He was very interested in why his human was crouching down to photograph this random mushroom

They are! My bear is so good with them too, and also the kittens, I'm so proud of him (he's always supervised with either, but still)
Two kittens and a big puppy sleeping together on a couch, where the soft fuzzy blankets live. One kitten is curled up against the pups head, the other curled up near his nose.

#foster #puppy tax, where the only clear photos are when they're sleeping, because who sits still otherwise? my bear being the big guy the little girl is hanging out with
Two multi color puppies sleeping on their sides in a playpen, with one puppy resting her head on her brother's stomach and legs. Toys are strewn around them, and they decided to nap on the washable potty pad, of course. Two multi colored puppies sleeping yet again on the potty pad in their playpen, with one puppy looking at the camera with his ears flipped perfectly forward at the tips. A puppy playing with an older puppy on the couch next to the photographer, looking like she's howling, though really she was just midway to trying for the big pups face again. A puppy and a big puppy playing on the couch next to the photographer, trying to mouth each other's faces in all good spirit.

Likewise the #foster #kittens are cleared to run around like inquisitive chaos gremlins, two of them have approved apps and will be adopted Saturday, one does not yet but I sent in many glamour shots to help her cause today. Would you not adopt this sweet face?
A black and white kitten on her back napping and looking very content on her fuzzy blanket. A sibling kitten is visible in the background, also looking sneepy. A black and white kitten looking at the camera with her beautiful, slightly crossed green eyes. A black and white kitten cleaning a paw stealthily while looking cute laying on her side with paws at her face. A black and white kitten laying on her side making a funny face with one eye squinting and her mouth open slightly, her paw pushing against her whiskers on one side of her face.

Comment "🔥" & I'll give you a theme to share your favourites. I got fav villains! I have many when sitting down to think about it, so here's some visual media ones:

Xenoqueen - Aliens
Solas - DA:I & DA:tV
Annie Leonhart - SnK/AoT (manga)
Lanfear - Wheel of Time (Amazon series)
A screenshot from the movie "Aliens," spring the xenomorph queen hunched over and looming in dark lighting with blue highlights while Ellen Ripley lifts her arms to attract her attention. She hisses, because that's what xenomorphs are particularly gifted in: hissing. A screenshot from the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition's DLC, Trespasser. Solas, revealed as a long lost elven god of lies and rebellion, flashes his eyes silver, standing against a backdrop of distant mountainsides in armour with a wolf pelt slung across his right shoulder. His bald head is shiny. This is definitely important to note. A screenshot from the anime adaptation of Attack on Titan. Annie Leonhart sits with her arms crossed, looking up to the side at whomever is speaking to or approaching her. She's in a white hooded sweatshirt, and her hair, shoulder length, is loose and framing her face. Behind her sunlight reflects on deep blue waters. She looks exhausted. A screenshot from the Amazon series, "Wheel of Time." Lanfear stands with her hands in her pockets, wearing a black suit that looks patterned after armour. She's surrounded by red torch light and tall columns of stone, with an iron ring chandelier blazing and visible overhead. I was more neutral to her in the books, but the live action series has brought what I appreciated to the forefront and made it More, and she wears it well. She's not going to be happy this next season, huh? Alas... March! Cannot wait!

Seeing the Titan from Isana Negat, lying on its back with its mouth open, hands curled, snow dusting everything
A screenshot of Isana Negat where a Titan can be seen laying down with open mouth and empty eyes amidst the mountains A screenshot of Isana Negat where Taash and Lace are standing closer to the camera and Rook is ahead of them looking out at the Titan and landscape. Taash and Lace are looking towards each other. A screenshot at Isana Negat showing dwarven surface ruins and mountains beyond, everything dusted in snow.

Love that the next battle I get into is with another dragon, this time possessed. Also that when you defeat them (easier than the Blighted Dragon hahaha) they shriek about being sent away for a thousand years, & send you Fade Hate Mail screaming more about how much they hate you
A screenshot from when the possessed dragon corpse was defeated in the Necropolis. Also showing this earns the achievement of "The Unbound," as that's who possessed the dragon corpse. My mage Rook fought with Emmrich and Lucanis as his party, and both are visible running from the side towards Rook. Emmrich's bond level up notification is also on screen.

Phew okay we're going to Meet Someone and I know it'll be the Inquisitor but here I am and LOOK INQUISITOR LAVELLAN AAAAAH she's looking pretty good in motion! Hard to know when making things in CC, here she is I've missed her aaaaaaah
A screenshot of a woman of elven lineage with deep reddish hair in tight curls, and warm brown skin and clear brown eyes speaking to someone off camera, candlelight highlighting one side of her face and throwing the rest into shadow. She's dressed in Shadow Dragon casual wear, and she's saying, "Eventually, when the choices I made caught up with me, I disbanded the Inquisition rather than let it turn into another problem." She's standing in a tavern with a stone wall visible in the background.

ngl it feels good getting to free a dragon at the end of this Taash mission because so often, and I assume elsewhere in this game, we're going to fight dragons to kill them for various reasons. I like not only having to do so
A screenshot of a dragon chained to the ground with her neck curled and her head looking toward the left. She's on sand and water on a beach, with ruins visible behind her. Her horns curl around the front and sides of her face, a little bit like a ram's horns. She has darker coloration on top, with orange-yellow on her jaw and undersides. A screenshot of the head of a dragon who is chained to the ground. She's laying on beach partially under a thin layer of fresh water mixing with salt. Her wing's talon is extra visible, long and sickle-like, and her purple eye is visibly open as she regards her would-be rescuers.

So one of the rock paintings looks v much like a griffon only fighting the current iteration of darkspawn - note the pale body and the dark black veining on it, akin to what we see now. also i love the large weird water lizards
A screenshot of a rock painting of a griffon with a blue head and black body and feathers and golden hind legs holding a darkspawn in its beak. The darkspawn is pale with black veining visible. A screenshot of a rounded, pseudo-crocodillian backed creatre nestled in the water with a fat tail and big, paddle like front feet with digging claws. It digs into the soft sand/mud when threatened. A screenshot of a stone carving of a griffon with forelegs lifted and talons extended, and hindlegs planted firmly on the ground. There are curling floral motifs in front of and behind the griffon.

just a man, his griffon buddy, and the bodyguard duty he thought would be way simpler than i'm guessing it's about to become

Licyn's so ready to flirt with that beautiful man too hello

also yes good hello Assan you're loved already
A screenshot with a man standing blurred in the foreground, turned to face a man with an arm settled across the shoulders of a griffon leaning against his legs. The afternoon sunlight slants across the landscape behind him, leaving long shadows on the ground, and hazy lighting on the sheer rock faces in the distance.

Further banter: Lucanis considers the wyverns being driven away from Arlathan by Solas's antics to be another reason to deal with him, JUSTICE FOR WYVERNS

he also says people have been killed for less than Rook's bad hand puns in Arlathan. Rook just going "Oh" at the end hahaha
A screenshot where Rook, Bellara, and Lucanis are standing on a large carved stone hand in Arlathan, with water visible between the fingers, and ruins, magic, and trees visible in the distance. Rook is saying, "You have to hand it to the ancient elves, they loved their statues." A screenshot where Rook, Bellara, and Lucanis are standing on a large carved stone hand in Arlathan, with water visible between the fingers, and ruins, magic, and trees visible in the distance. Rook is saying, "Such craftmanship. Handmade from stone."

Love the murals you see in different locations, really digging how different they are
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard in which an Antivan Crow is show leaping upon a political person who is throwing up a hand against the incoming death. Several other persons in togas are watching death arrive on cloaked wings.

Oh, NOW someone comments on the elven wood statues everywhere, NOW THEY FINALLY COMMENT ON THEM HAHAHA we've seen them since game start! Look the stuff we see is Creepy Okay
A screenshot of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with various wood-elf-merges with trees. One looks like a tree has pinned it through, another has arms coming out of a tree, another has a leg shoved out and nothing else visible. These trees are surrounded by red and green foliage, against a backdrop of rock and wooden supports for a structure. A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard in which broken trunks of leaning trees in Arlathan show multiple sets of legs dangling back. It's very creepy.

Bellara opening up about her grief related to the loss of her brother hit me in the heart. If there's a lot of family grief in this... I'm a goner. Licyn is handling it okay, but I suspect he's not aware that he's going to be team therapist. Also, danger cheese.
A screenshot of Dragon Age: The Veilguard where Rook is standing next to a magical barrier keeping a round of cheese with a slight wedge taken out of it at a distance from any observers. Given this is in the Artifact Containment Building, this is presumably a very dangerous cheese.

also there is a SPIRIT CAT in treviso, this is not a drill, or i guess maybe a ghost, anyway there is a SPIRIT CAT it's so cute why can't we pet it
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard of two cats on a ledge over the canals. One cat is siamese looking, and the second cat is either a ghost or a spirit and is sitting almost nose to nose with the normal cat.

okay but also there's a stuffed nug for sale in the market with a griffon skull on its head and i'm sitting here going CUBONE IS THAT YOU
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard in which a market stall at night is shown, with a golden lion statue from Orlais, several carved wooden statues on a table, an empty case, a portrait of Empress Celene, many apples and other fruits in baskets, a fur on the ground, and also a stuffed nug standing upright with a griffon skull on its head.

what are these super cool looking whale sharks I adore them???
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard where Rook is standing looking out through a magical barrier to observe a massive swimming creature as it leisurely swims past, both shark and whale-like in its conformation. There's also a wrecked ship visible, and short growing sea grass.

Running around to explore before we take a boat to the UNDERWATER PRISON and Illario is running with us and this is mostly great because Licyn has been side-eying him (a flirt knows a useless flirt) and it also shows that Licyn is indeed short
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard where Rook is looking askance at Illario, with Neve above them both on a crate, and a very large moon visible in the background. A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard showcasing Rook standing next to Illario and giving an idle animation half smirk, with Neve watching from above with her hands on her hips. It also demonstrates that Licyn, aka Rook, is visibly shorter than Illario.

WOW SOLAS LMFAO Rook will never again say he believes you can have your kindness even if he does understand why you have to Mercy Kill someone sometimes. No way to save a follower who gave you everything? You gonna betray Rook so hard and he Knows It
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard within a Solas memory, where younger Solas is kneeling on the ground next to a blighted freedom fighter in his cause, Tarashi. Tarashi says, "Wolf... You are greater than any of them. Please. Help me." This is right before he stabs Tarashi.

Okay what's even more interesting to me w/this first memory is what Ghilan'nain looked like before mutating herself. How Solas says she was formerly the most sensitive of them, and that she's getting wrapped up in what the Evanuris say, does she really believe she's a god?
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard from within a memory fragment/bubble of Solas's, showing Ghilan'nain standing in her armor with a familiar headpiece, with detailing of sea shells and sea stars and snakes and tentacles and a wing. There's writing (?) around several of the round pieces on her armor. She says, "All that I am belongs to the pursuit of creation. You chose to constrain yourself. I must climb to the heights only understood by gods."

Solas. Solas, your hair is beautiful, you mullet sideshave master, hahaha. Interesting how we're partly made into an "aspect" of the memory, we're not seen as Rook and Companions, we're seen as whatever the memory considers appropriate.
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, where Solas is presented as his younger self in a memory fragment that Rook and co. have wandered into. He has side-shaved hair and longer hair down the center of his skull, and is dressed in metal/leather armor with a leaf motif and dragon belly scaling.

Running around looking at statues (griffon w/sword) and seeing a note (Felassan? A note from Felassan!) and seeing places we're eventually going to get into HELLO THORNY PATHWAYS, there's a boat with a caretaker docking! Can Rook recreate the floating boat magic that'd be great
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard, in which a stone statue of a griffon holds a sword under its front claws while perched, laying down, on a rock, and a ship floats beyond it, along with rubble and debris, and further out, islands with threes or partial buildings.

Why hello, Solas, there you are again, and confirming guesses in lore we've had for a while now - the Golden City was in fact the prison he designed, the Blight was sealed within, and the Magisters breached it and set the seeds of it loose in the physical world, A+ Nice Work Guys
A screenshot from Dragon Age: The Veilguard where Rook is speaking to Solas in the heavily desaturated Fade, with a rift yawning between them. Solas speaks, "Yes. Centuries ago, the magisters of Tevinter opened my prison. A tiny fragment of the blight escaped." As the mage from Tevinter, Licyn is inwardly groaning, and you know, outwardly "oh ffs" as much as he can be

I can see how Rook's self-convo can split into multiple ways, I had Licyn comment on his scars and it was a little amusing (why is he smiling) but also again him going Guilt For Neve
A screenshot of Dragon Age: The Veilguard where Rook is facing the camera in his Shadow Dragon casual wear, bags still visible under his eyes because those are never going away, saying, "It's hand. You ever get too full of yourself, you can just look in the mirror, and see every mistake that left a mark." W O W. O U C H. Bet you can do the same and also see every mark that didn't, ser. A screenshot of Dragon Age: The Veilguard where Rook is looking at the camera and making what appears to be bad-screenshot-timing Duck Lips while saying, "But it's not just about you anymore. Neve's got a new scar because you sent her into that ritual." That's an interesting way to frame Rook as being lone wolf, though for this I'm laughing because that fits... minus trusting that Neve (or Lace) is a professional acting in full awareness there will likely be consequences. Can't take that away from them, Rook!
