This thread and my suspiciously sad Pandora station are fuelling my fangirling this evening. Nearly on page 5. @_@ The writing is helping, haha.

 

Plus this thread. I'm keeping it up. It's good to have people to chat this over with since my hubby could not care less. He likes Solas, but he hasn't gotten to see the side of him that I've seen and he doesn't especially care to. xP It's nice chatting with people who understand and are even interested in the subject.

 

Hubby: Oh, you're sad? *smooches on Cass*

Me: *glares* Heartless bastard

 

I love my hubby

 

But don't tell him I'm cheating on him with this Solas thread/romance. <.<

 

Why have I hit my like quota for the day? Ha! My boyfriend is the same, he listens to me talk but he doesn't care for Solas. He beat the game and moved on. I can't move on.

 

I keep finding more songs. I need to get back to writing, if I can't give Solas a swift sharp kick upside the head for making this all more difficult than it needs to be then by god I can get that emotional fulfillment through fiction!

I feel like I may get banned here in a moment--if such a thing happens here, which I'm sure it does--but:

 

"Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling

 

I may have to switch to instrumentals because, damn, Pandora is unrelenting.

For your viewing pleasure, everyone's tarot cards.

Also, I really, really want to see Solas meet Merrill in a DLC at some point. If only for the whole Torchwood reunion thing.

Thanks for that!

I just did All New, Faded for Her again in my second play through

I don't know if I was rushing last time, but, I found a body on the ground and it caused him to fret because the ones dead were not mages and were clawed up. Then, there was the most... Devastated gasp as we got near the Pride demon.

 

Never heard that before. Broke my heart.

 

Poor Solas.

Just gorgeous. I am thinking about asking my uncle to do some sketches for me. He does some work with comic books, and I think he could come up with some great portraits of my Solavellan.

It's just not funny anymore...

 

Okay, maybe a little...

If it's any consolation I'm laughing at your expense. 

 

And the sun will be up in a few hours (that was a Yugioh Abridged reference).

This face most definitely says MUA HA HA to me.

 

 

This face looks to me that he's being touched very deeply by emotion and he's confused and doesn't know how to deal with it.

This face looks to me like "I'll be damned, she actually pulled it off, the shems respect her like they respected and loved no other elf"

headcanon time.

Do you think

the ancient elves

did yoga?? ?

 

wow it's late and i should go to bed

BUT I COULD HELP NOTICING Solas' outfit totally looks like it would be super easy to move around in.

 

Like.

 

I could see him getting up at the crack of dawn and just chilling - maybe out on one of the ramparts, or in the garden?

Doing stretches, breathing deep, enjoying the quiet. Not drinking tea.

Groaning as he works out a kink in his neck from staying up too late the night before reading. 

Stretching out his legs, sore from frequent use.

Flexing his hands, tense from gripping paintbrushes and wielding his staff. 

 

Slowly Skyhold would wake.

Servants, then soldiers, and eventually the guests of the castle would all be up and about.

 

Solas would then retreat to his study, away from the curious eyes of strangers staring at the elven apostate. 

But he would treasure those peaceful mornings at Skyhold.

I like this!

 

He definitely engages in meditation, so why not? He does eschew physical activity, but honing the body to better the mind might appeal to him. I suppose it all depends on whether or not it helps him get to the Fade. He's in good shape, he's got to be doing something.

[CardinalSin90]

My script follows differently but under the same premise of selfishness. I don't believe Solas confirms his feelings for her because part of him doesn't want to let go--which I'm sure it doesn't--but because it's the truth. And he'll hold that above anything else. His feelings were/are real, and that's a fact. So, truth.

Whether he denied his affection or affirmed it, my Lavellan would react the same: questioning and ruminating. She'd want to understand the complex snowflake, deconstruct him by examining every detailed crystal he has to offer, gain closure from learning his motives, and help him move forward--Maker knows that's what she's done for Thedas.

spoiler because remaining post runs on a tangent

Spoiler

My script also follows differently with how he departed in their third romance scene. I see it as Solas (pride, solace, alone) wanting to fix what he perceives as a mistake (i'm thinking waking the Old Gods will result in more bloodshed and stripped freedom), which he caused in the first place. Since he was the one to cause it, he thinks "i should be the one to make it better" type deal. It's a duty and a responsibility, and there's a probability of it pitting him against all the people she loves.

Separation will make fulfilling his task easier, because she, and her beliefs, makes him doubt. Doubt doesn't fit into the equation of "fixing" the world on his own. It skews it, in fact. Malfunction must not happen. Plan must be enacted. Give the improbability the boot before it can cause harm. Like how Corephy-spit intended to kill the Inquisitor, despite being an unknown rival. Ending the relationship fits his big picture. It's a path he chooses to walk alone, even if it hurts. He's worn but accustomed to enduring.

Pride is still Solas' folly. He thinks he can do it alone, but he can't, really. Releasing the Old Gods may alleviate his guilt, or provoke further guilt of yet another mistake (which would be releasing havoc on Thedas, should the gods just happen to be angry ).

It parallels with Cassandra and the Seekers, in a way. Difference is that Cassandra acknowledged needing help and chose not to walk her path alone, because what she was doing was larger than her, no matter her capability or wish to carry out a one-man-lead crusade.

Now, I do 100% agree with you on Lavellan's naivety. There are so many red flags surrounding Solas--one neatly erect on his bald head, a couple coming out of his ears, one on this nose... just all over. It's frustrating, too, how little elvish she knows. My Lavellan definitely has emotional intelligence, but she is also an inquisitive and intellectual being, although those are subtle and overshadowed by her compassion. It's a shame she doesn't get to explore thought more, or ask provoking questions to surprise Solas even further.

alas, now I'm going to make an air-headed, domineering Andrastian human who discriminates against all races, was cloistered as a child, demands for attention, wouldn't know the word "modesty" if it was branded onto his (i will be making an egotistical, testosterone-driven male, yes) spanking-ass butt cheek... yet still leads a powerful movement. i'm interested in how the inner circle will react in comparison to my humble, unassuming, knowledge-seeking, assertive, and sweeter-than-frilly cakes fem!Dalish.

Wow my FemDalish is almost the same as yours and I am intending to make an agnostic domineering human rogue but with a painful past

[Abelas]

I find it kinda amusing up until the punch actually happens (because I love Solas, even when he's pissed-off). And yeah, it's depressing to think that afterwards he's just going to isolate himself even more. He needs, I dunno, a support network or something. He always holds himself at arms length from everyone else (except perhaps Cole and a romanced Lavellan). That's why I loved his chess banter with Bull so much. I could just feel the blossoming of what could be a really valuable friendship for him. I wish we'd gotten more scenes of him interacting with the rest of the Inquisition.

 

Ahaha, I also admit having problems watching the punch; though the rest of the conversation is really fascinating. I guess Solas only slips out of that mask when he's beyond angry or with a romanced Lavellan, so it's interesting to see the two opposites. I think that if you play a Inquisitor he despises he truly gets set even more so in his ways. No doubt there. He clearly had low expectations to begin with, but seems disappointed when you do meet them. I wonder if and how these two variables will carry over into the future. 

[Addai]

The Dwight D. Schrute gif about Fenris letting Hawke go to Adamant alone is killing me. lol I was a Fenris romancer, too, and for my imported DA2 game that's definitely why I let Loghain take the final. A Redeemer ending at last. I let default Hawke stay behind, though, because he does make a good point about Corypheus being his responsibility.

Naturally with Solas the question is moot. But I do have a headcanon that Lavellan tracks down the bandits who destroyed her clan (in my game) and they're torn apart by wolves.

[TwoWardens]

Found another video that has a bit of conversation before the punch dialogue:

Spoiler

 

I wish that one line didn't skip, I want to hear Solas say "most secret desires". And "penetrating"   And I looooooove the haughty way he says "just not you". Zing!

 

Can't take any pleasure out of the actual punching, I just feel bad for him 

[M i l k y]

Ugh, just watched the punch scene. Made me feel very uncomfortable. No matter how smug or arrogant he is with you, or how much he broke your heart, he doesn't deserve to be physically assaulted. I'm sorry, I don't find it funny at all.

[Arahnea]

I wonder if the people who punched Solas had a moment of  "oh ****....I punched an Elvhen God..." when the post credit scene rolled...

 

And I wonder if he'll remember next time  they'll meet

I'm still awaiting the thread where people complain they couldn't kill him... 

 

Why is this thread moving so fast? 

 

I haven't been able to keep up since 200 pages ago... 

[Cezelle]

Darn it I can never get through all the pages without running out of likes! This happens to me every day, only in this thread can that happen on a regular basis   Poor Solas, he doesn't deserve to be punched, it's interesting to see what different kinds of dialogue you get when you aren't romancing or constantly agreeing with him, but I can't watch that clip more than once, for the sake of my sanity 

[Ajna]

Yeah, the punching thing, no can do..I mean, get into his shoes, think about the fact that he saved your life, gave you a home essentially, a nice, safe, magical home... I get a lump in my throat just thinking about people being an ass to him!

I'm not kidding. That's what happened when I tried to make a human yesterday:
