As someone with a shelter dog that does exactly this, out of the blue? Whenever? Highly likely lol

Poor kid (4mth old wire haired pointer) had absolutely no concept of time whenever she napped on her big brother (a 90lbs akita, aka living furnace) and she is now, as of a few days ago, 2yrs old

I love the genre of picture “animal that clearly just woke up from a fat nap”

Why am I crying laughing in a Wegman’s?

me, eating a pile of nuts, cheese, and apple: mmmm tasty

the medieval peasant in my head watching me eat: thou knowst what would MAKETH this meal? dried fruits.

me, getting out the raisins: god damn, etheldred, you are SO right

the medieval peasant in my head: yet thou art still not heeding mine words regarding the blasphemy

post-veilguard life rookanis idk how to caption this

Hey, this’s a little random, but I’m rewatching LOKI and had a thought. What could Mobius have possibly done to become a Variant? Single dad of two boys who sold rec vehicles?

But then, I started thinking about his character. How patient, but firm he is. His good advice and who his wife might’ve been, right? He lived in the suburbs with his boys and based on his age (we’ll say roughly 40 something?)

And who else is around that age, living alone with a boy in need of a paternal figure?

What if his wife was May Parker? What if Mobius is a variant of Uncle Ben, if he and May had been able to have kids of their own and left New York to raise their boys in the burbs before Peter Parker was orphaned? Too far to be able to take him or maybe May died shortly before and he didn’t think he could handle a 3rd kid…?

That’s certainly something that would’ve broken the “canon,” especially if moving away inadvertently caused May to die somehow (ex: car accident or something), right? Great advice, positive teaching style, quick to bond with tricky/witty vigilante types?

This’s probably been done a hundred times already on this site, but it’s just a thought I had.

Just picturing something like:

Ben getting the call that his brother and sister-in-law are dead. He’s had to make the hardest decision of his life, but for the good of his boys and Peter, he thinks he made the right one. He’s not a rich man. The house already has two mortgages, the dealership is barely getting by as it is. Looks down at his wedding ring on a chain around his neck, thinking there was no possible way he could do it on his own and then? He sets the phone back on the hook and there’s TVA agents in his living room. Placing a reset charge on his coffee table and demanding he come with them for judgement.

For costing his universe the creation of an anchor being, like Spider-Man.

Also, could you imagine Loki trying to help Mobius save a version of his universe by raising Peter Parker together in a universe where both Ben and May died (like how Miguel tried to replace Gaby’s dad, except actually helpful?) Showing up to PTA meetings, just Ben Parker and his new very tall, elegantly goth, vaguely European husband?

Loki becomes PTA President, of course. Makes his own presidential sash. Mobius gets way too hyped about bake sales/food drives/blood drives/toys for tots. Loki judging the science fair. Showing up to debate club contests to cheer way too loud. Both of them having to act surprised when Peter starts sneaking in late until it finally comes out and they have to be like “Ooooh, nooo! We’re floored! Totally stunned! Hoooowww could we have missed this?!”

Then, Loki helps him make a real suit, because “no child of his is going be a vigilante AND a fashion disaster.”

Loki eventually coming out as a Frost Giant to make Peter feel less like a freak in some teary-eyed heart to heart about how difficult it is to let “normal” people close to them.

Just saving the world by being embarrassing, loving father figures together in the sort of open, honest family that Loki’s always wanted (cue his angst about immortality).

romancing lucanis - a story told in memes

Solas, you absolute trash man. You goof. You dweeb.

See this? The lute in his hideout under the Lady of Glory statue? See what’s at the top there…?

This homeless loser bought a lute with his own fucking face on it. He wanted to get caught so fucking badly he walked into a store and either picked this shit out or worse, had it custom made. This’s the medieval equivalent of Vanilla Ice getting his own face tattooed on his back. I hate him.

(He’s one of my favorite fictional characters ever)

My new Inquisitor! Mir’renan Lavellan!

Warrior, best friends with Cassandra, basically adopted Dorian after telling his dad to eat shit 💚

One of the many reasons, I will argue that this is his best armor set and should’ve been his heroic one. Totally unique to him and so Spite themed/ Spite positive. It’s just encompasses their entire relationship and looks so good with the wings out.

Lucanis' corset lives rent free in my brain

Finished my first play through with my Crow!Rook!

I’m devastated! My Lavellan’s happy ending broke my heart and the Lucanis romance is wonderful!

But am I gonna take a break? No, not for a second!

Warden Var’fen “Rook” Thorne reporting for duty!

Her parents left her clan during the Fifth Blight, after they fought with the other Dalish in Denerim and King Alistair refused to honor his promise of land to the Elves. Offering their skills to the Grey Wardens as trackers in the Anderfels where she’d discover her magic and live as an apostate. Training to be a healer with Warden Mages until they invited her to join them on a trip to the newly emerged Kal-Sharok and stumbled into a nest of Darkspawn.

Barely managing to clear them out, but not before Var’fen was blighted and subsequently took the Joining at the age of 23. Suffering a rare side effect of the ritual that turned the sclera of her eyes black. Meeting Varric shortly thereafter and at 24, using a fake last name since joining the Wardens, they would make their move against the Dread Wolf.

Doing whatever it took to stop his ritual…

Her likes include:

*Cioccolata calda ☕️ (never had chocolate until Varric bought her a cup and was addicted ever since)

*Dogs 🐶 (left mabari, Josa behind with her family when she left to hunt Solas)

*Rocks 🪨 💎 (picks up a pebble or crystal wherever she goes. Most are just cool looking lumps of granite)

*Giving gifts to friends 🎁 (gifts may or may not be pebbles that “remind her of them” and no, she will never explain what she means)

*Harts 🦌(her parents raise them for mounts to herd halla. Brought them along from Ferelden to the Anderfels when they moved)

*Smoking Elfroot 🍃(helps with period pain; bad before, but the Joining made it worse)

Her dislikes include:

*The Chantry ⛪️(only got her vallaslin to keep Templars from dragging her off to a Circle)

*Dracolisks 🦎(saw one lick its own eye like a gecko once and never recovered. Scarred for life)

*Cooked vegetables 🥦 (if it’s slimy? She will die before eating it, but likes salads, carrots and has been yelled at more than once for shuffling around the pantry/kitchen, eating a whole bell pepper/cucumber/tomato, like a rabbit)

*Taxes 💵(self-explanatory)

Who she’ll romance:

This dapper gentleman, whom she met once before while recruiting conscripts in Nevarra City. Bumping into him on her way out of the city dungeon while he was leaving the morgue after corpse-whispering to help solve a murder. Never exchanged a word, but she remembered his polite apology (the first she’d ever received from a Shem) for nearly knocking her over and he remembered her eyes.

*Veilguard Thought*

“Feather Brigade,”

Davrin, you big fucking nerd (affectionate)

Veilguard Spoiler (Cute!)

Just visited Holden and his daughter Mila in Hossberg and you know what banter I just got?

Holden asks his daughter if they’ve earned a treat that day, she of course agrees and the dad essentially says “Good, cause Rook’s Crow friend brought me some cioccolata calda.”

Lucanis went out of his way to purchase, package and hand deliver luxury coco (you know it’s not cheap, he’s Rockefeller level rich) to a child he met exactly one time in the middle of a battle to thank her for saving their lives. What a sweetheart. What an angel. Pookie bird. Love of Rook’s life.

I can’t not marry this caffeine-addicted bird man.

Veilguard Spoilers (Harding)

So, I’ve decided I’m always gonna take Lucanis on Harding’s personal quest, because she says this little line:

“We will thrive, in spite of you.”

Which reminds me of the Hebrew proverb:

“Living well is the best revenge.”

And to me? In my mind? As my Rook and Lucanis both embrace her as she’s having this revelation and in saying that? It feels like Spite was there, too. Giving her the little nudge she needed to power through the bulwark of her grief, as Lace Harding. Not just a Child of the Stone. To live her life as a wholly free Dwarf that no longer requires the presence of the Titans in order to be “enough.”

To become her own person and truly be.

Because it’s hinted/shown in the art book that the Dwarves already existed when the Titans were walking around, but solely served as the caretakers of their giant bodies. Sort of swarming out of them like ants to clean up the hive after a storm.

So, maybe the sundering of the Titans granted them freedom? Free will, even if it came without dreams or magic? Certainly something to think about.

My favs 💕

Little more of my Crow!Rook, cause I got the Lords of Fortune fit. Viago’s reluctantly proud of her for almost slaying the dragon and saving Treviso.

Ever make a Lavellan so beautiful that when you finally see her in-game, you get goosebumps? Solas is about to be devastated when he sees her again…

Also, gonna add my Crow!Rook as a bonus cause she’s gorgeous and gonna romance Lucanis :)

Christine “Rook” De Riva 🐦 🔪

Some of the street performers in Dragon Age: The Veilguard are people with fushigi balls who, I can only guess, are pretending to be mages and I love them SO MUCH

Only if you forget to cherish him 💜💀💚

Definitely don’t picture him standing there in shock for a few seconds. Don’t imagine that split second he needs to process Rook is gone. Really, don’t delve into the way Spite came to realize it, too. Given the demon originally has no sense of space/object permanence (banter with Emmerich) and has to very quickly come to terms with the sudden grief, and fear, and unbridled rage overcoming his host.

Probably the closest they’ve ever come (apart from Illario’s betrayal) to going full demon and almost everyone was on eggshells around him. Guaranteed, Harding and Belara were keeping those enchanted arrows close. Just in case he fell too far into himself to come back as the Lucanis that they know.

The Lucanis who was willing to kill any god Rook wanted in the name of safety he could no longer provide…

Reality so utterly out of their control, again…

But can you imagine. Lucanis on the high of finally landing his shot at ghilan'nain. That moment of anxious disbelief thinking "I did it, we did it, she's dead, Rook is safe" only to have Rook suddenly ripped away just gone into nothing, the Dread Wolf carving his way out in their place. Solas gives his "price of winning" speech to Rook but it's Lucanis who was left untethered in his fear and anguish.

Imagine how feral he probably went in those hours after. Spite howling at the forefront, wings thrashing, throat hoarse from yelling. This isn't something he can fight- it's not even a cloud face, it's just nothing. A void where Rook was meant to be. Taash is too lost in their own grief to bring Spite to heel and so it's left up to Davrin and Neve to keep Lucanis from mauling Emmrich as he rages with two voices at the mage to FIND THEM. FIND ROOK. BRING ROOK BACK (they were supposed to be safe)

*Solas Thoughts*

So, in Inquisition, the combat AI had everyone, including Mages (traditionally glass cannons) running straight into the fight.

And somebody mentioned a headcannon about Solas, thinking about this system. Assuming you didn’t direct your characters individually, like chess pieces. Wondering if the reason Solas specifically did it, was because he was used to using a dagger and orb (the lyrium dagger and the foci orb), the way Mage!Rook can in DA: the Veilguard.

Would definitely fit, right? You never see him with a staff in the flashbacks and why would a staff-wielding Mage (presumably support/back rank, not vanguard) need to wear a full chest plate, pauldrons and gloves that protect his lower forearms/wrists. Not to mention, in a banter with Blackwall/Rainier in Inquisition, he mentions being “hot-blooded and cocky” as a youth. “Always ready to fight.”

Doesn’t seem like a support role to me and he’s the Dread Wolf. God of Trickery? Treachery?

Sounds an awful lot like a multi-class Rogue to me…

*Veilguard Thought*

So, not really a spoiler. More of a headcannon related to a banter. Lucanis tells Taash he has a pet snake. One that, one would assume, was kept by the Crows while he was trapped in the Ossuary.

No idea what kind, but did he bring it with him to the Lighthouse?

And if so, does it live in Harding’s greenhouse???

Cause she’s the only other dedicated Rogue (Belara is a mage who happens to use a bow) and she’s used to animals, right? I just picture her working in there at the beginning, pulling out all the dead stuff/planting new sprouts and a little corn or king snake just slithers up and she has a heart attack, cause she doesn’t know it’s a real (because they’re in the Fade).

And Lucanis (freshly recruited and very tired) just spends the next several days apologizing, cause it’s the only place warm enough and he can’t rightly keep it in the pantry with him. So, they end up compromising.

He buys a tank for her to put the snake in at night and she lets it wander the garden during the day to eat bugs and mice that might wanna nibble on her plants.

And just to add into my own post, a kiss in the rain?Wings out? Just leaning into Rook, like his life depends on it…???

*Veilguard Spoilers(sorta)*

Just saw another tweet with some concept/story boarding art from Lucanis’s romance…???

Fanfic girlies take notes (I am girlies)

His wings were supposed to pop out during/ to interrupt a kiss? Romance scene in a gondola? Possible multiple sets of wings when he’s really pissed/Spite’s crashing out? A lake scene? (Possibly at his family estate…???)

So many ideas…

good morning how do i kill the yearning before it kills me

*Veilguard Spoilers*

So, Emmerich Volkarin.

Alfred+Gomez+Doctor Frankenstein=✨husband✨

I get it. Totally get it.

One thing though? Saw a tweet after running around his room a little confused, wondering where this man sleeps and you know what? I think this diva sleeps on his autopsy table. It might be stone, but he probably cleans it off, rolls out a futon, crosses his hands over his chest, like a vampire in a Victorian night shirt and long cap, and just nods right off into adorably morbid dreams.

Pookie is absolutely about the ✨goth vibes✨

Plus, I mean? We already know what he gets up to in coffins…

Headcanon about the toning down of the Crows in Veilguard.

If we think about ages of Teia/Viago/Illario and Lucanis (and Rook, if that's your HC), they're all (roughly) the same age, right? And I would imagine not much different in age to Zevran, who's been messing with the Crows since DAO.

So what if they're the 'next generation', and perhaps agree with "oh shit, what the Crows used to do was awful, we've got to do better". Teia does have some hero worship of Caterina going on, sure, but I like to think that this generation of Talons is actually doing much better than their predecessors thanks to Zevran clearing the way for them and showing them they can do better.

Ugh, I dunno, I just want to feel hopeful in this little space because I'm very much enjoying Crow!Rook

*Veilguard Spoilers*

So, Lucanis Dellamorte is in like his early 30’s? And his parents were Crows, said they died like Crows (on the job), when he and Illario were little and around the time Zevran returned to Antiva to take on the Talons, he would’ve been maybe 10?

What I’m getting at here, is that Zevran did some stuff so heinous to the Crows that he has a standing contract on his head that nobody’s brave/stupid enough to accept (there’s a note about the contract in game for a Crow with sexual prowess and an impossible contract) and what could’ve been that bad? Perhaps, killing the First Talon’s daughters/sons-in-law?

There’s at least some chance it was him, right…?

Anybody else creeped out when friends of their parents (50+ yr olds) come up out of the blue and say “Man, if I was 20 yrs younger” or something along those lines, as if it’s a compliment? Like you, a middle aged/old man, just came up to a 22 yr old in front of her mother and essentially said you were sexually attracted to them. In public. Yet my Mom’s standing there like it’s just a cute folksy thing to say.

Once more for those in the back.
