So, not to get super political on my art tumblr BUT i saw someone talk about a modern DA2 AU where Anders is an activist, and i expanded the thought, thinkin bout him as an anarchist actively fighting against authority & capitalism thru collaboration & organizing events & a few rotten eggs, and I loved it and got super excited and wanted to draw it a billion times, so i did! im definitely channeling some of my friends and mine ~Queer Leftist Agenda~ towards this AU lol.
Hawke is a more chill supporter that doesnt always get the whole scene or agree with the methods but nevertheless supports his bf
A few months ago I made a post about Dragon Age Hercules AU and tbh I still can’t let go of this. In this AU Garrett Hawke is Hercules, obviously. While I was discussing this with my friend, we got ridiculously excited about the idea of Varric being Philoctetes (because come on that’s perfect). And of course, Anders is the love interest, Megara. I find this AU rather brilliant because much like Hercules, Hawke is also someone who turns from “zero to hero”. At first he’s nothing but a farmer, who leaves his home and starts a new life in a strange city. There he meets Varric, who teaches him how to survive in Kirkwall. As a result, he becomes the hero people adore, the champion of Kirkwall.
Upon arriving at Kirkwall he meets his sassy love interest Anders. Anders falls head over heels in love with Hawke. Just imagine Anders singing “I won’t say I’m in love” while pining after Hawke for three years lmao.
The feeling is completely mutual. Hawke is smitten. And Varric is banging his head trying to get his attention like “Earth to Hawke! Stop staring at that mage booty, we have work to do.“
(Btw Anders filling the role of Meg is rather suitable, because like Meg, Anders also witholds something from his LI and while some people see it as “betrayal”, Anders is just doing something he has to do, and that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love Hawke.)
Also I couldn’t resist making this one:
(Yes Anders apparently has FABULOUS long hair in this universe don’t judge me.)
So yeah. I want this AU.
I should learn to draw so I could draw all of this instead of making awful photoshop edits.
