#shale x wynne

[milton-chamberlain]

✨When you are a giga-strong mountain of stone muscles crushing the heads of weak people, and your wife a diplomatic, intelligent mage who needs to be protected✨

[pisscrossiant]

Part FOUR of my Dragon Age Origins headcanons because It's my current hyperfixation 😋

Going strong with a part four 🙏🏻

//Warning slight NSFW themes

Shale and Wynne are married #oldladyyuri

Shale watches Wynne sleep to protect her

Wynne reads to Shale

Wynne and Shale are the younger party members adopted lesbian moms.

Wynne bake cookies for everyone.

Leliana teases Wynne about her relationship with Shale as before Wynne showed a sort of bitterness towards love.

"I thought you didn't think love was important? And now your married. How the turn tables." - Leliana

Zevran gets pegged

Morrigan doesn't like physical touch but she makes an acception for the Warden, she'll let them hug her when they need a hug, while it's awkward at first as she's never been hugged before she gets used to it.

Morrigan likes putting spiders in Alistairs pack, she'll do this with the other party members if she's mad at them though. She always does it to Alistair however.

The reason Wynne actually reconsiders the wardens relationship with their love interest(s) is because she fell in love with Shale and she realizes love is worth it (I'm pushing my Wynne x Shale agenda.)

Leliana loves to hug and hold hands with the other party members, while it can get annoying they don't tell her that and just let her hug them when she wants.

Alistair has a thing for old people

Zevran constantly puts snow down the party members shirts, he's gotten turned into a frog several times because he would put snow down Morrigan's shirt. Safe to say he doesn't do that to her anymore.

After Origins Sten actively writes to the warden, he updates them on how his life is 24/7

Oghren has gotten so drunk he's walked out of his tent in his underwear (or just completely naked😭)

Zevran pierced Alistair's ear while he was asleep,

Alistair slept through it too.

He just woke up and he had a earring

Leliana ties bows around Alistair's armor while he sleeps

He keeps the bows on too he says "it makes him feel pretty"

None of the party members have seen Sten sleep, you could stay up all night every night for a week and never once see him asleep.

This one's shorter then the others but I'm running out of ideas so they're gonna keep getting shorter 😭

This will probably be the last part for A WHILE

[ephenan]

I'm getting pulled in by the shale x wynne propaganda. I've never even thought of them as a thing before but it makes so much sense and feels right

[fsanyadarkpaw]

finished Origins, had a strong urge to draw my warden with her companions

wonder if I should finish somw of those in digital

[bastard-prince]

Grey wardens and heartbreak

Day 10: Adaia Would be Proud

(Leliana x Faelyn Tabris)

After being freed from his capture by Tevinter slavers, Cyrion Tabris allows his daughter to herd all of her new friends into their tiny apartment. He never expected to see his daughter alive again, let alone see her love again.

Written for the @loveofdragonage event!

[contrivedcoincidences6]

I can’t properly explain my disappointment when I started Awakening and my Warden Alistair was no where to be seen with no explanation. Where is my wife? Why did he leave me? I mean why even go through with the dark ritual if I can’t at least get a letter like with Leliana or Zev? 😭

[jackgoodfellow]

💖🌹ALISTAIR GOT YOU A ROSE!!!🌹💖

He even worked up the cajones to ask Morrigan to enchant it so it wouldn't decay! She was... surprisingly less mean about it than he thought she was gonna be. Guess she wants the Warden to be happy too! (Gave him one hell of a Shovel Talk though.)

Video description under the cut.

Video description:

A series of digital illustrations animating characters from the game dragon age origins, including the warden character, who in this case is a handsome chubby Dwarven man with face tattoos, short hair, and no beard. The audio for this video is the last 50 seconds of the song "Little Lion Man" by Mumford and Sons.

The warden stands in front of Alistair in front of a green forest. the warden is smiling casually, but Alistair is sweating and blushing, clearing his throat and hiding Something behind his back.

Alistair produces a large red rose from behind his back, Sheepishly offering it to the warden while looking nervously askance and blushing even harder with a queasy smile. The warden looks shocked; he also blushes hard.

Cut to a different angle of the two of them standing across from each other. The warden continues to blush and look silently stunned at Alistair, who laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his head with one hand and holding the rose to his chest with another, as though making a very weak joke. The hand behind his head slowly comes down as he smiles insecurely. He then holds the rose with both hands to his chest, frowning and looking away, then sweating as he glances back at the warden, then to the rose, then the Warden again. As he does, his blush spreads to his chest and neck and arms. The warden's eyes flick between alistair's face and the rose a couple times.

then, a close up shot of the warden's face in great detail. His eyes shine in Wonderment, and behind him, a starburst effect sparkles in a deep pink.

The close-up zooms in even closer as the warden breaks out into a huge grin, excited tears of joy in his bright eyes. The abstract background sparkles even more.

A reverse shot close-up of Alistair Looking down at the warden in relieved amazement and joy, with a similar sparkly pink background.

A medium shot at a profile showing the warden clasping Alistair's hands holding, which are still delicately holding the rose. The Warden is leaning towards Alistair, saying something happily and excitedly. a little heart sits between the two of them. Alistair's gaze is relieved, soft, and so full of love as he listens to the Warden talk. Both of them continue to blush.

As the song reaches its last chorus, the shot changes to show the Warden now holding the rose and looking surprised as the other members of their party appear behind Alistair, with Zevran and Leliana popping out from behind a tree, and Wynne popping up from a bush. Zevran gives the warden a smile a wink and a thumbs up. Leliana cheers with both fists in the air. Wynne looks delighted; she politely claps. Alistair looks Even more surprised than the warden, and his blush of embarrassment reaches his ears.

another angle change shows the warden and Alistair laughing off their embarrassment while holding both of their hands together lovingly. the warden has tucked the rose behind his left ear, which also sports a small gold hoop earring. behind them from this angle, Sten and Morrigan stand next to each other. Morrigan smiles smugly, one hand on her hip and the other palm up towards Sten. Sten the grudgingly deposits a gold coin in her fist. At the last moment, Shale shows up in the distant background, looking confused at the habits of humans.

the two lovers are then comically tackled to the ground by an enthusiastic war dog who just wants to be part of the excitement.

the scene fades to a different setting as the Songs instrumentals fade out And only the voices remain. Under a gorgeous starry sky With a half moon, the two lovers sit next to each other on a felled log in a deep blue grassy field. They are facing away from the camera and largely in silhouette. they are holding hands. then, the warden leans his head on Alistair's shoulder. alistair turns to hold the warden's face in his hands and look into his eyes. They kiss; a little heart appears over their heads, and the warden clutches Alistair's upper arms passionately, pulling him closer.

The video fades to black.

On International Family Day, we are celebrating the unique bond of 'found family' that is central to the world of Dragon Age.

Family isn't just about blood; it's the people who stand by your side and who you choose to surround yourself with. Our companions stand with us in the face of darkspawn and demons, share in our victories and struggles, and make Thedas feel like home.

What to Expect

A little bit fruity

As a big ol' fruit, I'm most likely to write my ships as gay or in some other way queer. So if you want something cishet (or want to explore a specific identity), you'll need to specify.

[pisscrossiant]

Changed my mind Wynne is a Greyromantic lesbian and shale is a Bambi lesbian and they're married 💕

Dragon Age: Origins characters headcanons

Alistair - Bi or Pan (could be either)

Leliana - Bisexual, Female Lean (canon)

Zevran - Bisexual, Female Lean (canon)

Morrigan - Lesbian

Sten - AroAce

Oghren - Straight

Wynne - Grey-Romantic

Shale - Asexual (she's a fucking golem)

I feel like they really should've made Alistair bi or pan because it just makes sense like?? There's no way that Twink is straight, even if he's never been in a relationship before it's clear that he would so fw men and women, like you can see it on HIS FACE.

Leliana and Zevran fit their canon of being bi pretty fucking well and honestly I couldn't see them having a different sexuality tbh.

Morrigan is a Lesbian. She was my gay awakening when I was 12, and honestly my P-ssy lover radar goes off when I see her. Like it goes off 24/7 when she's on screen. Also, she clearly shows a distaste for men, why they thought she'd be straight is beyond me but it's obvious she doesn't like men let alone like one enough to be in a relationship with them.

I genuinely could never see Sten dating or being married to someone, there is no way that man likes anyone in a romantic or sexual sense.

Oghren I mean he had a wife, and ofc that doesn't mean he's straight but like, the way he reacts to Zevran when he says "Oghren, if you wanted to bed me you could've just asked." Tells me there is no way that man would be into another man.

Pretty sure Wynne had a kid if I'm not mistaken, but judging how she reacts to the Warden being in a relationship with someone I feel like she shows bitterness towards love (I haven't really got too invested with her lore so I don't know much about her past) so I feel like she'd wouldn't be Aromantic but definitely Arospec.

SHALE IS A GOLEM SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THAT STUFF THERE WHY WOULD SHE HAVE SEX.

I'm probably gonna do a Da2 chars headcanons too but I haven't played the game all that much so I'm not aquatinted with all of the characters, I'm still in act 1 so I haven't gotten everyone yet.

Maker's breath

Pairing: Leliana x Fem reader

Description: You and Leliana fall in love with each other at first sight

Things felt different as you walked behind Alistair and Morrigan meeting Shale, Wynne, Zevran, Sten, and finally Leliana. You felt a true sense of companionship and family amongst the group as you meet each of them but something felt completely different as you lock eyes with leliana as you walk stopping a few inches in front of her as everyone else paid no attention but zevran did notice how you both looked at each other as you met everyone else, you both couldn't help but look at each other after talking and as time went on of you being in the group as a healer and warrior which she truly admired about you that not only you took time to care for sick people and healed the injured but also that you put your life on the line for others who couldn't fight for themselves making her fall for you much faster, you fell for her more seeing just how honest and sweet she was not just to you and the party of your friends but also to strangers and people you met even when some were rude to her she was still nice unless they kept being rude to her or were rude to any one in the party especially you even grabbing and throwing a drink in the face of a man who had grabbed and pulled your hair trying to grab amd take you to the alley outside which disgusted a lot of people in the bar especially herself and your shared friends who did teach him lesson later on when they ran into him the next day. Leliana feels her breath in her throat as she sees you in a beautiful lavender dress that complimented your body and brought out your facial features especially your eyes that were filled with so much emotion, kindness, and unconditional honesty which made her heart swell when she got the chance to look into them, "Maker's breath I am in love" you follow her as she walks to catch a breath grabbing and kissing her sweetly making you both melt in each other's embrace swept up in the tender moment only pulling away for air before bursting into quiet laughter and holding each other with your foreheads lightly connected with big smiles before walking back to camp hand in hand.

[fromashesweriseuphiddenones]

I have a few for Dragon Age

Starting with Origins:

Wynn: there are people into romancing older people.

Shale: closest thing we have to a robot/war forged. She is a golem.

Dragon Age 2:

Sebastian: okay he may be a man of the cloth, but they can fall in love, yes there are those in the church who can get married.

Inquisition:

Cullen: as a male you can't romance him and that sucks. I want to live out my O.C x Cullen.

Cole: a fade spirit or later a demon hell yeah.

rb and respond with your top unromanceable video game character/s that you think should have been romanceable
