Something I've been calling #PaladinInPinkWIP — a burnt-out college grad, a hot archfey, a world built on game rules, a quest to find a sibling long thought gone for good, and a flirtatious bard full of secrets guiding the way. I have been having a BLAST, your honours 🫡

a pink and purple moodboard with a woman in armor, an old book, a field of lavender, a sword among roses, a ghost cat, a void man, a lute, and a man lounging on the floor of a dungeon cell.

Any other Canadians trying to download their Amazon books and just... unable to, right now? Context: I've got the app open on my PC, *and* downloaded on my phone.

An Amazon error window that says "you do not have any compatible devices registered for this content. Buy a kindle or get the free kindle reading app."

She™. 🩷 It has been such a joy to poke at this book about games, stories, snarky bards, accidental bargains, and honest grief. A light, through the dark winter. A smile, every time I've needed one.

a moodboard featuring: a book called "oh god what the fuck and other incredible tales," a sword nestled in pink roses, a void man in space, a smirking man sitting in a medieval dungeon, a lute, a spectral cat, a sunrise over lavender, and a female night with dark armor.

New year, new book baby. New page on my desk calendar, new rush of burgeoning joy. Yes, it's pink. Yes, it's fun as hell. Yes, it's even in a new subgenre space. And I love it to bits.

Presently working on a thing and the vibe is just

I distinctly remember it as "wait, oh, there's puzzles here?" and then 2.5 seconds later my eyes welling up with tears like (in the BEST way, because instead of taking away from the immersion, it added to it tremendously!)

meme of a teary-eyed cat. it says "wait. hold on a minute. i think i need a moment wait. wait, wait. hold on. i need a moment. i need. to sit down i think wait. wait. old honh on, wait, please i am breaking down. hold on, wai

Suppose it's time I brought this pinned post over here! Editors, if you're lurking—SONG OF THE SOUNDLESS, book of my angsty, floral heart, is on sub! Follow their call if you like: 🌲eerie sentient forests 🖤aching slow burns ☁️nonbinary & chronic pain rep 🖤richly woven found family 🪦grief & healing

a moodboard with two large images. the first is a person enveloped in foliage, their face obscured. the text says, "for every end, a beginning"

the second is a feminine person with silver hair, their face obscured by hair, reading forward, half in shadow. the text says, "and for every beginning, an end"

the other smaller images surround the first two, a gradient from green on the left to grey on the right. they feature a forest, foliage, people reaching through the foliage, and mildewed books. on the grey side, a person drowning, a boat on misty waters, mist-shrouded forests, carved wooden walls, and reaching through mist to grasp at nothing.

No *you* saw an achievement icon for (rot13; achievement name) "Zrzbel #4: N Zrzbel bs Znavsrfgngvba" and wrote thousands of words of predictions the week before Veilguard, only to sit back like this while most of it came true

the sickos meme. man in front of a window smiles devilishly and says, "yes... ha ha ha... yes..."

Extremely important followup: is he familiar with Antivan apple grenades? 👀

An entry from the Dragon Age wiki:

The Crows are reputed to use Antivan Fire grenades as part of their arsenal. Antivan apple grenades are hot, sweet dessert pastries filled with apple and made to resemble fire grenades in both shape and heat.

Successfully landed in the woods. Now all that's left to do is wait for that second moon and firmly believe I won't be haunted along the way 😌

@trickweekes.bsky.social Hey hey! Silly little Veilguard ❓ here. Looking at that promotional image of the Lighthouse... did Solas acquire half of that furniture (Davrin's & Emmrich's chairs, maybe the couch) from... Skyhold???? 👀

a picture of the Lighthouse from Dragon Age: the Veilguard, with all 7 companions sitting in a cluttered and very dismal living room with, perhaps, furniture stolen by a certain elven not-quite-god.

A screenshot of the Free Marcher head dining chair in Skyhold.

A screenshot of the Spoils of Avvar item pack decor in Skyhold for Dragon Age: Inquisition, with a whole lot of chairs that look suspiciously like they make appearances within key locations in subsequent games.
