Finally got around to making an outfit sheet of my Hero of Ferelden, Warden Linus Tabris! Plus the party that carried him through the game (including love interest Leliana <3)

Bonus: Linus looking good over the years

happy Friday!! because I think it would be hilarious, Shale & Wynne for "stealing the other person's clothes"?

i like the way your brain works because a) Wynne's clothing is not built for Shale and b) Shale's clothing is crystals. silliness under the cut (~670 words). Shale uses It/Its pronouns here. @dadrunkwriting

i also highly recommend going back and reading shales dialogue because its so funny. one of the things i really liked from the da:o epilogue is wynne and shale going to tevinter, so glad someone else invited me to write about it :D

The flesh creatures are strange. They cover so much of their squishy bits because some are more destructible than others. Those weird creatures should simply embed crystals in their skin as Shale did. Clearly It was superior, as the crystals were pleasing to the eye and not flabby. Purple was also a nice colour.

But if all the meaty animals wore something to cover their skin, surely there had to be something to the practice? While almost every soft being had little purpose or sense, if the warden did it too... Maybe they had purpose? If Shale had coverings, the birds would not have been able to drop their vile, icky shit on It. They would then be on the thin protective layer.

The soft things were also quite particular about their bird defenders. When speaking to the Sister, it mentioned that footwear should have a nice colour. Clearly the Sister's were brown from all the mud, so It didn't understand why colour was important. Red would be perfect for when the squishy people had their liquid evacuated from their bodies. Keep it the same colour as their liquid.

So why was It feeling the need to try on those clothes? Incredibly simple to put them on. The elder mage must have some for It to borrow. Just take them out of the tent and put them on Its stony limbs. Much like the people of Honnleath did during their Winter Celebration and the Harvest Festival. It truly sounded less and less appealing. But It had to know.

During the day, when the elder mage, painted elf, warden, and the annoying one were out not advancing the righteous cause of pigeon extermination, Shale made Its move. The perfect time to plunder the elder mage's things. Loose fabric. These could go around the arms. The neck.

Oh no. Now It was stuck. Too much fabric. This was not good. It could hear the swamp witch cackling. Even the Qunari was laughing. At least the painted elf wasn't here. That would be much more embarrassing. Or the annoying Gray Warden.

After a bit of waddling around, Shale eventually called out, "Qunari, you will help me." The most respectable flesh creature helped It out of the clothes It had donned. The clothes were nice. They were not made for Shale.

Wynne knew she was missing some robes she brought. A green set. Her senior enchanter robes. Two other sets the Warden gifted her. Her yellow pair, another green set, and black pair were missing. Something had happened to her things.

She wagered the two wardens had something to do with this. They usually caused all measures of trouble. For the day ahead, one of the gifted pairs should do nicely. As she exited the tent, she saw that Shale had actually neared the campfire and was surrounded by their chattering friends.

"Has anyone seen my robes? I've had a few pairs go missing," Wynne asked. The group broke out in more laughter and broke apart enough for the mage to see her two missing robes on Shale's arms. She could scarcely stifle her laughter.

"I... Should apologize to the elder mage. However, neither the Qunari or I could remove them," Shale explained, looking as embarrassed as It could with a face made of stone. "I will endeavour to return them as soon as I can remove them."

Wynne covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, it's quite alright. I needed to replace those sets anyway." Strictly speaking, those two sets of robes were just fine after twenty or so years of consistent care. However, spending time with this group made her realise that her robe fashion was completely out of touch. Those would have been the first to go when she bought new ones.

Shale held out something in the palm of Its stony hands. "In exchange," It explained. In Its palm was a set of earrings, each with a purple crystal. Wynne smiled and put them in her ears, before getting ready for the day ahead.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a bar with your friends like they have in those TV shows?

This was one of my art pieces for Dragon Age Create-a-Thon 2024 and I had so much fun making it!

[dailydadoodles]

he's so silly sometimes

[catebees]

I'm shook no one has requested Shale with their Uncrushable Pigeon yet!!! I love her sm!!!

Did you know that the pigeon population has taken a nose dive in Ferelden?

[primarch-victus]

I'm doing a trilogy replay in honour of all the Veilguard news, and truly, TRULY, no one is doing it like Shale. Underrated ICON, the best character in these games, argue with the wall. This might be the funniest scene this series has ever given us and not a word uttered.
