OH MY ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Let’s see - it’s not much clear where the companions sleep, not all of them, anyway. Bull may sleep in that ruined room in one of the towers where his sex scene plays; Blackwall probably sleeps in the stables; Sera is the only one whose room is canonly shown. For the others, we can just assume they were all given their own room in the quarters tower, at the top of which there are the Inquisitor’s rooms.

There are also those rooms overlooking the inner garden. If I remember correctly, one of them is already occupied by an agent or worker of the Inquisition, who left a personal letter on the dresser. Another one is ruined and it hasn’t been repaired, so I doubt anyone sleeps there. There are only other two rooms, I think (or maybe even one, I can’t remember), where a companion may sleep.

It seems that Vivienne is using the balcony in the hall as her own personal study - I doubt she sleeps there, on the couch, but it’s clear how rich her life and habits are just by observing the precious things she surrounders herself with. It almost looks like she doesn’t have any more room in her quarters and had to put all the extra books and paintings she had on that balcony.

Same thing counts for Dorian - the nook in the library is his precious, safe space, but I can’t imagine him snoring on that armchair, so he probably has his own room in the quarters tower, which he filled with more books and precious stuff like Vivienne (and probably some bottles of wine, which he sometimes steals from the cellar, as Josephine reveals in an untriggered ambient conversation).

We don’t even know if Cole needs to sleep - he probably needs to in his more human form, but I doubt his more spirit nature does. So depending on that, he may either be given a room in the quarters tower - which he would fill with stones, pretty leaves, and trinkets found here and there - or simply stay in that space above the tavern, which he says he likes a lot.

Cassandra and Varric’s rooms are definitely practical and I don’t see them spending much time there - Cassandra spends most of her time training, Varric likes being where he can see and hear people, that is right in the hall, in front of the roaring fireplace. A book, cards, and a mug of ale is all he needs (Cassandra just needs a sword and a book and she’s set for the day).

As for Solas, I can imagine his room as being barely used, except maybe for the bed. He doesn’t own much and everything he needs is ready in his pack, so the wardrobe and dresser are empty, also because at first he expects to leave early and quietly, without arousing suspicion. Then, as more time goes on and he starts to actively live in Skyhold, with the people in it, the dresser and drawers get increasingly filled with spare clothes, new books, some pieces of armors, clean handkerchiefs, even gifts.

Of course, things get even more interesting if any one of them - Varric, Vivienne, and Cole not included - are romanced. Imagine all the cute details and things one would find in their room or in the Inquisitor’s quarters.

TBH it was very easy for me xD Because I keep only favorite pictures on my phone so I can have more memory space for music. My previous aesthetic post was quite ‘cold’ and I didn’t really like it, but I’m satisfied with this one.

p.s. on the 3d picture I stand between 2 planes, wishing one day to fly on them. p.p.s. on the 6th picture I have 3 aesthetics at the same time: 1) nail art, which I adore to make on my nails, 2) drumstick (because one of my dreams is to learn how to play drums), so now I’m just learning some tricks with it on my own and 3) music I can’t live without. So I kinda cheated in picking only 9 items xD

OH, THANK YOU ; v ;

I imagine Blackwall and Varric eating and drinking pretty hearty things: steaming stews, mead, ale, brown bread, cheese and some sausages, too. Blackwall doesn’t really look like an Orlesian, even in terms of general tastes and way of fighting, reasoning, speaking, and Varric complains to Hawke how disgusting Orlesian cuisine is to him (“Did you know that they eat snails here?”).

Vivienne and Dorian have of course refined tastes, but while Vivienne is perfectly used to - and content with - Orlesian dishes (but I can see her having a soft spot for simple things, like cookies and butter soup), Dorian likes richer tastes and doesn’t refuse to try new things, like Fereldan or Free Marcher dishes. I can see him pretending to wrinkle his nose at that baked fish that is so loved at Starkhaven, but actually craving for more after eating it. As for drink, we all know he loves wine and if the Antivan one is anything like our Italian one, he probably loves that one.

Cassandra eats everything, except for a few exceptions. She might come from a noble, rich house, but her childhood sounds terribly practical, surrounded by corpses that got more attention than her. I can see her and her brother being left alone for long periods of time; they could eat well and were never left wanting more, but there wasn’t the same attention and effort put into it like in, say, Dorian’s family. Also, when she became Seeker, her military, harsh life, even if high-ranked, led her to develop even simpler tastes and needs.

Same counts for Sera: you can’t have difficult tastes and be picky when you live in the streets as an elven girl. Even if she was raised by a human woman for a time, I doubt she could eat everything she wanted. We see her drink ale at The Herald’s Rest at Skyhold and she becomes drunk during the round of Wicked Grace, so she definitely loves alcohol.

Bull probably loves meat and fish, but also baked food. I can’t imagine him eating sugary stuff, but he may enjoy tarts and cookies from time to time - they don’t even have those in Seheron and Par Vollen! ;_;

As for Cole, that depends on whether he becomes more spirit or human. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need to eat and drink in the first case; in the second one, it will be like being born anew and discovering new tastes along the way. I can’t imagine him holding his liquor well, but he would avidly eat all the homemade pies and stuffed salty cakes he can find.

As for Solas, it’s canon that he doesn’t eat much, but often requests tea from the kitchen, which has to be made in a special way he explained to the cooks (World of Thedas 2). We know that he enjoys the Orlesian frilly cakes, though, and I’m pretty sure it’s also canon, by now, that he has a huge sweet tooth and always craves for more cakes and sweet things. He probably follows a light diet of meat and vegetables and I can picture him sitting content and happy with a steaming bowl of potato soup in his hand. ; v ;

Scarlet adores spicy stuff! She would add spices and pepper to any dish and she misses the delicate, but also tasty and strong Dalish food from her clan. She doesn’t drink alcohol - only on special occasions - and the only kind of “wine” she enjoys is the hot, Dalish one her clan would make during winter.

!!!! Oh my ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I personally headcanon Solas smelling mainly like paper and grass. You know, that old parchment smell that sticks to you after you spend a great deal of time among ancient books and yellow pages.

Grass because he wandered across Thedas and lived a secluded life, seldom washing his clothes (unwashed apostate hobo), which are also everything he owns according to the Art of Dragon Age: Inquisition, at least at the start of the game (although I bet the smell of grass and dirt lingers on him even after changing his robes).

Then, a faint scent of ink, paint, and sweat too. Solas seems to write down notes and study a lot in the rotunda, a true scholar, so he should be stained with ink, charcoal, and paint from the frescoes. Also he is confirmed to be a little bit shabby both by banter in game and the official artwork descriptions. I think he loses himself so much into his studies and art he hardly pays attention to his clothes and looks and doesn’t really care for them.

Apparently he was like that even in youth, during his time as Fen’Harel (“The Dread Wolf comes in humble guises”).

A romanced Solas also smells like Lavellan’s perfume and love ( ´ ▽ ` )

When it rains, he almost seems to smell like wet dog, but none of his companions can confirm that.

At the end of Trespasser, he smells like smoke, steel, and blood, but there is still a hint of grass underneath it all.

Alexis Trevelyan threw the book at Dorian. He caught it with a grin and an arch of his eyebrow.

“What’s this?” Dorian asked, fingering through the pages.
