Here's the day I hoped would never come... please ignore this if you're already feeling sad or if you don't give a damn about my problems (which is perfectly fine).
Spoiler
This morning we had to put down our dog, she wasn't eating anymore, she barely moved. I stayed with her the whole time, with a hand on her forehead. She fell asleep and I hope she didn't feel anything. The vet said she had a strong heart. She could have gone on living for some years without her illnes.
She endured for some time before she stopped breathing... it's like she wanted to stay. I feel like I have betrayed her... even if I tell myself that there was nothing we could do. She probably was in pain, so it would have been selfish to wait... still. I need to get my mind off this.
Cute cheerful Solas art? Good not-sad songs? Solas' butt?
I don't have any Solas art or not-sad songs or Solas butt but I do have this:
I can't speak for Solas, but if I were him, I would be upset that Lav chose to learn rift magic from that spacey weirdo lady instead of asking me to teach her. That's actually one of the reasons my Lav didn't choose rift magic. She thought it would kind of be offensive to Solas, learning Solas's specialty from someone else. I mean he would have been willing to teach her blood magic had he known anything about it, how much more willing would he have been to teach her his own magic had she only asked? Too bad we can't just ask our companions for training like in the old days. Lavellan would have much rather learned it from someone she loved rather than someone she deemed crazy right out of the gate.
I love Your Trainer. I was torn between Knight Enchanter and Rift Mage on my first playthough, but I decided to go Rift Mage because I found Your Trainer to be the best trainer

And I doubt (well, most of) the companions would be so cruel as to send the Inquisitor out on a run-around fetch quest before they teach their skills, too
More doodles from my notes. My goal is to have a Solas for every page.
Today my human development professor had us doing an assignment instead of note taking, so there isnt a whole lot else on the page besides the picture, but I was amused by it, so I hope you will be as well.

*hugs* Don't blame yourself. :-( She's no longer in pain now..you didn't betray her.

Haha... she was so weird! I kept thinking, 'um.... perhaps Solas could teach me instead of the crazy lady? She doesn't even remember her own name... Maybe this isn't such a good idea, after all... ' Obviously, I picked it anyway. It fit too nicely with the whole anchor thing. Also, it was the only spec I actually managed to find the stuff for...

I am sorry to read you are sad. I can relate to this, I have experienced it when I was a child and about 7 years ago. I know what it's like and how much it hurts.

The death of my cat a few years ago hurt immensely. He was all fine, sat next to me on a chair and looked at me and suddenly he fell on the floor, dead. In the blink of an eye. I could not stop crying.
Please do not think you failed him, you most likely delivered him from a lot of pain.
If you want to talk about it, I am sure we're all here for you.
And I doubt (well, most of) the companions would be so cruel as to send the Inquisitor out on a run-around fetch quest before they teach their skills, too
Especially that damn fetch quest that literally took me 7.8 hours to complete. Stupid effing tomes.
Edit: For the top, here's a cute sketch of Solas and Lavellan that I found while looking through Tumblr! This is for you too, drake! I know how awful what you just went through feels from personal experience. Just know that you did right by her, even if it might not feel like it right now.

I can relate

Uncle gave me this dog, trained to hunt hogs. Didn't give him shots his whole life, so I did, thinking it was the right thing to do. He had heartworms bad and needed lots of vaccines and so on. Had a bad reaction to it and started peeing brown. He wouldn't eat, so I tried forcefeeding him, didn't work. Not even just getting him to lick yogurt, since he'd just throw it up. So I took him back to the vet and they said my only option was putting him down or putting him on the machines. He was all bones by then and suffering, so I just let them do it. Only had him 9 months.
Yeah, it looks like one. "I hope such magic would help me better understand the Fade" =/= "I did it for the power". Solas's response isn't greatly disapproving, either :/
edit: I see that she picked "I wanted to learn", oops didn't see that correctly. Still, it appears to be a bug.

So sorry to hear that I wish I had some art and stuff but all I have is my good thoughts

This is sad, I'm sorry... it's always painful. He was a beautiful dog.
I don't have anything super fancy, but I suppose I could post an update on the picture I'm working on! ;; So sorry to hear about your dog.

Wow!! I love it even more! Keep up the good work!

Okay, I've been out of lurking the thread for a few days with a sick kiddo. I saw a tweet about Weekes talking Solas at PAX and someone mentioned they saw the PAX Stuff. Anyone have any links to where I can watch/listen?
