Today's #tidbitoftheday is an excerpt from a much, much longer poetic journey I went on one evening. Most of my energy has gone toward TDWC, but this piece is near and dear to my heart. Poetry is a processing mechanism for me, and I find reveals far more truth that I am often ready to admit. Enjoy

Today's #tidbitoftheday involves one of my favorite things to do: riffing. I love party banter, as do most of us, but it always feels too brief. While I understand the limitations of produced media, I have no such boundaries. Enjoy. #dragonageinquisition #earlydays #solastrippingovertruths

I would REALLY like to stop quoting Solas when explaining how power and leadership work. I would like to stop having a reason to, but I guess thank you, Trick Weekes, for summing it up so beautifully. (I am familiar with the philosophies outside of the context of Dragon Age. It's just succinct.)

Sadly, another non-graphic, #tidbitoftheday. I'm having a busy week. But please, enjoy some fighting from the next chapter of "The Destiny We Choose." It's quite a mixed journey. #Lavellan #Solas #cassandrapentaghast #varric #hesfineguys #thedamnhinterlands #warriorinstincts #solavellan

Cassandra: She would have been alright with Leliana as well, but she watched Cassandra face her doubts and questions of her faith head on the entire time they were fighting Corypheus. She turned a critical eye in her own religion, her own order, recognizing both the corruption that existed-

Today's tidbit is an atmospheric. I'm on my way to work and I haven't the time to put together a graphic. However, for this one, I hope needn’t a picture. If I've done my job right, the words should be enough. #DragonAgeInquisition #hearthfire #earlydays #lavellan #varric #cassandrapentaghast

Transgender man Sam Nordquist was horrifically murdered in New York. We stand in solidarity with Sam’s loved ones as they demand justice. Sam and all victims of violence deserve accurate coverage of their lives. Why did @nytimes.com change their headline about Sam? (1/2)

In light of Breaking Bad guy wanting a return to genuinely admirable protagonists, what is your favorite example of one? I’d argue Picard from TNG is a really strong example in that he isn’t infallible but is unrelentingly concerned with the moral costs of decisions and the power placed in his hands

Today's #tidbitoftheday comes from my current chapter (surprise, surprise) as I close in my final section of dialogue. Something I've done in this story is restructure "busy" quests. So here is the first instance of that: #dragonageinquisition #Lavellan #ScoutHarding #RedcliffeisHome

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

So my last few #tidbitoftheday 's have been more on the serious side. But every once in a while I've got to show you that I have to give you just a bit of a break from the seriousness. No fancy format today, just plain old words. Trying to finish this chapter. #DragonAgeInquisition #varric

This tidbit comes from my RoP fanfic, "The Mirror." I was never going to write a Haladriel fic, but this one was one of those wonderful, unexpected stories that volunteered itself one afternoon as an intrusive thought and wouldn't go away. Link in comment #Tidbitoftheday #haladriel #ringsofpower

Halani started out absolutely sure Varric was insane. Their first encounter was as caustic as possible, but when she needed information, she backed down, and so did he. In spite of herself, she could understand Varric's defense. Especially after meeting Lavellan. However, then [redacted] happened

Oh. Similar the what the Nightmare would say to her: She is a fool for thinking that anyone in Thedas actually wants her help. They might want someone to come and save them, but the fact that it's her is an insult. She believes she has a right to lead, but the reminder it isn't shared is painful.

Halani adored Varric. Looked to him like an uncle and mentor. She was a Shadow, but found many of them far too dour to really connect with. Varric was kind, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to his friends, which she respected deeply. He also encouraged her improvisational approach.
