guidelines.
1. BASICS: I am mutuals only & selective with who I follow back. If you are under 21, have no rules or muse page, no IC writing on your blog, are not in an adjacent fandom to mine, I won't follow back. If I do follow back, I want to interact with you, so don't hesitate to send me a meme or like an interaction call! My activity fluctuates and I'm not a fast writer, but I try to interact with those on my dash to the best of my ability.
I'm a white and able-bodied person writing characters of colour and disabled characters. If I ever write or say anything that makes you uncomfortable (on these topics or anything else) I would really appreciate if you let me know so I can do better. Using anon for that if you don't want to use your name is perfectly fine.
2. INTERACTIONS: If in doubt, send the meme! I may not respond to all of them and never expect you to do so either. I might send several to give you options so you can delete any that don’t inspire you. Turning a meme into a thread is highly encouraged if you feel inspired to, and I usually try to write them with an opening for continuation. Please try to send me something if you reblog a meme, or reblog from the source.
I very rarely do starter calls. The best way to get something going is to send a meme, like a plot call, or like an inbox call. You can also always just hop into my inbox with a prompt or into my IMs to chat.
I don't have many banned fandoms and generally judge on a case by case basis, but don't follow me if you interact in any way with JKR or her media. I am anti queerphobia, racism, ableism, anti-semitism etc.
3. CANON-DIVERGENCE: I follow canon when I vibe with it, which means sometimes I throw it out the window. If my canon divergence affects another character, that should always be seen as my interpretation and you're under no obligation to follow it. Also worth nothing that I've only played Veilguard once on launch, and while that doesn't affect most interactions I do forget minor details, so please be patient with me for that.
4. SHIPPING: I love shipping and am always down for any sort of established relationships. If you feel like there’s chemistry there probably is, so don’t hesitate to say it! That said i will never force a ship and I need both some plotting OOC and writing IC to see how our muses click before I agree to one.
5. TRIGGERS: This blog deals with some heavy themes. I do my best to tag them when explicit or prominent in my writing and always if graphic, but not always when mentioned in passing. tags are formatted as ___tw (heavily present) or ____cw (just mentioned). Do let me know if I didn’t tag something I should have.
I won’t follow/will unfollow if you don’t tag:
nsfw / nsft / whatever tag you use as long as I can find it.
pregnancy and childbirth (I’m fine with mentions and can deal with it in backgrounds and such. Descriptions and imagery are worse.)
6. FORMATTING: Please don’t use double small text or gif icons in threads with me as I find it distraxting. I default to small text but will use regular if you do. If anything makes it hard for you to read, let me know.
7. CALLOUTS: I understand that sometimes callouts are necessary to protect others, but won’t reblog if I can’t verify the truth of them. Someone acting shitty doesn’t warrant a callout but simply a block; someone being genuinely manipulative might. If harms people, it isn’t ‘drama’. If I do ever post/reblog a callout it will be tagged as ‘callout cw’.
8. UNFOLLOWING: Your dash should make you happy, and you're free to unfollow me for any reason if you don't want me there. All I ask is that you hardblock so that i know it's unintentional. I will always hardblock if I want to break mutuals, unless it's because you've been inactive for a long time and I want to clean my followe count up. I reserve the right to unfollow for any reason, and i don't owe an explanation..Thank you for reading!

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of kicking you out", Halliserre assures her, reaching for the bottle of wine with her perpetually ink-stained fingers to refill first the Warden's glass, and then her own. Her gaze lingers on the label for a moment. It is a fine vintage, chosen specifically to honour the Hero of Ferelden, from vineyards in northern Orlais not far from what she used to call home. She dwells on it a moment to long, then blinks and looks back up.
"I just mean in a few days you will be so used to my terrible jokes you stop hearing them. They will just become background noise. At least that's what my friends tell me."
and if andraste is nowhere to be seen in this then frankly hal is just going to take whatever power she can get her hands on because she has nothing else :))))))))
by the time she gets to the well of sorrows hal knows andraste wasn't literally there with her in the fade and she didn't explicitly give her the anchor. that doesn't mean she's not the herald of andraste or that andraste had a hand in her hand, because divine intervention doesn't have to be at all direct. she could have guided hal there, she could have set the pieces on the board or she could have seen the way they were moving and just stepped in to save one. halliserre doesn't know the mark is divine but she treats it as though it is. if she does it in the name of andraste then andraste will see her and that's what matters
it's the same with the well of sorrows. it isn't andraste's but maybe andraste led her there, maybe she wants hal to have it and wield it, maybe she wants halliserre to have that half of her heritage too because andraste meant for elves and humans to be equal, maybe she is saying take it, embrace it, it is yours and you have my blessing

i don't know if hal can resist the well of sorrows. she's been going through all this telling herself she can embrace her elves heritage quietly and internally, because really isn't all that matters that she knows? isn't it enough to quietly know she's part of her mother's people even if neither that people nor anyone else knows it too? maybe that's the easiest and most practical and morally right way to deal with this? but then she's presented with this literal well of knowledge, and she's so curious, and morrigan has been spending the last few hours educating her on a culture that belongs to her, and solas has been spending the last months doing the same thing, and abelas doesn't even acknowledge her, and she's getting really sick of this conceal don't feel schtick
The cloth Ameridan holds between his fingers is soft, a woven halla wool dyed a deep red. Though it is not terribly thick, it is solid, offering a surprising level of protection against the elements. On each end of the wide scarf is woven in the design of nine living trees, with the center-most Sylvan standing taller than the rest, a feminine figure made from the space between its legs. Dhavihal smiles as he examines it.
“Deshanna gave that to me as a nameday gift shortly before I left for the Conclave,” she says warmly, her voice full of affection for her Keeper. “Isn’t it lovely? It’s… so nice, having a piece of home like that from her. Certainly made my initial journey easier.”
unprompted | always accepting | @keepslore
He has let the cloth run through his fingers, feelings its softness and weight, the smoothness of the threads against his thumb. Now he turns it and holds it out a little to admire the design at one end. Dhavi didn't give it to him to examine the weaving, he knows, but he cannot help but notice it: an old technique, suitable for the smaller and more portable looms the elves of the clans must have and chosen for durability and warmth.
"It is beautiful", he says. "It took a long time to make—and a good weaver, to use this technique so well and to make the pattern. Was it Deshanna who made it?"
He wants it to be. It is a good gift regardless, a loving gift, but more so if it was Deshanna's hands at the loom, her time spent planning the design, choosing the colours, perhaps spinning and dyeing the wool. She could not or would not offer Dhavi the love that was needed; but Ameridan thinks she should know there is love, and that love is in this cloth. Not so that she'll think better of Deshanna, but so that, if needed, she'll think better of herself.
"I hope you wear it with pride." He wraps it around her shoulders, arranges it so the design is visible at the front. When she looks down at it, he kisses the top of her head. "It suits you. Does the design mean something to your clan?"

Every day I think I'm remembering less of my mother than the day before. / Rem
meme | @chaostides
There spirit still carries the shape of the Nadas Dirthalen, marbled bluish armour and masked helmet to keep them safe and neat and tucked away—though piece by piece, like their shattered crystal, the armour has been falling apart. Gold shows through the cracks in the blue, little wisps escaping that intangible armour. At times the lose their shape altogether and turns to smoke, and when they put themselves back, the armour is a little softer at the edges. Falling apart, of breaking free. It feels the same.
A wisp as of a lock of hair curls around the side of their cracked face when they turn just slightly towards Alara. If the mask could show emotions, it would be torn between petulant wariness and reluctant curiosity. As it is, only the one golden eye peeking through the blue can truly glare at her, and their mostly-armoured body can only flicker a little, torn between leaving and staying. They don't want to talk. Not to her, not to any of the thieves here.
But there are memories tugging at their being, old and painful and happy and real. The temptation to delve into them is hard to resist.
"They are there", Remembrance says at last, voice low as though if they just don't make a show of speaking to one of the thieves, it's still defiance. "Memories don't go away unless you're stupid enough to erase them. I could find them, if I wanted to." They don't, and they do. It is their purpose. They carry the memories of all those who are gone, they carry the memories for those who are still here. Their burden and their treasure.
Their eyes go dim; they blink without eyelids. "You carry her hands in your hair. She touched it when she was proud of you, I think."
carpals. what small habits do they have ? // for ameridan
memememe | @keepslore
having worked as an emerald knight & fade hunter, lived at the court of orlais, hunted mages and demons and fought the second blight for decades, ameridan naturally has grown very used to protecting his back. even when he relaxes he's always ready to spring into action and there are many small habits that support this. he stays aware of his surroundings by always looking around, takes note of routes for people to get in and out, and always keeps an eye on crowds. while he can sit still for long periods of time, his eyes are always moving. he habitually checks food and drink for signs that anyone has tampered with them. these actions are always subtle, he's not whipping his head around to look for enemies, he jut flicks his gaze around every now and then.
he has just as many habits to look out for others, not just for their safety but also their comfort. ameridan isn't an overly tactile person unless he knows that's appreciated, but if it is, a touch on someone's shoulder in passing, on their hand in conversation, just to let them know he's there is common. in a group setting he will notice is someone is left out or uncomfortable, and he's great at steering a conversation to a topic that includes everyone if needed.
