it’s really important to me when men put their heads in women’s laps. one of the most important things i can see on my tv. men laying their heads in women’s laps or men sitting and women standing and the man holds her around the middle and presses his face into her tummy as she hugs him around the shoulders. two very important poses. extremely soul igniting tableaux.
Was listening to the Dungeon Meshi opening a normal amount and had the urge to draw Friederick and his one (1) party Member, Elxian again ( @revoleotion ).
[ID: a digital drawing of Friederick and Elxian, two OCs. Friederick is a gnome with light skin and brown hair in a bun, wearing sailors clothing and is holding a harpoon. Elm's fire is hovering over his head. Elxian, a pale elf with blue hair is standing behind him with his eyes closed and singing. She's wearing a simple blue top and a golden pearl necklace. /End ID]
More pencil sketches... With Friederick and the other PC of the DnD campaign @revoleotion 's Elxian, whom the Captain of the "Good Fortune" fished out of the ocean and placed into Friedericks care. I think their "coworkers bonded together by the horrors" dynamic is really fun, they come from very different backgrounds.
[ID 1: a pencil sketch of Friederick and Elxian, two DnD Characters. Friederick is a gnome and trying to tie a bowtie, unsuccessfully. Elxian, a half-elf is watching him and commenting "you're a sailor how are you so bad at tying a knot". /End ID]
[ID 2: a pencil sketch of the same characters but this time Friederick is watching Elxian try to make a knot out of a rope, also unsuccessfully. /End ID]
When instead of continuing your job as a sailor and eventually retiring you have to save the world...

Friederick is drawn in red pen while Elxian is drawn in blue pen.
Friederick is a gnome with long dark hair, wearing sailors clothing and holding a map. He looks pissed off and tired with dark circles under his eyes.
Elxian is a half-elf with wavy, shoulder length hair. She is wearing a wide shirt with ruffles, trousers and a large coat over her shoulders. She's bending forward a little to look at the map Friederick is holding. /End ID]
"My DnD party would be roommates in real life" this "My DnD party are best friends" that, well MY DnD party would be coworkers who only ever interact during their lunch break and never interact outside of it. (Although the first two points would definitely apply to my pathfinder party).

[ID: a digital, fully colored drawing of Friederick and Elxian, two OCs.
Friederick is a gnome with long brown hair in a ponytail, wearing a hat, a rain jacket and jeans with a knee brace.
Elxian is an elf with light skin and blue hair, wearing a blue coat with dark trousers and is holding an umbrella.
They're walking next to each other and Elxian is laughing about something. /End ID]
Got inspired, made something, hope you enjoy.
Pretty accurate if I do say so myself.
okay so I am doing the felassan joins the inquisition AU. I forgot who started this so uh. I gotta find that post again to give full credit but here's the first few paragraphs of my wip
.
There is a new recruit in the Inquisition. It’s a tall elf with a vallaslin dedicated to Mythal etched into his serious features. His hair is soft, tied back behind his neck, and while his clothes suggest that he might’ve lived a life similar to the one Solas claims to have lived, he holds himself differently, with a certain maturity only a long life can teach you. He doesn’t lower his voice when he speaks, and while he respects authority–he does speak like someone all too familiar with hierarchy–his entire demeanor feels genuine, somehow.
He introduces himself as Felassan, which is a name that rolls off your tongue nicely when you address him with it. It stresses the phonetic markers of a language you barely speak, one that is lost to time and oppression, and it shakes a part of it awake again, gently pushing old, forgotten scraps of it into your hands, urging you to remember. On the rare occasions he speaks Elvish, he wields the language with more skill than any other elf you know, other than Solas, of course.
That is not to say that he doesn't understand the common tongue, or modern Thedosian culture. He is far more assimilated than Solas is. He dresses in nice robes that have a distinct Fereldan style to them, and if it weren’t for his vallaslin and ears, he would probably blend in perfectly with the other recruits.
He is nothing if not polite. He knows military tactics, and while Cullen is hesitant to listen to a complete stranger at first, you end up finding them in the Skyhold Courtyard from time to time, pouring over a map, moving figurines around and gesturing wildly. Felassan’s voice isn’t overly loud but it carries far without much effort.
Perhaps naturally, based on the perceived similarities Felassan expects them to have, he gravitates most towards Solas. Solas isn’t… well, it’s hard to say whether he is uncomfortable with this because Solas, as you’ve gotten to know him over the last few months, would rather die than discuss his feelings. You still remember the kiss, the sincerity of it, the way he held you; the way he immediately stepped away and fled, apologized, insisted that it wouldn’t work when you offered to try. Despite his unwillingness to show discomfort, it’s obvious that he’s not exactly a fan of Felassan following him around.
It never gets heated. All things considered, their opinions do align well enough. Solas never snaps at the man the way he does at Dorian. There is no awkward tip-toeing around the topic of identity and purpose either, the way he does it with Varric. He doesn’t try to convince Felassan of the value of ancient Elvhen knowledge like he does with Sera. You expected Solas to judge the man for being Dalish but it never even comes up. (Which is odd, considering that this was one of the first topics he breached with you.)
About a week after Felassan joined, you are starting to notice the tension between them. Solas sighs when Felassan brings up a Dalish legend about the Dread Wolf. Felassan turns to you, “Inquisitor, have I told you my favorite legend yet? Of the time the Dread Wolf lost his tail to a mabari?”
“Please don’t bother the Inquisitor with Dalish superstitions,” Solas says.
You reach out with your anchored hand to pat his arm. “It’s fine, Solas. No, I haven't heard of it yet. Why?”
Solas winces away from your touch.
“Felassan…”
“Yes, Solas?” Felassan interrupts smoothly, and there is something in the way he looks at Solas that makes you wince. There is too much emotion in that gaze, emotion you can’t grasp, no matter how hard you try.
Solas meets his eyes, and for a few seconds there's nothing but intense silence between them, all until the apostate turns away, his posture defeated.
“Nothing. Continue.”

watching the original skam in multiple parts on google drive when i was 17 was literally the last time i felt anything
you’d never get it i have sick and twisted fantasies (making every character aromantic)

supple-MENTAL am I right-
I love how fast Jon spiraled between seasons
there's this girl at work that i don't know if she just too nice or she it's flirting with me
I think it's fun that the titular dragons of Dragon Age ARE mysteriously coming back from extinction, but that is (1) never explained and (2) never plot relevant. It's like if during a major apocalyptic event, you just randomly started seeing dodos again. like hey that's neat. anyways
Been thinking about one of my favorite things in Da2. That being the little reminders of your companions around the Hawke Estate. The statue Fenris hates, whatever rude thing Isabela carved into the stairwell, alcohol that was a gift from Aveline, the never ending copies of Anders' manifesto. The books they recommend you line the bookshelves. Theyre your friends and while its not shown often in game, they are at your house enough to leave imprints of their presence.
Have we done this one yet?
i always feel like a gay little freak when i talk abt downton abbey irl to like. old women. they’re always like “oh…you’re favorite is thomas? the gay evil footman…?” YES THE CUNTY GAY EVIL FOOTMAN. god why is that so hard to understand.
i just got here but sincerely what is wrong with dorian pavus. he’s a necromancer. he helped invent time travel with his phd supervisor; this is never touched upon again. he comes out to you in front of his homophobic dad by going “sex. with men. ever heard of it”. he’s canonically so good at magic that he can keep up with god in conversation about it. constantly complains about the weather and all while he has one tit out at all times. his backstory is that he’s simultaneously a delinquent and a girlboss. he’s an alcoholic. his facial hair is completely fucking indefensible. h
