tell me about ur dragon age ocs... like origin bebes to start pls... 🥺🤠💕💗🥺

Omg!! OKAy so I have like 4 wardens but I am still in the process of developing some of them so some descriptions might vary..

 Uliama Aeudcan~ 

- Princess Uli thought the WORLD of her older brother Trian. She would have done anything he said without question and always pictured being his right-hand woman when he ruled. The thing is, Trian was ruthless and reckless and would have made a terrible king. But she was so blinded by her love for him that she didn’t even see it. That’s one of the hardest things for her to come to terms with. While she was competitive with her brothers, she also felt comfortable in her position, it was more devotion to her father and Trian that drove her. She had a very cold and stoic relationship with Bhelen because she didn’t see him as someone who’d ever make a name for himself in the family. A part of her was frustrated at him for not making more of an effort to be better, and that certainly backfired. If Uli had been made Queen or Orzammar at the beginning of Origins, she would have been as bad if not worse than Trian. Uli's strengths come from her willingness to change. She is at her core, a justice-seeking person who gets the job done and she grows a LOT during her journey against the archdemon. She romances Zevran~

 Dakila Tabris~ 

- Dakila is a calm and collected soul. They are typically mellow and gentle, thinking more on the logical side. As a child, Dakila was pretty high-energy and would get into all sorts of trouble. Then one day they tried to pick-pocket a guard and were caught. While Dakila ran away from them, they guard send their hounds after them. The attack blinded Dakila in one eye and left them with an intense fear of animals and an even bigger distrust of humans. They decided to be a rule-follower and have stuck with the tradition of their people. They did NOT want to leave with Duncan at all and they were forced to leave the alienage by the right of conscription. They are very soft spoken and quiet most of the time with a sadness in the air around them. They romanced Morrigan~

 Marie Surana~ 

(lol sorry for the TERRIBLE quality on this one I couldn’t find the original) 

- Marie was born to Orlesian elven servants of the Empress and was originally sent to the Orlesian circle when she was around 3 years old when her magic sparked and scared the kitchen staff. My own personal headcanon is that in Orlais, many elves are killed as children so that they don’t have to desegregate the humans with the elves even in the Circle (since Orlais isn't kind to elves). But since her parents came forward to a noblewoman in their company for help, Marie was spared. She lived at the Oresian Circle until she turned 10. The Ferelden first enchanter visited and gathered a handful of children there since crowding had began to cause problems and Marie showed promise. She was transferred to the Ferelden Circle, where elves were far more commonly accepted as mages. Marie grew up as a child often thinking that she had a divine role to play. While in the Orlesian Circle, she mostly kept to herself while reading wild fantasy stories and picturing herself as the heroine. Although she was bullied, she would often exaggerate the tales to the First Enchanters so that it would fuel her own fantasies of having a “tragic backstory.” Moving to Ferelden was at first thrilling to her but she was quickly disappointed with the difference in culture (the aesthetic ya kno?). Her own sorrows became a coping mechanism in a grand fantastical tale she believed was playing out for her. She is an idealist, believing herself to be a tragic heroine who's story hasn't played out yet. She romances Alistair~ 

 Sylvester Cousland~ 

(he has no good art cus he's still new here) 

- The frat boy king of Thedas. Marries Anora for the clout. 🤪

[glamfellens]

Peak content lad, hope u have a nice new year :)

aye cheers lad, happy new year!!! 

[mlmalistair]

ur blog makes me so happy... 😭😭💕🥺 mlm ali is so good 🥺🥺

he really is huh 🥺 he doesn’t have much content but i cherish what we have 😌

[galaxywhale-moved]

(biiitchofcambridge) tell me about ur multiple warden au!!!!!

Thank you for asking!! The two main wardens are Frankie Brosca and Shayla Tabris.

Frankie is the leader, she feels she owes the Wardens (and Duncan) everything for her first real chance to do something with her life and she’s devastated when they’re lost. She and Alistair connect over that (which leads to their growing relationship where they both fall in love) and she’s determined to prove herself worthy of the wardens.

In comparison, Shayla was conscripted and feels it was the choice of be a warden or die. She’d have run before the Joining if given enough time and a proper chance to think about it. She’s resentful of Duncan and the wardens and don’t get on, especially when they all go and die on her and leave her with even more responsibility she never wanted in the first place. She’s not a fan in particular of Alistair - he represents everything she hates, men, humans, wardens, nobles and he’s so frustratingly optimistic. She romances Zevran and he helps her process her anger and let go of the unproductive anger while holding onto her passion for justice and change. 

Frankie and Shayla don’t get on, they have completely conflicting views and have to learn to get along.  

There’s also Thaddeus Amell - he’s not a warden till near the end of the game/story. He just kind of... follows them, and they keep him much like they do with Dog lmao. Tad’s my himbo OC, he’s a giant dumbass with a heart of gold and I love him. He romances Morrigan, who originally tries to insult him much like she does Alistair but it backfires because he’s pretty much like huh yeah you’re right haha. He’s hot, so she guesses he can join her in her tent as embarassing as she finds that and then oh no feelings. 

Other than that, everything is pretty much following canon except there’s 3 of them after the circle! Frankie ends up Warden Commander with Alistair, Shayla and Zevran take off to do their own thing, and Tad finds Morrigan and they raise their 3 (maybe 2 idk) children together <3

It also features Magdelaine Cousland and Tia Surana as minor background characters. Maggie escapes Castle Cousland and starts heading to Denerim. She encounters Tia. who managed to escape from the Circle, and both of them travel together from then - and then they fall in love, and also end up as a Cousland x Surana x Anora thing <3 Love my lesbian queens. 

[dalishious]

hey!! so I’ve bought the ultimate edition of Dragon Age: Origins and I was wondering in what order should I play the DLC’s? and completely unrelated but WHY do people complain about Morrigan being so hard to please/she’s cruel? I threatened the Revered Mother to get the key to Sten’s cage and alistair was like -13. I have done virtually nothing to morrigan and she gives me +2 every convo. what the fuck dragon age fandom!!!!

I usually do The Stone Prisoner sometime after Redcliffe, which is usually the first of the main plot pieces I go to, because it just feels organically placed there, IDK. You can do that one at any point, but I recommend taking Shale with you to the Deep Roads, so you might want to do it before going to Orzammar.

I recommend waiting until you recruit Wynne to do Return to Ostagar and bring her along, as she is one of the chattier companions in that DLC. 

Warden’s Keep is pretty small and feels like any other side quest in the base game, so you can do that one any time you like, really?

I recommend completing Awakening before doing Witch Hunt for some extra skills and a little extra dialogue. (Awakening and Witch Hunt are campaigns that take place after the base game, so you need to complete the base game first. Or well, you don’t need to, you could always do Awakening with an Orlesian warden, but if it’s your first time I definitely recommend going through the base game and then doing it with your warden from that. I mean, if you choose for them to survive.)

Leliana’s Song is a campaign that exists in its own little world, and anytime you just feel like doing it, you can do it. You will gain some special armour for the base game from completing it though, so if you want that for your base game playthrough, then you should do it and complete that side quest to get it. :P

The Darkspawn Chronicles is an AU where you play as the darkspawn and kill all the protagonists of the base game; it also exists in its own little world. Like Leliana’s Song, you can get special gear for the base game from it, but FYI, this DLC is hard.

The Golems of Amgarrak is extremely hard; that was its selling point. I’ve only done it like, twice. Like Awakening and Witch Hunt, it’s a campaign that takes place after the base game.

Morrigan isn’t at all that hard to get along with once you get a handle of her personality and what to expect from her, really. Fans just don’t like her because “she’s a bitch” (see: a female character that doesn’t bend to the PC’s every whim and wish and has her own goals and agendas.) Like, there are valid things to dislike about her character, but IMO that’s not one of them.

(Also re: specifically your incident about getting the key to Sten’s cage - Alistair wants you to persuade the Mother for Sten’s key, or pick it yourself and there’s no approval change for anyone. Also if you recruit Leliana before this from the tavern, she can help with the Mother.)

[raymurata]

ahhh love ur blog!! sorry, just wanted to pop by and say that 💕

Oh Maker! I missed this message before =O 

Thank you soooo much, love!

dragon age inquisition

okay so I’ve only just started playing DAI and I’ve been binging the fandom content. So, as a newbie, this is the conclusions I’ve drawn so far.

Cullen: blushing crackhead who has a heart of gold?? also styles his hair (jealous of it tbh). 

Varric: little man syndrome and he writes smut? Relatable. cool earrings, too.

Cole: Blackwall and Varric’s son. Poetic stupid-hat dood.

Blackwall: Emo dad?? Conquerer of All-Beards?

Josephine: smart as a literal WHIP and like, she’s a girl worth fighting for tbh (not that I need to)

Cassandra: B. D. E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like, idk how she fits her balls in those pants, my dude.

Iron Bull: HORNy thot with big man tiddies.

Krem: Bull’s son who’s haircut I’m HIGHKEY jealous of.

Leliana: quiet stabby bonch with gingery hair lols.

Sera: who I aspire to be as a bi girl oh ma lordy lord. literally the funniest? also: BREECHES

Solas: the nerd who will cut off my hand if I romance him? idk why he does that but I won’t b suckin his magic staff.

Vivienne: the coolest bone structure lady who takes care of geriatrics?

that’s it?? for now?? i’m still in the Hinterlands tryin’ to close rifts so blegh.

[imrisah]

Ok,, not to be awful, but Dorian’s dad is like... Daddy material. Just sayin’... also, I just saw the text post about the wonky update schedule, and I can safely say that it doesn’t matter because you always get ur stuff out and I’m never disappointed!! Have a fantastic day!!! 💕

[merrilldidnothingwrong]

hi ur blog is a+ and im loving it!!

aw thank you so much! its so much more fun now that its growing!! 💖💖

[feymaid]

can i get a shitpost of ur DA2 fam? i am bummed out that no one is critical of characters anymore n i need a pick-me-up... :(

OF COURSE!!!! Thank u for asking ;o; (These got a bit longer than the last oop)

1) Luanna Hawke (Uli’s Aeducan’s world-state) ~

She was my first Hawke! She has a primarily purple/blue personality. 

. She worked as a mercenary during her first year in Kirkwall! Luanna gets a whole lot stronger and develops a thicker skin when working with him since she is a very emotional person. Her emotions don’t go away, but she learns how to better mask her emotions with humor to cope. She was extremely close with Bethany, much more so than Carver. Since both her and Bethany were mages, they often trained together, and Luanna was prone to leaving Carver out of her life. She still loved him dearly but it wasn’t until Bethany died and Luanna realized that Carver’s anger towards her felt justified. This was devastating to her and she tried everything she could to get the two of them to be closer, including taking him to the Deep Roads. Carver became a Grey Warden thankfully, but it was very hard for her to see him go. She romanced Fenris! She was drawn to him because Luanna’s self-confidence and will to better herself was extremely low when they met. She found his drive and passion to just get things done extremely admirable and found herself trying to mimic his strength.  She fought the Arishock for Isabela. Isabela is her best friend next to Varric and there was no way she’d let her be taken away. She faced death in that fight when she was stabbed through the stomach. Anders was able to save her but she was permanently scarred. She supported the mages! But did not support Ander’s decision to blow up the Chantry. Despite being a mage, Luanna is Andrastian and was very good friends with Sebastian. However, due to the fact that she and Anders were good friends throughout the game, she couldn’t find it in her heart to kill him. She survives the fade and goes on to have two kiddos.

2) Alphonsa Hawke (Dakila’s Word-State) ~

- Primarily Red but occasionally diplomatic personality.

Alphonsa is my weirdo meanie Hawke who has a bit of an awkward streak but through all of the bullshit, truly means well. She also doesn’t look as clean as she does in the drawing above, often resorting to a terrible hand-cut bowl she does with a pocket knife. She’s pretty quiet and introverted, not ever wanting to grand-stand or stand out. She’s a blood mage too so she wants to fly under the radar as much and hates the attention being champion gives her. With her companions, she has a slower start to forming bonds with them, but eventually considers most of them her friends. She actually ends up marrying Sebastian. So. It’s no secret that the Sebastian romance in DA2 is lacking in content in comparison to the other companions, so a lot of this is my own interpretation of events sprinkled with the canon in-game stuff. Alfie loves Sebastian because he is literally just a good-hearted, kind person. Alfie was never seriously religious. She’s one of those who believe that IF there is a Maker, he has “abandoned his creation la dee da.” She has never really allowed herself to be taken care of. And despite Alfie’s naturally pessimistic attitude, she does try. She wants to be a good person but her anger often times envelopes her when she sees a simple solution to a problem. She’s impatient and needlessly cruel at times. But she is self-aware in her anger, which makes her resent herself a bit. With Sebastian, she actively avoids him at first because the sort of compassion he offers is so alien to her, and how open he is about his heartbreak with his family’s deaths gets under her skin. Long story short, (I have like an essay tucked away about their relationship in general) The two bond over the mutual feeling of the deaths of their families. And they fall in love and get married!!  Alfie isn’t all that upset that the marriage is chaste since she is just so dumb-struck that someone loves her! Act 3 Al is sooo much happier and softer. She grows her hair out and starts taking better care of herself. THEN the chantry explosion happens and her whole world falls apart again. The Chantry represented so much for her. It was her place of healing and peace when she felt alone. It was even more so for Sebastian. In my canon too, Sebastian wasn’t with her when the Chantry exploded. So for one awful moment, she thinks he’s dead. Alfie doesn’t even give Anders a chance to speak. She just beats the absolute SHIT out of him fully intending to beat him to death. And she doesn’t stop until Sebastian literally pulls her off of him. She kills Anders despite supporting the mages. Sebastian drags her off to Starkhaven soon after and she’s glad to go. She has three boys parallel to Sebastian and his brothers for fun.  

Ezekiel Hawke (Marie’s World-state) ~ 

- Red personality. 

Ez is my rouge red Hawke and was a character I made to see how evil I could be in a game since I personally find it really hard to be mean to even video game characters. Ez was a very sickly child and was often bedridden. Throughout his life, his family never knew what exactly was causing him so much pain so the illness remained. When Malcolm died, Ez felt like he hadn’t even known his father, he had spent most of his time training with Bethany and Carver while he had been left to lie in agony. Being the oldest boy in the family, he was pleased to be the head of it and would work tirelessly to improve his strength so that he could walk without fainting. When Ez turned eighteen, he decided to do something about the sickness. He confronted a blood mage and forced him to cure him. The blood mage warned him that a price would need to be paid but Ez didn’t care and would do whatever it took to heal himself. The reverse spell cured Ez, but left him incredibly scarred. At the beginning of DA2, Ez realizes that the spell in itself was a curse, and took away the effects of his invisible illness that would eventually kill him, and instead replaced it with a painless grotesque life. His skin starts rotting off. To cover up the damage done to himself, he covers his face/hair in heavy makeup and powder. (Ez is a secret redhead I know it’s shocking lol) Ez is extremely vain and particular about how he looks and will not allow anyone to touch him out of fear of seeing under his painted mask. His resentment of mages causes him to lash out at Bethany. Carver’s death was even less meaningful to him than his father’s. For a majority of their relationship, Ez pressures Bethany to find a cure for his deformities. Bethany dies in the deep roads and Leandra’s death was almost therapeutic. A desire to erase his family and start over overcame him. The name “Hawke” belonged to him and only him. Power became very interesting to Ez, as he was powerless his entire life and he was willing to appeal to anyone who might give it to him. This includes the Arishock who he happily gave Isabela to. He worked as a smuggler for the first year in Kirkwall. Ez for the most part was never interested in romance or even friendship, just political alliances. But he ended up getting in a very unhealthy rivalmance with Anders. He never really cared for Anders in a romantic sense but enjoyed the attention he gave him. He and Anders never go beyond a few kisses since Ez just can’t stand to have anyone touch him. (Again I could write an essay on this relationship) Ez supported the Templars and ruled as Viscount. He had Anders executed (ya extra tragic for Anders again sorry lol). In my own canon, Ez gets corrupted with red lyrium in the final fight against the mages and is a brutal and ruthless ruler, so much so that a rebellion happens against him and he is driven out of Kirkwall. He immediately starts looking for the next source of power to appeal to. He eventually works for Corypheus and spies for him in Inquisition. My Inquisitor in that universe finds out he’s a traitor and leaves him in the fade. 

[ghostwise]

omg!! just found ur blog and I already love it!! ahhh!!

Thank you! I’m a little taken aback by the influx of activity today. You’re so kind!

[mahalzevran]

hoi so I saw the “give me a character” meme and the character I choose is: Solas/Cullen. I know they both have a lot of discourse and I wanna see what you think (I’m new !)

Oh boy, ok. I’m gonna put this under a read more so read at your own risk okey :)

Solas

How I feel about this character: I think he’s a pretty good and complex character. I have kind of a love/hate relationship with him bc I did romance him and I can relate to him in a lot of things. But at the same time he says a lot of shit lol.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Anyone but Cole and Sera

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Cole

My unpopular opinion about this character: I’ve seen people talk about his “gotcha!” with Dorian and Vivienne and him getting praised for it. But to me it’s really yikes because a white man telling poc about oppression? With Dorian, it’s mostly looking at it from a real world perspective. He’s an Indian-coded man and Solas has to talk to him about slavery? With Vivienne there’s more in world application. There’s colorism in Thedas and she’s lived in the Circle. So Solas really shouldn’t be lecturing her on oppression anyway. I guess it’s more of a problem with the writing but I’ve seen people praise Solas for it.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: They should’ve had him become more respectful about the Inquisitor’s culture over time, especially when you’re lavellan, cadash, or adaar. And him being regretful about destroying the world shouldn’t be based on your approval either. He spent at least a year with the Inquisition. He should be able to come to the conclusion himself that these people are real.

Cullen

How I feel about this character: I don’t like him lol

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Definitely not Amell/Surana and Alistair

My non-romantic OTP for this character: I think he’s pretty good friends with Cassandra right? They hold similar values

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don’t really have one? I don’t care for him much to really form and opinion that’s “unpopular” because the opinions I have of him are mostly in line with people that don’t like him. So here’s an opinion that’s less about him and moreso that concerns him. I think people shouldn’t be so quick to judge others that like him. I’ve seen people who like Cullen that don’t excuse his flaws if that makes sense idk. I also mean this in a general sense. Liking a problematic character isn’t intrinsically bad (I mean I like Solas and he wants to destroy the world so :3). I’m just so tired of everything at this point. It’s kinda deep but not that deep. It’s one of those times where “it’s just fiction” applies. Like I really don’t care for Cullen and I have friends who like him. So idk, discourse abt that seems pointless.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Better written redemption arc

[dalishious]

ok so this has been driving me bonkers but: Fenris as a Templar? Would he have to take lyrium? Would he be allowed bcc I know Templar’s usually are just human cis men. I don’t like the order at all, but isn’t Fenris religious? Do you think he’d be a good Templar? Idk, just a thought!! 💕

There are no official rules against non-humans joining the templars, it’s just that the racist system prevents it from actually happening.

I don’t think that Fenris would be a good templar, no, and the big reason being that the problem Fenris has with mages comes from severe trauma, and I think that it would be to the detriment of both himself and mages for him to be in that position. (Also, there’s only one (1) templar I can think of that I would consider to be good, and that’s Barris. And Evangline by the end of Asunder I guess, although for most of the book she wouldn’t be. Thrask would almost be on that list too if not for his racist comments about Feynriel.)

As for the lyrium, hmm, no, I don’t think he would. Because his abilities come from the lyrium branded on his skin, so if they do, why not the standard abilities Templars have?
