DAO folks, plus DAA cause I love them. All of them a drawn to look about how I headcanon them at the start of DAA (hence why Anders is still a golden boy). Plus some general headcanons.

Specific praise to @kesterite cause I used their art as inspiration for specifically Sten and Alistair.

His love language is emotional manipulation

"You belong with me"

A little anders/handers/justice illustration that's been haunting me for the last few days - and a bonus extra version because when i sent it to my friend she said "noooo don't take his pretty eyes away from meeee" and she was right <3

“Anders was right” “Fenris was right” it’s Merrill. Merrill is right.

i desperately needed a scene where the two have a moment of empathy towards eachother despite everything. Their beef felt very one dimensional and frankly out of character at times. Playing veilguard really makes me wonder what could've been they had taken the same time and dedication into building the dynamics between the da2 companions.

Man I wish I could be one of those cool mysterious artists that drop a drawing with a vague poetic 1-2 line caption before dipping, but I like yapping about my fandom brainrot too much

Oh man it's gonna be hilarious when Lucanis gets treated better by the narrative while having an actually malevolent spirit inside him than Anders did while having an explicitly good aligned spirit inside him.

There can be no half-measures...

There can be no turning back...

BELOVED BOY, love Anders so much. And below the cut (if I did this right) is some of my progress shots, funky color hue messes, and the version I drew just a month ago.

I hate to be that person, but I just realized that between the beginning of DAO and DA4 there's about a 23/24 year gap, so you know... how to put it-

I don't think HoF and Alistair during Veilguard will be alive (or in good shape anyway), unless in the time between DAI and DA4 they have found a cure for the Calling.

David Gaider said in this 2012 interview:

"Thirty years is the maximum that you could probably expect. It's going to vary for an individual according to their willpower and the level of their interaction with the darkspawn. During a Blight you can expect that the Gray Wardens are going to have shorter lifespans. Outside of a Blight the Gray Wardens would tend to live longer. We have instances in the game of people going on their Calling after five or ten years quote shouldn't be taken as gospel, that's the way I like it. "

And probably everyone who became Gray Warden in the time between Awakening and the first act of DA2 will also be close to their Calling in Dragon Age the Veilguard.

i'm gonna cry
