My OCs: Asha Lavellan
Tumblr media
Asha Lavellan Race: Dalish Elf Class / Specialization: Tempest Rogue Faith: Atheist, anti-Andrastian Romance: Josephine BFF: Cassandra and Vivienne Mages or Templars?: Mages Wicked Eyes: Celine and Briala reconciled Here Lies The Abyss: Wardens are brought into the Inquisition Who Survived?: Hawke What Pride Had Wrought: Petitioner’s Path, Drinks from Well Cole Choice: Spirit The Chargers: Alive The Divine: Petitioned for Vivienne but was overruled Inquisition status: Disbanded
Character Notes: this character is non-binary.
Tumblr media
Don’t let their placid face fool you. Their full name is Asha “the fuck you just say to me?!” Lavellan.
Tumblr media
A gifted scout but a hothead, Asha was not the original choice to be sent to the conclave. They were swapped in at the last minute when the clan’s First was injured in a fight against a great bear.
Tumblr media
Asha has an instinctive distrust of shemlen that slowly softens on a case by case basis. They came to deeply trust Cassandra, and the two became best friends after Asha realized that Cass was into men and thus not an option for anything more romantic. 
Tumblr media
Despite their anti-Andrastian stance, Asha is pragmatic and didn’t mind pretending to be Andraste’s Herald as long as it made their life easier within the Inquisition.  They take their duties in the field very seriously. but absolutely hate any of the diplomatic nonsense involved with the position. They’re happy to let Josephine handle as much of that as she wants to. Frequently has to be roused from bed for war table meetings by an increasingly annoyed Cassandra. Needs one full cup of black coffee with three sugars before they can even form a sentence.
Tumblr media
Most missions were done with the Ideologically Divergent Girl Gang -- Cassandra, Sera, and Vivienne.
Tumblr media
Asha is very neutral on mage politics. Growing up in a clan where magic was safely managed, they did not fear magic wielded by elves. Shemlen, on the other hand? Yeah, maybe they should be in Circles, they thought, after dealing with Alexius, Erimond, Samson, Magister Hallward Pavus, Corypheus... They generally feel that Circles need to be overhauled and run by other mages, but are preferable to unchecked mage freedom. Does not see mages or templars as a binary choice and broadly finds templars uncomfortable to be around. 
Tumblr media
Relishes the thrill of big missions and feels the most clear-headed when in the heat of battle. Usually tries to spend as much time as possible on the road, only coming back to Skyhold to meet with the advisors and sneak in time with Josephine.
Tumblr media
The choice in the Fade wasn’t hard. The Wardens caused the problem, and a Warden would pay for it. They didn’t personally dislike Loghain, and thought his likely death to be an honorable end.
Tumblr media
Thought the physical sensation of closing rifts was actually kinda nifty.
Tumblr media
Josephine rather of snuck up on them. Cassandra is definitely more their “type,” but Asha realized that Josephine always felt like a calm center in the constant bustle of Skyhold, and so they began spending time together. One thing led to another. And that’s how you end up in a duel.
Tumblr media
Corypheus wasn’t even a blip on the map compared to some of the monsters of the Deep Roads. They dispatched him quickly and without mercy, then proceeded nearly directly to aid the dwarven kingdom. Truth be told, they found the Wellspring endlessly fascinating and probably would have stayed with Valta on an extended scouting mission if it weren’t for Josephine.

So the lovely @the-cryptographer tagged me to create using this gorgeous picrew. Thank you so much!
So first we have my darling Marina Hawke, loving her best beach life on the Storm coast. Did she steal the rollerskakes from Carver? Almost certainly…
Tumblr media
Then, as I am physically unable to see a picrew without making my best girl, we have Iseshena Lavellan from her cottage life with Dirthamen, the trip hazard, the cat.
Tumblr media
And last but certainly not least, we have my debut design for her Excellency, the grumpiest marshmallow, the Queen-Consort of Nevarra, Asha the VII. She’s so displeased today as she has just been told that she cannot, in fact, have her cake and eat it too.
Tumblr media
As I haven’t been active in a hot minute, if you’d like to join in and show off your OCs, please feel free to consider yourself tagged x

Wines of Thedas
Wines are often named after the place where they originate. As a result, many terms that we use for wines would be anachronistic in Thedas... so I dreamed up some wines that you can use in your writing and worldbuilding! In a couple places, I also came up with in-world explanations for where these wines could have derived their names.
In parentheses, I included the Real World wine the Thedas head canon was inspired by, when applicable.
Enjoy!
ICE WINES OF THEDAS
These are head canons I have for wines that are made from grapes that grow in humid continental climates where the first frost brings out the sugars in the grapes before they are harvested. While the climate of continental Ferelden would be the right temperature, any wines made there are kept locally and are not part of the greater Orlesian wine trade, which is dominated by wineries from the Frostbacks to the Minanter.
Cabernet Orles (Cabernet Franc) - The primary wine in Orlais made from black grapes. There are many varieties, named after local wineries.
Merlot - The name for this wine is derived from the Orlesian word merle, or blackbird. It is another common variety throughout the vineyards of Orlais, a dark-blue colored grape variety.
Dalish Wine (Gewürztraminer) - This is an aromatic wine grape and is often called "Spiced Dalish" for its bouquet. These grapes are grown exclusively on the western slopes of the Frostback Mountains. The name is a bit of a misnomer, having nothing to do with actual Dalish clans, instead coming from the region of the Dales where the wineries are located.  The human nobles who run the collection of wineries have tried to rebrand their wines, but despite many efforts to get another name to circulate, the term "Dalish Wine" still persists.
Cœurling (Riesling) - A white grape variety that originates in the Orlesian heartlands. It typically has notes of apple and tree fruit. Varieties that are grown along the Minanter tend to develop more citrus and peach notes.
Veltlin Verde (Grüner Veltliner) - Hailing from the Green Dales in the northern Minanter river basin, this sweet and citrus wine is named after the Antivan village Veltlin (not a canon location) where it was first fermented centuries ago.
Chenin Blanc - A white wine grape variety from the Chenin river valley in Central Orlais, on the coast of the Waking Sea. It is highly acidic and is used in the production of sparkling and dessert wines.
Armitage Blanc - A recent wine that was created by Jean Louis Armitage, who hails from Verchiel. He was trying to craft a new grape for the production of brandy and ended up with this winter-hardy variety instead. It is very popular for its high sugar levels and hardiness and has a fruity taste, a trendy wine du jour.
OTHER WINES
Cloudwater - In the wetlands of the Minanter River Delta, rice grows as a staple. The Dalish in the vicinity, including Clan Lavellan, use the rice to ferment this liquor that appears cloudy in color due to the unfermented rice solids that remain suspended in the alcohol. The Dalish use this cloudwater as a key ingredient in many tonics and syrup, and you can often find bottles of it for trade that have been infused with seasonal fruits such as wild strawberries, blackberries and cassis.
Seleny (Champagne) -  This sparkling wine originated in the Seleny river basin of western Antiva. It is renown for its secondary fermentation that causes the wine in the bottle to produce carbonation.
Seleny became associated with royalty in the Black Age, when Asha Campana became the Queen of Antiva. As a favorite wine of the queen, she sent bottles of it as a gift to celebrate each new wedding she arranged for her children and grandchildren across Thedas. The tradition was adopted to pop a cork of Seleny in celebration at wedding ceremonies, and the wine is often affectionately nicknamed “campane”--or the Orlesian bastardization “champagne”--for this reason.
Note from the author:
If you’d like to use these wines in your fanfic writing or DA roleplay, feel free to do so. You don’t have to credit me, but if you want to, you can tag me bc I’d really get a kick out of seeing them in action!
I have lots of friends and fellow fans to thank for brainstorming these with me or giving me prompts that led to these creations. I’m always a sucker for creating fictional culinary delights for Thedas, so if you wanna chat foods or world building (especially for Antiva), hit me up!
Xoxo Kitty

THE LADY INQUISITOR
Roughly translated, Asha Fen’an - the latest of Lavellan’s many epithets- means ‘woman of the wolf’s heart’. The name appears to be a direct contemporary to the adversarial Fen’harel of Dalish mythology - the wolf trickster. Some say Lavellan herself has lended credence to recent reports that this trickster has resurfaced, and has in fact declared him the newest enemy of her Inquisition. While the threat remains heavily disputed by those outside her innermost circle, those of the Dalish still sympathetic to her cause use the title as a hopeful one – that it shall be one of their own who will finally slay the wolf and cut out its traitorous heart. Others, less charitably, use the name Asha Fen’an in mockery – no doubt referencing the wild claims that the Lady Inquisitor was at one point the lover of this very same Fen’Harel. This remains unfounded speculation, but its mere existence has inadvertently cast Lavellan’s loyalties to the Dalish into question. [template]

one (1) more tag game
Rules: Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns!
tagged by: I wasn't even tagged in this one but I saw @redrocketpanda do it and took up their invite! If anyone else wants to do this, please do! x
Sunblindness - (darklina, for my sins, Shadow and Bone)
Alina was burning.
The Stars Don't Shine, They Burn - (darklina, Shadow and Bone)
It took fifteen days for Ravkan astronomers to notice.
Party Favours - (Astarion/Tav, BG3)
“No. Absolutely not,” said Shadowheart.
Eye of the Storm - (Inquisitor Lavellan/Cullen, DAI)
Asha Lavellan watched the sunbright landscape impassively, as the cart she sat on climbed through the hills from Haven towards the Temple of Sacred Ashes. (omg first line of fic i ever wrote omg)
Upon Reflection - (Astarion/Tav, BG3)
The Necromancy of Thay should’ve scared her.
A Bleeding Heart - (Astarion/Tav, BG3)
Astarion seems to have acquired a bleeding heart, entirely by accident. (this one is my fave tbh, you can tell bc it's in the title)
Just a Moment's Peace - (Zevran/Surana, DA:O)
There was a problem with Nyd Surana’s favourite spot in the library.
The Fortress of Highever - (Alistair/Cousland, DA:O)
“We think… his claim might be stronger,” Arl Eamon said. “If he… well. If he had the support of a prominent noble family.”
A Man's Word Is His Bond - (Zevran/Surana, DA:O)
The Antivan Crows burned away Zevran’s soulmark long before he was old enough to read it.
Trends:
They tend to be short and to the point - I tend to think in opening paragraphs rather than opening sentences so the first line truly is always short and sweet (apart from fic number 1 but then that was my literal first fic so-)
A few use dialogue, which is cool I wanna do that more!
Lmao this is literally my full bibliography of fic it was kind of fun to go back and look at everything again (and see some very obvious trends in my taste - manipulative men I can fix ://// - if not my first lines)

Luka, Benny Cousland, Asha Lavellan, and Vaati Adaar (clockwise from top left)
Some headcanons for the new OCs I’ve been making. Maybe I should do these for all my OCs?
Vaati Adaar (Dragon Age: Inquisition) - face claim Chris Evans, bottom left
Vaati was practically born into the Valo-Kas Mercenary Company, a Vashoth child of Tal-Vashoth parents Meraad and Isala. However, he was kidnapped at age five by Templars and imprisoned in the Circle of Magi in Kirkwall, known as the Gallows. At age fifteen, he was rescued and set free by Warden-Lieutenant Lissa Surana and former Templar Raleigh Samson.
Vaati had a hard time in Kirkwall. His left horn was permanently damaged when a Templar sawed it off and had a fellow apprentice cauterize it with a fireball - the apprentice was made Tranquil and Vaati was left with a jagged white stump where his horn used to be. As part of his proposal, Blackwall gifts Vaati with a magic silverite false horn that he wears always.
 Vaati was raised by Shokrakar after he escaped the Gallows. He was eager to expand his powers beyond the Circle’s teachings - he has an analytical mind and quickly became Shokrakar’s assistant tactician and second-in-command.
Vaati wields a spear that he uses mainly as a staff, and a spiked greatshield for defense and sometimes offense. He is only twenty-three when he becomes the Inquisitor to protect young Tash Adaar.
Vaati used to be involved with Tash’s elder step-brother Arno and acts sort of as a big brother to the Herald. He and Tash work together to plan the way the Inquisition goes, although Vaati defers to Tash’s judgments for the most part.
Vaati is demisexual, and began being attracted to Blackwall after they spent many weeks talking in the stables and whittling toys for the kids in New Haven.
Vaati enjoys carving and making things with his hands. His greatest fear is Tranquility, and he still has nightmares about the Gallows, where he was threatened with it daily just for the crime of being a qunari.
Asha Lavellan (Dragon Age: Inquisition) - face claim Mallory Jansen, bottom right
Asha Lavellan was the First of Clan Lavellan, but she left in order to become a Watcher for the Arlathvhen, keeping an eye on the shemlen’s wars and movements and how they would affect the People.
She bears the vallaslin of Dirthamen, the God of Secrets. Asha is a competent assassin and mainly wields a pair of daggers. However she is a mage, so she uses these to channel magic.
Asha has spent years helping city elves flee oppressive conditions and make it to various clans. She is well known amongst the Dalish and a legend among city elves who call her the New Emerald Knight. Asha’s connections led her to become the Dalish Advisor to the Inquisition and work closely with the other advisors, the Herald, and the Inquisitor.
Solas’ apparent dislike of the People led her to greatly distrust him, even as he tried to find out more about the distinctly non-traditional Clan Lavellan, and she took over teaching Tash about the Dalish folklore and culture when he and Tash’s relationship crumbled. Solas offered to remove her vallaslin and she balked, avoiding him from then on.
Asha encountered Briala at Halamshiral and the two women fell hard in love, particularly after Asha helped Tash to keep Briala in power with a public truce, and then after she assassinated Celene once Corypheus was defeated, leaving Briala as the power behind the throne Gaspard occupied as a puppet Emperor.
Asha is a rift mage and has perfected a technique much like Calpernia’s ability to teleport. She also gives Briala an enchanted dagger as a token of their love.
After she and Briala marry, Briala wears a mask with the vallaslin of Falon’Din hidden inside it, to commemorate the bond between her and Asha as one of similar strength to that of the two gods.
Benny Cousland (Dragon Age: Origins) - face claim Pedro Pascal, top right
Benezio Alendro Cousland, Lord of Highever, is actually Josephine Montilyet’s cousin through marriage - his brother’s wife, Oriana, is Josephine’s cousin, but the Couslands originally came from Antiva and the two have several ancestors in common. Josephine gets a message to Benny to have him serve as Tash’s tutor in dealing with nobility.
Benny escaped the massacre at Castle Cousland with the sacrifice of Ser Gilmore, and came across the Hero of Ferelden’s party by chance as he was trying to reach Ostagar to find Fergus.
Benny is skilled in the diplomatic arts, as well as with the rapier, and he used both these talents to assist the Hero. He formed a close attachment to Zevran during this time - the two informally married after the Blight and traveled together, first to Amaranthine with the Warden’s party. He became known as the Dark Wolf there.
Benny and Zevran spend the intervening time between the end of Origins and the start of Inquisition fighting corrupt institutions and helping protect the disadvantaged. Around this time they both become Red Jennies. While Zevran does assassination work for Leliana, Benny becomes somewhat of a mentor to Sera, helping her organize the Red Jennies.
Zevran and Benny form a polyamorous relationship with Mysen of Denerim and his husband Alistair during Inquisition. The four eventually end up in Kirkwall, helping Varric, working to improve the orphanage Mysen and Alistair started, and occasionally going on missions for Divine Victoria or the Red Jennies.
Benny is mildly allergic to strawberries and will break out in hives if he eats one, although it will clear up quickly and he won’t be in danger of anaphylaxis. 
Benny is technically next in line for the throne of Ferelden should Queen Anora have no heirs. He formally adopts Alistair and Mysen’s foundling children so they are Cousland heirs, and hires guards to protect the orphanage.
Luka (the Witcher - Netflix) - face claim Niall Horan, top left
Luka is a gold dragon in human form - he prefers his human form immensely and only ever shifts back to save someone’s life or flee quickly. His mother was killed by dragon hunters when he was still a hatchling, and he had barely come of age in human years when his father Villentretenmerth had to leave him behind.
In human form Luka can still breathe fire, and can cast limited spells when he sings. His singing voice can be bewitching if he isn’t careful. HIs full name is Luczaryth.
Luka has a bright and happy spirit and is surprisingly naive. He seeks to do good deeds and seek out joy for his long-lived existence.
Luka has repaired over many years an abandoned house in a forest on the Continent. Jaskier heard Luka’s singing from afar one day and came upon the fine house. He seduced the young dragon, and the two spent many weeks together, falling deeply in love. Jaskier invited Luka to join him on his journeys and the two often perform duets, although Luka will occasionally leave to make sure their house is safe.
When Luka meets Geralt, the Witcher reluctantly takes the young dragon under his wing (so to speak) to protect him. Luka and Jaskier experience a great attraction to Geralt and act on it. 
The three maintain a polyamorous relationship. Although Geralt chases Jaskier off after meeting Luka’s father, they reunite and agree not to be parted in anger again.
Despite acting very submissive to the other two in public, Luka is the one to take charge in bed, with Geralt letting go of all control and Jaskier switching between roles as the mood takes them.

I know I haven't been the most present on Tumblr. Mental Health issues are kicking my ass to Tatooine and back, my friends! But hanging in there!
And like a ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleak landscape, I got tagged by the uber talented @noire-pandora to use this picrew thanks for the tag, and I've gotta say, this one got the truest essence of my Inquisitor Andreth Lavellan.
Tumblr media
This is her after the dissolution of the Inquisition Post-Trespasser, with a rather huge storm cloud looming in the horizon in the form of Solas and his inability to ask for help!
I'm tagging @ellie-effie @enasallavellan @elveny @inquisitor-julia and just about anyone who wants to do this! (Also, no pressures. If you'd rather not be tagged, let me know!)
