I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this but it really doesn’t make sense for an elf in Dragon Age to have a fuller figure. Not only do they biologically have smaller bodies than humans, most of them are either extremely poor or live a nomadic lifestyle, so they probably aren’t getting enough calories in comparison to their energy output to put on weight. It’s great to see artists draw OCs with different body types, especially considering that you can’t change your body without mods in the games, and I like seeing fuller-figured humans, dwarves and Qunari, but it just doesn’t make sense for elves.

See, this is where I have Opinions™

Let people be fat.

Just because canon supports certain things doesn’t mean you have to uphold it. Its the whole reason AU exists, right ?

The thing is that all people have all different body types and hey, if I wanna be a fat elf then I’m damn well gonna be a fat elf, because honestly in real life I am a fat elf

Dragon Age (and all video games in general) aren’t entirely sensitive to race or size or gender even when they’re trying. I give them kudos for trying but even they make mistakes. Many, many mistakes. So therefore they don’t really put into consideration ‘hey chubby and fat people play this game’

If dwarves and humans and quanari can be fuller, why not elves? Why should a Quanari lady whose been a mercenary for years have ‘curvy and fleshy womanly hips’? If all dwarves are small and blocky does that mean they can’t be thin?

I just wanna be the fat, plus-size person that I am in peace.

I’m in all honesty trying to be nice about this and am genuinely sorry if it comes across wrong, and what I won’t apologize for is my my opinion.
