#Tabristair

[maskwoodsart]

“He’s more than I deserve… and I hope I make his days easier as well."

I haven't drawn Tabristair in actual YEARS (Last one in 2019... oy). I need to do it more often I love my warden, he's my little guy.

some unfinished paintings I’m leaving alone. Sometimes you spend hours and still don’t get what you want and part of being an artist is to let it go!

Fanfic Self-Rec Thing

Thanks for the tag, @fandomn00blr, this has given me an excuse to go look through my fics! Idk who to tag, but if you see this and do it, please tag me, I love to see it

I hadn’t published anything in a while before this year, so all but one of these are old, but oh well. I’m also gonna include testimonials from the comments, cause that’s fun innit

1. Same Time, Same Place (Explicit, 4/6 chapters, 24,772 words) A post-canon Our Flag Means Death Lucius/Izzy fic, in which they’re each separately stranded in Nassau, losing their minds, and looking for a distraction from the horrors. Subtitle should be Izzy Hands and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known. While this is not finished yet, it is planned and I work on it literally every chance I get, so... it’s going.

From the comments: “[T]his fic is such a joy... it's so fun and funny to read. Beautiful writing, insane chemistry--love it, love it." (I get so many great comments on this one T.T)

2. Warm (Explicit, one-shot, 1,416 words) A little Merribela I wrote for a prompt and actually really like. It’s the last in a rough series, but I haven’t gotten around to actually putting them into one on Ao3, so there’s context but I think it’s evident enough you don’t need to have read any others.

From the comments: “This is so lovely and bittersweet...There's so much going on between Isabela's actions and the words she's not saying, and it tugs at me.”

3. Bitten (General-Explicit, 7 one-shots of various lengths but altogether 10,586 words) Both isolated and adrift in a place that doesn't quite feel like home, Carver and Merrill have a lot in common. Maybe even enough to overcome their massive differences. I ship everyone with Merrill and I’m not sorry about it lol

From the comments on Fingers (which is maybe my favorite one): “The perfect amount of sweetness and passion!”

4. A Visit (Teen, 929 words) An Awakening Tabristair fic - there’s a whole series for these two, but it’s all old and this is the only one I still like writing-wise. Also a prompt fill!

From the comments: “ so sweet and full of the single greatest angst mechanism in fanfiction-- pining”

5. Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of Your Fist (Teen, 1232 words) Directly post-DA2, platonic Warden Tabris/Anders. I just have to include two with my girl Halsa.

folks idk if the tabristair fic is gonna happen anymore bc i got dumped and i simply cannot continue it LOLLLLLL

[hurlockomega]

alistair for the ask game 😌

BLESS YOU. Also I apologize for the rant in advance.

first impression: honestly i thought he was a little annoying at first? i thought this was just some strange, funny frat boy assigned to me by handsome beard man, but then all of a sudden halfway through lothering im heart eyes in a wheat field?? i was like how tf did we get here i thought i didn't care about you?? so then i talk to him some more in camp and i find out he has Childhood Trauma™ and he's a little awkward and then i was in deep so fast. 13 years later i'm still here. mentally i'm still in that wheat field in lothering talking to this man about griffons.

impression now: first of all i would go to war for this man, my socially inept disaster boy. he's only grown on me more over the years and it's not stopping i love him so much. he's kind, he has a good heart, he's patient, he's petty, he's hilarious, he's childish (he's 19 he's forgiven) he's smart, he's insecure, i love him, i love him, i love him. i romance this dude once a year. i am beyond help.

favorite moments: god where to start. Uhhhhhh. paraphrased bc idr exactly: - when he mimicks morrigan's voice in the swamp. "First it's [I like you], then zap, frog time." - Put on a dress and dance the Remigold scene at Duncan's campfire - "Now that the warm, fuzzy part of the day is over with we can get back to the ritual dismemberments. Oh, wait, it's not Tuesday, is it?" - When he goes "Yeeeeees???" when you click on him at like 80 approval and he's romanced - "The reason I said I was lucky." line before u enter Redcliffe (after he tells u about his father) - "Why do they call it a 'brothel?' There's no broth, is there?" - When u enter the Denerim market and he goes "You can get almost anything here. I once got pickpocketed." - His banter with Dog. - Any of his nervous rambling.

idea for a story: Listen. I have So Many. I write him every day. It's Zevistair/surana hours all day every day in this house. He's one of the mains in my 200k+ words personal fic I use for creative therapy writing. I also want to write warden Alistair meeting Anders in Awakening together with a Surana or Amell that knows Anders. I'm also working on a modern AU dog walking fic. I want to write dialogue for him visiting the kennels when you sneak into Redcliffe castle. What if he had the warden's Sloth dream in the Tower, with Duncan. I want to write his first weeks as king. Stuff like that. unpopular opinion: Idk if it's still unpopular to think this but Alistair is biracial and brown. That is not a white man and Bioware whitewashed him to hell and back. Also he is bisexual. One Hundred percent. He gets so jealous when a male warden doesn't romance him (it's the most obvious when u romance Morrigan, but when u romance Zev he basically admits it when u ask him directly.) Again, idk if these opinions are still unpopular bc i exist in a carefully constructed echo chamber.

favorite relationship: romantic: Tabristair, Zevistair, Suranastair. non romantic: Sten, Duncan, Leliana.

favorite headcanon: This man is ND. Sometimes I write him more autistic leaning, sometimes adhd. Either way this man is ND. Also he is bi, but I consider that canon.

“A rare and wonderful thing you are...”

dont look at me, but i commissioned the wonderful @janearts to draw my darling Kanya and Alistair /// 

out of the list of all the people ive wanted to commission from, her artwork is at the top! please definitely check her work out! shes such an amazing artist, and a joy to work with <3

[pallas-cat]

there is just something about city elf tabris and half-elf alistair both having come from difficult conditions but for very different reasons, because tabris may have been leading a v difficult life but in a loving family while alistair was treated like complete shit by human nobles who should have been his family

and tabris welcoming him into her life with grit, anger but also so much care and love for the people in her community which will extend to him

anyway! tabristair good!

[jarinodragonage]

I commissioned @serphena to draw Manon and Alistair from the epilogue of my fic, The Littlest Chancellor, and I absolutely love how it turned out!!! :D

You should absolutely commission her if you get the chance!
