blackwall/lavellan fable animatic ✨️ (notes and interpretation under the cut <3)
tfw you're the only surviving member from your clan and also you have to save the world and everyone and their mama is asking you for elfroot and you also have a pathetic bf whom you love and is your only reprieve but then that is also taken away but given back just as quickly . ermmm tough day to be lavellan i fear..
ik the meaning of this song is completely different but when i heard these lyrics it activated a crazy neuron in my brain . IT HAD TO BE MADE !! there were a lot of other lines but i needed a smaller scope or i would die..
some notable lines and my interpretation of them in case you were curious:
"Fable and truth"
- smth about blackwall's double identity or lavellan's rise to inquisitor as the herald of andraste.. what is fable? what is truth? two people living lives that feel simultaneously right but also wrong..
"Hedges of prayer / 'Cause you believe doesn't mean that it's there"
- herald of andraste being revered/lavellan being a normal person... not a holy being like the world assumes, and longing for the life before it all changed
"It's so rare
It's so rare that somebody'd look out for you
Thoughts and prayers was all they'd do"
- everyone always needs something from the inquisitor...
- blackwall seeing them as a person... not on a pedestal
"If I implore you, could I be your lamb?"
- blackwall wishing to be the sacrificial lamb, to take away all of their burdens
"Understand, I look for the truth in the back of your hand, and I"
- he turns the palm over to face the mark away and kisses the back of her hand, indicating his affection for them as their own person rather than just the lifesaving thing (the anchor) that everyone worships.
i've literally never made an amv before but here we are . it only took me an insane amount of time and crazy blorbo-fueled passion.. i respect amv makers so bad. this was rly hard esp bc i was using procreate dreams 💔
i may or may have not ordered 1 teeny tiny fenris just so i could execute this audio (he will not be for sale 💔 normal sized fenris and everyone else will be though!!)
i finally received my keychains and stickers and prints so i will be opening shop soon ! canada post is still on strike though so 😭 SOON... SOON ...!!!!!!!
i was inspired by my matcha-induced crazy feral sessions (i am very sensitive to caffeine YAYY 😍) bc i would literally be bouncing off walls and chewing on wood and jumping 4 joy like.... i was Having Visions..
and so the matcha fairies were born..!!!!! they are lil guys who live in my cupboards and whisper in my ear "i know it's 11 pm... but you're soo strong diva u can take it i promise 😍 here i just made a cup Just For You because i love you so much and you're so very sexy"
MY CUTIEFUL LIARS.. love them tho <3 i modeled them off the lil chasen whisks!
anyway this was my first attempt at a riso print so i will be making a couple to test out soon YAYYYY <3 will post results if it ends up cute.. if not. i will be crashing out 😍 ALSO MWAH TO ALL THE KIND SOULS WHO HELPED ME MAKE A DECISION RE: RISO PROCESS. I LOVE YOUUU my darling angels lights of my life.
im rly saying anything rn BAHABAGSB idk if anyone reads captions.. but if u do. HIIII DIVA. . can i call you diva? love you... okay byee
