This is just my Dragon Age brainrot account. Mostly so I can ramble about my fic I'm prob not gonna publish (and my canon Warden/Hawke/Inky/Rook in the process) and keep it off my main writing account. Possible DAV spoilers.

When I made Adaia in the Veilguard CC I wasn't planning on playing that save at all, but then I realized the potential of making myself cry and now here we are.

Alyss and Zevran combined are a level of chaos no one needed or wanted; especially not Morrigan. lol
"Say, my dear, if we are to be traveling companions will you be returning my equipment? Or… does this trial period you speak of means I am entirely at your mercy?" As he asked he volunteered the dagger she'd returned to him for her to take. Alyss pondered the offer for a moment, then held out his other dagger. "I'm keeping the poison. And your coin purse, assassin. Consider it compensation for your attempt on my life." "Sounds like quite the steal," he quipped as he took the dagger from her and nestled it into its sheath.

They're the same picture.

Alyss. I... uhm... Can't say I love that for her, but it's absolutely correct. 100% correct. My poor trauma elf.
patron saint of heartbreak not of comfort. not of condolences. there is a heart and there is a fissure, a fracture, something that starts to splinter and break open. you're the patron saint of the way a heart is rent open. the way it tears itself apart. patron saint of the rift. patron saint of the gash. when they say to "open your heart" to somebody, you are the patron saint of bleeding out.

These two being like "Trauma elf gang!" *sad dab* at any given chance gives me life. lmao

"But don't let my sad story influence you. The Crows are not so bad. They keep me well supplied: wine, women, men. Whatever you happen to fancy. Though the whole severance package is garbage, let me tell you. If you were considering joining, I'd think twice about it." Alyss snorted, unable to withhold a small trace of amusement. "The Grey Wardens aren't much better there. And the last drink they offered me didn't go down as smooth as wine."

It's still #DAFanFriday and nothing like casually flirting over the passed out assassin who just tried to murder you.

Morrigan is so fucking done with them already. lol

#DAO #Leliana #WardenTabris
"Perhaps Loghain found his bounty much too ineffective," Morrigan suggested. "It was your description his men were using to track surviving Wardens in Lothering." Alyss snorted softly, muttering under her breath. "You should get your face inked, she said, I dare you, she said..." The grumble drew a soft chuckle from Leliana. "past flame?" she asked, curiously. "What? Oh…" Alyss shook her head, laughing. "No, no, fuck no. My older cousin convinced me I should get a tattoo… as a dare. My parents were not thrilled, but I never quite regretted it until now." "Well, if eases your regret, I think you would stand out well enough without them," Leliana offered. "I think we've strayed from the matter at hand, have we not?" Morrigan cut in, her tone harsh. "This is a much more serious target on your back than we originally presumed."

They're all just cinnamon rolls to me, honestly. lol

Clay (Rook): looks like a cinnamon roll, is actually a cinnamon roll Alyss (Warden): looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you Irena (Inquisitor): looks like they could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll Jamie (Hawke): looks like they could kill you, could actually kill you

This man and his audacity do not understand that flirting with her is monumentally the wrong move. lmao

#DAO #WardenTabris #Zevran
The resulting over reach allowed her an opening to bring her own dagger up towards his face. He managed to narrowly avoid it by taking several steps back, then chuckled through a grimace. "If you intend to kill me at the very least allow me to die with my good looks still intact, my dear" he jested. Alyss was far from amused, and clearly he hadn't expected how unamused she would be because when she retaliated by charging despite any and all common sense, he was much too slow to react beyond a startled: "Mierd—."

Hey, @abigaillovely.bsky.social tell your girl to come collect her man, he's being a nuisance. lol
"You are much feistier than I expected," he remarked. "I get that a lot from men I'm about to kill," Alyss spat back. Much to her surprise, he laughed. "Oh, what a pity to be meeting like this."

Not my finest snip, but I haven't written much into this scene yet and I wanted to post *something*.

Alyss is about to obliterate a twink and not in the way he wants her to. : )

They reached the wagon and there stood an elf. He was clad in dark leathers, and the blades he drew glinted in the sunlight; silverite, not mere steel or dull grey iron. Morrigan was correct. This was not their standard highwayman. He made a gesture with his sword as if to signal reinforcements, and when there was no response he seemed… Puzzled. Mildly inconvenienced maybe. Not concerned. The sounds of already ongoing combat grew more apparent as if on cue, and Alyss couldn't help but grin as she made out the distinct snarling of a Mabari who had snatched something in his jaws and was violently shaking. Good boy. "I see," the elf mumbled, as if to himself. His accent was thick and foreign; not Orlesian, however.

Oh it's Jamie. It's 1000% Jamie. I think if any of your DA protags is more annoying than Hawke they have a problem.

Alyss has her raccoon tendencies and she is an incorrigible little shit, but when Jamie goes full purple Hawke it's an experience. lol

Waking up sad because I dreamed about them saying goodbye to each other. lol, lmao, I'm pathetic.

Two things I'm very particular about with how these two interact, especially early on: 1) trust is never demanded and always offered. And 2) they don't need to know why a boundary exists in order to respect it.
"I've heard that in Orlais minstrels are often spies. Is that true?" Leliana fully stopped walking at the question, then quickly rushed to catch up to the several steps Alyss had taken without her. "Where did you hear this?" she asked. "Let's say I read it in a book," Alyss said, opting to ignore how suddenly guarded Leliana's tone had become. "And you believe everything you read?" Leliana questioned. And despite laughing as though she were amused, the sound was cold. Like a heavy door slamming shut. "If I did I wouldn't be asking," Alyss replied. "You said you were a minstrel before all this, if you tell me that claim holds no merit, I'm willing to take you on your word," she offered. Leliana's jaw tensed as she fell silent. As though trying to physically hold herself back from another word until she'd examined her options thoroughly enough. And as Alyss watched from the corner of her eye she could guess some of what she might be pondering, even if not all. And she understood. Trust was a risk for them all. And Alyss might have her reasons for asking questions, but surely Leliana had her own reasons for lying. Reasons that were not hers to demand.

Wynne and Alyss have a pretty interesting dynamic.

#WIPWednesday #DAO #WardenTabris
"In all honesty I do not know how many years I have left in me. But there is always something else to do, and I have to keep going in order to do it. I think I will be glad when I am… done." The words were again strained. A weariness that did not come from the exertion of a single, hellish day. They came across as something deep set, heavy, and strangely familiar. As though she'd heard it in the woman's voice before, despite having no recollection of it. And despite wanting to say something to dispute them, she found herself unable to. Wynne allowed Alyss her moment of silence, watching her expression carefully in that time. In the aftermath she shifted the conversation, her tone gentle, as though coaxing a child away from frightening shadows. "Have you encountered any abominations before the ones at the tower?" she asked. Alyss frowned at the deflection, but still couldn't find it in herself to confront what was behind it. "No," she answered. "Those were the first ones I've seen."
