I just snarfed so hard OHMYGOD
I feel like emmrich can’t swim.
Thinking about my lord of fortune rook spending almost all her time on ships and taking for granted that everyone can swim. Then one day, Emmrich is pushed overboard and she is horrified when she doesn’t see him come back up above the water.
if you'd rather read on ao3, look no further!
metastable: "(of a state of equilibrium) stable provided it is subjected to no more than small disturbances." Or, " theoretically unstable but so long-lived as to be stable for practical purposes." He's fine and cordial and perfectly polite. Of course, that's until he meets Rook.
"It has to be Bellara who snitched. With her penchant for knee jerks and quick answers. Thoughts from the heart. Secrets run through her and the truth gets strained and filtered, however lovely her smile may seem. She’s also the only one who knows about the two of them, and knows Mr. and Mrs. Mommy and Daddy." Or: Rook's parents now know she's seeing someone and demand she bring him to dinner.
She's an angel, he's a dog. Or, the confessions of a white tenured male. Contains: smut, brief mentions of corpses.
He's a hopeless romantic and she's just hopeless. Or, the sugar daddy au you've been waiting for.
So insane to me that his merchant in Treviso has not one but TWO griffon skulls at their market stall. Did they raid the Cauldron or what?
OH so when the Dread Wolf uses the lives of spirits to advance HIS cause, everyone forgives HIM, but when *I*, Johanna Hezenkoss—
Reblog to share awareness, because I certainly did not know THAT
Are you seriously telling me that I rawdogged 200 hours of Veilguard without upgrading my Rook's spells at the Caretaker
Happy december 10th!

Following the release of Bioware's official player choice stats, I'm curious to see how the Tumblr fandom measures up. This Google Form contains all the questions from the official stat graphics, as well as a few that were not included that I'm personally curious about.
This form contains major endgame spoilers. Do not click the link until you've finished the game.
Please only fill it out once per Rook, but if you have multiple Rooks feel free to fill it out for each of them! Live stats will be available for you to view once you've submitted the form. This form does not collect your email address. I will release a breakdown of the final results on my blog at a later date!
Thank you in advance for your participation, please reblog for reach!
GETTEM, MANFRED
Emmrich being dead last in the "Who did you romance" rankings is actually because you don't romance Emmrich, he romances you. Hope this helps.
*Emmrich and Mourn Watch Rook yapping away about death and necromancy*
Bellara, holding a pen and paper: You two should kiss...
Rook: What do you call a fish with no eye?
Emmrich: Myxine Circifrons.
Rook:
Rook: fsh
I'm so mentally stable you can park a horse in my brain
I understand the controls better on my second run, it's not quite as bad.
"Why are there so many dragons to fight?!" I mumble, exasperated, as I play the latest installment in a franchise entitled DRAGON AGE.
I have a fic idea noodling around in my head: Rook and Emmrich come back from the "Arrangements" quest having sucked face. They sneak from the Eluvian to Rook's sleeping quarters (where not much sleeping happens): afterward, they take a quiet jaunt to the balcony in Emmrich's quarters. They awake in the morning to find no one in the Lighthouse. Why? The rest of the Veilguard is outside in the courtyard trying to figure out how and why the giant kissing skeletons replaced the Fen'Harel statue.
i got possessed by an idea
I'm housesitting for a friend this weekend and I desperately miss my blorbos. I just want to help my friends with their personal quests and stop the Evanuris (again)!
I desperately want more information about this!
it used to be 2007 you know
Thinking about how Ingellvar!Rook being in a relationship with Emmrich looks to the rest of the Mourn Watch.
One of the most high ranking and respected Mourn Watchers goes on sabbatical to apparently help save the world?? And he comes back with motherfucking Ingellvar??? Y'know, that crypt orphan Watcher who took one for the team so hard that they had to be sent out of the fucking country to keep the nobles from getting nasty???? And apparently they're back at it again with the taking one for the team schtick, because they're the one spearheading the saving the world thing????? And people call them Rook now??????
But amidst all that, the real kicker is that Volkarin and Ingellvar are obviously fucking. And possibly 10 seconds away from getting married. The amount of Not Giving A Shit What The Nobility Think coming off of Volkarin for this is staggering. The brass balls on that man. And what a comeback for Ingellvar. Left in big trouble, returned on the arm of The Hot Professor. No one is doing it like them.
I like to think that Myrna is proud of them both in different ways, Emmrich for letting himself make such a connection and Rook for choosing an excellent partner. Vorgoth is offering their wishes of ABUNDANT EXULTATION or some shit.
Meanwhile, the rest of the order is either losing their shit in various ways or just straight up confused. Either way, these two have got to be the talk of the Necropolis.
*bangs on door* WHERE IS MY HOT CHOCOLATEY MILK SPIDER? I DEMAND TO SEE MY BABY AT LEAST ONCE THIS SEASON PLEASE YOU CANT LEAVE ME LIKE THIS
Time is out here doing the lord's work. I love him with a beard!
Folks modding his stache off just made me want to give him more facial hair. 😤
I love Nevarra. They have a whole mini-city just to store their dead, where the aesthetic is to cover everything in skeleton motifs and then say ‘hm, not enough bones.’ Need to make a magic bridge? It’s bones, for absolutely no reason other than the vibes. They’ve got mummification down to an art form. Their best known king reportedly lived to be 127, sparred with his grandson on the day of his death, kicked his grandson’s ass, then went to take a nap and died. And you know they mummified him and gave him the fanciest room in the whole Necropolis, as you do.
They historically go ham about dragons, to the point they have winter balls to celebrate dragon hunts and would display dragon parts at the party (they used to use real dragon bits, but rotting dragon smells awful, so now they do replicas of dragon heads and hearts and stuff.) They have fast paced regional dances inspired by how fucking cool dragons are.
They’ve got the biggest and most important mage school that runs the whole dang Circle of Magi (suck it, Orlais.) They have a whole annual event where people just get together to argue philosophy and drink tea. They’re big on historical reenactments. They like ice skating. They’re a bunch of foodies who thinks aesthetics are as important as taste. They invented flatbread (possibly their most important historical contribution.) They love beetles and consider them good luck, and sometimes keep them as pets.
I just think it’s neat!!
My IRL husband has done this and yes, it's absolutely as hot as you think it's going to be.
Emmrich muttering filthy poetry into Rook’s ear while he’s balls deep in them, send tweet
It's 100% his sarcophagus, Emmrich would never do it anywhere else. He has had his own prepared and ready to go for a few years now, just in case, but now he's going to have to purchase an expansion and room for adjoining flower beds.
Imagine being one of Emmrich’s students.
You go back to Treviso to make sure your family is ok and you see your esteemed, mid-50s professor ziplining across the city rooftops like a complete maniac.
He’s jingling like a walking bazaar while he’s ziplining because apparently half of Thedas’s gold is hanging off him, and he’s casually hanging out with one of the deadliest Antivan Crows and some decades-younger absolute snack who is constantly batting their eyelashes at him.
How do you even attend his lecture after that
God forbid women have HOBBIES
Does Critical Role count as TV? I watch it. CR and DA: Veilguard? Matt's in both, that's already a crossover.
I'm going to have to have him work on this ward next time; when I finished the game the first time, this was Neve's job.
Between Manfred in the background absolutely clobbering a Venatori and Emmrich pulling off the hottest mage move in the whole game, this clip has it all
