You are so skilled and talented and good at aaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!?!?
The wispy hair curls???? The way the fabric??? How do you always paint such ethereal???? Many many beauty!!!! And the look on solas' face???? Inexplicable and yet i understand it intimately, somehow 😍😭🥰
An illustration of Solas (Dragon age) holding the slack body of Luella Lavellan (inquisitor, dragon age). He is cradling her head and holding by her waist, and she is hanging seemingly lifeless, but for her left hand, which is reaching for his face. In her palm, the anchor is red. Surrounding them is a frame of bright red ribbon, and above it is the text “In lone splendour hung aloft the night”, a fragment of a line from Keats’ “Bright star”.
i will never stop poking at this if i don’t post it now 🥀

Use the materials you're hoarding.
Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks.
Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up.
Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts.
"I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.
fucked him up so hard he was deleted from reality!!!
10/10 would let fatale ruin my enemies
will forever scream about your skill and talent!!!!
I feel like if your art was a texture it'd be soft, like cat or rabbit fur, velvet, marshmallow, new makeup brushes!!!
And yet the themes within your art are always so !!!!! the juxtaposition of them both is downright !!!! mind!!! expanding!!!!
y'all remember that one meme?

portrait of inquisitor Luella Lavellan in front of a dark curtain with a golden star embroidery pattern. She is wearing a red velvet dress and holding the glowing orb of destruction in her hands. Her left arm-prosthetic is covered by an elaborate green velvet glove, embroidered and beaded in gold and green. Around her neck is the wolf-jaw necklace, although the bone is hidden by the orb. She has no vallaslin, and no freckles. Above her, written in glowing elvhen script: “the one, who parted with the world”.
There’s love that is a saviour / but that ain’t no love of mine

But overall? This year I've written over 150k words, and if thats not an indication i found my passion again, I dont know *what* is!!!
Losing my mind every time I see/remember/think about this
Opal!!!! You're so talented, I cannot even begin to explain how honoured I am that you've done this x
another update to tag @fatale-distraction.bsky.social <3
update for @librivore42.bsky.social x
Long ass-thread TL;DR:
Highly recommend joining fan events, it's an incredibly special time with new friends, improvements in your own work, and a fantastic way to broaden your horizons and make memories you'll cherish forever!
mimmi, goombi, catossa, manuz, priyasan!!!
they may not have bskys, but you can bet your ass I'll still call them out for being incredible friends and so supportive
And the final shoutout goes to the friends that i hold dear and close to my heart, who were either right there with me as artists, other writers, or cheering me on from the other side: (more mentions coming)
@postboxrose.bsky.social @christinabindon.art @mabelaart.bsky.social @riothag.bsky.social
Third shoutout goes to all my new DABB writing friends, some of whom aren't on bsky, but all of them need some love and attention! theshirallen, wishfromhome, libri, fatale-distraction (not on bsky, check out their AO3s!) @whiskeyonsunday.bsky.social @elfyroot.bsky.social @superconfused.bsky.social
Second shoutout to my assigned artist and new friend @maniplague.bsky.social who rendered my beloved blorbo in stunning detail, and crammed so much of the themes into the painting I can't even begin to articulate just how truly honoured and touched I am x
A series of shoutouts to follow! Starting with my beloved betas:
@dayntee.bsky.social @opalapparition.bsky.social @alice-dead.bsky.social @elynnism.bsky.social @tehluhlah.bsky.social
who helped me stay sane throughout the whole event, cheering me on just as loudly as I did them
Dragon Age Big Bang 2025 was my very first fan event, and I can say with unwavering confidence it was the best thing I've ever done. I have improved my writing, made new friends, and made huge strides in my confidence, PLUS, I finally got a good excuse to write my beloved Athanise' backstory:
screaming and crying I can finally say:
DABB Fic going live 14th November 10am PT!!!!
Just a reminder that @ellipsus.com exists and is absolutely anti-AI 🥰
Never ceases to amaze me how talented your hands are x

you can take my emdashes from my cold, dead hands! chat GPT can suck my toes if it thinks there's anything comparable about human writing to AI!
"I had to stop using em dashes because i dont want to be mistaken for chat GPT" a robot cannot tell me what to write. i will never be mistaken for c hat GPT due to the content of my character
We're fully online! Thank you for your patience and apologies for interrupting the flow!
