i'm late with valentine's themed artwork... but it doesn't mean i abandoned the idea ;p

 

i was craving for some nsfw artworks lately, so i managed to draw one

 

leaving link, since i think you can't post nsfw pictures on the forum

 

 

pretty much i'm changing my sexuality to varric's arms... maaaan, those guns ♥

 

Oh, goodness. You outshined yourself again, Morie. This is so great! how do you dwarf anatomy even

So it turns out I'm not alone with Varric's arms... damn it. He got better guns than anyone in the inner circle. 

 

(Sorry for the stupid question, but what armor set is the one that shows off his arms? All of the stuff I have for him has sleeves, and I can't seem to find the one. ;n;)

 

I can't read back on the thread pages because of a painting for college and all that, but damn. So many new works! I've read the latest on It's Hard Being a Gentleman during my breaks, and I can't wait for the next! So many fics to read and write...

YES! HIS ARMS ARE AMAZING!! ;3; i've always been more into male hands and arms than body hair xD just that kind of fetish i posses

 

UGHHH STAHP! you're giving me a lot of feels... and not all of them are fluffy ones x3

/sigh male hands. Prolly the first thing I look at on a man :D A good pair hands..yeah... :wub: But I also love men with body hair.../sigh...Varric=perfect...sexy bastard :P

dwarf anatomy is kind of a tricky one, they kind of have normal human proportions (7 lengths of the head), but they are like "compressed" humans, that's how i explain it to myself ;p bulky and wide rather than tall. 

 

hahah then let me join your "varric's arms appreciation club" xD

 

i don't remember exactly which recipe this was, and my game is unfortunately with polish subs, but i know that i crafted him an armor i got from the war table perks, and this was the sleeveless one too ;u;

When it comes to dwarf anatomy all I could think of is the below average height & stocky build (I never seen a skinny dwarf in a video game). I wonder if their arm length is any different. And speaking of length........well Varric did make that comment about his reach & Bianca's flexibility. Good thing Cassandra is flexible lol.

Morie, you made my day! I am really a big fan of your drawings and I noticed this one as well inspired some writers. Great job! :)

Oh yeah, I feel the same way! I am just too impatient for works in progress ;). But then again, I'm always excited to see a new chapter and it's so nice to know what happens next :).

 

I really start to like the Dreaming Red fic. And I can't wait for the next update of It's Hard Being A Gentleman!

The longer it goes on, the bigger you expect the payoff to be. A few chapters ago, a growing and illicit attraction would've been fine. Now, they better have slept together. If it lasts a few more chapters, I dunno...they secretly got married in a drunken ceremony in Vegas? :)

*disgusted noise*


Most of the stuff I post rates a disgusted noise. You'll have to be more specific. :lol:

I sincerely, sincerely doubt it. I've read some of the author's other stuff, and I don't think she (I'm assuming a she, anyway, because I can't think of a fanfic writer I know who writes romance stuff who is a dude) would do that but...

Stop it, you are killing me *laughs*! Angst and drama is ok, as long as I can keep on reading and the happy ending just waits for me 10 or 50 pages later. But with the wips... *sigh* it just takes too long. Now what does that say about me except that I'm impatient? B)

Oh good. Glad you liked it. I'm not a review wh0re by any stretch, but when the only person who reviews it says Loghain and Hawke suck, I was like, crap, guess I royally screwed this chapter up. So maybe it's not all bad. I have one fan. :lol:

To be honest, I'm still not sure why I put those two in there like I did, it just felt right for some reason. Totally unplanned but I really like them now...which could just be my conceit as a writer. I dont know, maybe that part of it doesn't especially work.

But thank you, I am glad you overall enjoyed it!

While I wouldn't say I am waiting with bated breath about what happens with Loghain and Hawke, their scenes are hardly sucky, and as with this whole story , their POV's are very well written. I also loved the scene with Hawke and Varric about his fears. Again, very well done.

What Varric said to Hawke was a bit :/ Poor Hawke.

What Varric said to Hawke was a bit :/ Poor Hawke.

Yeah, it was not nice, but I kinda liked it because I think the one thing Varric is terrified of is vulnerability. And I think when he was called on it, he lashed out.

I also kind of like the fic in general because the characters are a tad...how do I want to say this...unpredictable? I can see how it can upset people who are expecting a certain thing, but I don't know about anybody else, but I kinda like the slight edginess. The characters are recognizable but not stereotypical. I think sometimes it does fail, but when it works, it works very well.

And I don't mean that as an insult, because if you could successfully pull it off all the time, well. You wouldn't be writing in fanfiction.net.

I guess what I'm saying in my meandering way is that you take a few chances, and that's cool. Most fanfics I read, I can tell within the first few chapters where it's going and how it's going to end. I mean, I enjoy the journey, but I'm not surprised. I still don't know with your fic if it's going to end happily or sadly which is nice.

(ETA: well, not "nice" if you have them break up or die or something. Just the ability to be surprised is nice. Seriously, they live happily ever after. Right? Right??)

Also, I don't know if you saw my discussion before, but count me as a Loghain/Hawke person now. It's not a traditional relationship, but I think it's totally awesome and screw the person who said they didn't like it.

Absolutely. I think that scene really made me love Varric in this fic, not because of what he said to her, but that it made him (and forgive me for this) so human. Who of us can say we haven't lashed out at one time or another when someone calls us out on our sh**. Even if they were completely right,it hurts. That scene was perfect in my opinion.

Hey there, I don't post often here(my bad because the company is nice) but I do read most of what you guys linked ( this pair grows on you :P ). And I like your story, and the relationship Loghain and Hawke have, they both have loved and lost and done great and terrible things and  know by now that happy endings are probably not coming their way, so their bonding makes a lot of sens.

And your story have something that a lot of fics and even "proper" book miss. At some point the hero has to fail (in the sens of doing something non heroic), so he/she can be more human abd overcome it so he/she can become a hero again. That is my feeling anyway, I like my heroes to fail, I don't have time for semi-gods riding shiny steeds :P .

 

So kudos for that.

 

And long live the Cassandra/ Varric thread :lol:
