abellan, you say? Gonna have to check that out! I’m a sucker for that ship!

You know what’s nuts? I didn’t even think of it until one of my friends was like “Hey some Abelas smut would be cool.” And I was like, “oh ok it’ll need a little story to go along with it so that it makes sense for Abelas to, you know, NOT hate the Inquisitor.” 

Almost 29,000 words later and I now have a tertiary DA:I ship that I never meant to have and I don’t even know anymore XD

Last Line Meme

Honestly, this is my fave tag meme. Thanks for the tag @alyssalenko!

From my post-Trespasser Abelas/Lavellan oneshot – a snippet of Athera’s unspoken thoughts:

Gods above, I’ve missed you. You’re stubborn and old and overly logical, and I’ve missed you so fucking much.

If you feel like some heartbreak, you can read about these angsty fools here on AO3. 

The rules of the meme say you need to tag as many people as words, but I am terrible at that, soooo… Tagging it forward to @buttsonthebeach, @galadrieljones, @ocean-in-my-rebel-soul, @thevikingwoman, @sun-and-shadow-aloy, @oops-gingermoment (I hope I don’t spoil myself for asking for a line from you! XD), and anyone else who wants to play! xo

More About Me

Thanks for the tag @galadrieljones​! xo

Name: Oh, we’re using our made-up names? I’m Pikapeppa. (HAHAH I will never not use this line from the Avengers when this question comes up)

Nickname: Pika!

Height: 5′3″

Nationality: Canadian

Favourite Fruit: peaches, followed by cherries and mangoes

Favourite Season: I used to say summer, but I can’t tolerate the lack of A/C in my apartment anymore. So let’s say that transitional time between spring and summer.

Favourite Smell: my bed. It smells sweet and sleepy and comforting. 

Favourite Colour: red!

Favourite Animal: tigers and housecats

Tea, Coffee, Hot Cocoa: tea, followed by hot choccy. I don’t like coffee. I once had an Incident™ drinking too much coffee in Iceland in the summer (i.e. when they have the midnight sun) and my caffeine-soaked mind was genuinely convinced that I would never sleep again.

Average hours of sleep: 5-6 maybe. But sleep is a waste of writing time T^T

Dogs or Cats: cats!

Dream Trip: Singapore/Japan/South Korea

When my blog was created: err, I didn’t start using it actively until summer 2017. 

# of followers: almost 600? WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE? ❤️

Random Fact: Today I got to observe a total laryngectomy and partial pharyngectomy in the OR! It was sick as hell, literally and metaphorically (huge tumour up in that poor larynx). 

Favourite Food: dim sum

Favourite TV Show: noooo I hate this question. I’ll name some other shows I love that are different from the last time I did this: Mr. Robot, Orange Is The New Black, and Broad City.

Favourite Movie: Her, directed by Spike Jonez. If you haven’t seen this film, it’s incredible – a beautiful and nuanced sci-fi romance. And the soundtrack by Arcade Fire is glorious.

Favorite Vine:  … wait are these still a thing LOL

Sexuality: Straight, with the odd handful of crushes on women 😊 

Gender: female

Favourite Book Series: Harry Potter would have to be #1. Also a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire (i.e. Game of Thrones), the Highlander series by Karen Marie Moning, the Red Rising saga by Pierce Brown, and His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Favourite Video Games: Horizon Zero Dawn is BAE. Currently obsessed with Dragon Age: Inquisition though, in case you couldn’t tell. Also really love the Mass Effect OT and Andromeda, Uncharted 4 (the last one with Nate – such a poignant and mature wrap-up to the series!!), and Portal will always have a special place in my heart since it’s the first modern console game my fiancé introduced me to (he got me into gaming). 

Favourite Subject: ugh, how about I say my favourite university class since high school was so long ago? It was a class called Writing Systems, and it was all about the linguistics and culture and history of the different writing systems of the world, from alphabets to abjads to abugidas and morphographic systems and everything in between. I loved that class so much. 

Favourite Fandoms: The HZD fandom is incredible. Some of the people I count as my best friends and also legitimately the finest human beings on the planet (@hellarcanine I’m looking at you!) have been through this fandom. The Facebook group for this fandom is so adorable and fun and friendly despite being like 16000+ members, and I find that it’s a hugely welcoming fandom for people who identify as LGBTQ, which is amazing. The DA:I fandom is also full of lovely and thoughtful people, particularly the Solavellan fandom as @galadrieljones said, and I love the deep lore discussions that the DA:I fandom gets into!

Favourite Superhero: can I say the Punisher count as portrayed in the Netflix Marvel series? I love how dark and angry he is with so much secret pain AND SECRET TENDERNESS. If he doesn’t count, then I’m gonna go with Marvel’s Loki (TT^TT).

Guys or Girls: Girls. Higher fat-to-muscle ratio means girls would be tastier to roast and eat. (Come on, there’s no context for this question, so I just ran with it. LOL?)

Celebrity Crush: Ricky Whittle (HOT), Tom Hiddleston (ADORABLE), Dwayne Johnson (he’s just SO FUCKING NICE OK??)

Last Time I Cried: On Sunday. Family drama relating to mental illness. 

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Tagging forward to @buttsonthebeach, @alyssalenko, @vgtravlr, @wardenofmyheart, @novamm66, @elfsplaining, @mrscullensrutherford, @oops-gingermoment, @mistressdreadwolf, @strawbaraminkshake, @emmavakarian-theirin and anyone else who would like to play! 

pikapeppa:

“The balance you need for a lucid dream is like standing on the precipice of climax,” Solas says. “The pleasure rises inside of you, but you must hold it back if you wish to truly enjoy it. It is a heightened state of torturous ecstasy.”

“So you want me to learn lucid dreaming by withholding orgasms?” she asks in a strained voice.

“Exactly,” he replies in satisfaction. “When you feel you are about to come, you will tell me to stop. Then we will repeat. You will not come until I decide you are ready.”

“And when will that be?” Elia retorts. Her voice is sharp, she knows, but her arousal is such that she’s feeling irate already.

“When you have learned this lesson, vhenan,” he whispers.

ilikedetectives:

Forever

Inspired by Shadow of the Stormbird (@pikapeppa, I​ already lost count on my re-reads).

Note: This is actually what I originally intended for my previous manip attempt to be. I decided to keep Nil’s headdress and Aloy’s focus here because these two are impatient (also because I can’t decide which hairstyle fits Nil). 

GAHHHHHH

@ilikedetectives has done it again!! This is the tasteful smut I NEEDED OK

❤️❤️❤️ thank you!!! It’s wonderful!!!
