so basically i couldn't help myself and once again started Hyacitnh playthrough and thought "huh this hairstyle is a nice middle ground between most of her looks even tho she never actually had it and it makes her look like she's actually 19" and then there was no way back (i also adjusted her face slightly so she won't look quite so similar to Siona)

here's some screenshots so y'all can see how good she turned out

[inverswayart]

gee Hyacinth how come they let you have 2 moms?

so yeah i finally got the design's for all of Hyacinth's parents! Introducing Alim and Neria Surana, the city elves and Siona Varlas Talim way before her the potential Inquisition times

and also Siona in Surana sandwich >:)

something took over me and made me do this valentin-esque thing vaguely inspired by iconic photo of mortimer and bella goth from the sims 2. enjoy

I love seeing people’s picrew art styles because you can just look at them and be like

“You read homestuck and it was a big part of your life for a few years, you’re not into steven universe but you did watch it, and you had an intense black butler phase in middle school and doodled their eyes over and over again in your spiral notebooks”

i won't be able to play veilguard for who knows how long (my pc simply can't run it) so it seems like i'll be diving into earlier games instead

also i somehow amassed a shitton of ocs and so i might as well just post stuff about them. so here's all other guys who might become Inquisitors!

from left to right - Oda and Renata Trevelyan (Lambert's older and eldest sisters), Hissera and Merit Adaar (aunt and niece with some other extended family), Siona Varlas (not part of clan Lavellan but still went to Conclave as their representative), Ellas and Harea Telmarona Lavellan (the twin babies of the bunch at literal 19 y.o. each), Flint "Cadash" (got adopted into family from the Dusttown and never became a part of it proper) and Almaz Cadash (enforcer and problem solver oh her way to get rid of Flint)

fun fact - i had so much fun coming up with all of them that in Lambert's worldstate i decided to keep them all alive so they can hang out in the background while Lambert has to be the protagonist (except for Oda who tries to kill him in the interim between Corypheus' death and Tresspasser because she is a terrible little fanatic <3)

There was Dragon Age Origins birthday just 2 days ago and I'm happy to report that I spent it modding and recreating old&making new Wardens. There's a few I haven't gotten to yet - like Hyacinth, Sunburst and Julie = but there's also a couple of new faces!

So give it up for:

Adelaida Aeducan - daddy's girl and kinslayer who girlbossed a little too close to the sun💀

Sanya Brosca - local hustler, loving sister and skull-crusher✨

And a couple of familiar faces -

Meirlin Mahariel - just a sad herbalist 🌿 once again reliving the horrors of being dragged into the Blight, and

Bernard Amell - desperately trying to keep a straight face 😇 in prospect of a date with his spirit soulmate Determination

so yeah. origins was super fun to revisit, brosca and mahariel prologues fuck like crazy, aeducan intrigues are actually cool and mage origin is still my most beloved one

in short, go play origins

in a perfect world where bioware had enough time and resourses to make WEWH an actual masquerade ball Celene would've rocked pastoral shepherdess costume and all the baggage attached to it both out- and in-universe

was heavily inspired by the "lady as a shepherdess" genre of portraits and in particular Mademoiselle Guimard as Terpsichore by Jacques-Louis David (not exactly shepherdess but the vibes are exquisit)

[inverswayart]

finally pinned down Hyacinth's design in times of Inquisition!

she got cool lyrium-infused armour, fresh haircut and also mutations from lyrium overuse (maybe routinely keeping 3 auras active at the same time wasn't such a great idea...)

[inverswayart]

fun fact - Lambert has absolutely zero poker face so Josephine had to get him a full face mask just so he would have a chance to get anything done at Halamshiral

at more serious note wouldn't it be cool if inquisitor actually had to wear full mask for the duration of WEWH (with the exceptions of the final balcony scene perhaps?) like i know it probably wouldn't look that great in-game but like

they already make you wear something extremely removed from your character culture no matter of your background - it's neither a marcher/circle fashions, nor in carta/dalish/vashoth sensibilities - and at this point they might as well completely obscure your face. show how the persona of Inquisitor is eclipsing actual person in the most literal way possible - they already have that with how Inquisitor is announced, esp if you take mages' side, so why not go all the way in?

also sketched the rough version of the outfit. shout out to elizabethan fashions and the Resplendent Formal Wear mod for saving my sanity

being OCpilled is so fucking mortifying honestly. like oh... yeah..... heres my guy. i invented him. i can't think about anything else except for him this week. but he isn't cool or anything. he actually sucks. im just ill.

[inverswayart]

suddenly remembered that i can post whatever i want so here's my current main Hawkelings Marinette and Harrier in dai

(shame vanilla game won't allow you to combine bloodswipes...)

i'm actually kinda proud of how they turned out! ofc tehre's some details that i couldn't do in vanilla dai, like marinette's full kaddis paint or harrier's jewelry or just their outfits in general but in terms of face structure this is actually very close to how i see them

bonus varric not even trying to hide his pining (can't blame him tho, harrier is a legit snack):

[inverswayart]

everyone tell me in the tags what your warden and your hawke named their dogs right now

[inverswayart]

Inadvisable Hawke concept - blue force mage lady who is somehow looks almost exactly like Meredith's dead sister Amelia (and for bonus points is named something really similar)

Also, since noone in Kirkwall knows how Amelia even looked to them Hawke looks eerily like Meredith

[inverswayart]

Question #1 of the dragon age ask game for Marinette, please

1. your Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor's opinion on Orlais?

Not great one :.D

Marinette. despite how her name sounds, is Fereldan to the core - she grew up on Malcolm's tales of his parents fighting with rebelion against Orlesian rule. When she arrived in Kirkwall, she had to deal with condensention and outright aggression from, among others, orlesian nobles, and then there was also the whole Chateau Haine mess - and after all that she then had to deal with Orlesian Grey Wardens going bonkers.

So, in the end, she has basically nothing good to say about it

16 Lambert👀

16. do they get sentimental about their weapons or armour?

Lambert doesn't get particularly attached to objects on their own, but he does get sentimental about gifts and memories - and after certain point a lot of his wardrobe is connected to memories of shopping and commissioning clothes/armour with Josephine, so he treasures those particular items.

As for a weapons, he spent a long time not particularly caring about his swords; but then came the moment he defeated Samson, and, following his complicated feelings about him, took his sword Certainty for himself. Lambert kinda promised himself that he'll do what Samson couldn't and Certainty symbolizes that promise and hopefully, since it was cleansed from red lyrium, Lambert won't repeat neither Samson nor Meredith's fate.

Hyacinth - 8

8. who do they hate the most, and do they have an arch-nemesis?

The thing about Hyacinth is that usually she simply doesn’t have time and energy to hate someone if they aren’t in her line of sight - sure, she despises institutions and organizations, but in a kinda abstract, removed way - after all, she has more important things to do with her time. But it doesn’t mean she doesn’t hate anyone in particular, and if there’s one person who managed to grab the first place on the List of People Hyacinth Surana Hates (quite the feat!) it’s Cullen Rutherford.

Frankly, there was probably many more viable candidates for that position (Fifth Blight and civil war were dark times) but he uniquely managed to be awful to Hyacinth and mages in general in one of Hyacinth's lowest, most vulnerable and fractured moments - she just had to kill many, many warped remains of people she lived alongside of for most of her life (including little children), fight even more possessed templars, almost get possessed by demon herself, listen to Cullen blame her for his temptations (even tho she had spent her circle life trying to be as proper and inoffensive as possible), fight for the life of the closest she had to a father in her whole life - and all of that while utterly exhausted, addled by too many lyrium potions and severely dissociating. And after all that, after so many brushes with death and worse, after giving her everything and then some more... Cullen looks her in the eye and demands her to kill every survivor (including little children and, even tho he doesn't say it aloud, herself as well).

That.. left a mark. And even tho there was also Greagoir requesting the right of annulment and locking everyone up to be slaughtered, at the very least he still had enough decency to fulfill his end of a deal, while Cullen insisted on total purge, and from that moment on he became the epitome of everything wrong with templar order and Circles' in Hyacinth's mind. The memory still haunts her even a decade later.

As for arch-nemesis, Hyacinth (in a very Warden fashion) considers the Blight itself her ultimate enemy and will do everything and more to defeat it and ward her loved ones from it.
