I was supposed to do adult things on my week off work, instead I've drawn 2 shirtless DA men and eaten my body weight in popcorn. But I don't see much Davrin art on my feed so I was the change I wanted on the skyline.

Magpie de Riva technically came out as nonbinary to manoeuvre their way out of being the target of a contract. Viago considered their twisty brain to be an asset (despite how often it gives him a headache).

It was my birthday yesterday so, naturally, I spent a good portion of the day finishing up this shirtless Lucanis. Im still struggling with skin texture digitally if im honest and i prefer sketches or line art i think but im really happy with my progress.

New fic on Ao3. Illario/Lucanis, mind the tags (E, Imprisoned Illario, Blighted Treviso, Consent Issues) Lucanis is the only person with the authority to kill him, the only one who will still touch him, and the only person alive worth caring about. archiveofourown.org/works/85958176

Share your mood for the weekend!

"We're only a murder of Crows, Luca," I said, letting the sweetness of determination infuse my voice and trickle through the connection between the three of us. "Don't miscast us: if we're not the monster in the labyrinth, then we're going to feed on its corpse." #WIPWednesday #Rookanis #fic

I finally finished my fic for Dragon Age Fucked Up Ships Week, only two weeks late. :-p I write a lot of fluff and smut for my Sprookanis trio, but uh, they're Crows. They're gonna be a lil' fucked up. So here ya go. Mind the tags, CW: Blood. Lots. archiveofourown.org/works/84820651

Lucanis is hairy, with more defined muscle & alot of scars in my headcanon. I put him at a swimmers or gymnasts type physique & a good covering of hair across his chest. His scars are from the years of training & contracts but he has alot across his back from Catarina's cane as a boy.

I posted a little DA horror excerpt (755 words) looking at the weirdness that happens when the Veil is thin. Creepy children, Blair Witch-style dreamers, and a demon that expects to be served... www.tumblr.com/ofcrowsanddr...

Oh thank you so much! I just popped back into Bluesky and saw this. While I've added some more language and nuance since (including considering some non-European influences on Antiva), I had a lot of fun putting this map together a while back: www.tumblr.com/ofcrowsanddr...

The most recent meme in your camera roll describes your mental state ✨

Wow, streamers in public places really are the worst.

I have a question. Does PTO in this context stand for "paid time off" or "paid time on"?

I like building characters to fit the story, so Magpie was primarily a character built to play off Lucanis in an interesting way, while still recognizably being Rook. This ended up being a character that is quite a bit different from me, but that I put many of my own fears and desires into.

Brook evolved from the narrative personality first on my 3rd play though then I mixed in a huge spoonful of Jessica Rabbit. The only things we have in common are a love for Lucanis and we're both aspec- but that wasn't planned either, it just felt right for her.

Then the Maker said: To you, My second-born, I grant this gift: In your heart shall burn An unquenchable flame All-consuming, and never satisfied. From the Fade I crafted you, And to the Fade you shall return Each night in dreams That you may always remember Me. —Canticle of Threnodies 5:7

Lucanis POV coda to Chapter 18 of my fic, in response to a comment asking what Lucanis could have possibly been thinking in this romance scene! archiveofourown.org/comments/117...

Can I humbly offer anyone Lucanis in an innova waistcoat corset?

Could be fun to make an account for Antoni Mercar... "Tevinter intelligence. Definitely a blood mage, probably not a possessed genderfluid Antivan assassin in disguise. (He/him)"

I saw this on Tumblr and am looking for literally anyone else who also gets a weird one. Mine is "No worries! I'm out walking..." into the Fade

This made me so happy to see today, you have no idea 🥹 #TDOV www.tumblr.com/nastymagelin...

Characters hate it when you put them in situations like this. Especially if they have to be self-aware about it. :)

I briefly had the thought that this was a different game. XD Gorgeous shot!

"...and you have a heart that's hungry and dark and full of a precious desire for softness." An excerpt from the (not quite) sex pollen chapter of my #Rookanis fic, A Working Relationship: archiveofourown.org/works/610829...

I'm in favour of kids reading books. Especially the books my government decides it wants to censor from school libraries.

A little Davrin/Lucanis oneshot (pre-ship, rivalry) for Davrin Week on Tumblr: archiveofourown.org/works/81801591

This is where the real motivation lies for me. >:)

This looks so cute!!

I am very in favour of this 👀

Chapter 22 gets to have a little bit of fluff. As a treat. #MagpieFiles #Rookanis archiveofourown.org/works/610829...

"It's gonna be hard. There's no guarantee any of us will make it." #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #DAtV #VP #VirtualPhotography

Maybe... I should play more video game this weekend...

I think I am seeing the very tip of a fandom thing and I have no idea what is going on.

I do love some #VorkosiganSaga...

Magpie de Riva goes full throttle on the supervillain aesthetics. Or looks up at you with really big, sad eyes. There's very little in between.

Oh, this looks so fun!!

Cousin Tony: What? No. I heard I'm Tevinter military intelligence.

RIP

What... exactly is Tumblr trying to accomplish rn

Oh, I do not love that the travel advisory page for travel to the US has to be like "So... fellow Canadians... if you have an X gender marker on your passport... we're not saying there are going to be issues, but..." #transphobia #uspolitics

Extremely assassin-y romance playing out in Chapter 21 of my Lucanis/Rook prequel fic, A Working Relationship: archiveofourown.org/works/610829... #rookanis #datv

Updating the summary and tags as I get closer to the end of my fic. I am procrastinating instead of writing, but I should be able to update this weekend.

This is such a good shot.

So I finished the Bloodbath questline #DragonAge #LucanisDellamorte

In A Working Relationship, a high-ranking stranger is all that stands between a young Rook and the Talon that plans for them to die carrying out a contract in Minrathous. #Rookanis #PrequelFic #MagpieFiles

A new chapter of my undercover #Rookanis fic, A Working Relationship! We're 75k into the first novel of a gothic horror mystery noir romance trilogy, set several years before DATV in The Magpie Files continuity. Obviously, there are demons.

Just a PSA that Viago de Riva is hot AF. (Yes, even whilst blighted). #ViagoDeRiva #TheFifthTalon #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #DAtV
