I would love to see a solas prequel book

And I'd have to actually read one of the Dragon Age books at that point.

Like, "How the Dread Wolf Helped Break Arlathan" kind of prequel?

 

Yes. 

 

Spoiler

Just think of what kind of information that could bring to the table for time-travel fanfiction.

[k_drake]

I had NO clue.  I went in spoiler free.  I suspected there was more to Solas than being an Apostate.  The breakup was devastating.  But it was the end and the after credits scene that reallllllllly upset me.  Stupidly attached to Solas.  Terrified of what's to come.

Yeah, I think part of the impact stems from the fact that it's so brutal AND unexpected.  I've worked in a psychology lab, and there's a phenomenon called "negative prediction error," which is a fancy way of saying that in the human experience, a worse outcome than one you felt you had reason to expect is pretty much the worst feeling ever.

 

ETA: Not that knowing /why/ I probably feel bad is any real consolation.

I still get mopey, at some point every single day it's guaranteed that I will get mopey... The first few days after I finished my first PT were...indescribable tbh, but I'm sure you guys know the feeling.

[Aenne]

Yep.  This was me.  I took the LONGEST, hottest shower, and sobbed.  I couldn't let anyone see my disgusting face, but I had to get all dem feels out of my chest before I exploded...

 

Same here. I couldn't deal.

 

I told all my coworkers at work the next day "My fictional elven boyfriend just broke up with me. And I'm heartbroken."  I had to talk to SOMEONE about it. At least, they all enjoyed my re-telling of it (as none of them are gamers). 

[TheComfyCat]

Makes me think of the line, "you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness" from the Gotye song Somebody That I Used To Know.

 

That's definitely how I've been feeling... rewatching that third romance scene, even though it always hurts. But I just love it. It's weird, because I don't usually enjoy sad stories. Maybe it's because this one still feels so unfinished, since both characters clearly still have feeling for each other.

I really really want a book about the fall of Arlathan. I hope someday they do one, once most of the things they want kept secret is known.

I wonder if the powers-that-be at Bioware (or Patrick Weekes) know about our intense melancholy about Solas, and I wonder if they are all high-fiveing each other...

 

"You guys, we did it, we broke the female fanbase."

 

 

[Birdy]

Imma agree with SamanthaJ that yes, some really really are. Smut, sure, fine. Link away. Dubious consent, perverted behavior involving children, animals, or anything in relation to that? Noplz. People who want it and can, er, appreciate it know where to find it. The rest of us will prefer to live in ignorant bliss and accept any mockery for having boundaries.

But that's not fanfiction!!

"You guys, we did it, we broke the female fanbase."

 

 

I mean, part of the reason why I came here was that I hoped my immoderate outpouring of emotion would contribute to them realizing they have a sizable demographic interested in the outcome of this romance.  You know, in case they thought it wasn't worth committing resources.  B/C IT IS.  Also, I thought I might be going bananas, b/c it's just pixels after all, and I wanted to see if I was the only one.

Did anyone ever tweet that picture of sad Lavellans to Patrick Weekes? Someone with twitter should really do that... Renmiri1?

Pfft. We all tweet it to him.  XD

Hahaha! I mean as a writer myself, when people have real actual feelings from your writing it's like such a high. That's why we write! 

 

I'm sure it's a mixed feeling. Like it's amazing to have so many people have so many feelings about these characters. But I'm sure they share in the sadness too.

OH MAN, I need to add my Lavellan to that one too! 

[Bliss]

Yeah, the next 50 Lavellans picture should all be the heartbreaking pictures...the sad puppy eyes for Valentines.

[AryBoBary]

OH MAN, I need to add my Lavellan to that one too! 

 

I don't have Twitter, but I will make an account, just so I can tweet pictures of my broken Levellan to Patrick Weekes.  If we ALL do it, maybe they'll get the idea that we are desperate for more Solas (and closure)... r-right? Right?

[Bliss]

I need to dig through my screens. See if I even have Nhyme's heartbreak face. If not....well..seems to be that just means I have a reason to do another PT.

THAT is the BEST idea ever.

[AryBoBary]

You can thank that utterly depressing shower I took, post-heartbreak, that I mentioned earlier... 

[HurricaneGinger]

Don't feel bad for feeling these things guys. They may be fictional characters, but the emotions they elicit are real. I know it's hard, I'm still going through it, but none of you are alone in it.

Broke? More like shattered it into a million pieces and then stomped on with a spiked boot named "DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE".

Maybe I should do that. I live with my mother, so I don't really have the privacy to...express my deepest sorrows when it comes to fictional characters because she thinks I'm overreacting. :\

 

I'm bitter today, can you tell?

 

Probably has to do with that dream I had last night, involving GUESS WHO.

 

I was in the Temple of Mythal, looking up at the mosaic of Fen'harel. I reached up to touch it, then all the sudden his hand was on mine and he looked so ****** sad holy **** I legit woke up in tears.

 

**** this ****. **** it. I need that choice to be with Solas damnit.

Does anyone know what the deal is with these random possessed wolves that occasionally fight alongside the inquisitor?  This was taken in Crestwood, near the area where Solas breaks things off...

It's ODD that no one comments on them.

The Amulet of the Packmaster that you get from that one wolf quest in the Hinterlands is supposed to have that effect but only in the Hinterlands.

Crestwood? You sure? I know the Hinderlands there's an amulet that you put on and wolves will follow you.

Spoiler

  Does anyone else see a resemblence?

[Bliss]

I don't know. Maybe because I run with necromancers and just assume Dorian raised them just to annoy the crap out of the Inq....could be a bug through.
