Lyrium dagger.
Emmrich actually IS the suave and charismatic gentleman we've all been waiting for. Forget your Alistairs and your Cullens. Emmrich says dear and darling and has enough Big Dick Energy that you sense him coming from three rooms away. What's that shift in the air? Emmrich's natural necromantic aura touching the Fade? Well yes but also the sound of his monster cock swinging in his perfectly tailored trousers.
Emmrich talks to Rook like there's a love letter addressed to them specifically lodged in his voice box. He touches them like he paid money for the privilege. Emmrich uses his wealth to help others, he is NOT a person who desires power, and he expects the same of others. One time he looked at Rook and said, "The only good noble is a dead one," and even though Rook knew he was talking about the residents of the Necropolis, or perhaps because of that, it made Rook so wet they had to go sit down against a tree and bang their head a little to calm down.
Sometimes Rook shows up in Emmrich's room of an evening and without even missing a beat Emmrich says, "Come have a seat, darling," and Rook sits next to him only for him to tut and pat his knee. Immediately, Rook is perched there like he's Santa Claus.
"The things one can sense when truly in tune with the fade are inspiring," Emmrich says, and other such nonsense as his touch finds the path of least resistance to Rook's skin without hesitation. His fingers are cool and kind and they trace up the side of Rook's ribs like they might slot perfectly between them, like Rook was built as a home for his hand.
"You're killing me," Rook says, because he is, because Rook could actually choke and die from how badly they want to feel Emmrich's mustache on their thighs.
"Yes, but only a little death," Emmrich says. He smiles and his bangles jingle merrily away as he plays with Rook's chest. "Every time I touch your body, I'm already longing for the moment I'll touch it again."
"Guh," says Rook. "Hrng. Hunh."
"I quite agree. I find that words fail me when it comes to...how you make me feel, dearest." This is what Emmrich says, but fails utterly to demonstrate as he leans in and delicately bites Rook's earlobe, whispering seventeen of the twenty filthiest things Rook has ever heard. Things like I'll eat you like a cake, though you're more delicious and the Fade sings your name when I'm in you and--
"If I have to hear ONE MORE THING about that necromancer's cock," seethes Solas, who did NOT know that he was signing up for nightly pornographic lullabies when he decided to kick it in the back of Rook's head. This is the fourth time he's said that this week. He will hear many, many more things about that necromancer's cock.
"YES EMMRICH," echoes through the Fade, "Gods YES, harder! Give it to me!"
The spirits of the Fade, who like Emmrich a whole helluva lot more than they like Solas right now, twirl and giggle.
This made me laugh so hard.
Current line-up of Rooks:
Seras - who exists and has existed as a de Riva Crow mage...
...and an Ingellvar Mourn Watch mage.
Alariel, whose first run was as a Shadow Dragon mage, and I'm now replaying as a Veil Jumper mage.
Tarril de Riva - yes, another Crow mage, spot a pattern? :D - who is the Rook I currently stream on Twitch most days. Tarril is actually based on one of my oldest OCs - a character who is 40 years old, from a story I started writing when I was in school. I carried on writing that story over the next 5 years, all through my teens, then rewriting it through my 20s, then revisited it in my 30s. Now Tarril exists as a character in Veilguard.
I have a version of Anders I'm playing as a Grey Warden mage.
And this is my latest: Gio de Riva, based on a character who is also 40 years old and was another character in the same story as Tarril.
Alariel and Neve talk, just before confronting the gods at Tearstone Isle.
Necromancy in the chantry.
Neve romance: Alariel and Neve kiss.
Continuing Alariel's playthrough, he's accompanied Harding to visit Stalgard and Durra to share the Eternal Hymn.
He's also accompanied Taash to Rivain where they discovered her mother gone. There's about to be a reckoning for the Dragon King.
And he helped Bellara with the funeral of Cyrian, her brother.
My streamed DA: Veilguard game with Serastryen has, sadly, finally come to an end. It's been a wonderful ride, streamed daily - usually for about 4 hours at a time; and whilst I usually only had about 1 or 2 watchers at most, I enjoyed playing it.
I'm thoroughly loving Veilguard - as can be evinced by the fact I've racked up 590 hours of gameplay on it now. This was my 3rd complete playthrough, and it's certainly not my last. I'm just about to start the final act on Alariel, my nonbinary whitehaired Shadow Dragon elf who's romancing Neve as well.
He's just had a meeting with the Inquisitor, at which she told him Morrigan has told her he's dating Neve, and she wants to know all about it.
But I'm loath to leave Seras behind; after all, he's the embodiment of a character who is very dear to me - Serastryen Zevhranas, my WoW darkfallen elf:
And so... of course, I had to recreate him for yet another playthrough...
This time with his proper red eyes, as a Mourn Watch mage.
This game won't be streamed; I haven't decided what I'm going to stream next. Come to that, I haven't decided who Seras is going to romance either.
you can tell a lot about someone based on their phone background. it shows what’s most important to them
Reblog this and put what your phone background in the tags
Reblogging to post mine, because it's my own art. This is the original Serastryen.
With everyone sharing their Spotify wrapped and also rightfully sharing how little artists get paid by Spotify, I wanted to mention that Bandcamp Friday is tomorrow. If you don’t already know, Bandcamp Friday is held on the first Friday of every month and is when Bandcamp waives their revenue share so every purchase goes directly to the artist.
Fans have paid $192 million directly to artists on Bandcamp this year alone, so if you’re looking to support musicians (most of which are independent or are signed to an independent label on Bandcamp) then go find out if they have a Bandcamp page. You can even gift purchases to friends and family!
For the curious, I'm on Bandcamp, as it happens - in fact I have 7 albums and a single on Bandcamp.
I'll admit it - I've rather fallen in love with Seras. He's the DA version of a WoW RP character, and he's swiftly grown on me and taken shape.
"Antiva belongs to the Crows, and Treviso will be free!"
Origins: the world is ending and you and your one remaining coworker are the only option left to save it.
II: the unavoidable tragedy of a queer friend group/polycule trying and failing to save their fucked up city
Inquisition: you went to a conference and accidentally ended up in charge of saving the entire world (again) with a team of colleagues who are (mostly) professionals and outstanding in their fields.

Veilguard:
Rook: hey, I suffered from “sudden field promotion” after “fucking everything up worse than it already was.” I’m putting a team together to kill at least one, maybe three, Gods
Seven of the most unwell people in Thedas: say no more, I’m in
The character I actually romanced Harding on is Serastryen, my Antivan Crow mage Rook that I'm playing in the playthrough I'm currently streaming daily on Twitch (generally from about 11am GMT, same username). If you romance Harding, then at the end of Heart of a Titan, if you opt to persuade her to embrace her compassion, Rook will hug her and the effect on him stops his heart - he actually dies in her arms, and she has to restart his heart with her magic. You can see the moment in the video when his body jerks as he returns to life and gasps for breath.
Rook actually dies for love of Harding.
I clicked on the romance option with Harding just to see what would happen at this point - and the results are, tbh, what I could have predicted based on what we know from lore on how mages react to contact with lyrium. (Probably just as well for all those Fenris fics out there that our favourite glowy lyrium elf doesn't have any lyrium touching his lips or tongue....) I don't know if a non-mage would faint as well - I'm guessing a massive dose of lyrium would probably mean yes, it's just that a mage is extra susceptible.
It doesn't explain how the characters in Veilguard can just casually hang out next to all those massive raw lyrium crystals - much less how Rook can be in constant proximity to Solas' dagger, of course....
Solas, outnumbered seven to one, overpowered by a lot more than that, betrayed by his best friend Mythal who bound him to her service and coerced him into leaving the Fade and coerced him into making a weapon that would make an entire people tranquil to stop the war she started AND ignored him when he said it would create *checks notes* a blight and made him do it anyway. Solas, facing seven blighted wannabe gods who turned on his best abusive friend Mythal when she finally stood up to them after CENTURIES of him begging her to do just that and starting a rebellion to free all their multitudes of slaves: *creates the veil, imprisons the blight and the Evanuris, and preserves all life in Thedas* World: FUCK THE DREAD WOLF, GOD OF TREACHERY AND LIES *worships the Evanuris and their dragon thralls*
Solas: zzzzzzzzzz (knocked out cold from saving the world for LITERALLY SEVERAL MILLENNIA MORE)
Tevinter: *razes what's left of Elvhenan, steals all their magic, enslaves the elven people for entire length of Solas's world-saving-induced coma*
Also Tevinter: *breaks into the fucking black city and brings out the blight*
Also also Tevinter: *uses so much blood magic that the veil ends up in tatters*
The Blight: >:)
World: fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck *throws everything they can at the blight, including--*checks notes again*--the blight
OH MY GOD BEST SUMMARY EVER
This is hilarious and a thing of beauty. :D
My nonbinary Shadow Dragon Mage Rook, Alariel.
