RULES

001. This blog is private, selective, and low activity. I'm very selective with who I follow and prioritize interactions with mutuals for my own peace of mind. I'm very busy IRL and I’ll do what I can when I am around, but I don’t plan to take on a very big load. I'm also a slow writer and I won't be rushed into replying. That's the quickest way to get me to unfollow you.002. This blog will contain triggering content on it. The story of the warden includes parent death, horror (origins is practically a horror game, with cults, undead, etc.), body horror (due to the nature of darkspawn and changes within grey wardens). Even though I'm going to do my best to minimize exposure to these triggers, not just for my own comfort but everyone else's, they will still pop up. These triggers and anything else that pops up will be tagged as β€˜[trigger] /’, such as β€˜death /’. While I don’t have any triggers that need to be tagged, I do respect those that others need and will tag anything! If I forget anything, please don’t hesitate to shoot me a message and ask me to do so! I don’t want to make others uncomfortable. It’s never my intention!003. Due to the content on this blog, this is not a safe place for minors. If you want to follow me, please be 18+. If you don't have your age listed on your blog, I won't follow you.004. While I prefer not to write threads with duplicates, I love following duplicates and chatting with them ooc! If you’re another Warden / Hero of Ferelden roleplayer, feel free to bother me! I don’t mind sharing resources and any information I have!

005. Be a good person and treat me and others on this site with respect and kindness. Don’t be a bigoted asshole and don't support bigoted assholes. Islamophobia, transphobia, homophobia, racism, you name it: that shit is not tolerated here. It costs nothing to be a decent human being.006. Although I love ships and developing them, I don’t ship characters with Ashera automatically. I never want to put people into that position and I wouldn’t want it done to me. I’d prefer that if any ship occurs, the muses have chemistry and that a mun and I have talked about it personally.* I refuse to write incest, underage ships, and other disgusting shit, so please don’t follow me if that’s things you like. That’s nasty, fam.* I may headcanon that Ashera and Tamlen had something romantically charged going on, but I won't force anyone who writes Tamlen to abide by that. I'm 100% fine keeping stuff platonic or familial!007. Even though mature content will appear on this blog, I don't like to write NSFW threads and headcanons for my muses. If there's ever a thread that heads into NSFW territory, I'd prefer for it go to a fade to black. However, I won't hold any of my writing and/or ship partners back from exploring that with their own muses. Have fun, fam.008. Please do NOT steal any of the headcanons you see on my blog. If you reach out to me, I’m always more than willing to share things with other roleplayers! I don’t mind just as long as we’ve talked to each other beforehand.
