Hey, I don't mean to bother you so feel free to ignore this but I think tumberl ate my ask. All I really had to say is that your art is gorgeous and I'm so grateful you share your creations with us and your latest Victra piece is slaying me in the best way possible ♥

Hello again! I definitely responded to it a couple days ago, but I think something went wrong? Thank you again, and stay awesome ❤️!

Distraction Mode Activated: Please tell me 5 random facts about Aili ♥

Huzzah! Thank you! ToT

1) The reason why Aili is an only child in DA AUs is because she developed magic. Ina’then has a brother who was born a mage and was transferred to another clan, and it kind of made her entire family fall apart. She doesn’t have an issue with magic, per se, but she was always afraid that if she had a second child who also turned out to have magic, it would mean that she’d have to choose which child to keep with her and which one to send away. Adhamh couldn’t hate someone if he tried, but he was an orphan raised in the Chantry, so he’s got his own fears about what happens to mage babies, and as much as he would love to have more kids, he understands and respects why his wife just wanted to focus on the one they already have. (they’ve never sat down and explained any of this to Aili directly, of course, but she has a vague idea about it) 

2) When she was about seven, her best friend, Daewyn, talked her into trying to use her magic to get honey from a beehive. Something to do with using fire to smoke the bees out long enough to get their treat. Needless to say, it…did not end well. There was a lot of singed hair and bee stings at the end of that day. ^_^;

3) She’s more of a dog person at heart, but she will also absolutely go out of her way to say hello to every cat she sees on the street. Or anywhere. If it’s small and fluffy then it is shaped like a friend. Doesn’t quite understand Leliana’s strange obsession with nugs, though. They have hand-feet and judgmental stares. 

4) Though she’s a disaster when it comes to baking, she’s actually pretty good with soups and stews. She’s used to making comfort food. If it’s cold and dreary outside, she’s got a recipe somewhere to make you feel sleepy and cozy. If you have a cold, she’s got something that’s great for your sore throat. 

5) Ummm… She thinks Solas has a cute nose. Great thighs, excellent bum, but also Grade A adorable snoot. She’s gonna boop it. He can’t stop her. XD

@eaven129 I got your message! :D But I think tumblr ate my reply :x Anyway I’m really glad you like it!

You are such a ray of sunshine!!! Stay awesome ♥

Ha thanks, though I feel like I’ve done nothing but complain on here lately! I appreciate it <3

[1] Hey, I stumbled over an instragram post from you from the DA medley like.. months ago and just now found the finished piece and I am sooo in love with it its perfect you did a really good job and you can see how much work, love and dedication you put into this. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of art with us. DA is a video game that makes me feel at home and by listening to your medley i just get that feeling all over again. I've been listening non stop :D

[2] I'm trying to find out the names of all the 14 songs you used but I cant get all of them. If you know them all by name, could you tell me maybe? I would love to know, just out of curiosity and well, I'm really impressed how nicely you merged them all together. It sounds super smooth and just... thank you for this gift <3

Christ on a bicycle I don’t even know how to reply to this! Thank you?? So much??? In all the time I’ve been developing this I’ve only ever played it for my friends and family, none of which have ever played Dragon Age, so I could only hope that at some point there’d be people listening who’d appreciate all the details I put in. You have no idea how much that means to me, it makes all the hours I spent more than worthwile. <3

Anyway, here’s the list of all the songs I’ve used (some of the names may not be exactly right, and some themes have multiple names through multiple variations, but I hope it helps):

- Origins title theme- DA2 title theme- Inquisition title theme (the Dawn Will Come)- Mage Pride- Once We Were- Rogue Heart- I Am The One- I’m Not Calling You A Liar- Leliana’s Song- Something I wrote down as ‘Darkspawn’ which I now realise might just be part of the Origins main theme (woops so technically it may only be 13 then)- a tiiiiny snippet of ‘Calling the Inquisition’ (just the last melody)- We Fight On / Trespasser theme- “Exploration Theme” (this one doesn’t appear on the official Inquisition OST but it’s the theme playing when you capture a keep)- Love Scene (from Origins)

I spent five minutes on youtube checking the OSTs and dangit I’ve already found at least three other songs I should have added! Ahhh!

Thank you so much for your lovely message. You’ve made my very stressful day into something marginally happier. :)

I LOVE that you are such a positive person. Idk everytime you show up on my dash i just isntantly hope you have a nice day and you are just lighten me up everytime i see you on my dash. thanks for existing <3

Oh man you’re a sweetheart. I’m glad I get to lighten up your day sometimes just by putting out arguably ridiculous content. For the record I hope you have a nice day every day too, that’s why I post shit to begin with.

So thank you for existing. Stay awesome <3

(1) Hello :) So I saw so many positivity post on your blog and I wanna join just (idk if there was a post starting it) because you are an awesome person and you deserve it. So you are one of the nicest people I met on here. You are such a positive, encouraging and wonderful human being. You were one of the first people welcoming me in the Mass Effect fandom and I'm entirely grateful for that.

Orpheus is sleeping off another catnip-related mishap, but I will definitely hug him soon. <3

Thank you so much for loving Eliza (she is a mess, but she is my best mess, and will always be first in my heart, and it makes me so happy that you love her too) -- and for drawing her and June together when I was down (that is still one of the loveliest things, please know that). You are so generous with your time and talents, and you create such vivid, fascinating characters that just come right off the page, thanks to your art. 

June is one of my absolute favorite Shepards, but she’s that great because of you, and all your dreaming and hard work. You are so very great, and sweet, and I am sending you so many hugs. <3 Thank you for making the fandom a lovely place, with all you do!

For the fanfic writers ask: 1. and 24. and 25. and 29. and 32. (Ghost) and 41. (Ghost) and 47. and 49. Those are a lot I'm sorry I hope thats ok. I hope you have a great day/night :)

I already answered 1 and 47. :D 

24. favorite scene you’ve ever written

This changes on my mood, but at the moment, it’s April confronting the Boar (which is currently possessing the dead body of April’s double – it’s uh complicated) at the end of Part Eighteen of Gates of Summer: 

April rolls to her knees, and half-walks, half-crawls to the spear. It burns her hand when she grips it, but what’s a little more pain? She can’t stand, but that’s fine; she’ll brace the shaft against the floor.

You have one chance, she tells herself, and turns around.

O'Neil stares at her, the ruined face twisted by pure, childish bewilderment. “You are not the Champion,” it says, a tooth rattling loose to the floor. “You cannot use the spear, you filthy stinking fool, you are a meal, not a warrior, you are —”

“I’m holding the damn spear.” Her peripheral vision’s going grey, and she’s so damn cold, she’s got a minute left, maybe less. When she coughs, she spits a mouthful of blood to the side. "So come get me.”

April spends so much time in-canon being fought over and controlled and hunted, and it’s so satisfying to watch her stand up to the enemy that’s spent the whole story manipulating her and Donnie. For me, at least! 

25. favorite line you’ve ever written

Oh, no contest, it’s the last line of this GaVG drabble.

But then Raph stomps in, covered in leaves and dirt, swearing about puncture wounds and dragging something behind him, and Leo is too drunk to do anything except watch as Raph drops an entire uprooted rose bush on Casey’s balls.

@thievinghippo will attest to how hard I was cackling as I wrote it.
