Page themes for characters

I made two themes for a character profile page and a character navigation page, and figured I’d share them. Feel free to edit as much as you want, although I would appreciate it if you leave the credit please. Have fun!

Character profile page theme

Character navigation/network page theme

preview/code

Go ahead and make this a navigation page for other stuff too, it’ll work for that too I think.

Go ahead and message me if you need help. I’m kinda new to HTML and CSS, so there might be a couple glitches depending on what you add, but I don’t think there will be? idk I might share a blog theme that matches these later.

I might try and re-do these, I forgot that I might want a kind of dark-ish spacey theme for my blog and stuff, oops. But at least it’s good practice!

Skintones for POC companions in Dragon Age

Whitewashing is a huge problem in every fandom, and DA is no exception. All of the characters above are whitewashed and have their skin lightened on a daily basis. 

There is no excuse when someone whitewashes a character. Take your appropriate swatches if you must, and make sure you are staying true to the characters actual skin tone. Use these colours if you’d like - they were more meant to prove a point. You are certainly welcome to use them as a base.

Stop whitewashing POC. Stop lightening skin, stop slimming down features, and stop blaming whitewashing on lighting. You know better than that. You can do better than that.

Do not take swatches from the lightest part of the face - all the light colours shown here are meant for highlighting purposes. They are the highlights of the face, to be used to display light bouncing off the surface of one’s skin.

Every image of the characters except Josephine was taken from the dragon age wiki site and was only altered to fit and blend with the pictures. All other graphics are mine.
