spicyshimmy:poupon:at first I was like I’ma draw something for that DA Lady thing what’s happening on LJ and then I was like*screams into pillow*I’ll post the frame i drew in a biti fell in love with aveline from the moment i played the demo of da2, which is—can you believe this—rounding up on something close to a year ago now. i never looked back, and that love only grew deeper with time. it all started somewhere around her mouth, somewhere on her shoulders, somewhere in the set of her jaw and the knit of her brow, but i never knew just how much she’d come to mean to hawke, or how she’d be there for everything; even with a life of her own, even with a family of her own, hawke can look back to that moment when aveline turned and their eyes first met. even though it doesn’t seem like it at the time, it’s the point when hawke’s family finally begins to grow again, instead of continuing to diminish. throughout all the losses and all the gains, nothing ever quite balancing out in the end, there’s one thing hawke can depend on, and that’s aveline vallen’s shield-arm. she’s all the more beautiful for it—squinting into the heat, into the wind—a consistency and a constancy in a life and a family ever-changing. those shoulders, so simple here, and so powerful. if they can hold up a guard-captain’s armor every day without fail, they’re still good for someone to lean on every now and then. -- source link
