Lyrium and ink: Pikapeppa does elf facepaint

Yoooo I hit a follower milestone this week (bittersweet given the upcoming NSFW purge 😭) so I thought I’d share the weird thing I started doing this year for no good reason: imitating videogame makeup. 

From top to bottom, we’ve got my lover’s Fenris’s lyrium tattoos, Merrill’s vallaslin, and then the vallaslin from Inquisition: Mythal, Dirthamen, Falon’din, June, Sylaise, Andruil, Ghilan’nain, and Elgar’nan.

It’s mostly liquid eyeliner; I went through like 6 brands trying to find the one(s) I liked best for this. THAT IS COMMITMENT OK

(Please don’t repost my face in other places. It’s MY face, ok? I grew it myself and everything.)

Welcome to the Urn of Sacred Arts!

urnofsacredarts:

What is this?

Get your creations direct from Orzammar! Fine dwarven arts! Arts that went underground for so long that they hissed when we dug up to bring them into the light. In essence, we’re here to appreciate the underappreciated. The Dragon Age fandom is great, but it’s easy for things to get skipped over. 

Submission Guidelines

We’re here to drag these roguish arts out of the shadows. Want to know if your work qualifies as “underappreciated”? It must fulfill these three requirements in order to be accepted. 

  • Must be under 100 notes. That’s all notes combined, both discussions and reblogs and likes. 
  • Must be at least a month old. 
  • Must be the original post. Essentially, no reposts. 

And one extra, very important requirement. Consider it a bonus requirement:

  • Nothing racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, underage, or incestuous will be accepted. This includes erasure or altering the sexuality of canon queer characters. 

Any creation form is accepted. Cross-posting and links to A03 are allowed. 

Can I submit for a friend?

Supporting your friends is not only encouraged, but the very reason this blog exists. 

How many times can I submit?

Honestly, as many times as your heart desires. BUT we only reblog a user once every 30/31 days. That way, the blog doesn’t get cluttered up with all the same creators. 

I don’t want my art up here. 

No problem! Just send us an ask and we’ll take it down. The message must be received from the account that originally posted it. 

This post has over 100 notes! Why is it on here?

The point of this blog is to make the unseen seen. We’re not going to delete posts if they make it over that number after we reblog them. 

Why was my post taken down? 

We will remove anything that displays harmful behavior, is a repost, or is stolen from another artist. 

Why is this user reblogged on here? They’re popular.

We go by the post itself, not the user. 

Are crossovers and AUs accepted?

Very! It just has to be obvious that this fandom is a main part of it. 

Do you accept chapters? 

Unfortunately, no. The works must be completed, both if written or drawn. WIP posts will not be featured on here. 

Neat!!

“If you’ve been following these blogs, or myself and Mark Darrah on Twitter, you know we’re also working on some secret Dragon Age stuff.  Dragon Age is an incredibly important franchise in our studio, and we’re excited to continue its legacy.  Look for more on this in the coming month (though I won’t tell you where to look…)”

HEY.

Top 13 Most Unfuckable Men in Dragon Age (according to me, a lesbian)

dragonageisgay:

fucktheevanuris:

gayspacejew:

Honorable Mention: Oghren

I am not including Oghren on the official list for a couple reasons. Firstly, jokes about how gross Oghren is are basically everywhere. I can’t make a remotely original joke on this subject because they have all already been made. Secondly, I don’t want to subject anybody to actually thinking about fucking Oghren. And third, it’s no fun punching down. Nobody likes Oghren except me. And I get it. Oghren is a pretty cool character who was grossly mishandled by writers who think sexual assault, alcoholism and homophobia are hilarious jokes and not serious issues. Sorry about all this, Oghren. Enjoy your free pass from being mocked by a lesbian on the internet.

13. Zevran Arainai

image

Zevran is the least unfuckable man in Dragon Age because he wouldn’t make it weird. He’d give you a nice lay, do a good job, and then high-5 you afterwards. He’s nice-looking and experienced and would overall be an almost not-unpleasant experience. If there was a gun to my head and someone forcing me to pick a Dragon Age man to fuck, it would be Zevran.

12. RDP Sten

image

I say Realistic DAO Project Sten and not regular Sten because frankly RDP Sten is the true Sten. Honestly, look at this man. Assuming you didn’t die during intercourse, he’d make you breakfast the next morning, then reshackle your roof and do your taxes. RDP Sten would take care of you. RDP Sten would treat you right.

11. Justice

image

…as long as he gave Anders’ body a bath first, because wow he sure is a guy who lives in a sewer. Justice is a friendly Fade spirit curious about the mortal world and its many wonders. Fucking Justice would be a nice opportunity to show an otherworldly being a good time. Not to mention the novelty. Think of the puns you could make afterwards. “It was a spiritual experience.” “It was truly righteous.” “Justice isn’t easy–no, Justice is hard.”

10. Varric Tethras

Varric would be the ideal sugar daddy. He’d indulge you, buy you nice things, tell you stories, and when it’s time to go to bed, you’d just have to put up with him bringing his crossbow with him. Honestly, he probably wouldn’t even get to the sex. You’d have half your clothes off and then he’d start telling a story and three hours later he’s cried a little about his ex and fallen asleep cuddled up to his crossbow. Meanwhile, you are free to go back to your house with your money and jewelry. Ideal.

9. Alistair

image

Alistair is inexperienced, but a nice boy. You could show him a good time, and then pat him on the head and give him a cookie afterwards. He’s funny and nice and if you aren’t his first lay, it’ll probably be Morrigan and she would probably turn into a spider halfway through just to fuck with him. I’m willing to fuck him just to spare him that being his first time. Alistair might make it weird and try to give you a flower or something, but he’s young and easily dissuaded. Fucking Alistair would be acceptable and satisfying in some ways.

8. Iron Bull

image

He ugly, but otoh, monster dong, if you’re into that. Iron Bull wouldn’t make it weird emotionally, but he would definitely make it weird sexually. Assuming you survived, you would have a hell of a story. I would bring that up at every cocktail party I went to for the rest of my life. “I fucked a minotaur man,” I’d say, sipping my martini. “He had an eyepatch, and a dong the size of your forearm. I’m lucky to have survived.” The party guests gasp and fan themselves at the scandal.

7. Nathaniel Howe

image

I have no feelings either way about fucking Nathaniel Howe. I would show up, do the deed, and leave. Maybe give him a thumbs up, to be polite. My entire soul doesn’t rebel against the concept, but neither can I think of any benefits to fucking Nathaniel Howe.

6. Sebastian Vael

image

I wouldn’t hate to fuck Sebastian, and he seems nice, I guess. He’d be on par with Nate, except for the fact that he’s a devout fantasy Catholic. I’m morally opposed to fucking Catholics, because I don’t like Catholicism, and because I don’t want to deal with their ensuing guilt. I would tolerate fucking Sebastian.

5. Fenris

image

Fenris is objectively one of the best-looking men in Dragon Age, but oh lord, the canon romance path is so much. I’d do it just so I could touch his pretty hair, but I’d feel real bad about it. I like fenris. I don’t wanna cause him troubles. On the other hand, Isabela seems to manage it without much emotional fallout, so perhaps it would be alright. Fucking Fenris might be perfectly fine, but it might end terribly for all involved. As a lesbian I’m not gonna risk it.

4. Anders

image

Anders is a nasty sewer man who has no particularly attractive physical features to make up for it. He’d probably be an alright lay, but if you fucked him he’d definitely fall in love with you. Possibly he’d have already been in love with you for like three years. Then post-fuck he’d say a lot of weird stuff and ask to move into your house, and you’d be so worried about his eating habits and his stress that you’d be like “sure :)”, and then you’d have to change your name and flee the city to escape. Don’t fuck Anders.

3. Blackwall

image

I previously had Blackwall a spot higher, but then when I went to google a picture of him I realized he actually looks okay. Lumberjack aesth. Nice beard. Probably nice chest hair. Good muscles. But he’s also kind of a stinky old man who is kind of like your dad, and he would make his weird guilt issues your problem. I’d rather not, although I grant that if he was a couple decades younger he might be Acceptable.

2. Cullen

image

I would really hate to fuck Cullen. I find him morally repugnant, physically unimpressive, and overall vile. Not to mention that he seems like the kind of sexually inexperienced dude to just try inserting Tab A into Slot B with no foreplay–but then, would you really want foreplay from this guy? At least it would all be over within 5 minutes and then you could make your escape through the window.

1. Solas

image

Solas is the absolute most unfuckable man in Dragon Age. Not only is he bald, and a genocidal maniac, but he would also get weirdly hung up on you. Then he’d like, haunt your dreams. “Vhenaaaaaaan,” you hear every night forever, to your horror. “You’re not like other girls,” he says, before showing you a picture of his fursona, which is a wolf. I would rather do literally anything else but fuck Solas. I thank G-d every day that Solas is not real, and that I am in no danger of ever fucking him. Solas is the least fuckable man in Dragon Age.

I kept scrolling waiting for Solas and honestly this is facts idk why I love him so much

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WHY DID I READ THIS AT WORK

WHYYYY

I AM SO HAPPY I CRY

(My darling @hellarcanine translated the German caption for me – it’s slang that means “you’re crazy!” – the transliteration is “there must be birdies chirping in your head”. Which I mean, needless to say, is AMAZING.)
