"Having no smoked paprika in a dish is like having no blood in a body," is the most Lucanis line ever delivered.

Someone made a mess in his pantry and he’s not happy about it…

Got my Cameo back and @willynilly123.bsky.social absolutely delivered! Thank you Lucanis, for not cooking Tait’s bird, Bird.

It is ridiculous that many of us who rely on international money transfers for business/daily life are forced to use Paypal because other services are inadequate or charge ridiculous fees.

It's time for an international monetary system that works for normal people, not just big corpos.

Her father, as he used to be (in her eyes). A caring, doting parent who wasn't involved in the slave trade.

(In reality he's always been a nasty character, but he did give her a loving childhood and that's what matters to her.)

While certain members of our society spend inordinate amounts of time making posts about how AI is what you need to create things you don't know how to create I spent the weekend learning how to use Musescore properly and started arranging a song.

The first one might suck. That's ok. I will learn.

I have just found out that some reprehensible fucking dork has made an AI chatbot based on the character I played on The Magnus Archives and *it has my voice*. I genuinely don't think I have ever felt so fucking violated. My actual voice. Saying things I have never said. I feel sick.

Finally finished the little ficlet that goes with this art; Shades of Grey. In which Riven confesses they almost fled from their duty to the Veilguard 🐍🐉🏳️‍⚧️

#dragonage #taashrook #taash
They lay in their shared bed, Rook long having abandoned the meditation room's uncomfortable chaise lounge. The post coital haze hangs thick over their sticky, sweltry bodies. The pair both still half drunk from the victory party, heads swimming, dreamy in the heady scent of whiskey and lovemaking. Elgar'nan is dead. The Veil remains unsundered and maintained by the blood seal of Dread Wolf with the reassurance of his beloved. There is so much to celebrate… and yet guilt pangs hot, with the sharp slit of a rusty knife against Riven's ribs. Tasting acrid and metallic on their palate. "I would have run," Riven breathes into Taash's throat. A hot, fast admission of guilt. Tears sting in their eyes and they bury their tattooed visage against the soft skin of the qunari's throat. "If not for you." Taash swallows thickly, tired eyelids rising in lazy, slow blinks as they peer affectionately, confusedly, down at their little elvhen. "What?" Riven gulps, considers recanting, distracting their partner from their incriminating words with a deft, well placed hand on the inner thigh… But they resist these impulses, because in truth they regret nothing. And they confess more clearly, "Before the dragons… before you came out to me… I packed a bag. I was going to run away. I didn't think I could do it." Taash blinks their bleary emerald eyes, arms tightening protective around Riven's small body. Like they might dissipate into mist and vanish at any moment. "Don't say that," Taash says finally, sternly, but with an edge of horror at the realization that they were the only thing which ultimately stood between Thedas and the sundering of the Veil. "Its true," Riven kisses their neck. "I wanted a world for you. After you told me that you were non-binary, like me. You're just so… Taash, you're beautiful. And I knew you were my person. And if I abandoned you I'd be so much more than a coward. Nothing matters but you." "Shut up," Taash murmurs weakly into their crown. Their arms tighten even more around the elf, squeezing them. Their teeth grind almost painfully as their jaw works; physically processing this information. And maybe its wrong. Maybe its sick that a small part of them likes that Riven saved the world for them. While their moral compass screams that the little Rook is simply insane. Taash, ordinarily, has a strong sense of justice. Of right and wrong with little room for the grey spaces in-between. But that's exactly what Riven is; the in-between. The mortar that has seeped into the cracks and crags of the Dragon Hunter's wounded heart and made them whole again. For them. For Rook. They will make this one allowance. Because they love Riven. Enough to damn the whole world? Hopefully the tides of fate will never put that thought to the test. Riven kisses their lips, soft, lingering, "You're it, Taash. You're all that there is for me." The qunari exhales sharply, hiding their face in the elf's pale blonde hair. "I love you." Riven utters, shakily. Taash answers them with a searing kiss. Taash, nipple censored. Holding a very dark looking Riven to their chest. Taash is painted in boue and pink white riven is painted in pale shades save fkr their dark eyes and tattoos.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Hmm, I'm going to give it to Rocio, a non-Rook Dragon Age OC I created to romance both Viago and Teia. She's an apostate mage who fled Ferelden during the 6th Blight. She's chock full of SECRETS. I love her.

Celebrating Christmas early with the fam today, so I've whipped out the HO SOCKS. My mother-in-law gave them to me. No, she has no idea.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Florence Welch in the music video for the Florence + The Machine song "One of the Greats. She is sitting in the backseat of a car as it drives past distant lights at night. Rain streaks the windows. She is wearing a black suit jacket, a white dress shirt, and black sunglasses. She is holding an unlit cigar in her right hand.

I wanna give a giant gold trophy to all the tiny indie devs that don't have a chance at most awards shows because they don't have the marketing budget of a mid-sized technically independent but far-more-resourced studio. So much overlooked passion and innovation.

Gamedevs don’t get enough appreciation for what they do, and often the biggest impact comes from people the public never hears about.

Which gamedevs would YOU give an award to, and for what?

Lucanis is down BAD. He admires things about Meruka that he probably shouldn't, such as her status as a one-elf army without nearly the subtlety she should have as a Crow (I just HAD to make her sabo). Or the fact that she does not give a single solitary shit what other people think.
A '90s anime-style version of Meruka (a lovely elf with a huge mane of dark, curly hair and heavy makeup) and Lucanis during the "almost kiss" scene.

The Fade Corner, starring MY MAN.

Beautiful art by @ladyredlyrium.bsky.social and @reyaureo.bsky.social
Three pictures hung on my royal blue bedroom wall: Lucanis and my Rook Meruka kissing while flying through the night sky on Spite's wings (a commission by LadyRedLyrium), and two lovely Fade-themed Lucanis prints by Reyauro.

Meruka would drive this Maserati. In purple, of course. Live fast, die young, drive an Antivan sports car.
A portrait of Meruka de Riva, the Most Antivan Elf. She has a huge mane of curly black hair, strong features, and dark makeup. A very sporty Maserati I found on the internet. It looks modern without looking super weird like some modern sports cars. I don't actually kniw anything about sports cars.

Small businesses all the way! When I took on the job of making our biannual choir programs, they said, "Just make copies at Staples."

I went to a local print shop instead. Not only are they way cheaper than Staples for far higher quality, today they gave me a samosa when I came in!
