dragon age inquisition advisors are so dear

Though darkness closes, I am shielded by flame. Andraste, guide me. Maker, take me to your side.

Happy Dragon Age Day!

If you don't already know, Dragon Age is my favorite game series, so today I wanted to make a special doll to reveal! Leliana is featured in all 3 games so I knew I'd be tackling her eventually! This is a prototype, so her look will change a little between now and her next make, but overall I'm pretty happy with how she came out!

And that means that now I have a complete set of Inquisition Advisors!

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @melisusthewee, thank you so much! :3

I like Looking hot Ending wars they cannot 🎶 (It's @ndostairlyrium's fault -also hi Ali you're tagged) (it's a cit, if you know the musical let me kiss you on the forehead)

Going on with DadWolf. I like flashbacks, sue me.

Aisling getting kidnapped by all kinds of Hawkes, this time it's Raina. I tried to colour an old sketch. Still not convinced, but they're having fun.

Art nouveau thing that's kind of a secret for now.

Some writing from Monster Fic under the cut, I'm slowly progressing with all the fics.

Tagging: Ali as above, @shivunin @rowanisawriter @zenstrike @salsedinepicta (if you have something!) @scribbledquillz @layalu @daggerbean @rosella-writes (of course ignore the tag if you mind it!)

Dear Aisling, I’m sorry about the Herald. I think no one understood, here, how much it really upset you. I had no idea it was so bad, for once. I will stop it, forgive me if I didn’t really listen. I’m not upset because you’re down there and just working through mails and reports. I am not, really, nor is Leliana, nor is Cullen (even if he’s grumpier than usual). The workload is higher without your physical presence, yes… But I get that the Temple is important. And we did ask a lot of you. I’m not telling you you’re stupid, you’re not. But it would be a little difficult to replace you, particularly because Corypheus is looking for you… I don’t know what to say, Aisling. It’s… It’s late to step back, I think. Just that. I am sorry. I understand the need to throw everything in the gutter, but it is really not a good moment. But you’re not Yvette and I know you don’t need me scolding you. Forgive me. How are you, for real? Beside the dress -it would be nice to know, but please don’t take it as it’s my main goal in writing you! Life here it’s chaotic, but nice. I’m still not really used to the forest and its rhythm, and I do hate how many insects there are. I saw a moth the other day which was… The colour was pretty, but it was the hugest moth I’ve seen. I don’t wish to see another one ever again. But! It’s nice to fall asleep cradled by the sounds of the crickets and the parrots. It reminds me of when I was a child, in our family’s country house. My room had the lightest white curtains who would float in the wind, and I thought they looked like clouds. I miss those times. And swimming in the sea. Have you ever swam in the sea? I don’t remember if I ever asked you. Maybe when this is all over we could all go by the sea and relax. That’s a cute drawing! Is it a pheasant? A hug back, Josephine

(in the intention of the original artist, it was one of the parrots in the Arbor Wilds)

what the dragon age companions order at a London pub

inspired by @bogunicorn

in no particular order

Alistair drinks cask ale. He's annoying about it, too - if Doom Bar is off, he won't order anything until it's back on.

Morrigan drinks Woodford Reserve, neat. She won't drink any other whiskey. If, for some ungodly reason, the pub does not have any Woodford Reserve, she drinks cranberry juice because it looks vaguely like blood.

Cullen drinks basic lager that's essentially fermented piss. We're talking Peroni, we're talking Amstel. He's always very apologetic about his taste in beer.

Dorian drinks Bailey's, because it's sweet and milky and he likes that.

Sebastian drinks prosecco, because one of them had to, and he's a prince, ergo a fancy bitch.

Josephine drinks pornstar martinis and can drink everyone under the table.

Bull also drinks pornstar martinis and has tried (and failed) to drink Josephine under the table.

Zevran drinks gin and lemonade. Or vodka lemonade. He's not fussy.

Isabela drinks Guinness because she likes the taste, and tbh that's so valid of her.

Shale doesn't drink. She's the designated driver/person who gets everyone home.

Fenris drinks red wine because he can't seem to wrap his head around any other form of alcohol.

Aveline drinks lager shandies (a shandy is half lemonade, half beer).

Solas drinks Japanese whiskey on the rocks and acts superior to people who drink Scotch.

Vivienne drinks champagne. Not prosecco, the real thing.

Varric drinks IPAs. Usually a local one if the pub has it, but otherwise whatever's on tap. In that case, he prefers Beavertown Neck Oil.

Leliana drinks rum and coke, but never Malibu. She prefers dark rums, but if there aren't any of those on offer, she'll go for a spiced rum.

Oghren drinks cask ale, and isn't picky about which one. He's just happy to be here.

Sten drinks tap water with a single cube of ice.

Loghain drinks Hendricks and tonic. A lot of the time, the pub won't have cucumber slices for the garnish; he always complains about that.

Wynne drinks Aperol spritzes and always comments on how they "taste like summer."

Blackwall drinks alcohol free beer because he's sober but he hates feeling left out.

Merrill drinks mojitos and drinks almost everyone under the table.

Bethany Hawke drinks white wine spritzers.

Carver Hawke also drinks white wine spritzers.

Anders drinks cider and is upset if there isn't one on tap (there almost always is).

Cassandra drinks rose with ice.

Cole drinks a different thing every time. He's infinitely curious.

Sera drinks vodka soda, sometimes with lime, sometimes without.

Inverted color schemes of the advisors before Veilguard comes out tomorrow.

Cullen! Just a couple of rough sketches of our favourite ramen noodle haired commander.

A Spot of Tea, part 2

Read Part One

Josephine is put out when her fellow advisors skip their weekly tea party interlude again. Perhaps if they had been there, she would not have fallen quite so ill. On ao3 here :) 

[higheverweave]

*Pulls up chair* here is the deal

I don’t think the advisor companion line up is going to be as clear cut as it has been

We have the fewest number of *New.* companions this time round… which would make sense if it is because you have to create like a roster who’s who line up of characters to kick elven god ass

Also this is going to depend on if this is the final game in the dragon age series as some have been saying or not

Our Inquisitor whether you like it or not I think will probably join really early on for a number of reasons. The biggest one being other than the elven gods

The main reason being other than the elven gods who is the closest Mortal to that kind of status? Maybe the one character who is literally considered a prophet (Like Andraste was considered a prophet at first.)

That and companions from each of the old games are going to have skills and input we need depending on origin choices and choices in game (Which might also explain more of why the game took as long as it did to make.)

Here are my thoughts:

•Varric for obvious reasons

•Solas for obvious reasons

•Mythaligan?

Those are the starters for the advisor line up.

The Recruited Advisors Im betting are as follows

•Lavellan

•Dorian His knowledge of Tevinter expertise on Magic and understanding of Necromancy are all going to be extremely useful to a protag from any origin

•Maevaris (If you don’t know her look her up.)

Maevaris will more than likely also have a big part given her alliances with Dorian,the Inquisitor, Alistair,and Varric. Her father’s death is a bit of lore that would raise the stakes and risk in the imperium. She also is brilliant at magic,diplomacy and political navigation.

Here me out on these:

•Merrill other than an elven Lavellan which mortal would have the deepest connection to the elven lore and gods as well as ways we have seen to cleanse blighted objects. Also her pro blood-magic views would offer one hell of a contrast to Solas’s. As well as Blood Magic may not be an option in terms or cleansing and curing blighted.

•Fenris I think could play a big part not for the reasons you think but for the following reasons. One Fenris is the elf with the closest thing towards ancient Vallaslin seeing how Ghilhanain and Elgarnan interact with that could be very interesting

That and Fenris had lyrium literally infused into his body whatever is going on with the waking of the sentinels and the way lyrium already plays a key part (Lyrium dagger, Lyrium to boost magic, Lyrium as ancient Vallaslin, the way Magic is much more prevalent and we are in Tevinter he is going to want to free slaves we have seen as much in the comics

Also Fen like Fen -Harel

His name means little wolf and the dynamic between him Solas the gods and Tevinter is too rich to just ignore.

•Anders Anders is going to have invaluable information that can help Lucanis sure but also Anders experience with spirits and the fade will prove needed in a world where the veil is becoming thinner and thinner and demons are becoming more paramount

•Miriam with her connections to Tevinter, her past as somebody enslaved ,her expertise on powerful relics and the fact she is an elf that would have to recon with the Gods being real and being slaver blight causing dicks

For the expansion of Dwarven lore my bets are on the following characters returning in some capacity as they have the biggest stakes in Dwarves getting magic it would just be a little weird if they weren’t in it.

•Dagna

•Sandal

Origin and choice specific Cameos

•Grey Warden Alistair

•Grey Warden Blackwall

•Carver/Bethany (Either mentioned or cameo.)

Antivan Crows:

•Zevran Given his rouge status and efforts to reform the crows as somebody from an ex Talon house he may have just the answers Lucanis and the others need to balance the traditions of the crows with a more ethical and respectful approach

Add onto that Zevran is elvish and will have to recon with the effects of wait hold up the gods are real and did what?as well as you are crows 👁️👄👁️

•Josephine if The De Riva’s are high up in status they would more than likely know her if not Catterina Lucanis and the crows certainly will

Lords of fortune:

•Isabella (She is kind of our only in game character tie to lords of fortune at the moment would be kinda weird if she didn’t show up with that origin.)

Mournwatch:

•Cassandra- We don’t have many if any direct ties to mourn watch but we do have ties to the Pentaghasts who would be pretty high up in Nevarra and mourn watch society.

That and it is likely Cassandra will show up in the capacity of Divine Victoria if you chose that.

There are more but it is first thing in the morning for me will discuss later

so do we think the advisor lineup is solas/ morrigan/ varric/ inquisitor this time around, or

[ndostairlyrium]

I think it would be rad if they met again under better circumstances <3 but I'm sure they have reunions yearly somewhere different every time to play canasta and gossip

[marshsano]

Inquisitor Taegan and his lovely advisors (he does not listen to them at all.)
