an alternative to the Vallaslin scene:

I think I'd prefer if Solas attempted to remove Lavellan's vallaslin and finds that he simply is unable to.

Because the Dalish are different, they're not slaves, and removing a Dalish's rite of adulthood is not granting them their freedom. Maybe it's because the ink formula changed over the eons. Maybe the rite is just inherently different.

This not only narratively validifies the Dalish in who they are now, but also drives home the point to Solas that the world is completely different. He's not freeing Lavellan, he's shackling himself.

#oh very good. yes

HADES God/dess Style Commissions

I am opening TWO slots of my God/dess style commissions in addition to my BW simple shading commissions. My dog has some expenses coming up and so do I 🥲

This is my style inspired by the art of the Hades video game.

Slots filled first-come through Ko-Fi orders (paid up front)

Dragon Age OCs, Dragon Age canon characters, or TTRPG OCs

NO Hades Video Game screenshots will be used*

Please prepare:

face casts, previous commissions, and/or game screenshots of the character (the more angles, the better!)

references for outfits, appearance, hair, items, etc

preferred color palettes

types of expressions/mood :3

*If you want a background like the above examples,I can process screenshots from the some games in this style. I just need one that’s high enough resolution and big enough. If you want to make your own, I also send the transparent files; the last example's gray mountainous background was made by the OC's owner, @ alienturnip.

Note: I do not draw anthro/furry art, or mechs, at this time. I'm happy to do many other fantasy races!

Send me an email [email protected] or DM me if you have any questions.

Forget unrequited love, you know what's really tragic? requited love but they're doomed by the narrative. It doesn't matter that they love each other, it doesn't matter how hard they love, they were doomed from the start.

Divine Justinia V ruled for just a little over 6 years. One of the shortest known reign for a divine in Chantry history.

I would like to note that due to the nature of BioWare and the awareness of their timeline, travel times, and storylines, not all the events in the same year have a clear order of which came first.

Here is the general timeline of what occurred since her coronation to her death:

9:34 Dragon

Ascends as Divine of the Orlesian Chantry, formerly known as Revered Mother Dorthea.

Rejects Ser Otto Alrik's request for the Tranquil Solution in Kirkwall.

9:35 Dragon

Justinia makes a pilgrimage to the Temple of Sacred Ashes, passing through Haven. She announces that Haven shall be restored and rededicated to the service of Andraste.

Asks Pharamond to look into the nature of Tranquility, to discover if there is a way to "restrict magic without neutralizing the mind." She does so without the knowledge of Lord Seeker Lambert.

9:37 Dragon

Sends Leliana to Kirkwall to gather information on the threats occurring in Kirkwall, believing it to be from outside groups.

Divine Justinia tells Elthina to leave Kirkwall as it is no longer safe. Elthina declines.

Objects to Lady Seeker Nicoline's appointment of Seeker Lambert, citing that she found him too conservative during her interview with him.

9:38 Dragon

Published the Abridged Edition of the Chant of Light on 12 Harvestmere 9:38. The focus was to bring back the beauty of the original dialects and languages of the canticles.*

9:40 Dragon

(These following events are in order of how they happened as they take place over the course of the novel Asunder. Except for the where Justinia sends Cassandra and Leliana to Kirkwall. That is unknown if it is before or after Asunder)

Justinia sends Leliana to the University of Orlais to speak with Empress Celene about the state of instability in the empire's politics. During this meeting, Leliana makes a deal with Celene on Justinia's behalf; Justinia deals with the instability of the mages and templars in the wake of Anders attack on Kirkwall, while Celene deals with the unrest with Halamshiral/Orlais elves.

As part of the deal with Celene, Justinia is delivering a speech at a ball Celene threw for her (Celene doesn't make an appearance as she is marching on the elves in Halamshiral). The speech she is about to deliver is in support of mages. Though she is interrupted as Jeannot, a Libertarian Senior Enchanter from the White Spire, attempts to assassinate her.

Justinia authorizes Wynne to go rescue Pharamond, a Tranquil mage who has become possessed during his experiments into tranquility at Adamant fortress. Wynne brings Rhys, Evangaline, Shale, and Rhy's friend. Unknowing to all but Rhys, Cole tags along.

Justinia authorizes Pharamond to be made tranquil again at the advice of Lord Seeker Lambert, despite the protest of Wynne and Rhys.

Justinia sends Leliana to the White Spire to aid the mages in their revolt while calling Lord Seeker Lambert to her side to distract him.

Cassandra, Leliana, and a group of Seekers still loyal to the Divine are sent to Kirkwall to recruit Hawke for the role of leader of the Inquisition; believing that they will have influence to reach a resolution between the mages and templars.

9:41 Dragon

Divine Justinia calls for the Conclave one year after the start of the Mage-Templar War.**

In the summer, Justinia travels to Serault to determine if Serault should have the Shame lifted and the Chantry reopened. Depending on the player, determines if it is or not.

Justinia dies in the explosion at the Conclave at Corypheus' hand. This starts the events of Inquisition, presumably taking place in late autumn since the Conclave happens a year after the events of Asunder and after Justinia's visit to Serault.

*Originally, in Origins, it was said the Chant of Light was written only in Tevene. As of 2014/Inquisition era lore, the Chant is now a collection of canticles from various languages.

**There is conflict on when this happens as her journal entry says she called for it a year after the start of the Mage-Templar war, which starts in late autumn. But the Conclave is known about during her visit to Serault which takes place in the summer. Suggesting the journal entry is referring more towards when the Conclave was scheduled then when she announced it. To add to this, Lord Seeker Lucius agrees to the Conclave before he meets with Corypheus and submits to Envy, presumably in the early months of 9:41; however, this is speculation.

what if i'm going through one of the most traumatic realizations of my life bc i used religion to recontextualize my abuse and suffering to have a higher purpose and my boyfriend just keeps waxing poetic about the semantics of godhood!!!!

im too braindead and tired to articulate it properly but the idea WILL NOT leave me alone so i just keep typing up really long convoluted posts about pleione's crisis of faith post-HLTA and the no doubt very intense conversations she'd have with solas about it. and then deleting the posts bc they make no sense

[lavellander]

like what if i thought i was the chosen herald of andraste and i was the maker's most specialest second prophet but then i went to the fade and learned that it wasn't andraste who saved me, and then the nightmare demon kept telling me the maker isn't even a god and probably just a spirit who communed with andraste, so the deity i have hinged my entire life on isn't even a deity at all

but when i go to talk to my boyfriend shartan i mean solas about it he seems kind of upset when i despairingly ask what if the maker was JUST a spirit after all, and he doesn't get why that would be such a bad or world shattering thing, and what does being a god even mean anyway?? what then???

im too braindead and tired to articulate it properly but the idea WILL NOT leave me alone so i just keep typing up really long convoluted posts about pleione's crisis of faith post-HLTA and the no doubt very intense conversations she'd have with solas about it. and then deleting the posts bc they make no sense

The ship dynamic of "I love you but I will always choose the world over you. I love you but my conscience binds me to the greater good in a way I can never escape. I love you but I would sacrifice you to save the world if I had to, even though it would kill me and I would never forgive myself. I love you and a part of me wishes that I could be the kind of person who would sacrifice everything for you. But I'm not, and I never will be, and if you're going to love me I need you to understand that."

Another difficult round choice! Again two characters from the same franchise even if not the same game. Both wizards!

Dorian can only be romanced by male characters while Anders can be romanced by male or female characters.

May the favorite tumblr wizard win!

All round three voting polls are here!
