I second this opinion.

 

Honestly the stuff doesn't bother me....the one fic of drunk and waking up after being used by Bull....now that one threw me, but mostly because of the rapey-rapey vibe. It's more fun to react dramatically for entertainment purposes.

 

I'm not down with non-consent. I know the miscommunication thing going on this this fic might be on the edge (i'm very strict about consent). I but I really try to keep consent in my head at all times. Like she never made Solas do anything. She let him want and take. Never ever made him, just held him back.

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.

Pfft, What, like a Cole/Solas fic?  

[Bliss]

Take your time. I just have two more days left in my separation from my computer.....so I can afford patience.

 

The scene came off rapey-rapey because it just, I dunno, maybe because I don't know if Lavellan had decided beforehand and desired the possibility. That would have made it less off and less like "here, let me get you drunk enough so I can use you as a sperm receptacle". Though the Solas half of it would have been HAWT for an actual after battle scene....mmmm healing hands.

If Zevran is romanced then yeah, I don't think there's any story-driven reason for him to leave the Warden. He can probably do wham bam thank you ma'am freelance assassinations while staying on the move with the Warden, and I think by that point the Crows have decided to just stay clear of Zevran as long as he stays clear of them? I'm not sure. Either way, if he's romanced, he has no real reason to leave the Warden's side that I know of.

 

And if you're talking about Justinia, Leliana knew her even before she knew the Warden. If you mean the Inquisitor, Leliana didn't just hightail it back to the Warden because Justinia, a long time friend and very important person to her, was just murdered. Then there's also that gigantic hole in the sky. She stays because she wants to get to the bottom of it. Like Varric, she's not one to just ignore something like that and go, "Not my problem." Unless that's her personality when she's hardened. I wouldn't know because I don't think I ever did a playthrough of DA:O where she was hardened. lol

 

ALSO, it seems like it's the Warden who leaves the LIs behind anyway. It's like... "Bye, babe. You stay and do your thing. I gotta go find out if I can cure the Calling I won't eventually die from the taint. You know me. I totally won't get into any kind of trouble."

I don't know if you played DA2, I tend to just lean towards not because most don't. But I thought he was "dealing" with the crows in DA2, so they're not a problem for him anymore.

I'm just glad I did a quick skim. All I had to see was a quick bit about Cole's "member" and go...NOPE....I'm out! I dun need to see more.

That's the one with the healing fingers, right? That one made me uncomfortable...though partially because I don't like fics where I have to hear too  much about characters sleeping with someone else. I'm pretty sure I also thought Solas was too forward when it seemed like a casual thing. The idea of current Solas and casual sexual activity turns me off.

 

*is way too serious about sex*

[Birdy]

I respect all your sexual preferences. 

Thank you. I very much appreciate that.

It threw me off on the fact he was quick to take squishy seconds. I believe I even commented how it would be very odd to do Bull and turn around and do Solas....there has to be a girth difference there.....Can't imagine it would have been very enjoyable for him to take seconds. Unless Bull is very unlike his name.

They were both drunk and had sex, how is that a rapey vibe?

DAMN IT! WHY AM I OUT OF LIKES!

Thank you. I very much appreciate that.  

 

Sorry. This stuff isn't funny. Could you please kindly take that off? I am, honestly, offended.

Well. That's another bottle of wine for the night.

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.

Oh yeah, this art is perfect.  Now "Hallelujah" has started playing in my head for the umpteenth time today.  

I have to say, in my headcanon, Lavellan and Solas never actually had sex (of any kind).  This is not because I'm opposed to smut, but because I think he wouldn't do it, not without her knowing the truth about him.  In the end, the best gift he can think to give her is a bit of truth, which makes me think he's constantly anguished about/keenly aware of his lies (and, ya know, the situation in general).  In fact, I think what causes him to break things off so abruptly (and excruciatingly) w/ Lavellan is because he senses they're about to reach a point of no return.

[Aenne]

 

Solas has, what I can only consider to be a CENTURY of built-up tension.  Not just sexual, but emotional tension.  The way he pulls away from Levellan when she steals their first kiss, only to succumb to that base need and take her mouth into his...

 

I imagine his controlled resistance when tempted to be physically intimate with her.  My Levellan was a little smart-ass, so Aliyah would most likely poke and prod at him for a reaction.  He would remain reserved, for only a time however.  Once released, his passion would be unbridled.  Years of experience and knowledge, pent-up aggression and longing, all of which would be released onto his "prey", but not in the "I'm-basically-about-to-rape-you-way", in the, Levellan is the most deserving of his affections... kind of way.

 

THIS, a thousand times this. 

 

And my two cents on Dom Solas. A person's ideals is not defined by their sexual kinks and vice versa. You can be a completely different person sexually then who you are and your beliefs. 

 

It's not all black and white, neither is Solas. So who knows? No one. But that's why I enjoy a variety in Solas fiction. It's interesting to see everyone take/opinion on how they view Solas sexually. Plus then we get to know a little more about the writer too, I guess.

They were both drunk and had sex, how is that a rapey vibe?

 

I don't believe that one was rapey.  Although, sloppy seconds isn't really my thing (but the healing hands part? MMMMM, yes please!)

 

It was a different fic, where Solas is lusting after a Trevelyan, and it turns into... some rapey-stuff.

since i've long given up on ever keeping up with this thread (feels like i blink and there are 5 new pages XD), here's some smouldering solas 8)

Things are getting a little weird and uncomfortable around here. Can we dial it back a bit? Jokes and good fun are all right, but I think it's getting a bit ahead of itself at this point.

Hi guys, kind of off topic but can you show me where to get the Battlemage Cowl Schematic? I've been looking for it everywhere. Thanks

Like I said, if before drinking it had been something she/they had considered it would be fine. But the black out drunk, waking up naked, and thoroughly tossed without much basis...like I said, smacked of the lets get so-and-so so drunk they let me use them. That's where it gives that vibe. I know it's just me and likely flavored that way because of personal history (way too many females crying the next morning because of poor decisions made while drunk, FYI, taking home roommate's one night stands never gets less awkward). But yeah, it's questionable *shrug* But that's me.

I didn't read that Trevelyan fic, it just didn't seem right. But skimming it, that was some angry sex and I can see it.  It's the non-consent consent. 

[Bliss]

Okay...someone find the Solas riding on a unicorn picture and get this back to fluffy sparkles and rainbows.

The problem I have with all the dom!Solas stuff isn't just the kink aspect (which isn't my thing), but that it's made to be a personality. In enough of the few I've seen dom!Solas has been portrayed as aggressive to the point of violent, possessive, and and animalistic. And that's just not him. And since the topic is getting uncomfortable, that's the last I'll say on it.

It's been a wild Saturday night here in the Solas thread. It's amusing to contrast the current content with previous indepth discussions about lore. Anyone have suggestions for new topics?

Annnnnd its time to retreat to tumblr. Night all!
