#the warden speaks
Text
the sun was a spilled glass of water
in the valley, late that day. the longest of all; the high sun, the creaking of a wooden door as it swung open. it only opened once in a year.
the air smelled of pine-knives and sweet, toothy heather, and it was so warm the amber had scarcely the time to cool itself, instead running lazily down barken bodies and stickying the ground. cicadas sung their same song, loud and throaty. beneath all of it was the quiet, faraway speech of that old river, rambling on about the past.
the cabin at the bend of the cliff nearly leaned itself down into the rapids, so aged it had become. still, the wooden boards bore their marks and their scars with pride, and inside, a broom was set to a leaning standstill with a sigh.
a man with gingerish hair and a pair of oaken antlers hesitated briefly on his way out, glancing over his shoulder despite himself. back at the inside of the shop-- the counter, barren of its usual tools and half-finished projects; the fireplace, lit so often beneath a mantel which had born the weight of so many gifts. a table where countless of sariel's meals had been enjoyed. the window overlooking the water.
and the man thought to himself that a charmed life was any life where enough time was taken to count each good thing in front of you, and immortalize it, in whatever shape you can muster. amber is a funny thing, like that.
the door swung shut, and somewhere beyond hill and stone, the long grass of midsummer whispered home, home, home.

I am unsure of who remains of my old mutuals and followers from this account, but hey, it's the author. I've decided I'm going to slowly put this character to rest and refocus this blog onto the things I've grown fonder of in the last few years-- my nearly-finished degree in creative writing, my personal projects in philosophy and poetry, and my personal journey with spirituality, christianity, and myth. Everyone who helped me make the Warden who he was, thank you. Everyone who ever purchased something from the shop-- it was me you helped, I hope you know. For old time's sake, if you ever ask for an amber trinket, you'll get one. The woods remember.
tagging @inneskeeper and @cryptotheism to thank them in particular for inspiring this blog and its character. May the road rise up to your feet.
Slán go deo, a chairde.

I am Emmet. Luxa has been acting verrrry weird recently. I think she wants to say hi.
[a photo of a Chandelure. It appears to be vaguely smiling]
@i-am-emmet-real
Hmm. I am unaware of that Pokémon, it’s not in this region. Though the flames look familiar

idc what the time is; i have been thinking about my old Sneasler Ingo nonstop for the past few weeks and HAD to revisit his design rn or id esplode 💥💥💥
the snilerrrrrs.....................
#pokemon#warden ingo#sneaseler#subway boss ingo#sneasler ingo au#lady sneasler#when i first drew him i wanted to make him fluffier but thought he would be too inhuman but what the hell ever man#its my au i get to make up the rules on how pokified the wardens get.#fluffify that guy rn!!!!!!!!1#he still speaks sneasler and has his own kits because i like those qualities....#having a gaggling of kits follow him around the highlands calling him dad is just free serotonin :]#it is now 8am as i am posting this. for context. haunted and vexed by visions of sningos

i need something to soothe an old pain, and i doubt an amber trinket will do anything for it, but here goes. i feel sick inside, unsafe, hurt, blah blah blah. everything feels so unsteady. here, something for trade that's not a sob story: a four foot tall tower made of dribbled plaster, which hardened from foam to stone as it was piled on. it's incredibly tender for something so hard and rough. it's warm to the touch.
found your way in, mm?
you are capable of finding
do not forget to search; do not forget to rescue
your tower- the mantel. your unrest- dinner.
your hands- an amber hammer and an iron nail
every breath you take is revolution, little one

i think its healthy to follow/be mutuals with a fan of a team you normally wouldn't care about. it adds variety to the dash. one team's lb is melting down because of some bullshit going on, meanwhile one of my mutuals is like "hey that was a good save :)" and now you have to take a step back from the melt down to go see the nice save

do you guys ever think about fiona dragon age. at this point she has outlived most of her former comrades with whom she had gone through joining. there's a good chance she'll outlive her son no matter king or not because no crown can stop the taint in his blood. do you think about her being the only one who got lucky among her squad and the order as a whole. do you think about her getting free both as a warden and then a mage but still never escaping that one curse of watching people she cared about slowly fade away
#hey guys. do you think about duncan's axe names fiona you guys#do you think about her asking about alistair but never approaching him even if he's a warden and hangs out next door#do you think about her leaving skyhold if he dies in the fade. do you ever#btw all this thought process was provoked by replaying dao and speaking with riordan once#im very normal about grey wardens once again#dragon age#fiona

How does Irida handle one of her wardens starting a religious cult and apparently being able to talk to almighty Sinnoh? What do the Pearl and Diamond clans think of Ingo's cult? And does the Galaxy Team have any thoughts on it?
I think 90% of the population would be really concerned about Ingo literally spouting blasphemy to everyone who'll listen. Irida, on the other hand, I imagine to have been good friends with Ingo before he starts spiraling, and would be one of the only people in this situation who's just concerned for his mental health.
While Adaman and Kamado are discussing potentially declaring war on Ingo and his pack, Irida's just genuinely sad and worried for him and trying to get him to see sense before he gets hurt; meanwhile Ingo's not even aware that he's started spreading his 'religion' to the villages
#mailbox#hoof draws#cults cw#<-i guess this can just. be the tag for this idea?#b yeah. for the first few months ingo's just the crazy warden who rants about seeing visions in the sky#then slowly people start taking him seriously as he seems to know things he shouldn't and start coming to him for advice#like well he IS insanely strong and it seems like he can speak to zoroarks?? maybe he is actually blessed by sinnoh#meanwhile. irida doesn't know what explains that but KNOWS ingo's suffering from intense delusions and needs help#<so she's stuck trying to help her friend while balancing the political issue of 'this guy's a threat and we need to get rid of him'

nothing that hasn't been said before, but I need bioware devs to make solas the secret companion of dreadwolf a la loghain mac tir in origins. to accept him as a companion you have to lose out on the approval and/or presence of another companion, who leaves your party (parallel to loghain-alistair and anders-sebastian). then the player base can take out their feelings on him. they can break the egg or put him to work fixing his mess. parallel to hawke/stroud/etc in inquisition, you can choose to have him sacrifice himself as well. would also like an option to mail him off to lavellan and let him face her wrath/rehabilitation. cathartic as hell
#solas#fen'harel#dragon age dreadwolf#oh and also give players the option to import any lavellan to their world state and let her become an evanuris and be evil haha#all shall love me and despair lavellan#i want an entire dlc of just the inquisitor in general being unhinged#also would loooove a b plot of the warden casually finding a calling cure and it wrapping up into a nice clusterfucky bow#literally I don't think i'm contributing any original thoughts here but still I wanted to say it#speaking of dalish how likely is merrill to become radicalized?#faeryfrogs content
