Okay But Romantic Poets Coffeeshop Au:

For all my writers struggling with weaponry of the sword variety. 

Romantic poets’ dnd classes

William Wordsworth - Druid. Absolutely obsessed with nature. Will spend hours staring at a single tree believes in nothing except the power of nature. 

Dorothy Wordsworth - fighter. She gets shit done herself. Respects nature and all but a little more grounded than her brother. 

Coleridge - warlock. Oh boy. His whole thing is the power of the imagination, being wishy washy with religion, opium addict, really erratic but also incredibly likeable. He would totally make a pact. 

Keats - grave Cleric. A literal doctor. But a doctor who had to deal with watching his family die from disease. Has a very complicated relationship with death, pretty emo but also a puppy dog. Keats is bae. 

Lord Byron - bard. Need I say more? 

Percy Shelley - rogue. Politically radical and just a social mess. 

Mary Shelley - wizard. Too good for Percy and just a genius. Fascinated by magic and wants to test her limits all the time and DELIVERS. 

Bonus novelist:

Jane Austen - Tough choice but I think she suits bard best. Witty and observant, knows what to say when, detail oriented, never forgets.

Ardeth Bay is the only man I will ever love and frankly I'm alright with that

Bran is the kid who doesn’t do shit in a group project and still gets an A

Inquisitor Carver is such a fun concept because 

“I’m pretty sure this was meant for my sibling, but I got it by accident” meta-commentary

Varric and Carver being part of the same found family and relying on each other

Carver, lying, “I don’t know where my sibling is, Cassandra.”

Cassandra, about to commit a double homicide, “YOU BOTH KNEW”

Carver would not have time for anyone’s bullshit and would call out people to their face on what he thinks are shit opinions. 

Josephine’s poor stress levels

Cullen and Carver just “And he looks at me” “And I look at him” “And he looks at me” “And I look at hiiiim”

The fact that it’s Corypheous??? Like this fucker is the reason Carver almost got assassinated by carta dwarves and now he’s back??? 

Having to make the choice in the Fade and would Hawke rob Carver of his agency of who gets left behind and chooses to sacrifice themselves

Cole breathes and Carver is suddenly a big brother

Coleridge x Wordsworth

WHY DO PEOPLE NOT SHIP WORDSWORTH AND COLERIDGE.

- met and instantly connected

- fucking followed each other across the country for years. First coleridge moved to be with Wordsworth, then Wordsworth to coleridge. One of them got kicked out of town (because drama) and the other followed and like, come on. Just cuz your bff has to move like an hour away you don’t pack up your life and follow them. 

- Dorothy wrote about how they met literally everyday and talked about poetry and philosophy and COMPLETED EACH OTHER’S WORKS because they were that in sync

- they made a book of poetry together. personal and professionally compatible. Lyrical ballads, the iconic collab.

- the authorities actually got involved because neighbours were super suspicious they were political radicals plotting something and, no, not at the moment, but you know valid concern with these guys. If rainbow rowell has taught me anything it’s that “plotting” really means “gay” and given the time calling the authorities on the super domestic and romantic guys next door really isn’t that far off

- and like “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison”?? I know Coleridge directly refers to Charles Lamb but like. If you were pining and trying not to broadcast your sexuality to the world including your wife wouldn’t you be a little subversive? He’s just whining lovingly about not being able to go for a walk together and how Nature will bring them together in spirit and if that’s not the sweetest, tragically gay thing ever. 

- their relationship really fell apart once Wordsworth finally got married and he got fed up with Coleridge’s opium addiction and constant womanizing

- they lived the rest of their lives very publicly hating their wives and not really speaking

- I just gotta add Wordsworth and Dorothy? THE BEST SIBLINGS EVER. 

(this has been the most distracting thing ever while trying to study them for my romantic lit final pls tell me I’m not the only one)

with the whole “keats wanted to fight everyone” stuff going around i feel like we tend to neglect the fact that sometimes his fighting had good and just causes such as this

imagine being a butcher’s boy just trying to live your worst and meanest life as the neighbourhood bully in 19th century london & this 5 ft wisp of a poet is like ok that’s it you better square up

So because I’m dragon age and sanders sides trash I thought it would be fun to do a crossover! And since all the sides are Thomas I got to mess around and give them different face shapes and stuff based on the characters from dragon age :)

Cool Tip

If you are like me and always need to be working on something to keep your anxiety under control, during this quarentine why not helping scientists by looking at pictures of some neat penguins? or even galaxies?  There’s this site call Zooniverse, where you can help on scientific projects by analyzing pictures and data!  Right now my favorite project has returned, called Penguin Watch (where yeah, you get to watch penguins, it’s amazing)

you basically have to analyse photos looking for penguins, their chicks, eggs or even predators and human interaction But there are lots of interesting projects you can help in areas such as biology, physics, history or even art: 

Oh and the best part, some institutions even accept it as volunteering/service hour requirements for graduation and scholarships!! It’s helping me a lot during this time, so I thought it was worth sharing
