Solas disapproves.
Daje: Roman slang, according to the context it could mean "Hurry up!", "Ok" or as in this case: "Come on!" or "Fuck yeah!". (Pronounced: /DA-yyeh/)
Tevinter is the Roman Empire, so Dorian has modern roman slang he's carefully teaching his friend.
Also rip Cullen on his road to navigate the new knowledge about himself with friends who are 50 shades of weirdos.

I've been practicing a lot lately, which means that I haven't been able to paint what I really want to paint (something dark and sad). But I guess I can still make it less cheerful with a quote!

reflection reflection reflection reflection (a mulan themed artwork)
(04/2024)
been a while since i did an artwork inspired by mulan, so thought i'd remedy that by doing something expressive and abstract! this is based on the themes of identity, gender and conflict that is prominent in the mulan story btw!

You will pry this headcanon from my cold, dead hands, I don't care for voice actors and whatever, he's too much a human disaster to be straight.

PMDD (Post Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
[CW menstruation, mental health. Quoted source altered to be trans-friendly] [artist imagery created in response to artist’s own experiences dealing with PMDD]
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a health problem that is similar to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) but is more serious. PMDD causes severe irritability, depression, or anxiety in the week or two before your period starts.
Symptoms of PMDD include: Lasting irritability/anger. Feelings of: despair, suic*de, or anxiety. Panic attacks. Mood swings. Lack of interest in daily activities & relationships. Trouble thinking/focusing. Tiredness/low energy. Food cravings/binge eating. Trouble sleeping.
Researchers do not know for sure what causes PMDD or PMS. Hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle may play a role. A brain chemical called serotonin may also play a role in PMDD. Serotonin levels change throughout the menstrual cycle.
PMDD affects up to 5% of [menstruating people] of childbearing age. Many [people] with PMDD may also have anxiety or depression.
Treatments include: SSRIs, birth control pills, stress management.
Thanks for reading. ♥ I never see anyone mention this, I thought I'd say something.
Personal notes: I have found the supplement "Jubilance" (oxaloacetate) to be a huge help. Not a total fix, but a great relief. And therapy helps me a lot, too! Track your cycles, too!!
