Ooooh mine is much much less grand, just teaching the alphabet because whenever I read a “Fenris is reading” fic he’s always at the sounding-out words stage

**************

I don’t know if I’ve ever read an alphabet fic either, actually.  Would love to see how your Hawke approaches it without it becoming childish i.e. “A is for Apple!” type of thing. XD  I’m not sure Fen’s patience would last through the alphabet song.  *grins*

For whatever reason, I read that and suddenly had the first few lines of this pop into my head (I blame most of the inspiration on “The Ghastlycrumb Tinies”)

A is for Abomination, like Anders the mage,
B is for Bereskarn, a bear full of rage.
C is for Chantry, dedicated to light,
D is for Darkspawn, the cause of the Blight.
E is for Elthina, Grand Cleric of Kirkwall,
F is for Fenris, an elf who is quite tall.
G is for Grey Warden, who turn darkspawn into carrion,
H is for Hawke, either Garrett or Marian.
I is for Isabela, a dread pirate queen,
J is for Jethann, a whore of keen mein.
K is for Kylon, a sergeant of the guard,
L if for Leliana, an Orlesian bard.
M is for Merrill, an elf with a mission,
N is for Norah, of friendly disposition.
O is for Orana, a maid once a slave,
P is for Petrice, who did misbehave.
Q is for Quentin, an evil necromancer,
R is for Riordan, who knew all the answers.
S is for Sebastian, a prince of a priest,
T is for Tamlen, who is sadly deceased.
U is for Uldred, an evil blood mage,
V is for Varric, a dwarf and a sage,
W is for Wynne, an elderly healer,
X is for Xenon, an artifact dealer.
Y is for Yevhan, with three foolish sons,
Z if for Zathrian, with whom this is done.

You know what I hate about the implication that Hawke has to work so hard to get into a relationship with Fenris while Isabela doesn’t? 

It’s not even fucking true. She doesn’t get with him until the third act either, and every time you go to visit him she’s hanging out over at his house. You don’t know how much time they spend together. You don’t know what kind of talks they’ve had. You don’t know how they’ve both bonded over being sexual assault survivors, or how the love of freedom makes them like one another, or how he laughs at her jokes and likes that she’s not trying to TIE HIM DOWN into a serious relationship. 

I mean, ship what you want to ship, but don’t be ignorant about it. 

theresidentdevil:

At first, this is really all I got from this conversation:

Anders: Go ahead. Say it.
Sebastian: Say what?
Anders: I saw you watching me.
Sebastian: I was looking at the clouds.
Anders: Don’t give me that. I know you’ve been judging me.
Anders: You think I’m out of control. How can I claim to speak for mages when I’m half demon myself?
Sebastian: The one over there looks a bit like a bunny rabbit.

 

pls acknowledge that this is a joke ok

I always interpreted the dialogue below (under the read more) to mean Alistair was born and living at Redcliffe Castle before Arl Eamon married Isolde.  That the Guerrin wedding was put off due to King Maric’s opposition.  And that once Isolde arrived at Castle Redcliffe, Alistair was treated worse and eventually Eamon sent him off to the Chantry at Isolde’s insistence.  

I also believe Isolde’s continuing hatred of Alistair is clear when she meets him again with Teagan after the battle with the undean - “Alistair.  What are YOU doing here?”  Her tone just drips conrtempt at best.  

I believe that she may not have known he was Maric’s son - Eamon may have kept that secret.

Just to provide some age check points - in the Stolen Throne after the battle of West Hill Rowan remembers her brothers Teagan , 8 and Eamon 15 - that’s in 8:99 Blessed.  So it’s not unreasonable to assume Eamon met Isolde while recovering the arling sometime after Maric defeated Meghren  and that they didn’t marry until the early teens, due to Maric’s opposition.  

I;d appreciate any thoughts or canon which provides a different viewpoint.  This, btw, has nothing to do with the “Who is Alistair’s mother discussion”.  It’s just - was Alistair living at Redcliffe before Eamon married Isolde?

Game dialogue re: Alistair’s childhood:follows below:

While I think Alistair can be  a very unreliable narrator at times, I’ve always accepted this dialogue at face value, since he is quite specific about the sequence of events and the cause/effect. (I also find it interesting that Connor’s birth would have come right about the time that Alistair was banished to the Chantry. *shrug*)

I have always assumed that it is no coincidence that Alistair was sent to the Chantry around the time Connor was born. And that Isolde didn’t know, or didn’t believe, the truth about Alistair’s parentage.

Agreed, it’s also been my headcanon for ages now that Alistair was already at Redcliffe for some time before Isolde and Eamon finally married. I peg part of the reason for the wedding happening so late - some years after Eamon most likely recovered Redcliffe - as being that *Rowan* opposed their marriage, so it wasn’t until after she died that Eamon finally married Isolde. After which Alistair spent several years growing up as an orphan in the stables and kennels before finally being shipped off to the chantry at age 10. And that Connor was born after Alistair left.

And I’m also of the headcanon that Eamon never told Isolde what Alistair’s true parentage was, so she’s never stopped believing that his is actually Eamon’s bastard (especially if Eamon had any kind of relationship with Goldanna’s mother before their marriage, or even was just known to sleep with his servants when the mood struck him).

There’s no such thing as following too many Dragon Age fans, so if you blog DA or are a fan of it, reblog so I can follow you!

i just feel the need to give you a warning that i’m like the worst fan so follow at your own risk.

I’m pretty sure I’m worse than you. Everything I touch turns to Sebastians and threesomes. 

#And threesomes with Sebastians

accurate.

and also we sail ships that make everyone cry.

And also bend canon and canon characters to our nefarious purposes.  

 #and anders is a vegan anarchist who blows up cars for people he loves

kahrin: so hot hng teach me how babe.

no really i’ve lost control of my life.

I missed a comment chain that included threesomes with Sebastian? How unlike me.

As they waded back, Loghain gave Alistair a sideways look. “Remind me to make sure that proper swimming in on the list of skills you learn this summer. As the other Grey Wardens and I have found, there’s places in the Deep Roads where it’s turned out to be a necessary skill.”

“Swimming? In the Deep Roads!?” Alistair exclaimed, giving him a startled look.

“Unfortunately yes. The dwarven construction has stood up remarkably well for how many centuries it’s been abandoned to the darkspawn, but there are still places that have flooded, not to mention the presence of underground rivers and lakes in the natural caverns. In fact one of the places that’s at least partially underwater is just down from that cave. The fact that darkspawn made it out that way tells me it likely hasn’t flooded any worse than it was thirty-odd years ago. Most darkspawn don’t swim well at all; they generally sink instead.”

“Well, that is good news,” Alistair said, and made a face.
