Templartations Exchange 2025 is on its way!

We're back for the fourth year in a row! We hope that the recent release of Dragon Age the Veilguard fueled everyone with new creative power. Moreover, the game brought us new Templar characters who are just waiting for us to fill their AO3 tags ❤

What is Templartations Exchange?

Templartations Exchange is a Discord server exclusive fics and arts exchange (hosted on AO3) created to celebrate templar, ex-templar, almost templar, and conditional templar characters from the Dragon Age universe, such as Cullen Rutherford, Alistair Theirin, Raleigh Samson, Delrin Barris, Knight Captain Rylen, Carver Hawke, and others

Note: even though this is a templars-related event, members of the Templartations community DO NOT necessarily go with templars siding play-throughs nor share the in-game pro templars views. This is an event hosted for everyone to celebrate their favorite Dragon Age characters and appreciate the diversity in the fandom.

How do I sign up?

Please follow the link to our Templartations Discord server here, complete The Recruitment, and look for the instructions in the Exchange channel.

Event time table:

Nominations: February 15th - February 22nd 

Sign-ups: 3 weeks: February 23rd - March 15th

Assignments Issued: March 16th

Creation Period: 8 weeks: March 16th - May 10th

We look forward to seeing you there, both returning and new participants. Our ask box is open if you have any additional questions. Happy creating!

Finally finished an illustration for my Dragon Age 2 Matchmaking Moms AU fic Kiss Me Moonstruck where Garrett Hawke and Rose Trevelyan are fixed up by their enterprising mothers over Satinalia week in early Act 2. This pairs with Chapter 13: Like a Couple Adolescents. This entire fic sprouted from the one line Leandra Hawke delivers to (male) Hawke (possibly female Hawke too) about wanting to find him a wife after moving into the old Amell Estate.

Please enjoy my blorbos as they suffer a truly obscene influx of oxytocin.

We'll see what Tumblr does to the colors in this art 😬

mutuals can always dm me but be warned i talk like your coworker who is trying too hard to get to know you and my response times are akin to the response times you might get if we were communicating by letter

[carnalapples]

you can't predict the thematic twists and turns of my blog

[carnalapples]

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

[carnalapples]

no ad is as powerful as a tumblr mutual who has a new hyperfixation 

[carnalapples]

did you seriously just let it linger

[carnalapples]

You're arranged married to one of the DA LIs, spin the wheel for who!!

[carnalapples]

I engage with fiction in a normal way. don’t look at my blog
