CREDITS : header is (potentially? couldn't find a definite source) by gelrev ongbico. base icon template (edited by me) is by stephysource, caps are taken by me, lanaya's model is by me, psds are mixed together with unknown names bc i've had them for so long and there isnt a url attached to the file but one of them is called "haunted". icon was commissioned by me & made by eve/rmore/lore.

RULES.

01. THE BASICS. this blog is mutuals only, selective, divergent in some areas and medium - sporadic activity. if you are expecting a lot of replies then this might not be the blog for you! i also post a lot of ooc and headcanon posts, which i know isn't always everyone's cup of tea. you're more than welcome to not follow back or blacklist my ooc tag.

i am very duplicate friendly and have a verse where lanaya is a companion. i love other inquisitors and lavellans and would love to figure out a way to write with them all, if you're also dupe friendly. but i won't follow first just in case you're uncomfortable. i also will want to go 50/50 with inquisitors, aka we write in both companion verses so it feels equal. if you don't have a companion verse, that is okay, i just don't feel comfortable forcing lanaya into a companion role all the time but i also don't want to be "hogging" it since i'm sure both of us want to make our character the inquisitor. (unless they both can! which is also a good option)

if you don't have a fantasy verse i won't follow back. general fantasy is easy enough, but i haven't figured anything out for lanaya outside of some vague modern verses and a wip scifi verse.

i don't usually follow first. i'm very anxious and darpc is still very new to me. i'm more likely to follow people who are mutuals of my mutuals, but not always. sometimes it takes me months to finally follow someone. i just! get nervous about following people a lot and nothing can be helped until i get more comfortable with lanaya's character and get a better sense of her (even if she's existed in my head long before i ever made a blog for her).

if you don't follow back within a few days i will unfollow. i understand some take time to follow back but i'd rather not accidentally interact with your blog when we're not mutuals and you're mutuals only, it's kinda embarrassing ngl. if you unfollow, please softblock or hardblock - DO NOT UNFOLLOW. i am also going to attempt to keep this blog low stress and keep the follower amount lower so if enough time passes with no interactions ( ic / ooc / reactions to posts ) i may unfollow -- of course sometimes it takes time to write together if you're not engaging in my posts at all, then that's another thing entirely. i don't want to be another mutual to add to the follower count. i am also not going to follow every blog my mutuals make and you also don't have to follow all of my blogs! especially if it's a fandom i don't know about or i just don't have a character that goes with them ( and vice versa ). if you have multiple blogs i'm also entitled to softblocking any of them and remaining mutuals on others, especially if as time goes by i don't see interactions happening.

02. PSA. many of my characters are strong and don't like to be backed into a corner. don't provoke them unless you want to deal with it ic. and please don't woobify lanaya. she IS naive at times and TRUSTING, but she's thirty+ in most verses. she's strong and capable and has a naive wonder about herself. both are true at the same time. she is not a child nor has she been one in a long time. just because she isn't a mage doesn't mean she's not powerful in her own right.

03. MAINS AND AFFILIATES. i mostly practice mains and affiliates but i don't do exclusives. affiliates is someone who's intertwined in my characters development and characterization but aren't exclusives. i'm not against having multiple mains of the same character, as i see every version and dynamic different since everyone may see said character in a different way! however, i don't get in the habit of " collecting " muses, since i also personally don't like the feeling of being " collected ".

04. STAR WARS + MARVEL PSA. i have been in and out of both rpc's for awhile and i'm really not here for drama. i just want to write. i am a bit more selective with star wars blogs, just due to swrpc. mcu blogs i'll also be somewhat picky about but thats mostly in related to the fcs that make me uncomfortable. i am also very against whitewashed maximoffs, hydra and sabra blogs. if you don't explicitly state / make it clear your maximoff muses are romani then i might be a bit hesitant to follow first, since i've been surprised in the past to find what i thought was a comic-based but they used the mcu fcs.

05. PERSONAL BANNED FCS/FANDOMS/CHARACTERS. won't follow anyone who writes hp characters. any and all hydra muses, hydra!cap, n*zi affiliated muses, hp muses and hp verses, stranger things muses + verses. there's a lot of problematic face claims within the mcu that i just won't want to see on my dash, but i'm not going to list them all.

06. SHIPPING. i loooove shipping, i love ships !! and most of the time, it doesn't take much for me to ship something but i am usually a bit hesitant to message first, just due to normal anxieties and not being sure if someone is as interested as i am (i'm even kinda hesitant with shipping calls ... i just get nervous, okay!!). chances are if you ship it, i do too!! or the idea of it!! i just won't do any weird ships. i ship my lavellan with solas but i will never pressure someone into it!! ( i'm actually quite hesitant to even suggest it to people because i'm shy/anxious about being perceived as force shipping or pressuring someone into it without meaning to ) i'd rather build the dynamic and if we feel like they're better as friends or a " never happened but there's lots of tension " then that's okay too! i will never immediately go for a romantic dynamic with them unless we've discussed it either in dms or through ship interest checks. i also ship lanaya with other inquisition characters and can easily ship with anyone. i'm also okay with shipping with multiple versions of a character. like i said above, there's so many different concepts and takes on a character that if i were to ship with more than one solas or (insert character name here) the dynamic may be completely different from the other one. i will typically only ship with a handful of versions of a character as i don't want my writing partners to feel they're "just another ship" or filling a wanted ship with no regard for the character/mun or the time put into the character.

solavellan is the worldslate, so that'll be assumed in most threads. i'm also open to writing in any of my other ship verses (fenris and felassan are two of the main ones but any of them are fair game). solavellan won't be assumed against another solas unless we've talked about it.

07. ACTIVITY. i am a neurodivergent person who deals with depression, anxiety, working full time, etc so i'm not always on. i don't even regularly do replies even though i want to, so sometimes it's just not going to happen. please me patient with me. if you genuinely need me to be consistently active this might not be the blog for you to follow and that's a-okay!! my reply lengths will also vary -- i absolutely can write a lot and used to write more novella but pre-indie i started cutting it down because my partners wrote less, but i'm looking to get back into writing longer replies. that being said, you never have to match length (of course don't reply with a one liner, but if i do multiple paragraphs i don't expect you to do the same or have the same energy).

08. NSFW AND TRIGGERS. i do not have triggers of my own but i will always try to tag them. my usual format is trigger cw or trigger //. i have a lot of mutuals so it's impossible for me to remember everyone's. if i ever forget just send a message on/off anon or dm me and i'll fix it asap!! nsfw content may also appear, including smut, but i am more selective about it. as a general rule, smut will never happen if a character is under 21 -- but given lanaya's age i won't ship with a character under mid 20s during dai ( or write smut between them ) or 30s during dav. by the time of veilguard, lanaya is 40s+, so i cannot see her being interested in someone under late 20s, though at least 30 is preferable. i don't mind age gaps especially given that one of my favorite ships is solavellan, but sometimes i can't see it.
