I’m always surprised that the fandom doesn’t utilize the Free Marches more for their OCs. Because it’s a collection of city states that have varying traditions/culture and governing styles, you could just make up your own city state and do whatever you want??

Back to making sad edits #dragonage

This banter in front of Carver feels so cursed

I made another OC questionnaire, this time Origin specific! #dragonage #wardencousland #dragonageorigins

Not to be that guy, but we do know that not every single crow house is based out of Treviso, right?

I’ve seen some misinformation floating around about what Zev does and does not say about his sexuality to your player character depending on whether they are a f!warden or m!warden. Here are both versions of the conversation you can get depending on which you play: #dragonage #dragonageorigins

What happened in Aeonar?? 😭

Working my way back through all the worst Dragon Age tie in media

In the world of Thedas, it says Marethari became keeper in 8:82 Blessed, after the previous keeper died… the previous keeper was Mahariel’s dad who died shortly before they were born… So, they accidentally contradicted the lore in a way that makes Mahariel 48 yrs old at the beginning of Origins

Book your Orlesian vacation now to save 50 sovereigns per person- that’s 200 sovereigns off for a party of 4!! #dragonage

I’m dying to hear the banter within this party

I actually kind of liked when BioWare would reuse animations

I hate the interpretation of Alistair and Anora’s marriage where Al and HoF are sneaking around behind her back Anora literally brings up the warden’s relationship with Alistair the minute you suggest she marry him. All she wants is honest communication and not to be publicly embarrassed

Good morning to everyone except those who horrifically mischaracterize Lace Harding in fanfictions

Im saying this out of frustration but also: I truly do not find any enjoyment in the gameplay in Inquisition. The combat is the worst in the series by far I would rather play any of the other games on a harder setting for 24 hours straight than 20 minutes of Inquisition combat on easy

I’ve been working on an edit for the a week and now I have to play inqusition to get certain bits screen recorded that I need I just realised I do not have the saves to be able to get what I need, so I have to replay from In your Heart Shall Burn. Words cannot describe how much I hate that quest 😩

Words cannot describe how much I love Taash. They’re so thoughtful and that’s something that’s often overlooked

Procrastinating on Tearstone by staying in photo mode to avoid the inevitable

I genuinely feel like I’d have less beef with Inquisition if it let you name save files instead of just showing a location and time stamp

The smoothest woman in all of Highever 💀

Eleanor Cousland’s relationship with her daughter has been living rent free in my head for almost 16 years

It’s all fun and games until you remember the ‘surprise me’ options from the Pearl

I do actually like that some of the pronunciations of names and places varies between games because it’s believable to me that different dialects in different areas of Thedas would pronounce things differently But saying ‘ElgAR’HAN when the other Dalish in Ferelden say Elgar’nan is very funny to me

PSA: BACK UP ALL YOUR DA MODS NOW. Save files you might use, save the installation instructions, save mod author names just in case you lose data or want to find more from them.

This would have been really cute if Mahariel’s head didn’t clip through the pillow 😭

More ZevxMahariel spam bc I love them I want to make edits so badly, but I’m also cursed with being the most unmusically inclined person in existence, so I don’t have a song or vibe in mind for one

I’m sorry for the person I’ll become now that I have more Zevran romance mods

I love him so much

It’s going on 16 years, and I still love this stupid line so much

I was trying to look up the Sera Coryphifish quote (if you knew me when that was my screen name no you did not) and I’m cackling bc Google AI gave me THIS

We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv

If you’re fancasting a child actor as your OC who is in a relationship with an OLD MAN and then expecting ppl not to assume the absolute worst things about you, idk what to tell you

Every time I see Zev content where he’s modded into having no skin texture at all (and looks like he’s made of play dough) I die a little bit inside Give my man his crows feet back, I’m begging you 😩

For my Inky and Rook, it’s also ppl I’ve used as drawing references (or plan to use) Ash Lavellan: Lee Estelle (she’s a DJ/Visual artist, so I’m not 100% sure if she acts. (She’s very pretty and fits well for Ash tho) Val Laidir: Amrit Kaur (she’s so gorgeous and her mannerisms/vibe are perfect)

Idk if I’d cast these actresses 100% as my Warden and Hawke, BUT these are who I regularly use as references when I draw them Taliah Mahariel: Phoebe Fox Sheira Hawke: Stacey Farber (except blonde) I’ll quote post this again if I think of options for my Inky and Rook!

I swear I do like all the games, Origins just has most of my faves

I love thinking about HoF’s becoming the Warden Commander in Awakening, especially those who don’t particularly WANT to be a Warden Commander or even be active within the Grey Wardens My HoF only agreed to it bc the Warden nightmares returned and she didn’t know why/if it was dark ritual related

One of the reasons I’m so attached to ZevxMahariel ships is the potential for the two to bond and process grief/heal with one another The circumstances with Rinna and Tamlen are very different, but I love the idea of Zev and Mahariel finding healing one another and letting go of some self blame

You know what? Bc we never got a concrete answer as to where Shale ended up (and it was confirmed the golem in TN was not Shale) I’ve decided Shale is with Sten. I know Sten implied that the Qunari might be wary of a golem, but shhh. Let me have this

I really like that each game has some variation for vallaslin bc it makes sense that different Dalish clans from different regions WOULD have variation But It sucks when you want to recreate your warden and you either have to suck it up and switch her tattoos or find a functional mod (I haven’t)

I made another questionnaire! (with significantly less typos than the last one) I’m planning to do more character specific ones, but had to start with my fave assassin <3 #dragonage #zevranarainai #dragonagezevran

YYEEESSSSSSSS ONE ARMED INKIES OUR TIME IS HERE www.nexusmods.com/dragonagethe...

(Look I drew something for the first time in months) Zev doesn’t have to lift a finger with my warden around 😘 #dragonage #zevranarainai #dragonageorigins

Roses are red, Antivan leather boots he wears with pride, I‘d let Zev in his 40s make me his bride. 🌹 #DragonAge #DAO #Zevran #LarkArt

Zevran and Lucanis rare pair?

It’s been a while since I made a #dragonage questionnaire, so here is one for your warden characters!

I don’t remember if I posted this WIP, but here is something I was working on before I decided I hated it and lost motivation to draw The original plan was to draw all my canon DA characters and their love interest(s) for my YouTube banner Maybe I’ll try to fix this and line/colour it eventually

The last thing I’m going to say before moving on from the situation of the last few days is: It’s okay not to engage with parts of the fandom. If you have certain headcanons or opinions, that doesn’t mean you have to share them with people with opposing views. It’s okay just to scroll or block ppl

Also there’s this. I drew this in 2010 or 2011 when it was weirdly popular to insert the total drama characters into random franchises. I never coloured this, but it’s so fucking silly that I do lowkey kind of love it (also the warden was my self insert oc 💀)
