Ah I just got back in to work after my holiday break and was all set to make solavellan my wallpaper but I don't think I can bear it.

Lol.  Get out of my HEAD! It's like we have something in common or whatever...

I love the hart in this screenshot. Like they're gatekeepers. Maybe they still have some power and protected Lavellan after she was left alone by the Dread Wolf?

[SleepyBird]

But he does. He gave up on the Dalish after he went to them and tried to share knowledge and they called him flat-ear and drove him off. It's not the only time he says "our people" to Lavellan. I think he's cautious with that because he really can't see that the Dalish have much in common with elvhen as he remembers them.

On my first playthrough, when I got that dialog about him being driven off by the Dalish, I just thought "Wow, some Dalish really are assholes to city elves I guess" but last time I saw that bit I interpreted it totally differently. Now I can't help but wonder if at some point he tried approaching some Dalish tribes openly as Fen'harel, which sadly only lead to them freaking out and attacking.

It could have been the sweetest dalish clan in Thedas but if he went in declaring how wrong they are and fyi vallaslin=slave I'm not surprised they ran him off. 

 

I can understand the ancient elves frustration but their arrogance would be off-putting.

I still am on 'like this' time out. HOWEVER. That's an interesting perspective and I like it ;}

I think someone declaring himself Fen'Harel would freak the Dalish out as-is. He probably didn't even get a chance to start explaining how wrong they are

Question...

Did you let Solas kill the mages who summoned his wisdom friend or did you stop him?

[zambixi]

I had the same talk with my husband.  He both supports and mocks me.  

 

It's a beautiful and complicated relationship we all have with Solas, there's no denying that, but with help, we will all succumb to overcome the madness...

 

With time.  And paid DLC.  And smut.  And this thread.  And booze.

 

 

And body pillows with our favorite egg-head taped to it.

 

I haven't told my SO quite how I feel about Solas. I'm afraid he wouldn't really understand because he just doesn't connect to stuff in that same way. But we've had multiple long talks about how involved I get with books/video games/TV shows - regardless of whether or not I'm in a weird lovey relationship with the character - and he knows that they give me weird sorts of feels. I almost always get nostalgic and sad when I finish stuff... it's hard to explain >.>

The clans we meet in the games are pretty nice. They even allow humans around. The Dalish in the books are much more savage. The ones in TME seem like they would kill Briala if Felassan wasn't there. With the right combination of ignorance, arrogance, and fear I imagine some Dalish drive off anyone that isn't clearly "one of them"

 

But I think Solas would be the type to try multiple times. I think he'd get the same reaction whether he said he was Fen'Harel or not. Even if he didn't say he was Fen'Harel he probably tried to tell them that the Dread Wolf wasn't that bad of a guy. I'm sure that rubbed them the wrong way, but maybe they could brush it off. Thinking about it now, I wonder if he tried to show them something magic-wise that freaked them out. Magic tends to freak everyone out.

 

I'm just trying to think of what he'd tell the Dalish that he wouldn't tell Lavellan. Could it really be as simple as the stuff he says in the first conversation? Is it more and he just feels like he needs to protect himself much more in case she tries to stop his plans?

 

I apologize if anything I say seems scattered today. I'm sick and a little medicated so coherent thought is more difficult than usual xD

[Melchizedek]

I drew a bunch of Sollavellan fanarts... then saw that these were a bit (ok... maybe a lot)... more... uh... NSFW... than my usual works. 

I'm too embarrassed to post them on my usual tumblr account. They are still classy... nothing too crude about them since I dislike in your face, crude erotic arts. Still... this is a far departure from my usual pieces... 

 

I'm wondering if I should make a separate account for uh... them less than safely presentable in workplace works...

I always save them.  They didn't know, there was no malice behind their intent.  That matters.  My Quizzy firmly believes that two wrongs don't make a right.

I stopped him, because... I mostly tend to play as diplomatic, compassionate types. Painfully so.

[TanisLave]

Just got done romancing Solas, in my first playthrough.

 

By far my favorite character and my Favorite romance so far, My heart hurts so good.

 

War flashbacks of Thane.

[hellozombie]

woke up with the blues today...UGH that line about hardening your heart to a cutting edge makes me wanna punch something. Adding another song to the solas x lavellan playlist (thanks for putting up with me guys)

 

Lyrics

Spoiler

Your eyes stare

Am I humble as I go
I'm holding in tight
To something long as I go
Am I humble as I go
I found a way
To look towards this day
But it all hooked up
This could only go one way
I'm not alive, I'm not alive without you
I'm not alive, I'm not alive without you

 

Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance

 

Come around, let's go found
There's no words to call
Tonight, you really see nothing of this girl
They work, they don't know the roots behind
'Cause I got a knife to cut out the memories
So carefully, too carefully, it's not necessary
To be so dark

Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to align, last time older
Got to give in, got to give in
Learn to the five

 

Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance
Love is to die, love is to not die, love is to dance
Love is to dance

Love is to die, why did you not die, why don't you dance
Why don't you dance and dance

Yeah, if its a frequent thing and I don't like it,  I block it with tumblr savior unless the tumblr blogger is shitty and doesn't tag her **** but uses tags for her personal side thoughts.I would prefer a nsfw page. If its like one or two times, or very very spaced apart, I wouldn't mind at all.

Hrm I wish there was an option to stop him and then kill them myself.

My Quizzy is more of a "stupidity doesn't excuse everything" but she doesn't want him to carry this burden. My Shep was always like this in the Sidonis quest. I always stopped Garrus because I dont think he should kill Sidonis like this. She would have killed him for Garrus if there was this option.

Question...

I stopped him because I felt the mages were mostly a bunch of ignorant and misguided people and thats not quite a reason to get killed. I kinda didnt want to encourage that behavior in Solas.

 

For the records, I usually let Garrus kill Sidonis, or Leliana kill the spy because thats betrayal. My Quizzy would be more forgiving but she wont impose forgiveness onto others when theres a personal betrayal.

I stop him in my canon PT because I'm afraid it's some hidden hardening mechanism like Leliana's spy-killing stuff and I don't want him to have any encouragement to go off the deep end... but I wish there was some way to punish them without killing them, like bringing them in front of the Inquisition for judgement.

Oh, trust me, I know those feels.  I explained it like this to my Hubz the other day...

 

I'm a highly-sensitive person, incredibly empathetic, the "wear my feelings on my sleeve" type.  I'm of a creative mind, and prone to fits of fancy often.  Raw inspiration fuels my life, and so, when I feel none, there's a level of darkness that creeps in, almost like the colors of my life shift to a dull and muddied grey.  

 

Art brings me life.  Music, painting, dance, storytelling, fills me with passion, a driving force to help me with the mundane.  (Adulting is hard work!)  I like to get lost in a good story, it brings me the widest range of emotions in a very intimate setting that feels fine-tailored to me.  The last chapter of a book seems so bittersweet, so final, I'm not good at goodbyes.  Even though that particular tale had no mention of me, the person, I still placed a part of myself there.  The same is true for games I play...

 

Could be vain, but I generally model my main characters after myself.  I like to think it's a natural tendency for most... But there's something exciting about not only imagining yourself, but SEEING yourself (even if it's a, not quite, but close enough resemblance) become involved in these bigger-than-life adventures.  Also, MAGIIIICCC!  Haha!

 

I don't know if I'm making sense... I've had 3 hours of sleep, plagued with dreams (and not the good ones either), and now I'm working on my second cup of coffee, because, why not.

 

EDIT: Top of page love comin' up!

 

(Edited again to add a little hot-n-cold Solas!) Yaaaaay variety!

Well, my Lavellan is kind of harsh...eye for an eye type of girl. She's on board with the whole "spirits are people" thing, especially after she met Cole. So to her, it's like the mages took Cole and transformed him into a demon and then murdered him. To her, that's unacceptable because Cole is like her little brother. So she let Solas kill the mages...it's rough, but then again, Thedas is a pretty miserable place MIGHT AS WELL PILE IT ON. I'm in a grrreat mood today.

Question...

I let him kill them, but then I was playing a very anti-Chantry, aggressive, pro-Dalish, Keeper-in-training Lavellan, so she had zero sympathy for shemlen mages and no qualms at all about killing them.  She's proud, angry, nationalistic, and head over heels for Solas so....yeah

Question...

I think I may be of the few that went...."**** stupid shem." They were stupid enough to do what they did, now take the consequences. I might have saved them if their leader hadn't been such a colossal ******. He was determined he knew best. Felt the need to keep talking about it even when told to Shut Up. So yeah. I let Solas do his thing. Lavellan leaned against a rock, picking her nails on the wood of her staff while waiting.

 

Edit: YAY! I'm not the only one! Not that I felt bad for my choice....

[Andir]

In my main Solasmancer I let him kill them. They were just ignorant (and supremely annoying), but Solas views spirits as equals and my Lavellan sympathized. Plus, they just killed one of Solas' best friends. My Inquisitor knew that even if someone 'accidentally' killed her best friend, she'd do the same. She wasn't going to deny that to Solas. Character flaw but it works for me! : p

 

Also, G'd morning Solas thread.

[Cerulione]

Hi everyone, me think in a very few moment I would join this thread soon since I am making a Lady Lavellan to go for this most fascinating character in DA:I

 

A quick question: is romancing Solas with a mage give a better dynamique compared to romancing him with a non-mage? For comparison Cullen's romance have a slightly different dynamique if you're a mage compared to non-mages. Is this also the case with Solas?

 

Thanks in advance!

I stop him, because it feels like a rash decision made in anger, and even though they have done something terrible, it was done in fear and desperation, without an understanding of the consequences. (I'm trying to remember if I got an approval hit for that one? I think we did, but I'm always willing to take an approval hit to stay in character for my Inquisitor.)
