I have "Take Me to Church" on my Solavellan playlist. I think of it as coming from Solas' perspective though, since he's the one with all the built-up regret. Also the idea of a 'god' worshiping Lavellan is..nice...
Ooooooh, I like your take--now I just need to find a fic that fits both song and take, to feed my Solas drug!
Also: Got a list of songs? :3 I'd love to see what you came up with!
I just imagine somehow getting Solas to drink espresso without him knowing what it is and he hates you for making him so terribly awake and jittery for the next while.
lol oh man now I have a vision of him being like that super hyper gremlin in gremlins 2 named Daffy this afterwards
I love this, but the spider/demon eyes thing totally freaks me out.
We need a white wolf version don't we?

*dies* The way that artist captured his face was sooooo lovely.
As a long time tumblr user, I think it's better to use: https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/solas
The search is and will forever be utter poop. To me, at least. lol
It was unwise for me to click this.
I have also read that he doesn't like stimulants because they keep you awake and he greatly values his sleepy trips to the Fade. However, he is only seen drinking the tea after
Spoiler
Yeah, he even says he needs the tea to stay awake.

Ikr? You end up looking at the clock after and realizing hours have past, but you aren't even remotely done looking at all the pretty posts. x__x Tumblr is a rabbit hole of a time sink.

I do, but I'm about to take an exam in class xD
I will upload it once I get home around 11 EST

Yeah me too. I joined Tumblr a long time ago but have never used it. Now I just keep following stuff Solas related (or maybe people? I can't tell) and putting hearts on everything. I have no idea what I'm doing, but there is a lot of Solas there so that makes me very content.

Good luck! 
I want to go back in time and meet a wilder Solas... oh my ovaries
*comes out of lurking*
After the final romance scene, I imagine my elf grabbed a guitar, stood in the main hall and sang this at the top of her lungs. If I didn't know any better, I would swear it was written for the Solas romance. Oh god...the feels.
*cries and slinks back into lurkdom*

I'll ask it again... where are the Chasind robes in DA: I!?!?!?

Wait, you forgot your Solas recovery kit!
So I finally managed to create Solas a new
victimLavellan, I'm resigned to this now... just Lavellan's...forever.
Spoiler
Wow, she's beautiful.
I think I'm only going to be making Lavellan's too... I'm tempted to make a human so I'll be forced to actually try other romances get a new perspective of the game, but it might be awhile if I actually do. It's all Solas's fault.

Tumblr is very confusing to me. I tried posting things and my art there, but it doesn't come up when I search with the keywords :S Oh well, for now it's a great way to stay in touch with readers and to see lots of pretty art.
Wow, she's beautiful.
Thank you! 
..there were tears, what with the crashing, but I got there, I'm really pleased with how she turned out.
Ladies and gents allow me to introduce my canon inquisitor and Solasmancer Laurelin Lavellan.Finally got time to make her!Also I'll contribute her sad face to the group as soon as I get to THAT scene. 
*spoilers for size*
Dammit, Solas thread… you are slowly but surely dragging me back into fanfiction again. *sigh* And I haven’t even finished the darn game yet (but am spoiled as all get-out)!
Just started working on a little somethin’-somethin’ tonight… put my iPod on my writing mix (largely instrumental stuff and soundtracks from movies and stuff)… and the first song that comes up is “Adagio To A Black Wolf” from the Night of the Wolf album, some random CD my aunt bought me years ago that’s instrumental mixed with actual wolf calls in the background. I am both laughing and sort of freaking out that of all the hundreds of songs on this mix, THAT came up while starting a little Solavellan one-shot. 
Wow, she's beautiful.

I think about that and then I think about how I would feel and then I change my mind, I tried to play a rogue..wasn't feeling it, I wanted back on my Mage Lavellan instantly, I'm so limited now haha.
Man, gone for a couple hours and I'm already like 10 pages behind. Sorry I have to play catch-up.
I hope so too, but from a business standpoint it's kind of weird. A lot of people don't play paid-DLC and view it as "extra". So usually companies offer DLC that has a separate story that is only tangentially related. Even Legacy isn't really necessary to understanding DA:I.
But the Solas/Mythal deal is a BIG THING. Big enough that it overshadows Coryphefish. If they resolve that outside of the core game I can see a lot of people being angry, feeling like they paid for the "whole story" buy buying DA:I (not me, but I've heard this argument before)
Or is BW taking a different route and trying to make everything more integrated (would explain why there were so many book cameos in DA:I)?
Honestly, depending on how the DLC goes, Solas's plot line could be resolved in a shorter DLC. If it turns out he's just not powerful enough, or that it's a terrible idea, then it could just be a matter of finding him, finding out it won't work, clean up, done. And then you move on to DA4 where Solas/Inq aren't the protagonists.
Just sayin', it could happen. I don't think it has to be done in a huge expansion. Though I would love a really long one for him and my Lavellan. But I certainly don't want to have to wait until DA4 to have this resolved.
That made me think of two of the reactions you can have (the most popular ones it seems) after the Solas break-up.
"Please don't leave me, not now. I love you."
and
"Tell me you don't care."
On the one hand, I like the first one because she actually gets to tell him she loves him, he has a very emotional reaction to her heartbreak, and it causes him to say "What we had was real" (the feeeeeeeeels) at the ending. On the other, I feel like my Lavellan looks kind of pathetic and weak, begging this guy to stay with her after he dumped her in a really crappy way. The body language made me kind of squirm, to be honest. She's drawing closer to him, begging, and he pushes her back with his hands up blocking her. I didn't like seeing my Lavellan in that state.
The second one, though, gives Lavellan some kind of dignity and power. She gets to leave him stranded there, not the other way around. And like the first option, Solas has an emotional reaction ("Tell me you don't care" ---"I can't do that"). Here's this guy, telling her how much he cares for her, making it really difficult for her to be able to move on. She wants to be able to move on ("Tell me I was some casual dalliance so I can call you a coldhearted son of a b*tch and move on!"). But, after that, I see my Lavellan instantly regretting her reaction.
Ah, decisions decisions. I'm not sure which one to pick on my current Lavellan.
So far my favorite reaction is the "I believe in us". It most embodies how my Lavellan would react--knowing that Solas is trying to pull away because he's got some baggage, but saying it's okay, we'll fix whatever it is, together. She also says "I'm not giving up on you, Solas" which is sooooo what I feel right then. Like, I don't care if you say you're dumping me, because I know you don't want to.
I recorded my last scene and put it on my Youtube. The quality's not the best because it was late and I didn't want to spend hours messing with OBS, and also my PC needs an upgrade. But if you want to see how it plays out:
