Thinking about names and their meanings, of Anderfels and of all the Anders from there but my favourite two in particular, I lost track of what I should do and started writing something almost happy, something sweet. For once when being in a Karl mood, I am able to cling to the sweet part of the bittersweet.
And for once my main distraction is fireworks. They are starting to really get going now...

Thoughts about the Anderfels
I do think about the Anderfels a lot, since from the few things we are told, it brings home to mind. Desolate, with empty steppes. And it reminds me of the harsher parts of my country, the emptiness and the longing. Old trees in forests older than most things, and rocky ground covered with such a thin layer of earth that the grass almost never has the strength to turn green. Wilderness, vast empty...

New years with new hopes
The new year is drawing ever closer, and I do feel a bit anxious, but not as panicky as I usually get. This time I do feel more hope than anxiety (which is a huge improvement, even though I have not been able to completely leave the anxiety behind), which is a really big thing for me. So although part of me wishes to hide under a blanket and inside a big sweater, another part is feeling something...

You are so right. I mean, everyone loves Varric. (I haven’t seen any hatin on him, but there’s sure to be some out there.) But Merrill gets it- from fans/players and from the other teammates. I’d love to find some fan essays/discussions on her!
I have actually never seen any Varric hate, but the internet is a...

There is frost outside, and hopefully it will get even colder soon. And when the snow comes I will be able to breathe easier, and the world will be so much more beautiful. I will make snow angels, and I will be happy.
This was the last night of the year, and now the last morning is drawing closer. I do not think that I will be able to watch the last sunrise, because I am finally, finally starting...

ryncol replied to your post: Headcanons, hmm? How about for Merrill and Varric? :>
Eeeee, I adore all of these. :] I totally love their relationship as well. They are two of my favorite DAII characters and I’m so glad you agree.
I think their relationship is one of the best ones! And I adore them both so much (especially Merrill, she’s just so sweet and kind), they are such great...

Thank you, everyone
Everyone who sent me such wonderful asks, comments and secret well-wishes and good thoughts and reached out to me when I was very much not alright, when things became too much - thank you, so very very much. It really does mean so much more to me than I am able to put into words right now, but, it really does mean so much to me and, I just - thank you all for being so very wonderful to me.

Head Canon Meme Thing
rhiannon42:
Edit: Uh… tumblr apparently deleted all the words here. Ooookay.
Anyway! Since I’m going to be in front of my computer all day and I want to blather at people about things only I care about:
Send me the name of a character and I’ll tell you something from my head canon about them.
My fandoms are Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Castle, and Firefly.
I do so enjoy talking about...

This is that sort of lonely night or almost morning, again. I do not really know how to talk to people, how to start things, conversations, anything. Sometimes it is as if I just freeze up and forget how all that works, sometimes for no reason at all, and other times because I am afraid. Fears like I could try, but I would probably be unwanted. I could try, but who would ever want to talk with me?...

Can I hug you now? Because, OF WOLVES. Thank you.
You two did such a fantastic job with that one, it deserves so incredibly much love. Seriously, it is so wonderful, I cannot praise you enough!

Sometimes people reply to my posts and I don’t know how to respond so I don’t respond but then I feel like by not responding I made them feel like I’m ignoring them when I’m not and then I just weep into my keyboard.

I am not actually completely sure of what day it is, exactly, but it is the last day of this day for this year. And that fills me with dread as well as panic. What have I done with this year? Have I done enough with this year? Did I do all that I could do, did I do well enough, did I spend my time wisely, did I better myself, did I make enough progress, or did I waste this year?
I have done a...

defira85 replied to your post: True name for Anders?
I know Katiebour has a really good one, a Polish name that I can’t remember how to spell, and the English equivalent is Stefan. She has theories behind it too, I shall ask her.
Aah, I remember that one, it was very good! And I cannot spell it either - which is kind of why I want a Scandinavian one, since then I will be able to spell it from...

rhiannon87: True name for Anders? →
rhiannon42:
My headcanon real name for him is Frederick Gervasius. (Any wonder he took on the nickname?) The first name came from the banter he has with Nathaniel in Awakening; someone mentioned that they thought it was Anders’s first name, and much as I tried to resist, the idea stuck. The last name I found more or less at random; sometimes I’ll go for names imbued with meaning, but...

Is it just me?
Experiencing that awkward moment when you realise that you cannot post your tumblr crushes, because there is one person that has 20% of your hearts? Which really makes you look a bit obsessed and slightly… stalkerish? It is.. really, really awkward. And a bit, oh my goodness what will she think of me, surely she will think that I am incredibly creepy when she gets on tumblr to see how many...

True name for Anders?
I would really really appreciate any input on this! Especially from people who write Anders a lot, and/or have a good sense of him.
I do think that it is very likely that Karl would know Anders real name (and also that he might have an embroidered Anderfels blanket, the way that Anders has a pillow but, this is not about that, not now), so I am trying to decide on what that name should be, in my...

I have to second that.
Aah, thank you! Really, so very much! Now I am even more cheered up, and honestly, I needed that. So thank you, again!

Whimsy and Biscuits: Justice →
defira85:
Would ‘pleasepleaseplease oh god please rant and write about Justice PLEASE’ from me be enough to sway you? Because I cannot not approve of people being in love with Justice.
Write ‘Justice is awesome’ on a napkin and scan it in to Tumblr and I will reblog. Absolutely anything about Justice is like catnip to me.
<3
Actually, yes! I am now sufficiently encouraged to rant about...

WOOBIE SPIRIT
Justice is amazing. I want to give him all the hugs, and honestly what happened to him in DA2 makes me so much more sad than what happened to Anders. I want to read so much fan fic of before he merged with Anders and was being a total sweet yet fantastic BAMF.
He’s always my warrior of choice in Awakening.
YES YES YES
Yes he is, so very much so! I just want...

iapetusneume replied to your post: Justice
omg Justice. To me he was my favorite surprise of Awakening. I had no idea that he’d be there and when I first heard about him kinda-sorta in a spoiler I was like: ‘…not sure if want…’ but then BAM omg Justice. So much love.
Yes! I just adore him so. And I get a bit sad when people kind of seem to forget that this whole possessing Anders thing hurt...

Justice
I have so so many feelings about Justice, as well. Justice as he is when we first meet him, Justice as he becomes during Awakenings, and Justice as he ended up with Anders. I am just looking for an excuse to rant about him instead of writing the things I should. I must find an excuse, another reason than just I want.
Perhaps one of the many reasons I latch onto Anders so, is that he is so...

If only I lived in a musical
Now I am done moping around, I think. I try to not do it for too long, because if I do I get stuck in it, but just pushing it in all the time would not be healthy either. So. On to better things. I will find some, I will write some, I will cheer myself up. If my voice actually worked (why sore throat, why?), I would sing that song that goes I get knocked down, but I get up again! because.

I am sorry
This is one of those days that started rather well, and then went very much downhill. I am still terribly sick, but I spent time being curled up in the spare bed watching Ice Age (and cried, because I am the sort of person that cries when watching children’s movies) which was good, because that movie is awesome, and everyone got along which is the best. Then when I was writing, my Mom showed...

There is joy
What I need to do is channel all these good feelings into finishing Anders/Karl, because I really need to have something happy, write something happy, after the angst of Deserter. And I really should finish Feed The Beast Within first, but I really want to start with what I need this time.
