i am being so fucking serious when i say a lot of people need to free themselves and queer characters from the shackles of the idea of "good representation" you are stifling and limiting and shrinking queer characters down just so you can fit them into a "good representation" box and it's so. exhausting. queer characters are not a monolith. free yourselves. and them.

I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Por la sangre del Hacedor

Well doesn't it feel like a bloody long time since I had an update for this one 😅 Chapter 1 of "Por la sangre del Hacedor" is now up on AO3:

With Lucanis off to Tevinter on Caterina's command, Rook is left with an uncomfortable souvenir of their brief respite in Treviso. Covers late game quests 'For the Love of Treviso' and 'A Time to Kill' with spoilers.

CW: pregnancy scare, timeline may be interpreted as early pregnancy loss/miscarriage - if either of those elements bother you, please protect yourself first and foremost 🫶

3k, 1/4 chapters

Mature due to general adult themes/content

Bellara is in charge of cooking while Lucanis is away

Teia Cantori, the woman that you are

Read now on AO3

Snippet below the cut:

There was something odd about time in the Lighthouse. 

Worries that would normally sneak up at night could strike any time of the day, without knowing exactly when that time was. Rook didn't know the time. All she knew was that her monthly cycle was late. Well, not late. Not yet. There was a rhythm to these things: not a month or before, it had arrived earlier than expected when she was already armpit deep in gore. The fact it was a few days late this time around was nothing to worry about. Not even knowing that she and Lucanis and gone and done something that might, well, complicate matters. She'd allow herself to be concerned after a week. Maybe two…? Damn it. She chewed the side of her thumb anyway and shoved everything down further than the Oracle at Kal-Sharok.

A big shoot out to the wonderful and talented @mimi-maru for this beautiful piece featuring my dear Magnus de Riva and Lucanis Dellamorte. Even the rain can't stop my silly bois from having a good ol smooch on one of Treviso's rooftops...

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

[newskyillusion]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasn’t updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope you’re alright

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who wrote one life altering banger and nothing else: I hope your pillow is cool and your skin is clear and you find money in a forgotten jeans pocket

[jezebelgoldstone]

me, whispering to every single person on this post: please leave one singular comment saying literally any of that

"Baldur's Gate 3 is old news now lol that was three years ago"

Would you believe my favourite game of all time that I still regularly play is from 2009

[spellfireburst]

Seriously though, the way some people treat liking media as if it has an expiration date is so weird to me. And three years is still so recent in the grand scheme of things anyway, actually!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85382211/chapters/225518901 Hi everyone! We're back with our twenty-eighth piece for the Dragon Age Big Bang 2026!

Let's give it up for author Fiber_Punk and artist Merimeik; they did incredible work! Go check out their efforts over on Archive of Our Own, and we hope y'all enjoy!

Rating: General Summary: Marillia "Lia" Theirin is the imaginative child of Alistair and Anora Mac Tir. The heir to a kingdom, she spends more of her days daydreaming and pretending her life were a fairy tale than focusing on becoming a great future queen, much to her mother's disappointment. All of that changes when a mysterious black bird comes to her window seeking refuge. "Rook" is a strangely intelligent bird intent on finding the King of Ferelden and delivering an important message only meant for his ears. These two unlikely friends navigate the uncomfortable spaces between childhood and adulthood, as they discover that the parents they had idealized may be fallible humans after all.

[fiberpunk027]

It’s here!!! This year’s Dragon Age Big Bang is free and I am so pleased to be able to share it with you!

This was a departure for me, not only writing from the perspective of children, but writing something inspired by children’s stories and particularly Peter Pan. I hope you give it a shot if this is your cup of tea.

Ok u know that like. Period drama shirt. The white shirt men are always wearing in period dramas. The Colin Firth jumps into a lake shirt. Are you visualising this in your mind? Ok now imagine: a butch wearing the shirt. And she has tasteful cleavage. Do you see my vision.

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.
