#elfroot is weed

[britcision]

So a bitch got the Dragon Age World of Thedas book and for once the bitch isn’t me (it’s my partner)

And there are RECIPES, so you know what we did

This is the Dalish Deep Forest Comfort, but we ah… we have enhanced it to a wild degree

So Imma preface this with “we have been making jokes about Lavellan’s parents being godawful cooks so he eats everything raw” for months long before we got this book

(There’s a ficlet about it for our Four Heralds AU that may or may not be out already and if not will be soon)

But then we saw this recipe, and… guys? Guys? Let the Dalish have nice fucking things

This here is a spaghetti squash casserole, and one we made with one spaghetti squash instead of three

In the original recipe, the ingredients for this casserole are:

- 3 spaghetti squash

- 2 tbsp butter

- 4 cloves garlic FOR THREE ENTIRE SQUASH

- 2 cups mushrooms

- 2 cups spinach (they lie and pretend elfroot is spinach but elfroot is weed so this might explain the quantities)

- 2 cups diced tomatoes

- teeny bit dried red pepper

- pinch of parsley

- 3/4 cup of feta

- wildflower garnish

Let me tell you right fucking now I don’t think they know how much you get out of a spaghetti squash because we put 2 cups tomato and spinach each in this baby with our 1 spaghetti squash and it’s perfect

So obviously we diverted right at the start, cooked the spaghetti squash with salt, pepper, roasted garlic and red pepper all rubbed in

And to the rest we added onions and a strawberry basil summer sausage that fuuuuuuuuuucks, herbs de Provence, more salt, pepper, olive oil, roasted garlic and red pepper, cracked garlic, allllll the sausage juices, and tossed her up

Crusted the top with aged white cheddar, panko, and more feta, back into the oven, and guys?

This is fucking good just, real fucking good

I thought I hated spaghetti squash but I just hate it when my sister cooks it cuz she cooks like the Dalish apparently, with just… no seasoning

Gonna bastardize many more recipes in future but this one is a winner once you beef it up a lil bit

Let’s face it, morrigan knows every type of fantasy weed

#she keeps giving alistair the one that makes him see demons #girls been alone in the woods since infantcy she’s probably done so many drugs just for the five of there being nothing else to do #turns into a wolf to eat the weed only wolves know about #anyways yes I know about elfroot 4:20 #dragon age #morrigan dragon age #da:o

[nightwardenminthara]

also what is your inquisitors “weird thing with elfroot” that scout harding mentions? pls tell me

#faron is always chewing elfroot is like surprised more people don’t bc he’s like it doesn’t HAVE to be ground up into a poultice guys #gideon is very laced up in public but definitely smokes a lot by the end of inquisition #bc yes in my head elfroot is similar to weed #i know some people hate comments like this by npcs forcing traits into their character #BUT my theatre kid ‘yes and’ brain enjoys #that’s why forced video game bestie doesn’t bother me either lol

[beastofmoss]

I told my boufriend that Viveras does elfroot as kinda like weed and is a bad influence on Cole. And then, he proceeds to tell me that Cole, Sera, and Viveras all are doing elfroot n when Cole actually like drank the bong elfroot n disappeared for a week: only to be found in the celling by Deshan.

#deshan lavellan #weed joke?? #but elfroot #fantasy elfroot weed??? #Sera #viveras lavellan #cole #cole da #da #headcanon i guess #my boyfriend comes up with the funniest interactions i swear

[shift-shaping]

possibly my most controversial take yet but i actually do think alistair has smoked weed

#weed #smoking tw #alistair theirin #i think he has tried it once and was bad at it but did not have a strong opinion #so when leliana brings it up at camp he's like 'oh yeah you can smoke elfroot huh i did that once' #'kinda stinky' #and that's his hottest take #meanwhile amell/surana/brosca/aeducan are like 'what the fuck are you talking about' #'why would you burn the healing plant' #but mahariel can just '>:3' #honestly probably cousland too #tabris knows and doesn't care #now that i've played all the origins i have so many opinions on my dumb one-off blorbos #for example #the dwarf noble origin is way too long but is actually really well-written

[villainanders]

I do strongly believe elfroot is fantasy weed tho bc of that one gag in witch hunt but more importantly the implication this has for every healing item in the franchise

Part two of my dragon age: origins headcanons because It's my current hyperfixation 😋

I'm honestly just writing these down here when I think of em

Oghren will stop doing whatever he's doing if he sees the Warden just to wave at them like a goof, he could be in the middle of fighting for his life and he stops to wave to them.

Morrigan can go MONTHS without bathing and look exactly the same as she did the last time she took a bath. She doesn't smell either she smells like roses 24/7 and no one knows how she doesn't smell after not bathing for like three months.

Leliana puts ribbons around her boots to make them prettier

Zevran tends to linger behind the party when walking somewhere just so he can stare at their asses without it being obvious.

Alistair keeps cheese in his pockets at all times, he has like three big ass cheese wheels in his tent at camp so he will take little pieces of cheese off the wheels and put them in his pocket so he has a snack later.

Wynne cooks the most out of everyone, she always takes requests from the party members so she can make them their favorite dishes for dinner so they can enjoy something during the blight.

Leliana often has auditory hallucinations and the most common one she has is of a woman screaming bloody murder, she'll jump a bit and if no one reacts to it she just carries on with what she's doing while waiting for it to stop.

Alistair has insomnia most of the time when he's "sleeping" he just lays in his bed roll and waits for sun rise, sometimes he'll talk to Zevran or Leliana if they get up before everyone else.

Zevran has Paranoia and has visual hallucinations, though they don't happen all that often, they still freak him out. He mostly see's shadow people which freaks him out alot because he thinks they could be assassins, watching him.

Oghren will pass out sometimes from his drunkenness, thankfully this doesn't happen during fights.

After Zevran got mad at the warden saying "there are other things to do besides me, go do those." The Warden gets upset and goes to sit by their tent and shale see's this and tries comforting them by saying "Would you like me to crush the painted elf" which actually does make the warden feel better.

Zevran and Leliana are polyamorous and wouldn't mind being in a poly relationship.

Leliana has a FAT crush on Morrigan, even if the warden romances her she can't help but fall for the tall lesbian.

Zevran has a crush on Sten, not in a romantic sense but more so he's attracted to him because Zev loves tall people.

Alistair is a bisexual in denial, he thinks he's straight but when he sees men without shirts on he gets all flustered.

Wynne reads 24/7 and she reads smut. Like hardcore smut. She reads it with a straight face.

Once Alistair asked what she was reading and she handed him the book to read the synopsis outloud and he became so embarrassed about it, Zevran and Morrigan made fun of him for it for weeks, he still can't see Wynne the same way again.

Elfroot is like weed, that's why it's called Elfroot because ancient elves would smoke it.

Leliana will wash and style Zevran's hair for him, during his time with the crows he didn't get to have his hair all nice and clean and styled properly so he doesn't really know how to take care of it all to well, so Leliana does it for him.

Zevran gets jealous easily believe it or not, if he sees another person flirting with the warden he gets mad and will go up to the Warden and interrupt their conversation. At first when he doesn't realize he's fallen for the Warden he keeps thinking he's stupid for it and tries to ignore it.

Leliana doesn't have a tendency to get jealous but if someone is getting too touchy with the Warden she'll just stand behind the warden glaring at them to get them to back off.

Morrigan can be very possessive of the Warden even if the warden hasn't romanced her she still will be very possessive especially if the warden is around someone she doesn't like (like Alistair)

Alistair gets jealous but doesn't show it or anything he's more tame and doesn't act on it or anything.

Morrigan is a raging lesbian she has no romantic interest for men, the only time she'd even sleep with a man would be for her to have a child. But she doesn't try to pursue any romantic relationship with women due to her pushing the people she loves away.

Oghren misses Branka before she left him but is glad to be a part from her at the same time.

Shale pets your Mabari 24/7 she loves animals especially dogs

Zevran is very weary around dogs, there were stray dogs all around Antivia City and they'd attack a lot unprovoked, he's been attacked by them numerous times so he was of course nervous when joining the warden's party seeing they had not just a dog but a wardog. Over time though he grew to actually like the dog alot however.

Leliana is a cat person, she's fine with dogs but she loves cats. But if she did have to choose between a Nug and a Cat she'd ofc choose a Nug.

Alistair is a major dog person, when he was living with the Arl he would usually hang around the kennels rather then being around people. When he says "I was raised by dogs" he wasn't actually that far off.

Morrigan doesn't like Dogs or cats, she's a bird person. She only tolerates the wardens Mabari because she knows the warden loves him.

Oghren is actually fond of dogs believe it or not, he hates cats though he says "they're stuck up"

Sten doesn't have a preference between cats or dogs however he respects dogs alot more then he respects cats.

Wynne is a cat lady, like if the tower let her she'd have like 20 cats.

Alistair has elf ears but not like how full blooded elves have, half elves have small points to their ears, they look like human ears but have a point to them instead of being rounded fully.

Leliana has a tattoo of a sun on her right shoulder.

Zevran has tattoos all over similar to the ones on his face, but he also has a tramp stamp that says " amor ''

Morrigan at first meeting her has no tattoos, I mean where would she get them living in the wilds. Once she leaves though she does get a tattoo of a raven on her left arm.

Alistair got drunk and got a tattoo of a dragon on his back, he thought it was cool at first but now that he's having to fight dragons and the arch demon he hates it.

The circle doesn't let mage's have tattoos so Wynne doesn't have any.

Sten does not have any tattoos because the Qun does not allow it, he does put markings on his body with face paint however.

Oghren has a tattoo of two beer mugs clanking together in between his shoulder blades.

That's all for now I'm most likely gonna do another part because I actually like writing these it's just nice to do when I'm not doing anything. Also the first part did pretty well and got a decent amount of attraction so definitely gonna do more 🤭

Plus I love fueling the dragon age fandom I wish there was a lot more stuff ab it 😭

Snippet below:

~~

Thom was smiling under his great beard, thick arms crossed in a thoughtful manner.

"Where'd you learn this?" he asked with a darling softness, gesturing to the runic language at the bottom. "I'm not literate, but I've seen some dwarven writing in my day."

"The dwarven men I travelled with were…worldly." It felt like a script at this point. She wished she could tell the whole truth of what they had been, as their memory deserved.

"Really? I've heard you mention them offhand. Sounds like quite the tale. You should tell me more one day," he said, and she didn't bother to hide her surprise this time. He wasn’t pushing boundaries with potential hurt…and she respected that. He gave her a self-satisfied grin she couldn't resist returning. She quickly wrote out the directions and tore the page out for him. "Funny. I could have sworn I'd seen another healer today with the same thistles and dandelions in her hair. Similar journal too. Looked nothing like you though, save perhaps the height."

Rainier was more perceptive than she thought or she was a full blown fool. How had she not seen him in the infirmary? And furthermore, stupid, stupid me for not removing the weeds. You were so cocksure about not getting caught.

"For what it's worth," Rainier shifted so his back was against the opening, stretching his pained leg out beside her. "Defying Miss Head-Healer Thera to give me that dragon's spit salve you whipped up instead of the same tired elfroot-embrium one–"

"I  treated  you?" she blurted. And…there went her cover. “  Fenedhis , I must have been high off Enoki’s herb not to have noticed.”

Rainier belted out a merry laugh. If she weren't mildly panicking and reassessing, it would have been infectious. "Don't worry. Genuinely wouldn't have known if not for the flowers." He leaned in until she could smell him—woodsmoke, a bit of spicy dragon's spit, and straw. "But…I’m tickled curious. Why are you in disguise?"

Maordrid plucked up her carving tool, giving him a knowing glance. "I don't think we are so different, Rainier."

Kelp or Alec for problematic fave ❤️

I just did Kelp so I'm gonna go with Alec.

Alec is a fucking asshole. Like, seriously, he enjoys pissing people off. He has fun mocking other people, and he is especially likely to do that when he's feeling insecure himself because somewhere inside, he's a petty, emotionally constipated, angry little boy trying to prove his uncle wrong... Like a wharf cat, his hackles rise easily because he has an inflated and extremely fragile ego, and he does push back by being an insufferable nuisance or a downright ass.

(edit) How coul I forget to mention he is a liar liar pants on fire??? He's a huge liar. Why? To make himself sound better, and to have fun at other people's expense. And because it is a compulsive habit.

And gods, don't get me started on the grindset. I would never be friends with Alec. Like, I would enjoy his company on occasion but I don't think we'd get far into a friendship bc he's so obsessed with career and being the best and blabla, miss me man. I wanna rotate blorbos in my living room all afternoon I cannot match your energy without cocaine (lyrium). Which, by the way, Alec does. On occasion. And weed (elfroot) nightly because he's too fucking anxious to get proper sleep without a sedative. In modern au, sometimes he prescribes himself actual sedatives too.

Oh, and he's a blood mage who made a deal with Sophia Dryden ans then killed her anyway. He fits the "dead girlfriend the protagonist feels guilt over" trope. Fragile masculinity, and can't be single for more than a month. Also, he is a bisexual slut.

And like, poor Zev, you know? Alec is a shit partner. In canon he promises Zev to go to Antiva after the Blight and it takes him six fucking years and Zev nearly dying for him to actually fulfil his goddamn promise. And all because he was being a high-achieving workaholic to feed his inflated ego again.

He's got his head so stuck up his fucking arse he does not know how to ask for help. He takes on more than he can handle and when he eventually makes mistakes out of sheer exhaustion he then collapses into episodes of ocd and isolation and stress, not only completely neglecting Zev but being verbally vicious as well, like a wharf cat with sharp claws.

Did I mention blood mage?

Also, he doesn't like dogs.

He's problematic, man.

#alec surana #alec surana is so fucking problematic I didn't think I'd write more for him than for kelp #lmao #oc asks #but also he is 21 years old #lol #a lot of that changes after his 27s depression #he matures #he figures himself out a lot better #he becomes a father #and a better partner

First Lines

Rules: Post the first line/paragraph of your current WIPs

Tagged by @dirty-bosmer, thank you!

I’m cheating a bit and using a scene I’m not as actively working on for the sake of sharing something more interesting, so here’s Amaryllia tending to the grounds of Cullen’s clinic and getting surprised by a certain former red templar:

Amaryllia set down her stool, put on her leather gloves, and set to work weeding the small elfroot patch in preparation for mulching it over for the coming winter. Elfroot were hardy plants, but removing weeds that grew near the bases of their stalks was still a delicate operation, and she was soon absorbed in the task. She smiled to herself in victory when she pulled up a particularly stubborn bit of grass, only to start when someone pointedly cleared his throat behind her.

Tagging @nostalgic-breton-girl, @sheirukitriesfandom, @boethiahspillowbook, and anyone else who wants to join. :3

2, 13, 14, 35, 51 for Ari

A surprise Ari ask swoops in!! Of course I will answer. Aristide Lucarno is my Antivan Crow apostate mage (Dragon Age OC with many non-canonical traits, like being visibly half-elven)

2. What was your original concept for this character? How did playing them change that concept?

Original: (slaps them on the back) This rakishly charming blorbo can fit so much traumatic backstory in them.

After roleplaying them for a year and nine months: This rakishly charming blorbo has even more depth and nuance to their traumatic backstory than I originally planned, but also they are genuinely funny, caring, and also kind of simple and stupid in an intensely lovable way.

13. What are some motifs you associate with them? Did you intentionally bring in those motifs or did it happen over time?

Intentional from the outset: illusions, masks, mirrors, gold and violet

Happened over time: foxes, wisteria

14. What keeps them up at night?

Quite literal, in their case. Ari's an apostate who has never set foot inside any Circle, but they were trained by a Crow mage who grew up in the Antivan Circle and escaped as an adult. Maestro Octavian imposes as much of Circle disciple and traditions on Ari that he can, including a sort of version of a Harrowing that Ari underwent at the end of their Crow apprenticeship. Long story short, Ari did not defeat their assigned demon but made it out of the Fade anyway. Afterword, they regularly began encountering that same demon in their dreams. Ari's solution to this is to do drugs about it (in our headcanon, elfroot functions something like weed in real life) and Ari hasn't fallen asleep sober in years to avoid dreaming and running into the demon again.

35. When did they feel loneliest?

Well you see 🥺 They got picked up by the Crows after a magical accident in which they accidentally killed their closest friends, resulting in a You Can Never Go Back Home situation. So. Those first couple weeks in the manor owned by House Lucarno were pretty fucking lonely.

51. What element of their backstory are you proudest of?

I have a story about them that I'd really like to put on AO3 maybe one day. It recounts the "burning down a building in a magical accident" incident mentioned above, only it's told from the Crow master's POV who finds them. Ari's little child gang has broken into her house by pure bad luck, trying to do some petty sneak thieving. The most fun part to me is that Ari is not the kid who distinguishes themself first - it's written to make it seem like another kid is the protagonist, an older girl who's the leader of Ari's child-gang and Ari's best friend, Luisa. This Crow master basically overlooks Ari entirely because they don't speak up and don't distinguish themself in any way until, OH, they are magical and cause a massive house fire and are the sole survivor.

#aristide lucarno #i swear there is a lot to them besides their tragic backstory #but you did ask questions that were specifically about their tragic backstory lol

[tatert07s]

Can I have some cute Ghafar and Merrill moments/facts please :]]]

OMG, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this sooner moot JEJSJDJSJ

Merrill got Ghafar to learn the blood magic specialization. Especially with the ritual she did by using her own blood to open the gate for the funeral at Sundermount. He originally thought blood magic was scary and required you to mandatorily use some sort of sacrifice, especially from the rumors he heard about it back from Lothering and the reputation it has. He had no idea he could utilize his own blood to preform the magic. So, Merrill’s understanding of blood magic piqued his interest.

He visits her place on the occasion to learn the different spells

Ghafar also felt pretty disconnected from his own culture. Especially after leaving Lothering, and his father dying. Which he related heavily with Merrill, even though she’s an elf. Merrill found it rather fascinating that a human was going through the same issue as her in terms of reconnecting. They both help each other with trying to reinforce culture and old traditions into their lives (Ghafar helps Merrill by getting the artifact for her Eluvian, as one of them).

Cute things they do together/cute stuff about them (Idk):

• Merrill likes playing with Ghafar’s hair (he has curly fluffy hair underneath the turban, and lets her with his consent).

• In my DA worldstate, some of the locations are Asian inspired. Which includes the village Ghafar comes from in Fereldan (which resembles ancient Afghanistan. Ghafar is a Pashtun-Kurd). So, the language Ghafar speaks is reminiscent to Dari & Pashto; and he refers to Merrill as Jigar/Jeegar. Which would translate to as “my liver.” It’s a word of endearment LMFAOOO 😭 but fitting for my blood mage couple

• Merrill visits the Hawke estate for company. They like to read books together, drink chai, and cuddle 😳. She also stays over for sleepovers. (She also stayed at Ghafar’s place while he was mourning about his mother)

• They also smoke elfroot LMFAOOOO (this was definitely inspired by posts I’ve seen on my feed about elfroot weed). Ghafar uses his father’s pipe, while Merrill’s old fashioned and rolls it up with paper. It’s romantic ❤️

I’d probably include more via reblogs, but that’s like about what I have so far.

Do you think they still call it a nug in dragon ahe. Since there's an animal called nug. Oh wait they don't even call it weed it's fucking elfroot post canceled

[perkeleen-lavellan]

(might finish this might not)

Sacha hitting Alexius with the “you’re kinda far from home so nobody’d find your body if you happened to die here huh” hits so much better when he says it in Tevene.

Bonus fact! He’s smoking elfroot. I headcanon in the Circle the apprentices are often made to do chores like preparing herbs, and a lot of them make the surplus elfroot into blunts and get into the habit of smoking it. Especially if you’re an elf because in this house we believe in elfroot being elf weed superiority.
