Dragon Age: Inquisition tarot styled piece featuring Gray Warden Duncan from Dragon Age: Origins. With his forehead pressed into his hand and a regretful expression, he is holding a cup that resembles a joining chalice but he is not looking at it. The chalice is tilted down in his grasp, the contents spilling out like a waterfall. Two more chalices are overturned in the background that seems to be melting away. Another two more crowd behind him, upright, and seem like they have gushing water out of them. A part of the landscape behind him is slowly being eaten away by the blight. The illustration mimics Five of Cups tarot card.

Image containing three separate Dragon Age: Inquistion tarot styled pieces. They are: 

1) A piece of Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard lying in a field of blue flowers, seemingly asleep, with a sword stuck in his torso.

2) A piece of Tarquin from Dragon Age: The Veilguard holding up a sword and a hand over his chest as if in a knightly oath.

3) A piece of Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard standing back to back, hands interwoven and dripping blood.

2) A piece of player character and Lucanis Dellamorte from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. They are leaning against one another, with their eyes closed, and seeming at peace. Rook is seemingly spilling a joining chalice, and it's dark ichor is slowly pooling beneath them. They are surrounded with a watery looking environment.

3) A piece of The Viper (Ashur) from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is driving his staff into the ground and seemingly cleaving in half the Venatori staves rising up from the ground, while batting away another one with his hand. His expression is resolute but he is not even looking at his enemy. The illustration mimics Seven of Wands tarot card.

The chemistry between Cybil and Rose in the first Silent Hill movie burns hotter than any underground fire ever could (also maybe it’s cruel to talk about things burning…sorry Cyb) thanks to @gruselzirkus.bsky.social for dragging me back to 2006 for vintage queer subtext

A collage of a baltimore oriole bird looking to the side with a yellow star as its eye. The background is a mix of green, blue, and purple magazine scraps and shapes of stars are circles. The words “Doing it scared is just as brave” are written in magenta marker over the oriole in the center of the image. The name “mossyvida” is in small white text in the bottom right corner.

"is this a pigeon?" meme, except it's a writer looking at a perfectly normal first draft and asking "Is this the worst thing ever written?"

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.
