Still Around Tumblr

Hey guys! I’m making this post because it didn’t seem fair to be on Tumblr without saying anything about it. I’m sure some people already know, but I’ve been on a different blog at yettinim.tumblr.com

It’s a purely strictly a Critical Role fan blog that I only made to reblog fan arts and I don’t really make any personal posts there- I’m still more active on my drawsshits twitter. But if you want to find me on Tumblr, that’s where I am!

Still Around Tumblr

Hey guys! I’m making this post because it didn’t seem fair to be on Tumblr without saying anything about it. I’m sure some people already know, but I’ve been on a different blog at yettinim.tumblr.com

It’s a purely strictly a Critical Role fan blog that I only made to reblog fan arts and I don’t really make any personal posts there- I’m still more active on my drawsshits twitter. But if you want to find me on Tumblr, that’s where I am!

Semi-Permanent Hiatus

The last drawing I uploaded, I’ve been struggling with it for months. I had the idea for it when I was taking my break off Tumblr, and have constantly struggled to work on it, finding motivation and energy. Tonight I finished it… because I thought it would be somewhat appropriate last drawing, and because many of you have cheered me on as I struggled with it, so I wanted to show you guys the finished drawing.

As some of you might know, I’ve been struggling with anxiety, specifically towards the Dragon Age fandom on Tumblr. I’ve tried to power through it all for the sake of the people that have sent me support and love, but I realized that I’m not going to get better if I keep engaging with people here.

I’ve given it a lot of thought in the last few days… and I tried to find reasons to keep going, and they were plenty. I’ve met really lovely people here, made some great friends and relationships that I hope will last. But as it happens sometimes in life, negativity, no matter how small it might be, rings louder for me above everything else right now. 

I’m really sorry to those of you that might be discouraged to see me leave Tumblr. I’ve always tried my best to make my interaction with people here a happy, positive one and I loved making content that made people happy. But I hadn’t felt that in a while now, and I think it’s best for me and best for everyone else that I stop being here. At least with this, I hope, that none of my friends will be getting backlash.

I do plan on returning, but I don’t know when it will be, or if I will return at all. I might be back in months, or I won’t ever come back. Regardless of that, I wanted to tell you all that I’ve had such a blast in this fandom and to thank you for supporting me and my art until now.

I’ll still be around on the Discord servers I’m in now, and I’ll still be on Twitter (@drawsshits) though Twitter will mostly be Korean. I won’t be deactivating this blog in case I do come back, but I’ll be switching urls to drawsshits-inactive.

I forgot to add, I’ll be taking down the Date a Day download link. But if you have the file, you’re free to share with whoever.

Thank you

Things I want in da4: Hawke/Alistair/stroud breaking tf out of the fade all nonchalantly like lol what did you think I was gone?

Things I don’t want in da4: Cullen. Please bioware, his story has run its course. He has a dog now (and maybe a family depending on your choices). His story is over. Leave him be. It’s oVeR

some bomb companion card-style art i got to do for @transorsino and @mirandaputtsherbestbuttforward (tumblr won’t let me tag her??? yikes)

these are low res and specifically for their RP shenanigans, so only they got the hi-res files. (for this reason, please don’t use these elsewhere!) it was SO MUCH FUN to do these, even though it took me a while to do because i work full time

thank you both for letting me work with you! <3

the pope, or as i like to call him, the hokage of the catholic church

honestly the Chantry recruiting templars from their orphanages, WHERE THEY PUT THE CHILDREN THEY TAKE FROM MAGES, is so fucked up

what do you think the Chantry tells those kids tho

Child: What happened to my parents?

Sister/Brother : *noncomittal grunt* *vague hand gesture*

I mean, there’s really only two options here: either they tell them “your parents are monsters and we took you away from them because you’re a monster too and monsters don’t deserve parents,” or they lie through their teeth and tell them “your parents didn’t want you” or, perhaps more kindly, “your parents are dead”

Of the these options I’m inclined to believe “your parents didn’t want you” is the most oft-repeated, since of the two cases we’ve seen of women giving birth in the Circle and being forced to give up the child (Wynne and Fiona,) both came with a hefty dose of victim-blaming towards the mother. In both cases the mother is made to feel guilty for “choosing” to give up the child even though there was no choice whatsoever.

Would the kids of mages ever find out?

The Templars could eventually see babies being taken from mages. And they have to ask permission to get married. Mages blooded ones could get told no.

Would mage born templars be warned they stand a greater risk for having mage kids?

If the chantry wants to cut down on the number of mages then they want to stop mage blooded people from “breeding” like they do for mages right??

That is the beauty of taking mage orphans as Templar recruits: it keeps them under the Chantry’s eye. They stay in the same prison, albeit on the other side of the bars. The Chantry will be able to keep close track of them and if they or any of their family ever shows signs of mage talent, they can be put right back in the Circle immediately.

Also, it’s possible that mage-blooded Templars are actually more effective at Templar skills. Alistair doesn’t even need lyrium to use them. Meredith (whose sister was a mage) gets final boss powers simply from proximity exposure to red lyrium. So that’s likely another reason why the Chantry would recruit Templars that way. Lyrium is expensive, and you don’t need as much for the not-quite-a-mage recruits and they’re easier to train.

now, that’s an interesting theory

I wish there was a side quest or war table mission or even a full plot twist where the inquisitor would find the records of all these families who were essentially bred out of existence (because the key to this level of surveillance would be impeccable records) and have the choice to publish these records for the rebel mages to find their parents, their children, their siblings either within their own sides or out in the world or even on the other side. Templars would know why they were denied permission to marry. Both sides would have to reconcile this new layer to their identity: “My son is a templar in Kirkwall.” “I have siblings in the Montsimmard Circle.”

And when both sides have grieved and raged and reconnected they would look at the Chantry who did this to them—who pitted them against each other for no easily defensible reason—and burn it down.

I had a theory that Leliana as Divine does this.

i had to keep the feather look somehow so i went with furry hood but no one is saying this isnt also part of anders’ wardrobe
