Gareth has an…interesting relationship with his parents. Hawke left to aid the Inquisition just after his 10th birthday and vanished. Fenris left a few years later chasing a lead to find her.
He was extremely close with his mother, & only saw his father on occasion

Vax’s mother was the only person to call him by his full name growing up & now he avoids it b/c it hurts too much to hear. He was too young when his father died to remember him.

He is the spitting image of their mother, while his sister takes after their father.

Work is super slow, so I’ve spent the last hour making a playlist for Gareth. Gotta love holiday weeks.

Sorry I'm late! I got distracted and had a mild crisis about my own OC yapping. So, a (maybe?) simpler question today:

Who is your OC's go-to party for adventuring?

Yes, I bought it when it first came out and funny story- i hatedddd it! I didn’t understand open world games at the time and got very confused. I came back to it a few years later with better understanding of gaming and had a blast!
Today's Dragon Age Poll: Did you play DAI within six months of its release?

A - Yes, yes I did
B - Nope
C - I can't remember
D - I am new to the fandom

Oof. What do you even say about a game that means so much?!
This game got me back into writing, connected me to a whole network of amazing people/artists/friends than I could have possibly hoped for. So much love and appreciation for it all. 💚

Happy birthday, Vax. 😘

Gareth & Neve meet/flirt many times before VG, so he is stoked when they team up with Varric. It’s not until their fight where Neve refuses to say ‘I love you’ out of fear of the upcoming fight that Gareth finally figures out what he’s feeling for her. My guy’s not great with emotions lol

Vax is drawn to Dorian the moment they meet in the Chantry. He’s one of the only people that treats him like a person, not a holy symbol & he becomes a source of comfort/security for him. He realizes it’s love after meeting Dorian’s father, although it takes Dorian MUCH longer to figure it out.

MY SON.

1000x thank you’s to the ever-talented @blackwallmancer.bsky.social for creating the absolute cutest thing I will ever own. 😍🤩🥹

I’ll have to post more pictures when I figure out where to keep him.

Gareth saw what leadership did to his mother, and never wanted to follow in her footsteps. He constantly worried about making the wrong choices, and only after the fade prison & reuniting with his family does he start to truly embrace his role. He never considers himself a hero, just a guardian.
November 17, 2025 at 1:17 PM
Vax never wanted to be a hero or a leader. He hated being trapped in the south, but felt compelled to help those in need despite vehemently rejecting the title of ‘herald’. Inquisitor wasn’t much better for him but it served a purpose. He largely considers himself a failure for not catching Solas.
November 17, 2025 at 1:12 PM
I’ve only got two I ever really talk about, so I’ve got a 50/50 shot at being right with Vax! Haha

Happy #DAFanFriday!

I will be posting a new question in the usual hours later today, but now is your time if you have any new (or old) fic or art or anything that you'd like to promote! Show us what you've created, what you're proud of!

💛 Vax is super secure and confident in his looks, but he does get self-conscious about a large scar on his neck he picked up during Inquisition.

💙 Gareth loves his eyes bc one of them is the same as his mother’s & he has so little of her left. He hates how much he looks like his father.
November 14, 2025 at 8:56 PM
My Vax fic has finally been updated!! It follows him from the end of the Trespasser DLC through the aftermath and the years that follow leading up to VG.

Lots of Dorian, lots of OC Lavellans, lots of fun!

Just, you know, putting it out there, I have no job and no immediate prospects and I love drawing for people.
I've made a new #commissions info page! If you're interested, please send me a DM here or on ko-fi! You can always find more of my art on the #edibleart tag as well to see lots more examples.

💛Until Inquisition, Vax considers his clan his home. After meeting Dorian, he realizes it’s wherever his vhenan is.

💙Gareth gets really attached to Minrathous after joining the Shadow Dragons, and eventually sees it has a true home.
#daOCqotd

What does your OC consider to be their home? Is it a place, a person, something else...?
