ellis cousland, hero of ferelden feat. verses in bg3, dnd, crit role, tes & other fantasy media. under heavy co. established march 2022, rebooted may 2024.

in the end, we all become stories.

a study in: the antithesis of a hero, losing yourself in legend, man vs myth, the unreliable narrator, teeth bared in defiance, fluctuating sense of self, nostalgia as a sickness, bleeding for those who don't want your blood, worn hands, trying to mitigate the uncontrollable, feeling unknown, surviving despite, love as an anchor to self, home as something you can share, building a new life from ash & gore.

anyways, i am terribly sorry for going mia across the board. i started a new job, i barely have any writing time & honestly... i have been spending most of my spare time on a hazbin hotel blog. i don't feel super comfortable throwing it in everyone's face because of the source media, but if you like this post i will give you a follow from where i've been writing <3

if you want to chat & DO NOT want to encounter any overlap w that fandom, as always, my discord is human_spine <3!!! all mutuals are welcome to chat w me there.

⭐️ (Ellis + Elysia uwu)

⭐️ i'm not sure where on the timeline elysia finds out about her siblings but i think ellis would make a huge point to try & find them with or for her. he clings to any family he has left, siblings especially & i think because of that it would be a support system he wants her to have. he is, of course, wary because of goldanna but would also want her to have something that is hers ( other than him, of course lmao ). he knows in a lot of ways she is emotionally closed off, that's how it's had to be, so in the future he's probably always looking for paths to help her open up whether it's to him or just for herself.

⭐️

⭐️okay so i lovvvee the idea of maybe ellis & rook having a history of finding abandoned ruins to explore. this applies to all points in their timeline, no matter where they end up it feels like the sort of mischief they would be up to. is it often dangerous? yes! absolutely! but it feels like the sort of thrill they would seek out together. i also love the idea of them trading pieces of the history of the places they explore. ellis is a high intelligence low wisdom character & he tends to pick up a lot of extra bits & pieces of information about the places they go... even if he doesn't treat that information w a whole lot of sense LMAO. i also think there is just something fun about the mental image of them sneaking off to explore a place that only they know, it feels like an expression of ' i want to spend time with you, lets get out of here ' in a way.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

⭐️ i think ellis & evren might make a habit of hunting together after the blight. ellis would have a lot to learn, but there is something awe inspiring about watching her in her element. he never gets as good as she is, but i do think their universe might be one of the only ones in which he learns to use a bow with any accuracy because of his desire to keep with up & support her. i also think he would make a point of learning the ways to process one of those kills to where she didn't have to get her hands dirty - which the acts of service thing is a huge part of his love lanuage also.

⭐️ so, i remember reading a headcanon you had once about evren growing up with a bow & arrow but shifting towards a duelist vibe when she becomes warden commander. building off of the last one, i could see ellis teaching her a handful of things when it comes to fighting up close & personal. it is vital to the way he fights. his instructor even before the blight was a duelist & taught him how to stay light on his feet, to target weaknesses & though it took him the whole blight to figure it out in practice he has a lot of theoretical knowledge on the style as well. i think they would figure out new applications together, but i love the idea of them trading pieces of one another's fighting style & thus becoming more rounded warriors because of that. i also think there is something very fun about ellis working w evren a skill when he's usually the one admiring her for hers??? it feels almost vulnerable to him in a way because of that.

⭐️maybe ellis is one of the only people who helps evren cut her hair. there is something intimate about the thought of them doing self care things for one another, watching out for their preferences, so on & so forth. i don't think that evren letting anyone near her head w something sharp would be taken lightly though. maybe the ritual started right before the landsmeet or something bcs they're cleaning themselves up to go in front of ferelden's nobles. maybe evren cuts her hair to begin with but ellis offers to help her shape it / make it even & then it continues on after that.

For each “⭐️” I get, I’ll write a headcanon about our muses.
