♤ : Taking a bath together

nonsexual acts of intimacy || accepting ( @blightedmagi )

To be honest, Alistair isn’t even sure how they managed to fit in the tub. His knees are pressed tightly to Norah’s sides and he can’t move an inch, but that doesn’t seem to bother the redhead at all; she hums happily as she washes the soap from her hair, as if this was completely normal.

Maker, could this become normal? “I’ve lost all feeling in my left foot.” The words are mumbled into her hair, head tilted forward so his forehead is resting against the back of Norah’s head. “I actually don’t think it’s attached anymore. Can we hold a funeral for it?” A snort of laughter escapes the mage between his legs and she fights to quickly cover it up before smacking his calf.  "So .. is that a no, then?"

What is your muse’s tragic flaw?

You Got: Self-Doubt

Think of the toughest, meanest, least understanding person you've met in your life. Your inner voice is ten times as cruel. The fact that you've managed to accomplish anything despite that bully is a miracle. Do yourself a favor. Next time you start telling yourself there's no point in trying, have a quiet talk with your inner voice, and tell it to buzz off.

♡ + Grey Wardens, the Calling, and the Warden Conflict

♡ + headcanon meme || accepting ( @blightedmagi )

get ready for some feelings ™

the grey wardens

the wardens are alistair's family. he didn't find a sense of purpose and belonging until duncan recruited him despite having grown up in the chantry and training with the templars. with the wardens, alistair was finally able to feel as if he could truly help the world. he believed and hung on to every word that duncan said, and when he died at the battle of ostagar, alistair felt lost. in his main verse, alistair leaves ferelden and heads to the free marches to help organize the wardens at ansburg; a move that was very good for him. he found another purpose in training and helping the wardens of ansburg, finally coming into his own and taking the lead.

the calling

okay so the calling is??? pretty shit. it's hard to be told that you're going to die way before you should and that you basically now have a deadline that you are all too quickly racing towards. but, at the end of the day, alistair would choose to become a warden every time the choice is presented to him. depending on the verse, he will either be deeply bothered by it (in the verses where he has significant others where they aren't a warden), or simply accept it. he would rather go out fighting than succumbing to blight sickness and he's going to make sure he takes out as many darkspawn bastards as he can.

the warden conflict

what the F UCK guys why are U LETTING DEMONS ?? POSSESS MAGES?? holy SHIT what in the HELL who is in CHARGE why are you all so stupid andraste's TITS

basically he's mad as hell and what the fuck was everyone thinking. but if we meant the situation between the northern and southern wardens he's still pissed as hell because why would the northern wardens ignore their southern counterpars? it doesn't make sense. w/e he's going to have to investigate.

Intimidation Meme

Sometimes it’s difficult for people to seek contact with each other because they can feel intimidated by others. Using this meme, you can send the symbols to my askbox that represent to you how intimidating I am to you. This way, it could be more clear to both sides how things are based on these feelings.

😗 - YOU ARE THE SOFTEST BEING. 😀 - I’m not afraid of reaching out to you. 😃 - To me, you are easy to approach. 😊 - I think you are a really friendly person. 😶 - I’m not sure if I can reach out to you. 😐 - You seem a little distant from others. 😓 - I feel like you would not really like me. 😲 - I’m afraid of reaching out to you. 😟 - I wish I had the courage to start talking to you. 😥 - I am very intimidated by you. I wish it wasn’t that way, because you seem cool. 😫 - I admire you from the sidelines because you seem cool and I’m just a dork. 😧 - Senpai, notice me???? 😦 - I feel really insecure when I want to reach out to you. 😨 - You intimidate me….a whole damn lot. 😭 - I wish I could be your friend but to me, you are so hard to reach out to. 😱 - I am so incredibly intimidated by you, it even makes me a little anxious sometimes. 💀 - OH MY GOD DON’T EAT ME PLEASE

headcanon meme || always accepting ( @maleficaes )

guys i always appreciate when you send memes in. like, please always feel free. they make my day.

✚ - health headcanon

so here's the really sad reality that alistair tries his hardest to forget: he's dying. he's going to die way sooner than he should and he can feel himself getting closer every day; every step forward like a march towards his death and there's nothing he can do to stop it. he knows it's only a matter of time until he will go into the deep roads to go out in that warden blaze of glory, so for now, he tries to ignore the pains that can't be explained away. he doesn't tell anyone when he coughs and there's blood in it. why should he? it's not their problem. while he didn't know exactly what he was getting himself into, he knew there was no going back.

♕ - childhood headcanon

alistair has a scar on his chest that he always gets incredibly shy about explaining. why, you ask? because he was a dumbass and made the mistake of walking behind a mule who decided she hated him in that very moment and kicked him so hard it knocked him off his feet and knocked the air from his lungs.

☂ - food headcanon

so cheese is great and all but alistair ?? doesn't really?? like it all that much. it's great because it keeps fairly well depending on the type which is important when you're traveling, as well as the fact it has a lot of nutrition for its relatively small size. but he's not crazy about it. it's .. okay.

n o r a h​

Her own gaze looks at his legs when he stretches them out, frowning. She wondered if they could find a way to slow down a bit, maybe take it easy for a day before going back on the road. All of this travel was going to wear them out and if the next place was going to be like the last, they were going to be in over their heads in no time. Her jaw works a bit before it opens, ready to offer to make something for him so his legs hurt a little less, but his tone changes. Her heart skips a beat when he says her name, eyes a bit wide, but she’s not sure why.

And… he’s asking about food. An amused smile crosses her lips and she sighs, during some of the dirt off her trousers before she’s standing upright, “There is, actually,” she says, thinking he had a change of heart at the last moment. Something in the way he had looked at her, spoke to her, and then pivoted aggressively. But, Norah doesn’t ask. Doesn’t want to make him feel pressured. Hands slide into her pack and pluck out a wrapped loaf of bread, giving it a shake at him before she’s moving back. This time, she sits a bit closer to him, legs touching and feet tapping against each other while she settles next to him, “Here. I know a growing boy like you needs his food.” An elbow nudges him, smiling. Oh Maker, she can’t help it, “Were you really going to ask about food?”

Where had she developed that ability to see through him? Alistair can’t help the way his eyebrows arch upwards curiously as he listens to her, eyes carefully watching her face in the lowlight provided by the fire. Orange and gold dances before them and casts shadows across Norah’s face that obscure most of her features -- but occasionally, then the fire cooperates with him -- he can make out the freckles that dust her cheeks. As the bread is pulled from her pack, a pang of guilt quickly washes across the Warden as he realizes that she’s about to offer him the last bits of whatever she has.

The feeling quickly vanishes when she nears him, eyes quickly darting to the ground as he feels a flush rise to his cheeks. Can she tell? Something tells him that she knew -- and there it was. Norah is gently elbowing him in the side as she hands him the bread, asking what his true intentions had been. He can’t help but sigh as he realizes that he has back himself into a corner. “I .. no.” Alistair didn’t care about the food. “I was going to tell you..” Maker, how did he even start?

“I really admire you, Norah. After everything we’ve been through, you somehow manage to not let it completely turn you against the world.” His smile is lop-sided and shy as he looks towards her. It wasn't an earth-shattering confession in the least, but to Alistair, it was still something.
