Old hag in Minnesota. Loves Bioware games, TTRPGs, and cozy farming sims. Sometimes writes fanfic.
This morning my brain decided to go "so what would a trip through Tamsin's mind look like, a la Lucanis's in Inner Demons? What would happen if he had to go through her inner trauma?" Not sure if it's going to be a real story or just a way for me to flesh out her mental baggage, but. 😂

please, please, please, please, donate cash to established charitable organizations. Mutual aid is for very specific situations - a good charity can make what you give go so much farther, and help so many more people.
Did not know that food banks don't pay sales tax, so their dollar can stretch more!! Cash donate to your local food bank!!
SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.
But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

My four most anticipated games of... whenever they come out.
Enshrouded is already in early access and is possibly already my favorite game of the last couple of years, but full release is still scheduled for q2 2026.

I need to force myself to do something creative to push past tjis depression. Baking apple crisps tonight was a start, but God, why can't I get my brain to make words?

I haven't thought too much about it, but I don't think so. There's a possibility that Tamsin and Lucanis might adopt a Crow fledgling or two later down the line, but at the very least I don't see biological kids in their future.
Hey not done one of these in a while XD inspired by a rook quistion in the Dellamorte Villa Discord
Altara doesn't have any kids with Lucanis but they are thinking of adopting.
Does your Rook have any Kids with there love interest?

This one's hard, because Tamsin had a fully shit childhood. But I think it was probably the moment she arrived in Antiva City for the first time - she'd never seen anything or anywhere so pretty and interesting, and when it sunk in that she was going to live there now, it felt like a dream.

Tamsin was a name I'd been wanting to use for an OC for a while - I used it for an aborted novel years ago, but never for a fandom character.
Evie Trevelyan was the first time I ever used the default character name. I got to the CC screen and it just seemed to fit.

#daOCqotd Day 2 of doing this babey!
How did you pick the name(s) for your OC(s)? Was there a particular reason for that, did you like the meaning or the sound or was it maybe completely random?

I am so old that I still can't bring myself to use portmanteaus for my individual ships. It's still just Character 1/Character 2, in whatever order sounds right to my ears. Name smushes still just sound weird to my ears. 😂
#dragonage #daOCqotd I've been thinking about encouraging OC yapping on the timeline, so I'm gonna try to post a question every day!
Starting simply, do you have a personal shipname for your DA OC(s) and their partner(s), besides the "universal" ones like for example Solavellan or Rookanis?

For Tamsin, pants most of the time, but she longs for a good excuse to wear a fancy dress.

Semi-random question for those reading: do you ever have different OCs that you ship with the same canon character? Or is it one character per, always? Are there ever different dynamics you want to explore with the same canon character?

Happy Wednesday bsky folks. The election results from yesterday have given me a poke out of my depressive episode, and I'm trying very hard to wrap my brain around something to write for Tamsin and Lucanis (that isn't the RP a friend and I do), so I'm back to see what you lovely people are doing. 💗

Plenty. It's a side effect of being an assassin sometimes, and she's also Viago's pet spy and grabs whatever items and info he needs for his scheming.

This is a large part of the reason why my probably-autistic ass has such terrible eating habits. Getting mocked for (or otherwise having a lot of attention drawn to) trying something new gave me such a complex as a kid. It felt less soul-crushing to be mocked for old habits than new ones.
