WELL dont say I don't take requests or that I'm averse to jumping on the trend of photoshopping Blackwall with aprons on in cooking situations. I exported the body mesh...don't know how to put on the skin texture so it's off, but. BLACKWALL PLAIDEWEAVE APRON BOOTY 4 U.

Mmm prime beef i-i-i mean on the grill!

[Sabreenei]

I should be asleep, but instead I'm sitting here wiping tears and trying to whisper-laugh. Total giggle-loop. The combination of seeing omm nom nom in a post right before I scrolled to see Blackwall's naked butt, was too much. I laughed so loud the cat fell off the desk, and I had to clamp my hands over my mouth.

 

What the Imperium, dude! Still out of likes.

 

[Ynqve]

Ahhahaha I love this thread. Plaidweave apron is the sexiest! It is known.

[MrsHairyMcLummox]

ok, lazy sunday, I wanted to do this a long time ago, blame Veeia for her Blackweave that inspired me this piece of sh... art xD

 

[kalasaurus]

So I'm curious... I'm thinking about picking up the necromancer specialization for my mage (when I get to that point- she's still in Haven).  I know Blackwall disapproves if you pick that.  Does his reaction change at all if you're in a romance?  It should be amusing, regardless

[CredulousAlloy]

Maker, what did I miss!? SO MUCH WIN from page 468 onwards. All those awesome, passionate, well-argued defenses of Blackwall's character, followed by a rapid shift to plaideweave aprons and Youtube closed captions (still laughing at a BUS killing the Divine).

 

I'm out of Likes, but I love you all

[GreenClover]

Whoa, wait, it was a BUS all along? You could have saved me some SERIOUS pain if you'd said something earlier. Then we'd just blow it up and move on.

I laughed so hard at this, my brother came to see if I was alright  That conversation will never be the same.

It doesn't. But you can finish the dialogue with zero disapproval points if you pick the right option. It is still amusing.

- Necromancy is evil and unnatural, argh! *disapproves*
- Dude, all magic is unnatural, necromancy is not any different from other schools.
- Maybe you're right. Fireballs and walking corpses, totally the same thing *approves*

Cassandra's reaction was the best, though. "I hope you won't dress corpses up and read books to them like my uncle did". I so much want to meet her uncle after hearing this.

I see that many here ship Blackwall with Trevelyan. I personally ship Blackwall with female mage Adaar or female rogue Cadash.

 

A female Tal Vashoth saarebas and a female former Carta thug are most likely the least judgmental of female Inquisitors, based on their background. At least, that is how it is for me.

 

Anyone have a video of Adaar and Blackwall around ?

 

 

[kalasaurus]

I'm about to ship Blackwall with my mage Lavellan, assuming I don't change my mind by the time I get to Skyhold (which has been known to happen :/).

 

Edit: I found this on YouTube.  It's the complete Blackwall romance with a Qunari:

 

[Rosalee_TAL]

@gorgo: I ended up writing a little more than I thought I would, so I put it behind spoiler tags.

 

The short answer: At first my quizzie thought she was done with love. Then she met Blackwall, and thought, oh, just a fun flirtation. But he was so much more than she'd expected. After finding the badge, and the kiss (and the sex, because, no way that kiss ended at just a kiss that night), she thought, maybe she'd been done with love, but love wasn't done with her. She wasn't ready to admit anything yet, though. I think she realized it randomly. Some time after they'd been sleeping together, it just struck her. She loved this man.

 

Spoiler

 

Kiara may be a noble, but she has lived a good part of her life outside her family's influence, living under her own assumed name as a rogue and thief. (This was before I even knew there was a Blackwall, so, these two were totally meant to be!). As a child her best friend and first love became a mage. They'd tried to keep it hidden, but it wasn't something that could be hidden for long. He was taken away to a circle, at the height of their crazy mad us-against-the-world love that only those just out of childhood can sustain. It turned her against the family and the chantry as a whole, since she blamed them for it. After this she made disastrous choices, first to get back at the family and then later because that was the lifestyle she'd gotten herself into. When the last affair had taken a heartbreaking turn both personally and professionally, she decided to stop straddling two worlds and return home for good. It was time to make amends with her family, give up on the idea of love, and use everything she'd learned for the betterment of her family. She volunteered to go the the conclave, and her family decided to give her that chance, as she would be the one most likely to learn any secrets they could use to further their line. Instead, all hell broke loose.

 

When she met Blackwall, she was still determined to believe there was no such thing as love. She felt an immediate attraction to him, and when he not only saved her from the arrow, but was so sure of himself and commanding and wonderful in the fight, it may have made her knees go a little weak. But she thought she could both like him as a person and lust after him as a man, without falling in love with him. Maybe she would sleep with him, and maybe she wouldn't. She may have given up on love, but that didn't mean she couldn't flirt and have a good time.

 

When she saw him in the future Alexis sent her into, how he looked at her through the gates of those bars when seeing her alive and how he sacrificed himself to give her the chance to get back through the portal -- she started to suspect it was more than infatuation. Still, she wasn't ready to call it love. Then the attack on Haven happened, fighting a dragon and a darkspawn claiming to have seen the seat of the Maker. Fighting, and surviving. Again. The trek through the snow, the complete faith of the people ringing all around her, skyhold rising out of the mountains... all her beliefs were shaken. Maybe she'd been wrong about Andraste, about the Maker. If she was wrong about something as big as that, maybe she was wrong about love too?

 

Everything felt as if it were rushing out of control. The people's belief, being made inquisitor, everyone looking to her for answers. This is when Blackwall took her up to the battlements, and tried to get her to step back from their relationship. The relationship she'd been telling herself didn't exist, it was only flirtation. And this, this made her laugh. Because she suddenly realized he was as afraid of love as she was, and she knew with utter clarity that he had something in his past he felt made him unworthy, just as she did. With his fear, she felt less afraid. As if by him trying to run away from the problem, it made her want to step up and face it. She wasn't ready to admit to being in love at that point, but she was open to the idea. Every day he proved himself to her, proved how unlike he was from any man she'd been with before. Every time he said, "my lady" and meant it, her mind opened a little more to the idea of love.

 

Later, after they retrieved the badge and he'd come to her room, he kissed her. And then he'd more than kissed her. In the dark, in the night, while he snored like a bear, she'd thought, maybe I love this man. Later still, somewhere on the Storm Coast, after an exhilarating fight against a small horde of darkspawn, still breathless from the attack, not from exertion so much as from the high she got whenever they fought in tandem, Blackwall had reached for her. Wiping the blood from her arm with such concern, he'd asked if she were all right. There was both fear and love in his voice. She came to two realizations at that point. He was no grey warden, and, yes, she loved him.

 

OMG you're in my head aren't you? This is EXACTLY what I imagined for my Quizzy and Blackwall! *high fives Sabreenei*

I see that many here ship Blackwall with Trevelyan. I personally ship Blackwall with female mage Adaar or female rogue Cadash.

I don't really ship him with any particular race, it's just that Trevelyan doesn't have weirdly animated romance scenes. I simply can't get past Adaar that shrinks to human size, or Cadash that levitates on her wings of love in the kissing scenes. Expecially since there are plenty of adequately animated kisses and other cutscenes, like Josephine with both Adaar and Cadash, or dancing with Florianne, or even Cadash judgement kiss with Blackwall. WHY? Why couldn't they make it look normal in other scenes, too? I also can't get used to crazy camera behavior in some non-romance cutscenes. I created an Adaar once. Got to Haven. Saw Cullen talking to Adaar's bosom. Deleted Adaar. I just can't 

So I guess it's forever Trevelyan or Lavellan for me, even though dwarves are my favorite race in DA. If I ever make a dwarf she will romance Sera, just to avoid all this weirdness.

I definitely ship him with Trevelyan, for the whole "the lady and the knight" thing. And for me, it's even better for the story when she has to struggle more after his revelations, and then comes to the conclusion that if she accepted him back as the Inquisitor, maybe she should also do that as a woman.

 

 

 

Alright, I posted this on tumblr but I'm going to post it here too since I know a few of you guys don't use it.

Hope it's not too late for answering that

Spoiler

For my Trevelyan, it just sort of happens. Maybe she didn't think she was done with love, but just didn't think of it, filling her time with history books and practicing duelling, and learning politisc from her father. Also, she had a fiancé once, but he just tried to use her for his own advancement, so she is kind of wary.

And then she meets Blackwall and at first it scares her a little how she immediately trusts him. After Blackwall joins the Inquisition she can see how he tries to do good, and how courteous he is to her - she's a nobleman's daughter and is used to people being courteous to her because it's part of the political game, while Blackwall is genuine in that. Plus, well, he's basically the noble knight type - she might be sensible and pragmatic with politics, but she has read her share of poems and romance ballads, so the whole knight thing has a certain appeal. I also headcanon her as having an older brother who is a Grey Warden and who always deflects all her questions in a similar way Blackwall does, so she simply thins that Blackwall, like her brother, is not a good liar, and wants to protect her from that knowledge.

I think that by the time they go to the Storm Coast and find Blackwall's badge, she's in love with him.

Enough rambling for now, before it turns into something fanfic-length, they got one fanfic already and don't need another XD

LOL, "wings of love," I love that! Ditto. I don't ship racial pairings either. I just happen to like playing a dwarf more than I like any of the romances so that's how it rolls. I can deal with the cloud-walking (hah! If my Orzammar brethren could see me now!), but not being able to stroke Blackwall's beard after the kiss?

No stroking the beard!?!?! What a tragedy! Can you perhaps chuck some screenies my way on the dwarf after wall kiss please? Cuz i've never played a dwarf . Maybe im so short irl that i need to be taller elsewhere.

[Gilsa]

Found a video on youtube for ya:

Cant tube :-( Even waiting for a page to load at work is like watching a paint dry :-( but i will watch that when i get home :-) ty!

Oh, I was way into the romance and finally got the necromancer spec (I was waffling over what to pick, so it took a while...). He still disapproved. So did Cole for that matter (for reasons that he explains). I think most average non-mages are a bit creeped out by the mortalitassi thing, except for Cass who grew up with that stuff.

Ack, I'm sorry, you did say "screenies!" I thought you meant a video. It's no problem. I dug through my screenshots to find examples for ya. The only difference is that after the kiss close-up, the camera pans to the dwarf's face and fades to black. Very brief. It is actually lovely as it is. I'm just grousing about not being able to touch the beard, that's all. =p (We still don't get to touch it during that awkward judgment kiss either. =p)

[Xetykins]

@Gilsa thank you! It's not so bad. The expression on your Cadash is totally loved-up :-) The camera angle on the kiss makes the "wings of love" almost non existent.

[Scuttlebutt101]

I rather like multiracial couples in my games, but I rather ship my characters and LIs based on their backstories. I'm a big fan of contrast in couples - star crossed lovers, Uptown Girl/Guy etc. That's why I never cared much for Cousland/Alistair in my games. Dwarves are an exception though - I just can't stand playing them because of how short and square they look, no matter how much I like their origin stories. Which is weird because I love some of the dwarf NPCs (still hoping for a chance to romance Varric) and I think other dwarven ladies look really pretty (Harding, Dagna, Bianca, Rica, sigh...), but when I decided to give my dwarven quizzy a go, I don't think I even finished the tutorial. I was just really uncomfortable with being waist-high to most of the characters around me.

 

 

PS: I know I posted this yesterday, so it's ancient history now, but I spotted a mistake and it's been bugging me all day.

 

 

 

I agree. I think giving him to the Wardens is a reasonable choice - he gets to atone through actions, but it's hard to call it mercy, considering the kind of life Wardens live. However, there's also the fact that the Calling has something of a 1/3 survival rate and if it kills him, then it's hardly any different than leaving him in the dungeon - wasted potential. That's the main thing keeping me from giving him to the Wardens. Well, aside from the fact that my Inquisitor just wanted him back, lol. She's not awfully principled, as it turns out - anything to have her love by her side. Really though, having him remain with the Inquisition really isn't a bad option - Blackwall can atone through his work for the Inquisition, the Inquisition doesn't lose a skilled soldier. Life as a member of the Inq-n isn't a walk in the park either.

 

Joining! I meant the Joining!!!

Honestly one of the nicest things about the Blackwall fandom is there is actually a legit diversity of races people are playing it with across the board and no one craps on any of the races. Like I could never play Alistair/Cousland, and not because of the actual backgrounds there (on the surface its kind of yawn to me but i am sure i could make it fun), but because so many people were/are just freaking being jerks about how it was THE BEST THING EVER and "ew dwarves pedophilia"  or" lol you MUST be queen otherwise whats the point?" and blah blah, lmao, it made me very bratty and resentful and I'll just tune out 99% of the time when I see anything Alistair/Couland related. I've seen some stuff like that in Cass & Dorian threads/tags, just endless parades of Lavs and Trevs with not very well hidden disgust for Adaar/Cadash...and...I'm just really grateful that doesn't happen here. I like feeling like I can participate and people are gonna be cool! I like really enjoying and having gross emotions over ya'lls Trev/Lav Blackwall pairings instead of feeling resentful!! 

 

So really I ship all Blackwall pairings pretty equally except of course, for Cadash, because dorfs. But they all have really interesting backgrounds that can work in such interesting ways with Blackwall.
