You know, this probably sounds odd, but my kids have patently refused to watch Harry Potter. HOWEVER, a family friend got him Lego Harry Potter for his birthday. I wonder if he'll connect to Harry or not. HM.

 

*edit: And I suppose with Harry's scar being magical and shaped like a lightning bolt I don't really think of it as a scar, despite that being it's description, so I never thought to introduce T to it in "that way" huh. O.o What a ridiculously obvious oversight on my part...

I introduced my kids to Harry Potter through the video games. They are fun (even for me) and a friendly introduction without the potential scariness of the movie.

Indeed, the first image that got released of his face where it could be seen, my son has a scar that very nearly matches Solas' one. A bunch of folk here were complementing the scar and I showed my son the image and read him the (clean) comments. T has always been very self conscious about his scar. Now he isn't and has really latched onto Solas and I always show him any new images and fanart that shows up of him. He gets very excited and anytime a fanart is missing the scar he always asks why they didn't include it. It's a huge deal to him. (He just turned 6 wednesday.) And thusly it has become a huge deal to me. And the wonderful folk on the old thread spent the next couple pages bolstering my son and sharing stories of their own scars or scars on their significant others.

 

It was a really great moment, one of those "faith in humanity: restored" kind of things. I owe everyone a lot for that.

You're little guy sounds like such a sweet heart. I, too, hope Solas keeps his scar. Our bodies tell the stories of our lives, and I explain to my guy (who's five) that each scar, or uniqueness we have, is part of us Especially when explaining my C-section scar.

I see scars as medals. and mementos. I have a lot of scars on my hands, some came from cuts, some from burnt, since I use to make phirography on wood.

some are from falling with the bike, or others minor incidents.

I have quite a bit on my lower belly, from laparoscopies and sugery.

 

but are part of what I have learned and done in my life. I'm proud of them, after all. even if I have hands that are very little feminine.

I so love reading everyone sharing heartwarming stories

Awwwww, thank you for sharing that with me (us). Glad he has found a good, thus far, role model in a sense. And a character to latch onto! And now I know. I can only hope, like Rynj stated, that they continue to have his scar.

In a class I was in, I was informed the importance of scars on a character as it signified psychological scarring of the past. (Well, that's the nutshell explanation, I have the full explanation in an old school notebook somewhere) The removal of it makes me wonder if it has to do with potential (or non-potential in this case) trauma of the past. In any event, if that doesn't factor into it, I hope for the sake of your son it is returned.

In other news, drat! I forgot to ask why all the male elves we've seen, thus far, are bald during question day! DRAT!

@Cat Lance

My mom has a noticeable scar on her upper arm from an infection from a childhood vaccination (they reused the syringes where she grew up). No one ever mentions it. People love her and seem naturally drawn to her.

 

I liked Solas' scar, too. It was charming, in a way.

It's weird that it just disappeared between different shots of him.  I mean, they've obviously tweaked his face quite a bit since we originally saw him, but maybe the scar is something we actually see him get in-game.  That would be all kinds of awesome.

[Cat Lance]

And if you'd like to share with your son, I have a somewhat-faint-but-noticeable scar on my forehead... actually, not far off from being where Solas's was... that I got from when I had the chicken pox as a kid. I did sooooo good not to scratch when they itched because Momma warned me it might scar if I scratched them, but I must have broken down and scratched the forehead one. I've had that almost my whole life and was very self-conscious of it growing up. But nobody said anything to me about it and I'm now all grown up, gainfully employed, married, and have generally always had guys (and some gals) hitting on me or trying to flirt. So, that little scar doesn't seem to have turned me into Quasimodo, it seems. LOL So, he should be juuuuust fine.

 

Thank you too! *huggles*

I didn't think the first movie had much scary. But my Kittens cleave to animation over live action by a lot.

Yes! I have done this as well, but I think coming from "Momma" whose love is assured and who is also covered in scars all over my face, hands, etc. It did not carry the same weight that having strangers say it did. So, thank you!

I feel you very much! My hands and face are pretty scarred, as well. T's scars on his face (he actually has two, the forehead and his lip, which is less noticeable,) are from when he was younger and went through a very clutzy period. Both were from literally tripping over his own feet and landing on his face. After the second one, he was old enough for me to teach him "how to fall" (martial arts thing) so here's to hoping he doesn't get any more of them on his face.

 

I so love reading everyone sharing heartwarming stories

Yes!! My heart is all ready to burst with fuzzies!

Haha, yes! Thus why I was so relieved when his character profile finally came out and he is a BDH! XD REALLY hoping he isn't Judas... --Thank you!

O.O Holy crap on reutilising syringes!! I'm glad all she came away with is a scar and that it has not held her back in life at all.

Yes, it was weird to me too, especially since it had gotten such a great reception from fans!

And that WOULD be all kinds of awesome! I can't think of any BioWare game where the character model actually changed like that for a companion. Only their armours. That would be seriously wicked.

 

And now I'm combining the clumsy thing with the romance thing and picturing Solas getting the scar tripping over his own feet because he was walking and the Inquisitor flirted with him or something... XD

[coldwetn0se]

Got in an odd mood, and that last Scrub's pic that was posted, made me think of this:



Song seems fitting for this thread.

@Cat - Scar in this household as well (hubby has a great one on his arm; looks like the Boris Karloff, Frankenstein monster scars. ) Happy (belated?) birthday to your young'un.

[Awkward Octopus]

As an animator, I approve the preference, haha!

 

I might recommend How to Train Your Dragon, but it might be too scary for 6. But the story (spoilers)...

 

Spoiler

 

Has a bit of a "dealing with disfigurement" theme, in a way, with several characters.

 

[Solas]

OMG, He will love this! *squees* Mini-Solas!! Thank you! *huggles*

my days that is so cute

[coldwetn0se]

LOL...and I just realized I posted the German dubbed version of that Scrub's skit.

[DragonRacer]

Hee hee.
 
I'm writing a dragon battle and it's so awesome and fun. And scary! All the emotions from that Solas dream of mine are pouring back in. I should likely have this Part 2 fanfic up in the next hour or so, and then will work on the third and final sequence.
 
For those out of the loop or looking for a refresher, Part 1 can be found here: Fireflies

 

Also, I cannot second enough on "How To Train Your Dragon". Even if it did completely kill a book idea I had because they basically beat me to EVERYTHING I'd had planned, all the way down to the dragon having black scales. Mind = blown on that, but I do so dearly love that film. And it speaks greatly on overcoming physical losses.

[Felya87]

I hope as well that Solas's scar will return. many of the companions have some (Varric, Cassandra, Cullen, Iron Bull) it would be sad that Solas, who have a little less "flashy" face will not have his.

I hope is only fault of the lights in the screenshot that we don't see his scar.

[Dracarys]

@Cat Lance, aww, my middle son, who is almost 13, went through an extremely clutzy period when he was about two as well (it continues to this day, in fact, because he is my child). One evening, when his father was out of town (he was a fighter pilot and gone more than half the time back then, especially, it seemed, when trips to the ER happened), I made a super quick trip to the bathroom while my son and my daughter (who is 18 months older than he is) ran around. I no sooner sat down than I heard a loud BOOM. I wasn't that concerned at first, because the child ran into everything, but when I hurried out, there he sat, absolutely covered in blood. Like, Origins levels of post-fight splatter. He'd run headfirst into the corner of the wall at juuuust the right angle to open up his forehead. That was the evening (of course it was an evening, because why would it be during regular office hours for the doctor?) I learned exactly how much a relatively small head wound can bleed.  He required a number of stitches and still has the scar, though I don't think anyone even notices it anymore except me! And that's only because I love it, because it's part of him. And anyway, we sort of match.  I still carry a small horizontal scar smack in the middle of my forehead from jumping on my Gramma's bed when I was three.  I may or may not have been warned repeatedly that I was going to crack my head on her nightstand if I didn't stop.   

 

Hugs to your little guy.  He sounds like a sweetie! I hope Solas's head scar returns for him, especially, because head scars are awesome and I am obviously not biased about this at all.

 

 

EDIT: Wow, this took me long enough to write that I didn't know How to Train Your Dragon had been brought up. SOLAS THREAD MIND-MELD.

SO much love and thanks to all of you! I will definitely be showing and reading all of this to T!

[volaticus]

Yeah, I'm glad we at least know of Solas' voice actor. Poor Blackwall fans know hardly anything about him at this point 

 

At this point I kind of wish they did a complete LI (didn't that happen for DA2?) info dump instead of staggering the releases like this. Though, that's just my personal opinion.

I so agreeXD especially cause they've got most of them done and they've revealed some of them in two's (predominantly cullen/cass as well as bull/Josephine) so hopefully the last two romances will be revealed close to one another

[ilikesocks]

Nah, it just eventually breeds resentment, especially when everyone else on the BSN gets to celebrate their preferred romance, or finally come to terms with the fact that they can't have their preferred romance. Meanwhile Solas and Blackwall fans, for example, who have been left to subsist on scraps and dust as it is- in regards to general character info and images- are left in limbo.

Most of the people in the Blackwall thread, and in this one are extremely nice and patient and gracious, but frustration and even resentment is eventually inevitable and quite understandable.

Let me just say this: I am a 'cullenite' and once I knew Cullen was romanceable, I was over the moon for days. But that was a while ago, and even though if I really think about it, I'm kind of relieved still... I am dead center with you guys on Solas. Not understanding why they don't just tell us and give us time to move on and just deal with it. I am on Twitter all throughout the day just hoping they will release the news at that moment. Like I can't even be entirely happy about Cullen anymore, because, it'd be nice to have another romance besides him, and the only other I'm interested in is Solas. I guess I could romance the others, but it would only be for sake of a different playthrough experience (and possibly trophies, depending on how hard platinum is to achieve) instead of actually wanting it. Leeeee sighhhhh.

[Cat Lance]

Why do I only get a few likes back at a time!! I started going up liking and hit my limit again right away! GEEZ!

 

I actually have to disappear again to go pick up said Kittens. Thank you all and as long as T is awake when we get back, I'll read him these tonight! Thank you again!

I asked about romances, because I'm a poor, hopeful fool.     Will be nice to see if ANY questions get answered though.

Does she know everything about that? I don't know who this person is so I don't know what she's supposed to know.

[Uirebhiril]

Someone should ask if his scar will be back. I like the little touches they've been giving the characters and would hate to see that one go.

 

Seems such a trivial question, but I guess it's at least one they can answer amidst all of the "I can haz romance?" ones.
