asjhdkajsdhajsk i was watching dune and i was amazed that they managed to get all these gringos to speak a made up language for so long until i saw the audio was in PORTUGUESE

#bully me. i deserve it #well in my defense it wasn't brazillian portuguese and i figured the similar sounding words was just borrowing from romance languages

the client wanted a portrait where he could feel reflected in his transition and i felt honored to bring that to life :)

I'm highlighting Ale for their amazing painterly style. It reminds me a lot of a painter friend of my parents and I just know that it would look amazing on a wall in large size. Alejandro does AMAZING portraits of real people and pets, and does commissions of OCs!

Please support this Argentinian artist for amazing talent and get a commission and tip WELL, every dollar counts these days and their pieces are absolutely worth every dime. Working with Alejandro is a joy and I already am looking forward to my next commission!

You probably know Ale's work like this masterpiece (reblog it!):

But one of my favorites is this really splashy pet portrait:

Ale is a kind presence in my notes and on my dash and I would hope gets some long due traction and support!!!

Fanfic: I come to you with nothing - commonevilmastermind

Good things come in small packages and this one shot is *good.* I always forget that it's just a oneshot, because its impact on everyone who reads it is just so huge.

It's a beautiful fic that weaves together the Jewish traditions and culture that we know influenced the writing of the elves in the Dragon Age setting, and it is incredibly tangible and earnest and rooted in real world customs. It feels like coming home. It makes me really miss my Jewish half of the family, on another coast. And it makes me love this fandom that could make something like this fit into the Dragon Age setting, and do it beautifully and with respect born of familiarity and love.

do people even know the extent of sanctions on the iranian people? my mom's family can't afford fruit anymore. it's a state of psychological warfare; literally nobody living there has any sort of hope for the future. added sanctions from the EU are going to destroy the lives of 87 million innocent people

tbh the reason why i can't keep developing my inquisitor is because I Need To Know What Happens In Dreadwolf. so when the game comes out i'm gonna do the ironic thing and go full inquisition again

#so yeah your religion was a lie and the evil gods are back. in which manner are they more evil #besides having too much power. what's going to happen to the dalish. I Need to Know #in which extent does solas lie. lying is good btw it makes the plot thick #i know its not going to happen because the devs are painfully usamerican from head to toe but Can We Get SSome Grey Morality Here #or something like pathologic's artemiy route. you know. going back to the mythical
