"Vhenan, I've missed you terribly."

obsessed with these banter lines

feels awkward to ask but had to shell out a lot of cash to help keep my family afloat when the tornado came thru. so if you would like to help keep me afloat the rest of the week it would be greatly appreciated. ko-fi

“Mages aren’t people like you or me,” Cullen says to Hawke, at his most self-important. This remark will never be forgotten.

“Remember, mages aren’t people like Cullen and Hawke,” Merrill will say pompously over wine, and then giggle. It’s still funny, six months later.

“Sadly I’m not a person like you or Cullen,” Anders will say deadpan, two years later, as he lights the bedroom fire with magic.

“You should all stop using magic, then you can be people like me or Cullen,” Hawke hollers over his shoulder at his friends, and throws a group of templars 100 ft in the air with force magic as he leads them through the Gallows.

#hawke looks a mage inquisitor dead in the eye while cullen oversees his troops not 20 ft away:#‘sadly you’re not a person like me or cullen’ they say loudly#cullen slowly turns his head. a horrified look on his face with slow realization

I wish more fanartists would put their work on AO3. Just followed an artist who organizes their work by making a series for Fandom X, and within that, they have multi-chapter works for different ships & gen. Every new chapter is just their latest image for that subject.

It's been so delightful not to have to wade through social media algorithms and endless ads.

If you've never posted fanart on AO3 before, you need to know that AO3 doesn't host images. That means you need to upload them somewhere else online and then embed them in your post. There's an FAQ that tells you how.

You can also upload your meta works to AO3! Got a 5K essay on cultural appropriation in Dragon Age? Or a multi-part work on queer subtext in the X-Men broken down by writer and era? Post it - we love to see it!

Fanfic may be the biggest part of the archive, but that’s not all it’s there for!

Yes yes yes yes!! And may I encourage people to use this tagging system:

"metafiction" - for self-aware fiction "meta analysis" - fannish nonfiction (also consider the "Essay" tag!)

Makes it easier to differentiate under the "meta" tag umbrella!

You can also post your fanvids there as well! Just make sure to host it somewhere else first (YouTube, video, etc)

I sit down. I open my doc. I crack my knuckles. I prepare to write. A tumbleweed blows across my completely empty mind. I close my laptop. I lay down. I die.

editing your own writing is like woah you really like commas........ maybe ease up on those commas there, pal........ maybe Fewer commas would be nice

hows the ellipses editing going?

……….why do you ask………

i was put on this earth to think about The Character.

What always intrigued me about the storyline with a romanced Solas is that Lavellan was so close to finding out the truth.

She must have had some suspicions before, but she never pushed him for the truth. She gave him time to open up on his own terms, to share when he was ready, which we know he almost did in Crestwood.

I wonder about the demons he fought in his head, the times duty came before love, while at the same time she made him question everything.

Such a tragic lovestory and no I’m still not over it it. :(
