tiny 🤲🏻 Anders in gouache

i’m not beat up by this yet

you can’t tell me to regret

been in the dark since the day we met

Ship Tournament — Round #1 / Match 18 of 88

Antoine/Evka

"They are just so cute! They are married, they laugh and enjoy life together, and they kill darkspawn together. Over the presumably years of their relationship they've never lost their spark. And I love the dynamic of tiny chaotic fun dude and his superbly badass girlfriend who have come to save everyone's day. Those two are just the best!"

"They have notes for each other when the other dies. Antoine's reminisces about how the first thing Evka fell in love with when she came to the surface was birdsong. Evka's is written in a secret language that only they can read: a final goodbye that is solely for him. <3"

vs. Anders/Justice

"Listen it's got everything. Two worlds colliding, genuine attempts to understand, to change the world. Then the tragedy of choice between bad and worse and the one you thought was bad might have actually been the worse one. But then the beauty, too, of coming together for the greater good, of spitting in the face of what the world says is "allowed" and "acceptable" and in the inherent queer allegory that comes with any sort of consensual union between two being considered "an abomination". It can be horror or hope, depending on how you want to read it, and both of those are compelling narratives And, really, they are both THE characters of the franchise, given that it was both of them responsible for the thing everyone's still arguing about 15 years later and you can't talk about the game without talking about it. They're the pairing of all time too, as who is more paired then those who become one being? Isn't that what all our fave codependent otps wish they could do, deep down? Plus possession is SEXY!!!!!"

Andraste names Shartan her champion

Local Hawke man at a fancy party but he'd rather be in the sewers. For reasons.
