I love drawings of Alistair where he’s visibly half-elf, but I can only think of it as an AU, since, considering what Ali’s story line in da:o is, if he was visibly of elven heritage it would DEFINATELY have come up. So, it wouldn’t work in canon.
BUT.
Oh man an au where Alistair looks elven is so much fun to think about.  So he was told his mother was an elven servant right? which adds layers to the idea of a human noble being the one to get her pregnant, and even more emotional nuance to Goldanna’s whole deal.  Isolde’s dislike of him as a child would almost certainly have racial under(over)tones, and him being accepted into the templars would have been highly unusual (perhaps a bribe was involved), and the way his fellow trainees treated him would for SURE support his hatred of the whole affair.  The Grey wardens with their more laissez-faire attitude towards anything not darkspawn related would have been such a relief.
And the LANDSMEET. For me it was always pretty cut and dry that Anora should be on the throne, Alistair had no interest and she was obviously a more effective politician, plus girl power or whatever. She was somewhat of the underdog once Alistair’s name was put in the ring. But if Ali was a known half-elf? That would complicate the HECK out of things. Not only is there more incentive to put him on the throne because imagine an elven ruler of Fereldan and what that could mean, but it would also be harder and involve more work. It would put Ali and Anora on more even footing in the race for the throne. It would just be so cool. 
Aaaaa anyway. sorry. rambling. Point is visibly elven Alistair is a really cool concept and I wish it was in the actual game. thank you and goodnight.

got forcibly thrown back into dragon age and now i keep thinking about it. there were three (3) people who could’ve told alistair about his mom and two of them are dead and the one who’s left doesn’t want to tell him and like. from a character perspective, i do get why. but alistair is living his life and there’s a whole entire half of his identity that he doesn’t know about and isn’t connected to. do you think he’ll ever know that in canon? probably not, given bioware.

alistair is such a funny character. hilarious. a perfect embodiment of campy fantasy writing. he's the lost son of a legendary king. he is a member of a legendary world-saving order where very few survive. he has a bloodline curse and a bloodline blessing. he is half human, half elf, and also there's some dragon in there. he is in prophecies. he is one of the saviors of the world. he can communicate with darkspawn. he is skilled with sword and shield. he can counter magic without lyrium. he's even potentially the biological father of a reincarnated old god.
and meanwhile his personality is basically just "hey... i popped a pimple on my shoulder the other day and i'm a little worried about it... please stop laughing can you just look at it... isn't it a little, y'know, weepy?... no i haven't been picking at it... ... ...oh that's what picking means? then yeah i suppose i have... okay okay i'll stop picking at it... sometimes it looks like it's come back though... okay i'll leave it alone... are you sure it's okay? ... positive? ... okay, thanks... ... ... i'm still making an appointment with the healer tomorrow."

ROUND 3 MATCH 3
Tumblr media
Edelgard propaganda:
“to summarize, she started a war but she was right. maybe her means weren't the best, but I'll always support my wife to tear down the church and end fodlan's reliance and discrimination on Crests”
"FODLANS MOST ELIGIBLE LESBIAN BACHLORETTE"
Alistair propaganda:
“this man is my first love and i was heartbroken when he lost </3 i believe in you baby”
“Alistair and the player are the last known surviving members in the country of an organization sworn to save the world from the recently reappeared apocalypse. You travel together to gather allies and he is very sweet and adorable if you choose to romance him. Depending on your choices he can become king and make the player his queen, or you can stay side by side in the organization. If you try to sacrifice yourself to save the world at the end, a romanced Alistair will take the killing blow in your stead if he’s by your side in the moment”
“He's the sweetest pun-iest man and it is so hard not to fall for his goofy charm, especially since he is the first companion you meet. He has a tragic backstory as a bastard child of royalty who was sent away to protect the heir. I always try to go in to date someone else when I restart the game and I always give in and pick Alistair.”
“I love his puns and sarcasm. He may be kinda dumb and like the epitome of boring white boy to some people, but i just love the humour he brings to the party.”
"alistair was literally forced to live in the stables growing up because the man who had stewardship of him remarried and she didn't like him; he's a bastard prince and tries to keep it secret but is almost identical to the king and you meet those two within 5 minutes of one another; he finds a rose in the middle of a battlefield and thinks how impossible it was to find something so beautiful in somewhere so terrible and it reminds him of finding you - so he saves it to give it to you; he's 20 and if you tell him to he will take the throne (even though it's always been his greatest fear - he'll do it if you're at his side); he doesnt know he's a half elf and its possible for him to live in the same castle as his mother later; he notices she looks at him strangely but he never finds out why; he's doomed to die young and so are you"
