ROUND 3 — Match 48 of 72

Dorian Pavus (Dragon Age: Inquisition)

Identity: Gay, explicit Notes: Can only be romanced by a male Inquisitor, references past male exes, can enter a relationship with Iron Bull (a man), and directly refers to himself as exclusively attracted to men in-game. Propaganda: 1, "Whether you go a romance or friendship route, Dorian is the best. Fiercely loyal to his friends and his country and under that dramatic exterior hides a massive nerd." 2. "dorian is such an obvious top-tier choice because he’s one of the most charismatic characters dragon age has ever had. he’s funny, vain, dramatic, ridiculously charming, and always ready with some cutting little comment, but he also has real emotional depth underneath all that. the game lets him be witty and entertaining without stopping there, and that’s a huge part of why he works so well. and for an lgbt character tournament specifically, he matters a lot because his story actually deals with homophobia in a way that hit hard for a lot of people. his conflict with his father is still one of the most memorable parts of inquisition for a reason. he’s not just “the gay companion,” he’s a fully realised character whose queerness is part of his life, his pain, and his relationships in a way that feels meaningful. he’s iconic, deeply loved, and absolutely one of bioware’s most important queer characters."

vs. Mazelinka (The Arcana)

Identity: WLW, explicit Notes: References a past female lover named Lilinka. Propaganda: 1. "MAZELINKA SWEEP. Old pirate lady who would absolutely roast you, feed you, and then hand you a weapon. That’s the whole pitch." 2. "she has that exact kind of presence where she turns up, says three words in a terrifying tone, and instantly becomes one of the best side characters in the game. she’s blunt, tough, caring in a very no-nonsense way, and just incredibly easy to love. and she also deserves credit for being an older queer character, which you really do not see nearly enough. her history with lilinka is part of the game’s world so casually that it just feels natural, and that honestly makes her even more charming. plus anyone who has a soft spot for julian and portia’s whole found family situation has to appreciate how important she is to that."

So my grandma gets this catalog, and they sell funny shirts. Some of them just struck me as ones they would wear. (Sort of spiritual follow up to the mug post I guess?) Just something fun and silly :)

Julian: I was with Portia?

okay i literally didnt know what else to title this. my first time drawing a scene!! AND ACTUALLY DOING THE BACKGROUND!! i was actually so proud of this little piece, it took me a while- i lowkey gave up effort last minutes but i still like the way it turned out,, i probably got some details of this scene off/wrong but this is how i interpreted it!! the scene where they're first all facing off the Devil in the Magician's realm and Andrea starts glowing with the magic of their connections like the Y/N he is (Book XX- Judgement, Chapter "Never Alone")

cause ah, yes. how else to defeat the devil but with the power of friendship?
