This journal is for a variety of things, including me talking about fandom stuff, going insane over my sewing projects, and the occasional life update.

Please note: my language will be that of a sailor at times, so be warned!

I've been struggling with writer's block despite having the URGE

but a friend bullied me back into art and I've done a full page of my Grey Warden hehehe
glitteringstars: (writing 2)

Hawke is nowhere to be found.

It’s like Varric’s soul had been ejected from his body and a spirit is piloting it; Varric shoves past bodies closing in around the Inquisitor—too close, he cannot breathe. When Enid’s gaze meets him, the elven woman freezes. She’s ashen and sweaty.

“Where’s Hawke?”

He sounds like a lost child, even to his own ears.

Where’s Sorley, Enid?”

Enid’s expression breaks and hardens in one jerk of her head. She walks past him, momentarily pressing her hand onto his shoulder. She squeezes it then walks forward, her voice sharp and solid as she announces the cost of their victory.

 




GUESS WHICH BITCH GOT TO THAT CHOICE! GUESS WHO CHOSE SAD VARRIC HOURS! AGAIN!!


All silliness aside, I am in an angsty-writing mood, and that turning point feels absolutely rife with fun little moments. This WIP doesn't quite have a title, but it's definitely going to be a lose collection of stories centered around the aftermath of the Fort Adamant assault. So far, planned plotlines include:
  • Varric & Cassandra interactions. I ship these fuckers so hard, though I think a lot of this will be solely platonic relationship building. Unless
  • Blackwall's whole personal quest and his relationship with my Inquisitor, Enid. In the game, he always places her on such a pedestal, so I think it'll be fun to have that get a little broken when it comes to Enid's backstory lol
  • My Hero of Fereldan just showing the fuck up. I know why Bioware didn't want to insert the Warden into Inquisition, but I really think it a missed opportunity. Like??? Morrigan, Leliana, and Cullen are all there, so there's some very funny interactions that could happen. Also Fiona getting absolutely fucking grilled by a Alistair-romanced Grey Warden.
  • Morrigan just avoiding the Warden because the last proper interactions they've had was "let me bang your boyfriend" and "what do you mean we're still friends????" Like, how the FUCK do you recover from that?
  • I also have a fun Iron Bull/Warden interaction (read: non-romantic smut) twirling in my brain. So many characters involved with this scene are bad with feelings lmao
  • Anders not having a good time with Hawke's death. How much of a plot point is it beyond references are a bit beyond me atm, but it'll still be there.

So, I've recently took a dive into the other DA media and whoops.

My friend bullied peer pressured me into picking up the Dragon Age RPG core rule book, which is really cool to just peak through. The art they've pulled seems like it's from across the years and included Inquisition. Anyway, I'll be reading it down the line.

I've also picked up the first two novels, and my lord, I love what I've read of book one so I scoured thriftbooks for the last three. So far, my favorite characters have been Rowan of Redcliffe and the surprise Shale appearance. It continues this series strange obsession with cheese gags, though in a more throwaway line way than the silly Easter eggs.

I've also lucked out on getting a few random graphic novels at the local brick and mortar thrift bookshops because I refuse to give EA and Bioware any more money because fuck them for what they did to the team on the whole lol I'll probably make a proper post on my thoughts as I go through the series on the whole.

EDIT 3/4/2026: I have book 3 on the way and 4 & 5 ordered (THRIFTBOOKS, PLEASE GIVE ME THE SHIPPING CONFIRMATION I BEG OF THEE), but I apparently missed that Tevinter Nights is a novel (er, rather, short-story collection) rather than a graphic novel. Guess I need to shell out for the sixth book because it's probably a regular paperback rather than mass market.

I am 220 pages into The Stolen Throne, and I'm already annoyed with the how the romantic subplot is being handled. I love me a romantic subplot but ugh not a fan of what it's done to Rowan. What do you mean Maric just no-guilt sleeps with a "random" woman and Rowan is left to be a good betrothed?? Out of curiosity, I read up on her fate and what do you mean she's fridged for The Calling?

Fuck you, justice for Rowan!

Also, I'm having a hard time believing Rowan and Maric are in love. Their betrothal feels a bit more lavender-coded. May eventually play around with a mostly-canon compliant fic centered around her and give her death a bit more dignity. And the attempts at yearning need to go harder. Duty vs love is a great theme for everyone, I wish it leaned a bit harder on it.

What i do like about it, though, is the general dynamic between Maric, Lorraine, and Rowan. They're great, I love them, and Loghain has two hands.

You know what's fun? Laying down in a dark room, throwing on a flashlight, and making shadow puppets for the cats

2/2 of my assholes have been mildly entertained by it. The little one gets particularly annoying about it tho, especially when I want to READ DAMN IT

Being ass deep in CRPGs for the last year makes me wanna do OC posting. I have so many just from playing the Baldur's Gate series and Dragon Age series. i also kinda want to revisit some of the OCs I made as a tween which I still think held up with their base ideas but fell theough on execution or were Digimon OCs that I wanna explore as someone closer to my age, much like when I first wrote them.

Also do more poking at the no-longer-Genshin-Impact story that keeps nudging me expectantly. Oh, the hard times of being an adult with not enough time on their hands

Looks like itch.io creators hit the time for Big Bundle for Fundraising/Charity button!!

No ICE in Minnesota has over 650 contributors with over 1.4k items, including indie games, physical games (TTRPGS, journalling, etc), ebooks, and other misc items. For just $10 USD, you can get all this and the proceeds go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

I've bought one of these mega bundles years ago, and I still haven't really gone through everything five years later. I'll admit, it's a bit overwhelming (lol) but it's really fucking cool!

Also, because it's itch.io, the $10 USD is just the "minimum," so you can toss in as much as you want.
