I'm really just looking to troll the trolls. I could probably just write that in my profile too. It's not like they read it.

Alistair Theirin (Dragon Age: Origins): that high school boyfriend who died for me to kill an Archdemon will be forever young and perfect
Fenris (Dragon Age II): that old flame who will always be irresistibly attractive and whenever we're in the same room we can't seem to keep our hands off each other
