawed character, but he isn't selfish. Really he isn't.

There's a lot you could do with Death, though. "One door closes; another door opens." The scary cards of the tarot can be some of the most rewarding to think about. Good luck! I still love the originality of this idea.

For some reason I thought I'd replied to this, and it turned out I hadn't. Sorry about that!

Thanks for your comment. I already had an idea what I was going to write for the "Death" chapter in "Major Arcana" (I'd pretty much sketched out my ideas for most of the prompts before writing - unusually for me!), but after your post I realised you were right. I'll see if I can work your suggestion into my original idea... I actually think it'll fit quite well :-) Thanks for that!

Hope you like what I eventually manage to write. I'm hoping I can make some of the later prompts humorous ones, if I can :-)
