Your gif gives me no choice but to post this.

 

Wang Fire, that is no way to treat your son. And shame on you, Sapphire Fire, for letting your husband punish your son for dancing.

I'm going to post this one on behalf of Foel, because he isn't here and he always misses our big celebrations...

@Nat;
I teared up a bit. :') Thanks for sharing that.

[fiveforchaos]

I'll just be over here...quietly....and not touching anything.

Aww *hugs a Clockwork* we love you Clockwork, weirdly appropriate username and all .

[Clockwork_Wings]

I seem to break reality wherever I go.

No problem.  When your little one is older, and she starts asking questions, I figured that was the best way to handle it.  I can promise you, the things you say and the lessons you teach when they are 3-5 years old will stick with them for the rest of their lives.  Also, I understand it can be a little awkward for parents in how to address a homosexual couple.  Just remind them that love is love, no matter who it is, as long as it's happy and healthy.

I'm a page late but congrats on 300 pages guys!

[Clockwork_Wings]

I think I will not be around for page 400.  Give someone else a chance to FIRST for a change.

I should go to bed but I keep thinking "what if they drop something on us while I'm asleep?!!"

[OracleofWar]

I am going to sleep shortly myself, I hope there's some amazing news when I wake up in seven hours!

I KNOW.

 

Fifteen minutes earlier, and I would've been fine. Gah!

It was the dancing Yoda wasn't it?  It summoned you...

[Foelhe]

Probably the dancing Yoda, yes.

 

I was actually reading the older threads to catch up - we got pretty busy after I left so I thought there might be news. Ah, well.

I wonder if that would work on Mary..

[Grieving Natashina]

I would be remiss if I didn't add my dancing gif.  

 

[Ajna]

Ok, I'm going to bed, if they do drop anything on us while I'm asleep remember to celebrate for me because I don't expect you to wait for me to wake up...no really I don't.

 

Night guys!

No, it doesn't sound wrong to me at all.  Remember, you're talking to a pansexual woman.  I've dated those that were pre-op trans*, those that were genderqueer.  Straight people, bisexual/pan people, and all of those in-between before I got married.  What I've found in the 20 years since I realized I was bi/pan was that:

 

1) Both genders are extremely beautiful, or at least they can be.  Sometimes, it can be as simple as the light in their eyes when they see you.

 

2) Both genders like to be treated much the same way.  They like to be held, assured, and caressed.  They love to be told that they are appreciated; attractive; and held dear by the one they love.   Sadly, I think the big reason why straight men don't usually express this is because they've been kinda groomed not too.

 

3) Both genders can be extraordinarily romantic.  Whether it be remembering a favorite food, an inside joke, or pointing out flowers in bloom, this sense of beauty is something everyone has.  It's just a matter of letting your guards down enough.

 

Here's something I've known for most of my life.  Forgive the personal story here, but I really means a lot and it shaped who I became.  This was one of the most important things I've ever learned.  Jewlie, I wanted to share this with you in particular.

 

When I was a kid in 1984 (so I was 4-5 years old,) I had a friend that was black.  Her and I would walk down the street holding hands, playing make believe, the usual girl stuff.  This may come as a surprise, but even in California in 1984, less than 50 miles away from Berkely, I got shouted well...n-word lover.  Most of them were by kids, but there was a few adults.  The whole way down the block.  When my mom and the other parents found out about that, they hit the roof.  That stopped very quickly.

 

However, I was still feeling scared and uncertain.  Like somehow, I had done something wrong.  A few weeks later, my family was visiting a married couple, that had a kid around our age.  I finally went up to my mom and asked if I had done something wrong.  She took me aside and pointed at her friends, who were interracial.  She said, "Tell me what you see there sweetie."  I said, "I see two people in love."  She said, "Then that's all you ever need to know."

 

I take those words with me 30 years later, even with a fictional character like Varric.  Big or small, as long as it's true and healthy, love is just love.  Gay, straight, bi, interracial, those with dwarf-ism, it's doesn't matter.   Everyone with a good heart deserves to be loved.  And I wish more folks would take that to heart.

 

...and I made another wall of text.  I really need to quit doing that.

 

 

Now THAT was beautiful.

[Grieving Natashina]

Aww, thank you.  

 

 

And now something completely different.   An image of Peter Dinklage hula-hooping at a gay bar:

Gods bless that man.

God bless indeed . Now someone with artistic talent's gotta make a version of this with Varric.

Varric hula hoping a little drunk with a rainbow colored hoop?  That has got to happen in fanart.

[blissfulbhajan]

Finally I've found people who are as hopeful for this as I am. I have little more to add than anyone else here has but I'm really crossing my fingers on this one. I'd just be very surprised, based on how popular Varric is with the fans, to see him not be a LI, much like how Garrus' popularity got him LI status in Mass Effect.

He'd be a perfect candidate for a race gated romance. The dwarf rig is small so they probably wouldn't have wanted to go through all the extra effort to make him romanceable by all races (like they did for the iron bull). They say that the race gated characters are gated for "story reasons" and again I see Varric being perfect to fit there. He's only ever mentioned an interest in dwarf girls, being in DA2 he makes mention that he wishes the Hanged Man had a couple of "cute dwarven girls" to make it better and his only known romantic relationship was also with the dwarf, Bianca.

 

I had just figured for so long that they could make him an LI to be so close the end of the list and him not be on it (yet) is disheartening. Sigh. 

[Grieving Natashina]

Welcome to our thread and the forums!  If you check the OP, there is actually thousands (literally) of fans that want a Varricmance.  Between tumblr, facebook and deviant art, we are far from alone.  We'll just the hopefuls on the official forums, so don't be fooled.   I felt the same way too, until I found this thread and these lovely ladies and gents. 

 

You're always welcome here, salroka.  Many others in this thread and across the net feel the same way.  Also, if you're feeling down, check out the Optimism List™ as well as our thread motto in the OP.

I love our Optimism List. It's a tear saver. Haha
