i made some oc chart! after all this years I drew them all yay xD tbh most of them are dragon age ocs... but i moved them to modern au
#myart#my ocs#i have to draw more of my ocs..#but they are the main children#tbh all of my ocs are realted to each other in some kind of way#you know this person know this person and etc#i like creating relationships because this can give depth to your ocs#dragon age ocs#at this point i'm thinking about creating for them a whole separated world and disconnect them from dragon age#but i woudl miss other characters from the game#like varric and etc

let me be clear i like veilguard but it does suck that no one disapproves anymore outside of like. three choices. i want to be fighting for my life earning approval back again someone has GOT to hate my ass. i should be careful about party composition and companion reactions again. i miss tactically taking fenris out of the party before i'm nice to merrill like those were the days
#please omg can someone hate my ass . not really. but in previous games it sometimes did feel like i was earning approval back#like a. 'even when we fight i still love you. don't forget that' way . i wanted some uphill battle and dav IS super sanitised#the difference is more staggering to old players than new ones. i think dav plays rly well for someone who doesnt know the franchise#but i keep asking questions like 'should the dalish not be more worried about solas/etc' 'the crows r not this nice'#'why wouldnt isabela ask about varric' 'there should probably be more fantasy racism here'#of course these r the devs who were slandering zevran weeks before release. however its also just. man.#I AM ENJOYING THE GAME THOUGH. just wish it had a bit (a lot) more relevance and respect to what its built up in the prev games#dragon age#dav spoilers#veilguard spoilers#dav#txt#like for example i think one of my favorite small writing moments is cass asking about the inquisitor's family in dai#where she approves if you are also estranged but disapproves if you say you want to go back#because for a split second she does not just see a so called 'herald' that she's forced to work with#it's someone just like her who never got along w their family and despite herself she likes the inquisitor more for it#or it's someone who couldn't be less like her and her dislike and initial mistrust becomes more certain#it just. there's is an amount of depth lost when vg tries this hard to make rook be loved as a default

also. tbh. a little disappointed it seems like taash is Also going to be from the qun, or at least a very recent defect. i was hoping we’d get to see more vashoth characters
#at this point it feels like a concept they made up for adaar/whatever qunari pcs for this one#this is something i’ve noticed recently where it’s like. nonhuman cultures feel like they’re being. what’s the word#reducing them all down to one culture#seeing this especially with elves bc we haven’t really spent time in an alienage since tabris#arianni and merrill are both dalish transplants. but alienages have their own culture#there’s elves whose ancestors were never in the dales. there’s elves who lived in the dales who never joined the dalish#but we don’t really get a whole lot about that#like. it’s very cool to have two dalish companions but i’m a little disappointed they’re the only elven companions yk#god. i could write a whole other post about elves#seeing this a little bit with dwarves too bc in harding’s v&v episode she brought up the stone a bunch#which i’ve already mentioned. could be an insight into surfacer culture that hasn’t assimilated into the chantry#or it could just be that they went ‘uhhh dwarf so they’re all the same’#i’m of two minds about varric’s beard for the same reason bc it was an intentional choice to have him be clean shaven#and maybe he’s gone through some offscreen character development. or it could be this again#it seems like a similar thing that happens to characters of color like#if they’re not white it’s either them or their parents who came from rivain/antiva/tevinter (thinking vivienne duncan isabela etc)#everyone needs an excuse for why they are where they are. except for white humans bc that doesn’t NEED an explanation. is how it comes acros#mine#taash

fic where varric becomes obsessed with fade. but like, so much.
#if nadia can hunt for her boyfriend varric should be allowed to do the same.#everyone's worried for varric.#and varric's like. the same varric from outside.#like he knows how to act. but everyone knows he spends far too much on reading books about it. puts a lot of money on it etc#he never says out loud if he believes he can manage it. bc everyone tries to discourage him.#he still laughs and smiles. but there's something about him that's wrong.#hurting myself.#all i want from dav is the knowledge that varric still cares for hawke. nothing else.#oh and merrill is the only one helping him#everyone's also worried about demons. because varric is willing to go far. but that's also in a way that's like#those moments in da2 where you come to talk with a character and they're talking with someone else#brief bit of anders calmly but worriedly advising varric against not dabbling in these stuff#varric's like it's fine. don't worry about me#maybe merrill puts herself in danger trying to help.#varric tethras#da2#varric x hawke#dai#dragon age

so/las stannies found my post
#genuinely no offense but like.... i don't care about any rationalization that turns so/las into the true hero and savior of thedas#he'll like individual members of other races like the inquisitor iron bull varric etc#while still condemning them as simple and stupid as a whole#he doesn't suddenly respect dwarves because of varric#he sees varric as not like other dwarves#he doesn't suddenly respect qunari if bull leaves the qun#he just sees bull as uniquely enlightened#he will always paint the inquisitor as not like others of their race regardless of what you've done in the balcony scene#he uses his rationalization of seeing others as inherently inferior (tranquil stupid magicless witless flawed in any way he doesn't like)#to justify genociding them en masse to restore the world to what HE thinks it should be#i like the egg but y'all starting to make me resent him#always trying to paint him in a positive heroic light like.... what????#don't reblog this if you're just gonna defend him btw argue with the wall about it

Clearly my stamina for video games has waned DRAMATICALLY bc ive barely managed to clock 2 hours of inquisition across 2 days.
And its not like im fatigued by the gameplay or anything yet like i just got the fucking title screen lol. Like this is not a hinterlands bear moment or a fallow mire situation yet
#dragon age#my inqy is great#its in my oh so sad worldstate#basically the warden (tabris) sacrificed herself bc Alistair was to be king. she basically put him on the throne bc he swore to disolve the#alienages. and so she was like this is a future for elves etc. and she did everything she could to make the world better#her story often spared ppl the brutal details of messy fates and she always tried to fix things while staying focused on her goal#and then morrigans ritual happened and she was like. no fucking way. that sounds like a loophole for some shitfuckery#so she sacrificed herself in alistairs place but then bc he was the only warden left in fereldan he abdicated#bc he saw restoring the wardens as more important. he did make anora swear to fix the plight of elves. but ultimately nothing happened#its then my hc that alistair was the warden in awakening#and poor zevran was left grieving the warden. they got like. unofficially married before her death#which i headcanon as having taken weeks to happen as she slowly succumbed to the archdemon soul bc i love angst#and anyway then my hawke was playful and charming and desired to save whoever she could but everyone kept dying around her#just the most tragic and bloody playthrough#and in her story she never found love. except. that was varric hiding the fact that they were together#she also faked ander's death after the chantry thing#also she was a blood mage bc thats dope as fuck to me. and i also kinda hc that anders dipped into blood magic too#anyway. so my inq is gonna be the same with like. trying her hardest but not being the perfect diplomat bc people cant look past her being#an elf. and a mage.#and also im hc'ing that solas lowkey has a thing for her but shes like. dude#im so gay wtf#and then talking shit with dorian about it

the fear demon was wrong for putting varric on the jumbotron like this... if it were me i'd be volunteering to get left behind
#dragon age inquisition#crazy everyone else is like gods not real. you're a failure. etc.#dont care about varric/hawke except for when its funny and/or hurtful. which is literally all the time

I don't think this is completely in character cause I don't really see chevalier becoming "friends" with anyone but I do love headcanoning him and my mc becoming somewhat close over a love of books and military history and everyone thinking it's really weird when we like read together or talk books together cause what do you mean you actually like hanging out with chev??
#ikemen prince#ikepri#like specifically when youre not romancing him#and he kinda respects my mcs will to face problems/not run etc#and yeah im not a huge chev stan dont know whole lot about his character but does feel ooc to me#and idc!!!#alsosorry to these games but im not a full-on pacifist like they always put you out to be so ill fucking go ape on someone trying to abduct#me or whatever even if they just give me a whap on my head and knock me out#or theres a one-off line in dragon age 2 where varric mentions a purple hawke was charismatic enough to literally persuade anyone#tells a story of how some guys tried to rob hawke when she was home and next thing varric knew hawke had convinced them to play cards with#them#so leaning into the full pacifist of these dating sims sometimes i imagine my char being like that where can just convince almost anyone of#changing their allegience or whatever

that stupid comicbook.com article and also fan response in general to the companion romance situation annoys me so bad for the sole reason that everyone acts like the only people in the game are the pc and playable companions
#mine#dragon age#so many people use dorian as justification and like. you know we could have non romanceable characters who are gay#where’s the people using cassandra as evidence for why this is good actually#‘it limits the types of stories you can tell’ with THOSE specific characters. however there are probably others#i’ll admit i thought it was bizarre that they made every companion romanceable. i hate to make this comparison bc i know everyone has been#saying they’re similar when they’re really not. but that specifically feels like some baldurs gate shit#but like. think of leliana in inquisition. joker in mass effect. etc. characters whose story develops even if they’re not going on missions#it’s just this weird video game conception that sexuality only exists for romanceable characters#(or i should say. people assume every NPC is heterosexual by default. until proven otherwise by a romance arc)#but like. everyone uses the dorian example. his conflict with his homophobic father happens regardless of whether you romance him#it’s not tied to the fact that he’s romanceable. y’all just see sexuality as only relevant when you personally can or cannot smash#idk if the lighthouse will be populated now that we know it’s in the fade but theoretically we’ll have allies#and some of those allies. may identify as something other than cishet#or other than pansexual if that’s the problem but grow up. pansexual characters are not cheap and not lesser#playersexuality is a concept so gamer bros can pretend their companions are straight#because if they don’t interact with dorian and sera they can pretend everyone is straight in this game#here’s the thing like. i can understand the disappointment that every character is romanceable bc. sigh. gaider does make a good point#but that’s not what’s going on here. people are upset the companions are explicitly pan and the game is Woke#and they might try to spin it as ‘b but what about dorian’s arc in a game like this’ when once again#there may be other characters. who are not companions. who we spend time with#varric and solas are literally in all of the stuff we’ve and neither of them are playable#come ON

guys in dragon age like a perfect 50/50 split on either absolutely unfuckable or like the most sexful men in gaming which i mean. the contrast is funny on its own. but its crazy how the fans have always always picked guys from the first category to be Thee Horniest for

about the sexy treatment the hawke and co gets... i think it reflects on their combat. i can't explain but the animations and skills really give me We are so cool btw. And Sexy. like even in da2 camera, it resembles a Cool Fight Scene from a fantasy movie where characters will banter, do acrobatics etc.
#varric describing every little cool move to cassandra#cass: that's NOT possible#varric: we're just THAT sexy#not necessarily but it reminds me of lotr scenes. like with the competition etc#have i also said i like da2 dialogue. in and out of combat#it's sooo much more alive#da2#dragon age 2

Happy healing post-DA:I things for my Hawke and company
because if anyone ever deserved that soft epilogue it's these guys
Hawke giving Merrill a griffon feather from Weisshaupt
Hawke getting a new mabari puppy (maybe also kittens? can we work kittens into this as well?). Hawke and companions playing with and petting said puppy. said puppy falling asleep in people's laps. it dozes off on fenris' head once and he just lies there and lets it with great equanimity until it wakes again. varric and isabela try to teach it wicked grace. it's better at it than anders was.
Bethany can live at home now ;_______; the last of the Hawke family finally getting to actually live in their ancestral home together, after all their hopes and hard work in act one ;_________________________________; she could get married if she wanted to, she could have kids, she could have whatever part of a 'normal life' she feared she never would and her magic, not having to hide anymore ;__________________________________________; (a big thank u to leliana the murderpope my best homie <3)
Bethany bringing some of the apprentices she's taken under her wing and Merrill bringing some of the alienage kids who're in extra tricky circumstances, and the big empty house is not so empty anymore
Hawke training Bethany's apprentices and Merrill's wards in physical combat -- "My father always said that the real trick of magic is knowing when not to use it. Doesn't mean you can't throw a punch about it tho". the kids sometimes gang up on him when they're playfighting and bethany looks on like :') because he pretends to be vanquished & defeated, alas proud warriors your strength combined is too great, in exactly the same way he did with her and carver when they were little
Fenris and Hawke friendly sparring! Isabela watches while drinking rum.
Hawke hanging around the Viscount's office, pretending to be there just to make fun of Varric (and annoy Aveline let's not forget) but actually helping out unceasingly. don't tell anyone tho he has a reputation to uphold as a rich idiot with no day job even though he's been doing every fucking job in kirkwall for like a decade now, ssssh he has to feel like he's still fooling someone
First Wintersend party at the Hawke estate where most of the gang is together again. (My canon always has Hawke send Anders away at the end of DA2 and sometimes there's a romance involved for double heartbreak too so y'know. bittersweet there but at least the rest of the family gets to be together again.) Varric and Hawke mutually pretend they don't notice the other one getting teary-eyed during the dinner because sometimes that's what friendship is
kirkwall book club? kirkwall book club. fenris hasn't gotten to read a lot of books yet, so it sort of starts as people giving him recs, evolves to a covert war among the gang to get their fave books/series read first, and then it keeps escalating from there until they're all fully in it. isabela frequently derails it into friendfiction night.
what if merrill got to do some gardening. huh. what about that. I just think that would be nice.
varric writing some black fox stories just because he knows hawke likes them ;__; (you find the black fox codex entry in DA2 in Hawke's mansion and one of the DLC outfits you can get for them is said to have belonged to him as well, so I like to think Hawke has a weak spot for that Robin Hood/Zoro-esque thing deep down lol it would explain a lot about his life)
just varric and hawke hanging out honestly. varric writing while hawke lounges around in his room. every time he has to name a character or something and gets stuck he throws out the basic concept and hawke provides a name without missing a beat or indeed looking up from whatever he's doing. it's always brilliant or awful or brilliantly awful. varric does his shitty little he he he laugh and/or offers hawke his hand in marriage yet again and goes back to writing. all is right in the world, if only just for a while.
#my boy finally dodgeroll no hit run-ed his way out of main characterhood#and god good for him he gets to be with his family again#dragon age is one of those things I have so many feelings about I genuinely find it hard to talk about sometimes haha#unhappy that I am I cannot heave my heart into my mouth etc.#my chest just feels like an unending explosion in the fireworks factory#and all my words too clumsy and inadequate to let it out. alas#dragon age#dragon age 2#on second thought let's not go to kirkwall; it is a silly place#hawke#I'm so desolate at having finished it again I just. never want that game to end. I want to see all of the rest of their lives.#I want to buy groceries with them and have a quest of varric pretending to do his taxes#solas fuck off you can't end the world. hawke and his family is in there.
