OMFG WHy WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MY EMOTIONS.

 

Despite this warning, I actually clicked on it... stupid me.

 

BUT, not as bad as the all-LI death scene fic I read recently. OMFG that was the worst (this was a paragraph of each LI reacting to the Inquisitor's death.) I actually jumped down to the Dorian and Cullen versions... I have issues, I swear.

I am not a masochist, so I don't read those sorts of things XD I have a hard enough time killing my own characters and making myself feel bad.

I accidentally read one where Dorian went back to Tevinter temporarily and his parents did the blood magic ritual and Dorian ended up losing all his memories among other things. I got pretty distressed about it because I was not emotionally prepared for that. I was just looking for Dorian/Trevelyan sexy time, dammit.

I DID THE SAME THING! My feels are bleeding. It was so cute and then it was so awful.

 

Are you people masochists?! Why do you read death scene and blood ritual fics?? I get sad when I see those tags and the summaries and run away looking for fluff to make me feel better. I need fluff after that comic.

I've seen this before and it is seriously amazing.

 

The art flow of seeing both of them age, how the constant message just keeps popping up "Just a little longer" and then THAT ENDING! GAH! It's seriously beautiful and I love it in the most depressing way. It's like Charlotte's web, except Dorian.

I enjoy angst but not to the point of where I want to drown myself in it, lol. When I write I always have the appropriate amount of angst, fluff, and tension...you may take tension whatever way you want...

If I can make myself finish it, I started a Dorian/Lavellan fluff fic. Apparently my elf doesn't like alcohol lol.

I like tension angst is okay but I don't care much for death-y stuff or straight up suffering. I'm too soft I think. I want happy junk.

Yeah, I'm not the type is going to go read a story about a character suffering to the point of where they committed suicide...I already made that mistake once. When I have the IQ die, I typically write that story as a oneshot so people who want to see how certain LIs would react to the IQ's death. For example, I have one planned for Cullen and it is certainly not going to be for the immature.

Most kinds of angst make for good fic as long as they don't go overboard, but deaths and flat out sad fics are just awful. I'm not so great at writing fluffy stuff, but I started a few angsty drabbles, though I'm not sure I'll finish them either.

I find it easier to write/draw angsty things myself but when it comes to reading and seeing them I can't do it xD if I see a fic tagged with angst/character death I just go thank you and good bye.

 

Funny though, I don't usually complain about sad endings in movies, gaming, etc. if it's done well. I don't know, not every story can end well and sometimes it just really fits - plus I like an ending that leaves an impression and stays with you.

 

And yes I read the comic linked earlier and it hurt me bad. It's fantastic, but it breaks a man //cries

Damn... Although, my time in the Seishirou/Subaru [Tokyo Babylon & X manga] fandom has inured me to a lot of that kind of stuff.

 

It's funny you should mention that, because I had been thinking that my Inquisitor would probably suggest that he go visit his parents if he went back to Tevinter. I know there are some Dorian fans that completely and utterly despise Halward -- I'm not a fan either -- but I don't think he would actually go through with it, especially after he basically already lost his son once.

I sort of stumbled on the death scene one on tumblr. I scrolled down to the Dorian one first, and since they were only a paragraph long it was kinda difficult to stop reading once I'd started.

 

Here is the dread fic, for anyone interested.

 

The only thing I find odd about that particular fic is that the author uses the gender neutral, even for LIs that have a single gender preference.

I agree, I do like writing some angst. It's good for character development and exploring issues. I have an angsty character who (I think) has pretty good reasons for being that way, but he's going to improve over the course of the book. It helps that he's got a friend/lover who likes to poke at him about his issues and try to get him to work through it. It's going to be fun progressing through the tension between them before they finally get over it and get together. There's no "suffering" there though, no major depression or suicidal thoughts. I've been there too often to enjoy reading it in fiction.

 

But then at the end of that book, some horrible things are going to happen, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. I don't want to read it, but apparently I am going to write it. Woe to the author who hurts my favorite character, but one of mine is going to get disfigured. I think for me, when I write it, I know how it's going to end. That "everything is going to be okay" (not perfect, not sunshine and rainbows, but the boy is going to get the girl boy and help him through his tragedy while becoming a stronger person after dealing with his own). When someone else is writing, I don't know if they're going to kill the character I feel the greatest bond with, the one I find most interesting, the one who may not be the hero but is just as important to the story. That not knowing bothers me. I am that person that skips to the last chapter at the first hint that my favorite character is in dire straights so I can know and prepare myself for what happens.

 

When my favorite character dies... I never read that book again. I've read some books half a dozen times because I love the characters so much. I've stuck it out for a decade or more to finish a series (here's looking at you, Dark Tower) only to be... let down about certain events. And while in the Dark Tower series, there is an argument to be made that things can be "okay in the end" because of what happens in the last few pages, it's not spelled at, it's only a hint. There's enough real life tragedy around me, I want my stories to have hope, and not the bittersweet kind.

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but here is Dorian's laughter placed in an auto-remixer.

Okay I have to share this with literally the only people who will understand.

 

I spit out my coffee in the car yesterday laughing when I heard this song, because it got to the chorus and all I could think was DORIAN.

There are a number of songs that I hear that I am like...so Dorian.

 

This one, which is slightly more serious, I hear as his anthem

Omg... that is perfect. I'm familiar with the plot from the movie The Birdcage (which I've seen numerous times,) but have never seen the play/musical. I love how there is this undertone of "F you if you don't like it," which is why I think it is perfect for Dorian.

Thanks for sharing that.

^ Damn that romance card is so sexy, I never get tired of looking at it. It's amazing I'm actually able to go anywhere past the party selection screen.

 

I think the best part about it is the intense expression on his face.

[Fredward]

That damn comic has been surfacing randomly into my consciousness throughout the day. That probably means its very good but seriously:

 

 

I think part of why it stings to much is cuz Dorian was right, wasn't he? It was temporary, in the end the Inquisitor did 'leave' him. No amount of time will ever be enough and all that goodness will be inverted with added heartache interest if when one of them dies. Relationships man. I... need to go read something fluffy.
