Serendipity.
Note that I cannot draw, but I wanted to try anyway. I drew a little in high school, but that was about six years ago and mostly I stuck to things resembling tribal tattoos or robots. I did a robot version of the Martyrdom of St. Sebastian and my art teach probably decided I was very, very strange.
But yeah. I am not good at drawing. At all. But I actually managed to finished something without listening to the “this sucks, don’t bother” voice, so that’s something.
“So my brothers and I paid him a visit.”
I’m planning a fic (it may be chapters, it may be a series of connected drabbles – or fic with drabble supplements, IDK yet) about the elf family of the viddathari in “Demands of the Qun,” and the internets have ZERO pictures of this guy floating about that I could find. I wanted references in case I ever tried to draw him or one of his brothers (there’s one behind him, but for my story, and since he said “brothers” in his dialogue, there is one more bro who I haven’t decided on the reason he wasn’t in that scene).
While snagging Orlesian-looking replacements for the vault armor in MotA, I found that’s there’s now a mod that lets f!Hawke wear a dress at the party except for cut scenes.
That’s cool and all, except for the part where the modder said, “You cannot go to an elegant party wearing trousers!”
Actually, yes, yes, you can go to an elegant party wearing trousers if you please. Not everybody at the fancy party might be okay with that, but to modify a quote from Isabela, “They don’t you. You know you.”
I need more of you on my following list.
You could say that.
I don’t know what could indicate to anyone that I maybe have a teeny-weeny little silghtly obsessive daily ritual-esque Bioware-related problem.

I refuse…
Dragon Age made it hard to play MMORPGs for a while. I always try to pause them to get a better angle for attacking. Sadly it never works.
Look! A Wild Drawing Appeared!: Reblog if you like Dragon Age.
We are the companions. Guardians of the Hawke and protector of heroes. Heroes like Garret Hawke. Honey, you mean Garret HAWT!
I CAN’T BREATHE.
Dude, they’re just petite. The redesign has its pros and cons (Zevran being perhaps the only con), but can we please stop body shaming the female elves and calling them “pedo-bait?” Thank you.
^^^^^ I like how it’s only petite and skinny women who get called pedobait, yet men who are not tall and muscled are not. Double standards, much?
People also seem to be overlooking the fact that they’re, well, elves. Of course they are going to tend to be slighter than humans.
Humans: don’t think unfavorably of your physiology because it isn’t elven. You are not elves! Laryn is a dwarven broodmother; we don’t toss and turn at night, plagued by thoughts of how we wish we could look more like The Mother, now do we?
BioWare could have made the elves slim and petite without making them look so incredibly unhealthy.
We’re just going to assume that you’ve never met a fellow human with a small frame. They exist, and most probably resent the implication that they look “incredibly unhealthy.”

– WHY AM I NOT A 5’6” EXAMPLE OF ROBUST KIRKWALLIAN HEALTHWhat is the excuse for the Dalish then? “They walk a lot”? Also, why are the poor, poverty-stricken humans “robust”? Why are they not as skinny as the elves when living in the same conditions?
…Because biology.
They are humans.
All the awards for b-mommy. The elves do not have a human bone structure. Their shoulders are not as wide, nor are their hips. Their bone are not as large.
Also, if we want to get back on the subject of human biology, a person who is under 5’ and fine boned shouldn’t be called “unhealthy.” It’s really insulting to insist that they shouldn’t exist as a body type by saying it’s unhealthy or unnatural to be that size.

SILLY MERRILL, GRIMOIRES ARE PRIVATE (He’s secretly working on a SUMMON TABBY spell…)
ANDERS: Were you trying to look at my grimoire the other day?
MERRILL: Me? What? No! When?
ANDERS: At my clinic. While I was talking to Hawke. I saw you looking in one of my books. You know those are private.
MERRILL: I know, that’s why I… Oh, fine. I admit it. I was hoping you’d have, um, dirty spells.
ANDERS: Dirty spells?
MERRILL: You know, to um, make things more exciting. Oh, I shouldn’t have said anything.
ISABELA: That’s my girl!
ANDERS: More exciting? For you and Hawke?
HAWKE: Stop. Just… stop right there.
ANDERS: I don’t think I want to know.(The actual banter in-game plays this slightly differently, with Anders’ final line possibly playing earlier, and if Isabela comments, it may end the dialogue early.)

HIDDEN GEM FROM THE DA2 SOURCE AUDIO FILES
Oh my god, you guys, oh my god.
Listen. Right now.
I’m laughing so hard I can’t breathe.
(I’m not transcribing the quote, it’ll spoil it.)
What!? Who? Who’s the character? I must know.
———
It’s Garrett.
is it really m!hawke? gosh, and here it sounds so much like howden! i guess this means i’ll just have to listen to it another three hundred times to be totally sure… because THERE’S A DONKEY IN THE SPOON DRAWER is the first thing i heard today. i hope that sets the precedent for something amazing.
This is PRICELESS.
