Babes, everything is queued as I don't have the mental energy to post proper content. Please enjoy the amazing artwork I reblog from cool artists and actually funny people ā¤ļø Main Blog - @spoopynatural
so funny in dragon age inquisition where everyone was like "hoooly fuck. can solas shut up. can he stop talking about spirits and the fade for 5 fucking secondsss." is like if you had a coworker who texted you nonstop like "broooo I love surfing i love the sea š¦šāµš haha water and shit yo. man let's hit some waves let's cowabunga let's swim with the fishiessss haha hmu" and then you find out he's poseidon
hate solas or not romance him or not whatever like. i dont understand how he doesnt drive everyone CRAZY as a character.
like. have you ever just sat and thought about. what it must be like. the trauma. the shakespearean sadness of being the only person that remembers DEATH not being a thing.
and you feel so insane because youre going around telling people āno you dont understand the world as it exists now is fucking horrible people used to not DIE.ā and theyre like āits fine as it is just let it be and let us live and die as we areā, desperate for you to acknowledge their personhood. Meanwhile your entire race is the victim of genocide and slavery and cultural erasure, what little magic remains in the world is shunned and mages are systematically imprisoned for being fucking born and people die of old age and its because of you. and now its your cross to bear to atone for ALL of that and justify to people that the world could be better but no one else knows anything different so they dont get it and just know they dont want to die.
And so the only way you can cope with the trauma of that is by treating the world and everyone in it like itās a bad dream.
Its just so existential. Itās like what if you could talk to God and ask him why he made the world but he was just some vaguely pathetic dude and his answer was āit was a mistake and i regret it every dayā.
Varric Tethras is such a crazy and fun character cause it's like. Imagine getting recruited into a special Catholic Church paramilitary demon fighting, apocalypse-stopping task force and celebrated novelist Neil Gaiman with a crossbow is there as part of your squad.
Heights Based off Official Model Scales, Dev Words, or Lore specified
Here to ruin everyone's day with this because honestly I find it delightful and fits into the feral and desperate need I have for Thedas to be experiencing mega fauna and flora.
Going from shortest to tallest we have this:
Varric - 5'3 (160.02cm) [Source]
Morrigan - 5'8 (172.72cm)*
Alistair - 6' (182.88cm) [Source]
Dorian - 6' - 6'2 (182.88-187.96cm)*
Solas - 6'5 (195.58cm) [Source]
The Iron Bull - 8' (243.84cm)*
Elaboration (Below the Cut)
Morrigan:
Morrigan's figure isn't listed anymore, but I grabbed a screenshot and with the help of a friend who has her statue, Morrigan is 5'8 sans heels.
Dorian:
When asked about Dorian's height, David Gaider specified that: "He is as tall as the character artists made him." [Source]
So, without giving bias, I put Dorian's height at a range due to the fact he is the ideal proportions at 8 heads tall which by modern industry standard means he's 6'2, but by earlier standards means he's 6'. Since we can't really tell which height the artist is going for, I put the range. But considering current standards I would say he's 6'2.
The Iron Bull:
In World of Thedas vol. 2 p. 255 they have the description that he is 8' tall.
Everyone in the Chargers is someone who can look at an eight-foot horned giant and say, 'Yes, I trust that man with my life.'
If you're wondering if that includes the horns? Up to you, its not specified. If you want to do sans horns, they math out to adding roughly 5" to his had according to his gaming heads model. Which would make him 7'5 (226.06cm).
Finished this!
I desperately needed to draw them at Halamshiral.Ā
Ā Ah my heart. Solas just steals it away again and again. Many thanks to Patrick Weekes for successfully infiltrating my life with this character. <3
Aaaand I forgot to draw her Vallaslin and her one thumb is on the wrong side. Kill me now. (Letās blame it on Solas. He is too distracting.)
It's a shame we never talk about parallels of Dragon Age and the greatest story humanity ever created - Barbie. The lady is a trickster with multiple identities and no one knows which one is real. The astronaut, the mermaid, the lawyer, the princess etc. So as the Fen'Harel right? The hobo, the fade expert, the traitor, the Dread Wolf, the bard (+ limited boyfriend edition). Both of them hanging out with someone who were made to be awesome yet understand nothing of what's going on and knows ever less than understand. (Ken. It's Ken and the Inquisitor). So is it really impossible to say Barbie = Fen'Harel?
