Semi related - if we ever need someone to play Danse, I nominate Tyler Hoechlin
And so it happens, he played a character that seemed rude, but has a heart of gold and a tragic past. He certainly has the eyebrows covered.

Thank you, I needed that cute Danse in my life. Really pissed off at everything atm.
Nothing like a cute guy to make you feel more calm!
Here's some cute Hawke and Anders to cheer you up
If I stop posting those two, assume I'm dead
so, I never watched Teen Wolf but I looked up some more pictures and omg! I know what I'm gonna binge soon

Perfection. But now I'm depressed that I don't have my very own Hawke to cuddle. Dammit!
But this is good, I'll live vicariously through fanart!

It has its up and downs, they sadly ended up queerbating, and season 5 is sans this precious guy. If you want to see it, finish on 3b and never look back (they destroyed a lot of characters in 4, and that cute guy is only for 5 minutes on screen for that entire season). After 3b in my opinion, it's not worth watching, even if you end up really liking it.

You and me both, brother.

They were supposed to pair these two (mr. real life Danse and little sarcastic puppy)
They had chemistry and shared love for sarcasm and dry humor, people wanted that, and it seemed actors were on board, hell, the producers were. And then they weren't for some reason. Starting season 4 they were shoved into hetero romances, which were very very ooc. The writer who is gay got angry, actors went into full amnesia, they started treating the fans of the pairing like crap (including an actor who plays a different character, who described the fans of this "sick and twisted"), and no one knows what the hell happened. A lot of drama and bitterness.
If only my Male Hawke felt the need to be somewhat threatened by another guy; he'll Romanced Anders. (My dislike of Anders stems off my romance with him friendship. Yeah...... Don't do dat....)
Nope. No character hate here, pls. This is my favourite fictional romance, and it emotionally means a lot to me.

Yeah, it does some major queerbating. Granted, I can't stop watching the old episode, cause of this.

Meh, now that all the good gifs pop up I gotta go to work ... I'll have some catching up to do later

And this

Yep. I usually like guys with a bit more fur and some fat to go with the muscles, but this will do too. (they let him stop shaving too late)

Knock knock, it's your my dream husband.
Dorian seems to remind me too much of Zevran in term of personality. Maybe it's just me, but these types of personality just don't appeal to me. I guess I'm more into clumsy, adorkable personality like Alistair or Danse, maybe shy like Cullen.
I legitimately realized it this last playthrough, Dorian IS pretty much a Zevran clone - they both fill the 'lovable rogue' archetype, both have this attitude of casual confidence and flirtation, both are hiding a desire for something more than casual under this act of nonchalance, both have a quest involving someone wanting to take them back to a homeland they've abandoned... It really almost feels like all David Gaider did was pull out his character notes for Zevran, crossed out his name and wrote Dorian and changed the character from a bisexual rogue elf to a gay mage human.
And as for Dorian's story, I know I've said this before and elsewhere, but it just did nothing for me. It was almost beat for beat like an after school special I've seen a thousand times before. And I am not criticizing those who relate to that story, I want to emphasize that. But I've seen it before and it remains not MY story. Like, my story, my experiences as a gay man, have not been the angst of coming out and the associated drama. It's self-confidence issues (part of what makes Cullen so appealing, particularly that thing he says at the endgame about how this had been his chance to prove himself TO himself...). Or hell, it's body image issues - the gay community is so restrictive about what it deems 'acceptable' body types, and, being overweight and approaching my thirties, mine is only seen as such in a particular scene that I am not a part of. But this is never approached in media - heterosexual writers have no idea about how ununified the gay community actually is and the divisions and fractures within it, and the gay writers are often part of the problem.
But yeah, this is why I'm in here complaining and ranting and raving. Because I'm tired of not seeing my story in what few gay characters I'm "given." I'm at a point where I don't want to be content with what I get, because you know? I think I should be getting a fair shake, not just a handful of scraps I'm told that I should treat like a five course meal.

Agreed 100%.

Yep, that's the body type I love. Like I've shared here http://forum.bioware...mor/?p=20016315 and this
I like how Hawke looked bulkier in DAI, it's like Varric made him a bit slimmer to appeal to the general audience of the Tales of the Champion. Not me, though
I need to revise my post and the editor will not allow me to do it.
And Anders was my first romance in DA2. I wasn't happy with him, this isn't criztism, its more like it was the biggest shock to me when I realized I was helping Anders build a bomb... Because I had no idea what he was doing in the first place. Hes not my favorite by all means - i just would've pefered it if Anders had an opotion to separate him and Justice.... Sighs. I hate Justice so SO so CRAP much for messing up Anders.
You came off strong. Fair enough. I just get tired of 'let's kill Anders for the chantry' for also some personal reasons.

I'm chubby and reaching mid twenties, and I'm too old looking to be a cub, too young to be a bear, too everything to fit anywhere, so I feel your pain. But I did have a lot of coming out drama, so I did like Dorian.
