how it looks for two loner shut-ins to swag out together

I've been mildly indulged so here comes the url

I’m taking his boon every time

was so caught up by the beauty of another fat tav mod that i went into the comments and got ambushed by the fatphobia...

dragon age twitter au? dragon age twitter au. HAWKE EDITION

Varric Tethras as a character is wild. He calls everyone by a nickname. He writes trashy romance novels. He’s a prolific liar. His family got them kicked out of the dwarf kingdom for rigging dwarven Wrestlemania matches. He has fingers in literally every crime ring in Kirkwall. He lives in a pub. He named his weapon after his absent girlfriend with whom he has a restraining order. He denies his involvement in keeping the wizard police away from his friend’s illegal magic Urgent Care. He’s the mom of the friend group. And he does this all while being four feet tall

practicing flattery

Hawke being left in the Fade is heartbreaking...

but it's so dramatic, and it's just so HER.

(EDIT: forgot to add, lyrics Mitski, "Francis Forever")

just finished first playthrough of da2, thinking about some post-game ship captain isabela and her 2nd hand (and lover)

I don’t foresee myself drawing too much DA2 stuff, but I gotta draw Hawke and Isabela AT LEAST once 

now kiss kiss fall in love! >:U

That awesome, satisfying feeling you get when you unexpectedly dig out loads of Arishok fanart and posts 

maybe it’s better just to believe in people

His shitty attitude and grabbable waist have bewitched me

camp clothes origins style

excellent storytellers with a heroic streak and an irresistably charming flair (aka the two characters that make up my entire personality)

— (Varric & Wyll)

also noooo i totally dont have a thing for scars and stubble and jewelry SHUSHHH

literally the mahariel origin is so horrifying in terms of this disconnect from identity forced upon you by your clan refusing to share your parents’ past with you but simultaneously fostering this idea that “you don’t belong to just yourself”.

If Mahariel leans so staunchly into their identity being tied up as one of the clan (as you are repeatedly encouraged to) then being told by your keeper that you need to become a grey warden to survive is like.

“Please don’t cast me away.” You are begging for your identity!!! For everything you’ve known!! This is a different type of death sentence: you’re leaving behind the only family and home you’ve ever known, and just before you do, you find out they’ve been lying to and keeping secrets from you “for your benefit”.

What do they think would’ve happened by telling you? Sparing you from sadness? You carry the grief of your fallen empire on your shoulders constantly. Why can’t Mahariel know the sad truth about their parents? What else is being kept from you? And so there’s a little bit of distrust about your clan being sown.

But you have to cling to it because the distrust and fear of the humans is even stronger. You’re the only dalish elf in the grey wardens. You’re carrying your whole culture and people into this organization that demands you lay it down “for the greater good”. What the HELL.
