Welcome folks to the Varric Tethras discussion thread! Now with 25% more chest hair and 50% more narration! 

 

Remember: "Always classy, never trashy. And just a little bit sassy." -Marilyn Monroe

Below this post we have a wonderful and ever growing library of fanart for you to peruse. 

"Varric Tethras is one part adventurous rogue, one part dashing storyteller, and three parts trouble. Born on the surface, Varric has little love for his underground brethren-all his contacts lie with the dwarves of the Merchants Guild, though he has little taste for their schemes. Still, he has found a place as an outsider, rubbing shoulders with both the wealthy and elite as well as the worst of scoundrels. To hear him tell of it, that's all he truly cares about, though anyone who truly knows him claims differently. They say that, try as he might, Varric has been drawn more and more into conflicts that shake the world-ones that he can't get himself out of with a quick tale."

INCOMING FANART!

 

We must have the backs of ducks, the pride of our ancestors, the skin of stone, the will of iron, and keep our heads high until either we have the last laugh, or the devs dash our dreams for good--Natashina

The Weekly Varric Prompt Post!

 

 

THIS WEEK'S PROMPT

 

Rain

prompted by fyeahvarric

 

 

Rules

  • Every Saturday I shall post a new prompt made by the "winner" of lasts week's prompt post. 

  • People who want to participate should post a "fill" to this prompt using the media of their choice to the Varric thread (gifs, drawings, video, writing etc... the sky's the limit), and PM me a link to their post. You do not have to PM me if you don't want to be considered as an entry for the weekly "competition", though I encourage everyone to do so. :P

  • Entrants are encouraged to tell me what they want their prompt to be should they "win" when they PM me.

  • Prompts should be vague enough to allow for a wide variety of interpretations expressed through a variety of media types. 

  • Users are allowed to have more than on entry. 

  • ALL Posts and entries should be kept PG-13 appropriate, we don't want Allan visiting us because we're posting too much porn. If your work is not PG-13 appropriate, try making a PG-13 version to post to the forums. 

  • All Entries must be related to Varric and in someway inspired by the weekly prompt. If it's not clear how your post was inspired by the prompt, or relevant to Varric, please include an explanation with your post. This does not apply for people who do not want to participate in the weekly "competition"

  • Unlike the Official Fanart Post submissions to the weekly prompt post do not have to be related to DA:I. 

  • The "winner" will be determined by whichever post has the most likes by 23:59 US EST on the following Friday. I understand that the amount of Likes a post receives is not only a factor of skill, but of time and luck. This is intentional, I don't want to turn this into an actual competition, I just wanted to add a fun little bonus to encourage people to participate. 

  • The "winner" will have their fanwork featured at the top of the official fanart post. They also get to decide what the next week's prompt will be. 

  • While I will probably submit my own responses to the weekly prompt I am not eligible to win unless no one else submits a piece. :P

A Final Note

This Prompt Post Is Here First And Foremost For Fun! Feel free to post whatever you want in response to the prompt, and don't feel as though you have to put a lot of effort into creating a masterpiece. If all you have the time for is a five minute sketch or a few lines of party banter, then draw that five minute sketch or write those few lines of party banter and post them to the Varric thread. If you want to create something more elaborate and time consuming then feel absolutely free to do that as well, and don't forget to post :P. This prompt post is for Varric fans of all schedules and skillsets.

 

Cheers Have Fun!

 

 

This Week's Entries

Thank you to Sluckers, fyeahvarric, and Twilight Princess for last week's submissions.

 

 

 

 

 

Q&A



ooo I have such a good idea but even Allen's mouse art makes my art look like mud  :(

Don't worry, this weekly prompt post is designed for artists of all skill levels. I actually created it with the intention of people submitting little things like party banters, ficlets, or doodles. People are of course encouraged to do more if a prompt really speaks to them, but it's in no way expected of submissions. The main purpose of these prompts is to have fun.  :P So draw away I say! I look forward to seeing it.

 

You also don't have to submit art if you don't want to. Fanfics, fanvids, interpretative dances etc... anything that you can create either on the computer, or post a photo/video of is fair game.

Cheers It'll make for an amusing story, we were coordinating it so obsessively and you still managed to sneak in :P Maybe you could just turn it Into a header for the fanart post like "Varric DA:I Fanart Below!" or something like that, written in nice big friendly letters :P

Varric is my guy, will be with my Dwarf Inquisitor from start to finish.  If he's a romance option, I'll be rolling female, even if they do make him bi, I personally don't see Varric being bi so he'll always be straight to me.  If he's not an option, I'll be male warrior.

Why is everyone wanting to make new threads?

Well I can't speak for everyone but the reason we restarted this thread was because our OP hadn't been on or updated in quite a few months. 

 

Basically we wanted the thread to be more up to date with the news and everything. Our first post will be updated with new news, articles and interviews as new information trickles out and our fanart post will have all sorts of lovely fanart all in an easy to access area.  ;)

 

Think of it as...spring cleaning.

Varric is definitely going to be the character I won't be switching out much.  He's a storyteller and he always needs new material, I have no choice but to take him everywhere :D  .

Hmmm I'm trying to think, while he definitely only has a history with women (just one in particular) I don't remember him talking about women in general the way Anders did DA:A (correct me if I'm wrong about this). He'll jokingly flirt with either Hawke, though it is of course all in good fun and not serious. He definitely never outright states he's not into men (I don't think), his excuse for not wanting Hawke is that he isn't into humans in general. 

 

Correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, but it seems as though Bioware has stood on far shakier ground when making a character bi before. Given their track record it's perfectly plausible that Varric could be a bi love interest in DA:I. Though I can understand only feeling right about romancing him with a particular gender. 

 

Either way, people who might be made uncomfortable by the thought of him hitting on a certain gender (except in a joking manner) need not worry. I'm pretty sure he'll be making Inquisitor's of any gender/race jump through hoops before they'll be able to gain access to any sort of "romantic content" from him. This guy's really good at keep his feelings bottled up.
