Vax is soaking up the sun and trying to convince Dorian to get in the water. He loves being outdoors & u will have to drag him away at the end of the day. Gareth will be staying as far away as folks will let him. He HATES large bodies of water & will avoid at all costs. #VaxLavellan #GarethHawke

cw: blood “Whatever happens, I wouldn’t trade the years we’ve had together for anything. I love you.” #DragonAge #DragonAgeArt #DorianPavus

The only person allowed to use Vax’s full name is Dorian. He hates Herald but will tolerate Inquisitor if he must. Gareth much prefers Rook, and doesn’t even reveal his full name to his companions as a way to hide from his past. #VaxLavellan #GarethHawke #OCs #DragonAge

Down the rabbit hole we go!

My birthday is in two weeks, and I thought it'd be fun to do a little giveaway for it, so how about a small (3.5"/9cm long) nug ami, crocheted from my own pattern? To enter: 🐇 Follow me 🐇 Like and share this post 🐇 That's it! One winner; I'll cover shipping; ends May 28th 🖤 #DragonAge #crochet

A trio of BioWare veterans have formed Edmonton-based Studio Reset, and their first game is a neon-noir mystery set in Canada. 🍁 Had a great chat with them about their X-Files inspirations, managing the scope of both their games and the studio, representing Canada in this debut project and more!

Dragon Age I miss u 😢

Another amazing commission by @zekearts.bsky.social ✨🫶🏻 All the detailsssss 👁️👄👁️ Gareth Hawke, my punk rock pancake. I love him, your honor. #GarethHawke #Rook #datv #OCart #commission #dragonage

I will literally pick elf 100% of the time if it’s an option 🤷🏻‍♀️ I came up w Gareth after playing thru VG once; I thought the idea of him being a Hawke & having a connection to Varric/Isabela was interesting & it grew from there. The SDs seemed v on brand for the child of Hawke & Fenris. #GarethHawke

Just finished FFX for the first time ever…I fear I may never emotionally recover. 🥹😭 #finalfantasy #FFX

Vax typically smells like a forest. Pine, dirt, cedar, w/ a hint of something floral occasionally. Gareth probably smells like leather & polish since he spends most of his free time treating his weapons & armor. #VaxLavellan #GarethHawke #dai #datv #rook #oc #dragonage

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

C - without Inquisition there would be no Vax! But also, D - playing Veilguard reignited my passion for this world and all of these games. Plus where would we be with Gareth?!

Friday Misha vibes ✨

This is hard! 😅 Vax and Gareth are so beautiful in their own very different ways. I can’t do it, you pick!! #VaxLavellan #GarethHawke #dragonage #ocsky #dai #datv

Hello bsky it is I, back from the recent dregs of depression! 🥳

Here’s a new one! Marina met Solas when she joined the Inquisition & respected his knowledge & skill but didn’t really have an opinion outside of that. Once she learns about him trapping Gareth in the Fade, she would have slapped him back into the Fade herself if she could. #MarinaHawke

Only in the sense that there’s so much about them that is stuck in my head. I share what I can but I’m a slow ass writer so there’s so much just sitting in my noodle waiting to come out. But, also, I feel like once it’s out there it’s not just “mine” anymore. + more in comments

Solas spent a thousand years plotting to tear down the Veil and free his people. I’m using it to do 37% off Cameos until March 17th. v.cameo.com/e/iAKuLbQAq1b

Not listening to his father and staying in Kirkwall for sure. Sneaking out and trying to follow Fenris got him abducted & dragged to Tevinter & kept him from seeing his parents again for nearly six years. Ah, what could have been. #GarethHawke

Trusting Solas is probably at the top of his list. It cost him so much. I’ll get into it more in my fic, but leaving his clan unprotected after Trespasser turned out to be a pretty big misstep for him as well. #VaxLavellan

PFP day? Oh no not another chance to show off my sweet lil elf boy 😊🥰

Also finished this YCH for @yllex.bsky.social of Gareth and Neve together. I really enjoyed working on this one, and thank you for letting me draw your boy! #art | #edibleart | #neverook | #dragonage

Me: I’m gonna write today! Brain: Yes! *writes a singular paragraph* Brain: that’s enough now pls stop Me: 😡

Working on creating Gareth in Cyberpunk 2077. Sad that I can’t have his signature heterochromia and have to choose between blue and green eyes. Still gotta tweak some things…it’s not quite right but i think I’m close. I do love that he starts w a broken nose. Feels right 😂 #GarethHawke

Guess who finally learned how to use photo mode! #Cyberpunk2077

My partner has been playing through #DragonAgeOrigins for the very first time. We just finished the game last night, and watching his reactions through all of act 3 has been such a delight. He’s so pure & precious 🥰🥰

My commissions are open from April onward! I'd love to do more bookish stuff! Reposts appreciated immensely. ➡️ jaspermillerart.com#commissions [ #commissionsopen #artcommissions ]

🐍 ✨ #DorianWeek2026 is here!! Thank you everyone who participated in #DorianWeek last year! Super excited to see what everyone will be doing with the prompts this time around 💕

Gareth doesn’t smile a lot, especially not until after he’s stuck in the fade. Most of his closest friends haven’t seen it very often. Things that can cause our grumpy elf to crack: Varric, winning at Wicked Grace, punching Venatori, & seeing a certain Tevinter detective. #GarethHawke

Dorian. His clan. Listening to Sara and Blackwall bully Solas. Showing off for Dorian. Warm weather. Drinking with good friends. Listening to Varric tell stories. Watching Dorian in his element. Any animal. His own jokes. Oh, and Dorian. #VaxLavellan

FIC WRITERS I love you all. Writing is hard and talented work and do not let anyone discourage you from writing tropes, headcanons, tags and stories you like. The people who matter will appreciate you and opinions are just opinions!! Write and share and post!!

if you're ever wondering if your nice words and support really matter to a writer/artist, this is how we feel when it happens:

Sharing this here for those who do not vibe with Tumblr! Fenhawke Week 2026 will take place in July hehe (Bless them for organising it a few days before my birthday so I have Fenhawke content to feed my soul🙏) www.tumblr.com/fenhawke-week

💚Vax: spooning w Dorian wearing simple linen pants & no shirt. 💜Gareth: on his back cuddled w Neve (but he can & will sleep wherever if needed) w loose pants & shirt if he can find it. ♥️Marina: starts cuddled w Fenris & ends up sprawled across the entire bed- usually naked or in Fenris’ shirt.

New month new skircle! 🫶🏻

Vax bonds the quickest with Josie. She’s one of the first to show him sympathy & understanding. He thinks Leliana is fierce & smart & tends to take her advice to heart more than the other two. Cullen takes the longest to grow on Vax, but he respects his strategy & tactical prowess. #VaxLavellan

Vax actively gives his potions away as often as possible. His philosophy is “if I put myself between the danger and others then they will be safer…I’ll be fine” which does tend to stress out his friends quite a lot. #VaxLavellan

The next chapter is actively fighting me but here's my Pavellan longfic with an inky whose siblings & daughter will also be a semi-big part of the story <3 It's very slowburn bc we're at chapter 27 already but I promise they will finally stop stalling soon 😭 archiveofourown.org/works/233336...

DORIAN WEEK 2026 PROMPT VOTING IS NOW LIVE!! You can use the strawpoll link below to help decide what prompts we'll be using for the next Dorian Week!! We’re still open for suggestions, let us know if you have any! strawpoll.com/wby5Qok4KyA

💚 Vax is affectionate & passionate & fiercely loyal to those he cares for. He does tend to hide his own pain/discomfort for the sake of others to his own detriment. 💜 Gareth is extremely hard to read even amongst his closet friends. He cares deeply, you’d just never know. #VaxLavellan #GarethHawke

I can forgive Fen'harel for wanting Mythal's power for himself, but I can't forgive him for killing Flemeth in the process. To have one less magical MILF in Thedas is unforgivable.

Vax prefers to talk it out right then & there, but Dorian tends to need space to process so he will go off to practice with his bow or work on whatever small craft he has at the time until Dorian comes to find him. They talk through it & then it’s kisses & cuddles & then they’re fine. #VaxLavellan

There’s a time in her life where Marina 100% accepts white lies to avoid a terrible truth with Anders because it was too much to handle. She learned very quickly just how bad that strategy was. #MarinaHawke
