All of my dragon age inquisition companion portraits together 🥰
"You're a Failure, and your family died knowing it."
I finally finished it!
I got majorly distracted with only 2 sections of this left, and it gathered dust for a bit. But here it is! All the angst!
My Emmit Hawke, purple and unromanced. He's just very tired and never given a break, so might as well strand him in the Fade, right? (I love my Hawke, promise)
There was originally a part 2 that has a bit more of a hopeful tune to leaving him behind, but I dunno if I'll get to that. We'll see.
What are you doing, Solas?
inspired by this incredible Iron Bull and Solas chess game edit by LethallanTV
Dragon age inquisition is fun and games until you realise that some of the content in the game is absolutely mental.
You hear the struggles of a gay man in Dorian. And how acceptance is still a far reaching concept even for parents, let alone society. I bawled my eyes out when he said "I'm never what you wanted". He was the only son and imagine thinking that you weren't what your parents hoped you would be just because you preferred men.
You hear about the struggles of trans people in Krem. Jesus fucking Christ, I have literally no words for this. When he tells us that how his father accepted (in contrast to Dorian's unaccepting father), I think I tore up a little. He shares with you how good it felt to be pretending to be a man when he was little. And God, this character will always have my heart. And can't forget Bull's "THEY ARE REAL MEN. JUST LIKE YOU ARE." 😭❤️
You learn about the struggles of drug addiction in Cullen. There are no words to say that I haven't already said or thought about Cullen. But this quest is titled "perseverance" and jfc, if that's not Cullen's whole character in a nutshell. A character so driven to service and helping that he marked his body permanently forever to achieve it. And then to change your views, to overcome and maintain a clear head while this drug is always on the back of your mind and your dreams are just terrible because of the lack of it.... I don't know how Cullen stands up and does his job every day for the entirety of inquisition. And please, please, don't give him lyrium. He looks broken when he takes it again and I've only seen that frame once in my life and I honestly can't watch it again.
You hear about the minutiae of being real in Cole. I have even less to say about Cole. The concept of spirit/human is a bit fast and loose in Da inquisition than it is in previous titles. But the cornerstone is forgiveness or letting go. You can't relate to Cole but you can relate to these choices. And it's fascinating to see Cole as a human, doing human things, making friends, falling for the bard in the tavern. And even better is his spirit quest line, which I personally like because Cole seems happier after it. And it produces good dialogues between him and varric and solas.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg really. You hear so much stuff about love and life and doing the right thing or wanting to do the right thing and it's just one the reasons that even after a decade later, this game remains so popularly talked about.
Bioware really did god's work in this game. ❤️
I totally get the strict cullen parent headcanons, HOWEVER I don't think he would be
all throughout dai people make jokes abt how he's a stick in the mud, sera calls him general uptight, etc etc but he's so soft for the inquisitor
I note how his voice softens when speaking with the inquisitor. if you side with the mages and you go to shrine of dumat, when speaking with him he's serious, some anger towards Samson in his voice, but when you ask why he's coming his voice gets so soft saying he'd sleep better knowing he was by your side
he gets vulnerable before sending you off to corypheus, praying you return safely. he tells you he doesn't dance, but for you he will. he offers you his most prized possession for luck. the silly lil boyish smile he has after his kissing scene
there's also his hug scenes!!!!! when you return from defeating corypheus, before you go off into the eluvian for the last time, when he's praying for your safe return in the chapel. they're so tender...
in non-romantic instances, he's happy, joking and relaxed when he plays chess with dorian, whom he considers a friend. he starts off grumbling during wicked grace but loosens up and laughs with people he trusts
ofc he's a stern commander, he takes work very seriously, but around people he loves, cares about, or just people he trusts, he melts a little. I think there's that untapped softness within him
he wouldn't be a strict dad, I think he'd melt for his kids and they'd have him wrapped around their lil fingers 🫶🏽
*if you dislike cullen, don't leave hate on this post, you can do that on your own post thank you*
My apologies in advance for what this may do to your dash. I just love broad shouldered men with brown eyes and a heart of gold and I cannot be stopped from collecting them all.

Achilles and Patroclus sketches!
I remember seeing an college AU of track star Achilles swooning over pre med student patroclus and I think that so mushy cute❤️
OOFs thanks for the au that would keep me well-nourished for a long while. big thanks to the owner of this au too!!!
why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Starting off the year with some outfits for the fave :D
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
Floorplanner. Design and furnish a house for you to use for having a consistent background in your comic or anything! Free, you need an account, easy to use, and you can save multiple houses.
Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.
Smithsonian Open Access. Loads of free images. Free.
SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.
AI art bros are big mad about it.
idk is this anything?

Nagisa-kun's not just a cutie (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶🔥
(Reference from "Shikimori's not just a cutie")
recently i’ve been doodling a bit of karunagi in my spare time
a season of farewells, and a promise to meet again
Really Shiro?? You gonna play her like that?
Please watch Avo Rabo, their Voltron reaction videos are the funniest things in the world
(TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN BEFORE WATCHING)
What REALLY happened in Voltron Season 8
It’s been a year, I’m not over this and probably never will be, but this made me feel better and really happy.
So, in no particular order here’s what I think actually happened in Voltron season 8. I needed to make this happen.
This directly follows my “What REALLY Happened in Voltron Season 7” headcanons.
Keith confessing to Lance while the sunsets, and Lance smiling and realizing this what was he needed and wanted before accepting and saying it’s about time.
Allura accepting that her feelings for Lance were only platonic, and realizing she still has strong feelings for Lotor and offers him a chance to start again slowly.
The two get together soon after Lotor gets further in his rehabilitation
Pidge making another rover to follow her around
Coran getting the Castle of Lions 2.0 and him loving everything about it
Shiro getting to hang out with the paladins and spend time with them out of uniform.
Everyone wearing their casual clothes and not their garrison jackets.
Keith: I don’t have my jacket anymore
Lance: That’s okay, I went shopping and got you a new god awful cropped jacket
Keith: …this is perfect and I’m never taking it off.
Shiro getting to keep and use his paladin armor after Coran made some upgrades.
Lance using his sword to save Keith in a fight
Lance: Heh, like that samurai?
Lotor teaming up with Matt on a side mission and the two of them talking about alien technobabble while Adam groans about having to go along with them.
Coran making friends with Iverson, Curtis, and Adam and telling them ALL about Altea’s histories and how to properlly brew a batch of nunville.
Lotor opening wormholes and controlling the teladuv in place of Allura when she leaves the Atlas to fight alongside the team
Hunk showing Shay around the Atlas and giving her a bracelet made of seashells.
Shiro and Adam holding hands on clear day and giving each other gross kisses on the cheek
Hunk singing the clear day song to Keith around the Atlas just to get on Keith’s nerves.
Lotor and Pidge working together to get Allura a dress like her altean ones and both failing before recruiting Romelle and Adam to help because Gays™ have a fashion sense right? Right?
Hunk helping to repair one of the MFE ships and being really bright and talkative about it
Pidge making a small robotic rose pin for her mom that blooms and changes color based on the chemical readings in the room.
Keith getting splashed with quintessence and taking on galra features for a while and getting judged for his apearance by some of the more prejudiced Atlas crew, but the team stands up for him.
Kolivan and Krolia finding that handfuls of Blade of Macaroni members survived and they regroup.
Matt outright flirting with different BOM members.
Lotor fighting against Honverva on a planet’s surface and saying she made her decision by choosing quintessence and power over her family, and how he’s making his desicion to stand by his new family.
None of that weird entity stuff or talking with the paladins of old, instead it’s a proper showdown and a solid face off between the paladins, Allura, and Lotor against Honerva and her own army.
Shiro talking to his family and missing them but knowing they love him.
Lotor joining the blade of marmora on a mission and realizing he could’ve had this community and comradery his whole life.
Adam mentoring the MFE pilots and giving advice on different things
James reluctantly apologizing to Keith about bullying him (the other MFE pilots made him do it) and Keith saying it doesn’t matter anymore, but looking obviously upset about it.
Rizavi: …good job Griffin, you made it worse.
Griffin: I WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO! IT’S NOT MY FAULT
Lotor and Acxa reuniting and having a solid platonic friendship.
Lotor teasing Acxa about her crush on Veronica
Shiro and Adam getting married.
Allura and Lotor holding hands and standing in a field of juniberries on New Altea before kissing gently and leaning against each other.
Pidge working with Matt and other technological geniuses to improve society and work together to build and make things better.
Hunk working on different planes and having his own private garage for his machines, but still having time to cook and hang out with his friends.
Shiro getting to relax and just be free for the first time in years.
Keith and Lance proposing to each other on the beach with the sunset in the background.
Matt becoming a Loreal hair model.
