i keep forgetting to post this commission of Solas examining Fenris's lyrium markings for @isatunoll.bsky.social which is frankly terrible of me.

it's always a joy to work together & you should also read his fic about these two - archiveofourown.org/works/626385...

impromptu collab with @isatunoll.bsky.social! putting art to his text and vision: tarquin and a letter he will never send
(transcript in alt-text)
[Two comic panels, low lit by candlelight. The first is of a paper with written words, some of which have been crossed out, the page reads:] Ashur, -I don’t- -I can’t- -I should tell you- There’s things about you I shouldn’t know. Your name. Your face. Who you are when you aren’t the Viper. Suppose it’s only fair you know -Look, Ashur, it’s just - -Don’t know how to say this, really, but- I know it doesn’t mean anything, not with you being who you are and all, but -Ashur, I love- -f uck- [The second panel shows Tarquin sitting at a desk, his head in his hands, putting the paper to flame using the reading candles nearby.]

Sneak peek at what’s going on in @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social...
These are the only words you need to know in Tevene. Everyone in Tevinter speaks Trade anyway. If you don’t know how to say it, ask me after evening rites and I’ll say it for you. Fasta vass: Fuck everything. Festis bei umo canavarum: I’m fucked. (This one’s supposed to be something about being eaten by a female dog, but that’s not what it means if you say it.) Incaensor: What you call someone who is behaving badly or acting above their station. (If your slave turns out to be able to do magic, that’s the word for it. Or your servant or whatever you have in Nevarra instead of slaves.) Kaffas: Shit. Vishante kaffas: Someone at my old Circle said it means “you shit on my tongue,” but it makes more sense the other way around so that’s how I say it. Rattus: Means rat, I think. People mostly use it for elves, but you can say it about anyone who’s far enough below you. Venhedis: Go to the Void. Careful, there’s this elven word that’s almost the same, but I don’t know what it means. So I guess don’t say this one if you’re talking to an elf. Or else just don’t talk to elves, I suppose. Venhedis kaffan vas: I’m not telling you. Only I can say this one. —Torn page found in a schoolbook marked “Dorian Pavus” shelved in the library of the Grand Necropolis, Nevarra City, Nevarra

A fanfic excerpt from Mick, calendar writer & beta, that reads: Cullen reminds Cole of another man - not the templar, but the mage, the first, failed, feared. Like him, Cullen has the old song in his blood, not by birth, but by necessity. Like him, Culen has been filed away, forgotten, freed from one prison to fill another. Like him, Cullen has wounds that bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and never heal. When they met, Cullen would not have thanked Cole for the comparison. Today, he might understand.

archiveofourown.org/works/62762611
The Sacred and the Profane Sidney Sussex (SidneySussex) Summary: Tarquin has two bosses: the Divine at his day job and the Viper at his other job. This is mostly fine, because however Tarquin feels about the Viper, he knows he could not give a flying fuck about the Divine. Unfortunately, if there's one thing Tarquin is good at, it's creating problems for himself.

Also, the puppies. The puppies need your money.

just here to drop some Relatable Tarquin #DragonAge
If Tarquin could set himself on fire with the power of his mind, he would be self-immolating right now. As it is, Tarquin is leaving the safe house and never coming back because he needs to go and down himself in the harbor immediately. "No," he says, "no, I'm not all right. I'm going to die right here on this wall and you can scrape me off and throw me in the sea." "Dorian," he says, "kill me. Kill me right now. You know magic, Dorian. I am begging you."

A single event may not change the world, but the ripples it creates can have immeasurable effects. Fenris’ arrival at Skyhold is such an event.
