Honestly I feel like I could see you writing sypha belnades from Castlevania!!

↬ what character do you think i could write?

knowing that i actually almost made the decision to write sypha makes this better. but honestly! honored that you thought of her!

[felledarrow]

G’raha Tia for the character writing meme but like SPECIFICALLY the crystal exarch, him and Fel shake hands to me

@magusanima / send me a character to rp. accepting.

I love g’raha tia so much, especially as the crystal exarch. he’s mysterious and the absolute Worst liar when you immediately call out his identity after meeting.

funnily enough, the way he’s written is very similar to the way I portrayed oot link when I wrote him. it’s the melancholy and resignation.

How did your Warden respond to Alistair’s dislike of Loghain? Did they share Alistair’s sentiments or disagree? (Ik we discussed this in passing BUT TALK) 🎤

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ WARDEN + COMPANION QUESTIONS. accepting. 

WEEPS. YOU KNOW I LOVE THIS QUESTION. 

alistair's opinion on loghain stays the same throughout. cailan's does not.

loghain and celia mac tir were, for all intents and purposes, a second set of parents to cailan. but he was especially close with loghain, and because of that, this man is flip flopping, whiplashing between a dreaded pit of betrayal in his stomach so intense he hardly eats (as long as his tainted appetite will let him, at least) to sobering understanding and back again. 

cailan cycles like the day and night, and his disposition towards loghain is likely to be something difficult to keep up with. i would wager that alistair and cailan butt heads prior to the landsmeet because of this — alistair, unable to understand why cailan does not harbor any real anger or need for retribution, and cailan, unable to understand how alistair does not see how agonizing this is for him. a villain to one, family to the other. and it is such an odd feeling, an argument between the two of them as brothers, because they never really got this far before, did they? sad that the topic of loghain's character is the catalyst that spurs it on in the first place. 

the landsmeet is especially difficult. despite everything he learns along the way (sadly, including the clearance for slavers to settle in to the denerim elven community), cailan would still be staunchly against the potential of loghain's execution and would strongly suggest exile instead.

@magusanima continued from this:

Zevran's golden eyes twitched ever so slightly, the minutest flicker taking them to Behni's hands, and in less than a second, back to his eyes again as if they'd never left. His gaze was steady and solid, almost uncharacteristically so, as if he knew exactly what was going on in the mage's head in that moment.

A ridiculous notion of course, Zevran wasn't a mind reader. Even so, the rogue did have a knack for knowing things he shouldn't. Or at least seeming like he did, anyway.

"I do not doubt your... energy and vigor, Warden," he offered, arching a brow, "I am only advocating an exercise in caution. Battle is not only a test of might, but of restraint as well, is it not?" Zevran glanced down as he set about getting the blades in his hands into their places on his belt, and perhaps giving Behni a chance to collect himself before he answered.

Zevran didn't know what exactly had Behni in such a... tizzy. Something to do with their time at the Circle undoubtedly, in consideration of the timing. But Behni had offered no insights to what he truly thought of that whole... debacle, and Zevran knew better, in this instance at least, than to push. The Warden would open up if and when he wanted to.

"Where would we be, if our fearless leader were to faint from exhausting himself?" He added.

What sort of terms of endearment do Alistair and Fenris favor? Do they have specific ones for specific people? What rolls off the tongue for those they fancy?

╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ unprompted character questions — always accepting!

for alistair, he lean into the classics: (my) love, darling, etc. rosie gets the extra special "lovie" because that's his kid. 🗣️ however across the board, even if he is in a relationship and he doesn't really engage in terms of endearments, he uses affectionate language and he tends to lay it on thick. alistair is, in general, very affectionate both verbally and physically.

fenris rarely uses terms of endearment, if at all. most of his verbal affection lies in his, uh, cryptic declarations of devotion that he tends to utilize. terms of endearment are about as rare, i think, as he says the words i love you. however, i do think that if he were to pick one up, it would be something in tevene. it isn't widely spoken in tevinter but it is often used for terms of endearment (i.e. amatus, vita mea, etc.), so he would have heard them often and known at least a few off the top of his head.

"Dirtharama." The admonition slips loose unthinkingly, spoken as cleanly as her teachers once had. May you learn. Bow lays to the side, abandoned for as long as it would take to set the mage's leg. Still, it was good — that he would not need to be carried back to where Wynne was for healing magic, by his own admission.

She hears the rumbling of rock, an unmistakable grind that would be Shale lumbering through the now-quiet battleground. It would not be a threat, and the tension to Sharrah's shoulders ease just slightly, calloused fingers pressing against Behni's bare skin. That his bone had not fractured through the skin was another good sign.

— She remembers one hunter, just a few years older than she, taking a spill through a part of the forest and meeting the bottom with a leg that had seemed to have picked up another joint in it, bone sticking out of flesh and weeping blood like one pours water from a bowl. He had needed the help of Keeper Marethari and one of Sabrae's mage-healers to set the bone, and he still had not walked right upon it for another year after. —

"You're not bleeding. It's— that's good."

He catches her by surprise with the term of endearment. Pauses for a moment, eyes seeking anywhere but his ( biting down on the inside of her mouth, willing her vision to remain clear ). Kin.

( at times he still seems to strike her an adolescent, having not yet received vallaslin, despite knowing better, despite knowing that they were not of dalish life the way she was. and times like this reminded it is not so simple )

"Perhaps you'd consider not stepping directly into the fray next time... lethallen."

        “i'm afraid that is quite the understatement, just now...” awake now but still sore from the injuries inflicted on her in the tower of ishal, elspeth is finding it hard to see any bright side to all this. and she's usually so good at that. “i don't know that i...well. this isn't anything i'm equipped to handle.” she wraps both arms around herself, eyes flickering between behni and alistair. “i mean...do you really think we can do this?”
