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.

Repost with your OC & let people comment what song they think of when they see them ✨

Oh boy how fun! Gotta go with my Inky! #VaxLavellan

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

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.

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.

I’ve only got two I ever really talk about, so I’ve got a 50/50 shot at being right with Vax! Haha

💛 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.

You did such a wonderful job with Vax, would you be able to do my Rook, Gareth, too??

His colors are deep reds and navy and his flowers are snapdragons!

Inquisition —> Veilguard

Vax goes through a lot over the course of 10 years but still comes out of it all with a glow up and a husband. 👌🏻👌🏻

Fun fact: Gareth and Neve actually crossed paths several times in the years leading up to VG, but never knew each other’s names until they reunite at the start of the game.

Happy 1 year of Veilguard and my first ever Rook, Zea. I haven’t shared her here before, but what a perfect time right?

Sharing a couple photos of Gareth from Dmeta’s Crossing. This play through is gonna be slower because I’m working on his fic at the same time.

I humbly offer my Inquisitor, Vax Lavellan.

He works best with deep, earthy colors (deep greens, blues, greys, browns) and his flower is Alstroemeria.

The lighting in this scene was incredible. Look at my sweet baby boy.
