A new chapter! School and work got crazy so it took me a minute to do this

Viviana Ingellvar. Might change some of this up later, idk, but I did it. In spite of the horrors, I painted.
My cross to bear is finding 19th century mutton chops hot
@valkyriesix you have journeyed with me long
I don’t enjoy this journey
Vorgoth's job
Just thinking about Vorgoth getting assigned to babysitting duty with a toddler Rook Ingellvar, having to balance that baby on the nonexistent hip, while punishing these transgressions while Toddler Ingellvar claps in amusement
New fanfic chapter! Covers A Slow Poison, which somehow leads to a “only one bed” situation.

You know how best friends usually have wildly different preferences in who they’re attracted to?
Me and @bonesaremoney are currently having one of our most extreme examples of this. I am fighting for my life DAILY while she waxes poetic about

Let it be known that my own alleged best pal my own alleged buddy is still roasting me
I am 🥰

“I could stab them for you, on the house.”
accidentally brought the two of them along to talk to the First Warden, can't stop laughing
These two haven’t even had coffee yet, and he is already smiling at his weird cat lady colleague
Y’all liked my “actually Emmrich is a good bf choice” analysis so here’s one for mi vida Luca
Yk how people say cats liking you is the perfect test of understanding consent? That’s what Lucanis is.
Man was literally in the trenches, had the threat of his blood taken hostage over his head AND a Spirit implanted into him. Of COURSE he would take a hot minute to trust anyone.
I believe The Rooks who truly romance him must have a special archetype of being outrageously patient but also very communicative.
As one of the best Crows, Lucanis is used to making clever assumptions. It’s how he knows the team disturbingly well. Because of this, he knows people don’t trust him, shouldn’t trust him.
And to a certain extent, he would be right. Most people would be offended that he seems to flirt but keep turning away (see the almost-kiss scene).
But we all know Rook isn’t most people. Rook can be irrationally unhinged but Lucanis’s Rook can also see through and accept Lucanis’ need for space.
The whole first half of the “romance”, Lucanis tries to flirt while also second-guessing his actions and Rook’s reactions. He overanalyses and smacks his own head when he reviews his self-rejections and realises Rook IS responding positively.
And every time, he comes closer to believing Rook does reciprocate his flirting. It comes out in his expressions, it comes out in his speech.
Making Rook’s favourite dessert was the first time he genuinely tested his theory that maybe Rook does like him. But at the same time, he makes enough dessert for the whole team so if Rook does reject him, he can settle for having AT LEAST made something nice for the whole team.
When Rook spells out that they see Lucanis making their favourite dessert, Lucanis still tries to wave it off as they also made it for the team. But then Rook specifically mentions that obviously they know Lucanis would make enough for the team, but he made Rook’s favourite dessert.
Remember how he is still struggling to accept Spite himself? Rook and Emmrich are the few people who accept Spite as a part of Lucanis, that Spite exposes the rawest emotions of Lucanis. Although Emmrich does see Spite as its own being like Taash, Emmrich treats Spite like its own independent person.
Meanwhile, Taash treats Spite like a petulant child that needs taming, Harding and Neve are confusedly anxious, and Davrin is only half-joking about killing Lucanis if Spite takes over. (Expanding on the Neve-Lucanis romance later)
The coffee date where we “confirm” the romance? Rook sees Lucanis serving Spite his own cup and is pretty much like “yk what? hell yea”. Rook has always treated Spite as a part of Lucanis, and has partially made Lucanis Lucanis. I like to think the Lucanis who accepts Spite is the best one.
This is also what sets Rookanis separately from Neve/Lucanis. In the love scene, Spite brings out the wings. It’s a part of the love scene. Rook reassures Lucanis later that if Spite does come out when Lucanis is sleeping, Rook is more than comfortable entertaining/socialising with Spite.
In contrast, Lucanis sends Spite away if he and Neve spend spicy time together.
Yes, Rook sees Lucanis as a talented rich kid who deserves his Demon of Vyrantium reputation. But Lucanis’ Rook also sees him as the orphaned grandson of the most powerful Talon who feels like he had to perfectly embody the Dellamorte name at all times. Lucanis’ Rook has seen how Spite takes over, Spite’s powers especially nearly killing Illario, and still goes “that’s my man 🙂↕️”
One Emmrich-Lucanis banter moment has him confessing he has NO IDEA what Rook sees in him. Him - First Talon, Dellamorte’s favourite grandson, rich enough to have an in-house opera house, with all the charm and fitness of being the Demon of Vyrantium - confused that Rook allows him to feel like he is losing hours of his life because he wants to spend even more time with them? 😭
Unlike most romances (most similarly FenrisHawke and EmmrichRook), Rookanis has to work through the male LI’s traumas/flaws because that sets the foundation for the romance to bloom. The male LI’s main flaw (Emmrich’s age, Fenris’s lyrium-related slave past, Lucanis’ kidnapping + Dellamorte name + Spite) has made them believe it would be near-impossible to find someone who loves them at that point. But Hawke/Rook does anyway.
fandom about some mf (is a man): you might dislike this character but you have to admit he's very interesting. even if you don't like him, he's a very well-written character. he's very complex. so even if you dislike him you should maybe reconsider that. because he's complex and interesting. and i think deep down he cares so much. there's a lot to analyze about his decisions, which he was force to make due to the terrible position he was put in. and if you don't like him you don't really understand the show tbh.
same fandom about a woman who has done comparable or much tamer things, with a much smaller fraction of fans: this may be a hot take but no one else has said this and i have to get this off my chest. some of you might like her but she is a TERRIBLE PERSON! she didn't have to do any of those things she did. she put herself into a bad situation, inconveniencing everyone around her and showing no remorse for it whatsoever. you may like her but i just don't get it!! if you like her or defend any of her actions, you are probably a real life abuser and hate women. so even if you do like her, maybe think about that. you can like her but you have to admit her flaws. otherwise you are encouraging women in real life to murder others and commit crimes, which is ignorant and wrong. her sympathetic scenes are not even canon because they're so manipulative, performative, and trite. such a waste of screen time very obviously trying to get us to feel bad for a MONSTER! she clearly didn't actually mean any of the good things she's done. deep down she is just a rotten human being with no motive but to make other people's lives miserable. i'm sorry but that's the truth.
so i never drew his face before making this so excuse him looking different in every frame
the average experience of a post on tumblr
I low-key hate adding to the Lucanis discourse at this point but like-
At some point in my insomniac scrolling last night or this morning I passed a post saying something like “I'm dissatisfied with Lucanis' romance and tired of pretending I'm not” and I really need y'all to consider that maybe you don't actually like him. You like an idea of him.
Way before the demi reveal, Mary was dropping lore hints of him being just a weird little guy.
I mean, there are other companions you could romance, heaven forfend you should consider Davrin maybe, but I just think it's not the romance that's bothering you, because it makes sense for who Lucanis is and what he's been through in his recent history.
Honestly. I love my weird little knitting man. My romance novel fan. He’s such a sweet little workaholic who shows love with ACTS OF SERVICE and it’s soooo cute. But also he changes sooooo much with the environment. Like the way Lucanis looks at Rook if you flirted with him??? It’s ADORABLE. He smiles more. He’s like lol I don’t know what I’m doing, this is my first time.
Sweet little crow man. I would never break pasta in front of you because I know it would give you a conniption.
im at peace🧎🏻♀️
I would absolutely watch every season of CSI: Tevinter where these two solve crimes ripped from the Paper headlines.
