I think Gale dog ears his books, he puts whatever he can find as a marker (banana peel? A shoe? Whatever is at hand), he scribbles on the margins, annotates them, drinks tea and eats next to his books and sometimes he stains them. I believe Gale loves books as a source of knowledge, of joy, and when you love reading you read wherever you are, your books become stained, water damaged, there’s sand and grass between the pages, lost bills, unintentional pressed flowers. Books are meant to be loved, to be LIVED, they’re not meant to stand pristine in a bookshelf shrine.

He lends books, he doesn’t care -much- if people don’t give them back because he’s more interested in sharing knowledge. He never forgets a stolen book, though, and he holds grudges if people give the books back without reading them at all.

Maybe he does take care of some books, irreplaceable tomes perhaps, but his fingers itch to annotate, to make the pages his own.

His bookshelves are exceptionally well catalogued, though, he has a whole system. The same can’t be said about his potions and ingredients, as Tara graciously reminds him haha.

It’s my tumblr and I can headcanon whatever I want.

Anders doesn’t take things like the feeling of rain on his skin for granted. All too aware of what it is to be denied such simple experiences, he savors them whenever he can.

Am I kicked out of the fandom yet?

Anyone else seeing some striking similarities between being a mage in dragon age and being queer in an unaccepting society? And the templars being cisheteronormativity? We have:

Anders.

"Ten years, a hundred years from now, someone like me will love someone like you, and there will be no Templars to tear us apart" Anders.

"I believe you fall in love with the whole of a person, not just the body" Anders.

(He has also been with a man before, who begged to kill him so he wouldnt be tranquil)

Cullen, a templar, who is so deeply ashamed of his attraction to a mage to the point of literally running away from her; also his repressed attraction and desires being used by demons to torture him

And then we have Dorian. What more should I say than his father trying blood magic conversion therapy?!

Children not being seen for themselves but what makes them different, hiding their identities and being hidden by parents so they wouldn't be subjected to this life. Or even worse - ruin the family reputation.

good smut is really a character study and that is final. i need it to be about vulnerability i need it to be about trust or lack thereof and most of all i need it to be emotional agony. thats what sex is for
