Moro Lavellan

Tagged by @broodwoof (thank you luv)

top row:

left: a clothing item they would wear: Moro enjoys loose fitting clothing that doesn't show off her figure. And since her body runs hot it's much more preferable for her to lounge in kaftans and robes and the like.

middle: a texture in their signature color: Moro loves chiffon. She might hate how seethrough it is but she loves the feel. And burgundy is just the right richness for a rich lady like her.

right: an animal that suits their personality: Moro has always been a bird to be. Something sharp, protective of it's flock but elegant and beautiful.

middle row:

left: an environment that captures their story: Moro's the epitome of feminine rage. Someone who's always had to maintain control over her reactions to injustices, losses and failures out of her control. Surrounded by powers and people trying to control her, appease her and keep her in check.

Middle: Commission artwork of Moro I had done by Oddmoy!

right: an object in their bag: Her mother's prayer beads. They are very old but well made. Elvhen sigils inscribed upon them.

bottom row:

left: an interest of theirs: Moro LOVES flowers. She enjoys repurposing them for many things. For bathing, creating oils, for food and all sorts that can be done with them.

middle: an abstraction that captures their vibe: Duty. "Desires and hurts are all the same to her, burying them deep until duty is all that remains."

right: a food or beverage they enjoy: Moro loves food she can pick at. She enjoys strong flavours (she would have loved the savoury girl plate trend).

The future is bleak my love

A very, very special commission for an equally special person.  @brewess was the first person whose character I got to draw (because well she has the most amazing characters and it’s always  been instant love on my side!) ...AGES ago. I was just a wee lad, who had just arrived on scary tumblr land... here we are,some years after that day, older, none the wiser lol... and destiny wanted the first artwork to come out of my new computer to be for her, once again. Good omen, for sure. Anyway,

Elgar'nan's mouth remains in a down turned state of melancholy, but he gives slow short nods.

"Unbecoming. And insensitive." Elgar'nan adds, it's the closest she will get to an apology.

The All-Father reaches out for her hands, and Moro flinches, takes a step back.

"Not today Moro…do not fight me today…please…"

His voice comes out so tired and so forlorn. An appeal for her compassion. Moro exhales through her nose, hesitantly gives him her hand and let's him pull her close. "I was starting to think you kept using pet names because you didn't know my name."

Elgar'nan chuckles, though it lacks any of his usual arrogance or bravado. He takes her hands and guides her to cup his face, makes her hold him as his eyes shut and he basks in her touch. In this state Moro reflects and she thinks more than in any other moment she sees the tens of thousand and more years chiselled into his tired face.

She remarks to herself - gods forbid she say it out loud - but his behaviour reminded her so much of Solas. The seeking out of physical intimacy for grounding, reassurance. Feeling things so profoundly and so deeply it sometimes became too much to bare.

Was this the burden of eternity? A shackle that her father had escaped. Was his acceptance of what the world became that made him mortal? Izem may have died old and grey yet even he could not match the weariness she had to watch and comfort for men like Elgar'nan and Solas.

"The irony to infantalize us all, while you hide beneath my skirts."

Went back to read Estranged Lineage and realised there were sooooo many misspellings and grammar mistakes so that has been corrected (to the best of my ability)

😶 Who’s terrified of saying “meet my parents” & why?

💥 What’s the biggest risk one of them took for the other that the partner didn’t find out about until much later?

😘 Who kisses the other first thing in the morning, morning breath & all?

Ah, my favourite Angsty duo

😶 Who’s terrified of saying “meet my parents” & why?

Well, Solas doesn't have parents, so he will be put in that box LMAO

Doesn't help that Moro's dad is Elgar'nan's Champion who used to smack him around every now and then back in the "Good ol Days"! Plus Neither of them can bring up said-ancient elf situation so the whole "Meet my dad and get his blessing" is very tricky for both Solas and Izem to navigate XD

💥 What’s the biggest risk one of them took for the other that the partner didn’t find out about until much later?

Excluding the entire Inquisition storyline XD

On a cuter, more mundane level. Moro's vanity in Skyhold looks like an apothecary’s trove dedicated to looking after her hair and skin.

Solas was waiting for her in her room one evening and got far too nosy poking around the many bottles and oils and ruined some chamomile flowers she was processing and swaps in some Calendulas. He doesn't think she'll notice.

She did notice. But he keeps denying it (to this day).

😘 Who kisses the other first thing in the morning, morning breath & all?

Moro is an early riser. She always first to wake and always kisses his big bald head before getting out of bed.
