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

I keep seeing claims of Neve criticism and alleged complaints about her appearance and voice and all I have to say is they're wrong.
#mrs neve gallus... bc im marrying her thank you#personal q#im going to act like im not judgemental woth yassification mods come out but believe you me I'll be judging inside#also her voice is hot skill issue if you dont like husky voices. and the emotion and clear restraint you can hear in her voice???#shes a subverted noir detective mage who cares about the poor and her neighborhood and is afraid to rely on others etc etc Hot#also I didn't catch it before... but Varric refers to Rook as their expert on Trouble...#and then Neves nickname for Rook is a sort of call back technically...#anyway. i love her#and how protective she is of Rook even when she's struggling to trust#and her being gentle with Bell even when shes upset and hurting#ughduhdh neveeee#her smirks and crooked grins??? I'm dead#i have so many screenshots bc of her mouth animations oop

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

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

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

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

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
