Tagged by @emmg! My Rook is a Very Dense™ man, but also very extroverted, the total opposite of my Lavellan.

He was supposed to be the Enasalin from an old fic of a mine (and his first name is still Enasalin), but in the end he became a very different character (also due to the game's roleplaying limitations)

LUST. desire for connection. pursuit of pleasure. emotional intelligence. obsessive. lovesick. one-night stands. seductive encounter. flirtatious conversation. erotic party. seductive attire. revealing clothing. passionate gaze. provocative makeup. sensual expressions. suggestive gestures. flirtatious smiles. lingerie. love letters. perfumes. provocative behaviour. love poems. erotic art.

GLUTTONY. indulgence in experiences. savouring moments. hospitality. generosity. hedonism. culinary expertise. wine-tasting. excessive snacking. overloaded plates. excessive portions. bloated stomachs. messy eating. greasy fingers. full tables. indulgent spreads. overflowing cups. satisfied expressions. wine bottles. just can't get enough. fast food wrappers.

• He grew up as a city elf, so the first thing he did when he found himself in the Lighthouse was robbing Solas' pantry.

Harding: "Oh wow, that's a lot of raisins."

Rook: "OH SHIT, RAISINS, I HAVEN'T EATEN SOME SINCE 9:49 DRAGON"

ENVY. motivation. competitive spirit. strategic planning. observational skills. bitter rivalry. contest. envious gossip. resentment-filled argument. social media jealousy. furrowed brows. clenched jaws. side-eye looks. pursed lips. tense posture. whispering behind backs. crossed arms. gossip magazines. keeping up with the joneses. the grass is always greener. feeling inadequate.

• He's always feeling inadequate - he knows he's not supposed to be in that position, he's just hired help 😂 He's not really envious, more like "Please let this person deal with this" or "I wish Varric was feeling better enough to help me handle this group"

GREED. resourcefulness. entrepreneurial spirit. negotiation. materialistic. aggressive investment. lavish spending spree. resource-hoarding. get-rich-quick schemes. auction-bidding war. property acquisition. piles of money. overflowing wallets. luxury items. locked safes. penny-pinching. rare collectibles. selfishness. unwillingness to share.

• He knows what being poor means. He is a very resourceful man, knowing how to barter or save money, always yearning for a house he can call his own, since things in the alienage were a mess - shared shacks, shared spaces, shared food.

WRATH. assertiveness. decisiveness. strength. intensity. boundary setting. courage. indignant. heated arguments. road rage incident. physical altercation. angry outburst. clenched fists. glaring eyes. tense muscles. raised voices. reddened faces. aggressive gestures. stormy demeanour. intense frowns. destructive actions. broken objects. punching bag. out for blood. fists. simmering anger.

Tagged by @emmg ! I'm actually finishing the last chapter of a fic unrelated to DA, but I wrote this short snippet after watching all the review videos and getting inspired. I missed writing my Scarlet 😭

I don't know who to tag, to be honest - please feel free to participate if you see this on your dash!

Varric walked into the room with a weary sigh. There were times when the years weighed more than usual on his short frame, as if heavy boulders filled with regrets were pressing on his shoulders.

He forced a smile back on his face when he saw the Inquisitor standing next to a table, studying what looked like a map of northern Thedas - just like he had left her a few hours prior, when he had gone to rest his dusty old bones for a while.

"Ah, Shy, you work too hard."

She smiled at him, but her eyes quickly went back to the map, as if she couldn't look away from it even for a second. The fingers of her real hand were dirty with ink, meaning she had been taking notes, or perhaps writing letters.

She looked tired, pale, and Varric felt a pang of fatherly concern, mixed with pride.

Tagging @lateforjianghu @andauril @canticle-of-apotheosis @beardedladyqueen

1. Their reaction to the Evanuris (fangirl/sigh/show them the middle finger/blink because they have no idea who they even are??/ask if evanuris is a new gluten free diet/suggest a ghilan’nain-elgar’nan-themselves 3sum because hot shit when will they ever get an opportunity like that again) → Scarlet is like "DAMN, you're ugly 💀" when she sees Ghilan'nain, and I'm pretty sure she will curse at Elgar'nan

2. How are they saying hi to Solas (punch/kiss/hiss/once again—middle finger/offer him a stylish hat??) → kiss ❤️first she smiles at him, then once things are less awkward between them, they hug and kiss (and make love). TEN YEARS. TEN YEARS OF LONGING.

3. What’s their go-to reaction when Cassandra Allegra Portia Calogera Filomena Pentaghast recommends them a book? → She reads it straight away - they have the same tastes when it comes to literature. Smutty books with campy dialogues, over-the-top plot twists, and cliffhangers? She's in.

4. What did they do at the Winter Palace? No like really. Hook up? Get drunk and chat with the golden nug? Egg on every noble? → She ate and pocketed away all the sweets she could find. She also ate a lot, because the food was genuinely good and interesting! At the end of the night, when it was time to finally go to sleep, she and Solas used his hat to stash away the squishier, more delicate sweets and eat them in their room. <3

5. This is very important—did they have the ugly Qunari Par Vollen bed in their quarters and if not why did they make the wrong choice? (lmao I love that bed, so stupid) → sdkfkdglf no, Scarlet had the Free Marches bed! Comfortable, large enough for her and Solas, and she covered it with Dalish blankets her clan sent her.

6. Who is their bff? → Dorian, Cole, Cassandra, and Varric. But Dorian is definitely her top BFF.

7. What have they been up to in the 10 years between Inquisition and Veilguard? → Recovering from the loss of her arm, giving advice to Dorian through their crystals, helping her clan in Wycome, assisting Varric and Harding in their search for Solas even though she can't be directly involved.

8. The most important question: how do they plan to annoy Solas in Veilguard? → Talks about the funny things they went through during their time in the Inquisition. It's not really annoying, she actually tries to make him smile. 😭

"Solas, do you remember when we fell into that bush of nettles, and our backs itched for days?"

"I... Yes."

"And when Cole brought all those rabbits into the stronghold, and they nibbled at your notes?"

"Ah, how I mourned that research. It took me hours to rewrite it all down."

"And that day in Emprise du Lion when we were out of supplies, but finally found some wild game to eat?"

"You made quite the good stew!"

"We wolfed it down, wouldn't you say? :D"
