I'm not sure if this is weird, but... Lucrezia is really good at connecting emotionally through physical intimacy. Lucanis is, IMO, Demi, so the emotional part of sexual contact is just as important as the physical part. If that makes sense. I don't know if it does or not.

Yeah, she sees all of them as often as possible. She has tea with Bellara and Emmerich. She, Taash, and Harding go hunting and camping together. Neve has she and Lucanis on the Thedosian version of Speed dial, because there are always asshole Tevinters that need to be dealt with on a permanent basis

#daOCqotd After the events of their game, does your OC keep in touch with their companions? Who do they miss the most? Is there someone they don't miss at all? Someone they never see again after the game?

It depends on what you believe is cringe, I suppose. There are some that say Lucrezia's addiction to walking around the Lighthouse in her pink fuzzy slippers and fluffy nug ears headband is cringe. Lucanis thinks it's incredibly cute, though.

Lucrezia really liked the Necropolis. She likes the idea that Nevarra kept it's cultural heritage intact through the keeping of it's traditions surrounding death. It fascinated her as much as it weirded her out.

Happy Birthday @willynilly123.bsky.social I hope that you have the best day ever! Thank you for bringing Lucanis to life for me.

Lucrezia was 7 years old and Viago caught her trying to pickpocket him. She was a tiny little human girl who was so skinny that she only had one side. So he took her home and trained her to be an assassin. "You're my sister now. A De Riva. You'll never be hungry again. I promise."

#daOCqotd How or why did your Rook join their faction? Did they choose it themselves? Alternatively, for non-Rooks: What faction would they be, if you played Veilguard with them?

Lucrezia cries pretty easily. Viago always thought that it was a weakness in an assassin, but Lucanis disagrees.

Lucrezia's handwriting is very precise in more formal communications. Her journal is a hot mess with things all over the margins. It's barely legible and uses abbreviations and drawings. She considers it a code of sorts. Lucanis understands the code perfectly, though.

No, not really. She was trained to work in the shadows. She's not isn't someone that likes being in the public eye. She doesn't want to be out in front. She grows into her ability to lead, but she's not comfortable there.

Before joining Varric and the Veilguard, Lucrezia went naked. Afterward, since there was no telling when the shit would hit the fan, she started wearing a linen top and some loose, drawstring trousers.

Lucrezia would enjoy Assassin's Creed, probably Odyssey the most. She'd also play Greedfall. But... her real fun, the ones that Lucanis loves to watch her play, are the LEGO games where she can smashy, smashy everything. She gets so excited when she plays those.

The consensus is that Lucrezia is very scary when she wants to be. She tries very hard not to be. It's hard to assassinate someone when they run away from you. She prefers to appear harmless and fluffy because it makes it easier to do her job.

Cullen thinks Kit takes foolish risks and he's right about that. Kit thinks that Cullen is a workaholic who won't eat or sleep enough. She's right about that, too. The disagreements happen when one or the other does something stupid and the fight is about "Why did you think that was a good idea?"

Lucrezia and Lucanis don't argue about a lot. Mostly it's that both of them think that the other is bad about taking care of themselves. Lucanis doesn't sleep enough or take enough down time, and Lucrezia forgets to eat and take breaks when she's working.

Lucrezia does not have a pet. She loves dogs though. She travels too much to have one. Kit has a Jack Russell Terrier named FenHarel. Named before she met Solas. Mabari names are Slobber and Drool respectively. Oh, Kit's JRT is based on my own JRT mix. His name is FenHarel as well.

Cats were domesticated about 10,000 years ago, when wild cats encountered the first human settlements and saw an opportunity to constantly be in the way

The wonderful man that you are 😭🥹 @willynilly123.bsky.social You have no idea how much I needed these words of advice & encouragement!! Thank you SO much! When I have a bad day I will do a shoulder shimmy and think of you! 😘🥰🥹 #lucanisdellamorte #zachmendez #cameo #illysm #mierda

Lucrezia likes to sketch. She uses her sketches for embroidery which she is very good at. When she was training to be a Crow, she figured out that women plying a needle gets ignored. So when she's watching a mark, she often does embroidery so she isn't noticed while watching.

I made a couple dozen Cordial Cherries today. It's a holiday tradition for me. I started it, and it will probably not be passed on, but I'm okay with it. I enjoy it.

Lucrezia would meet the first person she assassinated. She never forgot the look on his face when she put the knife in his chest. It was a look of betrayal, even though she didn't know him.

If that's it, and I don't think that it is, perhaps if men actually offered that support, single women would be willing to date them. Too many men are unwilling to support women in any substantial physical, emotional, or financial way.

A big part of it is the found family aspect. Each Protag makes their own version of family out of others that need or want to find family. For those of us that didn't come from families of origin that were healthy, knowing that found families are out there is wonderful and fun.

Lucrezia calls Lucanis "Amante." If I remember my high school Spanish, it means lover in Antivan. Lucanis calls her Luci. Everyone else calls her Zia, but he just has to be different. He starts using it before they're a couple. Vi corrects him only to get Teia's elbow to his ribs. She knows.

Kit Trevelyan is almost infamous in the Free Marches for her ability to get her brothers into and out of trouble while keeping herself out of the frame. She was 5 when she planned the heist of Sister Benedicta's smalls and hung them on the statue of Andraste in the Ostwick Chantry.

Trouble seems Lucrezia. As Viago says, "She doesn't spend her money on knives, pretty trinkets, or pretty boys. If she's not kept busy trouble happens." She doesn't go looking for it, but when it happens she's there for it, and enjoying the hell out of it.

I only have 2 OCs that could qualify. Lucrezia is freaky only because she gets bored easily and has done some really weird shit to amuse herself. Zarah Adaar is in love with Iron Bull, and convinces Dorian that there is enough of Bull to share... Nuff said about that.

My OCs don't follow any religion. Most don't have a problem with believing that there is a Maker, but they don't believe that the Chantry represents either Him or Andraste. My Qunari, Zarah, is devoutly agnostic. Kit Trevelyan and Maisy Hawke are anti-Chantry. Sofia and Lucrezia don't really care.

Lucrezia de Riva is scared of snakes. She stays away from snakes. Kit is afraid of men who wants to marry her. She punches noble men. Maisie is afraid of geese. She kills all geese on sight, or has Beth kill them. Sophie is afraid of Harlequins. She stays out of Orlais.

All of mine do needlework, knitting, and crocheting. They all do it for different reasons, but they all enjoy it a lot.

Sophia is a bad ass Warden Rogue. She'd have punched him in the face in Haven, then gone back out to find the Cure. Maisie Hawke would have been an absolute disaster. Leliana would have been amused, Josephine in tears, and Cullen would have his palm permanently attached to his face.

Lucrezia fell in love with Lucanis over late night coffees. He was trying to stay awake to keep Spite from taking over, and she wanted him to feel safe enough to fall asleep so she sat with him. They talked about everything.

Sophia was annoyed. Got her king and got to be queen. Maisie just wanted to drink and have sex with the broody elf. Life got in the way. Kit is just wondering who thought that making her the Inquisitor was a good idea. Lucrezia just wants to stab the bad guys and go home with Lucanis.

What they don’t seem to get is that normal people hate pedophiles regardless of their political affiliation.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

My current Rook.

I made Beignets. They are tasty. I am happy with a tummy full of Beignets.

Hey you... Yeah, you... Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Loosen your neck muscles and hydrate a bit. I know it's hard, but we'll hold hands and get through it together. I see you. I know it's hard.

Today's bread. Sourdough.

I made bread yesterday. Isn't it pretty?

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

I see so many beautiful pictures of Dorian with snakes. I get it, really I do. But in Latin, the word Pavus means Peacock. Why can't I see more Dorian with Peacock pictures? It's unfair...

I'm about to post a chapter. I will spend all day checking the page screaming, "Why you no like me?" if my numbers don't climb fast enough. Don't judge me.

I wrote today. I'm proud of myself.

You MUST watch this exchange from today’s Tx House debate on anti-library HB3225. “This is about your desire to make sure that children have access to sexually explicit materials,” says the bill’s author. “Rep Alders, do you know what I have done for a living?” Says @voteannjohnson.bsky.social

Weird thing... I recently baked bread, and as usual, I gave the second loaf to a neighbor. This neighbor was, I suspect, trying to compliment me and said, "You could open a bakery." While I appreciate what they were saying, a voice deep inside me wanted to scream... Don't monetize my joy!!!!!
