6. something written by your OC in response to an honor they’re being awarded - for anyone?

An unsent letter found crumpled and partially burned in the hearth of The Iron Bull’s quarters above the Herald’s Rest tavern. The handwriting matches that of Inquisitor Tyla Lavellan. Some passages are difficult to make out due to the ink running and burnt portions.

Hearth of my Youth,

I trust the Clan is well. The coming winter looks to be unforgiving this cycle, so I’ve sent what supplies Lady Montilyet would let me spare to you. I hope you know my heart travels with them. Would that I could give more, Lady Montilyet assures me any more will be seen as a bias by the human nobility.

Gods, Thoriel, the humans! They are fickle and unforgiving as the frost in these forsaken mountains. Every day I spend here, I feel as though I’m falling deeper into their machinations. Will I be able to pull myself free when all this is done? I pray Mythal guides me back to you one day. If She listens to me now.

Does the clan think differently of me these days? The Nightingale doesn’t like to tell me, this much I know, but she must think it’s important to tell me. I know some of our family-clans speak my name in ire. Much as I loathe it, I am a figurehead for the humans’ Chantry. The Orlesian Chantry has officially made me an Exalted - whatever that means outside of their smothering beliefs and faith. I cannot breathe in these walls, surrounded by their pyres and martyrs.

They say I’m theirs’ now, an image of Andraste reborn. They even sent a letter, as though this parchment lays claim to me. If I die here, I will surely be stolen for their symbols of sacrifice. Will they make statues in my name? With my ears cut short and the staff ripped from my hands? Will they wash my devotion from my face? Will Falon’Din find me when they’ve scrubbed me clean to their standards?

I know He will. I hope He will. I know in my heart that I am still faithful, that I am still of the People. So why, Thoriel, does every step down this road feel like a step away from the Dalish? Why does it feel as though everything I do to stop this madness strips me of who I am?  I am so far from home and comfort and everything I know.

It is selfish of me, and yet I almost with this war would end. For better or for worse, I don’t care. I want to leave. I want to come home. I don’t want to be dancing to the humans’ songs, smiling at those unkind eyes, letting them lead me down and away from everything I am. I’m so afraid, Thoriel. What if I cannot return from here? What will be left of me when the humans are done?

I’m scared. I do not know what to do. I do not think the Creators can hear me here. I am alone.

Missive ends unfinished. Scrawled in the margins are notes in another hand, translating difficult phrases from Evhen to Qunlat. Ink discoloration indicates the notes were written prior to its attempted destruction.

32. dust motes :')

A year and a half after Highever fell, and her room is utterly, heartlessly untouched. Untouched, except for the dust.

It billows up from the carpet as the door swings shut, forming momentary spiral clouds as it drifts through the light. It has settled on the books, on the bed. On the dress she set aside the night before her life burned, a dress that would not accommodate the stockier, war-forged frame she has grown. A thin layer of grey motes, pristine as fresh snowfall, over her old life. 

There is a part of her that wants to stay. To sit for the rest of her life on the bloodstained carpet, clinging to the fragments of little lady Cousland, and letting the dust cover her. 

But she is her parents’ daughter, and a Grey Warden. So she stands for only a few minutes, then leaves, letting the dust blossom up in her wake and settle again behind her.

➹♞☺ for anyone?

Thanks a lot for asking! :D

Since you said anyone, I’ll do this for several characters (I'm in A Mood and it shows^^)

Germanotta Hawke

➹ - Varric’s nickname for them (even if they’ve never met) 

To be honest, I haven’t given that much thought, so I’ll have to make one up on the spot. (Besides - iirc, Hawke stays “Hawke” with Varric, right? :D)

It takes me forever to come up with fitting nicknames, but right here while I’m typing, “Silver” jumps to my mind.

 Anyway, I think he would, in fact, use a nickname that either plays with her personality or the contradiction between her tiny, thin and pale body and fierce protectiveness towards her friends and family. I definitely need to give this more thought!

 ♞ - a time they’ve felt powerful 

There were big times, like when she negotiated with the Arishok and realised that he truly respects her. But there were also small times, for example when she was learning to control and use her magic under Malcolm’s guidance and managed to light a candle with the flick of her hand and put it out with a snap of her fingers.

☺ - something they’re proud of 

Notta is usually very reserved when it comes to achievements that aren’t completely her own. For example with relationships, she learned from an early age that for a friendship or any other positive interaction it often needs two people to work together. If anything, she is proud of being able to call the people close to her friends, no matter how different they are in means of outlook on life, political stance and so on.

Same questions, different answers for my favourite son,

Ilargian Ibaiguren

 ➹ - Varric’s nickname for them (even if they’ve never met) 

Ironically, it’s “Smiley”. Which is because catching Ilargian genuinely smiling, is a very rare thing especially in the first few months of the events of Inquisition. Eventually, he warms up to the duty, responsibilities and people surrounding him so him smiling happens more often after a while.

 ♞ - a time they’ve felt powerful 

The moment in the Frostbacks when he realises that there are hundreds of people believing in him, a Dalish elf, and ready to give their lives for the cause he represents, even though he is very vocal about not sharing their, or anyone’s for that matter, religious beliefs. He is incredibly aware of the risks his position holds and how easily this could lead to his downfall, but at the moment where the people sing “The Dawn Will Come”, he feels overwhelmingly powerful because of his realisation.

 ☺ - something they’re proud of 

Ilargian takes pride in the small things in his life. One thing that is making him proud and happy every time are when the small children he gifts the toy figures he creates in his spare time - made from carefully needle-felted wool and colourful threads - to, laugh in delight and cuddle the fluffy miniature-hallas, mabari and druffalos to their hearts.

Hi! Would you accept oneshot-related songs for JLCR?

For sure!! And UnDeadwood, too :) 

[drinkingdeadpeopletea]

Roll a d20 twice for the NADDPOD questions. :D

:D I rolled my Vex and my Vax dice and got a 9 from Vex and a 15 from Vax

9. Favorite Episode?

ooh HARD. Episode 70 is an absolute masterpiece start-to-finish and provided some of my very favorite quotes and moments, but I think Episode 51 beats it for being such an absolute masterpiece in terms of being a mid-plot “everything changes” episode. The conversation with Alanis just completely recontextualizes everything that has happened up until this point and gives a new gravitas to the Band of Boobs and their role in the story. Honorable mentions to 43 (feeding time) for being my favorite combat episode and 57 (the Queen Ezra fight) for being the best “boss fight.” And 29. and 35. there’s just so many. 

15. P.O.D. or Kid Cudi?

sdfkjskj i don’t like either of them but I pick P.O.D. out of the two. absolutely WILD though that both “Youth of the Nation” and “Pursuit of Happiness” started out of joke references when both absolutely cut to the heart and themes of the show and can easily be placed on any thematic playlist. Very Cool

 let’s talk about naddpod!!!!

🖊 🖊 🖊 c:

🖊- Rinnariel got her forehead scar while defending herself from Tal Vashoth mercenaries.

🖊- She’s begun to lose her hearing in her left hear because of the taint, so if you talk to her you’ll most likely see her turn her head slightly so she can hear you better.

🖊- Her hair doesn’t take ages to turn completely white. At only 36 she doen’t have a single strand of red hair left anymore.

Thank you <3<3
