All. The. Milk. Jokes.

I don't know why, but this has me laughing.so.hard.  (The tiddy fic and the reactions)

It's making me lol too. Mostly because the reactions are way out of proportion. It is honestly nowhere near the the strangest prompt/fill I've seen on the kink meme.

 

If you didn't romance Zevran he becomes the Crow's "King" or something like it. So he didn't have to stay, he chose to stay.

I don't see how what Zevran does or becomes as a non-romance matters in relation to a romanced Zevran, though?

 

If he is romanced, he wants to stay with the Warden, so he does. He has no other priorities or things going on that are more important to him than being with the Warden.

 

If he isn't romanced, he's a freelance assassin. I'm assuming actually letting him meet with the Crows is what leads to him becoming their leader, but when the Crows said they wanted to meet Zevran in my non-Zevran-romance world state, I was like, "Eff that, you aren't getting anywhere near my Zevran." and I helped him get out of Dodge. (At least I think that's what happened in my Zevran war table missions, I've been up like 24 hours now and brain no work anymore.)

 

Literally every other Origins romance has something else going on, though. Leliana is the Left Hand, Alistair is either still a Warden or a King, and Morrigan is Morrigan. They all have pretty good excuses for being separated from their Wardens (except maybe King Alistair with non-noble Wardens, because screw being a mistress).

Like...I dunno, even the softdom stuff is kinda pushing it for me. Anything that has Solas making the first move. Unless he's really drunk or something. And even then, I think he'd wait until he was 100% positive that it was what Lavellan wanted. Every time he touches her, you can see him hesitate. He's confident, yes, but when it comes to his relationship with Lavellan he's very very conflicted. So Solas grabbing Lavellan and pushing her down on the bed, even if she's totally cool with it, sets off all sorts of OOC alarm bells for me.

 

Personally, I don't mind dom stuff in fanfic, but only if it makes sense for the character. For example, I would read the sh*t out of a well-done and respectful Iron Bull fic that features dom/sub stuff, because that is in his romance already. I also think light femdom works really well for Hawke and Fenris. Solas, though? Not so much. Anything with him being controlling just goes against his entire characterization. He doesn't want to control anybody, let alone Lavellan.

 

What I can see is him being very experienced. And to portray a sexual encounter between an experienced and a less experienced partner without getting into power dynamics is tough. But it's doable if you go about it the right way.

 

It's the tension between passion and hesitation that makes Solas's romance so wonderful. It's very...subtle. And I guess I'm not surprised to see the fandom at large missing that subtlety, especially with all of the Fen'harel baggage. It's a shame, though.

 

But every so often you get stuff like this, which so perfectly encapsulates that tension without needing to put it into words. So browsing tumblr for Solas stuff is still worth it.

I cannot like, for I have been stripped of my liking abilities for the time being.  Instead, I wish to say... yes, I agree.

 

That picture tho...

You have another victim. I'll just be over here. In the pile. Stinking the place up.

 

Resurrect me when we have a Solas-related DLC.

I can't! 

 

This is the first I've heard of this, and it sounds really ridiculous and not even remotely sexy!

[coldwetn0se]

I may be a tad behind on what is being discussed, but I caught a few things regarding the LI thread started by BrassBuckles (from at least a couple pages back.... ). I am about to sound like I am tooting my own horn, so please forgive me of this. I just think it helps to understand the perspective, in which I am coming from (if anyone really wants to read through this whole thing. lol!)

As someone who contributed to both LI Books for ME3, the ME2 LI FB page, the "Siha" initiatives, the Traveling Thane Plushie (Yeah, @wildannie!! <---plushie designer), was a regular writer for the Cosmic Love Blog, and original member of the ThaneMOD team, I really do get the drive to making your voice heard on the subject of romance in these games. I purposefully spoiled myself on this game ahead of time, JUST so I wouldn't feel the need to devote such ungodly hours/time to something that should be a "hobby". A lark. Entertainment. Learning about who Solas was ahead of time, and how the romance played out, helped. I definitely believe that. Yet......here I am, wanting more. More time, more dialogue, more heart.

Wanting this isn't a bad thing, and I think I have figured out - at least for myself - the simple truth of it. Or maybe, the "simpler" truth of it. Many of you have mentioned it in passing, so here is me laser-focusing in on it (again, for me....don't wish to speak for others. ). The intelligent, interesting, complex, simple, wise, teacher AND student, type of character, seems "destined" to be the more apprehensive romance (aka: angsty). Instead of spreading out the "tragedy", or lessening it, perhaps reevaluating where the focus goes, is more appropriate.

I do like happier endings, for the most part. I do not hide that fact. But my biggest beef comes from the homing in on a particular "type" of character. The more jovial, fun loving they are, the more likely they won't get bashed by the drama-stick. (sure...that's a word *shrug* ). Garrus would be a very good example, but hardly the only one (by the way, I am in no way saying that I wish bad tidings on anyone who romances Garrus). My point is, give these characters a chance to shine "under the pressure" of romantic doom, if one is so inclined to include anguishing love interests. Give the more cerebral, spiritual, serious, dry-witted characters a chance at some bliss. Just because happiness can happen in one part of their life, doesn't mean they will never be plagued with grief, or weighty decisions. In other words : MIX IT UP!!

I will continue to stay the course on Team Optimism myself (I'm a sucker for that anyway ). But regardless, I just want to see things get switched up a bit. Let the drama, comedy, gleeful moments get scrambled amongst the companions. Break a few molds, and try something new. And sometimes, it is okay when the guy gets the girl, or the girl gets the girl, or the guy gets the guy, yada-yada-yada.

Damn, the holidays make me weird.

Oh, and a little taste of the craziness....forgive me

This is @wildannie's Thane plushie that got sent around the world, and me at 44 yrs kissing a Thane-doll, when it finally reached the PNW of the US.

I'll probably regret this post tomorrow. LOL!

Lol. I read that wrong what you wrote about Zevran.  Something along "There's not story-wise" reason for him to leave, romanced or not.

Eh, I honestly don't' see hardened Leliana leaving the Warden to join with someone she barely knows.

Yes, yes, and more yes!  Give us drama, give us struggle, give us impossible odds, but damnit... give us closure!  (And moar Solas butt...)

And Leliana is a weird one. Zombie Leliana just never made sense.

Why you guys do dis to meeeeee *sobs*

[SamanthaJ]

 

And I am done. Really.

[Sashimi_taco]

I would never think Solas would be dominant. If anything he would be mischievous in a fun and sexy way. Certainly know what he was doing, and there would be a lot kinky fade things to do.

 

But the very essence of his character is NOT to be a Dom. He is disgusted by slavery and the domination of others. The entire story arch of his life revolved around him rebelling to free people. 

 

Maybe long a go when he was young and powerful. Maybe. But he's essentially an old man by now. Do you know how kinky old men have to get to keep things interesting? He probably knows a lot more than just tying you up. A lot more.

[Birdy]

You should "leave" them at the Cullen thread to share.

Please don't,they've already seen this.

[Bliss]

LOL!

 

You should leave it there......of course it may turn into a war of mancers. We drop a tiddy fic on them...and who knows what they will drop on us.

[AryBoBary]

So uh... I also had a Solas dream the other night.  Let's just say... it ended well for my husband and I.   

 

Yeah, I'm quoting myself... it's gross, but for good reason.

 

I dreamed that I...

 

Spoiler

...was in the Temple of Mythal, working through the rituals with Solas, and only Solas. He was taking time to explain every mural we encountered with a lost sorrow I couldn't make sense of. Next ritual, and we had to make quick work of some Red Templars. We dispatched them quickly, because, well, MAGIC..

We composed ourselves to move on to the final ritual, and once there, took a pause of consideration, only that pause turned into something much more feral.

*ahem*

Cue the part where I begin to go between being in my dream and the waking world, in which my husband happily becomes involved.

LOL, Just uh... thought you classy gals would appreciate.
