It's that time again! @dragonageannual.art is in pre-orders until September 30 and it's going to be incredible this year – filled with gorgeous #DragonAge locations. Have a sneak preview of some Fereldan merchant-blacksmith-maybe-demon-power-couple action...

“Next you’ll be saying you miss the rats.”
“They were excellent company,” Wade said archly. “Never loud, never demanding, always the utmost respect for my work…”
“And never a single copper to spend on it,” Herren pointed out.
“I don’t need coppers,” Wade retorted, flinging an arm dramatically over his face. “I need challenge. I need motivation. I need a muse.”
“And what am I, chopped liver?”
“You,” said Wade, “are a heathen. A prison warden. ‘They’re paying customers, Wade.’ ‘They need armor too, Wade.’ ‘Not everyone will bring you dragon scales, Wade.’ Well, no one brings me dragon scales here, do they?”
“So,” said Herren, “what you miss about Denerim is the darkspawn, the rats, and the dragons.”

An excerpt of fanfiction by Mick, calendar writer & beta reader:
"Hey, Formless One," Emmrich said, his tone as casual as he could make it. "Do you want to come to the Fall Out Wisp concert in the Crescent Fane with me tonight?"

The silence hung in the still air of the chamber and Emmrich could see Johanna's face twist into a mocking expression, ready to laugh at his attempt.

Then, a faint vibration trembled the ground beneath their feet.

"Oh. My. Fucking. Maker," said the Formless One.

What a way to kick off #DragonAgeDay! This was an incredible amount of work and it has turned out to be absolutely gorgeous. I hope it's as much fun for #DragonAge folks out there to read as it was for us to write...

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... #dragonage #🩸 #solas #fenris

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.]

✨ DAA Contributor Spotlight✨ 📝Writer, editor, lore nerd. The kind of person who will conduct a detailed analysis of the blight and then spend hours working out what kind of chair the Imperial Divine sits on in the Argent Spire. Definitely not a blood mage. 🔗 AO3 | tumblr | @isatunoll.bsky.social

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.

I want 10,000 versions of this fanfic, ASAP. 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.

Tune in tomorrow! Watch me play #DragonAge badly for 16 hours straight! Join us in chat. The jokes will also be bad. The puns will be worse. But the chaos will be at maximum because YOU get to make all my key decisions for me! Also, the puppies. The puppies need your money.

I'm streaming #DragonAge: The Veilguard on Saturday for 16 hours straight! It's to benefit puppies! It's my first time streaming! What could possibly go wrong?! Join the stream, donate if you can, and keep me sane on Saturday. Bonus: if you're watching at key decision points, YOU get to decide!

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."

You know what's going to be weird when I finally start playing Veilguard? No angsty game menu meltdown. "I can't connect to the Dragon Age servers! I'm so sorry! I've let you down! Please forgive me!" Shh, it's okay, game menu, the Dragon Age servers aren't real.

So pleased to finally share this! I’ve been part of an amazing project – and the result is this gorgeous book about a seminal era of #DoctorWho. It was a great pleasure to participate and to explore the science of #ScienceFiction in a new way. Take a look, grab a copy, tell a friend!
