I had to sacrifice some color for the sake of making them work on tumblr, and there’s still a chance they might freeze because tumblr hates me and I’m a bad gif maker, but…
I’ve been itching to draw these two for WEEKS, but I simply couldn’t find the time to just sit down and draw leisurely, even on weekends because something always happens, and truthfully it’s becoming quite frustrating -_-
Excuse my rambling, folks. Anyway, enjoy Marian’s legs like Fenris does.
Fenris: Mmmm. Hawke: What is it? Fenris: Oh, nothing. I am simply enjoying these legs of yours. Hawke: Why, thank you! I grew them myself. Fenris: *chuckles* Ah. Precious homegrown goods, then. You should make sure you store them properly. Perhaps… around my waist. Hawke: Exactly the storage place I had in mind.
Fenris: Thank you for asking me to come along again, Hawke. Hawke: Why wouldn’t I? The more the merrier! Is there a reason I wouldn’t? Fenris: I just… am pleased. To see you. That’s all. Varric: Smooooooth.
(Legacy DLC banter which I only am just seeing now. I LOVE IT.)
Are you named after someone? Yes. I am literally named after my mother. We also are both published in academic journals so we both use our middle initials out of habit like pretentious jerks. (I dislike my IRL name in case this wasn’t clear.)
When was the last time you cried? On Tuesday while watching season 3 of Daredevil. Someone died and I BAWLED LIKE A DAMN BABY.
Do you have kids? Nope.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? Ummm, not really? I don’t think? I use wit and cheek more than outright sarcasm.
What’s the first thing you notice about people? Height, eyes, and mouth I guess? Hey, fun fact, there was this research article I read once that used eye tracking and found that people from different ethnic backgrounds tend to focus on different facial features. That sounds vague, yes, but mainly because I can’t remember the details of the article and I don’t want to say something erroneous 😅
What’s your eye colour? Brown.
Scary Movies or Happy Endings? Both, depending on my mood! But I definitely watch more movies with happy endings than scary movies.
Any special talents? I feel like writing is a pretty decent talent of mine, as well as a joy. I’m also a good listener.
Where were you born? Toronto, Canada.
What are your hobbies? Writing, video games, TV and movies, and discussing video games/TV/movies in exhaustive and fervent detail with the fiancé.
Do you have any pets? Yes! A cat named Meeko. She is my furbaby.
How tall are you? Approx. 5′3″
What sports do you play/have you played? None. I don’t like competitive sports. I used to be on the volleyball team when I was 12, but I’m left-handed and I had a lot of trouble not serving into the wall, if that makes sense, and it was really humiliating so I quit. Clearly it scarred me for life. LMAO
Favourite subject at school? Uhh let’s go with favourite undergrad course. I took a class called Writing Systems, which was a linguistics course focusing on the different ways that language is represented in written form across the world and through history. That was my favourite and most interesting class of all time.
Dream job? If I stayed in healthcare, I would want to be a psychotherapist. If I worked in a different field, I would want to be a fiction/romance/fantasy editor.

I stuck to canon/canon-ish ships for this, otherwise ya’ll know Aloy/Nil would be my #1. ANYWAY, In no particular order:
Garrus Vakarian & Shepard, Mass Effect
The adorable inter-species flirting. The unequivocal mutual support. “Meet me at the bar.” God, just SUCH a good romance and relationship.
Rick & Evelyn, The Mummy & The Mummy Returns
Favourite example of sort-of enemies-to-lovers. They are such a good couple, and more imporantly, such a good team. Especially in The Mummy Returns when their kid is abducted and they have to work together to get him back, and they’re both so distressed but SUPPORTING EACH OTHER SO WELL and it just, kill me ok?
Randall and Beth, This Is Us
The support. The adorable married flirting. Beth being fiercely protective and Randall just wanting to be the perfect husband and father. UGH THEY’RE TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD.
Frank Castle and Karen Page, Daredevil/The Punisher
Ok FINE, this isn’t a canon ship (yet?!) but GOD I WANT IT TO BE CANON SO FUCKING BADLY. I am TRASH for this ship. Come on, don’t even try and tell me that these two murdering broken self-sacrificing idiots don’t love each other. DON’T EVEN TRY AND TELL ME.
Solas & Lavellan, Dragon Age: Inquisition
Welp, if this gif by Nipuni isn’t accurate as hell, I don’t know what is. I don’t think I’ll ever get over Solavellan. It’s just so tragic and beautiful and perfectly horrible and I have too many feelings over it.
Describe yourself using three fictional characters
Tagged by the darling @chillyrose! In no particular order:
Cole, Dragon Age Inquisition
This might be more of a wishful-thinking choice than one that really reflects me, but… man, Cole just wants to help people and heal the hurts, and I feel that. I wish I could do what spirit!Cole does. I’m envious of his ability to help people in the space of a second and then just melt away into the background without them ever knowing he was there. I wish that was me.
Steve, The Haunting of Hill House
I recently finished watching this series and I am the Steve of the Crain family. Without going into too much detail, his ‘ghosts’/baggage are the exact same as mine and it’s all just a little tooooo close to home. Get out of my head, Netflix.
Varric Tethras, Dragon Age II & Inquisition
If Cole is who I wish I was, then Varric is a better reflection of who I am. He and I are both true neutrals alignment-wise. I kind of see Varric as the guy in Kirkwall/Skyhold who just stands back observing everyone’s shenanigans without judging, and I’d say that’s pretty close to me. I’m much happier to be a sidekick than the person in the spotlight. And as Varric put it best, “I am but a humble servant to my loyal readers!” 😂❤️
