the way Oghren is like a genuinely interesting character but it’s hard to actually talk about him due to The Way That He Is

Been playing Dragon Age games again and got inspired to draw all my favorite companions

she asked for no pickles

How I pratice drawing things, now in a tutorial form. The shrimp photo I used is here Show me your shrimps if you do this uvu  PS: lots of engrish because foreign 

I'm getting pulled in by the shale x wynne propaganda. I've never even thought of them as a thing before but it makes so much sense and feels right

Zevran: you know, you were in my dream last night...

Alistair: oh really? What were.. what were we doin..?

Zevran: we were fucking.

Alistair: ....oh..

Do you think Nathaniel Howe and Sebastian Vael ever explored each other's bodies...

Fact is oghren loved branka in the way y’all can only put in fanfic & wattpad kidnapped by one direction stories. Oghren loved his paragon so much that he drove his entire house into the dust just for a CHANCE to fight for her. 2 entire years he spent banging on the doors of the assembly/palace demanding she not be abandoned. Of course it drove him to drinking and raging and drinking some more, he was taught that paragons are living GODS (pretty much) and was contending with the cruel, shattering reality that it’s been reduced to just face and politics. And there’s a lot to unpack about political corruption there but there is also a note to be made about how far into the abyss the darkspawn have pushed his proud people into over generations upon generations. He isn’t just mourning branka he is mourning honor and culture and religion. His OWN but also his PEOPLE’S. You’re not allowed to talk to him about it though uhh fart joke - here, hold that

the cassarric brainrot is back so I’ve been trying to figure out how to draw them again

(sneaking some spicy art in there too 👀)

Objectively speaking, I understand and respect the fact that Alistair is a straight man. His attachment to the (male) Warden and the fact that he can get jealous of Morrigan don't show that he has a crush as much as him feeling uncertain, lost, unable to make his own decisions, and sort of childish (and rightfully so, as he's actually like 20? Ma'am that's a child). Fair or not, Alistair direly wants and needs the Warden as an older sibling-like figure he can attach to and drop all his decisions into, and a romance with Morrigan, who is his polar opposite in the moral compass, would feel like a threat by having his point of support drifting away from him.

That said, Alistair's whole character in DAO revolves around him figuring out and accepting who he is, who he wants to be, and how he wants to be that (which, by the way, makes it incredibly ironic that it's all ultimately in the player's hand). He can be hardened and be more resolute about his own agency in his own life; he can refuse to have the circumstances change him into a rougher version of himself; he can choose to be king; he can say 'I know I'm not a leader even it the world keeps telling me I have to be'. Having him struggling with and accepting same-sex attraction would add a layer to his relationship with his identity.

Plus, I don't think it's coincidental that Alistair and Morrigan, the two most plot-heavy romances in DAO, are the ones who are straight-locked. If either of them were companions in DAII or DAI, when the series is more comfortable with giving space to queer characters, it's much more likely one or both of them would be bi.
