Send me a. Character: Anders, please?

OH MY FUCKING GOD, I HAD WRITTEN MY ANSWER AND WAS READY TO CLICK “PUBLISH” AND SUDDENLY MY CAT JUMPED ON MY KEYBOARD OUT OF NOWHERE AND IT ALL VANISHED.

Ahem, so… (And thank you for asking!

Send Me a Character

First impression: When I was playing Awakening for the first time, I was super upset of the idea of not having my Origins crew with me. Then they introduced Anders, and I went from “fuck this shit” to “Alistair who??+” in 0.0001 seconds. True story. 

Impression now: I love him as much as I did before. He’s a jerk, but he’s my jerk. I just don’t feel welcome in his fandom. 

Favorite moment: It’s difficult to choose between his first appearance in Awakening and the Chantry explosion… Noooo, actually, it must be the first kiss scene. Adam Howden did soooo good job with it. 

Idea for a story: I don’t have anything specific in my mind at the moment, but I’d love to eventually write something about him and Katla, my canon Hawke, being on the run together after Kirkwall. It won’t be easy for either of them.  

Unpopular opinion: I’m not even sure what would be considered as unpopular, but I really didn’t like the part when he basically blackmails Hawke into helping him. It’s just textbook emotional abuse. We can discuss about Jennifer Hepler’s intentions and headcanon it away, if we want, but it happens in-game nevertheless, and that’s why I’m mentioning it here. I understand his reasons, but it really doesn’t make it any better, whether it is for the greater good or not. 

(Although, that doesn’t affect for my love for him. People make mistakes when they’re upset or threatened or afraid. It’s only humane. I just don’t feel like coddling him for it. He’s an actual adult and thus responsible of his actions, mentally ill or not. And I’m saying this as a severely mentally ill person myself.)

Favorite relationship: I just might be blissfully biased and say Anders & Katla. It’s a difficult question for such a notorious multishipper as I am. I basically love him with all the Hawkes, Nathaniel, Justice etc.

Favorite headcanon: I love the idea of him being forced to sell his golden earring so he could pay his passage to Kirkwall, and Hawke eventually buying it back and giving it back to him as a surprise gift.

fenbella & anders/zevran for the ship rate thingy. pretty please

SEND ME A SHIP AND I’LL RATE IT:

First off:

I’M SORRY I GOT SICK AND THEN YEAH (kinda forgot to check tumblr….)

I sincerely apologize ; ~; but I appreciate that you sent an ask at all! Thank you!

Fenbela:

NOTP || Just no || Meh || Neutral || Good Potential || Ship it || OTP || JUST FUCK ALREADY

This is nothing personal on the ship itself but I think it’s mostly due to me being so into other ships for Fenris and Isabela that I pretty have no extra willpower to conceive the idea of them together. Not my thing, but I get it? Like I see the potential it can have but it’s not enough for me to get behind it. 

Anders/Zevran:

NOTP || Just no || Meh || Neutral || Good Potential || Ship it || OTP || JUST FUCK ALREADY

Well, idk why I never thought of this but I see the potential here! D: Like…wow. I can potentially get behind it at least casually? 

My kink is basically wanting Anders loved and I know once Zevran loves he will love with everything he’s got. And they’ll both be able to understand the pain of their pasts and I’m just . 3. 

Do fics of this exist yet…..?

Fic writer ask meme 2. From Favourite Toy which one is your fav scene?

10 Questions Every Fic Writer Secretly Wants to be Asked

Man, I can’t even properly answer that. Every other chapter has another kink and all the pairings boy gosh.

If I really have to choose, I’d go for the 6th chapter where they humiliate him by making him bend over and show how much hair he’s got, proceeding to talk about him and his hairiness as if he isn’t there. 

I am incredibly weak for humiliation that doesn’t involve name calling and/or insulting, when it comes down to things. But I also liked how I could write humiliation here while they are actually talking about making him perfect for them. Writing this I realised I could write this whole fic full of positive kink, whereas a lot of bdsm is based on negative expressions (punishment and pain rather than pleasing and spoiling). This is where praise kink became almost a bigger part of the story than the objectification it was started on.

"quiet me" for the prompt, please, any pairing you prefer : )

Quiet Me - Carver(Templar)/Emer(OC)

“He’s going to kill me! I didn’t do anything wrong, and he’s going to -”

“Look, just shut up, would you?”

Carver growled, wrapping one hand around the gibbering mage’s arm to drag her out of the main corridor. He picked door at random, pulling her into the dark confines of a broom cupboard. Ser Alrik was on the prowl, angry at something he had either learned from or been told by Knight-Commander Meredith, and Emer was an easy target. The Knight-Commander never even blinked when she heard of unpleasantness aimed at the last surviving Threnhold.

Emer was sobbing, terror seeping from every pore as she trembled, unable to quiet herself even when her life depended on it. Trapped in a dark space with a templar - even a templar who had been kind to her - was a fate she had always tried to avoid. Not for her the secret trysts that some templars forced on mages, whether they were welcomed or not. She was a target of choice for the nastier side of certain tempers, and Ser Alrik’s temper was not one she had ever wanted to get on the bad side of. All she had done was look at him; if she hadn’t been braced to run, she was certain he would have condemned her to Tranquility on the spot, just for existing.

Carver hadn’t known any of this was happening when Emer had barreled around the corner and run straight into him. He’d only been aware that a mage close to his own age was terrified and running; that she’d screamed when his hands had closed over her arms. Even here and now, when silence was her greatest ally, she was loud in her fear, utterly failing to muffle the whimpering cries that punctuated her terror.

“Emer ... look at me, listen ...” He gripped her arms, peering at her in the gloom. “You have to calm down. He’ll hear you!”

“I-I ... I can’t, I ... he ... what if ...”

The clank of armor in the corridor beyond the door caught Carver’s attention. What would Seryn do? he found himself wondering. Not that he needed to wonder far - his sister would probably burst out of the closet and attack. She wasn’t subtle, Seryn. But this was the Gallows, and a dead templar would attract all sorts of terrible attention. Emer would almost certainly be made Tranquil if he attacked a brother on her behalf, and then ... there wouldn’t be any more shy smiles in the library. No more passed notes on patrols. No more innocent touches of hand to hand as they passed in the halls. He couldn’t bear the thought of seeing her made Tranquil, any more than he could stomach the idea of Seryn suffering the same fate. His sister had not forgiven him for joining the Order, but how else was he supposed to protect her? He’d failed Bethany; he wouldn’t fail Seryn. And right now ... he refused to fail Emer.

“... the little bitch? Where?” Ser Alrik’s voice growled beyond the door, far too close for comfort.

Emer wailed, certain she was soon for death or worse, and Carver ... just reacted.

His gauntleted hand cupped her jaw, pulling the petite woman close as his lips captured hers, the only thing he could think of to muffle her, to distract her from her terror. He felt her squeak beneath the unexpected kiss; felt her struggle and soften as the tension faded from her form. There was nothing but this darkness, this kiss, and as her soft hands crept to his cheeks, he finally let himself admit that this was what he had been wanting for far too long.

With gentle hands, he lifted her from her feet, pressing her back against the shelves that crowded the dark space, lips parting to ravish her mouth with hungry desire. She gasped as his fingers lifted her robe to knead at the tender flesh of her thigh, her legs wrapping tight about his hips, the danger forgotten. Did she want this, too? Was she just as tight with forbidden yearning each time their eyes met in this deadly place?

He wanted ... but he didn’t dare go too far. He didn’t want to be a templar that took what he wanted without a care for the wish of his charge. As the angry voices faded away, Carver gently lowered Emer to the floor, letting her robe slip back to modestly cover her legs as his kiss tenderly came to an end. She stared up at him, resin-dark eyes wide with unmistakable longing.

“There,” he murmured softly, one thumb stroking the tears from her cheeks. “He’s gone.”

She shivered, leaning into the protective curl of his hand to her cheek as her eyes closed, savoring the unexpected warmth of a touch not meant to harm. “I ... thank you, Ser Carver.”

“Just Carver,” he told her sternly, tilting her chin until she looked into his eyes. “I promised once that I wouldn’t let you be hurt for no reason, Emer. I, um ... I think we can both guess why, now.”

Despite her habitual fear, her learned meekness, he thought he saw a flicker of impishly sweet joy skitter over her face as she leaned into the press of his armor against her chest. “Carver,” she whispered, quiet now in his arms.

It was madness, to love a mage. Here in the Gallows, it was a death sentence if he was caught. Finally, he understood just why his mother had taken the risks she had. He would do that much, and more, just to see Emer Threnhold’s smile in the sunlight. They just had to survive Kirkwall somehow, in softness and secrecy. One day, things would improve.

But for now, there was quiet and calm, and these kisses to hold close, until they could find some way to be free.

Thank you, @damnedapostate, for this prompt! I haven’t really explored too much of Carver and Emer yet - wasn’t expecting it to go in this direction!

Prompt me, I dare you. I’ll write anything Dragon Age, any pairing - even my own OCs!

8, 9, 14 for the salty asks, please? :)

8. Have you received anon hate? What about?I received some a year or so ago, but I found out who it was and blocked him. The hate was about straight art I wouldn’t tag as such, and also at some point he came at me because I was tagging f/f art, which I don’t do anymore because nobody asked me to tag it and I don’t see the point. There was also the problem that I don’t personally enjoy mpreg, and he’s a massive fan of it - he even makes 3d art of it. He’s just a rude person that I’m happy not to have to deal with anymore. :)

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?Ugh, to be honest I have a hard time disliking anyone, there’s always a justification behind their beliefs or actions.

Halward Pavus is the first person that came to my mind, because no matter how you look at it, he’s a despicable person. He tries to bend his only son to his will by using methods he always reffered as the means of the weak. Looks like he is a weak asshole, and despite understanding Dorian’s pain at the loss of his father, I wasn’t sorry to know he was dead in Trespasser. 

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?Everybody kind of agrees that the Dragon Age fandom is a hell hole, but I’m pretty comfy in my own niche with the people I follow. :) 

#thanks for asking! #damnedapostate

[striving-artist]

damnedapostate replied to your post: I just closed out of a fic bc Tony Stark bought...

why tho? i think tony stark would not only buy furniture like that but improve and tinker with it, too.

Ok, I will preface this with the fact that I work in design and am a snob about it due to that so this might get long. 

So. First off, good furniture, really good furniture, the kind that you buy when you’re a billionaire, comes preassembled bc it was made by a master craftsman. The table is solid hardwood, top to bottom, with graceful box joints, and perfect fills over screwholes. It’s not veneer over particle board. That furniture? made of solid wood? that stuff lasts ages, and isn’t going to come apart like kindling when a super soldier falls on it. 

If you’re talking about glass and wrought iron and metal, those are not things that the final attachment should be screws. That’s furniture that should be assembled by the artist that created it. That’s stuff where the final welds bring the whole thing together and it’s going to last right up until someone willfully tries to break it. 

Good furniture isn’t just function, it’s art. 

Next, on the subject of tinkering. You know how when you assemble an ikea desk, and then have to disassemble bc you’re moving and the legs mean it doesn’t fit in your car? And the thing never really goes back together right? 

Good furniture doesn’t do that. If it is something where the table top comes off the legs, there is a sturdy and custom made set of joinery. Once you get used to working with real materials, theres no going back. Particle board burns at your skin like a vampire with holy water. Printed wood grain veneer becomes anathema. Once you have a custom piece of furniture, especially any kind of wood craft, you’re spoiled for it. Ten minutes with an alan key and I think Tony would repulsor it into smithereens. 

Now, this is tony, so I think it’s safe to say that he would absolutely want to make better versions of things, but unless you’re making an expanding iris table. or some other transforming piece, I can’t see him getting all that interested. If it’s something that matters to him, he’d design and fab it from scratch. If it doesn’t matter to him, he’d order whatever was the best and expect someone else to handle it from there. 

Also. furniture making has little to do with the kind of engineering we see him do in canon. In general he does fidgety technological things. He doesn’t do handcraft work to get a perfect angle on a desktop, just does the math, and has Jarvis manufacture it. Yes, he built the mark I, but once he was back in Malibu, he had J doing fab. He loves technology, I don’t think he notices or cares much about the construction of the couch. 

This fic did not have him working in a cabin off the grid, in which case, sure, he’d tinker with cheap furniture and make it better. If its a broke student coffee shop au, I will accept that he’d have some super specialized walmart- bookshelves. But. If he is in the tower, and a billionaire, Tony Stark is not buying things that need assembly by purchaser. He yells aloud, Jarvis orders them, and employees bring them into the specified location. 

That being said, I’d really like to see what he would do if introduced to the idea of transforming furniture. like this. 

Because I assume within about a day and a half he’d have a few hundred designs and he’d design a work bench that turned into a bed when he was too lazy/tired/busy sciencing to leave the lab, or even stand up. 

however, I stand by my initial argument, he’d build them from scratch. 

#damnedapostate #apparently I have strong feelings on this #I will fight you if you disagree #congenially #but all the same #this seems to be an absolute in my head #tony does not tinker with low quality goods #do you regret asking me this yet? #I assume so

damnedapostate replied to your post: “Did I ever talk about the time I studied abroad with some rich kids?…”:

oooh tell us more

There’s soooo much stuff man. The first night we arrived in Hong Kong, bunch of them went out clubbing and got dead ass drunk. The next morning, one of the girls didn’t show up to orientation because she went home with a total stranger. We had no idea if she was okay or not, if she was dead, until she finally came back to the apartment complex later that day. But man, the person in charge of us was pissed! 

Every single day, for 6 months, these kids went out clubbing. To the point that they got into a VIP list for this exclusive club. They either wouldn’t show up to class bc they were hung over, or they would come and sleep. 

One of the boys is the grandson of the University dean, and so when he got into this fight with another boy, he threatened to have him kicked out of school. 

Another girl, she got herself a sugar daddy, and kept going out with him, but eventually she got kicked out because she got so drunk that she poured champagne in his face. 

Along that line, some of the guys got into bar fights? Out of the few times I did hang out with them, ¼ of the time they kept getting into fights when they get drunk? TWICE, two ppl got their teeth knocked out and had to get it cemented back in. 

We were supposed to go to class and study, but a lot of them kept flying to different places. Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China, Thailand like it was no big deal. 

Several of these 19-20 year olds already had fiance/es. When I asked, one of the guys told me that his fiance is the daughter of his dad’s business partner. They were arranged to be married since they were young. And I’m like whaaat? He says he likes her though, so it worked out. 

That last day we were in Hong Kong, the kids rented a yacht and invited all of us to party with them on the ship. While cool, I was like this isn’t normal. 

This isn’t including all the drama between everyone. The girls split into two groups, over I don’t even know what, tried to make me choose a side and I was like, I don’t care, and I don’t want to be a part of this. Almost every single person that had a boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance on that group, all ended up cheating on their partner. Only two people didn’t, and that’s because their girlfriends came to visit them. Like in the middle of the school year, their girlfriends flew from the US to visit them in Hong Kong. 

I didn’t hang out with them much, so I’m sure there’s more drama. There was just a lot of things that went on. There were maybe 4-5 ppl that I liked hanging out with in the group. The others were a bit too wild for me.

Letter M. Make it kinky if you want to play like that xd

Put a letter from A-Z in my ask and I’ll tell you 1 thing I love which starts with that letter.

In the kinky variety: manhandling. Manhandle my feathermage in particular~

Not kinky: One of my best friends’ names starts with an M and she’s a treasure who has given me so much, too much. I love her very dearly.
