I still exist! Kinda! Here’s ya boi. First time I touched a tablet in over a year so ofc I had to draw Thelrand. <3

@saphyremelodies ‘s Dalish hunk, Thelrand c:

[maiden-of-wolves]

❤ for thelrand quth any oc of your choice! (Doesn't have to be purely a dragon age oc)

Ooh! Thank you! I’m so excited to see you jump on this!(Love Thelrand’s voice claim, btw – easy listening and so much potential; no need to reinforce how ‘interesting’ his face claim is. Rawr…! :3)

This is gonna be kinda long, so I’m putting it under the cut to spare you if you’re on mobile.

I’m actually surprised who first came to mind – Idrilla Tabris. I’d kinda pegged her as an only Zev kinda gal, but Thelrand is… difficult to resist.

                    ULTIMATE SHIP MEME - Thelrand ❤ IdrillaAffectionate:Holding hands | Cheek kisses | Hugs from behind | Cuddling | Hand kiss | PDA | Spooning | Shared baths | Whispers | Affectionate texts | Caressing | Stroke hair | No displays of affectionSex:Shower sex | Wall sex | Neck bites | Oral | Morning sex | Drunk sex | Public sex | Backseat of car | BDSM | No sexDates:Picnic | Cinema | Restaurant | Sports game | Hike | Coffee | Museum | Club | Bar | Beach | No datesWould my character…Marry them? Yes | No Have sex on the first date? Yes | No Confess their attraction first? Yes | No Have children/adopt? Yes | NoDie for your character? Yes | No Cheat on your character? Yes | No Lie to them? Yes | No Cuddle after sex? Yes | No

Since I didn’t want to mess up the main setup of the meme, here’s the notes I wanted to put in, in order:

[long hair on guys – huge thing for Idrilla, so… he’d have to get used to her wanting to touch it a lot. Braiding, brushing, touching… :3]

[I feel like he’d be the one to take her out to a bar &/ club and she wouldn’t want to at first but he’d make it fun]

[I wish I could say maybe for the sex on the first date thing– because it really depends on her emotional state. xD She’s prone to thank-you-for-my-life sex, so if something went really wrong, things could go that way fairly quickly. xDDD]

[you almost have to pry that out of her like a bad tooth– but she’s really obvious if she likes someone. Does things for them, gets them gifts, ‘keeps an eye out for them’ etc. She just can’t spit it out in words]

[she’d LOVE to have kids, but that would be up to Thelrand in the end]

Misc:She would be enamored with his vallaslin and want to learn as much about elven/Dalish culture as she could. She wouldn’t bother him if he didn’t want to show her/teach her, but she’d learn it elsewhere so she could feel closer to him and his people.

She’s also a chill person almost exclusively, so she’d be a good rock for Thelrand (unless something legitimately terrible happens to her or someone she cares about – in which case she loses touch with her empathy and needs to be held back if you don’t want the cause of the pain ‘dealt with’ permanently).

Plus, she could be an interesting sparring partner for him, being very much a rogue. She could help him better defend against that kind of combat, and he return the favor. It’d form part of a solid friendship, I think, to start with.

I also think it’d be a really cool character arc for her to be her normal ‘no-I-must-hide-my-ears’ self out of habit but everything else is very much her uniqueness and he just calls her out about her embarrassment over her heritage.

I also think he and Venna would have been an interesting combo too. (She’s canonically with The Iron Bull atm). So… have an extra! Very different in some ways, not so different in others.

                    ULTIMATE SHIP MEME - Thelrand ❤ Venna

Affectionate:Holding hands | Cheek kisses | Hugs from behind | Cuddling | Hand kiss | PDA | Spooning | Shared baths | Whispers | Affectionate texts | Caressing | Stroke hair | No displays of affection

Sex:Shower sex | Wall sex | Neck bites | Oral | Morning sex | Drunk sex | Public sex | Backseat of car | BDSM | No sex

Dates:Picnic | Cinema | Restaurant | Sports game | Hike | Coffee | Museum | Club | Bar | Beach | No dates

Would my character…

Marry them? Yes | No Have sex on the first date? Yes | NoConfess their attraction first? Yes | No Have children/adopt? Yes | No Die for your character? Yes | No Cheat on your character? Yes | No Lie to them? Yes | No Cuddle after sex? Yes | No

I see these two as the sassy/snarky elven warriors (though Venna is a mage, she’s a knight-enchanter fairly quickly after becoming Inquisitor and very much enjoys being on the front lines with people) that everyone keeps an eye on ‘cause they’re not sure if they’re going to mess with them or just do something really friggin’ cool.

Also, as I kinda hinted before, they’d be quite a force if they worked together in battle. Plus, if Thelrand wanted to simply knock people out, that’s easier to do with magic than with blades and Venna would appreciate the sentiment of keeping kills low if necessary.

And don’t even get me started on the high sex drive. Baby, a match made in heaven. ;P

5. What activities do they enjoy together? 6. What is/are their love language(s)? For tulio and thelrand :)

[From this meme since it’s been approximately forever]

Thelrand Lavellan belongs to my dear @saphylee!

What activities do they enjoy together?

Thelrand is involved, so significant bedroom activity is practically a given, and we will just...ignore that.  

Early on in their relationship, Thelrand and Túlio were pretty much inseparable; they ate together, drank together, worked together, slept together, trained together, everything.  Túlio - who believes he is, as his most basic self, excruciatingly boring - had a new character to play, and often ended up just kind of adopting Thel’s interests as his own, or interests he thought he could easily share with him.  After a big argument and spending some time apart, however, it became clear that playing the character of Thel’s perfect lover wasn’t good enough, and he’d have to figure out how to become the real Túlio again to keep him.  He taught Thel to dance, and to use a pottery wheel, took him to plays, and introduced him to his large, boisterous family.  Of course, they continued sharing Thel’s interests as well, just not so exclusively, and not so codependently as before.  

What is/are their love language(s)?

These two are, predictably, all about their physical touch.   Thel is cuddly anyway, but there’s a kind of purity in touch that really works for this relationship in particular. Túlio loves laying the flattery on THICK, and can put together some heart-stoppingly beautiful words, but he also lies like a rug, which makes words of affirmation somewhat cheap coming from him.  With Thel, physical touch is a way for Túlio to bypass the words and lay his feelings bare, and give his love the reassurance he needs that what he says with his hands or his hugs or his kisses is the real, honest truth.

“I’m so proud of you, you know that?” for Hanin and someone of your choice (can be romantic or platonic.)

Thelrand Lavellan belongs to @saphyremelodies, of course!

“I’m so proud of you, you know that?”

Hanin smiled faintly as Thelrand hesitated mid-drink, the words seeming to catch him by surprise. In truth, they surprised Hanin too, even as he said them. He wasn’t typically one for such sentimentality, but perhaps a few ales and the lateness of the hour had loosened his tongue. Made him more forthcoming. 

“Here I figured you’d be more annoyed that I got myself into this mess.” Smirking, Thelrand set his flagon down with a heavy thud, folding his arms on the table. “Sure, the mission was dangerous, but I don’t think anyone expected me to come out with a glowing hand and the title ‘Herald of Andraste’.”

Humming to himself, Hanin gave a faint nod, not particularly surprised by how quickly Thelrand recovered from his initial shock. After all, he’d had to overcome a lot over the past few months. A confession of pride from a clanmate would hardly rank high on the list. “No, we certainly didn’t,” Hanin agreed, “but of all people… sometimes I wonder if it is good that it was you. Not that I want you to face this burden, but that you are handling it with such…” He trailed off, groping for the words. “Finesse.”

Thelrand snorted, seeming all to intent on his flagon, fingertip absently tapping at the handle. “Yeah, you should have seen me during the first week. I wasn’t quite as impressive as I am now.”

“I find that hard to believe.”

“Well, I’d rather not paint the picture, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it.”

The two men met each other’s gazes then snorted softly, raising their flagons and drinking to the statement. Clearing his throat, the ale not particularly satisfying, Hanin set it aside and clasped his hands loosely in front of him. “I mean it, Thelrand. I am proud, and Keeper Deshanna would be as well. I know,” he added quickly as Thelrand looked away again, “that hearing that kind of thing makes you uncomfortable, but you need to know. The work you are doing here is not going unnoticed or unappreciated. At least, not by your clan.”

It took Thelrand a moment to respond. Sometimes, Hanin wished he could read the other man’s mind; find out what was racing through it. Eventually, the corner of Thelrand’s lips twitched slightly, as if considering a smirk but losing the will to execute it halfway through. “Thank you. I… it helps. To know.”

Slowly, Hanin nodded, reaching out to rest a hand on Thelrand’s wrist. He gave a soft squeeze. “I hope it does. And if there is anything else I can do to help, I hope you will tell me.” Leaning back, he chuckled, a kind of pity fluttering in his chest as he watched Thelrand shift awkwardly in his seat. “Now, it seems I owe you another ale.”

Confused, Thelrand finally met his gaze again. “You do? I mean, I’m not complaining, but what for?”

“Embarrassing you.”

Grunting, Thelrand rolled his eyes. “I’m not embarrassed, Hanin. Just didn’t take you for such a softie.” 

There was a playfulness to Thelrand’s words that earned a fond smile from Hanin, who raised an arm, waving down the barkeep. “Enjoy it while it lasts, Thelrand. Tomorrow, I’m back to being a hard-ass.”

[red-wardens]

Thelrand simply seduces by existing and sometimes with a smile and a wink their way. Seriously though, he would most likely flirt, make innuendos, and occasional touching. He doesn't keep his attraction a secret.

Never been less turned on | Ugh no | I’d give you a try | Yes, yes, YES | I’M READY NOW DAMMIT 

dfks;jahfk;jsh *aggressively throws all my children (except Lesbian Nora Brosca and Aro/Arce Ronan Aeducan) at Thelrand* Honestly he’s such a strong, charismatic (and cough cough good looking) dude my kids (Blue Surana, Isseya Mahariel, Alyss Amell, Kieran Tabris, or Cassian Cousland) would find it fairly to very difficult to resist him.

Giveaway Winner #1: @saphyremelodies‘ Thelrand <3

[maiden-of-wolves]

I was digging into @saphyremelodies‘s blog because of an ask game I participated in and I found a really funny word post on her official Thelrand blog... so have a very weird doodle comic of Venna and Thelrand.

I have plan to draw another comic of them getting along, but I totally see Venna having days where she’s 110% done with his dramatics and just let him fall. I chose some pretty but hard to read fonts here, so I’ll add the text: 1) “Oh no!” 2) “What will I do with all this wit and charm?” 3) -flop- 4) “Fall, apparently.”

Thelrand seduces Katsuro with demonstrating a new fighting technique, a well placed dagger, and a coy declaration that he's "dead." ;) Alternatively, he tries the same technique on Avira, and Katsuro gets to watch. (I couldn't help it, I love them so much.)

(re: Sinday Seduction meme. Sketch by @art-by-g) 

Likelihood of success: 6/10

Likelihood of incidental arousal? 9/10. But whether this counts as a SeduceTM is contingent upon whether Thelrand makes it one, which would require a bit more of an overt action/invitation on top of this (very solid) foundation. 

[leothelionsaysgrrrr]

SEDUCTION: Thelrand helps Túlio through a particularly difficult drill, shirtless. He always stands just a few inches closer than necessary, sometimes outright pressed against him if he's behind him. His hands linger as his fixes his posture and guides him through each motion. And when Túlio tries out the drill again on his own, Thelrand may or may not use it as an excuse to pin him down. OR allow himself to be pinned. ;)

10/10

It’s 100% cheating to have Thelrand do like...anything shirtless around Túlio. Just so you know.

Túlio definitely responds very well to more tactile approaches, and if he’s giving him something nice to look at along the way...well. Let’s...just hope there’s somewhere more private nearby?
