Congrats on 1K!!! 😁🎉

I am more of a wordsmith than an artist so I'm afraid all I can offer are screenshots for my dear Ruya Laidir from DA: The Veilguard. 💜 Seeing her in your style would be stunning. 🥰

The void looking back. 😋 That's Miso on the left and Kasumi in the void. 🥰

A photo showing a kitty stretched out behind a small cat tree with a little den. The den appears empty. A very similar picture except it reveals that the den in fact has a black kitty in it, her eyes now facing the camera.

Never pictured it before but now I am and I'm giggling at how endearing Ruya would be. She doesn't dress to impress, she just does her best because that's what the host wants.

Although her idea of fancy is wearing even more gold than usual and a dress so tacky it'd make an Orlesian faint. 😆

Happy Birthday Inquisition!! 💚
Canon Inquisitor, Marian Trevelyan. The gang. My original canon Inquisitor, Arinaya Lavellan, replaced by Marian after some Twitter drama with Cullen's voice actor made it hard to romance the character for a while. 😅 Then fell in love with the Blackwall romance and in general felt like Marian was a better fit for the role.

HoF - No scars 'til mauled by an adult Childer in Awakening.
Inquisitor - No scars 'til attacked by an Abomination/former friend during the fall of the Ostwick Circle. Plus bonus grey hair from stress. 👍
Rook - Decoratively scarred and tattooed her face in defiance of the Qun.
Side by side screenshots showing Elaryn Cousland from Origins-era and from Inquisition-era. Side-by-side of Marian Trevelyan while in the Circle vs after a few years living on the run after the fall of the Circle and during Inquisition. Ruya Laidir wearing a defiant expression with the lighting highlighting her cheek scars.

Windows tells me it's World Kindness Day, so here's some Ruru, the kindest of my OCs. 🥰

(I don't know who calls her Ruru other than me. 😆 Maybe Bellara? Oh, definitely Isabela. 😁)

#DragonAgeVeilguard #DATV #DragonAge #Rook
Ruya "Rook" Laidir with a big smile. Ruya with a warm smile. Another warm smile, this time in full armour. :P A relaxed smile with her fellow Lords.

"Uh, Lieutenant? Need a hand?"

Loaded in last night and this is where I found Kaidan. Silly Canadian. 😜

Screenshot from Mass Effect 1 on PS5. Kaidan has spawned in a spot that should be inaccessible. A different angle from the previous screenshot, this one from Shepard's perspective looking down at Kaidan.

Gonna focus on Marian for this [because the other 3 are tanks 😆].

She starts off Winter focused and stays on the edge of combat, then midway goes Knight-Enchanter with strong barriers and is Fade-stepping in and out of the thick of things to deal damage and provide support for the party.
Screenshot from Dragon Age Inquisition showing a spirit protecting Marian from a lunging wolf. Another screenshot showing Marian with her back to the camera and staff ready for when the dragon in the distance comes back around.

I don't know how many times I've taken screenshots of the ME trilogy over the years. HOPEFULLY this will be the last time, with playing Legendary Edition on PS5 for the first time. But being a PS3 player, I've used phone cameras, digital cameras, a capture card, then LE on the PS4. 😅

Updated AO3 a little earlier than usual 'cause I've been steeped in Mass Effect lately and have been itching to post again. 😁 But we're into part 2 now, which shifts the primary POV from Kaidan to Shepard. 💖

Stumbled on another face claim for Marian (Inquisitor) and now the itch to boot up a fresh game of Inquisition has set in. 😅

Gillian Anderson used to be it but today I learned that Dame Emma Thompson is also a super good match. ❤️

That's gotta be Rook. Ruya is *such* a people person there's no way she's letting any of the Veilguard fall out of touch. We're talking sending out Wintersend family portrait cards of her, Emmrich, and Manfred, hosting Harvestmere feasts, all of it. Even the Inquisitor is invited. 🥰

Decided to share my Mass Effect fic. ❤️

I'll be posting one chapter at a time [and need to actually finish the second epilogue/last chapter; this will give me the pressure I need to get it done 😅].

Ruya is thrilled to pose for you! Marian was coerced. 😜

Using #DAFanFriday to guilt myself into finishing my open Veilguard run. 😅 This is Valaeria, my smartass and bitchy mage Warden. I got halfway through the main plot before I missed Ruya too much and went back to her. 😆 But I should see the Davrin romance through.

#DATV #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #Rook
Valaeria and Davrin with Assan. A screenshot from Dragon Age The Veilguard showing Valaeria "Rook" Thorne. She's a devastatingly beautiful Dalish elf with dark red hair and very kissable lips.
