Your kiss pulls me to the light - Isha and Heinrix share an intimate moment in the Lord Captain's quarters in chapter 23 of Much Ado About The Lord Captain; painted by the wonderful @annahenriart <3
Anna, your talent is perhaps only surpassed by your generosity! I will treasure this gift forever, it perfectly encapsulates Isha and Heinrix's relationship. I'm still stuck on the many details you included, from the roses on Isha's dress, the champagne and caviar, to Heinrix's almost fairytale outfit. In one word: perfection! I love, love, love this so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for surprising me with this amazing piece of art! <333333
I have a lot of Opinions™️ about how to describe the height difference between Hawke and Varric in fic/general discourse. I believe everyone is allowed to HC their Hawkes as different sizes and body shapes, so this is all based on the body models for the characters from the games. Look closely and you’ll find that their size difference shouldn’t get in the way of certain physical interactions (including sex) as much as one might imagine.
I pulled the models from DA2 and assumed Hawke to be of average height, which helped gauge Varric’s approximate height:
Their torsos are more or less the same length, Varric’s being slightlyyy longer:
Sitting down (in a standard human-sized chair) they are more or less eye to eye, even when Varric is standing:
If Hawke drops to her knees, she reverses the height difference and is now chest level with Varric. Excellent for motorboating, but doesn’t bring her to eye level. Unless they’re both sitting or she’s sitting and he’s standing, or some stairs or other inclines are involved, they’re not going to be at eye-level.
Very Serious attempts at depicting different sexual positions beneath the cut lol (mildly nsfw I guess, since they’re just outlines)
Should they want to go down on each other while the other is standing, Hawke will have to sit back on her heels and lean down. Varric just has to get on his knees:
And while there are a myriad of sexual positions to discuss with differences in size, the most contested sends to be missionary, which - despite the t pose nature of this graphic lol - should line up the same as two humans typically should:
Perhaps I will make more images of this important resource in the future lol, maybe I’ll even bust out blender and their character models for 3D examples, but until then, I hope this was somewhat helpful in demonstrating the height differences between my two faves. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk 💕
Cassandra: You’ve said you don’t believe you’re chosen. Does that mean… you also don’t believe in the Maker?Gwen: I believe He exists.Cassandra: You do? I’m surprised, but… I suppose it’s comforting. Surely the Maker put us both on this path for a reason. Now it simply remains to see where it leads us.

No one’s going to recognise me. Honestly, Varric, your rather… inventive storytelling has been working in my favour. Everyone’s expecting some impossibly tall hero with a figure that could make an Orlesian swoon. I, thankfully, don’t fit the part. Besides, you never could get my hair right in that book of yours.
