"Secret Santa: Border-Hopping" for EccentricSage on BSN!
[ DeviantArt | AroWrites.Net ]
( AWN copy is in case DevArt isn't loading images properly for folks. The full description is on DevArt. )

1000 x 1000, 24 hours in MS Paint.

Warning: Involves slash. And Alistair. If you don't like that, I don't care... just don't bother to look. :D

Call it NSFW just to be sure, but it's no worse than the art in my icon.

*glees* Thank you! :D

[andorin]

That is one amazingly hot piece of art! I can't decide if I want to join in or just keep my distance and watch them at it.

[niniane]

Ah, interesting. In that case, the one I was assigned was obviously a cruel joke. Oh well...

[elysium_fic]

Yeah, I think it was sometime in early November. There was some special anniversary celebration or some such, with a different event each day, and the mod post with the announcement of the day's event was heralded with a glitter banner.

Yeah. IDEK.

[elysium_fic]

So it was YOU who posted the misogynist review I got at ff.net.

*narrow look*

Mystery solved. I'm onto you now!

[elysium_fic]

Mmm. This makes me happy.

[aroihkin]

Yes! *dramatic cape sweep* ALL MISOGYNY ON THE INTERNET IS MEEEEEE!

ALL OF IT!

[aroihkin]

Woo! Thanks! :D

And I know the feeling. Someone on BSN asked me where Tannusen is and I couldn't decide if he would be below the frame or if he would be holding the camera and nosebleeding quietly. XD

[elysium_fic]

See, doesn't it feel better just to come clean about things?

Actually, I'm sure it wasn't you, even if you are a misogynist bastard. *g* Hackneyed metaphors aren't your style.


He should be allowed to experience the innocence of first love before he is to ride the town bike into happily ever after. Bad enough to be forced to plow a thoroughly planted field, worse when forced to harvest crops nurtured by the hands of another.

[aroihkin]

;)

For the record, I left before the mods could kick me out, lololol.

And I didn't even troll them! Alas.

[aroihkin]

That is some flowery-worded bullcrap right there. XD

Er, I mean... OF COURSE IT WAS ME.

[aroihkin]

I'm surprised there were many slashers on that comm to begin with, honestly.

But then I only lurked for about a week before the PMS brigade scared me off.

[elysium_fic]

Well, clearly.

I mean, after all, your distaste for promiscuous characters and sexual excess is perfectly evident in your own writing, yes?

[aroihkin]

Well Tannusen does get called a whore a lot.

But then again, he likes it.

[prisoner_24601]

Eh, I don't think it would particularly shock the swoopers, if that's what you're getting at. There are people who post slash there on occasion. It's a damned large community, and it would surprise me if there weren't some who would enjoy the pic. And if they didn't, their most likely reaction would be to ignore it politely. I doubt that slash would get their knickers in a twist.

To the OP - nice work. I totally buy that Alistair is about 3 beers from attempting something exactly like this in the game (despite the fact that you can't romance him as a dude - which makes no sense to me). If anyone could convince him to hop borders, it would be Zevran.

[elysium_fic]

See what I mean?

You're downright Puritanical!

[aroihkin]

Yeah but if I'm involved someone is going to rage. And I don't say that because of previous experiences in that comm so much as previous experiences everywhere.

I and everyone who's known me for a while refer to it as "the freak vibe". If there can be rage, it will be. And I'll be found somewhere in the middle of the blast zone scratching my head going "what did I break now?" XD

LOL three beers from it is the best way I've heard it described. I'll have to remember that one. XD He definitely trips a lot of people's gaydar, and I think it's just as IC to make him bi-but-clueless as to make him totally straight.

And I'm not even someone who slashes up every male character I see. (S&S doesn't count. It's the k!meme.)

*drools*

[taisin.livejournal.com]

Oh, perfect!!! *hurries to fav*
My favorite pairing! (and I'm not even a slash lover, like - at all. DAO seems to be an exception to my "don't like slash" rule...)

[prisoner_24601]

Yeah, I'm not one who sees slash everywhere myself and I tend to miss homoerotic subtext quite often, but someone mentioned on the Dragon Age lj comm last side quest saturday that their Aedan had more chemistry with Alistair than with any of the other love interests and was about a bottle of wine away from trying out the other team. It was sort of a hilarious conversation where everyone who chimed in was like "OMG that's so true!" So I had to fire up my abandoned dude Cousland game to see if she was right, and omg she totally was. Bioware should have just rolled with it and made him a love interest for both genders.

But then again, this really shouldn't be much of a shock, since he was written by David Gaider who wrote the most unintentional slashiest bromance ever with Maric and Loghain in The Stolen Throne. (I am sort of baffled by the lack of Loghain/Maric slash fic in fandom, actually.) And since Alistair is so similar to Maric, it makes sense.

[darkrose]

Well Tannusen does get called a whore a lot.

Wait...that's bad?

Whore!Alistar: Who knew?

[darkrose]

Alistair is such a three-beer queer. It's almost painful.

One of the things on my list is the modern-day AU where Alistair has to go to a gay leather bar as part of his frat initiation....and he runs into his dad's best friend, Loghain.

Because Loghain in full leathers doing Daddy/boy play with twink!Alistair really, really needs to happen.

*does the "It's My Fault" dance*

This might be the best GIF ever.

So not only do you draw my current OTP, but the title gives me a happy. :)
