i. feel like rambling about my hawkes. under a cut to spare y'all

so they're all pro-mage obviously because I can't uh. stomach a playthrough otherwise fjkdls but the way they are is different in a way that i think is interesting

Matt, my first Hawke, is a purple rogue who's pro-mage in a kinda. labrador retriever kinda way. he supports mages because so many people he loves are mages, why wouldn't he advocate for their freedom? there's not an argument in the world that could sway him because this belief isn't built on any sense of logic or right and wrong, it's built on love. when Anders asked him to distract Elthina he did so without question, and while the chantry boom scared the shit out of him of course he fights for the mages, and he trusts and supports Anders in everything

Oliver, my canon Hawke, is a red mage who's pro-mage in a selfish kinda way, but also in a "I don't trust any authority" kinda way. in the early game, this manifested as doing whatever the guard or templars asked of him, as a way to avoid suspicion. as time goes on, and especially due to Anders' influence, he starts to come off of that and by act 2 he's very openly, aggressively pro-mage. he is cross with Anders for lying to him and for refusing to divulge his plan, but he goes along with it anyway, and the most upsetting part of the chantry boom is realizing that Anders fully expected him to kill him, and why

(sidenote, Oliver's pro-templar actions in act 1 are a direct result of me wanting to get Carver to 100 friendship by the end of act 1. i did not succeed, but i got an interesting character out of it so y'know)

Ari, my current Hawke, is a blue warrior who's pro-mage because he has sat down and thought it through. he knows mages deserve freedom and equal rights and he will put his money where his mouth is -- to an extent. he doesn't support blood magic and he doesn't support abominations, and he knows that mages don't need the circle to prevent those because he had his father and bethany as examples. he's still early in act 1 so we'll see how his character progresses, but I know that he will romance Anders (and Isabela) and then, in the end, he will kill Anders, and he will see it as an act of mercy, the same as Aveline killing Wesley or Anders killing Karl

#btw i am open to discussing any of them because i am nothing if not someone who loves to talk about characters #especially my own #this has been a post #my ocs #ash plays dragon age #hawke #for worldstate wrangling purposes oliver goes with fabian #and ari goes with a warden i have in reserve that i haven't even played yet (his name is dunks he's a dwarven rogue i love him) #matt goes with an amell that i haven't fleshed out and don't plan to play any time soon

i was tagged by the lovely @honeysofte to make some blorbos in this picrew! so here they are!

evadne amell - kalyani tabris faris mahariel - aedan cousland damon hawke - amalia hawke isra trevelyan - marya lavellan

i'm tagging, with no pressure: @justcallmecappy , @ziskandra , @zevsurana , @crossdressingdeath , @dreadfutures , @flashhwing & anyone else who wants to make some ocs in a picrew!

#tag games #for my lavellan. i should explain that she didn't originally look like that. but i edited her as i went throughout the game and it just fit #marya is a rogue not a mage. so i hc'd that touching/interacting w the rawest form of magic sort of fundamentally changed her. it has left #physical marks on her. i just think it fits w the themes of how she can never go home. she can never be who she was before. #bc being the inq has alienated her from everything she was and everything she knew. i just think its neat ok! #over the four years until the anchor is removed her hair goes white. her eyes go from brown to this Obvious Purple Monstrosity. #i tap into it w isra as well but i love the body horror that comes with the anchor!!!! it fundamentally CHANGES the inq who suddenly can #dream or do magic or whatever and i THINK that should be reflected!!!!!! #also aedan is so SLEAZY even in this. we have to kill him. we HAVE TO #evadne amell #kalyani tabris #faris mahariel #aedan cousland #damon hawke #amalia hawke #isra trevelyan #marya lavellan #i had to repost this because it wouldn't let me edit the thing!!!! so here we go AGAIN

[shivunin]

More micro stories and prompts?? YAY!

So, let's say.

Starry for Maria

Truth for Elowen

Medicine for Arianwen

Profane for Emma

Initiative for Salshira

… Pick the one(s) that you'd like best of course, no obligation to do them all! ✨

YAY BACK, oh man, you just know what I had to do for "initiative" right? Because now I desperately want a modern AU dnd group with Salshira as the DM. She would make a fantastic DM.

Thank you, Arja! 💗

(Micro-Fic Prompts)

Starry  

“Lavender’s green, dilly dilly, lavender’s blue,” Maria sang, and motes of light spun from her fingertips, swirling in tiny constellations over the cradle before her. Leander reached for them, cooing, his tiny eyes fixed on the starry whorls above his bed. 

“You must love me, dilly dilly, for I love you.” 

This past few weeks, he’d refused to fall asleep without something to watch when she put him down to sleep. She’d been the same as a child—lights much like these were the first thing she’d ever called from the other side of the Fade—so Hawke would stand by his bed and sing until he dozed off at last. It was just a phase, she’d been assured, and the babe would grow out of it in time. For now, she didn’t much mind the singing, nor the stars.

“Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?” she sang, and smiled when she saw movement in her periphery: pale hair against the shadows, the shift of a shoulder against the doorframe, always watching in case she needed him. Ah, how she loved them both.

“Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.”

Truth

“Tell the truth,” Varric panted between bolts, “it’s the hair, isn’t it?”

Elowen cast him a horrified glance and tossed a fistful of lightning at the bear they were fighting. 

“You want to talk about this now?” she asked, and ducked when a massive paw would have crushed her head. Varric snagged her arm and tugged her out of range while Cassandra swung into the breach. 

“What else could it be?” he asked. “He’s not exactly the most charming guy out there.”

“Varric,” Elowen said, and slammed the butt of her staff on the ground, “no. Stop trying to turn this into a narrative.”

“I’m just saying—” he began, but she gestured sharply. 

“Let it go,” she insisted, and then he had no choice but to let it go, for the first bear had called for a second and there was no longer any breath to talk with.

Medicine

“The mage sent me with your medicine,” the assassin said, and he was opening the flap of her tent before Tabris could decide if she wanted to pull the blanket over her damaged arm or leave it out in the open. 

Zevran hissed between his teeth and crouched beside her, eyeing the burned skin over her wrist and forearm. 

“A nasty wound,” he said, “do you need help with it?”

“No,” Wen said sharply, and winced when she tried to angle her arm closer, “...maybe.”

Zevran made a soft noise, tongue against teeth, and carefully sat beside her. Wen hissed at the sensation of the balm on her tender skin and buried her face in her shoulder. 

“Why did she not come herself?” he asked idly, his fingertips very careful over her skin. 

“I told her to fuck off when she offered,” Wen muttered into her shoulder, flinching when he laughed and traced ointment over the edge of the wound. His fingertips were callused and warm; for some reason, she hadn’t expected that. 

“There—it is done,” he said a moment later, and stood to go. 

“Thank you,” she muttered in response, long after the tent flap had swung shut again and the sound of footsteps had faded away. 

Profane

It felt profane to walk here. 

How funny to think so, after all the ruins and temples Emma had explored as a child. But this place—this temple—was different. It felt alive somehow, as if the goddess it revered was still present to watch what she did here. 

“I am sorry,” she told the first statue of Mythal in Elvhen, “I want to help and I will be as careful as I can be, but there are others here who mean this place harm.”

She could hear the others murmuring behind her, feel the weight of Solas’s stare against the back of her neck. He’d been odd since they approached this place, but she couldn’t put her finger on why. 

Didn’t matter. He’d made it clear that her faith was not his, and that was fine. 

“Let’s do these puzzles,” she said after a moment, turning away from the remote expression of the statue. “We have to make this right, however we still can.”

Initiative

“The high inquisitor rises from her throne, staff in hand, magic spilling from her fingertips,” Salshira said, rising slightly from her chair as she spoke. “‘You have overstepped your bounds and you must pay the price,’ she says, and when she waves her hand every single one of the doors behind you slams shut and locks.”

The six players at the table before her gazed on in various stages of horror, Cassandra’s hands clasped before her, Cullen with one palm over his forehead, Bull grinning broadly and rubbing his hands together. 

“You know what I’m gonna say,” Salshira said, spreading her hands. 

The others groaned and fumbled around for dice, Sera drawing her set from under a paper plate and two grease-stained sheets of paper, Varric from inside a velvet-lined case, and Josephine from the precise line of dice she’d set before her. Salshira waited until all six players held their d20 in hand before grinning and leaning forward. 

“Roll for initiative,” she said, and the fight began.

#now tbf maria would also be a really really good dm #(due respect to varric he would be great if his players were cool w a more fixed narrative but otherwise? railroad city baby) #prompt response #ask response #arianwen tabris #maria hawke #elowen lavellan #emmaera lavellan #salshira lavellan #my writing #shivunin scrivening #josie plays a massive tiefling warlock of course (contracts being her area of expertise) #bull plays a lil gnome rogue who sneaks around (bc he gets a kick out of being under line of sight for most people) #sera is a half-orc wild magic sorcerer (because she likes to say she's doing 'some magic bullshit' and she likes aoe attacks) #cassandra plays a human paladin ofc (oath of conquest) #hmmm i'm torn bw the obvious bard for varric and a monk (bc he would get a kick out of being op) #and cullen picked a leonin fighter because he didn't understand what the options were before he signed up for this #(he thought you were either a fighter or a non-fighter) #(but now that he's playing he knows the rulebook backward and forward)

[juniemoe]

i have so much fondness for the hawke bros, my favourite platonic dynamic in the whole series tbh

#i have a fondness for big brother & little brother dynamic in general #they make me so emotional #and carver is one of my favourite characters #people who always choose a rogue/warrior because they hate him how does it feel to be a loser #i'm pretty sure there's also a mod that makes carver die even if you choose to be a mage #rip but carver hawke will always be famous to me #anyway yeah #🎮 vilna plays games

[totentnz]

i will forever be the guy who picks a romance based on class and there is nothing i can do about it

#sammy says shit #surana? romanced morrigan #mahariel (rogue) romanced zevran #mage hawke? anders (obviously) #mage lavellan? solas (duh) #ig my trevelyan romanced cullen but that doesnt count (bc i said so) #my first tav (bard) romanced gale and that also doesnt count #because tbh i didnt pick gale he picked nafaris lmao #and now as to why im making this post: im so close 🤏 to making bg3!athras (druid/mage) romance halsin #listen athras is a wizard physically but in her heart she's a druid #i dont know how else to describe it #its about finding similarities and wanting a partner to understand and share some experiences #and when i say i pick romances i mean i just gravitate towards these pairings

[yuridovewing]

Mousewhisker, a cat that was explicitly a former loner who was taken into the clans as a young kitten, who had his name changed, all that, choosing to then train in the dark forest, full of warriors who are explicitly xenophobic.... that's pretty interesting to me

#in that like. given the dark forest mentors manipulate their trainees into the forest #or play into xenophobic beliefs that were already there with senior warriors #given that mousewhisker was still young im willing to bet it was the former in some way #was it ever said who explicitly lured him in there? id like to think it was hawkfrost #similar to the parallel between hawk and bramble/ivy and dove. maybe he preyed on mousewhisker because of his rogue heritage #perhaps he was persuaded to train there because he felt it was the best way to get his fellow warriors to think he was worth anything #also his boo minnowtail is in there

idk if this will make sense but like. the way birb feathers work for mobians IN MY LORE AT LEAST is that like, they have individual feathers and fluff layers like a regular bird. BUT. the reason they have shapes or some have limited strands or pieces (take wave for instance) that do not seem feathery or textured at all… is NOT because it is one big feather or plume or anything.

instead, feathers are often loose and fluffy, but styled into these loc-like shapes for convenience and also personal flare. it takes a lot of maintenance and upkeep for them to stay so uniform and unruffled, especially if you have less of them, but it’s still less maintenance than having to deal with daily styling

ultimately, out of the rogues, jet has the least managed (but still heavily managed) feathers because he loves the mohawk or ponytail look— it’s out of his face and even if they get ruffled by the wind, they’re behind him.

storm has 3, and is the most confident in his styling ability because there’s no mohawk, hairtie, or bandana to cover him when he’s not feeling up to it. king shit

wave’s feathers,,, are a good representation of her personality. having feathers styled THAT LONG is basically unheard of. like she has never molted that shit off she is COMMITTED and they aren’t extensions either. don’t ask me how they feathers grow longer like hair i haven’t decided which reasoning i want to go with yet. anyways, wave’s feathers require THE MOST effort, but the reason why storm still surpassed her is because. of the bandana. wave isn’t styling those fucking baby feathers, so on a good day her head is smooth, but most days it is the bird equivalent of hat hair and a scrunkly mess of choppy fringe. and i love her

#bsc canon lore #the babylon rogues #my idiot bird babies #storm the albatross #jet the hawk #wave the swallow #this is why i draw her with the emo hair djdkdkfkdks #i have a reason for giving them hair it’s not just because i like hair and redesigns #my hair is actually just unstyled feathers because i want. i want them to be fluffy okay. do you understand

I want to replay DA2; I miss my husband Anders so much and it was so fun but. Literally how will I ever make it past All That Remains again. The first pass nearly killed me. But I can’t beat Act 2 without it. But I can’t go through that again. But I have to replay DA2. But I’ll die. But I-

#every day I look at DA2 replay and All That Remains is The Horrors™️ bouncer guarding the door #dragon age 2 #like that quest traumatized me. I think I’ve cried every time I explained it to so #someone. I… but I want to replay. I miss my husband and I miss my friends. I loved the letters updating you on quest outcomes years later. I #love Bethie I love Mom I love Isabella and Merrill I love the Arishok fuck I miss him. I mean I don’t regret my /choice/ because it would be #the epitome of unfair for Isabella to pay for the second selfless act of her life on a scale to rival the first. but god I regret having to #end where we ended and I know he did too. DA…is a tragedy… anyway I miss the looming terror of trying to protect my husband from pulling a #Zero Requiem I miss Aveline’s stupid bad flirt quest I miss that time Anders said ‘her kind will betray u tho when it’s u or demon. blood #Mages do that.’ and I went ‘no way she’d never’ and immediately Merrill tried to kill me for a demon but later said ‘I’m sorry 🥺’ so we all #forgave her bc. Merrill. baby sister number 2. I miss the insanity. I miss Bethany killing 30 Templars on her own in 4 seconds while the #rest of us just stared like ‘tf the wardens feeding her??? infinity stones?!?’ I miss people telling me about their lives I miss being #recruited to help the mage Underground Railroad I miss Hawke’s stupid sassy comments and making our w Anders. I miss the love I miss having #a least 3 companions who cared and asked about my welfare. #instead of just using me for therapy. I miss being punished for my decisions instead of random no win choices that shouldn’t be binary in #the first place. I miss being rogue girl flirt eldest daughter syndrome. I miss the VAs for my companions. I miss-

I didn't want to give him that chance

#dragon age #da art #da fanart #dragon age 2 #fenhawke #another redraw #but this one is because I don't like Hawke's hair in Inquisition #also this playthrough Hawke's a mage #but I missed my rogue so #rogue armour it is #garrett hawke #forgot the Garrett tag

[ndostairlyrium]

What's with DG and Varric, he always wants to kill off Varric. Did Varric broke your toilet? Did he steal your silverware at some point?

#spritz is kicking in #I know he's like #written to be killed off because the hero's journey bs and he's basically a rogue gandalf #I mean #I would *love* if your relationship with him was developed in that sense #but I'm afraid it's just shock value territory #just like the warden vs hawke choice #I'm kinda tired about it tbh #I'm putting the #david gaider critical #tag because of that #I don't like this I'm sorry

[rhetoricalrogue]

Which of your OCs would be most likely to get arrested and why?

Vivian and Gavin Hawke (as the eldest set of Hawke twins, they’re most likely to be partners in crime) because both of them are “throw punches first, think of consequences later” types with short fuses to their tempers and sarcastic mouths with very little filters.

Zoe Dawson has been arrested for arson, namely because she flicked a lit cigarette into her professor’s car through the cracked window, hoping to just singe the upholstery after he sided with her (very recent) ex-boyfriend’s accusations that she plagiarized his journalism essay final paper instead of the other way around without hearing her side or even looking at the evidence she had to clear her name. Instead of an unfortunate cigarette burn, some papers caught fire and a partially opened and spilled bottle of booze under the driver’s seat accelerated the blaze and she wound up torching the car instead.

Gabriel Hawke, most likely because he was an accessory to some crime/trespassing charge his cousin Alex committed and unlike the Trevelyan side of the family, he can’t parkour or sprint for shit and would most likely be the one the cops catch. Alex would make it up to him by posting bail and then buying like a month’s worth of tacos or trips to Gabe’s favorite pancake place.

#thanks for the ask! #vivian hawke #gavin hawke #gabriel hawke #alexander trevelyan #zoe dawson #Alex has a lifetime of rogue training from his dad Rolfe #gaggle of hawkes au meets next gen heroes #the arson charge got cleared from her record when Zo did community service at Wayhaven PD and because Rebecca pulled some strings #Zoe was PISSED that her mom did that for complicated reasons but the community service time made her change professions #the fact that Hot Shot Reporter Bobby wound up covering a small town lifestyle section after messing up in the city makes her day

scrolling through my own published fics and one summary has a character referred to as the Champion, and having to reorient myself to read that as Vax, Champion of the Raven Queen, and not Hawke, Champion of Kirkwall

#this has been a post #vax would like my dual wielding purple rogue hawke #i mean. that basically IS just vax #ah. hmmmm #vox machina da2 au with vax and vex in the role of hawke #and their little sister. cannot remember her name. in the younger sibling's role #it writes itself #scanlan as varric #keyleth as merrill #percy as sebastian #an argument could be made for grog as fenris #i. uh. guess. pike. as. anders? #okay pike doesn't really have a good analogous character #i said percy as sebastian because a noble taking vengeance against the people who killed their family is too easy #but. percy as fenris tho. #briarwoods and danarius parallels #THE SECRETLY ALIVE SISTER #okay wait percy as fenris they have the same snark #wait fenris would hate this parallel so much fjkdls #casting the guy who famously made a deal with a demon in the role of the guy who famously hates people who deal with demons #i say 'a' deal as if percy's solution to multiple problems wasn't to make a deal with demons #not his fault only one of those panned out #danarius really is both delilah and sylas tho #hhh okay okay i'm done i'm done #i'm having a hard time placing pike tho i'm just making her anders coz healer but like #oh waiiitttt pike is most like bethany i think but that doesn't mesh with vex/vax being hawke #unless. you make. grog. hawke #grog can be hawke. he'd have a much easier time with the arishok #hmmmm qunari hawke au #okay no stopping this tag train before it gets out of hand (it already is)

[kirkwallfightclub]

I’ve gone from 1 (…and a half) hawkes to a full five potential playthroughs by planning out specialisations. my favourite two are:

big mean red hawke mage who is actually a full support spirit healer (bonus points — he’s romancing merrill for the best juxtaposition. please imagine this big scary looking guy and this adorable bubbly woman and then she stonefists you into oblivion what he stands at the back yelling “GET HIM BABE”. this is my vision)

and… my evil templar-supporting blue hawke… who is also. a blood mage. I have no idea if there’s any reactivity for this but the Implications alone are very fun, very meaty

#I say evil because in 2 above the other games supporting the templars seems so egregiously awful #they’ll be more complicated than just ‘evil’ but i don’t imagine they’ll be very sympathetic #I also have an archer to romance fenris and a force mage romancing isabela #not in that order I’ll probably do fenris last unless I’m really hankering to play a rogue #when I’ll play this I have no clue because I’m. I’m going to replay my andersmancing warrior first. #because I have great self control 👍 #(i do want to finish an origins replay first) #hawke is such A Guy that it’s been hard to conceptualise different hawkes. but now I’m really excited to get back to 2! woo #also it’ll be interesting to play with carver! I barely know him it’s only by fandom osmosis and what little you get in the intro #EDIT: wait wait. hawkes but they’re names like the spice girls scary hawke baby hawke etc. is this anything.
