I was searching for the really long thread title, then I realised what happened...

[OhDaniGirl28]

Holy crap.

I never noticed the footprints in the snow thing before! That's awesome! Good catch.

[Elven_Glory]

Oh, jeez you guys... I wake up and come in here and read all this gushing about Solas and...

And...


I'll be in my bunk.

[RoyalRel]

Sorry for any confusion =)

 

I promise I'll tell you guys next time it is my birthday then lol ^__^

[Suketchi]

Thank you xD

I agree sisters rock
Its hard to get her a present. She has no interest in makeup or clothes or jewellery.

She is still a kid at heart despite turning 21. Loves cutesy stuff and reading mangas. Totally into vampires and werewolves. I asked her what would she like but no answer yet x.x

 

If she hasn't answered yet, then It's all on her if her present's late XD No clothing, make-up, or jewlery... that does narrow the options down a bit. Most the cutsey stuff I could think of falls under those categories... and I know nothing of Vampires and Werewolves outside of twilight, so I'm no help there XD As for manga, maybe an artbook of her favorite manga? Or a figurine, but those can get pretty expensive. Oh, Sometimes they make stuffies of anime characters! That's cutsey and manga related!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Day! I come bearing gifts!! Have some Solas, a necessary nutrient for an unhealthy Elvhen romance diet!

 

Before I go to work, because ugh! Have fun!

 

Let's start with some smiling Solas!

Wooow. Those outfit designs are amazing!

 

Also, the Solas pattern is larger...!

I don't really mind but if we have really really long art posts do you think we could try to spoiler them? Only because I'm at work and I'm trying not to get caught lol.

 

Do you think work would notice if I made the front desk computer wallpaper that solas pj print?

[Solas]

Thank you adorable people =)

[Addai]

Well I thought that was the definition of sane in this thread.  Regardless is so much fun to do what we're doing rather than the alternative!

This is the saddest gif. Sad, sad gif.

I was going to complain but you beat me to it.

 

The artist said she doesn't care. Even gave the ok to print your own pjs for personal use. Pretty much a "used however you want so long as you aren't profiting of it".

This is the saddest gif. Sad, sad gif.

 

It is, all the sad giffing has made me embark on a TBBT marathon...

[Rabbitonfire]

I can think of something sadder but I'm not a gif maker. Watch the break up when he shakes his head in disbelief as you reject him in the final scene.

He won't even let her touch him. *sigh*

Ok, really going to sleep now.

Hah I was more worried about my work asking me who the bald guy on my desktop is.

Shakespeare's "The Rape of Lucrece" is not read as often as it should be. It pairs well with "Venus and Adonis."

 

TW: I talk a bit about violence against women in the Roman/early Christian empire under the spoiler.

 

Spoiler

 

You bring up how the poem interrogates "pride" and "choice." 

 

Augustine in The City of God touches on the Rape of Lucretia as a political and moral narrative of state-craft. Augustine was dealing with the very real problem of female bodies being raped through state apparatuses (war, religious divides, etc.). His point was to nullify the accepted narrative of Lucretia's suicide was an act of bravery--her choice was prideful. He also made it clear that women who were raped were absolved from any sin and that such acts (like Lucretia's) were not brave. That the (pagan) Roman state was wrong. He even argues that women maintained their virginity in the face of such savagery. 

 

(He was also dealing with the the fall of the Roman empire, which was still a raw and bleeding wound.) 

 

So it's really interesting how the narrative of her rape is used to both bolster and bring down the origin story of the Republic.

 

 

I'm still walking through the poem but... aw... I know you said you didn't think there was a parallel with Tevinter but... if we link it with Morrigan's tale of Flemeth, it's so perfect. I'm pretty sure Bioware would have taken out all of the sexual context, leaving only the violence and romantic entanglement. But... the mirroring of the rise and fall of the Roman republic? 

Flemeth the one betrayed by Connobar (referred to as a "King") in the early days of Tevinter - a time when communication with spirits (as practiced by the elves) was not unheard of. Mythal comes to her, enabling her to enact revenge. Years later, Mythal returns to Tevinter (as some have theorised) guiding Andraste. 

 

And the "prideful" regret of those involved...

 

Jigsaw puzzles, man

Hmmm... that would bring up questions. I have Finn the human and LSP as my wallpaper at work and school but they're more mainstream so they generally find it "cute" that I have those.
