I have a headcanon when Lucanis is away on a contract, he brings Sehlana back a cute figurine of an animal. When he returns, he makes her favorite, Cacio e Pepe. 🥰🥰 #Rookanis #DragonAge #LucanisDellamorte #Lucanis

Which speaking of: shipping Viago w white lady Rooks. Like why would you when Teia is RIGHT there?? They’re a high 🌶️ pairing and have lots of interesting built-in conflict with Viago being a human child of royalty and Teia being an elf from the streets?? Like just admit you’re a white supremacist.

Ah... Lucanis the man you are! 🥺 #Lucanis #LucanisDellamorte #DATV #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard

I heard we were missing Lucanis on the skyline.

Why does every fucking fandom have racists who hate the COOLEST characters because they are brown? Teia, Roy. 😩 Racists are killing me!

Pity for them, FFX is personally my favorite.

Also it’s -1 here and everyone in my family but me has a cold. 😬

I just went on a rant about this to @lizzysizzy.bsky.social but I’m sick of pokèmon fandom not wanting Roy to ever have anything nice because he’s brown. 🙃 I wish people would just admit they’re racist instead of coming up with contrived reasons to explain why they don’t want Roy to be happy.

My brother and I are six years apart and basically the only common interest we have is being Home Alone enjoyers. RIP Catherine O’Hara.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Adulthood is getting annoyed at a thread and muting it. ☺️

What can I say, Lucanis is very passionate about cooking #LucanisDellamorte #DragonAge #Art

This is not related to the mod but I thought this said “love friendly Morrigan” at first and I thought “an attempt at a Morrigan romance mod!?” 🤣

I live in a colder area. I know how to deal with snow because I was raised with harsher winters. Southerners don’t have that experience. Rather than mocking them, I urge them to be careful, especially since sunnier states don’t usually have the resources to deal with ice/black ice on the roads.

✨️🌈 Brand new Queer History post this week! 🌈✨️ Fellow aromantics, this one's for you 🤍🖤💚 Where do we have evidence for aromantics in the ancient world? 🤔 Check out Part 1 of my series on Aromantic History! ⬇️ #LGBTQIA #BookSky #QueerHistory andreamariana.com?p=1872

Yeah I might use this snow weekend to collect a few writing posts I liked, find a few creators I liked on instagram, and then delete my TikTok account.

Be careful with the new TikTok update. ⚠️ They can now track your sexual orientation, citizenship status, disabilities, etc. just based on the content you post. I’m unsure if I’ll be sticking around there due to this. 🫡

Had surgery last week and am *possibly* getting out of this cast tomorrow and into a boot. 🥳

Lucanis has a surprise for you. He knows that sometimes he can't be around when you need him, so he's knitted you a jumper in your favourite colour. He wants you to wear it any time you're feeling low, so even when he's not there, he'll be hugging you. #LucanisDellamorte #LucanisAffirmation

Playing FFVIIR and I GOTTA bitch about them romance system that if you wanna romance Tifa you gotta be rude to Aerith and vice versa. 😫 Like yeah I’m romancing Tifa but next time I’ll romance Aerith. I love both and don’t wanna be mean to either of them. 😭 Allison: cannot be mean to a pixel.

🐲 Dragon Age artists & fans ❤️ I’m doing a LIVE signing on Feb 15 at 12:45 PM PST and inviting you to submit Lucanis artwork or Rook + Lucanis screenshots to be signed live and featured here: streamily.com/zach-mendez Artists especially—I want to feature your work ✨ Details in the first comment ⬇️

Right!! I was just in the middle of rewriting a reply to you that like… I don’t care if people are writing… idk smutty Friede/Spinel or something. Or making art of it. Those are ADULT characters which is diff than the minor chars. Just, again, keep the smut with adults where a ten yo can’t find it.

Okay, a lot of Pokémon Horizons fan artists are creeps! STOP SEXUALIZING CHILDREN!!!!

And look if you want your smutty art/fics okay I can’t stop you, but smutty arts should be kept to places like discord and mature fics should be *clearly tagged.* But hey we’re talking about a fandom that can’t even keep spoilers to discord and other private places so 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Hate U Give helps young readers build empathy, critical thinking, and courage by engaging real-world issues with honesty and heart. Banning it doesn’t protect kids, it silences them. #FreedomToRead #StopBookBans #TheHateUGive #LetKidsRead

The single and explicit message of the 2024 election was that Americans were more interested in the promise of cheap and easy treats than democracy or the rule of law This lesson has shaped the current state of the Democratic Party and it is why you are now mad at them

This is such a cute game!! So excited it’s going to reach a new audience!!

A little scene with Emmrich and Dorian after the final battle. #fanfic #dragonagetheveilguard

Thanks for being my train buddy Sho! I'll do fanart since I did ttrpg last time! Oh...its all just #rookanis lol. ✨ (gently) tagging ✨ @sylthuria.bsky.social @lauragalliart.bsky.social @bearfrymire.bsky.social @anthonyavonart.bsky.social @margawart.bsky.social

The last chapter of this Liko/Roy fic I wrote was delayed bc I had surgery last week… I get all the final edits and stuff done today and OF COURSE AO3 is down. 🫠

I am enthusiastic about the future of AI and also I would like to personally [redacted] to [redacted] whoever keeps making asshole design features to trick me into using AI for things I don't want or need it for.

I am a practicing Christian but hear me when I say that I am sick to death of religion being used as an excuse to opt out of the normal rules of civilization.

Art comes in many forms ❤️ #DragonAge #Cullen #Inquisitor #felting

If Murdock isn’t gay than idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ Like I’m not even fussy about who people wanna ship him with… He just gives off strong gay vibes. Which maybe this is a big stereotypical of me? But stereotypes exist for a reason so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fandoms need to get better at clarifying “this is a character who is canonically queer” (or who is extremely queer coded due to censorship in homophobic countries) and “this is a hc.” Like I have lots of queer Horizons hcs but the only character I would guess is deliberately queer coded is Orla.

Right. The big enemy is just being like “he is straight.” Even if he’s dating a lady Rook (like he does usually in my saves ladies or AFAB enbies) he’ll still date other genders and is still ace!

I didn’t mean to start turning into an asexuality and fandom account but here we are. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now the quality of DA bi/pan rep is another conversation, but I don’t get too involved in those as I am not bi/pan and that’s not my lane. 😊 I would rather leave room for bi/pan people to have those conversations and boost them.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Rookanis I think is about building trust between the two. Lucanis: “Can I trust that you will not betray me?” Rook: “Can I trust you to not become a full on Abomination?” This is why it’s one of my favorite video game romances. It’s so beautifully written. 😭 #Rookanis #DragonAge

Such a good video & perspective, it is 1000% something that needs addressing, awesome to see someone do that. I've always thought it comes from 2 angles 1) fandoms have become increasingly horny places often lacking boundaries 2) society will deem people 'too hot' to be asexual.

I was talking about this with Liz on discord today. As an grey person I do not want the people using “x could be grey” as an excuse to write an ace character as basically allo. Because here’s the deal. I experience SOME attraction as a grey-a but… I am still more ace than allo. I am not “allo lite.”

Thank you, @crispystavern.bsky.social for making this video! This is a great video on ace rep and fandom pushback on Asexuality in fandoms! youtu.be/e8mtRaoVnPU?...

Got sent a really good video today from @lizzysizzy.bsky.social today about asexuality in fandoms and BOY does it highlight my problems w/treatment with Lucanis in this fandom: •are people mad about him being ace because the execution was “eh” and ace people deserve better? +

I feel like the conversations on the feed are super serious right now, so to lighten the mood, here’s how I feel as a Roy fan after watching the new Horizons episodes knowing he is not just not my favorite, but the writers’ too:
