Inquisitors who start just wanting to do the right thing - They’re trying their hardest to save the world, maybe they’re even charming or kind. But as more and more of the fate of the world piles up on their shoulders, they bend, and twist, until by the end of the game they’re a seething, snapping ticking time bomb, the berth people give them fitting to the title of inquisitor. Heavy is the hand that wields the sword, no?

I cannot stop thinking about my dragon age OCs. They plague my every thought. I need to describe them in explicit detail to someone but that would be so boring oh my god I can’t stop rotating them in my mind like a cow

Super excited for DATV so I did the OC in symbolism chart for my canon heros of thedas! Drawings are by me, pictures all came from pinterest :)

(Assana's is definitely my favourite :D) Also Nadasa's hair isn't green it's brown but I was trying to do something new with pallettes so

I don’t know who my rook will be but you can rest assured they will be an absolute freak

Alright I can’t decide between my Hawkes so screw it they’re now on alternate timelines. Siblings who would kill for each other but can’t stand to be in the same room >>>

(Fiona as the sibling that lives to go through the events of da2 and inquisition will be my canon though, just because I find it adds an extra something something)

Guys I might compile my DA worldstate into 1 canon because. I am trying really hard to get out of the habit of replaying games because my character didn’t ‘fit the story’ the first time round. With that in mind! I can’t decide who I’m keeping

Warden: As much as I love Bemot (my brosca morriganmancer, #1 boy dad) my heart will always lie with Assana Mahariel (ultimate sacrifice, doomed romance with Sten, epitome of duty before self) A fun bonus is that I can headcanon Davrin named Assan after her and it still makes sense >:3

Hawke: This one I’m torn on. We’ve got my Warrior fenrismancer Leo, pretty wary of magic until right at the last second when he couldn’t stand to put circle mage Bethany in danger. Or Fiona, my Blood mage Isabela romance that’s fiercely anti Templar and anti circle, 100% thought Anders was right (if a bit crazy for other reasons).

Inqy: Leaning towards my warrior Solavellan Nadasa, (playing her rn!) - respectful, faithful, whole world comes crashing down as time goes on but is still desperately clinging to everything she believes (ie, the vallaslin are a symbol of her culture, solas can be saved, blackwall can redeem himself etc) BUT I do really like my Adaar, Kost (also a warrior bc I love warrior x mage). Dorianmancer, tal vashoth with a young son that he loves more than anything. A complete gentle giant softie whose life keeps being turned upside down.

Does anybody else get horrible anxiety about things that they actually probably wouldn’t care that much about if they happened. Is this thing on

In contrast, my ratings of the worst person you could put each companion with! (Or best, if you like chaos)

Blackwall: Cole (Would pick apart his nightmares/pre-bed anxieties)

Cassandra: Varric (Bickering all night like an old married couple)

Bull: Cole (Would also get his nightmares picked apart. Wouldn’t be able to sleep for the heebie jeebies)

Cole: Vivienne (She would watch him all night)

Sera: Cole (Wouldn’t be able to sleep because he freaks her out)

Varric: Cassandra (See above)

Dorian: Blackwall (The man normally sleeps in a stable… Dorian would definitely complain that he’s stinking up the tent all night.)

Solas: Sera (Lizards in the bedroll… need I say more?)

Vivienne: Sera (I fear she might actually winter’s grasp her)

Ever since I saw that post about how there’s only 2 tents at the camps in inquisition I can’t stop thinking of who would share tents to prevent arguments, and even more so what would happen with pairs who absolutely shouldn’t share

Blackwall: Can share with Bull, Sera or Varric.

Cassandra: Will only share with Vivienne; I don’t think she’d want to share with any of the men (maybe Blackwall but I think he would rather sleep outside to be a gentleman) and would definitely not trust Sera.

The Iron Bull: Will share with anybody apart from Vivienne (out of respect) or Cole (because he’d freak him out). Nobody really wants to share with him though because he takes up the whole tent and probably snores terribly. I’d imagine he usually ends up sharing with the inquisitor for that reason, depending on personality.

Cole: Won’t protest to sharing with anyone but the only people that feel comfortable are Varric and Solas. If neither of them are along everyone definitely insists he has to share with inqy.

Sera: Everyone is super wary of being pranked in their sleep. The only people willing to take their chances are Blackwall and Bull - maybe Varric too if they’re all tired enough.

Varric: He’s pretty chill, I would guess Blackwall, Bull, Cole, Dorian, and Solas would all be fine. Sera if they’re tired enough.

Dorian: Will reluctantly share with Bull or Varric. Probably prefers to bunk with inqy if he has a good relationship with them.

Solas: Mr I love the fade can’t go with anyone who will disturb his sleep (which eliminates most of the party…) so out of the people who are also willing to share with him (unwashed apostate hobo anybody?) I think he’d only share with Varric or Cole

Vivienne: Will reluctantly share with Cassandra or a high relationship fem inquisitor.

Tbh while I wish there was more nuance than I suspect there will be wrt inqys feelings toward solas (given that the only option we seem to be getting is whether they vow to stop or save him) I will be delighted if the romanced solas/vowed to stop him option gives all the bitter divorce feelings of swapping a child from one car to another outside a McDonald’s while the exs mistress looks on smugly

Repost of Sten University AU bc I didn't like the colouring on the old one.

I have THOUGHTS on this au, I think Sten would study fine art or art history. Definitely nobody understands how him and the HOF became friends, but he's been walking around campus like their own personal guard dog for so long that nobody really questions it anymore.

I feel people do not acknowledge enough the positive affect on your mental health to see something you dislike or disagree with on the internet and say “well that’s stupid. Anyway” and scroll. It’s wonderful I do it every day my skies are clear my day is yellow

Choosing to view the lack of origins and 2 choices as a good thing so here’s what my protags r doing;

Bemot Brosca; Is spending as much time with his son as possible between looking for a cure to the calling, choosing to believe he’s taken Kieran to visit his aunt and cousin in orzammar while morrigan does her thing in veilguard

Assana mahariel; Still dead rip queen you would have made a great mrs arishok

Leo Hawke; Fenris showed up to weisshaupt and dragged him away by the ear. They picked up Bethany on the way and the three of them now spend a lot of time having competitions on who can read Varrics books aloud, with voices, with a straight face for the longest. (Leo is winning with a record of half a chapter of swords and shields, although the other 2 refuse to recognise his win under the allegations of having heard him practising in the bathroom.)

Fiona Hawke; Still in the fade, sorry girl but if it helps Carver and Isabela are definitely stubborn enough to try and rip a hole in it to pull you out. It won’t work but they’re trying

(Side note: this has made me realise all my fem characters get only pain and suffering while my male characters are just chilling and tbh I think that’s cause my female characters are fully fleshed out beings that I love to give satisfactory themes and arcs while my male characters are just some dude I plucked out of the sewer by the scruff of the neck and went yeah. That’ll do.)

I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.

My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.

Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.

First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).

Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!
