Finding People Physically Attractive, But Being Asexual And Sex-repulsed At The Same Time Is Fucking

Once again, Sandor Clegane proves the age old truth of- why have a man when you can have a dog?

If you’ve been following this blog for a while now, you know that I’m a big sucker for Dragon Age and I’ve been thinking about a Critical Role Dragon Age AU forever now. So here are my thoughts:

Jester is an apostate mage who has been hidden away by her mother for all her life. While her mother entertains the Orlesian nobility as a minstrel extraordinaire, her daughter practices magic alone in her room. Sometimes she can swear that there’s a voice speaking to her, a Spirit of Mirth, who encourages her to play magic pranks on some of the visiting nobility.

Beau has been given to The Seekers of Truth at a very young age. She was forced to undergo strict and hard training for almost all her life, but failed her vigil at the end of her training. Her mentor saw her potential and while Beau was officially let go from the Seekers, she still has the mission her mentor gave her, to root out corruption and keep an eye on the Templars.

Caleb is one of the youngest apprentices to become Enchanter in the Circle of Minrathous. While his parents come from a humble background, his magical talents start propelling their prestige in the Tevinter Imperium. When Magister Trent Ikithon takes Caleb and two of his talented friends under his wing, Caleb is proud–but Trent’s fanatical beliefs in the restoration of the past greatness of the Tevinter Imperium causes him to murder his parents to prove his loyalty.

Yasha is an Avvar Warrior worshiping The Lady of The Skies even after she got cast out from her tribe for falling in love and marrying a member of a rivaling tribe in secret. After her wife got killed for the transgression, Yasha now roams the Frostback Mountains to find new purpose in life, eventually meeting a clan of Chasind in the Korcari Wilds and becoming fast friends with a strange fellow named Mollymauk.

Mollymauk is a mysterious entity with an appearance similar to that of a Desire Demon and with Blood Magic powers. While he has no idea why he looks like he does and where his powers come from, he made a home among the Chasind who took him in after they found him sitting beside an empty grave. Despite not being an elf, Mollymauk worships the elven goddess Mythal, something he mostly keeps hidden.

Caduceus hails from Nevarra where his family is made up of the descendants of Mortalitasi. Instead of caring for the Nevarran nobility, they strive to care for the little people in death, running their own cemetery. While conversing with the spirits, they distance themselves from the Nevarran practice of drawing wisps across The Veil to bind them to corpses. Instead they help ordinary people bury their dead in dignity.

Fjord originally hails from Denerim where he grew up in one of the many orphanages. As a human with obvious Qunari descendants, Fjord was always feared as being a bloodthirsty monster. When he was old enough, he left Denerim and hired onto one of Amaranthine’s ships where he eventually met Vandren. Desperate to find out more about his heritage, Fjord always longed to meet a full blood Qunari.

Nott came from the mining cast in Orzammar and married one of the foremost experts of Lyrium mining and refining known in the Dwarven capital. After an accident in the Deep Roads Nott is hurt by a group of Darkspawn, causing her to catch the taint. To save her she is made a a Grey Warden and joins the Legion of the Dead, leaving her husband and son behind. But Nott is not able to let go of her old life and when she hears that her husband has been kidnapped by Venatori, she defects from the Legion and goes to the surface to save Yeza.

TRUTH.

Techno talking about Type, his own best friend: 

Techno talking about Tharn:

Techno making sure Type does the right thing:

TRUTH.

*if you’re not gonna treat my boy right i will*

Techno being the only valid member of the Tharn’s protection squad: 

His heart is so pure i swear. He really is THAT friend, the one we all need.

(Look at his adorable little face aww)

Tharn and Type: *have a fight*

Techno:

Also Techno in his mind: *cause you’re an idiot and that’s a fact*

Techno: *sees Tharn*

sums up pretty well how Techno sees Tharn, like an angel on earth lmao

Coleridge x Wordsworth

WHY DO PEOPLE NOT SHIP WORDSWORTH AND COLERIDGE.

- met and instantly connected

- fucking followed each other across the country for years. First coleridge moved to be with Wordsworth, then Wordsworth to coleridge. One of them got kicked out of town (because drama) and the other followed and like, come on. Just cuz your bff has to move like an hour away you don’t pack up your life and follow them. 

- Dorothy wrote about how they met literally everyday and talked about poetry and philosophy and COMPLETED EACH OTHER’S WORKS because they were that in sync

- they made a book of poetry together. personal and professionally compatible. Lyrical ballads, the iconic collab.

- the authorities actually got involved because neighbours were super suspicious they were political radicals plotting something and, no, not at the moment, but you know valid concern with these guys. If rainbow rowell has taught me anything it’s that “plotting” really means “gay” and given the time calling the authorities on the super domestic and romantic guys next door really isn’t that far off

- and like “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison”?? I know Coleridge directly refers to Charles Lamb but like. If you were pining and trying not to broadcast your sexuality to the world including your wife wouldn’t you be a little subversive? He’s just whining lovingly about not being able to go for a walk together and how Nature will bring them together in spirit and if that’s not the sweetest, tragically gay thing ever. 

- their relationship really fell apart once Wordsworth finally got married and he got fed up with Coleridge’s opium addiction and constant womanizing

- they lived the rest of their lives very publicly hating their wives and not really speaking

- I just gotta add Wordsworth and Dorothy? THE BEST SIBLINGS EVER. 

(this has been the most distracting thing ever while trying to study them for my romantic lit final pls tell me I’m not the only one)

the Origins PC and companions are genuinely the funniest group of people if you actually think about it, like you got:

The Warden who literally got their job yesterday and was put in charge of saving the world for some reason

the second-most-recent warden who immediately pushed all the responsibility on you and REALLY doesn’t want to tell you who his daddy is because that would mean more responsibility he does not want

this random swamp witch who’s mother may or may not be Baba Yaga but she personally has never been anywhere larger than a small village and does NOT understand human interactions also she can turn into a spider

a bisexual nun who you met in a bar who told you that God told her to tag along with you but actually she used to be a spy and has murdered a lot of people, but also she assures you that she never took vows of chastity so she’s dtf

a grown up child soldier giant man who you got out of a cage for some reason who spends half the time negging you and talking in circles but is apparently into that and also the only thing he likes about your country is cookies

an assassin that was hired to kill you and immediately started flirting with you the moment he failed at doing that and you just thought it was a good call to let him tag along

an elderly woman who has assigned herself the role of group grandmother, really doesn’t want you to fuck or talk about griffins, and also she’s possessed. let’s be real, she probably regrets being in this group

a dwarf who’s wife ended up being a psychopath and a lesbian, so he just decided to skip town with you

a magical construct that has spent the last 30 years getting shit on by birds and just is REALLY pissed off by that

A dog that is able to comprehend human language and uses that ability solely to beg for treats

And the optional:

Literally the guy that you have been fighting against the entire fucking game

you’ve heard of romanticism, but what about bromanticism? two poets chilling in a graveyard sitting five feet apart because they’re not gay

younger sibling mindset is genuinely enjoying watching someone else playing video games for hours on end
