“As author, I feel the crudeness of my style may be a little offensive to some, but hope my desire to afford general pleasure will excuse my defects.”
— The anonymous author of Lady Pokingham; or They All Do It: Giving an Account of her Luxurious Adventures, both before and after her Marriage with Lord Crim-Con, as published in the first issue of The Pearl in 1879.

I take drabble requests! Just drop characters, a pairing, a situation into my Ask box. I'm best with Dragon Age prompts, but can also do Last Exile and some Digital Devil Saga, plus a few other bits and bobs.

Things sometimes get smutty. I try to remember nsfw tags, but I don't always manage it, especially on drabble request posts.

Photo reblogged from madsabroo.author. with 92 notes

madsabroo: Yes, because whenever you visit the Chantry you can’t go five feet without stepping on an orphan - oh wait, that’s right, there’s like five people in the Chantry max at any one time.  They either packed away the orphans in the basement or you’re grasping for reasons to justify a corrupt institution.  Whatever helps you sleep, I guess. Or there’s story/gameplay segregation. There are parts of the chantry Hawke can’t go into, and it is stated in game that the chantry helps orphans, including Fereldan ones, when nobody else will, to at least some extent. ETA: What I mean is, you don’t need to erase the good the Chantry did to argue it was corrupt.

    I’ve had similar thoughts before. To assume that no innocents were caught up in the explosion would be naive at best.
