Thank you for taggin me @fadetouchedlurker and @amoaliquis. You two always inspire me for how deep you build your lore for your characters and world. This will be focused on Dragon Age.

🔹 WHAT’S A SMALL GAME DETAIL THAT YOU ALWAYS NOTICE AND LOVE?

When the characters in the game mention moments that we never see in the game. It makes me feel like the world is alive even when I'm not there to witness it all. Two examples that come to mind are when Solas and the Inquisitor are in their shared dream and Inky asks Solas why they're in Haven and when Solas responds with Haven being important, Inky comments that they already talked about that. When?? When did you guys talk about it? What did I miss? The other is also with Solas and Inky. At Skyhold Inky can ask Solas more questions about Corypheus and he says he already told them everything he knows on their journey to Skyhold. Of course we also get companion comments that stuff happened that we never got to see - like learning that Blackwall and Solas play cards.

To switch to Mass Effect - one of the sweet behind the scene moments I always liked was when Shep goes up to Kaidan and Kaidan says hey why didn't you wake me up before you left. It's so simple but it makes me imagine what their lives are like together behind the scenes.

🔹 WHAT’S ONE PIECE OF REFERENCE MATERIAL YOU’RE CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH?

I'm just always obsessed with codices from DA. They help add additional colour to the world.

🔹 SHARE A SNIPPET OR VISUAL FROM YOUR CURRENT PROJECT THAT YOU’RE QUIETLY PROUD OF.

Some gifs I'm working on right now. I have no one way of working on gifs. Sometimes I know exactly the dialogue I want to write and then I go hunting for the right scene and moments. Other times I get the gifs first, knowing the overall vibe I want to convey but then it takes me a bit to draft the dialogue. The example here is me knowing exactly the scenes but still drafting the dialogue. It takes me a bit because I need to see the gifs in action to help me write the dialogue - part of it is wanting to write dialogue that matches the mouth movement. This gif set will be a scene where Dozer digs into Solas more on Lavellan, accusing him of not actually caring about her. Solas does NOT like that.

🔹 WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO CREATING OR FINISHING SOON?

I still have a bunch of gifs planned for my Wolf in Minrathous series - I know the scenes to use, have some dialogue for some of them, I just need to record a few more scenes.

I also have a cameo from GDL that I'm creating a video for, so it's in rough draft with the audio in and a few scenes, but need to record a few more, insert and edit.

🔹 WHAT’S A FUN OR SILLY TRADITION YOU HAVE WITH YOUR OCs?

I don't have one really. I don't have many OCs outside of DA. If there is one consistent thing with them is their hair is either going to be red or black. (My Shep in ME has red hair and my HoF is a ginger. Hawke has black hair like Saethre - and well, Dozer has red hair - so there you go lol.)

🔹 WHAT’S AN NPC YOU’D LOVE TO SEE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OUTFIT OR SETTING?

The Adventures of Kenric and Harding? I always felt those two had a little something. Also, The Adventures of Cole and Dagna, I don't know why but the thought of those two getting into things delights me.

🔹 WHAT IS A COLLAB PROJECT THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO DO?

I enjoy fan exchanges so those are fun and I'll do more of them in the future. But other than that, no ideas really.

🔹 WHAT’S A TINY HEADCANON OR DETAIL YOU’VE ADDED TO YOUR OC THAT BRINGS YOU JOY?

That Saethre always wears a sash. For anyone who hasn't read my previous posts about the sash in Metis culture (I'm Metis) here is some info, The sash is multiuse - can be used to gather, used for warmth, used for people to work together and carry large loads over distances, used for injury - it's not just about the culture but it was extremely useful and so I always have that for Saethre and that the Dalish weave these sashes and pass them on down through the generations and then each person it's given to mends it and adds their own thread to it. Saethre's sash was handed down to her by her mother, and the generations before her. Saethre ties it around her waste when travelling (she never knows when she finds wild herbs to gather), wraps it around her neck when she's cold, wraps it around her torso and waist when going into battle as it can hold lyrium poitions and other necessities in battle she might need to quickly access.

The other headcanon I have that I love is that Solas and Saethre essentially create a new kind of people in Thedas through their progeny, similar to the Dúnedain - the Sulevhen. This has to do with Solas' immortality and that the anchor essentially changed Saethre's physiology.

🔹 WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT YOUR FOLLOWERS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

Ummmm. I don't know. Relating it to the world of DA, I just really love canon and am a canon junkie. I enjoy taking what's in canon and making pieces fit.

Another idea:

Calamity became an apothecary and healer. Her magic as a coreweaver allows her to heal many things without the help of Flora’s harvest, but she often feels that letting things heal naturally can do you some good as well.

Calamity took after her father, who was an apothecary. Though she was self taught due to her parents passing when she was 13. She keeps his practice alive by utilizing his books and journals.

“What do you think humans needed all these roads for?”

“I’m not sure, I guess they always needed to go somewhere? But this one is pretty big, I can’t image crossing it if there were cars.”

Fallout is a big inspiration, especially for the mutated Fauna and rad zones

The series is one of my favorite games series and I just love it :]

I can also image a lot of cities have fallout vibes due to the Fauna using scrap and old buildings as places of shelter
