That is a good point! Unless he was not being entirely honest, I'm not sure how the timing works out then.

 

It seems like he was shocked to find out how far the elvhen had fallen, like it was knowledge he had gained fairly recently rather than possibly having centuries to mull over. But that could be just a misread on my part. 

Honestly, I have some trouble processing this whole "In order to find interesting places, one must be interesting" statement. We know that the Fade is shaped by the spirits/demons living there. "Normal" mages can visit, but they cannot affect it in the way the spirits do - they walk through the world created by another; so, it doesn't matter if they are well-read/have travelled a lot or not - they'll still only see whatever the spirits have created. Now, Dreamers - and by extension Solas - are able to re-shape the Fade at will. Maybe what he meant was that if he didn't travel, he'd quickly run out of ideas for various places to create for himself in the Fade; if he didn't know a lot about history, he wouldn't know which memories to look for, and so on. 

 

Edit: also, to me, it looks like whatever knowledge of modern Thedas he has, he got it fairly recently. Could be mistaken, ofc.

That is very possible! Looking from it at that perspective, it is a lot like how writers and artists will often say that they need to travel. Otherwise everything that they create isn't 'real'.

When I started getting those "this-isn't-going-to-end-well" vibes with Solas' romance, I was seriously thinking he'd turn out like Tidus in FFX and disappear at the end like a dream.  My first thought was that he was an Ancient Elf who was brought back with the orb somehow and that when the orb was destroyed, he'd be destroyed too.  I'm glad I was wrong and he turned out to be something else entirely  I was so worried he was going to die at the end!

 

Yuna/Tidus and the Last Unicorn are some of my favorite love stories.  They're tragic, sad, and beautiful so I guess it's natural that I'd fall for Solas

 

You know, it could still end that way in future games/DLC... Not sure what the circumstances would be to lead him to that point but imagine Solas disappearing at the end a la Tidus from FFX? That would make for a rather tragic (yet kind of beautiful) ending.

 

 

I think I made myself sad again.

I have a feeling that Solas is currently spending a lot of time telling spirits of love that they can't help and fending off desire demons. haha

[Rabbitonfire]

And now *I'm* thinking about the Last Unicorn...  Red Bull=Red Lyrium?

Good thinking! The elvhens want to release them but whatever corrupting the gods may have suffered is preventing it.

 

I feel the same way; or at least something similar. I've been thinking that for a couple of days.

(I think of Molly Grue as a city elf though. One who became a kitchen wench for humans.)

In fact, I'm writing a fanfiction in which Lavellan tells the story of the last uth'halla ("eternal halla," basically what I imagine the Dalish answer to a unicorn) to some elven children in Skykeep to symbolically tell them of their heritage (as she feels stories of magical talking animals will get them more interested than "Our people used to be great, then humans"), and Solas' reaction to hearing every detail - especially how the uth'halla reacts to being turned mortal.

Yeah I was conflicted whether Molly was similar to dalish or city elf. But City Elf is closer since Molly gave up on the ideas of unicorns. 

 

I was trying to figure out the other characters of the movie but it's already difficult to clump them together when the similarity is maybe one or two traits.

...and now I have a picture of Solas swarmed by Desire Demons looking like Lavellan in my head.

He might have to avoid the fade for a while.

Hey Solas thread! 

 

I just finished romancing Solas. It was actually way sweeter than I was expecting. BUT THEN that f***er dumps you!   


*grumbles with unrequited love* I'd like to tell him what he can do with that orb... 

[Rabbitonfire]

I remember when Solas said getting possessed by a demon is no different from the temptation of taking a bite of a shiny red apple.

 

The problem is.. I like apples. Maybe life as an abomination won't be as bad as they say.

There, there. We'll probably be seeing him again. Maybe you can actually tell him what he can do with that orb!

Makers breath, I miss a few days to go adult or whatever, and this thread has like a million more pages.  DAMN IT I MISSED 2000.

 

I really think there should be a way to summarize the topics that get discussed in here, like for every 10 pages, the top post has a basic rundown of recent talk-points.

 

Or maybe I should stop being so casual...   

 

Anyhow, hi you guys, I overcame the painfully slow progression with my Trevelyan by avoiding all things Solas-y, and now, my human and him are like BFF's.  I mean, I'm pretty sure he's checked her out a few times, she's got dat booty.  And there was that time I caught her staring at him hungry eyes... 

 

Spoiler

 

I imagine her saying quietly, "...soon."

 

OKAY, BACK TO CATCHING UP.

oh god i'd love it AND hate it at the same time  Like, I really, REALLY want the possibility of a happy ending for them (maybe one that you have to really work hard at, like do a certain amount of quests and such for), but I imagine that won't be as high a possibility as the bittersweet.  Which is why we need a romance DLC to expand upon Solas' current in game content

If it's anything like FFX, it's going to have a sequel like FFX-2. Full of charlie's angels, faction conflicts, combo whistling to cause time travel to warp your boyfriend back to you.

Yes, it's the burden we Solasmancers bear. LOL. It is a very sweet romance, and I don't see it as unrequited. I think Solas definitely loves her but just can't let go of whatever mission he's set for himself. There totally should be a slap Solas option if the inquisitor sees him again, though. :-P

[Ajna]

For Eric.

 

[Rabbitonfire]

The way I see it...

 

Red Bull = Dread Wolf.

 

"They passed all the old roads long ago, and the Dread Wolf followed close behind them, and covered their footprints."

 

OR, Red Bull = Red Dragon - one of the dragons the ancient magisters used to chase down, conquer, and enslave the ancient elves.

 

As for the rest, here's my take:

 

Spoiler

The last unicorn = the last Elvhen

The unicorn's people imprisoned in the sea = the Elvhen gods imprisoned beyond our realm.

Schmendrick the Magician = Solas. An immortal mage who keeps trying to help the last Elvhen, but keeps accidentally making things worse.

Molly Grue = present-day city elves. People who try to maintain their heritage, but who feel the ravishes of time; they have to age, have to work, and have to work as servants and kitchen staff to humans, and as a people have become dirty, grimy, and worn for it.

The Red Bull = The Dread Wolf OR the Red Dragon who serves the magisters.

King Haggard and his castle - The Magisters who used magical servants (like demons and dragons) to chase down, conquer, and enslave the ancient elves.

This is going to being an intense movie watching. I already know the ending so using the analogy of the last elvhan makes it really sad.

[flabbadence]

I... don't think I'll be able to watch or read the last unicorn for a very long while

[DarthEmpress]

The Last Unicorn is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, both the movie and the book  When I worked for the library at my alma mater, I had them add the book to their library - my graduation present lol.  I can definitely see so many parallels with Solas and Lavellan.  Honestly, the most heart-breaking thing is the mini sequel "Two Hearts" that shows what happens to Lir and the unicorn.  I was crying because it was beautiful and sad and just so so bitter... but it was beautiful and it meant something.
