swooping is bad

What if, when he kisses the Inquisitor for the first time it is also when he has to deal with a sudden onslaught of just how numb that area is. He can't focus on the feeling of the kiss as much as he would like because his brain is too focused on trying to feel something where he can't.

It used to be this way with eating and talking, but he got used to it. It became duller with experience. Then the lyrium withdrawals made it loud again for a time but then he got used to that again.

Ship Tournament — Round #2 / Match 7 of 44

Anders/Solas

"For propaganda I am linking this sunlight-shunlight post"

"consider: solas meeting an embodiment of justice that actually cares about people, and does stuff like "works for 7 years in a free clinic helping the poor" and "blows up theocratic institution to start a rebellion, fully expecting to die in the process". after his eons and eons of fighting losing battles in arlathan, eking out increasingly pyrrhic victories in the hopes of a better future, and finally waking up alone into this grim, doomed, blight-riddled and magic-less world... he sees someone who has the same type of earnest firebrand energy he had and then lost thousands of years ago. and this guy is a fucking human grey warden of all things. anders meeting someone who's clearly a kindred spirit (ahaha). understands how to interact with him and justice in a way that's effortless, even when it's scary or difficult for other people to deal with. has these strange but compelling ideas on magic and spirits and personhood, and argues for them without hesitation. zero chantry ideology or ingrained fear of templars whatsoever. has somewhat bizarre views on elves but will argue for them just as confidently. does stuff like "wander off to help random refugees" without seeming to even think about it. has extremely specific and helpful insurgency tactics ted talks, but seems embittered about things, is utterly isolated even from other elves, and cagey about his past, in a way which suggests something went really badly for him. and then they kiss further propaganda art"

vs. Bull/Vivienne

"Just thinking about what could happen in their bedroom makes me blush. The Iron Bull respects Vivienne a lot, and he likes to be used as an object. Match made in heaven."

They finally share the bed

First in the hopefully many in a series of Evanuris designs I'm doing. This was supposed to be a sketch but it snowballed, as per usual.

The foreground decor is inspired by @postboxrose recent illustrations. Please check her art it's super awesome!
