little blog update because it’s my birthday: i’m going to be low/sporadic activity on this and all my blogs! I’ve been anyway, but coming out and officially saying that will make me feel less stressed and probably enable me to come back on here to write more often!

replies won’t happen today, used up my spoons accidentally. feel like shit, probably going to cry again

This took longer than I wanted it to. But ah, at least I got it done. I thought maybe I should actually make a design for power-corrupt!Sebastian rather than just drawing portraits all the time.

There’s enough about this picture that irks me but I don’t want to spend any more time on it. I’ll be designing Anders next. Which will be more simple. Aw yesss.

‘Your mages’. The words smarted like the burn of an unseen cut. He was unsure why.

“For what good that’s been,” he said derisively, though the acidity was not directed towards the prince. “With the blood being spilled in the streets every night it’s a wonder they aren’t stained crimson by now. We’ve had a lot to contend with. The Gallows could barely hold refugee mages from Ferelden, and now we’ve an influx from Starkhaven.”

It was, by all accounts, a mess of a situation even without the apostate blood mage factor.

“I shouldn’t burden you with these troubles. Your work for the Chantry cannot go unlauded. Many of our citizens have found peace in Andraste and the Maker. Small comforts are still comforts at the end of the day.”

     If calling the mage population Cullen’s had stung him, then it was sure to be no surprise that Cullen’s reminder that there were now refugees from Sebastian’s own home city-state stung the prince right back. It was only fair, if one looked to religion. After all, in Chantry readings there was at least one count of a mention of ‘an eye for an eye’. 

     “ And I will have you know, Knight-Captain, that the Chantry tries its hardest every day to prevent more bloodshed. Unfortunately, there is only so much we can do in the face of corruption and greed. Those who do not wish to be saved cannot be forced into submission to the Maker. ” He shakes his head and allows his features to contort with the pain he feels for the people of Kirkwall and their suffering. It’s too much for the few in the Chantry to stop alone. 

     “ Despite that, if there is a single thing which we servants of Andraste can do for the mages, you only need ask. Or — for the templars. Too few of you visit the Chantry. I do worry for your souls. ”

This is part of a series of fanarts, but it deserves its own post. So here is a Sebastian ;)

*dusts off this blog*

Hi. Sebastian is greysexual or possibly entirely asexual, a tad bit on the sex repulsed side (as in, it’s kind of really gross and genitalia are weird-looking), absolutely doesn’t see a need at all for any of that in a fulfilling relationship! Who needs sex when you can cuddle and fall asleep, or give your stressed SO a massage, or surprise them with their favourite food? Exactly. He’s happy without sex and doesn’t feel that he’s missing out on anything especially because his acts of rebellion back when his family was alive and he was young and in Starkhaven was acting out through immense promiscuity. It was worth it for the rumours and the press, he actually got little to no enjoyment out of it! But that’s okay too, ace people are allowed to have sex thanks

Sebastian briefly narrowed his eyes at the other Starkhavener. Her words struck a chord with him that she likely hadn’t expected them to, he certainly hadn’t expected them to. And yet, here he was; for all of his time spent with the Chantry, he still found himself given to emotions occasionally. Alas, he was never destined for such a life as befitted a Chantry brother (and yet, another part of himself felt that he was not made to be a prince either). 

“And what is that supposed to mean, then? Commentary on my own past choices - or perhaps your own?”
