"Mom?"

12yo Anders being taken to the Circle for the first time. I just have a lot of thoughts about young Anders.

I have no idea if we have any canon art of Ander's pillow because when I was looking for it I... well, I did find Pillow Anders, just not Ander's pillow.

Hey! Rook Codex Writing Prompts ask: 13 ,16 and 25?

Omg Hi!! Tysm for asking :3 Sorry for the delay {IRL has been BUSY this week} {Answers Under the Cut} So, I already answered 13 & 16 which is posted Here !

25 is such an interesting idea, I know Az's younger backstory but haven't had a chance to write it yet so this was a super awesome chance to start that process with some of Az's journal entries! {1 is from when he was 12 and the 2nd from when he's 15} 25. Notes taken by Rook when they were young/in training!

12, Cassus, 9.38 Dragon: So, I'm not allowed to mix the potions together for a while again. We'd got off to a good start this time too, mum was telling me all about the herbs we needed and why. She said that she thought if she explained it to me slower that I would start to get it, and I did!!! But when everything was mixed she told me to get another potion off the shelf so we could mix them because, I guess doing that makes this one stronger, or something? Anyway, I did, but then the pot boiled over and the stuff all over the floor, and a bit on her I think. She said I picked the wrong bottle but I was SURE I got the right one! Now I'm not allowed to mix potions for a fortnight! I'm only allowed to help her with gardening stuff again. It's not fair! I know I got it right, I'm gonna check tonight when shes asleep so I can prove it to her. Update: Why do all the potions have such weird spelt names? It's not my fault that two of them have like all the same letters! 1, Parvulis, 9.41 Dragon: Today was my first day at the circle, it's… weird. Dad said it would probably not be nice here y'know with the horns n stuff - but I thought he was probably just being dramatic like he always is. I think he might have been right though… I've tried saying hello, like mum said I should but… everyone just stares at me. I'm around other people for the first time in like ever? But, it still feels as lonely as my bedroom, but like worse? At least my bedroom was my own, and I didn't have every Altus asshole acting like I wasn't welcome here. I'm a mage just like them! I'm Tevene! So why does it feel like this is about to be the longest 6 months of my life? At least I get to go home for a week in Pluitanis I guess. ~ Tysm again for the question! Sorry it took so long, it's been and continues to be a busy week IRL for me so I've not been able to post half as much as I wanted to this week!! D:

If anyone wants to find out more about Az please feel free to ask me anything from this ask game!

CONFESSION:

I liked Niall and found him to be a far more sympathetic character than Jowan and I was sad that he died.  To me, it  always seemed Jowan resented Surana/Amell. I don't hate Jowan and I often wondered if it would have been different had he gotten the chance like Minaeve  and had been encouraged to to study and engage in research in a subject he enjoyed but the way he treated Surana/Amell I get the impression he probably was not an overall good student in anything. So while I don't  hate Jowan, I  just do not have much sympathy.  Niall had his flaws too but he tried to help save the Circle at the end.

'Look at the lake! Isn't it beautiful? ... The moon is out.' The templar attempted to fill the void. Solona sat in silence. The moon was pretty, sure, but in front of it towered the black prison she was being taken into. She knew she was pretty, but did not wish to see it.

CONFESSION:

I noticed in my recent playthrough of Origins, when you suggest going to the Circle for help for Connor, Teagan will comment that the Tower is "about a day's journey across the lake" so now I headcanon they're willing to risk it because they lend you a boat. That way, the trip there and back is a couple of days at most rather than the weeks it would take following the road around the lake.

CONFESSION:  

Even if you side with the mages, and no matter which Divine you select, there ends up being both a Circle of Magi and a College of Enchanters in the end -- and I totally get why some people are annoyed. But I wish that they'd remember, one, that we need a stable worldstate to continue playing, and two, that no matter what, it sounds like the Circles are no longer internment camps, and mages may even be able to simply choose to join the College. That's real progress.

CONFESSION: 

I have always wanted to know if some of the Mages of the circle would feel if they enjoyed their time in the circle. Personally, I feel if some place helps you to learn more about this mysterious new power you’re given, it would be okay. At the cost of not having many freedoms. Don’t get me wrong apostates are still super powerful mages, they just tend to lean more into the blood magic side… Sometimes.
