#varricmancer

[emotionallyunstabl]

varric shutting hawke down from the flirting early on is so juicy to me because ok when is he gonna take it back?

Mid game when hawke is already in a relationship with anders? of course he would never say anything post-da2 bc hawke does not need that after having to kill their boyfriend.

and by the time they meet again in skyhold how many years has it been? maybe now is the time,,,, of course after one last mission,,,,,,,,,,,

Proposing my theory:

The Merchant's Guild is convinced Varric made up the whole "Champion of Kirkwall" arishok thing and all other Hawke Facts™️ because Hawke is obviously just Varric's favorite sugar baby. He makes up stories about Hawke so no one is suspicious when they can suddenly afford a nice house in high town or show up at important parties. If Hawke passes through the merchant guild's market in high town everyone there calls him the "Champion of Kirkwall" with a voice like they know exactly how much varric is paying the human nobles to pretend to gush about them.

i was so set on replaying veilguard for the davrinmance but oh my god im SO attached to my agent-of-fenharel hardingmancer rn i actually think the choice is out of my hands lol

[tethrras]

HAD TO PAUSE THE GAME AT THE RITUAL SITE BECAUSE I WAS GETTING SAD. I HATE IT HERE.

[grimwarden]

Do you ever feel so moved by your love for a character you feel like a poet and in a Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer Day mood but all that leaves your mouth are gurgles as you stare at a picture you've looked at a thousand times. Because same.

[fenlenquisitor]

I never learn this kind of lesson... But it's a very wise piece of advice.

Varricmancers. My friends. Do not do this to yourself again. I know he's back, I know he's hot, I know you should be able to romance him, but if Hawke couldn't have him, no one can. Find peace. Do not break your heart again besties

[cadaveerie]

related to this post about the gameinformer articles.... but also kinda unrelated: here are some funny things that i realized while putting it together:

the names of the pictures that you can read on the drive are the names they were originally uploaded with by gameinformer. my hightlights are "davris" and "tassh".

i'm. sorry. it's driving me insane that when talking about romance they have A PICTURE OF HARDING AND VARRIC to accompany it. like ok, we know we can romance her, BUT WHY VARRICCC WHYYYY

THE SAME PICTURE IS USED IN THE NUDITY ARTICLE. AND THE COVER IMAGE FOR THAT ONE IS SOLAS. WHAT AFJSHGHSGL ARE WE FINALLY GONNA SEE THEM NAKED-

*loads the game* *a varric x solas very explicit sex scene unfolds before my eyes* wow... goty

sorry i just thought it was. funny. and weird. and suspicious. *tries very hard not to make this post part of his varricmancer agenda* auuuggghhh..

anyway that's it.. can't believe we'll FINALLY see varric's hairy ass and solas' massive schlong in 4k *gets shot*

The fans: Here's how Varricmancers can still win

[herearedragons]

1, 2, 11, 16 from the fandom asks for dragon age? :]

love your fandom asks

list 3 positive things about your current fandom(s)

the art. it's so good. there's so much good art

this fandom is pretty big on Themes and Symbolism, which I really enjoy (I know many fandoms have this, but in DA it feels very... iconic, somehow?? like there's something about all the tarot and religious imagery and having each of your characters be a historical figure in the game's world that really lends itself to representing their stories through symbols and archetypes)

the fact that no game in the series is underappreciated. like, if you go looking, you will find people who are the most invested in Origins and people who are the most invested in DA2 and people who are the most invested in DA:I and all of those groups exist at the same time and all of them still make stuff about their favorite game/s.

2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!

I guess this kind of leans into the "say good things about a ship" territory, but I'm going to say the "actually Hawke romanced Varric and he left it out of his story to protect their privacy" headcanon. I'm not a Varricmancer but I believe in their beliefs

11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

sdjfsldfjk well, Homecoming is an easy answer, and even though I've been talking about it for days at this point, I think I still have to go with this one? it's the first high-effort fic I've posted since coming back to tumblr and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

I'll have to go with everything about the Valo-Kas company and the potential for creepy shenanigans with an Inquisitor who drank from the Well of Sorrows. as. uh. as you might have been able to tell by the fact that two of my OCs are dedicated to exploring these exact topics in detail

Fandom: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age (Video Games), Dragon Age - All Media Types Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Varric Tethras/Original Female Character(s), Rylen (Dragon Age)/Original Female Character(s) Characters: Male Inquisitor (Dragon Age), Cassandra Pentaghast, Varric Tethras, Solas (Dragon Age), The Iron Bull (Dragon Age), Dorian Pavus, Cole (Dragon Age), Cullen Rutherford, Sera (Dragon Age), Leliana (Dragon Age), Vivienne (Dragon Age), Trevelyan (Dragon Age), Rylen (Dragon Age) Additional Tags: Suicide Attempt, Modern Girl in Thedas, MGiT, Angst with a Happy Ending, Slow Burn, eventual smut so the rating will change, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Mutual Pining, Flirting and bad jokes because this is Varric we are talking about, Crystal is very soft and sensitive, don't expect the badass female warrior thing, Varric may usually go for that type, but I think he would benefit more from someone that actively needs him and someone he can coddle, Past Abuse, Time Travel, Alternate Universe - Time Travel, a bit of jealousy until we get rid of she-who-shall-not-be-named, OC learns to love herself, Did I just promo BTS here?, maybe so, Canon-Typical Violence, Minor Character Death, Demons Are Assholes, Love Triangles, Found Family, Adoption, no beta we die like Leandra, Masturbation, Explicit Sexual Content Summary:

Instead of the nothingness she had craved, Crystal woke up in the world of Thedas. What had once been merely a story that she loved now seemed very real and she was right in the heart of it all. She soon finds a reason to live again and a love in the arms of someone as quietly broken as her.

anyway draw ur aeducan/brosca/cadash’s love interests and ur varricmancing hawkes etc with ONE vambrace pls they r spoken for

obsessed with the dwarf noble origin line abt gorim that says “he wears both vambraces... unmarried and eligible!”

this is partly bc the canon implication of a whole system to tell someone’s relationship status by their armour is very delightful but also they cant have both vambraces?? married dwarven warriors will be like damn who needs both arms

[wrdn-tabris]

MAYBE ILL FINALLY MAKE THAT VARRICMANCER I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT

[lavellane]

ive made my feelings on veilguard clear atp but i WILL say as a tragedy enjoyer act 3 really redeems sooooo much of it for me. esp having my rook-and-siblings worldstate bc let me tell u 3 rooks = 3 separate tragedies is DOING it for me rn. a bellaramancer a hardingmancer and a varricmancer walk into a bar. they all walk out single 😍

[tethrras]

thinking about a varricmancing rook...... can they touch whatever apparition of him is in the lighthouse??? if they want to kiss does he have to reject them??? is this thing on???

[varricmancer]

Varric couldn’t seem to stop his gaze from straying to the newest member of their crew as he spun a (only slightly embellished) tale to entertain them for the evening. He was used to his audiences gasping in shock or staring raptly with excitement. Instead, she was watching him with a smirk that tilted her pretty lips, like she knew he was full of crap and was letting him spew it all anyway. But even more captivating was the look in her eyes - warm and fond, dangerously so. Like all he had to do was say the right words for her to tumble into his arms. 

The wonderful @the-commanderjaneshepard gifted me some fanart for my birthday! Varric and my OC Crystal from my fic Lost and Found. The snippet is from the upcoming chapter that is from Varric’s POV.
