After some review and in the spirit of seeing the full story come to fruition, I’ve decided to put I Belong in the Sun (With You) on a hiatus for the next few months – at least through the end of the year. This decision is twofold:

Ya’ll like snippets? 👀

Have a peak at what’s cooking for I Belong in the Sun (With You) – some new chapters from Illario’s POV.

If you’ve ever wondered ‘what’s going on in that asshole’s head’, don’t worry. It will be added soon!

Your OC & 3 Pokémon they’d have!

I have done Damián’s full team before! He’s a Dark/Electric trainer. Not featured:
Zoroark, Jolteon, and Luxray

I should mention that while I have changed Damián’s name to better fit with our canon in DA, I will still be using de Riva as his surname in I Belong in the Sun (With You). At this point I’d have to change the story too much to change his name. 😂😂

Thank you again @turidtorkil.bsky.social for your time and skill! 🤩

Check out this edit of my boy, Damián! When I saw their work I thought this would be the best way to put the change of his name out there.

Game doesn't sell? Layoffs.

Game DOES sell? Layoffs.

Bad game, layoffs.

Great game? Layoffs still. We lay them off and then we hire new people to make the sequel.

Your team is not efficient? Layoffs, right away! Straight to layoffs.

Your team is TOO efficient? Believe it or not, also layoffs.

These are amazing! 🤩 if you’re not super busy, this is Damián Cantori. I think of spanish bluebells or dahlias for him, as well as indigos/purples

Illario Appreciation Month: Week 3 - Blood Magic

This is my take on @nickthornborrow.bsky.social's narrative sketch of a shirtless and hulked out Illario. Thanks for the inspiration!

#IllarioDellamorte #DragonAgetheVeilguard #SpookarioMonth #IllarioAppreciationMonth #blood #digitalart

A half-body portrait of Illario Dellamorte, shirtless and covered in blood. His hair is wet with strands plastered to his face. His eyes glow red and he has a sneer on his face. He wields a dagger in his left hand and a sword in his right. He's lit from below work red lights and on the right side a brighter light. The whole illustration is tinged with red.

I didn’t know how much I needed to see him covered in blood 😍

He’s not a Rook, but…

While I like the one he has in game, I imagine Damián’s hair a lot more curly and unruly. He also has a couple of braids of longer hair, one that hangs down on the right with his bangs, and one pinned back behind his ear on the left; remnants of his long hair.

scorched earth approach. Whoever took out his partner would end up dead, as well as their entire bloodline for good measure.

25. If something were to happen to Illario, I think Damián would probably be inconsolable. He would throw himself into his work, and likely lose his life because of a reckless decision without his planner there to guide him. If something were to happen to Damián, Illario would likely take a (👇)

is still a lot of changes to Damián that have yet to be put out there. I’d like to offer more of his new role in our Dragon Age canon (which is part of why I’m answering all of these questions) but I am worried about the overlap with my fic, because it can be confusing to see so many big changes.

and I worked out our canon events/timelines. We have worked very hard behind the scenes to include Damián as a character in our canon events, simply because we both grew attached to him as he developed. Now that we have a solid grasp, I’ve started to be able to trickle out information, but there (👇)

24. The way they are portrayed in my current work is entirely different from their canon relationship. When ‘I Belong in the Sun (With You)’ was started, Damián was not a very fleshed out character, and he was essentially created for Illario. That has changed as time has gone on and my partner (👇)

In the end, however, I think they come out stronger as a couple and as a Family – the Dellamortes will live on.

23. Domestic life for them at first looks like working together. They take contracts with one another, splitting the work to make it easier and get more done. I do think eventually they have children; this requires a very high-level of effort for them both, and nearly causes them to split up. (👇)
