Romance Scene #2 (Alternate Version):

 

"Has [the anchor] affected you...changed you in any way? Your mind, your morals, your...spirit?"

 

"Well...I can no longer remember basic lessons of my history, or anything that my Keeper taught me about the elven gods..."

That is my Lavellan. She basically woke up anew with the anchor and doesn't remember much of who she was or her clan before the blast. One of the reasons she falls hard for Solas is his love of history and his memory, she feels uprooted from hers because she forgot everyone and everything she knew, she gets only glimpses of the past.

I wish the codexes had a search system...  It was a little easier to search them before when they were presented in a list.

 

Now it's flip the cards and hope I'm on the right track...

 

I'm right there with you... I've gone to look for things several times that I know I've found in the world and come up with nothing. Either the entry doesn't show or it's grouped in with something else which makes quick searches impossible.

[nightwolf667]

yep either solas or my lavellan dies alone. Thats what I did with my shepherd too after thane died. SYNTHESIS ftw

 

To be honest, I'm actually a fan of Lavellan moving on. Whatever relationship she has next will never be like the one she lost with Solas. It may be that they are soulmates mocked by fate and trapped in different eras, but you can live without your soulmate. You can find your own happiness without them. Her next relationship may not be a romantic one, or full of heart pounding passion, it could be based on a deep and shared respect of two friends giving each other comfort as they share their long vigil. It may not even be sexual.

 

Lavellan dying alone after all she's accomplished and the connections she's made is just too sad for me. I like to think she doesn't give up, even when she's separated from the one she loves. She continues to learn and to grow, to live for others if not for herself. I don't like to think her friends, companions, and followers would just let her slip away into misery.

 

If Solas comes back, they can work it out. Maybe she finally comes to a place where she's willing to go looking. Maybe he ends the world she knows and loves. Either way, I don't agree she should just give up or that there's nothing left to live for.

Indomitable focus. :3

 

I love Solas' face especially on the last panel.

Ugh, out of likes! This was the comment that really sold me on the romance.

[Aviena]

I headcanon Lavellan as winding up with Cullen postgame, mostly so I have a way to make myself feel better if Solas' arc ends in tragedy.  I imagine I'm not alone. 

 

Also: there are SO MANY GREAT COMICS popping up. Bioware fans are the best!

Good Elgar'nan almighty, that is hands down my favorite Solas comic.

 

Seriously I'm blushing.

 

It's pretty embarassing.

[Sine_Amore]

I just absolutely cannot imagine my Lavellan finding someone else. Sure, she may get over the pain of the heartbreak, but that doesn't mean she needs anything else to replace it. One can live a perfectly happy and solitary life knowing they had true love. I just feel like some people were made to love once, and my Lavellan is one of those people. It wouldn't be in her nature to accept anyone else.

[CapricornSun]

Now I wish I played a mage instead of a rogue, just to hear him say those lines to my Lavellan.

 

Though he said ( or "declared" as he would put it) that my rogue was graceful so I guess it's okay. 

[Renmiri1]

No lie. I will be sitting next to my hubby holding my chest because it literally aches with the feels. I think he's actually jealous. I start listening to these songs and thinking of all the scenes... and I'm just too damned empathetic. It hurts to see both of them hurting. I mean, I get tied up in the characters of the books I read as well, so it's not too surprising. But damn, this is potent.

Same here but damn it, Solas is just ... been a while since I got so attached to a story!

[Renmiri1]

Well there's other facts too:

 

1) If you did Varric's personal story quest with Bianca, she insists that she discovered the red lyrium has the Blight

2) Because of above, she also says lyrium must be alive (since Blight doesn't infect objects)

3) We know lyrium is related to magic, a key to entering the Fade and enchanting items, and also gives Templars their abilities

4) Dwarves are the only ones who can handle/process Lyrium, and just so happen to be the only race that can't dream or use magic

 

I posit that lyrium is a kind of spirit, a mineral manifestation of magic from the Fade. I also think the Fade is magic, stripped from Thedas and set apart. The creation of the Veil coincides too much with the loss of magic among the elves, their immortality, etc. So then the Blight is some kind of corruption of this magic. For all we know, maybe it was created along with the Veil, as an unintended consequence of separating the physical from the spiritual. And so, perhaps the Golden City was Golden when the Veil was first created, but the Blight infected it, turning it Black (only issue here is it's not Red, but maybe that'd be too obvious?)

 

Cory says the city was empty when they got there. I think this also points to the Blight being way older than anything else. True he could be lying, but *shrug*

 

Random thought: What if the Veil is an Elluvian, and it's the one the gods are trapped behind? *drinks the crazysauce*

 

Eh well that's my late night ramblings.

Remember on the future they make people eat read lyrium and then mine it from what grows out of their body. I think that must be the only way to get Red Lyrium: To mine it from the growth on infected people (Ewwwwwww )

[Cheerios789]

So, on the topic Skyhold and such.

 

What does that mean?

 

Holding up the sky, surely that means the Veil.  But Solas made it seem like in Ancient Arlathan the Veil did not exist.  So ... what?  If the veil was old here, like the codex said, then does that mean the Veil did not used to be everywhere?  Skyhold seems to be situated in a fairly central location for the original human settlers.  Is it possible that the elves created the Veil to protect them from the Fade or perhaps to keep them out of it? 

 

Or here's a crackpot theory.  Sorry.

 

But the humans, typically, seem to be separate from the Fade altogether.  It could be argued that they did not even possess magical ability until they started interbreeding with the elves.  Perhaps the elves inadvertantly bolstered the human population with the creation of the veil in Skyhold.  There was that one story Solas told about the Alamarri crossing into Fereldan to escape a spirit.  Maybe they found Fereldan safer because, unknown to them, but Skyhold was holding up the sky.

I wish I could like this many times.

 

I tend to think Solas would be very disappointed if she gave up on herself, or if she believed he was the only thing that could ever enrich her life.

Solas is suave as hell. He can make even the toughest warrior blush with his comment about her muscles.

[madrar]

I get where you're coming from. Solas has intellectual curiosity in spades, and even more, he values intellectual curiosity in others. He's the kind of guy you stay up until 3am talking theory with, not even noticing the time.

 

*checks her clock*   Yyyyep.   No doubt he'd approve of this thread.  

 

One last aside: the wartable mechanic also works against Cullen, unfortunately.  It turns him into the guy with the hammer who thinks everything looks like a nail.  

 

*Inquisitor disapproves slightly*    =w=   

[nightwolf667]

I headcanon her with Cullen, but not for a while possibly upwards of ten to twenty years, so right at the end of their lives if nothing major happened between now and then. (What are the chances of that?) My Lavellan isn't really into humans as a general rule (none of my Dalish girls are), but I think if Abelas never wandered by that they'd eventually get together. They certainly have chemistry. It would be a warm, loving, gentle, and quiet relationship. It would take her a while to get over Solas, a long time. A very, very long time. Forever and a day.

 

In the end, it would depend on Solas really. What his plans are and what happens in the aftermath. I'm not sure if my Lavellan could forgive him if he went through with it, though she certainly might at any point leading up to the final moment before the gods escaped. After that, no. I don't think so. Though she might kill herself trying to stop them. Red lyrium future...

Well when all you've got is a hammer...   I mean, he's the leader of the Inquisition's forces. He sends army guys to do stuff just like Leli sends spies and Josie sends diplomats.

 

And speaking of diplomats, I will forever be disappointed that we didn't get to see that soiree where Solas got a wine glass chucked at his head.

That sounds nice. But I don't think settling for Cullen would do either him or my Inquisitor any favours.

 

I don't see her weepily pining, though. She's a big girl, and she's got an Inquisition to run. She'd probably end up inadvertently taking Solas's advice: "Harden your heart to a cutting edge." Or at least, hardening the outside. But it's not like she doesn't have support. She has the Inquisition, and she sees them all as very dear friends. But only as friends.

[Renmiri1]

There's something appealing about the idea that most of it happened in the Fade, but not sure how that would actually work. It's still amazing how much passion and intensity came across from scenes in which no clothing was removed. I love it for that.

Fade sex is akin to cyber sex imho. You imagine it, not touching

[Aviena]

I do wish we'd learned more about red lyrium (among other things). We saw red lyrium around the Temple of Sacred Ashes post-explosion - not growing out of bodies. We also saw it when we were in the Fade physically - not growing out of bodies - though that could have been us just seeing "a fear". 

 

Solas is suave as hell. He can make even the toughest warrior blush with his comment about her muscles.

 

What comment does he make!?   I haven't come across the warrior one online, and I've only played archer!Lavellan.

[dragondreamer]

Anyone who tries to force my Lavellan to "move on" is gonna learn the same frustration her clan's hahrens did.

 

Also, this is my Lavellan's song

Or it could be the person who grew it had been completely encased in red lyrium. That was the fate that awaited Fiona in the future

*Inquisitor disapproves slightly*    =w=   

 

Cullen is a hammer and he's a hammer that can be used very effectively on the war table, if used in the right circumstances. He can even be useful in unexpected situations. Often, his plans do work like kidnapping the Venatori advisor on the road out of Nevarra or getting your soldiers a cook so they can have a nice meal at the end of the day. He is however limited, which is why he's not in charge and why he knows he shouldn't be. A wise man understands his limitations and allows others to help carry the burdens they can't. Cullen is capable of looking outside himself for help when he needs it and is able to recognize when he does. Those are lessons Solas could stand to learn.

 

If the Inquisitor uses him in a situation that requires, say, a screwdriver then they've only got themselves to blame. It's his job to look at the situation from the position of an army commander, he's obviously going to advocate for military. I have found him to be very perceptive though in some options, nuanced in others, and forthright about what he thinks. In the situations he's best for, he shines. In the ones he's not, he doesn't. I'd blame myself for misreading the situation before I'd blame him. The Inquisitor is the leader, I'm supposed to decide whether or not I want the hammer or the screwdriver.

 

Heh... I admit it. I do appreciate Cullen. He's not suave like Solas and he's not an intellectual, but he's certainly intelligent and he is, at the very least, self-aware. I'm looking at you again, Solas.

O.o what soire ?

 

And ya my Quizzy will look to the world as she is ok but miss solas every night in her balcony, where they kissed for real for the first time.

 

Till one day she is there brooding, closing her eyes and remembring the way he said "Ar lath ma, vhenan" to her and when she opens her eyes he is there... and kisses her saying he tried but he can't live without her.
