Woot made all my deadlines at work! That means... now I can come party here again! :: opens 200 lollipops, licks them, and throws them to see where they stick ::
Still love this thread the best. Briefly looked at other threads. Actually saw some really reasonable stuff in one of them, but then someone always comes along and goes nuts and it makes my brain hurt.
ITS NOT AWFUL.
Ok ok it probably is an awful ship, my friends call me the Queen of Bad Dragon Age Ships for a reason, lmao, but I'm loving it more MORE...if you...want..
That's my approach to fanfic too...I just can't apply the same level of rigor I do to other writing because then I spend my time writing fanfic instead of original stuff or I never finish it, and it's all horribly indulgent fic anyway, so I like to just get it out and call it a day. 
I like to occasionally write some fanfic mostly because it will CONSUME ME if an idea lodges in my head. I am going to need an AO3 account at some point.
But my original characters will also consume me, and they know where I bury the bodies, soooo... if I ignore them for too long... they come up with stupid ideas like "but what if WE visited Thedas!" No. You will do no such thing. You are GROUNDED. Do other people have these problems?
My guilty ship... uh... has nothing to do with this thread. :: hides the ship ::
It is. I love my Blackwall beardy, but I'm all for people using mods that make the characters more attractive to them. I used to give Alistair scruff and hazel-bluish-greenish eyes (and Anders blue eyes) because I like my blonde/blue eyed tropes. (If you could call them tropes.)
Anders was a side effect at first, from modding Alistair. They used the same color eyes, and that's the one I'd modded for Alistair. Then when I met Anders in awakenings, it was always the color eyes he had and I could never go back.
edit: @veeia: the only ones I don't like are the whitewashing ones. The only thing I ever did to Isabela was to give her more pants in her pants, lol. She was pretty awesome the way she was.
The mod is here:
Maskless Gaspard, No Beard Blackwall, No Mustache Dorian
Oh the last thing Isabella needed was more anything in her pants. (kidding, kidding)
I like where you took this, and will happily sit next to you on the trash bus anyday. 
Hey! Get that right. It's the TRASH PARTY BUS. We are on it RIGHT NOW.
No prob Veeia, I was the one who brought the issue here so 
I also would have liked better that he kneeled before her and she kissed his forehead, it would have been more appropriate, but... Maker's balls perhaps I should just stop reading the posts in other threads, they're driving me insane 
Yeah, I would have liked that, too. I think that it would have worked really well.
Also, ignore the haters. Those Hater McHatery Pants. WHATEVAHS.
yeah because apparently we all have rose colored glasses. With all the glossing over of crimes commited by companions in these games I don't think we are the ones wearing rose colored glasses.
My glasses aren't rose colored. They're the color of the blood of small children that die, didn't anyone tell you? 
Fake cut to black swiftly followed by Dennet throwing the door open...

... and just like boxed wine, I am again reminded of my childhood.
