Whoa, immediate response on that one. Currently, Anders and Cullen. Anders I headcanon as having pretty extensive joint problems/pain in his hands (gotta project my problem onto one of my favorite characters don't you know.) Cullen I'll talk about more once I'm done working it out cause it has to do with how I view lyrium and its effects. Now that I think about it, Varric probably has back and hip pain.

In addition to the tapetum lucidum I headcanon elves as having tiny sharp teeth and a sense of smell and hearing that's far better than humans. My post on expressive elf ears has already gotten like 20k notes so you guys know my stance on the too lol

Also all elves are cats and you will never ever tear that away from me.

Last one for the night: elves' ears twitch in their sleep when they’re dreaming.

So I've been thinking about my ~official game canon~ and I'd love some input/ideas.

I want Theron and Anders to be together. That's the first thing. 

So to get that to happen, the events of DA2 either don't happen, or happen very differently, because Anders will be with Theron during that 7 years. What they'll be doing in that 7 years could be damn near anything but what's important is this: 

Does the Chantry explosion happen in Kirkwall? It seems like it has to for the Seekers to look for Hawke. So if it happens, who did it? 

How do Theron and Anders react to the false calling? Stroud seems to know it's fake, but clearly the other wardens don't. Since Theron faced an archdemon, would he be better suited to knowing the difference?

Souris was supposed to be my "kiss everyone" Lavellan, but Kallias took that role, and I don't really feel that from her anymore. How dare characters have a mind of their own.

Can you imagine how cold it must have been in Kinloch Hold though? Tall tower. Middle of the lake. In Ferelden of all places.

I bet the wind rattled the shutters. I bet it seeped in through every crack in the mortar and left the mages—the ones not sleeping close enough to the fire, or with privileges for extra blankets—shivering too much to sleep. And there would be joints aching from the cold and ice on the basins in the morning, and as soon as you finally shook off the chill enough to feel alive again the sun would already be setting.

So, by all rights, Anders shouldn’t like the cold, but Theron is warm and soft and burrows under the blankets, with his nose against Anders’ collarbone. There are more than enough blankets on their bed, and it’s close enough to a fire to never get as cold as those apprentice bunks, so it's Theron that feels the cold first and responds—just as cat-like as ever—by trying to get close enough to steal his warmth.

So now he likes the cold because it’s something else he can share with Theron.

Sosigenes doesn't read very well. A product of Dalish practicality and his interest in artistic pursuits rather than scholarly ones has left him functionally illiterate. 

So just imagine. 

Skyhold book club. 

Menadora and Sosigenes Lavellan curled up with Varric in front of the fire. Sosi's head on his big chest, Menadora's on one of his legs. Sosi listening to the vibration in his chest and the heartbeat behind it while Varric reads Hard in Hightown aloud--doing all the voices.
