heyyy reaver fans 😁😁😁😁 this is based off of a reference I saw on pinterest like forever ago and thought omg reaver no way .. and then I started this and abandoned it for like forever. but I finally went back to it and finished it this weekend!!! it kind of reminds me of a painting he would have in his mansion a little bit. I think I didn't draw him ugly enough reaver is uglier than this. also please don't look at the flowers and candles that is NOT the focus

Damn even the Gnomes want Reaver! HE IS TOO POWERFUL!

Tell me what you know you fucking gnome...

Some Reaver Analysis + Some Headcanons + Including Spreaver

Reaver's home is always in dissaray. Showcasing the utter state of his mind and the level of depression he is enduring.

His hedonistic lifestyle is a symptom of his Immortality. His inability to feel alive anymore and as such, his endless search for something that will make him feel again.

Everything is also a desperate attempt at a distraction. He is plagued by nightmares of what happened in Oakvale, as such, the women and men, the parties, the fighting, the drinking. It's all a way to distract himself. And since he can't die, he can abuse it to extentions far above what mortals can do. It's terrifying.

Having lived for so long. His utter disregard for human life is relfection that he doesn't really see anyone as real people. He's watched people come and go. The only real people, the only people he's ever had any tangible bonds and attachments to are ash under Oakvale. The world isn't real to him, not like it used to be. (Think Solas from DAI)

I always wondered if him becoming Immortal had less to do with a fear of death, and more of a self-righteous notion that he had to be some eternal guardian. Having Hero blood, the Reaver from before helped people. He had a loving community. A wife he loved (or just a lover or even a daughter or a sister) He was by all accounts, a hero. And with being put on a pedastel, he decided he needed to be around in Albion for all eternity. The price of his Hubris was everyone he ever loved.

SPREAVER

However, under the notion that he finds love again with Sparrow;

He kicks the Travelers from Bower Lake because they're a reminder of Sparrow (who is dead by the time of Fable 3) Sparrow was raised by the travelers. In every way except blood, they are Sparrow's people. Reaver doesn't want to look from his mansion and see that reminder of them. So he boots them out. Likely to also get back at Sparrow for dying and leaving him.

Also his entire thing about essentially ruining Albion also makes me wonder if he's trying to get back at Sparrow for dying. Making the place they wanted to protect a miserable hell hole.

Simultaneously, while masking it as pure and utter greed (and it likely is also this) he's trying to help Logan live up to the impossible standards set on him after Sparrow. Who was a beloved, benevolent ruler.

He stays at court to be nearer to his children. (or, with M!Sparrow. nearer to his lover's children) the only piece he has left of Sparrow.

And then he grew up and sacrificed all his neighbours to the Shadow Court.

Of course

This shouldn’t have made me laugh as much as it did 😭😭😭😭

I was going to actually put more effort in this but then I fell asleep and gave up

sOoOoooo take it raw

Ah, it's fantastic that I casually watch documentaries and shows that include Stephen Fry whether or not I know it until I hear/see him. Everytime I hear HIM.

Audio is from Last Chance to See (Blue Whale) with Stephen Fry

Oh. Well that explains it

why is he so babygirl here

Ok that’s fair. Good luck 👍

I'm writing a fic between Reaver and Sparrow during before reign as Queen and I need you to know that The Great TV show is literally my source of inspiration because CATHERINE AND PETER ARE REAVER AND SPARROW
