Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

i don’t know how many of you have tried the route where you tell cullen to keep taking lyrium but i played some of it once and there’s this kind of unintentionally hysterical bit where you get another chance to tell him to stop and the game really really wants to make sure you know that drugs are bad. so there’s this whole scene where he’s like “i’m doing bad. i’m fucking miserable. is there no end? are you leashed until the day you die?” and the game gives you the choice AGAIN, like are you SURE, are you REALLY SURE, and if you keep at it the inquisitor’s response is basically 👍

I tried a new painting style with this one, not sure if I'll use it again.

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

I've been replaying DAO and I have to admit it's kinda hilarious how each class' 'evil' specialization is obtained.

For blood magic, one must sell the soul of an innocent child to a demon.

For the reaver specialization, one must defile a sacred artifact for a crazed cultist and drink dragon blood.

For an assassin, one must be nice enough to Zevran that he's willing to show you. Zevran has morals.

One of these is not like the others.

varric tethras woke up and put on his cock ring necklace and red tunic. he threw his hair up into a messy bun and came downstairs.

"pack your things bitch! i sold you for red lyrium money" said hawke from the kitchen table, cigarette in hand.

"what? you're a horrible person!"

"well i love red lyrium and i hate you!" said hawke. varric felt something hard hit the back of his head. hawke had thrown a copy of hard in hightown at him. varric ran for the door.

"hawke, he's trying to run away!" screamed anders as he grabbed varric. he was also smoking a red lyrium cigarette. when varric opened the door there was a beautiful butch lesbian standing there with a bald guy and a person with a glowing hand.

"ello, love! we're your new owners! i'm cassandra" said the beautiful butch.

"aren't you those losers from that stupid inquisition? there's no way i'm going with you!" varric turned to run away. the green hand one gestured to the bald guy, who started telling stories about the fade in extreme detail. it was so boring it started putting varric to sleep.

"thanks for taking him off my hands, inquisitor! goodbye, slut!" hawke laughed. it was the last thing varric heard before the bald guy's iambic pentameter made him pass out.

everyone in inquisition: magic was never meant to be touched by dwarves like this... the inquisitor is playing with forces beyond their understanding... i cannot imagine the toll it's taking on them... how much more they can handle.........

Cadash and Dagna fucking around & throwing random shit at the anchor just to see if something funny happens:

Blackwall: the Inquisitor is a fine and delicate lady. so refined. so lovely

Cadash, hurling herself at the enemy: COME GET SOME FUCKTRUCKS I’M GONNA RAM THIS BLADE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU’LL BE PUKING SWORD OIL UNTIL YOU BLEED TO DEATH.  YEAH YOU HEARD ME YOU TALL MOTHERFUCKER.  C’MERE SO I CAN HEADBUTT YOU IN THE JUNK

Blackwall: dreamy sigh. what an accomplished gentlewoman

"It's so cute that you think I'm giving you a choice."

That's the Warden-Commander Aeducan welcome to the order for ya! XD

Just felt nostalgic about the Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Expansion and Nathaniel Howe, and I thought I'd add a more character-accurate touch to his recruitment cutscene in the game :D

Thanks to my patrons for the support and encouragement, making comics and artworks like this possible ;w;

Reactions to Mystra’s Orders for Gale

The companions: Mystra is selfish, petty, and incorrect in her assessment of Gale’s worth. Unbelievable. Poor Gale :(
