Thedoran "Thel" Mercar is a trans man from Tevinter and member of the Shadow Dragons. While he originally tried to transition in more... classical ways, he eventually got so depserate that he paid a blood mage to change his body.

tl;dr Thel's mother tried to have him killed.
Longer version of this: Thel is a child of a magister in Tevinter, and he was born without magic. He has been an embarassment for his mother. His father (an Orlaisian mage married for money and fresh blood) was not very involved in raising Thel. /

Frankly, as someone who in their Dorianmancer playthrough sided with the Templars for Roleplay Reasons: Dorian coming in to warn of Corypheus' forces approaching is hot as fuck.

What is the hottest thing your favourite #dragonage character has done? (Yes, you can say your OC. That's a valid answer. Your OCs are hot.)
Pictures, videos or memes appreciated (but not a requirement, feel free to just talk) 😁

For Thel it is the fact that Lucanis is small. Thel as a trans guy is a bit smaller than your average human man, so he had kinda always had a thing for men smaller than him. (There is a reason his first partner was a dwarven smuggler.) And he met Lucanis his mind instantly went: "He is small. Heh!"

My Warden Kim kinda ends up being quite... freaky in the sense that he is up for pretty much anything in terms of sexuality. Which is because... Well, he learns about those things from Zevran - and the two of them do not have a healthy relationship.

How about a sillier question today. Interpret this any way you want: How freaky is your OC?

I am answering for my Inquisitor André Travelyan for this. Because he was originally so distrustful towards Dorian. For one, because Dorian was a mage, but also because he was a Vint. But over time he started to really see reflections of his own struggles in Dorian. And one thing lead to the other

When did your OC fall in love with their love interest? How did it happen? When did they realize they were in love?

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.
My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

The United States is in material breach of over five hundred - yes, 500 - legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations.
And lest you say that's because of Trump, we were in breach of at least 350 under both of the last two Democratic administrations.
So yes, we are an illegal occupation.

Can’t believe the Irish tried a version of UBI, found it worked, and decided to keep it rather than commission another study.
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I was seven when my uncle did explain "the ecnomy" to me. I just looked at him and pointed out the many ways it did not make sense. He told me I would understand it when I am older. I have a degree in economy by now. The senselessness still persists.

j.k. rowling should be understood, first and foremost, as a misogynist. she just sometimes cloaks her misogyny by accusing others of sexism. see how she denigrates emma watson as an ungrateful, spoiled, bratty princess. this is solely because watson refuses to be a transphobe
this is the most miserable woman alive. she’s alienated herself from everyone who ever loved, respected, or trusted her and sees any attempt at conciliation as an underhanded attack. she is in a mind jail of her own creation that will just grow more and more isolated as she marches to the grave
