Ahh, thank you! :D Gonna go with Isethari for this, I think :D

💝 What is the dearest gift they have received?

Her bow! It was a gift from Ilen when she became old enough to go on her first hunt alone. For the first time in her life, she felt like someone she looked up to truly believed in her and what she could do. She… nearly broke it that same hunt, but he merely chuckled when she brought it back and showed her how to fix it and how to avoid making the same error that nearly broke it going forward. She still carries it even as a warden, it’s one of the few remnants she carries from her clan. There’s an ornate owl - her favorite animal - carved into the grip and carvings that are similar to her vallaslin up and down the limbs.

👜 What type of clothing is especially attractive to them?

Long, flowing silks generally - preferably dresses, too. Basically think things like you’d see elves from the LotR movies wearing and she digs it. Growing up in her clan, they always had to wear simple, practical clothes. And, while comfortable, it was never something Ise cared for the look of. It wasn’t until she visited the royal palace in Orzammar with her fellow wardens that she realized how much she loved the look of the flowing silks the nobles all seemed to wear. Then again when they were visiting Denerim and she saw things some of the more well-to-do folks wore. It was also in Denerim that Rylee nicked a silk dress from a vendor as a gift for Ise. A gift that she ended up wearing for her first to show it off (so she claims).

Thanks friend! All of them? Are you sure? This is gonna get long for Ell and Cass so I’m gonna pop it under a cut 

Shokrakar sat in his room, his spear settled across his lap, the blades on each end almost touching his walls. He ran a cloth with some polish across the handle, he liked when it sparkled and glimmered in the sun, especially in battle, sometimes he managed to distract enemies with it before he cut them down. He was in his element, there was nothing he loved more than being able to have a moment to just clean his weapon, sometimes he did other people’s just for the fun of it, it was a guilty pleasure of his and he really liked the smell of polish.

A small knock came from Shokrakar’s door, he made a small, surprised hum, he wasn’t expecting anyone? He lifted his spear and leaned it up against his wall, he placed the cloth and the polish on top of his dresser, he would get to cleaning it more later. He walked across his room to the door and opened it, Evelyn stood there, a large smile on her face, a basket in her hands. The basket had a small cover on it to hide what was inside but Shokrakar knew, he could smell it. Bread. His ears twitched with excitement.

“Is that what I think it is?” His eyes lit up, he couldn’t control his smile.

“It is,” Evelyn smiled brightly, lifting the basket up. “I thought I’d bring you a small treat, just a little thank you for training the soldiers, a lot of them praised your training saying they would have died if it wasn’t for you.”

Shokrakar grabbed hold of Evelyn’s arm and pulled her into the room, shutting the door behind her. Evelyn let out a small squeak as she was roughly dragged in, almost dropping the basket of bread. Once in the room, she leaned back against the door, looking up into Shokrakar’s bright eyes as they stared down at her. He moved in close, placing a large, rough, hand onto her cheek. He placed a small kiss onto her forehead then let out a happy sigh.

“I have never loved you as much as I do right now,” He hummed quietly, placing another kiss onto her forehead, and then another onto her cheek, then her jaw, and then one onto her neck, almost chewing as he moved his head lower. “You’re perfect.” He whispered, taking the basket from her. He placed it to one side, just for the moment.

Evelyn giggled and wrapped her arms around Shokrakar’s neck, giggling as his soft beard tickled her. “Nice to know I need bread to get your affection,” She teased. She knew Shokrakar loved her, he was loyal, devoted, and made her feel loved every single day, but Evelyn knew she would always have to compete with his love of bread. So rather than compete, she used it to her advantage, to show him she loved him just as much as he loved her. “You’re so silly.” She moaned gently as he nipped at her neck.

Do you want us to delete our reblogs of the original and reblog the new one?

Varric!

First impression

“I like his crossbow and he seems like a cocky guy. A jokester too! I like him a lot.”

Impression now

I adore him and the relationship he has with Hawke and how much he cares about them. I just....care a lot about Varric and his role in the events of Thedas and his relationship with all the characters.

Favorite moment

I honestly love meeting him at the beginning of DA2 since it’s a big moment of him being a big badass. Like shooting that guy, taking your money back from him, twirling the crossbow bolt. It’s probably my favorite character interaction.

I also really love the conversation you can have with him where he sounds a lot like a bard. where it’s like: “I like the idea that you can change the world with a story.”

Idea for a story

Hawke romancing Varric. Or just romancing Varric. I would pay to get that romance and to read some good shit having to do with it.

Unpopular opinion

I don’t like his relationship with Bianca

Favorite relationship

Varric and Hawke, hands down. There’s a reason I played DA2 the first time with him always in the party and that is for the sweet sweetness that is their relationship.

Favorite headcanon

I like the idea that the dungeons in DA2 can be kinda repetitive because Varric got tired of describing them/Cassandra just imagines them all the same. I understand the practical and technical reason, but I like that in canon reason for the dungeon maps all looking the same.

Krem!

First impression

“Alright where is that trans man I’ve heard so much about I need him stat, lemme love his face right exactly now!” I knew about Krem before playing the game, just like with Dorian, and was instantly wanting to just love him.

Impression now

I adore Krem and his story and how far he’s come and the love and acceptance he has. The Chargers aren't just his co-workers, but his family. He deserves the goddamn world, he does.

Favorite moment

”You still got plenty of ass left, Chief!!”

Idea for a story

He gets to live happily ever after with a nice family and a lot of dogs. So many dogs. all the freaking dogs and acceptance he can get. Tbh, I’ve debated on writing fic with him and Darva getting romantically involved because that would be some good shit.

Unpopular opinion

Idk if its unpopular, but I wish his voice actor was a trans man and not a cisgender woman. I also wish the dialogue options to talk to him weren't so gross at times and that you could be genuine and honestly intrigued about getting to know his feelings about himself without having to be gross and intrusive about his body.

Favorite relationship

I love his relationship with Bull. It’s my favorite little bromance in the game and I could read a whole sort of buddy cop, partners in crime fic series about the two of them.

Favorite headcanon

He made Darva a new binder not long after their arrival at Skyhold since the one he had was very old and worn out. Darva hadn’t the time to go and make a new one for himself, so Krem made him a whole new one with some decorative details on it. When I draw Darva in his binder, it’s usually the one Krem made for him.

Shokrakar entered into his quarters, sighing loudly as he closed the door behind him. “Evelyn,” He said bluntly, less of a greeting, more of an acknowledgment that she was there. He leaned his spear up against the wall, and shrugged off the furs that wrapped around his shoulders. Evelyn sat at the end of his bed, her arms folded across her chest, her brows furrowed a little. Shokrakar raised his brow and stood looking down at her. “What can I do for you?”

“Why have you been avoiding me?” Evelyn asked, getting straight to the point. Ever since her and Shokrakar had spent the night together she hadn’t seen him, or if she had he was walking in the opposite direction. It had been just over a week now and Evelyn was sick of it, at first she thought she was being paranoid but then they saw each other and he turned on his heels as quickly as he could.

Shokrakar stood in silence, a little in shock. He never thought she would actually question him on it, he thought she would just let it go and that would be the end of him. But, here she was, staring him dead in the eyes. “I…” He didn’t know what to say, he could tell her the truth and face painful rejection or lie to her, but lying wasn’t in his nature. “I can’t tell you.”

“Is it because of what she did?” There was a slight hint of pain in Evelyn’s voice. “Do you think less of me?” Doing the things they did was his idea but maybe that’s all he wanted from her, to test her and see how far he could get. She gave him everything and now he could barely look at her. He wouldn’t speak to her, he would leave a room when she entered.

“Of course I don’t!” Shokrakar snapped back at her. A little hurt that she would think that of him, although he couldn’t blame her, his behaviour had been out of the ordinary. He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed loudly. “It’s because…”

“Because what?!” Evelyn was growing impatient, they were going to discuss this whether he liked it or not.

“Because I love you!” Shokrakar snarled, a little aggressive for a man who was trying to confess his feelings. “I’m in love with you.”

“W-what?” Evelyn slowly stood up from his bed, his eyes a little wider than usual. “Shok…” She took a step forward, getting close to him. She placed her hands onto Shokrakar’s large chest and gazed up at him. “Are you finally confessing to me? Because I feel the same way.”

“Y-you knew?”

“I thought I did but then you began ignoring me and I just assumed-”

“When I’m around you...I can’t breath, I can barely eat, can’t sleep, I toss and I turn because I can’t get you out of my mind, Ev,” He placed his hands onto Evelyn’s cheeks, holding her gently. “I am not worthy of you, I never will be, but if you love me the way I love you...I will be completely and utterly devoted to you.”

Evelyn stroked Shokrakar’s chest slowly, a small giggle escaping her. “You’re quite the poet.”

Shokrakar walked into the tavern, it was getting wait and Evelyn wasn’t in bed yet, so he decided to go and look for her. He had been waiting for her to maybe get in some alone time with her but she hadn’t shown up, but he knew exactly where to find her. She was sat at the back of the tavern with Iron Bull and his chargers. Shokrakar let out a little smile and shook his head, walking over to them.

“Hello all,” He laughed, placing his hand onto Evelyn’s shoulder. “I’m gonna have to steal the beautiful, Evelyn away from you all.”

“Noooo!” Evelyn whined. “Join us, Shokky!”

“Yeah, come on, Shok!” Bull laughed holding out a beer to Shokrakar. “Just one?”

Shokrakar sighed loudly, and looked around. All of the chargers were watching him, he didn’t want to seem boring. “Fine, let me find a chair.”

“No need!” Evelyn grinned. “Sit here.” She patted her lap slowly, seriously inviting Shokrakar to sit on her.

Shokrakar raised his brow and looked down at Evelyn. “Kadan, I-” He took a deep breath and bit into his lip. “Evelyn, if I sit on your lap...I will crush you, the more appropriate thing would be for you to sit in my lap.”

Evelyn let of huff and rolled her eyes. “That’s boring!” She whined around, continuing to pat her lap. “C’mon, Shok, you usually like it when I’m under you.”

Bull and a couple of other Chargers had to hide their grins behind their mugs, giggling to themselves quietly. Shokrakar’s face turned bright red, he stood there in utter belief. He looked at the empty beers next to Evelyn’s seat, he couldn’t be too mad at her, but he could get out of this situation. He slowly lifted her out of her chair and threw her over his shoulder.
