i just saw you updated accursed ones so im catching up and i just wanted to say i love how you write sign language

Thank you! I am glad it reads well. The signs used are ASL.

#ao reviews #ao review #vik answers things #i am not at all fluent #but I did use basic signs for work once upon a time

“No. Anders stays with us.”

Another repaint of one of my inktober pieces! I really liked this one so I decided to turn it into a full scene 🥰

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

[thethirdamell]

so much chantry explosion discourse could be avoided if we all recognized the doylist explanation that bioware writers are centrists and anders is their marvel villain called Free-Healthcare Man

#anders #lol #unrelated/related #but ive been getting back into the lore #and making myself upset all over again #with how much of these stories absolutely refuse to engage with actual grey morality #and instead flat out say things like 'the apostates are insane and attack anyone on sight so its fine to kill them' #losing my tiny mind just trying to make sure i dont forget any lore before i start up again

hawke romancing the arishok probably wouldnt have fixed kirkwall but he shouldve tried it

#no no it would have fixed everything #hawke #arishok #no joke this would have been my favorite romance #you would not have been able to get me to romance anyone else

I don't really know how to comment on fics directly, so I thought this was the next best thing! I absolutely adore AO. Its genuinely one of the best things I've read. The twists catch me off guard, and the way I yelled when Amell came back! I genuinely had to go to my husband, fill him in on the entire plot and who the hell these characters are, and tell him about Amell coming back. (Hilariously he remembered Anders as "the sad sewer man, right?") The last few chapters you wrote were phenomenal. All of the chapters are, really. There are genuinely no boring chapters in this fic. I've reread it the whole way through probably 6 or 7 times now and it remains one of my favorite pieces of fiction. I genuinely hope you're doing well. Even if you never continue the fic, please know that you have a dedicated fan, and that reading your work is what finally inspired me to start writing again after 10 years of avoiding it. Selfishly, I'd love to read more, but I'd just genuinely like to thank you for writing what's become my favorite thing to read on the rare occasions I have time.

Hi there!

Thank you; this was nice to read. I appreciate feedback through Tumblr or ao3 in equal measure. I am alive, I just go through unpredictable creative cycles and lose the ability to write for years at a time before getting it back in million word bursts. I'm in a weird spot with my personal life but I have been side-eyeing AO intensely this past month.

I have around half of the next chapter written, but considering it's been... two years?? I feel like a recap chapter would be warranted whenever I resume. I am glad you enjoyed and continue to enjoy it. Someday we'll get to Inquisition. Maybe when DA4 comes out.

#ao reviews #vik answers things #told myself I'd take a break to write an original work but that lasted about 20k words #before i changed my mind on how i wanted magic to work #and realized id have to rewrite everything #and has devolved into a mess of a thousand different extremely well developed side characters #absent well developed main characters #whoops

Curse of most mind-blowing piece of media you have ever consumed is a fanfiction that you can't share with anyone

#another one #ao reviews #you could if you werent a coward.meme #same tho

[thethirdamell]

fanfic authors are absolutely nuts because i didn’t write a million words trying to get through college, you’re telling me a dragon age fan did this????

#oh shit it me #accursed ones #ao reviews #depression is a helluva drug #creatives hate him #write a million words with this one simple trick

[thethirdamell]

amell from accursed ones just give me one chance just one chsnce

#another one! #ao reviews #accursed ones #ive also been rereading #caught up to the start of from kirkwall we fled #going through and finding comments i missed #gobbling them up on my blog like that horrible little harvester

[thethirdamell]

I stopped reading accursed ones like... in 2019?? maybe???

few years later I'm still in dragon age hell and I'm re reading everything fuck me
