Temple of Mythal as he watches Lavellan complete the Fen'Harel ritual.

There's a Fen'Harel ritual?

My god.  ANY kind of Solas fanfiction or fanart is gold for me to look at if it only has Solas in it.

There is some guy arguing with me over http://forum.bioware...sible-spoilers/who kind of annoys me by going out of the way to explain why straight female romance isn't sucky and we got lots of options

By the way, whoever hasn't written there and wants to make her/his voice heard - you should.

I don't think I can get into that argument without destroying something in anger.

Coming in here for blanketfort  
This thread is making me squirm. Playing through the game again has melted me into a soft mess, unable to articulate my thought processes ;-; maybe it is time for a break. 

Attempting to summarise. The Solas romance for myself:  
1) is so entwined with the main plot that it is set apart from all other romances. None other seems to compare in terms of.... gravity? 
2) is unresolved, keeping us all holding our breaths in a state of anxiety
3) is with such an interesting character. I am 100% fine with my Quiz being single and best buds with him (my Hawke was single and badass untilgetting  the Sebastian DLC) but being an actual romance option is frustrating for my human mage....

4) ...leading to frustrations in being excluded from elves and their "special connection" with the fade, and ominously pointing to me being excluded from future storylines (including a possible reconciliation with Solas)

5) may be another in a long line of Dragon Age stories which I will be tuning in to see how it ends for years to come ;-; and I feel like I just cannot maintain this level of desire for much longer before I break ;-;

ran out likes....

 

 

Also I posted on there earlier and yeah I have seen that some people agree with the OP and that's Great but of course there are going to be a few who don't read the full post/ or they just read what they want so they can troll or argue with others on there which is pretty pathetic.

I don't know?! I thought if anyone knew the Solas Recovery Wing would. 

[Cheerios789]

Personally if Solas is party in anything that isn't with female Lavellan I don't want to know about it...unless it's Varania as Lavellan, that's a good fic.

 

And I did look at the description and exited out very quickly. But I rather would have not had to click on it at all...

 

Uh, I don't want to forcibly change your mind, but ...

It's Trevalyan/Solas and the hottest damn thing I have ever read ever ever ever ..... ever

 

Although it is far and away from being any type of canon compliant and it is a crazy-dominant Solas (which though I do not personally agree with ... I secretly love reading about)

 

Still it is the smuttiest smut smut ever

[Aenne]

Yes, more fanfiction!! I love it all. I can't get enough of it. And can't stop writing it myself.

Well, I don't mind the Treavalyan/Solas part, but...I've gotten to the point where I don't like dom!Solas period. Especially when he's written so that he aggressively has sex with someone without care, so that fic isn't really for me...It makes me really uncomfortable not just because of dominance/submission, but because people that write dom!Solas tend to write him as some kind of beast.

[Sashimi_taco]

Uh oh. I love it when guys go into threads that have nothing to do with their interests and are directed at (mostly) women, just to tell them they are wrong. I, for one, love it when a guy absolutely must tell me I'm wrong. No matter what the context. Or where we are. 

 

The best comparison to real life would be hanging out in a women's locker room and jumping out of a laundry basket to argue that some women are wrong about their opinion on women's sports. No matter where you are, you cannot escape the logic[al fallacies].

This. Because of this I've ordered The Masked Empire & DAI art book.

I'm hunting for clues like mad, keeps me sane :|

LOL. I think some are like, you have 4 LIs, what do you have to complain about? A pattern is a pattern through all the previous BW games.

It's an irrelevant point that they wanted to complain about. It has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

We have a made up term for this in my language.

Can be roughly translated to manxplaining - when a man explains a woman she's wrong without even considering her opinions or her knowledge, just because she's a female XD

That's completely and entirely fair.  Most of the domSolas I read is poop.  I only offer up that one, because the author really brings the story together in the subsequent chapters.  I like how it was done.  Again I do not actually see "Solas" in it, but it brings something new to the table.  Also my heart hurts so much from angst that it's rather nice to take a break on something like that.

 

*goes back to writing incredibly angsty fanfiction with zero smut because she can't write the word penis without dissolving into prepubescent giggle fits*

 

Don't judge me ... this is how I cope.

Whoa now, this can't go down a great road of topic.

Right! Plus it's not sexy. There are better ways to write smut/sex without being vulgar. 

 

Pretty language is the best.

I agree.  I was only using that as a silly example.  I blush furiously and freak out if I have to do more than make my characters kiss.  I am 26 and in a long term relationship ... I have no excuse.

Did you giggle when you typed it?

 

And I wish I could write fics. I would write feisty Lavellan who wears out Solas's physically 40 something year old body and goes for more rounds afterwards in the Fade. I would also write an obscene number of AU modern day fics where Thedas has technology and the Dalish paint their faces to look like they're wearing vallaslin so they can wash it off during a holiday ceremony symbolizing the fact that somewhere along the way they remembered their history. I haven't thought about this a lot or anything...

[Shari'El]

There are a lot of people annoying me in that thread right now. I wish Nat or Brass were there.

 

I can't even.

Why has that thread become a debate on artistic freedom and that guys get bad female LIs?

What's the point of putting us down?

Does it pain their egos that people who want to play straight females play this game and that they dare complain about the LIs?

How can we make this stupid rambling stop??

 

WHY, GOD, WHY.

 

Where are our conversationalists when we need them the most?

You ignore and don't engage.  They'll eventually drop it, or mods will.

The BSN outside of the character threads is a prickly beast, I wouldn't let it get to you. Some people are determined to think that just because they don't personally feel a certain way, everyone who does is an idiot and they use any thread they can to air their own grievances no matter how ridiculous they seem.

 

Personally, none of it bothers me because, believe me, this place used to be MUCH worse. The BSN shortly after the release of ME3 was like a nuthouse for various reasons.

 

It may not seem like it sometimes, but the BSN is a cuddly, fluffy baby bunny now compared to in the past. Try not to let trolls or ignorant posters get to you and discuss more Solas instead! 

[herkles]

this shouldn't matter what our IRL gender are, as I am a straight male but I play female characters a lot myself.
