Things I have researched in the name of fanfic recently: technical issues with generators, thermals in hang gliding, how big is a nine-year-old girl, and the most common English transliteration of mapo tofu

Related to the Inquisition eye thing, I have the Veilguard map of Thedas puzzle and there is a Seekers sigil that looks like a flying saucer

A close up photo of a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces show a shield with the sigil of the Seekers of Truth from Dragon Age. The Seeker sigil is an eye with lines radiating out from it, but here the proportions are off and the eye looks more like a flying saucer or perhaps a fried egg.

There is a local hospital system here that does a gun safety PSA with the tag line “kids are safe when a gun is locked in one” and I just want to say that it’s important to hire good copywriters

Looking at Tweet Delete for this, will need to wait till after work to do it on my personal PC I think

Lyudmila, your weird aunt @lyudmilaw.bsky.social · 23h

I love how the eye looks more like the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Almost exactly three years since I last posted, I’m finally logged back into X for the last time. Found some accounts I wanted to follow here, and imma bomb my account shortly

Too late to keep Grok from absorbing my dumb posts but. Better late than never I suppose

An oldie Zevran tarot card I still love 🗡️
#art #dragonage #zevran

A tarot card illustraion featuring the portrait of Zevran Arainai from Dragon Age. The main colors are red, black and gold. The shadows of crows leave his hood while golden coins fall in the middle of the piece. Centered there's a white skull with a dagger over it.

I deleted their comment, I just felt like being a bitch first

Lyudmila, your weird aunt @lyudmilaw.bsky.social · 2d

It’s probably better to ignore them but

Screenshot of comments. The top comment says “Greetings, I hope all is well with you. I appreciate you sharing this wonderful story; it
was a pleasure to read. If you're game, we could talk further about a few of my ideas for your story in a private conversation. I would also like to share with you my proposal for a commission.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you'd want to learn more; my contact information is in my bio. I'm excited to connect!” This is a common technique to scam writers on AO3.

The comment below, from me (the writer) says “lol no.
Buzz off scammer”.

Ooh I got a scammer comment on AO3. Now I know I’ve really made it

My favorite thing in this world is writing Alyss and Alistair getting real vulnerable about stuff and then immediately going into bro mode to mitigate how emotional they feel. It will forever be their thing. 😆

Alistair chuckled. "Well, now that I successfully brought down your mood… I should probably get some sleep. Or I can take over until Leliana gets up, I don't mind."

Alyss shook her head. "I got it. I was enjoying my quiet time, so…" she grinned. "Kindly fuck off please."

"Aye aye, fearless leader!" Alistair teased, getting back on his feet and giving an exaggerated salute.

Alyss glared at him. "I said to stop that you fucking bastard," she scolded.

The man only laughed, waving his goodbye over his shoulder.

"Prick," Alyss grumbled, and returned to her book.

It's so heartbreaking having to tell Varric later, once I took him with me. If he sees it himself, I won't have to break the news

No. No, he goes out first and has no idea about that whole argument and IT'S EVEN WORSE

Lyudmila, your weird aunt @lyudmilaw.bsky.social · 2d

Ohh this is always a tough one

I usually go B) because at this point, we know there are two more archdemons out there, so two more Blights to come. We still need the Grey Wardens, and they need a leader. We can't risk them falling apart & not having them in the future when we need them

A - Heck no!
B - Yup.

D - Varric will never forgive me
