Hi! Could I request hcs from you on Rolan being jealous?
Absolutely! I had fun exploring this topic, so I hope you enjoy! This will be Rolan and a GN!Tav. To the people reading, Please feel free to add on to this and share your ideas!
Tumblr media
Rolan and Jealousy
In Rolan's opinion, Jealousy is an improper and ugly thing to have; it sounds hypocritical when he gets jealous of a lot of things himself.
It's instinctive; his life has never been fair to him, and he never got to have what a lot of others do. It's deep rooted into his insecurity.
Loving parents? He wanted that, as his own family abandoned him. Food on the table? He wanted that too, why did he deserve to starve? Wizard Schooling? As an orphan, he never stood a chance of getting into one. No matter though, he doesn't need schooling! He's a prodigy!
Gods, he knows he shouldn't be jealous at all anymore, he will have everything he could ever want soon. It's unbelievably petty.
This jealousy starts extending towards Tav without him meaning to.
When they start taking interest in someone else, even if it's a simple conversation, his mind trails into the thought "That should be me."
As much of a loud, prickly person he is, he surprisingly says nothing about it. Instead is stews in his heart ready to burst, but he keeps it together.
Why is he so jealous if they're not even his partner? It's absurd and childish. Especially since he is unworthy of their attention. Once he has everything to provide for Cal and Lia, then he'll be worthy.
If Tav and him are together, it is a different story.
His jealousy is still quiet, but they notice how he holds their hand tighter when they speak to certain people. How his tail wraps around their calf. How he glares when other people decide to flirt with them.
Once he works on his own insecurity and Tav's reassurance that he's the only one for them, his jealousy starts fading away to nothing.
That doesn't stop him from playfully stealing them away from their companions with a "fuck off, they're mine".
Writing Blurb
When did he become such a prickly, bitter person? When, at some point of his life, did he become so jealous? Why is he so jealous of Tav, of all bloody people? Is it because they're a savior? That they saved his siblings where he couldn't? He should be grateful!
So why is he bitter, even though they saved everyone, including himself? Is he truly this entitled?
He doesn't see them approach him as he stews in his own thoughts. Usually he's not this insecure with himself, but he feels unworthy of them. He doesn't deserve them, not yet. The tower is not truly his, he has to refurnish everything to make it all of their homes. Cal and Lia love it so far, but there's still so much to be done.
Files need to be organized. All of the dealings fall on his shoulders now thanks to Lorroakan's demise. There's so much to do so he cannot truly have them yet-
His thoughts stop short when Tav kisses his cheek. "You're still dealing with these people? Don't you think it's time for a break?"
He subconsciously leans into the touch but stops when he realizes they pulled away. "I can't yet. There's too many-"
"You can do it later. Come have tea with me, or would you prefer some wine?"
He waves a dismissive hand, staring back down at the mess of papers in front of him. "I can't, Tav, they're all-"
A hand comes to his face, gently but firmly turning his head towards theirs. They don't say say anything at first, looking him straight into the eyes which makes him shut up instantly. He knows that determined look too well, and his mouth goes dry.
"You know I love you very much, right?" Before he could speak up, they continue on, "I'm already impressed with you. I don't need you to work yourself to death to prove you want to make this work. I love it here, and I love you. You shouldn't have to 'prove' anything to anyone, especially not to me."
"You're a savior-" Finger press to his lips before he finishes.
"I couldn't have done that without your help. Your arcane cannon saved my life that day. I thought I was done for until I called for your help," They state, pressing a kiss to his jaw then lips, "You're more than enough for me. Now, how about some reading and wine?" He closes his eyes briefly before that playful smirk returns, looking up at them. "I suppose if you want me to read to you that badly, I shall."

Finally Home - Jason Todd Blurbs
Jason Reads A Bedtime Story
Fandom: Red Hood
Warnings: none
Summary: Jason has been doing a lot of patrolling and you demand he stays home one night to read his daughter a bedtime story
Notes: after how Broken Prism has been I wanted something light and cute, and several people have asked for some more about Jason being a girl dad so here is something I hope you like, also go ahead and read Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin even if you don't have kids, it's a cute book
               Gotham was known for a lot of criminal activity that kept Jason busy but for the past few weeks it had been like the criminals had been on a bender and never slept.  Jason was out every night pretty much, coming home only to sleep and eat, and then back out again.  It was really starting to take a toll on his 7-year-old daughter who just wanted her daddy to read her a bedtime story.  You knew why he was doing this, he was the city’s protector, but he was also a father and despite all the good he did in the city he was starting to do some damage to his baby. 
               “I’ll read to you tonight honey,” you said as you curled up with your daughter in her little bed, opening one of her favorite books.  She shook her head, tears already starting to fall like they had been every night the last couple of days.
               “I don’t want you, I want daddy, he does the voices,” she said, wiping her eyes to try and stop the tears.  She knew her dad worked at night, knew he was out stopping bad guys, but we kept that secret and only talked about it with the others in the Wayne family.  It was tough to understand but she was a trooper and was usually able to handle Jason being gone for a few nights.  This was far too long, and you hated seeing how much it hurt her not to spend time with him, especially when he was normally the best dad any kid could ask for.  You hugged her close, kissing her head and deciding right then and there that you were going to do something about this. 
               Once you finally got your girl to sleep you called your best friend who was always willing to watch her favorite ‘niece’ and headed to the Batcave.  Bruce was going to get an earful from you because you knew he was the one asking Jason to take on extra patrols because Nightwing was busy in Bludhaven, Tim was doing college courses, and Damian still had high school, but someone was going to step up right now and let Red Hood take a night off. 
               The cave was only manned by Alfred when you arrived and after a quick greeting you settled in to wait until Bruce and Jason got back.  Alfred was eyeing you the entire time, seeing you getting more annoyed as you stewed in your thoughts. 
               “Seems like Master Bruce is going to be in for a fight here tonight,” he said, a twinkle in his eye.  The man may have pretended to be stoic and calm, but he lived for drama, why else would he stay in the employment of the biggest drama queen this world had ever known? 
               “He’s not the only one,” you muttered, finally hearing the familiar sound of the Batmobile and Jason’s bike coming down the ramp.  Bruce was barely out of the car, and Jason off his bike, when you were marching up to them.  Jason smiled, ready for a hug, not expecting to see the angry expression on your face.
               “Hey sweetthing, come to visit?” he asked.  You threw him and glare before looking at Bruce. 
               “He’s getting tomorrow night off,” you said.  Bruce opened his mouth, ready to argue.  “No, no, you shut up.  He has been patrolling from dusk until dawn for three weeks now without a break and there is a little girl at home who has cried herself to sleep for the last four nights because her dad hasn’t been around for bedtime, and I’m done with that.  You let him have a night off or so help me I will be the next supervillain you have to deal with.”  Bruce looked shocked; you had never lost it like this before on him.  Jason swallowed.
               “She’s been crying?” he asked, voice small and heartbroken.  He could neve imagine him being the source of his daughter’s tears, she was everything to him.  “Ya, I’m not coming in tomorrow.”
               “Jason, I need the extra help right now,” Bruce tried to argue.  He shook his head.
               “Tim can skip a night class or Damian can miss a day of school, I’m staying home and reading to my baby girl,” he said.  He turned to you, who was finally smiling.  He saw how tired you looked and realized that you must be struggling without him every night too.  He forgot that sometimes he wasn’t just Red Hood anymore, he was a husband, and a father now.  “Is her favorite book still Dragons Love Tacos?”
               “Ya, she wants you to read it in your old man dragon voice,” you said, smiling at him.  He pulled you close, giving you a kiss before he went to change.  Bruce approached you slowly, cowl now off and looking guilty.
               “I am sorry about this, he is just so good, so protective of the city now, ever since his girl was born, I forget that he has a reason to go home,” he said.  “I’ll get others to cover patrols for the next week, why don’t you guys spend that time together?”
               “Thank you, Bruce, I appreciate that,” you said. 
               The next evening when Jason would normally be saying goodbye, he was playing Legos, building a castle with his little girl on her bedroom floor.  She looked at the window, seeing the sun had set and looked at her dad.
               “Don’t you need to go to work daddy?” she asked, putting another piece in place.  He shook his head.
               “No, they gave me a week off just to hang out with you,” he said.  Her face lit up and she jumped, hugging him. 
               “I’m going to get ready for bed now!” she said, running to grab her pajamas and get in the bath.  He chuckled, cleaning up the pieces they hadn’t used and finding a stack of books to read to her.  He wanted to read to her until he couldn’t speak.  You came into the room after helping her into the tub and kissed him softly. 
               “We love you hero,” you said.  He smiled back at you and went to finish helping his daughter with her bedtime routine.  He settled her into bed, got her favorite stuffed animal, a red bat of course, and settled next to her, looking comically large on her little twin bed.  You stood in the doorway as he got her settled and opened the book, clearing his throat.
               “Is this the voice?” he asked, making it sound deep and somehow like an old dragon with a smoking problem.  She giggled and nodded, then snuggled into his chest, her arms wrapping around him as she looked at the pictures.  “Hey kid, did you know that dragons love tacos?”

Gojo Satoru: Blissful Satisfaction
Gojo Satoru x Fem! Reader
Request from @megsssshie: Gojo coming from work angry and fucking his anger out of him with reader<3 This is such a random request but its what sounds like it'd be good.
Summary: A seething Satoru seeks his lovely wife out to aid his work-induced frustrations.
a/n: I meant to make this a short blurb, but ended up at around 2.6k woops :)
tags: Minors DNI! Explicit sex, minor Master/Slave situations, housewife reader, face f*cking, creamp*e, & more.
--
To say that his day had been frustrating would be an understatement. 
Satoru was absolutely pissed.
Not only did the deal that his team had been working on for months had fallen through, but his boss had made the snide comment that his absolute menace of an equal would have done a better job. 
Fuck this job, and fuck all of them, Gojo thought.
He was fuming as he made his way into the parking garage, loosening his tie as he got into the driver’s seat. Feeling himself rage from within, he took a deep breath before deciding his next move. He could go to the gym to blow off some steam, but tonight he decided otherwise. Why bother with the gym?
Not when he had a tight little cunt to sink himself into at home. 
The thought stirred his cock awake; it was already straining against the soft material of his expensive dress pants. He quickly stepped on the gas pedal with a heavy foot, speeding out of the lot and onto the street. 
He was heading right home to you. 
Like any weekday evening, you were busy in the kitchen of your lavish condo. The stew you were cooking was almost done, so you set the stove on low and turned the rice cooker to warm as you began cleaning up what you could. 
The table was already set to prepare for your husband's arrival, so you made yourself busy by washing dishes until he walked in. 
Vrrr vrrr 
Your phone goes off on the counter, indicating a text from your husband. What you read next makes you stop in your tracks. 
Master bedroom. Sub position. Ten minutes. 
The text had you scrambling. Quickly, you turn off the stove and put the lid on dinner. It would have to wait until later… You undo your apron and make your way upstairs. Looking at the clock, you were swift in removing all your clothes- stripping down completely to the nude. Just as you sit on your knees in front of your large bed, you hear the garage door open and Gojo park his car. 
Palms up and chin high, you wait in anticipation for your husband to walk through the door. 
It wasn’t often that Gojo made these types of demands in the bedroom. Normally he enjoyed woo-ing his wife in his own flirtatious ways. Taking her shopping, or to a nice dinner, before taking her back home to absolutely ravish. But on days like today- well, Gojo needed some sort of outlet to release his frustrations, and he knew his cute little wife would be more than happy to help. 
Making his way inside, he discards his shoes and briefcase at the door. He smells dinner on the stove, stopping in the kitchen to ensure that everything is turned off. The last thing Gojo needed was his house burning down as he was fucking the shit out of his wife. Smiling at himself, he knew you were already one step ahead of him. He made his way up the steps, walking into the dimly lit master bedroom where you waited. 
What he saw made him stop in his tracks. 
You were certainly in the position he wanted you in, palms up- resting on your bent knees tucked under you. With your chin held high, you locked eyes with your husband.
“So obedient for your Master, huh baby?” He says with a smile.  
It was quiet, but you both could hear each other inhale a sharp intake of breath. 
“Welcome home, Sir.” you whisper, almost breathless. 
God, you were so fucking precious… Satoru would never get over seeing you nude. Of course, you knew each other’s bodies down to the freckle, but never does a day go by where you don’t turn Gojo into some sort of perverted monster. 
Your nipples were erect from the cool air of the bedroom, they pebbled against your skin and made his mouth water. He wanted to take you then and there, but he knew he had to pace himself at least a little bit if he wanted to last. 
“Hi Sweet Girl,” he greets you like a pet, reaching out to caress your hair with a soft smile and tired eyes. 
It had you squirm in anticipation, leaning into his loving touch… The nickname instantly had you wet, ready to take on whatever he dealt. 
You could tell he was frustrated by something outside of your relationship, Gojo rarely indulged in complete submission from you. However, you were more than eager to please and allowed him to use you in any way. 
He stands next to you, towering over your smaller frame. Lowering himself to peer into your eyes, he smirks at the way you let him force your chin even higher with two fingers. He knew that it was uncomfortable for you, but also knew that you are eager to please your Master in any way he saw fit. 
Leaning down, he plants a firm kiss on your forehead- making you feel warm with love and admiration. 
You peer up at him under your long eyelashes, silently waiting for him to make the next move or command.
“What’s our safeword baby?” He asks. 
“Purple, Sir.”
He cracks a wicked smile before confirming your answer, removing his touch completely and standing at his full height. 
“Good girl, now… Suck my cock.” 
Reaching out, you’re swift to undo his belt and free his shaft, leaving his pants around his thighs. He was already half-hard and it didn’t take but a few strokes of your soft hand to have him stand at full attention. 
God, he was fucking gorgeous. A pretty cock for a pretty man, when Gojo was at full standing his shaft was lengthy, measuring up to roughly 8 or 9 inches. His cock was slightly curved upwards, a perfect angle to slam into your spongiest spot. A couple veins danced with each other along the sides as they met a pretty flushed tip. A tip that currently pointed in your direction and leaked onto your hand as you pumped him slowly. 
You licked your lips eagerly before leaning forward and taking him in your mouth. 
“Ah- fuck,” mutters Gojo, throwing his head back in bliss. 
You hum around him as you begin bobbing your head up and down. Slowly, you take a few movements to get your throat used to his weight before you feel both of his hands in your hair, giving your head a firm tug to look up. 
As you do, what you see makes your pussy drip onto the bedroom floor.
Your husband's bright blue eyes- normally so clear and vivid, we’re as black as night. His pupils were blown wide as he smiled down at you with just a touch of malice. 
“I’m not going to be kind.” He says, voice low and gravelly- so different from his normal sweet-talk. 
It made your cunt quiver. 
Nodding, you understand what he’s getting at completely. You remove your hand from the part of his shaft that wasn’t in your mouth and put both palms against his lean thighs, bunching the fabric of his slacks in your fists as you prepare to hang on. 
Gripping your head, he pulls you off his cock and watches as you kneel in front of him with your mouth wide open and tongue hanging out. 
“Fuck baby- such a eager little slut, like a bitch in heat…” he could feel his cock twitch at the sight as he leans down and spits directly into your mouth. 
You swallow it eagerly, showing him your empty throat as if beckoning to place his shaft inside your mouth once more. 
He laughs at that, “how can I deny my pretty little wife?” 
His touch on your head gets mean as he shoves your face back into his crotch. Not waiting for you to prepare yourself, he feeds you his length until he’s hitting the bottom of your throat and your nose sits against his pelvis. 
“Fuuuuuuuck,” he moans. “That’s it- such a good fucking girl.”
He begins to fuck your throat at an uncaring speed. You could barely breathe, but you do your best to accommodate your much frustrated husband. Your tongue hangs low, making sure to coat the underside of his shaft with every thrust he gives. 
You move to cup his balls with one hand as you support yourself with the other, lightly massaging and squeezing them as you feel them press against your chin with each movement. 
Satoru watches the tears smear mascara down your face, your saliva mixing with his precum and dripping off of your chin and onto the floor. Fuck, it was a mess but Gojo couldn’t help himself as he edged himself with your throat. 
He holds you down on his shaft, the soft white hairs at the base tickle your nose as you struggle to breathe through your blocked airway. Finally, he yanks your head off him, admiring the silvery strings of spit and cum connecting your face to his crotch. 
You look up at him through tears as the hand on the back of your head tilts your head up. The slender fingers of his free hand tilt your chin as he admires your abused face. 
“So good for me baby… but I’m far from done. Are you ready for my cock?” He teases with a smirk. 
His lewd words emit a soft whimper from your much sore throat; however you manage to answer his question. 
“Ye-yessir.” You tell him with a hoarse voice.
He answers with a cheshire grin, “you know just what I want to hear baby.” He coos at you, caressing your face with a soft hand as the other grips you by the throat. 
Satoru squeezes your neck, slightly obstructing your airway once more as he half drags, half walks you towards your shared bed. He practically throws you on top as he takes off what remained of his clothing. 
You look up at him, drunk on the sight of a naked Gojo. You beg him to touch you with your eyes, but you knew better than to ask anything of him once he got like this. 
He climbed onto the bed behind you, reaching for your hips and hoisting you onto your knees, positing you just how he liked. Your pussy was open for his hungry eyes, taking in each deliciously wet fold as he watched your hole twitch around nothing. Gojo admired the way your body begged for him- practically weeping as you dripped in anticipation for his cock. 
He had to hold himself back from tasting you- knowing that he’d make up for it later in the back of his mind. You were more than ready to take him, he knew just by the way your body reacted to his demanding actions. 
With your head down low on the comforter you couldn’t see what he was doing, just barely having the willpower to stay still and wait. Finally, you feel two cool hands on either side of your hips. With his thumbs digging into the fat of your behind, he parts your ass cheeks slightly so that he could admire your tight little holes. 
“Who do these belong to, baby?” He taunts.
You feel it then- the warm glob of spit that drips down your crack, it’s slippery substance coating your asshole before dripping down to your pussy. 
“Y-you sir,” you answer, the intensity of his words drawing goosebumps from your heated flesh.
He squeezes the fat of your ass in triumph. “That’s right, baby… I own you, my perfect little slut.” A hard slap comes down on your cheek, making you cry out and whimper at the heated pain behind his hand. 
You could feel him begin to prod at your entrance, the weeping tip of his shaft slowly pressing into you. You moan loudly- unable to form words as you feel your husband drive his cock straight into your cunt. 
Satoru hits home- no prep, not that you needed it- he drives himself into you all at once. He feels himself deep inside your womb, nestled to the brim as he absolutely loses his shit at the feeling of your heat wrapped tight around him. 
“Shit- you’re so fucking tight.” He groans. 
All his frustrations from earlier come soaring to the surface as he drags himself in and out of your pussy at a quick, brutal pace. Each thrust of his hips brought him deeper and deeper into your depths, pulling soft cries of pleasure from your chest as you moaned out for him. 
He could barely pace himself- losing his mind in you as he fucks you into oblivion. Gojo made a choice then- he would forget everything from work and lose himself in his love for you.
Stars danced across your vision, your eyes squeezed shut as you allowed Gojo to use you like his personal cocksleeve. Your hands gripped the sheets tight as you arched your back into him, quick to meet his rampant thrusts as you edge closer to your finish. 
“Oh god- Fuuuuuuuck!” You cry out when you feel him reach a slender finger in between your legs. You attempt to jerk away, but his grip on you has you trapped underneath him. He caged you in, humping your body like an animal in heat. 
Gojo circles your clit lightly, dancing with your teetering orgasm as he feels your cunt grip him tight. It makes him laugh, mind feral as he fucks you even harder. Each piston of his hips sent your ass bouncing against his front. 
He goads you further, “Such a good fucking girl.., my tight little slut, gonna finish on my cock sweetheart?” 
Your husband's teasing words bordered on mean, but you couldn’t help the way they snapped the tight coils in your stomach. You cum hard with a scream on your lips, tears falling from your eyes as you coat his shaft and balls in your release. 
He looks down and admires the view of your gushing cunt, releasing your swollen clit to focus on fucking you through your orgasm. 
“Satoru! I-it’s too much!” you cry, attempting to reach behind you and push his chest away. 
It falls on deaf ears as he slaps your hand away and fucks you right into another, making you silence your cries as you clamp down around him.
Gojo’s grunts filled the room as he neared his end. He watched the way you twitched in pleasure- it had him pounding into you from behind with reckless abandon. His balls felt tight as he slams home one, two- three more times before releasing himself inside of you. 
He shoves his cock as deep as he could- filling your womb with his hot seed as he holds your body down underneath him. 
“Ugh- fuck!” he groans, digging his fingers into your flesh, no doubt leaving marks that would last for days. 
Your vision goes white as you feel him fill you up, coating you with himself from the inside out. 
“Shhh…” he coos at you as he rocks his hips back and forth, fucking his cum deeper into your cunt. “That’s my sweet girl, taking all of me just like that. You did so well baby.” 
His encouraging words had both your heart and pussy fluttering as he slowly pulled out of your abused hole. 
“Sa-Satoru…” he listens close as your voice whispers his name.
Gojo turns to position you in his lap facing him, caressing your hair and gently kissing forehead. Unbothered with the fact that you leaked his own release onto his lap, he listened to your soft whimpers and quick heartbeat. In this moment, he knew that nothing mattered except you, and that all his frustrations from work had long been forgotten.

okay but sub! shy! virgin! hawk with a mommy kink <33. he’d be so shy and it’d be so cute ahhdhdhhdhe
Shy!Sub!Hawk Moskowitz x Chubby!Dom!Reader NSFW Blurb
Mommy kink ○ Fem!Reader
CW: loss of virginity, dom/sub dynamics but not explicitly discussed, unprotected sex. (unedited)
Tumblr media
Hawk talks a big game for someone who has yet to lose their virginity. He gives off the energy that he'll top and be great at giving a girl dick, when he has no idea what he's talking about. Reader stews at the thought, eventually coming to the conclusion that Hawk needs a reality check...
At training, she spars with him and let's him think he has the upper hand, but then flips it around on him. She pins him down easily, making sure he can't move with his hands to the mat and her body on his hips. She smirks at his wide eyes and the faint blush forming on his cheeks. While the rest of the class applauds her, she subtly rolls her hips and feels his cock stir, then twitch at her dominance. Neither say a word about it and she stands up and offers him her hand, which he takes and pulls him up harder than expected.
When it's time to go, she corners him at his car. As everyone else leaves, it looks like they're having a normal conversation. They have no idea she's confronting him about how he claims to be quite the dominant force in bed.
He clams up and goes quiet, bowing his head. She steps closer and backs him up against his car, then cups his crotch and palms him through the material of his pants. He groans and tries to keep up his act onelce more, ready to puff up his chest. But she stops him once again.
"I don't even think you've ever gotten your dick wet."
Next thing he knows, he's sitting behind the wheel and she's reached over the middle console giving him a handjob. His facade is crumbling as he whines loudly, having to keep his eyes focused on the road while she plays with his cock. He doesn't have to look at her to know she's smirking, he can hear it in her laugh. Every time she chuckles at his inexperience, it sends shivers down his spine and his thick cock twitches in her hand.
Then they're making their way through the house and to his bedroom. She pins him to the door before he can even get it open. She's rough with him as she palms him again, jerking him off through his pants.
He lets out a feeble, whiny, "mommy," and she stops.
He looks up at her, shocked at his own words. He feels all the heat coursing through his body make its way up to his face, in his cheeks and in his ears. She's staring at him with a hard to read expression and he swallowed hard trying to find the right words to say to next.
But he doesn't get the changlce to say anything more. She opens the door behind him and pushes him in. "Take off your clothes, get on the bed, and let mommy show you how it's done."
He stammers, "ye-yes, mommy." Then he starts stripping.
Once nude, he crawls onto the bed, weeping cock between his legs nice and hard. He sits and rests back on his hands, unsure of how she wants him to be. Does she want him to lay there? Sit there? What? He doesn't know what to now and it shows.
"Wh-what are you going to do?" He asks, watching her watch him.
She stands at the end of his bed, still fully clothed. She stares at him, most notably his cock as it lays over his abs. But when he speaks, she looks at him and takes it all in, his facial expression, the way he's sitting, how he's looking at her. She knows she has his full attention, so she starts stripping slowly.
Instead of answering his question, she asks, "have you ever seen real tits before?"
He shyly and embarrassingly shakes his head. His eyes are glued to her, cheeks and ear and neck burning bright red. Though his mohawk says his a brash, loud mouth guy, she sees nothing of the sort left over. All she sees in a quiet, shy virgin.
Once her bra comes off and and tits are freed, his eyes widen. She cups them and squeezes them, plays with her nipples and moans softly. He watches every movement she makes, silently taking notes before she stops and starts undoing her pants.
Soon, she naked and crawling onto the bed. She licks her lips as she sees his cock twitch and ooze pre cum onto his stomach. She comes to a stop in front of him, between his knees, and sits on her knees. "Now, what do you want, Hawk?"
She says his name like a taunt, teasing him with his macho, tough guy act. He knows it's what she's doing and he doesn't even care, shivering at the way she looks at him. He feels so small under her gaze.
"I-I want... want you to ride me..."
"Who?"
He looks at her, a little unsure. "M-mommy?"
Reader smirks at him. "Good boy."
She comes closer and positions herself over him, and he sits back and watches. He doesn't know where to look, but his eyes scan over her whole form as she gets him ready. From her tits to her belly to her wet pussy as she drags it along his length. He whines lowly, trying go hide the embarrassing noise from her. However, she just grinds down on his twitchy cock and pulls the noises out of him louder.
Then she reaches down and holds his cock up to her pussy, rubbing the tip through her folds before sinking down on it. His tip pops in easy, but she doesn't stop go let him really feel it and get used to the feeling. No, she just keeps going, letting her fat cunt eat up his twitchy cock until her ass is pressed against his thighs. They're hip to hip and as he looks down at where they meet, he realizes she's taken him all in one go. His thick cock is buried to the hilt in real, warm pussy and his body can hardly take it.
His cock twitches erratically and he holds back, using every fiber of his being to not come yet. But she crumbles him easily like she's done to him all day.
She leaned in close to him, pressing her bare tits to his chest and they squish up. She lightly grinds her hips as she starts kissing his jaw, dragging her soft flesh along his cut jawline. "Are you gonna come already, baby? I know you are. I feel your cock throbbing inside me. Mommy won't be upset if you come now. I promise. Go ahead. Come. Come from just putting it in Mommy's pussy."
Her dirty, borderline mean words allow him to let go. He's whining loudly as he comes and she kisses his stretched lips, as of kissing the very noises he's making whilst he can't kiss her back. She holds him and mumbles against his lips as he comes in his first raw pussy.
"There you go, baby. Just like that," she tells him, petting his jaw sweetly. She rolls her hips into his, milking his orgasm for everything it is and can be, making him feel like he's belong cloud nine. His cum splashes against her cervix as she grinds her hips down on his, humming softly as she smiles against his whimpering lips. "It must feel good to finally have you cock buried in a real pussy. Does it feel good, baby?"
"Yes..."
"Yes what?"
"Yes, Mommy," he whines. His hands are on her hips and he's gripping them tightly, but he knows he has no control over the way they move on him. He doesn't really care though, brain turned to mush as he's still firing off into her cunt. Slowly, as he comes to a stop, the fog lifts and he looks up at Reader. "Thank you, mommy."
"Aww," she chuckles and cups his chin. She pouts and smirks. "It's not over yet, baby. You still have to make Mommy come. You want Mommy to feel good, too, right?"
He nods excitedly and she laughs at his enthusiasm, sending shivers up his spine. His dick stays hard as she doesn't stop rolling her hips.
"Good boy," she mumbles, leaning into him. She kisses him for real this time and they sit there making out for a while, her tongue shoved into his mouth and lashing against his. She lets him, too shy to do anything more, slowly learning what he should do with his tongue.
Then she pulls away and pushes him down onto the bed. She pins him down by the shoulders and spreads her knees further apart. He pants hard, watching her with wide eyes from below. She lifts her hips up, then drops them back down roughly. He moans, throwing his head back, uncaring that he's messing up his hair.
He lets out a cry of "Mommy!"
And Reader moans lowly with him, smirking as she continues the pace she set, planning on riding him nice and hard as he cries out for his new mommy until his voice goes hoarse.

Feeling absolutely devastated because of uni and grades all I’d want is the Leon that you write shower me in love and reassuring words :((((
awww honey :(
i’m so sorry you’re having a hard time. it means a lot to me that something i’ve written has brought you comfort during a tough time.
here’s a blurb to hopefully cheer u up ;~; it’s not specific to either canon!leon or yandere!leon, it can be read as either 💗
(writing this on mobile so i’m sorry if the formatting is shit)
leon had been away on assignment for a few days— the timing couldn’t have possibly been more inopportune. not only was he already apprehensive about leaving you to your own devices for any length of time due to pure paranoia, but you were currently being crushed under the weight of finals season.
you were barely sleeping, barely eating, barely blinking. you weren’t as gracious with yourself as he wished you’d be— you hardly allowed yourself any breaks despite how obvious it was that you’d needed one. on one hand, he understands. leon has always been one to absorb himself in his work that way. but you? he could hardly stomach watching you fold in on yourself more and more as the weeks dragged on.
still, duty calls, so away he went.
leon returned home on the cusp of 4 am and was pained to see the dull light of your laptop screen shining through the bedroom window. he didn’t even bother taking his bags out of the car as he headed inside and up the stairs to check on you.
you were practically right where he’d left you days ago, hunched over your laptop at your desk, hair thrown carelessly into a claw clip hanging loose at the nape of your neck, bundled up in one of his old hoodies that swallowed your body whole. you had your forehead rested on the desk before you— he almost thought you were sleeping until he heard a soft hiccup followed by a sniffle.
you were crying.
“oh, sweetheart…” he gasped, approaching you gently so as not to spook you. leon wasn’t even sure if you’d noticed him yet. “what’s the matter? why are you still awake?” he asked, resting a hand on your shoulder, feeling your body quiver beneath his touch as you sobbed.
you peeked your head up to look at him, bleary eyes shot red and overflowing with fat tears. your bottom lip wobbled as you drank in the sight of him, clearly trying to find the words to describe your situation, but once you did, it was like you’d unleashed a rushing waterfall of word vomit that you’d clearly been stewing on since he’d left.
“i put everything i had into this essay, i’ve barely slept, i studied the material until it was printed on the backs of my eyelids and my professor won’t accept it because i turned it in one minute after midnight,” you rambled, pausing to inhale a breath before you continued, “it’s ridiculous and unfair and now i’m gonna have to retake the entire course over one stupid essay, one fucking minute. and now my gpa is probably fucked too and i don’t know what to do because i tried talking to him and he won’t hear it, he won’t give me an extension, and i’m still not even done because i have another final due at 6 pm tomorrow—“
leon listened carefully, occasionally wiping away your tears as he tried to follow your rant. you were firing off so quick he wasn’t sure you were breathing.
“okay, hey, hey… shh… come here,” he interrupted you, opening his arms to draw you out of your chair and into his embrace. you clearly hesitated but ultimately gave in, in sore need of comfort. you couldn’t stop crying, soaking his shirt with tears as you curled into his arms and bawled. he rubbed your back, pressing soft kisses against the crown of your head.
“i-i don’t have time to take a break,” you wept, though you were still clutching him like you’d die if you let go. “i need to finish this paper…”
leon shook his head, tightening his arms around you. “no, sweetheart, you need to take a breather, okay? there’s no way you’re getting that paper done until you relax. everything’s going to be fine, i promise. i’ll make sure of it.”
he rocked you back and forth in his arms as you cried, wishing he had the power to just award you your degree himself. you had been so excited when you first began higher education and it pained him to see how much of a toll it had taken on you over the months.
after a while your hiccups and sobs had subsided and he was prepared to help you back to your desk… that is until he realized you were finally sleeping. he didn’t have the heart to wake you, and it was evident you needed a nap anyway.
instead he helped you over to the bed, tucking you under the plush covers with a gentle kiss to your forehead.
“you’re gonna be just fine, pretty girl,” he whispered, although he was doubtful you were conscious enough to hear him. “just get some rest.”
leon made sure to set an alarm for you that would hopefully give you enough time to rest and finish your paper before it was due.
exhausted from his assignment, leon snuggled in next to you and pulled you into his arms, drifting off alongside you in minutes.
your education could wait— your well-being could not.

Bestie… 31 with Steve 😅
bestie....of course. anyone who has ever read my stuff knows i am obsessed w putting people on the counter <3
kitchen counter make-outs __ "Hey," Steve whines from behind you. "Pay attention to me."
You give the stew one final stir before you replace the lid and turn the burner to low. A glance over your shoulder shows you Steve pouting from his place on the counter, his nose scrunched up and eyes wide and needy.
"I'm listening," you say. You reach up to grab some bowls from the cabinet before moving to the sink to clean up after yourself. Steve has been regaling you with whatever mischief he and Dustin got up to this week and you have been listening, you swear.
"No," he says again, still whiny and you are hopelessly endeared. "Do you have to clean now? Can you just c'mere instead?" You sigh dramatically before abandoning your mess and finally turning to face him. He spreads his knees wide and you move to stand between them. His palms slide into your back pockets and he's in your face immediately, leaning down and rubbing his nose against yours.
"Oh," you murmur. "I see. You just wanted some action, Harrington."
"So what if I did?" His words are hot on your skin, lips brushing yours with every word. "I've been staring at your ass for like, forty minutes."
"I guess we have time before dinner is ready--"
Steve closes the gap before you can finish talking, slotting his mouth over yours. His hands are cheeky, squeezing as he pulls you closer, hooking his ankles around you as your hands grip his thighs. He kisses you slowly, thoroughly, easily, like he has all the time in the world. You're usually the one on the counter but you'd insisted on cooking tonight and now you're extra glad because you love feeling like this: like Steve is everywhere, like he's all around you, like you're safe with him so close. And you are. His legs around you, his arms gentle yet firm as he pulls one hand out of your pocket to cup your jaw.
And his mouth. He's controlling the kiss but you give as good as you get, licking into his mouth and pulling a sound from him that makes your cheeks heat and your fingers press into his jeans even harder. It's a push and pull, making out with Steve, and you could do it for hours and you want to but then--
His stomach grumbles. He laughs against your lips, pulling away with a sheepish grin. His pupils are blown and his cheeks are rosy, lips swollen and slick. You bring a thumb up to wipe away some spit and he nips at you.
"Steve!" you laugh, trying to move out of the circle of his legs. He doesn't unlock his ankles right away, leaning down for another quick kiss, loud and messy.
"I can't help it," he grins. "You're delicious, baby. Can't get enough of you."

Poll Idea: WIP Potentials!
Okay guys, I have all these ideas in the WIP stew. I have the next part of Boat in the Water loading up and about to start a rough draft. But...which of these sounds good to you of these stories and requests crazy ideas I got.
Tumblr media
Court of Mischief Chapter 21: Reader is back with her hubby, and after some reunion hanky panky, they realize the key to Grendel's defeat can be found in the Trove, which they must obtain by visiting the worlds of the other variants, Kingdom Hearts Style. There are also plans for Reader and Sif to find something in the Asgardian library that could threaten them...or help them.
The Little Princess: based off of a request. Reader and Henry V have their first baby...and it's a girl. While the court may be disappointed, he still loves his daughter.
Birthday Blurb Request Title TD: "Who Did This To You?" with President Loki with spice. He will be protective over her bb and want to give her a mango ride, ehhehehehe.
Birthday Blurb Request Title TBD: "And there was one bed!" with Prof! Tom. I plan on Reader being a student, and somehow on a school trip or something, landing in one room with one bed with prof! Tom. Tension ensues, and there will be smut.
And now, for the random oneshots in my head...
The Maid of Harlefluer, Henry V x fem! Reader: This is the darkest idea I have since there is dubcon in it. But Henry V and his army enter Harlefleur for the French invasion, BUT in order to peacefully pass through, he requires a lady for his bed that night...and you are the one offered! Smut and angst and some fluff happens.
A Private Audience, Will Ransome x fem! Reader: Hold up, hold up, hear me out, this isn't a signal I've been kidnapped- I know, I'm shocked too. But I had an idea kind of based on "My Boy Breaks his Favorite Toys" from TTPD and a couple lines from chapter 19 in Pride and Prejudice concerning another suitor who is a clergyman named William, as well as headcanons I've read. Reader is new in town after the canon events and Will is a widower with the kiddos and he is showing interest in her, and Reader goes "oh, okay! He's a great guy! I won't mind his courtship!" But then...she somehow finds out about Cora and Stella and his past infidelity *record scratch* and that he is still talking with Cora via the letters(!!!!) and it changes everything internally. But despite this, one day he knocks on the door intending to propose marriage to Reader. Angst and drama ensues.
Which one sounds like something you wanna read about first?
Tell me what y'all think!
Taglist: @anukulee@asgards-princess-of-mischief@jennyggggrrr@five-miles-over@fictive-sl0th@ladycamillewrites@villainousshakespeare@holdmytesseract@eleniblue@twhxhck@lokisgoodgirl@lovelysizzlingbluebird@raqnarokr@holymultiplefandomsbatman@michelleleewise@wolfsmom1@cheekyscamp@mochie85@fandxmslxt69@skittslackoffilter@mischief2sarawr@jijilaufeyson

Hi! I looooove your work! I was wondering if you could write Aaron Hotchner x fem!reader, where the reader is normally VERY affectionate. But one day she overhears Aaron say something about her being too clingy or it bothering him, idk. Maybe they even have a fight. So, she stops being affectionate like she was, only giving the minimum (kiss on the cheek, etc). And Aaron realises how dependent he is on her affection? I love a good angst to fluff.
Thank you in advance, love ❤️❤️
A/N: you are welcome 💕 sorry this is not as fleshed out 🫣
Requests for blurbs are currently open here.
“Sweetheart,” he sighs, “I’m not saying I dislike it. All I’m saying is that it isn’t professional.”
You narrow your eyes at him, pressing your nails into the inside of your palm to keep the tears threatening to spill out from your eyes, at bay. It had all started when you had overheard him and Dave talking about your newfound relationship and the affection you displayed towards Aaron around the office.
It wasn’t that Dave had say anything bad, but it had become something Aaron had taken to stewing over, his concern about maintaining professionalism and your career at the forefront of his mind. The affection you displayed was nothing overt, just small touches here and there. However, the frequency of it, you would admit, was constant. Navigating a new relationship was always hard, but navigating a new relationship with your unit chief, even harder.
“Fine.” You state clearly, forcing all other reactions which you had considered displaying, down.
He looks at you, mild surprise on his face at your measured reaction.
“Uh, ok.” He blinks, not quite sure what to make of it. “I’ll see you tomorrow?”
He stands, rising from his office chair, and walking around the corner to kiss you goodbye. You turn your head at the last moment, accepting the kiss he had intended for your lips, on your cheek.
“Text me when you get home?” He asks, small frown on his face, slightly taken aback, but chalks it up to the conversation preceding.
“I will.”
-
“Duty calls.” Emily sighs as she sinks into the seat on the jet behind you.
“Duty is a bitch.” You grumble out in response, earning a snort from Derek.
You look down at your watch, which reads 6am and groan as you throw your head back against the headrest. You had barely slept, mulling over your tiff with Aaron when your phone rang, Penelope calling you back in.
“Hey.” His gravelly voice makes your eyes flicker open, you glance at him as he settles down beside you, dropping his phone onto the table with a clatter. You resist the urge to lean your head onto his shoulder.
“Hi.” You shutter your eyes close. He gets pulled away into conversation with Dave and you let yourself drift off to sleep, your head pressed against the cool glass of the airplane window.
You stir shortly after take off at the hand that finds its way onto your thigh, squeezing gently. Eyes closed, you shift in your seat, bundling your legs up towards a side, causing his hand to fall away. You don’t open your eyes so you miss the slight frown that etches its way onto his face.
-
“It doesn’t make sense.” You stare at the photos tacked up the board in front of you, arms folded across your chest.
“We must be missing something.” You hear Spencer mumble, red marker in hand as he stares between the photos and the map spread out on the adjacent board.
You both fall into stony, contemplative silence, minds working in overtime as you each attempt to piece together the information in front of you.
“New victim just dropped.” Detective Hernandez walks in, tacking a new set of photos to the board. You exhale sharply, while Spencer inches closer to the photo.
“Same killing pattern as the others,” he observes, before asking, “where was she found?”
“Two blocks south from the last victim.” Hernandez replies and Spencer goes straight to the map, marking out the scene with an “x”.
“He is waiting less in between kills.” Aaron cuts in, striding into the room and coming to a stop behind you, you tense up.
“Escalating.” Spencer mumbles as he stares intently at the smattering of red crosses on the map.
You feel Aaron’s hand come to rest lightly on the small of your back, and it makes you flinch. You know he is making up for the lack of affection and subtle touches that usually peppered his day, and you long to lean back, to relax into his touch, but you resist, choosing instead to step forward to stand beside Spencer.
The palm of his hand suddenly feels cold, from the lack of contact, and his lips part, as if to say something, but he closes them again as his phone rings.
-
“One sugar.” You say quietly, while handing him a cup of coffee. You had tried to fight it, but the shadows under his eyes and growing frustration that was rolling off him, told you he needed something extra.
“Thanks.” His tone is soft as he accepts the coffee cup from you. His finger tips brush against yours, but you pull away quickly once the cup is secured in his grasp. He stares at the back of your head intently as you bend over the photos spread across the conference table. He clenches his jaw, lips pressed into a firm line as accompaniment to the furrow of his brows.
-
“(Y/N),” the door of the hotel room closes behind you both, and immediately, his hands are on you, moving over your arms, your shoulders, neck and cradling your face. He is lowering his face, lips inches from yours, ready to claim a kiss, when he feels your hands push lightly against his chest in a refute.
“I’m tired Aaron,” you lie, and this time you see the frown, that had been slipping on and off his features all day, fix itself between his brows. “And we are on a case.” You bite out, a clear jab at your conversation from yesterday.
“I was wrong.” The words tumble out fast, and this time it is you that is surprised. He doesn’t let you out of his hold, but your arms remain pressed against his chest, still pushing with slight force.
“What?” You ask, un-elegantly because it is not what you were expecting.
“I need your touch.” His response is a mix of desperate yearning and sheepishness, something he clearly isn’t used to displaying, and it makes you slacken your push against him. He takes the chance to pull you in further, leaving you no choice but to slip your hands up and onto his shoulders.
“I take back what I said yesterday.” He breathes raggedly into the space between you both, defeat coating his features. It makes you relent, your hands slipping up to cradle his jaw in your hands, feeling his stubble scratch against your palms.
He leans forward slightly, angling for your lips and you tiptoe up to meet him as his hands roam down the small of your back, under your top and connecting with your skin.
“ ‘M sorry.” He apologises in between desperate kisses, and your fingers fumble, working on the knot in his tie as you kiss him back.

Dragon Age: The Official Cookbook: Tastes of Thedas lore post Part 2
This post is part 2 of 2. [Link to Part 1]
(Post contents under a cut, in case anyone would rather not read cookbook spoilers. also due to post length)
If I have forgotten, misread or misunderstood something, please let me know.
This post is complementary to Part 1, so please see Part 1. The first post contains some other information, such as a full list of what culture[s]/area[s] each dish comes from, a full list of all in-world ingredients mentioned and notes on the worldstate that the cookbook was written in. The lore collected in this post is just a general note of lore mentioned in the cookbook, so it contains both old/previously known lore, and new lore from the cookbook. There is a bit of repetition in places where a piece of lore made sense in include in multiple categories.
[☕ found this post or blog interesting or useful? my ko-fi is here if you feel inclined. thank you 🙏]
[Devon/mom mentions from blurbs]
Devon, their mother and the cookbook
The cookbook introduces a new character called Devon, who is the narrator, writer and compiler of the cookbook in-world. Devon is now an adult, and their mother was the cook for the Couslands at Castle Cousland (implied to be Nan from the Human Noble origin). In their youth Devon helped their mother out in the kitchen, undertaking chores like sweeping the floor. They also helped cook from time to time (which their mother approved of and expressed pride to them over). They were child-like and a dreamer, often daydreaming about going off on a grand adventure and engaging in acts of heroism, and getting into trouble from their mother due to this. They did not used to be very adept in the kitchen and at one time almost set Castle Cousland on fire with their first attempt at a stew. Since then they have been practising cooking extensively and are now a good cook. Their mother taught them the important lesson of love through food. Devon is very much their mother's child, and loves food.
The position of Cousland family cook is implied to no longer exist. Devon's mother is implied to have now passed away. (and in game Nan dies during Howe's Treachery)
Devon's mother nearly lost her mind trying to keep the Hero of Ferelden's mabari out of her larder. Similar to this, falling 'prey' to a nug's cute face once resulted in a nug (which are voracious omnivores) in Devon's kitchen eating lots of their food, and Devon discovering first-hand how voracious they can be in their efforts.
Devon has a desire to see all of Thedas and as an adult recently embarked on a journey to travel throughout Thedas in order to see and experience its different types of food, in order to honor and thank their mother. This was a year-long journey involving many weeks on the road, with the occasional encounter with bandits and beasts. They travelled by carriage and on foot.
Devon travelled throughout Thedas, including Nevarra, Orzammar, Tevinter, Ferelden, Orlais, Antiva, Rivain and among the Avvar. They met and spoke to various key characters including Varric, Sera, Krem and Bull's Chargers, and sampled every local cuisine they could get their hands on, even the downright strange. They filled their book with different recipes and thought of their mother with each new entry, in order to share them and the lesson their mother taught them with the rest of the world. Some of their recipes are based on these conversations. Others are Devon's mothers recipes or Devon's own recipes/experimentations with other foods.
Devon is something of a fan of the Hero of Ferelden, Hawke and the Inquisitor (especially the HoF) and displays a child-like excitement for the world. On their journey they tracked down foods eaten by the heroes and their companions. Devon's hero worship of the PCs and their companions was part of their motivation for their journey.
Devon's mother often had her hands full with the Cousland's meals.
Devon's mother had a recipe for Chocolate Cake. She baked it for Devon's tenth name-day and then at their every name-day after that as Devon always begged for this. To this day when Devon thinks about their mother's love for them, this cake sits front and center in their mind. The Fereldan Potato and Leek Soup included in the book is also hers, though for the book Devon put their own little twist on it, using crispy toasted chickpeas from Rivain for the crunch rather than a side of toasted bread. Devon loves stews and their mother's stews will always rule their heart (the recipe for King Alistair's Lamb and Pea Stew comes close to stealing that crown). Devon's mother always knew that there is no greater comfort than a warm slice of cobbler, and the simple pleasure of her baking would wash away all of Devon's troubles from the day when they ate some in her kitchen (it's hard to feel the sting of a skinned knee or a lost game when your belly is full of warm gooey goodness). Devon's mother usually made her cobblers with strawberries and rhubarb, but only the stems not the leaves as those are poisonous.
Devon's mother was kind and indulged her child, whom she loved.
Devon likes hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and dusted with cinnamon.
Devon loves sweets and desserts.
Tea is a nice accompaniment for sweet treats. Tea exists in many blends. Devon likes deciding which biscuit to pair with different blends.
Once when young Devon tripped and fell face-first into a patch of nettles. They cried and got a lecture from their mother, telling them to play elsewhere from then on. Also when Devon was young, they were very reluctant to eat their greens/vegetables. But their mother always used to say that you can't only live off meat, and any meal without vegetables is a meal half-finished. They didn't understand her reasoning then, but they do now. Ever since hearing Leliana kept a nug as a pet, Devon has desperately longed for a Schmooples of their own. Another lesson their mother taught them is that sides form an equal part of the equation in a meal to the main part of it, and that they deserve just as much care and attention as the dish they are served alongside.
Ferelden
Fereldans - including their mabari - love cheese and bacon.
Barley is a common grain grown in Ferelden. In Ferelden grain is usually barley or wheat. Rice is very rare in Ferelden.
Hearty Fereldan Scones are hearty, packed with cheese and bacon, and keep a person sated for a good while. They are less sweet and less delicate than their counterparts (referring to Orlesian scones?). Mabari like them due to the cheese and bacon content.
Pickled Eggs taste salty-sour and are a very common Fereldan folk remedy, 'prescribed' by them for almost anything, including fevers, colds, aching body parts and when you feel a bit of illness coming on (sounds like chicken soup in parts of our world hh ^^). If asked for advice on health or when they meet someone who looks a bit under the weather, many Fereldans recommend and provide pickled eggs. When Cullen was experiencing lyrium withdrawals, Fereldan members of the Inquisition left a heap of pickled eggs in his office. whether this actually works or not we don't know. Still, loving pickled eggs is a Fereldan trait and they are considered one of the country's finest snacks.
In Orlais, City and Dalish elves eat Peasant Bread, which is a rustic, hearty type of bread with a straightforward recipe that calls for wheat, salt and grease in nearly equal parts. This produces a biscuit that is good for mopping up last bits of stew and pairing with butter and jam. Devon remarks that this biscuit is reminiscent of Fereldan cuisine.
Fereldans love stews; people, including Fereldans themselves, joke about this often. The three key aspects of any good Fereldan stew are that it's hearty, humble and straightforward to make.
Devon assures the reader that Fereldans don't actually cook their ingredients until they're all "a uniform grey color", contrary to what Alistair once said. They do however throw them into the largest pot they can find, with the rationale being that if you're going to make a stew, you might as well make a lot of it.
Lamb and Pea Stew is hearty, humble, and straightforward to make. This dish is so ubiquitous in Ferelden that it's almost become synonymous with Fereldan cuisine.
Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup is a Fereldan staple and Fereldans enjoy it regularly. It's more solid than liquid, filled to the brim with cabbage, tomatoes and other vegetables, and is paired with a thick slice of bread. This makes it a filling, satisfying and warming meal, especially on cold days.
A troupe of actors in Orlais focus on a popular comedy set in the fictional Fereldan village of Wilkshire Downs. Their performances sell out almost instantly. In order to play their roles well, and out of dedication for their craft, the actors changed their diets to match those of their characters. For example, there's a mayor character who specifically only eats cabbage soup (bear in mind this is Orlesians trying to get in 'Fereldan character').
Nug Bacon and Egg Pie is a traditional Fereldan farmer's pie.
Fereldan ale is soothing and relatively easy on the stomach, compared to something like a Hissing Drake.
Fereldans love turnips and enthuse about them. Turnips make a good addition to any stews and are also good in pies. They're versatile and can be prepared in many ways (boiled, stir-fried, roasted, steamed, mashed, eaten raw, etc). Turnip and Mutton Pie is a classic Fereldan dish served at taverns across the country. It's an unmatched, rich comfort food that is good on cold or miserable days. Even the smell is comforting. It consists of tender chunks of lamb and turnip enveloped by buttery crust. Cole once evoked this sense of comfort by throwing a bushel of turnips into a fire.
Kirkwall
Crab Cakes is a classic Kirkwall dish.
The Hanged Man's Mystery Meat Stew is a famous dish from this Kirkwall tavern, and its feature dish. It's made from a different meat every morning, such as pork or something more suspicious/less appetizing. The waitress at the tavern claims that they hang people who ask what meat it is from the rafters.
Roasted Turkey With Sides is found in Starkhaven, Kirkwall and the Free Marches in general. This dish is common at birthday celebrations and dinner parties. The turkey is cooked til golden-brown and surrounded by a host of different sides, creating an impressive scene. This meal is complicated, difficult and time-consuming to prepare. The turkey alone can take hours to do. If a few sides are involved it can take most of the day, especially without kitchen staff. This meal is meant to be shared.
Orlais
A common feature of Orlesian cuisine is lots of cream.
Creamy soups seem to be emblematic of Orlesian cuisine.
Some strong/hot combinations of spices are a bit much for Orlesian palates, which are more delicate than others.
Lately in the Grey Wardens, a new variation of the Grey Warden Pastry Pockets (pastries stuffed with meat, potatoes and onion) recipe was introduced by new recruits from Orlais, which uses the more delicate Orlesian puff pastry. These newer pastries are delicious hot or cold but can't really be stored anywhere where they may be jostled as they will get mushed, unlike the original version of the recipe, which was tougher so as not to fall apart in packs when on the road.
A troupe of actors in Orlais focus on a popular comedy set in the fictional Fereldan village of Wilkshire Downs. Their performances sell out almost instantly. In order to play their roles well, and out of dedication for their craft, the actors changed their diets to match those of their characters. For example, there's a mayor character who specifically only eats cabbage soup (bear in mind this is Orlesians trying to get in 'Fereldan character').
Honey Carrots is an Orlesian staple, often found on the table at meal times in Orlais. The traditional Orlesian rendition of this dish is sweet due to liberal application of honey, implying that outside of Orlais other takes on this dish are less sweet with less honey due to differing palates/cuisine styles (since Orlesian standards run sweet).
"Blancmange" is an Orlesian word which literally translates as "white eating". The dish Blancmange is white pudding made with either milk or heavy cream that has been thickened. On its own it has a sweetness that is mild by Orlesian standards; it's generally served with various toppings which amplify the sweet flavors. Possible toppings include red grape compôte, toasted almonds, ribbons of fresh mango and cherry sauce (the latter is Devon's preference). Alone blancmange is plain-looking so the toppings are also a way to decorate it with various designs.
Vivienne's preferred arrangement of Blancmange is a stunning, elegant, pristine white-on-white tableau of white chocolate curls and whole jasmine flowers, served on a dark plate for contrast.
Orlesian dinner parties are long indulgent slews of extravagance. Not finishing all of the courses may be perceived as being rude to the host or taken by them as offensive.
Orlesian desserts often include sugar and cream.
Sour Cherries in Cream is an Orlesian dessert composed of a small bowl filled with black cherries dressed in sweet cherry sauce and whipped cream. This dish is an example of one which is lighter fare than usual for Orlesian cuisine, and may be eaten as the last course of an extensive dinner party (as even the Orlesians are sometimes in need of lighter fare).
The Orlesians know how to make a good pastry.
Croissants are the most well-known Orlesian pastry. They are a lot of work to make. To achieve their famous flaky texture, dough is layered with butter and then rolled (with a rolling pin) and folded several times over, before being rolled into a thin sheet.
In Orlais, City Elves and Dalish Elves eat Peasant Bread, a rustic, hearty type of bread with a straightforward recipe that calls for wheat, salt and grease in nearly equal parts. This produces a biscuit that is good for mopping up last bits of stew and pairing with butter and jam. Devon remarks that the biscuit is reminiscent of Fereldan cuisine.
Tevinter
A mysterious, strange, impossible-to-identify meat is often served in taverns across Tevinter, often with a big portion of Nevarran flat bread. It's something of a tall tale. Devon ordered a portion, wondering what exotic species it could be, and it turned out to be delicious chicken legs.
Stuffed Vine Leaves is a classic Tevinter appetizer sold in taverns there. Tender leaves are stuffed with rice, herbs and sometimes minced meat. Devon recommends topping it with lemon juice and some tzatziki sauce.
Dorian loves chocolate-coated orange peels, colloquially known as "Poison Stings". They are sweet, sour, crunchy, chewy and energizing. Dorian ate these a lot on his travels from Tevinter to Ferelden to join the Inquisition.
Cherry Cupcakes are decadent little pink cakes served alongside other sweets by servants on stilts at the Tevinter theater. The servants carry them to each private box. The cakes both taste and look good. They were once used as a vehicle for deadly poisons.
Tevinter Pumpkin Bread is one of Dorian's favorite foods. They are wonderful treats with limited ingredients, and can be made in a pan.
Starkhaven
Starkhaven Fish and Egg Pie is famous, almost oval in shape and stuffed full of fish from the Minanter River. It has a light flaky crust.
Starkhaven is beautiful, almost oval in shape, sits perched on the Minanter River and is crowned with solid rings of tall, gray stone. It has lavish estates and fountains. Minanter River fish are implied to be common in Starkhaven cuisine and trade.
Prince Sebastian Vael has high popularity.
Roasted Turkey With Sides is found in Starkhaven, Kirkwall and the Free Marches in general. This dish is common at birthday celebrations and dinner parties. The turkey is cooked til golden-brown and surrounded by a host of different sides, creating an impressive scene. This meal is complicated, difficult and time-consuming to prepare. The turkey alone can take hours to do. If a few sides are involved it can take most of the day, especially without kitchen staff. This meal is meant to be shared.
Free Marches
Roasted Turkey With Sides is found in Starkhaven, Kirkwall and the Free Marches in general. This dish is common at birthday celebrations and dinner parties. The turkey is cooked til golden-brown and surrounded by a host of different sides, creating an impressive scene. This meal is complicated, difficult and time-consuming to prepare. The turkey alone can take hours to do. If a few sides are involved it can take most of the day, especially without kitchen staff. This meal is meant to be shared.
Nevarra
The gardens of Nevarra are extremely beautiful, dazzling in their vibrancy.
In Nevarran culture, food is as much a feast for the eyes as for the mouth. They create artful and aesthetically pleasing food arrangements. Nevarrans like their dishes to be pleasing to the eye, and take this into account when cooking.
Nevarran flat bread goes from dough to ready to eat in minutes, contrasting other methods of making bread which involve baking loaves for hours. It can be eaten in many ways, including on its own, brushed with oil, or as a vehicle for an assortment of dips such as yogurt dip.
A mysterious, strange, impossible-to-identify meat is often served in taverns across Tevinter, often with a big portion of Nevarran flat bread. It's something of a tall tale. Devon ordered a portion, wondering what exotic species it could be, and it turned out to be delicious chicken legs.
Antiva
Antivan cuisine includes pasta.
Dinnertime is usually a late-night affair in Antiva.
Rice is not seen much outside of Antiva and Rivain. Antiva exports very little of its rice. Due to this, in Antiva it's relatively cheap compared to other grains and is a key component in dishes favored by less well off Antivans. Crow Feed is a simple, cheap and delicious dish of rice, butter and onions, named after the Antivan Crows.
Fish Chowder is a classic Antivan dish. It's a thick creamy soup that evokes Antiva City.
Pickpockets seem to be common in Antiva/Antiva City, as Devon includes them alongside corrupt politicians and Antivan leather when referencing Zevran's homesickness for the place and creating an image in the mind's eye of Antiva.
Antivan meals "sure are something to behold". Antivan nobles have decadent, indulgent spreads for dinner involving lots of courses. Such dinners can have ten dishes, full of ingredients like olives, truffles, pasta and cream.
Gnocchi is a filling Antivan dish, with small pieces made of wheat, flour, egg salt and potato. It may be dressed with leeks and rich cheese sauce.
Being bordered by the Rialto Bay to the east, Antiva is mostly populated on the coast. Because of this seafood plays a starring role in Antivan cuisine. The classic Antivan paella exemplifies this, consisting of rice, saffron and a variety of seafood, from whole shrimp to cuttlefish to mussels. It's made in a single pot and the end result is aromatic. It's traditionally cooked in a shallow, wide pan called a paellera (or confusingly, in some parts of Antiva, a paella) but can be prepared in almost any deep skillet. It's best paired with a glass of wine, preferably an Antivan vintage. Josie recommends doing this. :)
Cacio e Pepe is a classic, simple Antivan dish among its rich and poor alike. It's composed of three main ingredients - pasta, cheese and pepper. Despite its simplicity it's hard to make correctly. The sauce has to be smooth, not clumpy, which is a surprisingly difficult task. However the skill of making it can be learned with practise and perseverance. Antivan grandmothers may sternly judge their young family members' attempts at making it correctly, only approving when it's just right.
Treviso is a port city in northern Antiva that was captured and liberated several times during the Qunari Wars and the New Exalted Marches. During the dark times of occupation, food was scarce, and the city residents had to make do with what limited ingredients they had. From their creativity in these times Treviso Energy Balls were born. These combine peanut butter, nuts and dried fruit into a bite-sized treat that contains lots of energy. They are ideal to take with you when hiking.
Antivan Apple Grenade is an Antivan dessert (sweet pastry bundles filled with piping-hot apple) named for resembling the fire grenades used by the Antivan Crows, both in shape and in heat.
Rivain
Rivaini cuisine includes couscous (a sort of pasta made with semolina flour and water, a lot smaller than typical Antivan pasta). Couscous sounds like it is not common or even known at all in the south. It has a mild slightly nutty flavor on its own and excels in soaking up surrounding flavors, making it a great base for salads.
Rice is not seen much outside of Antiva and Rivain.
Chickpeas come from Rivain.
In Rivain, a Goat Custard recipe is very popular as a dessert. The custard is made from goat's milk and studded with roasted figs to add sweetness to the overall richness. Milk from the Ayesleigh gulabi goat is particularly prized by custard connoisseurs in Thedas due to its natural sweetness, which when used in this recipe enhances the sweet flavors.
The classic Rivaini Tea Blend is probably the most famous tea blend in Thedas. It's a mixture of peppermint, lemon verbena, oregano and licorice root. This combination is soothing and said to have healing properties. Celene of Orlais drinks this tea throughout the day to alleviate headaches.
Anderfels
Smoked Ham from the Anderfels doesn't actually taste of despair, contrary to what rumors and the importers say. The Anderfels are largely ill-suited for farming, but pigs do surprisingly well there despite the inhospitable climate. Due to this Anderfels ham is big and is delicious when glazed. Devon favors a glaze made from a combination of apples and apricots. One glaze in particular is made from wildflowers and can turn a smoked ham as hard as jade, rendering it unsuitable for eating.
Seheron
Seheron smells like tea, incense and the sea.
Seheron Fish Pockets are hot due to a combination of spices, but the heat is tempered somewhat by the soft wrap and crisp vegetables. (They are a group favorite food of Bull's Chargers). The fish involved is packed with flavor and the pockets fall apart if eaten haphazardly. Devon learned this recipe from one of Bull's Chargers.
Avvar
The Avvar are gatherers as well as hunters.
When Avvar can't hunt gurguts and wyverns, they go for smaller prey and forage for alternative food items such as snails, which are common on hillside boulders. Snails are an abundant and traditional source of food for the Avvar. When prepared correctly the texture and flavor are good. It sounds like the Avvar usually eat them without accompanying ingredients such as salad. They can be dressed in butter and oil. They aren't common in Lowlander cuisine and many Lowlanders are unconvinced on eating/trying them.
Many Avvar settlements populate the Frostbacks. In spring Avvar begin preparing for the following winter by smoking meat, picking vegetables and drying fruit. Springtime is the gurgut's mating season. At this time especially travelers are advised to keep their distance from gurguts, as they're dangerous.
Lowlander spices are prized among the Avvar and often reserved for feasts as rare delicacies.
The Avvar are generally utilitarian in their cooking methods, with lots of stews. Holds by lakes and rivers have a unique way of cooking fish. Instead of using a pan, the fish is wrapped in pungent leaves and salt then left baking all day over banked coals. Like stews, this method of cooking does not require constant attention. The salt helps keep moisture inside the fish, which turns the flesh creamy and tender. Cracking the salt open is good fun.
Avvar live on whatever they can glean from the land owing to living in the inhospitable Frostbacks. They hunt all kinds of beasts, including harts, rams, lurkers, gurguts and sometimes even wyverns. Wyvern can be delicious but if not prepared correctly are very poisonous. Correct preparation involves following detailed instructions.
Chasind
Chasind love poussin, a good alternative to roast turkey though significantly smaller in size. The Chasind typically cook it in a large pot over an open fire for an extended period of time. A similar effect can be achieved with any other cookware of suitable size and an oven. The secret to tender meat that falls off the bone is marinating and basting it to keep it moist during the cooking process. Devon recommends grilled poussin for more intimate dinner parties with smaller guest lists.
Chasind drink Chasind Wildwine and Chasind Sack Mead. Both are strong, even brutal. The flavor of the sack mead is almost poetic. First there is an overwhelming rush of honey, tinged with the sour-sweetness of apple blossoms, that fills the mouth with all the bright warmth of a summer's day. The initial sweetness then fades and there comes an unexpected bitterness, reminiscent of the slow decay into fall. The drink is therefore like the turning of the seasons in a single cup/sack.
Dalish Elves
Preserved foods play an important role in many different cultures across Thedas, including the Dalish. They help communities weather times of scarcity (e.g. in winter) and allow people to make long journeys away from home.
Dalish hunters take preserved foods such as Spiced Jerky with them on their hunts as provisions so that they can bring back game the clan is depending on. It means they won't be hungry and don't have to be back in time for dinner. Due to how long it lasts, Devon wonders if Spiced Jerky is used in offerings made by certain Dalish to Fen'Harel. His shrines are usually located well outside of Dalish camps, but Devon posits that leaving behind food that would readily spoil would be bad practise, especially given the fact that the prevailing opinion on these shrines is to avoid them.
Dalish make Hearth Cakes as comfort food. They are traditionally made over the hearth on an iron griddle or skillet, hence the name. The original recipe calls for halla butter but other types of butter work just as well. The resulting dough stays moist inside but crisp and flaky on the outside. Hearth Cakes can be made plain or with added dried fruit, such as cranberries, raisins and currants. The Dalish use whatever is on hand.
In Orlais, City Elves and Dalish Elves eat Peasant Bread, a rustic, hearty type of bread with a straightforward recipe that calls for wheat, salt and grease in nearly equal parts. This produces a biscuit that is good for mopping up last bits of stew and pairing with butter and jam. Devon remarks that the biscuit is reminiscent of Fereldan cuisine.
The Dalish make a warm, gooey, comforting dessert called Dalish Forest Fruit Cobbler using whatever forest fruit is currently in season.
City Elves
In Orlais, City Elves and Dalish eat Peasant Bread, a rustic, hearty type of bread with a straightforward recipe that calls for wheat, salt and grease in nearly equal parts. This produces a biscuit that is good for mopping up last bits of stew and pairing with butter and jam. Devon remarks that the biscuit is reminiscent of Fereldan cuisine.
Lentil Soup is a popular recipe in City Elven alienages.
Orzammar / dwarves
Underground, dwarves raise spiders to eat just as surface folk raise cows and goats (this factoid appearing in the cookbook reinforces or perhaps, more accurately, properly canonizes this aspect of Orzammar/underground dwarven culture, as this was previously only featured in the DA TTRG). Spider legs are fried and served with a sauce containing alcohol. Spider legs are not unlike crab legs in taste. Sourcing spider legs above ground is not easy, and the demand from the surface for this kind of export from underground is minimal.
In dwarven culture sauces are often made with some type of alcohol. The precise kind depends on the establishment in question. The recipes for these sauces are closely-guarded secrets which chefs won’t specify. There are many varieties of these sauces. Orzammar has a fierce competition (to be crowned Orzammar’s Best Sauce) and so dwarves sometimes devise nefarious schemes and plots to acquire the secret sauce recipes. Lichen ale is generally not used in these sauces.
All mushrooms growing underground in caves and the Deep Roads are called "deep mushrooms" but there is no one variety of deep mushroom. There are in fact several. Some are squat, broad and flat-capped, while others are long and spindly, reaching towards the sky like an old man's gnarled fingers. They are used for many things, from making health potions to deadly poisons.
In Orzammar, deep mushrooms are farmed for eating. There they are a delicacy prized for their unique flavor and intoxicating scent. Some dwarves believe that a deep mushroom's proximity to lyrium and darkspawn improves its flavor. Devon, who is almost certainly human, suggests that non-dwarves and Surface dwarves who have lost their lyrium resistance should not eat deep mushrooms that have been in proximity to lyrium.
Dwarves roast cave beetles in their shells. Eaten in this way they are not unlike prawns, being similar in texture and flavor. This aspect of the lore book properly canonizes or reinforces another thing about dwarven underground culture that was previously only featured in the DA TTRPG.
Underground dwarves eat bread made from black lichen. Black lichen is toxic but high temperatures seem to largely neutralize this, making it safe to consume. Surface varieties of lichen can be substituted for the lichen used in making Black Lichen Bread. Any lichen used in making lichen bread needs to be thoroughly dried. Bark can also be used in place of lichen, although this would make the resulting bread more bark bread than lichen bread.
Nugs are edible and a key part of dwarven cuisine. The first dwarf to attempt eating one was called Varen. He did so out of desperation but became a paragon for his culinary discovery. The flavor is like a cross between pork and rabbit. Nugs are very tender, especially when roasted. There are lots of nug-based dishes including Nug Pancakes and nug-gets. For nug pancakes, other meats can be substituted.
Orzammar offers little in the way of choice when it comes to locally-produced foods. However, trade with the surface has ensured that foods from above ground are very popular underground. Jam, especially plum jam, is in especially high demand. It's very expensive there and only the most wealthy and influential Orzammar residents can afford it due to this. Recently Devon encountered a local jam maker in Orzammar who, rather than purchase jams as-is from merchants has opted to import only the individual components, in the hope that by making them themselves, they can sell the product at a much more reasonable price.
Food is easily defined underground; as long as it's edible and capable of being scavenged, it gets eaten. A surface dweller's understanding of "edible" may not align exactly with that of an Orzammar dwarf.
Lichen Ale is the drink of choice among Dust Town dwarves. It is literally toxic. In sufficient quantities it can overpower even the heartiest of dwarven constitutions. Consequently non-dwarves must approach it with caution. Most can tolerate a few sips without issues. Devon devised their own rendition of Lichen Ale using the dwarven recipe as a base, so that non-dwarves can enjoy the look and most of the flavors of the original without fear of poisoning themselves.
Grey Wardens
Grey Wardens undertake exhausting work in poor climates on patrol on the road. As such they need food items more nourishing than handfuls of nuts. On the road they often eat Grey Warden Pastry Pockets, pastries stuffed with meat, potatoes and onion. The original recipe produced a tough pastry to stop it falling apart in their packs. Lately a new variation of the recipe was introduced by new recruits from Orlais, which uses the more delicate Orlesian puff pastry. These newer pastries are delicious hot or cold but can't really be stored anywhere where they may be jostled as they will get mushed, unlike the original version of the recipe, which was tougher so as not to fall apart in packs when on the road.
Characters
When Cullen was experiencing lyrium withdrawals Fereldan members of the Inquisition left a heap of Pickled Eggs in his office, as these are a common Fereldan folk cure for many ailments.
Solas' bald head was at one point compared to an egg by another character.
Seheron Fish Pockets are a group favorite food of Bull's Chargers.
Krem tells an amazing story of a time when he, Bull and five other Chargers defended a village from fifty bandits. When the bandits were defeated and the Chargers went to collect their payment, the villagers paid them with several bags of rice rather than in gold. The Chargers used it to make dishes such as Rice Pudding.
Prince Sebastian Vael has high popularity.
There are rumors of a kind and appearing hero (Diplomatic Hawke).
Cole once evoked the sense of comfort from turnips/Turnip and Mutton Pie felt by Fereldans by throwing a bushel of turnips into a fire, via the smell.
Sera's Yummy Corn recipe is simple, yet strict, with no wraps and no non-yellow corn allowed. The corn should be checked for rot, peeled halfway, washed, cooked, peeled again and eaten. Devon holds that other varieties of corn would work fine too, but when they suggested this to Sera she was so disgusted that they couldn't bring themselves to try it. Devon assures the reader that merchant-bought corn is fine however.
Vivienne's preferred arrangement of Blancmange is a stunning, elegant, pristine white-on-white tableu of white chocolate curls and whole jasmine flowers, served on a dark plate for contrast.
Vivienne starts off her day with a croissant.
Dorian loves chocolate-coated orange peels, colloquially known as "Poison Stings". They are sweet, sour, crunchy, chewy and energizing. Dorian ate these a lot on his travels from Tevinter to Ferelden to join the Inquisition.
Tevinter Pumpkin Bread is one of Dorian's favorite foods. They are wonderful treats with limited ingredients, and can be made in a pan.
The Hero of Ferelden's mabari is very good at finding items. One time he even found a cake of a chocolate cream variety, topped with white frosting and fresh strawberries. Devon's mother nearly lost her mind trying to keep the Hero of Ferelden's mabari out of her larder.
Sugar Cake is a simple, humble cake topped with a sweet mixture of butter, sugar and almonds. Devon purchased one from a surface dwarf merchant who assured them that it would be well-received by any companion. The merchant told Devon that even the Hero of Fereldan purchased a few of these cakes as companion gifts.
Varric can disarm with humor, charm or through his spy network. Peoples' exasperation at his nicknames amuses him. He has a soft spot for the softer heroes, like Merrill, Bethany and Cole.
Cinnamon Rolls are one of Varric's favorite sweets. They are warm, sweet and comforting, perfect for time spent reminiscing.
Varric loves pastries, to the point that he's liable to steal them off windowsills if they have been left there to cool unattended.
Devon had an extensive consultation with Varric in order to put together the recipe for Varric's Favorite Pastries.
Varric loves sweets.
Isabela once played a drinking game where participants drank based on the number of enemies they had. This game killed a man.
Lampreys are one of Thedas' more unique-looking creatures. They have long slender bodies and toothed, suction-cup mouths. They are rare in Thedosian cuisine as they have noxious flavors. Lord Norbert de la Haine, who wanted to conquer the Free Marches, had a peculiar, singular fondness for pickled lampreys.
Iron Bull loves sweets. Hot chocolate is a particular favorite of his, to the point that it's practically a necessity for him. He swears by cocoa powder which is sometimes difficult to find (in the south). He takes his with hot milk and some Orlesian guimauves.
The classic Rivaini Tea Blend is probably the most famous tea blend in Thedas. It's a mixture of peppermint, lemon verbena, oregano and licorice root. This combination is soothing and said to have healing properties. Celene of Orlais drinks this tea throughout the day to alleviate headaches.
Other / unspecified / general
Preserved foods play an important role in many different cultures across Thedas. They help communities weather times of scarcity (e.g. in winter) and allow people to make long journeys away from home.
Lentil and onions are Thedosian stapes found in every pantry across Thedas. They're relatively inexpensive, keep well for long periods and go with almost anything. They play a supporting role in many dishes.
Fluffy Mackerel Pudding is a unique combination of mackerel, onion, celery and eggs that is strongly associated as a dish with Feast Day, when it is often eaten (as "Feast Day Fish"). There are stories that several decades ago, someone once attempted a diet consisting entirely of this dish.
There is a type of 'blood' soup which is vibrant red due to beetroot. It has a rich, earthy flavor and is topped with roasted chickpeas. This dish could either be one Merrill makes (since "Sera's Yummy Corn" is Sera's recipe, and this is "Merrill's Blood Soup"), or else it's named after her.
Roasted turkey is a dish that is sometimes cooked when having guests over for a dinner party.
Allowing nugs near kitchen pantries and stores is a recipe for disaster. They are voracious omnivores.
Sera's Yummy Corn recipe is simple, yet strict, with no wraps and no non-yellow corn. The corn should be checked for rot, peeled halfway, washed, cooked, peeled again and eaten. Devon holds that other varieties of corn would work fine too, but when they suggested this to Sera she was so disgusted that they couldn't bring themselves to try it. Devon assures the reader that merchant-bought corn is fine however.
Fruit cobbler is also a dessert known/made in other groups in Thedas, not just the Dalish, as Devon's mother baked it for them when they were young. Devon's mother usually made her cobblers with strawberries and rhubarb stems (not leaves, as those are poisonous).
There is a big variety of custards across Thedas.
Cinnamon Rolls are warm, sweet and comforting, perfect for time spent reminiscing.
Sugar Cake is a simple, humble cake topped with a sweet mixture of butter, sugar and almonds. Devon purchased one from a surface dwarf merchant who assured them that it would be well received by any companion. The merchant told Devon that even the Hero of Fereldan purchased a few of these cakes as companion gifts.
Lampreys are one of Thedas' more unique-looking creatures. They have long slender bodies and toothed, suction-cup mouths. They are rare in Thedosian cuisine as they have noxious flavors. Lord Norbert de la Haine, who wanted to conquer the Free Marches, had a peculiar, singular fondness for pickled lampreys.
The Gilded Horn is a tavern which sells drinks like Hissing Drakes. Hissing Drakes have fiery effects on the stomach such that no sober individual would dare to down more than a single glass at a time. Drinking several in quick succession is quite a feat and formed the basis of a drinking game among some drunk young men that Devon witnessed. The men managed two or three servings before vomiting over the balcony.
There are many ways to dress up a cup of hot chocolate.
Antivan Sip-Sip packs a punch. People who are capable of downing an entire glass are made of quite stern stuff. Devon speculates that it's called a "sip-sip" because each sip of it must be chased by a sip of something else. When Devon tried it, they could scarcely manage more than a small sip at once, even though they also had a big glass of water at the time.
Dragon Piss burns like a dragon's breath both in the glass and going down.
Tea is a nice accompaniment for sweet treats. Tea exists in many blends. Devon likes deciding which biscuit to pair with different blends.
Snails aren't common in Lowlander cuisine and many Lowlanders are unconvinced on eating/trying them.
Nevarran flat bread goes from dough to ready to eat in minutes, contrasting other methods of making bread which involve baking loaves for hours.
Travel by carriage is mentioned.
Despite the name the drink The Golden Nug is pink. Inspiration for the drink was drawn from typical living nugs rather than the golden statues. The drink is made of a base of white Seleney wine sweetened with a splash of West Hill Brandy. This dilutes the color of the pomegranate juice and mulled raspberries into a soft, pinkish hue. The goal is to imitate the color of a typical nug.
Chantry sisters make some marvelous creations, including a spirit used in the making of The Emerald Valley drink which is distilled from over seventy different herbs and flowers. This spirit has a complex, varied flavor bursting with the freshness of a green valley.
Nettles are nutritious and delicious.

joking with bf about tumblr and realized I don't understand what people get out of social media anymore - like at all.
My first real "social media" was myspace. It was short-lived. But I liked that (back then) you had your own page, you filled it out with your information, you had your music and banners etc. Not so many images back then, but the point was your page was yours. Customizing your own space was fun.
Then I moved on to livejournal which was even more self-involved. You had your journal that was just yours. You could put anything in it, anything you wanted, and it wouldn't go away unless you chose to delete it. But other people could look at it and interact with you in the comments. And you could join communities where you'd meet other people with similar interests, which would then lead them to visit your journal and you to visit them.
When lj tanked I moved to tumblr, where once again, I have my own space, I can talk about whatever I want, people can choose to interact with me if they feel like it, plus there are visuals and video and a feed which delivers new posts from people I follow. It's easier than ever to just explore, meet people with similar interests, and make connections, while cultivating my own journal/scrapbook that is a record of myself over the years.
It seems to me that self-involved element just isn't interesting to many people anymore. Even though Instagram and Tiktok are definitely very invested in the self! I guess the argument is probably that no one reads text posts anyway, the best way is to post video or images and at most have a short quick to read blurb attached at the bottom. But the attraction of text posts, for me, was never the idea that other people were going to read them. It was simply self-expression. The enjoyment of talking about what's going on with me and working through it. It's nice to get comments, but sometimes the comments, well, make you feel worse, especially on a personal post.
On fandom posts I hoped for notes, but in general I liked to stew in anonymity. I thought about having separate blogs for fandom posts and personal ones. But you know why I didn't? Because I like going to someone's blog and seeing more there than just their art or fanfiction. I like knowing a thing or two about their lives. Not so I can judge them. Because it makes them feel real, relatable, like a friend. Someone I'm not meant to worship for their skill, but appreciate and support, by my own choice, as part of a community. When there's no info at all and it's just a fandom blog, it feels commercial to me. I'm always relieved when a fandom blog links to their personal blog, although I also find that much more jarring than if everything's just in one place and searchable by tags.
These days everyone tells me to be on Discord, Tiktok, or Instagram. But in none of those places can I develop my own personal space the way I like to. I can't even find groups with similar interests on them. Maybe some exist, but if they do they're nowhere near as easy to find as they used to be. When I was in my twenties I could always find people to chill with, no matter how tiny the fandom was. Now the point is to have a sleek, clean, specific persona so people know immediately what you're selling (even when no actual money is involved). You're selling art, you're selling fanfiction, you're selling meta, you're selling activism, you're selling witticisms. That's all great. And what we've all known, even since the days of myspace, is that what doesn't sell is personal posts. Talk about yourself = followers walk away. There's nothing for them here. Multi-fandom blog? Yeah but I only like one fandom you do, so clearly we have nothing in common and shouldn't interact. Lol. Honestly there are so many people here on tumblr I'd like to interact with, except when I visit their blogs they seem like they wouldn't want to interact with me. I'm only a little bit cottagecore, not 100% cottagecore. I sometimes post about books, but sometimes about anime. So the book-lovers who stick up their nose at anime don't want to hang out with me, and the anime-lovers who don't get classical literature maybe think I'm gonna be a snob toward them. Because they know "too much" about me. If they knew less, if they knew only what they'd feel comfortable knowing, because my blog is anime-only or something, then maybe we'd be friends. Not that I'd call that friendship :) but you know, in that shallow, hyper-specific social media sense of the word.
That's my theory. I never was popular on any social media site - personal blogs rarely are! Never wanted to be either (I've been here since I was in college and uhhh absolutely do not judge me please by anything I wrote when I was stupid nineteen). And it may be that very personal feature of tumblr which makes it less attractive to people than places where the point is to be a persona, instead of a person. Persona attracts, person not so much.
I just feel sad that this type of social media seems to be disappearing when I have no appreciation for the type that's replaced it. Believe it or not, I want to see y'all's novel-length text posts. Even when I don't read them, I still want to see them. I like having my little group that I follow and the only people I unfollow are blogs which self-promote more than I have a taste for. Small spaces are so underrated and I guess that's only to be expected.

FINAL ROUND
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In-game character blurbs and additional info under the cut!
-Eva
Eva is a talented baker who enjoys talking to the islanders – locals, newcomers, visitors, everybody – and she has many good friends.
Hand her some Cookies, a Red velvet cake, a Peony, an Orchid, or a Diamond and she will say to you "Oh my Goddess! If you insist… Thank you so much!"
However hand her any kind of Potato, Taro root, or Garlic and she'll tell you "That…smells awful. I’m sorry, but it does."
On your first meeting she says "Oh, nice to meet you too! My name’s Everest. Eva for short. We don’t see too many new faces, so your arrival is great for the town."
When she's not working you can find her spending her evenings at Fish 'N Sips or enjoying her day at the beach.
-Millie
Millie works at the library and oversees the museum. She spends her free time bird-watching and restoring old books.
Hand her some Sugarcane, Veggie ramen, Seafood ramen, Stew, and Assorted grilled platter, a Melon or an Olive and she'll tell you "My, this is unbelievable! I'm so grateful. Thank you!"
Hand her a fish though and she'll let you know "Such a peculiar aroma."
On your first meeting she says to you "Yes, [Player]! I’ve been meaning to meet you. My name is Millie. It’s so exciting to have people moving in. Have you met everyone?"
When she's not working you can find her reading a book at the beach, garden lane, next to the river, or at the community garden. Or perhaps on a cold morning you may bump into her at the hot springs. Or of course enjoying a nice cup of tea at Raja's.

Rating: 4/5
Book Blurb: The follow-up to Foz Meadows's A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, All the Hidden Paths is a sultry political & romantic fantasy exploring gender, sexuality, identity, and self-worth.
With the plot against them foiled and the city of Qi-Katai in safe hands, newlywed and tentative lovers Velasin and Caethari have just begun to test the waters of their relationship. But the wider political ramifications of their marriage are still playing out across two nations, and all too soon, they’re summoned north to Tithena’s capital city, Qi-Xihan, to present themselves to its monarch.
With Caethari newly invested as his grandmother’s heir and Velasin’s old ghosts gnawing at his heels, what little peace they’ve managed to find is swiftly put to the test. Cae’s recent losses have left him racked with grief and guilt, while Vel struggles with the disconnect between instincts that have kept him safe in secrecy and what an open life requires of him now. Pursued by unknown assailants and with Qi-Xihan’s court factions jockeying for power, Vel and Cae must use all the skills at their disposal to not only survive, but thrive.
Because there’s more than one way to end an alliance, and more than one person who wants to see them fail…and they will resort to murder if needed.
Review:
Picking up where the first book left off Velasin and Caethari are now married and navigating the new waters of their marriage while dealing with assassins, politics, and trying to find love. Velasin is still dealing with his ptsd from the assault from a previous lover while trying to stewing in his own self misery and what he wants his relationship to Cae to be. Caethari is made the new heir to his grandmother and must travel to establish his title. Cae never wanted to lose his grandmother and is also still reeling from his sister's subsequent betrayal and her murdering the rest of their family. Cae is wracked with guilt and grief while Vel is struggling with trying to express what he wants and keeping everything to himself. They are both pursued by unknown assailants and are trying to navigate Qu-Xhan's court factions who are vying for power. Vel and Cae's relationship was a really slow burn one, the miscommunication, lack of talking to your partner, and just dumb decisions could be so grating but it paid off in the end. We are also introduced to Asterion, someone who is blackmailed to either seduce or kill Vel or Cae, by Vel's own family. Asterion doesn't want to do it but his mother's life is being threatened and he'd do anything to protect her... yet he finds himself drawn in by General Naza, someone who is powerful yet soft with him, someone who knows exactly what Asterion needs. Can Cae and Vel work out who is trying to kill them and finally be clear with each other about their feelings, or will they die before they even get to tell each other the truth. This was a really interesting second novel, it was hard at parts to read because you really do care for the characters and you want them to heal and be happy, but it's hard and difficult, and they do make frustrating decisions, but in the end it was a really great read and I can't wait for the second one.
*Spoilers: Cae and Vel do finally tell each other they love each other, and despite Asterion trying to seduce either of them they remained faithful and firm in their love for one another. Asterion manages to get his mother out safe and General Naza (quites his job) and they do become sort of lovers. Naza clearly cares for Asterion but they are unsure about their new feelings as Naza had left his post and he and Asterion traveled to meet Asterion's mother together. Cae and Vel find out that it was one of other tiern's who wanted power for herself and to marry Cae but she ends up killing herself after revealing the truth and making her heir Ethian (an innocent who had a crush on Vel). Markel , my icon, is still alive, hilarious, and healthy. We stay winning yall.
*Thanks Netgalley and Tor Publishing Group, Tor Books for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

your little blurb turned whole ass fic ??? AMAZING BEAUTIFUL LIFE CHANGING WRITING
I’m not even kidding I loved it so much and if you’re up for it , maybe a part 2 ?? idk I loved it though !!
ooh baby this has been sitting in my inbox collecting dust for far too long.
thank you so much for sending me this message, I had so much fun writing that piece so I'm overjoyed that people seem to be having as much fun reading it as I did creating it. it's truly my baby.
I definitely want to write a part two, and I've gotten a good handful of comments asking for one, so it will absolutely be happening. I'm currently in the throes of finals season (I've written two rather sizable papers just this week and I'm far from finished), and right after that I'm promptly shifting into "moving out of my dorm" mode. So part two is coming, but she's going to have to stew for a little while longer. Believe me, I wish I could cite fanfic writing as an excuse for an extension, but I doubt my profs would be pleased with me.
Side note: I also got my first request! It's also been sitting in my inbox for a whiiiiile, but I will get around to writing it. I am looking into creating a more robust requesting system; character lists, rules, etc. (I was waiting to hit 100 followers to do it but after my next week of hell I might just set it up anyways). So y'all have that to also look forward to!
