POSITIVITY MEME || Accepting ↪ send 🌲 and i'll recommend a blog with thought-provoking headcanons

I only got a handful of these prompts so I'm gonna cheat and do multiple (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)

@laperlina the sheer extent of storycrafting and worldbuilding Aqssa writes absolutely floors me. I love Adelaide so much. sometimes I just go through her info blog about her because it really is like reopening a chapter full of information about my favorite book, and it's one of those instances where I feel like I can lose myself in the world that's being crafted around this oc. I have so much respect for oc blogs who run entirely off original lore, and Aqssa's creativity is equal parts stunning and inspiring all at once. The dedication makes me feel inspired to push the boundaries of my own hcs and how I build them as well~

@isalarevas Farllee has been in the Big(tm) hc game for ages now and it's ALWAYS fantastic to read. The amount of work they've put in to craft this big, multi-warden universe with interconnecting threads and complex narratives—especially with my faborite bby albatross cenah at the center of this big shifting narrative—and I'm always ready to lock in when he drops another Big(tm) hc because i know I'm in for another expansion to Cenah World. The way she gradually grows from the unfavored child of Clan Lavellan into THE symbol of inspiration for the elves even after her (first) end coupled with the Tabris curse is 🤌

elandhris and organization don’t become enemies right away. they mostly ignore each other when elandhris first joins solas. their purposes don’t really have anything to do with each other, and organization was satisfied with a little bit of mess as long as the mess was contained to a specific area that a mess could belong to — solas’ office can be messy, for example, as long as the mess stays inside solas’ office.

the problem started when rook and co moved in. elandhris is distressed, closer than ever to twisting into corruption, and scrambling to try and keep solas’ plans protected while the enemy is living in their house. also, it’s mad and lashing out. i’ll link the posts later but essentially elandhris just starts stealing shit and throwing it all into one of the floating out-buildings to keep it away from the veilguard’s prying eyes.

important papers and books, maps, artifacts, onions, all kinds of things.

@craftsjoy / headcanon asks. accepting.

“Maker’s tits,” Her tone is so utterly exasperated and exhausted in equal measure, coming out as a half-growled sound, “I can’t deal with two of you fuckers.”

Technically, this makes four but it feels more correct to blame Solas for this, it’s his fucking knife that keeps attracting divine freaks to her feet. She hadn’t been aware of the elven gods before Varric dragged her into his wolf hunt. She’d spent her whole life so deep in cities that Dalish lore was more storybook tale than religion. However, like any good crow she did her research once her targets were given—she’s not sure exactly what the thing is before her, but she recognizes the odd shape of the crown upon its head.

Between that and a voice so sickly sweet and song like, it just makes logistical sense for a god of beauty—June, her tired mind stumbles upon the name. Why the sultry toned son of a bitch popping into her fucking dreams, as if she gets any rest with Solas prowling in them, is beyond her. It’s no surprise she’s been exhausted since dashing her head on that rock after Solas’ ritual, wonders if it would have been a mercy not to wake up but—

“I don’t need cryptic dreams to tell me it’s important, everyone and their talon wants the thrice damned thing.”

He sounds like Teia, looks a bit like Taash if she squints, but stands loose and relaxed as Neve yet also seems strangely thin, ephemeral like a smoke bomb’s last dregs before it sputters out, or the morning mist over the canals—But somehow, still deeper than that, a well that feels almost like the bubbly champagne she hates the feeling of. She can’t spit out the taste of him, like hookah vapor on her tongue lingering too long and drying it out.

You know the funny inverse of this being what’s a topic he knows absolutely nothing about that is crucial to the plot is: magic theory. i’m serious; he knows absolutely nothing about it. Dorian managed to figure out time travel magic, something Solas was certainly never able to do, because Dorian treated it like an equation - so Solas is much less practical in his application. He is magic, so he just does it. Might be why his veil didn't work the first time; he didn't look at it with enough Math

cole has a great appreciation for them — theoretically. as a thing that other people experience. a lot of memories (good and bad) are very easily evoked by recreating a taste or smell that someone associates with a particular person/place/event and as a spirit, cole found it a very useful way to comfort people or help them to remember something.

in his more human path? when he starts needing to eat things on occasion? nope. do not pass go. he HATES the sensation of chewing and swallowing and having a full stomach, it’s as bad to him as having an empty one, so already he’s not enjoying himself. add strong flavors into the mix and he’s spitting that back out immediately. he eats only when he absolutely must, often with the exasperated encouragement of those around him, and it’s the blandest food he can possibly manage to get down. whenever possible he’ll choose a thin soup over solid food, but prefers a basic solid staple like bread over a thick stew.
