Yall I have a #dragonage question: is the anchor technically canonically always glowing even when in-game there are limitations on that cause of the graphics? Cause if so I'll be mad (Bull is gonna look like a lamp post in my WIP and it look dumb) (it's 5:30am don't judge me)

WIP still not done and unfortunately I have to sleep but dammit I will post my progress

I try to hide little nuggets of hidden meaning and characterization in my art even when it's porn and sometimes I frustrate myself cause I feel like things would look better another way, but I made it the way I did for a thematic reason.... ;u; idk it's 4:30am and I'm painting sweat beads.

WIP sorry I'm not even close to being done but Mithra has the prettiest sex face in the world and everyone should know

Polyamory.

Writing Mithra is like writing an unruly child, like I wrote you to romance Solas but you and Bull are LIKE THAT. And then I'm like maybe you should romance him then and she's like "nah I have undying devotion to The Egg" and it's like gurl. What are we doing here? Suffering.

Forgot to take off the tip of his other finger fuck my life

These two are not beating the allegations....

I'm working on putting Mithra and Shishi in the foreground, but it means I have to block the view of a lot of... THIS. And I had to share it before I did all that.

It's the same for both Solas and Bull actually: their empathy and understanding and how safe they make her feel. That's the sexiest thing to her. Physical traits aren't that important to her in terms of sexiness, but she does think both of them have cute ears and pretty eyes. Well, Bull's... eye.

She loves KNOWING gossip, but not telling other people's business. Storing the knowledge until she gets too drunk to remember what are secrets and what aren't. "Haha yeah like how Cass reads Swords and Shields and doesn't want you to kno- OH FUCK"

It's so normal she doesn't even mention it. She doesn't canonically label it or put words to it. She sort of comes out to Dorian when he comes out to her cause she's like "oh I mean I like people of the same sex too, why is that bad?? Wtf is wrong with your father"

She doesn't really believe marriage is for her in a traditional sense, even with her devotion to Solas. She'd also rather not take part in a ceremony so intimate and personal as a wedding. It just seems unnecessary to her.

She's a cis woman but so many people have misgendered her or otherwise that she's kind of ambivalent to pronouns. If you asked, she'd probably shrug and be like "whatever you think is best idc". She enjoys feeling feminine sometimes but it makes her feel vulnerable as well.

"The next time you have to mourn, you don't need to be alone."

Give me broad freckled shoulders, light body hair, and all over vallaslin please. And DAtV still doesn't allow you to make a 6ft tall elf!!! URGH!!!

She believes she allowed all the awful things that have happened to her because she's weak. It's not true at all. (Based on canon events in my life and shit I have to remind myself of all the time)

Burying Sera or Bull in sand or playing chicken in the water while simultaneously being the group lifeguard. If she and Solas are together, she's bringing him on an adventure to examine tidepool critters.

Modern AU: Krem helps Bull bring Mithra a full fuckin basket of shit cause they're both real ones like that. I love those stupid boys. Various jars of pickles and olives and eggs, a heating pad, one of those pillows that you can lay upright in bed with. Hell yeah.

Post-Conclave was basically jail yeah? But that's the only real time.

For her personally, full nudity is sort of terrifying, but shirtlessness is great. She feels like nudity is just a normal natural thing. It doesn't bother or shock her. And gender doesn't matter either.

She actually really doesn't like being called by any of her titles. Just Mithra is fine. Mithra Hallen if you're being cutesy with it. (NSFWish) (She would deny vehemently how much she likes being called a good girl or anything of the sort)

She doesn't like sweets normally, they make her face ache. She loves everything pickled and sour and bitter.

She's usually not that silly with Solas actually. Not yet anyhow. She does challenge him and bicker with him sometimes, but not purposeful teasing. In contrast, she fucks with Bull all the time. Grabbing him by the beard and telling him to shave mostly. She bites him a lot just to be annoying.

Her sister Tamaris, hands down. She thinks about her every day. That was her first baby sister, her best friend. Tamaris looked up to her and wanted to be just like her. UGH it makes me ill.

I'm sure when she and Solas finally get together it'll be insane. And likely in the Fade too, holy shit. Good for them. When she and Bull first had sex, she was sobbing with relief and catharsis afterwards. She got to feel vulnerable and small, but completely safe and respected at the same time.

Usually she tries very hard to not be, but ignorance makes it accidentally common. She can be very rude and snarky on purpose to enemies ofc. She actually tries to be quite proper with people she respects.

She and Solas are kind of tethered by a red string in my canon, but any other timeline sure! I love picturing her in happier AUs lmao (I have an AU where she lets herself fall for Bull, so it wouldn't be so crazy)

A lot of things she carries, her heart is heavy af. The death of her clan, Solas, guilt for using Bull, guilt for the people she's killed, not feeling good enough. Even letting Morrigan drink from the well is something she feels some type of way over. Not even mentioning her early traumas.

In-universe, I think people like how much she seeks to understand and relate to others, even if she has some underlying prejudices borne of trauma. She's also funny and has that Autistic Girl charm.

She uses Bull to get over Solas and chases that egg like a sad puppy, so jot that down. I think some might misunderstand the complexities of her relationship with her abuser, which would... maybe hurt me a little personally since it's based on my actual life lmao BIG oof

Alistair is bisexual. All the Origins companions are bisexual. Origins is gayer now. *slams my gavel down*

She'd totally want to be a dragon, but that's such an OP option. Flying would be nice, so barring that, an eagle or hawk. (She's called the Hare of Andruil but that's a title she just accepts, something she simply is. She wouldn't want to take the form of a hare because she already feels like one.)

Mostly yes. She has a big praise kink, but sometimes Bull is corny as hell and she just puts his mouth to better use elsewhere. She does like it when he speaks Qunlat and has no idea what he's saying. I'm sure whenever she and Solas do end up having sex she'd be really into it. Especially in Elvhen.

Her siblings would say she's the best big sister ever and much more a mother to them than their actual mom. She can't have kids, and it upset her at first, but now she feels like she'd just ruin the lives of any children she ended up having anyway. Modern AU where the siblings send her cards for MD

The thing about leading a cause with an army is that you have to make decisions that end people's lives. It's a necessary evil. She tries to redeem everyone she can, save everyone she can, but she can't save everyone. Not even the people she loves most.

My HoF is a lying cheating bastard, my Hawke is a sneaky lil guy, and Mithra is just caught in the middle having luck in all the wrong places. She wins somehow. She deserves one every once in a while to keep her from losing her damn mind.

(With Nika taking a break I can catch up muahaha) She feels a bit of survivor's guilt when she starts getting gray hairs. Her sister Tamaris will never get old and it hurts. She feels responsible. Not to mention all the lives she's cut short intentionally because they were just on the wrong side.

Egg and his big buff gf #solavellan

I have a really unpopular opinion. Bull's small for a qunari. That does not mean truly small by any means, I just think it's reasonable enough for him to be so popular. The dude is huge and a giving lover, I just think it makes sense for him to be of a PLEASING size, not an unwieldy monster.

A beauceron cause buff working dog and OMFG LOOK HOW PRETTY THEY ARE

Mithra, Bull (with one horn out a window and the other jammed through the sun roof), Sera, and Blackwall blasting everything from heavy metal to girlypop. They stop every 30 minutes to pet horses and stuff. This image heals me.

She can fall asleep anywhere at any time in almost any position, which is good because the sleep is almost never restful anyway. She will sleep sitting up with her back against the wall and her knees tucked up to her chest when she's in pain.

Every time I start a new #dragonage Inquisition playthrough I remember how much time your inky spends just... unconscious, being taken care of by strangers. Mithra "I'm not bleeding I'm fine" Lavellan losing her absolute shit every time she wakes up surrounded by humans.

Fall of the Magister is a bop but that's every inky's hype song to me. I made her a reaver dragon rage playlist and my favorite song on it is Slaughterhouse by Harpy. Very much the perfect song for a reaver spec girlie such as herself.

I kinda want her to give more of them nicknames. It'll come to me. She does call Bull "big guy" and obviously Solas vhenan, so that sort of counts. Maybe this 3rd/4th playthrough will bring me more characterization ideas. (I'm playing it on multiple platforms rn I'm not insane I promise)

Me: *minding my fucking business* My brain: hey wouldn't it be fucked up if during the Fade Fear Demon sequence, it was real trauma instead of spiders

I was going to draw something for this but then I was at work forever 🥲 Mithra is pansexual and has a weird relationship with her gender identity but is too afraid to think about it for long.

Oh shit I deleted the clothed ref my bad lemme just-

I've decided 3am is a perfectly acceptable time to post nudes, so here's my vallaslin ref ig
