Ash Hawke, the protagonist of Dragon Age 2, lover of the Pirate Queen, Menace of the Docks, and all around terror of Kirkwall, belonging to @fade-and-loathing-in-thedas ! Man, this one was a journey, between ink spills and and inspiration rushes, this one was a real experience. I hope you guys love Ash as much as I do!

Behold my Sonic fankids!

Buckle up y'all I'm about to lore-drop

Dash the Hedgehog: Son of Sonic and Amy. He's a speedy, fun-loving kid with a big heart. Future hero of Mobius but for now is mostly having fun exploring with his dad and racing anyone he meets. Also has a hammer like Amy's, with which he can do cool tricks.

Mouse the Owl: Adopted daughter of Sonic and Amy. Found and brought home by Dash after her parents were killed by an Eggman scheme. She's really sweet and a bit shy, and is basically the equivalent of Tails for Dash. Best friends with Tikal.

Nova Prower: The girl that grew from Cosmo's seed. Raised by single dad Tails and is a great mechanic like him! Loves sunlight and nature and going on adventures with her Papa.

Ash the Cat: Son of Blaze and Silver and twin brother of Aura. As the crown prince chosen by the Sol Emeralds, he inherited Blaze's fire powers. He's very stoic and serious, taking his role as future king very seriously.

Aura the Hedgehog: Twin sister of Ash. Is far more spunky and playful, and tries to drag her brother out to do fun things instead of studying. Inherited Silver's telekinesis.

Knuckles the Bat-chidna, a.k.a. Knux: Firstborn son of Knuckles and Rouge. Relatively rare in having mixed species features rather than only taking after one. He's rather rebellious and doesn't want to take on the warrior lifestyle on Angel Island, preferring thievery.

Spear the Echidna: Second son of Knuckles and Rouge. Far more serious about his tribal heritage than his older brother, and because of this is next in line to take on the Guardianship of the Master Emerald. Devoted to the warriors lifestyle and protecting his family.

Jewel the Bat: Daughter of Knuckles and Rouge. Sweet and simple, well-trained in fighting but prefers not to. Is dedicated to finding all the secrets of Angel Island, taking care of its Chao population, and recording the history of the Echidna for future generations. Not named after Jewel the Beetle but they do become friends after realizing they share a name.

Hunter the Bat: Son of Knuckles and Rouge. Inherited both of his parents' treasure hunting tendencies and loves to explore. His wings grew in too small, making him the only member of his family who can't fly/glide, although he can hover for a short amount of time. That doesn't stop him from traveling all over the world! Honorary member of Team Kid Chaotix (the next generation of the Chaotix).

Tikal the Echidna: Youngest daughter of Knuckles and Rouge. Small and spunky! Is still a bit young for warrior training, but she's ready to go when she can! Loves animals and swimming and playing around Angel Island. Goddaughter of her namesake, and is able to interact with her and Chaos. Best friends with Mouse.

Night the Wolf: Son of Shadow and Whisper. Autistic and almost entirely non verbal. Is super powerful, with Shadow's abilities, but is very quiet, calm, and stoic. Because of his resting angry face, people think he's kind of grumpy like his dad, but he's actually pretty chill. Very close with his "cousin" Knux.

Maria the Hedgehog: Daughter of Shadow and Whisper. Fun, spunky, loud, and energetic. Basically has the energy and noise of the rest of the family combined. Loves to get into fights and Night constantly has to bail her out. Also has Shadow's abilities, especially running. Loves to run. Always has a different fun design on her T-shirt.

Mint the Bunny-dile: Daughter of Vector and Vanilla. Like Knux, is a rare mixed-species kid, although mostly crocodile. Is hard of hearing due to physical issues with the connection of rabbit ears with a crocodile head. Is very big and strong, sometimes not knowing her own strength. Sweet and a bit rough-and-tumble. Is a big proponent of body positivity due to being mixed-species as well as growing up around primarily mammal mobians who were a lot smaller than her at the same age.

Gale the Hawk: Daughter of Jet. Fast, cool, and a bit egotistical but ultimately good-hearted. Loves racing and pushing herself to learn new tricks and new types of racing. Like wearing the "retro" hand-me-downs from her Aunt Wave (okay actually I haven't decided if I ship Wave and Jet or see them as siblings so for now it's just "aunt")

Thanks for letting me ramble! Feel free to ask me about my babies 😁

Hawke is shorter than I remember...

I was going to put some headcanons here but meh I'm tired. Have a nice shot of Amaris before I head to bed.

"I'm your sister! Doesn't that mean anything to you?!"

"It means everything to me."

I am a touch proud of this. The original(bottom picture) is from when I was about 15-16 so these are about 10 years apart. I had so much fun with this and am so excited to see the difference in my art.

[droodlebug]

Ash is so cool. i like to imagine in my head that shes some kind of like. extension of falon'din that was saved from dying at a very young age. but she keeps evading death, sidestepping it since. always beside so many other people dying while she stands and watches and cant fix it. but she was meant to die so it will always follow her until she does. shes lived her entire life on borrowed time, and thats only made doubly so when she gets infected with the taint.

its tragic, but then shes sooo strong in return, out of spite. you practice hard to be the best you can before you die, thats what shes done. shes barely in her twenties and destroys the blight in record time while stumbling in a husband at the same time.

she taught herself how to do blood magic and is a staunch believer in it not being dangerous as long as you are strong enough to beat back the extra demon eyes that come with it and only use your own blood or that of someone willing to give it in a desperate situation. her and merill practiced it together growing up.

she uses a bow instead of a staff because she values practicality. she watched two best friends die. one was of her own hand after an action taken out of exhausted desperation. she gets older and forgoes armor at all, partly out of a semi-suicidal lack of care for herself and partly out of confidence that nobody can touch her. shes the queen of aoe and damage.

if someones a shithead about blood magic she just ignores that they exist, because why bother trying to talk sense into someone who wont listen from the start? she leaves to seheron with sten and refuses to be a higher ranking gray warden. shes had her share of being in charge and shes done with it. she wants to find a way to cure the blight so she can hang with her silly husband for longer than their timer allows. or at least to let him live a full life after shes gone.

she has a dog that she named after her patron god. when she isnt in armor shes the kind of person to hang around in like.. ethereal flowing dresses. she has no respect for authority and would much rather do the right thing as best she can within the limitations of the physical world.

shes bisexual. shes probably nonbinary but she doesnt have time to think about that. her eyesight sucks. um. i love her. thanks

Recommending The Amulet by RakShadow

Fenhawke shippers, look no further! I'm shipping the heck out of @rakshadow's Ash Hawke and Fenris. This is a sweet moment between them about a time when they were apart. Ash is so good for Fenris, I can't even! Read on AO3 -> I also read this as part of my commenting sprint for @justleaveacommentfest

[flashhwing]

i. feel like rambling about my hawkes. under a cut to spare y'all

so they're all pro-mage obviously because I can't uh. stomach a playthrough otherwise fjkdls but the way they are is different in a way that i think is interesting

Matt, my first Hawke, is a purple rogue who's pro-mage in a kinda. labrador retriever kinda way. he supports mages because so many people he loves are mages, why wouldn't he advocate for their freedom? there's not an argument in the world that could sway him because this belief isn't built on any sense of logic or right and wrong, it's built on love. when Anders asked him to distract Elthina he did so without question, and while the chantry boom scared the shit out of him of course he fights for the mages, and he trusts and supports Anders in everything

Oliver, my canon Hawke, is a red mage who's pro-mage in a selfish kinda way, but also in a "I don't trust any authority" kinda way. in the early game, this manifested as doing whatever the guard or templars asked of him, as a way to avoid suspicion. as time goes on, and especially due to Anders' influence, he starts to come off of that and by act 2 he's very openly, aggressively pro-mage. he is cross with Anders for lying to him and for refusing to divulge his plan, but he goes along with it anyway, and the most upsetting part of the chantry boom is realizing that Anders fully expected him to kill him, and why

(sidenote, Oliver's pro-templar actions in act 1 are a direct result of me wanting to get Carver to 100 friendship by the end of act 1. i did not succeed, but i got an interesting character out of it so y'know)

Ari, my current Hawke, is a blue warrior who's pro-mage because he has sat down and thought it through. he knows mages deserve freedom and equal rights and he will put his money where his mouth is -- to an extent. he doesn't support blood magic and he doesn't support abominations, and he knows that mages don't need the circle to prevent those because he had his father and bethany as examples. he's still early in act 1 so we'll see how his character progresses, but I know that he will romance Anders (and Isabela) and then, in the end, he will kill Anders, and he will see it as an act of mercy, the same as Aveline killing Wesley or Anders killing Karl

moving posts over from my oc sideblog 3.0

[fangsandfeels]

When I think of Calliper, I realize that I might really be getting my inspo from Ash Graven (Final Space) and Stork (Storm Hawks).

Ash just really helps with that general vibe of a girl who got affected by powers beyond comprehension, ran away from a fucked up situation, has issues connecting with people and using her powers, and really, really wants to belong as she is.

...But the general inspiration leans heavily towards Stork because he is such a great and unique character it's hard not to get inspired by him. Paranoid, pessimistic, and neurotic characters, who are in the good guy team and allowed to be brilliant, competent, and actually reasonable in their paranoia (instead of just being the comic relief) are quite rare. He was a real gem.

Of course, he and Calliper are still very different characters, but it would be a lie if I said I didn't think of him when imaging Calliper switching from "If I'm forced to make one more decision for the entire group, I'll have a heart attack"

...to "I made a decision for the entire group. It was probably a bad one. We're all gonna die"

...to "I made a decision to destroy everything you love because fuck you for sneering at me for my heritage/breaking beautiful things you didn't make for your amusement/hurting Wyll/hurting me and mine. Impending doom be damned."

[remotus11]

So i was going to get some water like yesterday... And i had the craziest thought

WHAT IF I MAKE MY FOE CHARACTERS GOTHS

I'm as far from goth culture as any other random person but here we are lmao

ACTUALLY GOTH HAWK IS TOO FUCKING SEXY WTF

Idk why i did this tho ^

So here are all the blordos whi got gothed

[arendaes]

Ok a lil bit of salt under the cut, plus some extras

Remember when Corypheus shows up and drops this absolute banger of a line:

and then turns around and proceeds to be the most underwhelming and boring villain ever? You had something here, Bioware, and you squandered it. It's like reading SJM all over again.

Anyways, In Your Heart Shall Burn is actually probably my favorite quest from the game. I find it genuinely fun and engaging. I wish the rest of the game lived up to the hype it set up.

Honest question: short undercut or long?

Eris Vanserra x Rhysand’s Sister! Reader/OC

“Lucien,” Eris growled, stalking over to his sobbing and heavily pregnant mate, his brother could only stand there awkwardly, in a fruitless attempt to soothe her.

“I swear I had no part in this!” The Emissary raised his hands in mock surrender as his sister in law continued to cry, unrelenting tears spilling down her pale cheeks.

Eris sighed, and whilst he wished she would stay inside like the Healers had recommended, he couldn’t deny her anything.

His only request was that his brother chaperone her should she feel restless, especially if he happened to be caught up in meetings he was unable to be in absence of.

Eris gently removed his overcoat and draped it over her shoulders, overly paranoid that she would catch a chill in her weakened state and ignored the way Lucien rolled his eyes at his brother’s worrying.

Lucien knew, beneath everything, the feared High Lord of Autumn was nothing but a softie. A mama’s boy who would do anything for his wife should she merely ask of it.

He was certain Eris would have surrendered even his own crown- the one he had spent centuries suffering for, if it meant she was happy.

“I can’t understand what she’s saying,” Lucien was almost just as panicked, knowing whatever was wrong he’d surely be blamed for it.

“Well, we both know how successful you are with the ladies,” Eris drawled and Lucien snarled at the reference to his own mate. “My work is done for the day, you may leave.”

Lucien bowed and sent one lasting gaze at the two of them, admittedly unnerved by her frantic state.

Until recently he had never seen her cry in the many years of knowing her, and whilst he would never admit it out loud, she had always been his favourite member of the Inner Circle.

“My love,” Eris soothed her by playing with her hair, she had found solace against his hard chest as she let out small gasps, taking comfort in his scent as he provided comforting waves of love down the bond. “Tell me, what is making you so upset, hmm?”

His words held no taunt as she sniffled, and he would never tell her that he found it rather endearing how she looked- so vulnerable with her cheeks aflame and violet eyes glossy.

“T-That hawk!” She whimpered, a shaky hand moving to point at the tree before them, and only he could’ve understood her choked out words as they were sobbed into him. “I-It pushed a p-poor baby b-bird out of i-its nest a-and-“ the next part was too horrific for her to say and she cried harder as Eris sighed, stroking the back of her neck.

Oh, for anyone to see her now.

The Crown Princess of the Night Court, feared magic wielder who helped slaughter many in the war and High Lady of Autumn, brought to tears- over a baby bird.

He supposed it had something to do with the little flame growing in her stomach.

“E-Eri I want you to kill it,” the soft tone of her voice betrayed its sentiment as he paused his ministrations for a moment, his eyebrow raised in amusement. “Make it p-pay for s-slaughtering that d-defenceless creature!”

He withheld a chuckle at the irony of her demand, pressing a light kiss to the crown of her head before adjusting their position so her back was flush against his front.

His chin grazed her scalp as he effortlessly flicked his hand, the unassuming hawk turning to ash in an instant as she watched in satisfaction.

No matter how silly, trivial or frivolous her demand, he would always comply.

“Better now my love?” He crooned as she became giddy, throwing her arms around his neck as he breathed in her scent- a sickly sweet smell of a youngling mixed with his own.

It brought a new possessiveness- pride within him to know she now carried his smell with her, a subtle hint of spice and ember imbedded in her natural twinge of jasmine.

He felt her heart soar as she tugged against his own through the bond, her soft cheek nuzzling against his rough hand which came to gently rub at her damp skin.

“I’ve missed you,” she mumbled, as he unwittingly melted at her words, thinking he might never get used to the love she had shown him- insisted that he deserved.

“You saw me this morning Bunny,” he teased as she pouted.

“That was hours ago!” She insisted guiding his calloused palm to her slightly protruding stomach. “I need you…We need you.”

He couldn’t help a genuine smile overtaking his wry smirk, feeling the life they created flicker beneath their joined hands.

“It seems our little ember agrees,” he mused and despite his biting fear of her upcoming labour, as everyone knew- Fae births were not only extremely rare, but horrifically dangerous, despite it all he was happy.

Despite what having a child would mean, a new threat to him he had no doubt people would take advantage of, he couldn’t help but feel at peace too.

At peace with himself. At peace with his mate and their unborn baby which would soon complete their little makeshift family.
