Quick, someone make a fanfic where Lavellan, fully aware of Blackwall's warning, challenges Solas to a game of Diamondback! As she loses more and more (clothes) Solas get's more and more... distracted. Allowing for Lavellan to make a comeback and cause him to lose (clothes 
)...
I'd do it myself, but I'm tearing my hair out over a days-of-arlathan fic I need to get out of my head ><
Omg, just saw this.
Someone should teach him how to play the wicked grace, that'll be amusing. xD
I think Blackwall taught Solas Diamondback in the same way Shepard is 'a little rusty' at cards...
I always want to tell you how adorable you are on every level and you are basically the sweetest thing.
Aww! X3 Thank you! *giggles* I try to be and you tooo! Everyone here is sweet :3
OMG, I finally got to hear the entire Solas/Iron Bull chess match banter and it was awesome. I was beginning to think they never actually finished their game \o/ totally worth it though

They haven't even started in my playthrough. Been taking those fuckers everywhere. I can imagine my Lavellan growing more irritated with her meta knowledge that they SHOULD be playing chess but aren't and she takes it out on them by being snarky.
The resemblance of the Qunari symbol to that crosshatching design elves put all over the place is really starting to make me go "hmm".
The translation of "sulevin" given on the Sulevin Blade description is different from translations of the word elsewhere. There's other examples of elven words with nuances that can result in different translations, so that isn't a big deal, but the translation itself given here is interesting. The translation usually given for the word is "endure", and the concept behind it appears to have been significant to the ancient elves, and to the Dalish, even if they may not have the exact same significance to the concept. But the translation on the Sulevin Blade is "purpose", and my first reaction was how very Qunari it sounds. Really wonder who the "kossith" were...
Anyhoo, Bull's gift from his Dalish boyfriend looks awesome on him.
My headcannon for the Qunari is that during the War of the Gods one of them (the gods, I usually think Andruil) got the bright idea to mix a bunch of dragon blood into their followers. It made them raging savage lunatics, but good fighters (war fodder). They were feral, and after the gods disappeared there was no one to control them. After a while Koslun (or whatever his name was) came along, developed the Qun, and for centuries the Tamassran have been breeding the Qunari to be bigger, tougher, and more obedient. Selective breeding. That's my take on it anyway.

Haha! 
I've never gotten Blackwall to say this of all the times I've talked to him.

I've never got that banter.....*sigh*
It seems I just about get the same banter every pt....how about some new banter team!!!

This! XD
Why do I imagine Fen'Solas leading the elven rebellion in ancient Arlathan, them singing this song?
Because he totally did
*smashes Elgar'nan's face* "It's TOUGH to be a GOD~"

I took Bull and Solas with my everywhere on my last PT so that I could listen their whole game. Took them a couple days to get through it all. I love it.
Summary of the Solas romance:
Lavellan: Baby, I want to absorb you via intramuscular injection because I need to feel your effects inside me immediately. My receptors are ready.
Solas: Vhenan, I'm an antagonist. Your efforts are in vein.
This is what happens when I try to write a pharmacology paper at 2 AM.
Know i'm behind with this one, but...
Pharmacodynamically, Solas is DEFINITELY IV or maybe sublingual (oh dear, the images THAT brings up).
He sure isn't subcutaneous.
NB: IV and SL hit fast and fade (heehee) fast; SQs last much longer.

I think I want to try this... but I have no idea how Diamondback works

It's one of my favourite banters and I love the relationship Solas and Bull have 
If you keep the chargers, of course.
Hey, I took some pretty screenshots today 
This is one of my favourites. Freckles!

Damn you, Solas thread, and your wicked plot bunnies!
Can't wait for the console patch. The rate of banter this play through has been terrible! I want to hear Iron Bull/ Dorian and they won't talk to each other with Solas in the party. And I want Solas back in my party! Sera & Solas for the win...I can't do the breakup this run without her input on the relationship! Not that I am a glutto. For punishment or anything....
I wish there were banter spawn points like in Origins and DA2. That would solve a lot of problems for those who are trying to trigger certain conversations.
Mine has been iffy this playthrough as well (on console)
No banter for the whole of Crestwood and the Western Approach. About 4 bits of banter in the whole 5 hours I was in the Hissing Wastes and then 4 banters in 20 minutes of arriving in the Emerald Graves followed by NOTHING for 2 hours.
How random are these randomised chats?!
I wanted to try and get some of the romance banters involving Solas, and perhaps trigger the Dorian/IB romance. Also wanted some of the Solas/Cole banters as well.
The only ones who feel like talking are Blackwall and Sera.
The Inquisition! They were a quiet bunch.

It's not any better. They just made it less random. So it triggers like once every hour or so. So I think if you're STARTING a playthrough it'd be ok, but if you're in the mid-end of one then it's just as bad...it's kind of worse.
Silly Solas comics - Dunno if these are safe for work since Solas and Sera keep getting stoned on "elfroot"

After a while Koslun (or whatever his name was) came along, developed the Qun, and for centuries the Tamassran have been breeding the Qunari to be bigger, tougher, and more obedient. Selective breeding. That's my take on it anyway.
I used to have a theory that because of the spirit/physical duality of the ancient elves, they would adapt/alter themselves unknowingly to whatever beings they encountered, similar to the way a spirit takes on the traits they observe in people. And this was the reason elves coming in contact with humans would lose their immortality (becoming more human) and perhaps the Qunari were elves that lived so closely with dragons they took on dragon-like traits. I haven't discarded all of that theory in regards to elven duality, but since DA:I has suggested that Qunari might be more of an intentional breeding project gone awry, I've been thinking that theories like yours are more likely where the Qunari are concerned.
And while I may have confused "suledin" and "sulevin", the Qunari-ness of the "sulevin" concept still nags at me. The elven crosshatching looking like the Qunari symbol. The horned people pictured on the Par Vollen pyramids which happen to be built to mirror a constellation associated with Elgar'nan. Some of the concept arts for the ancient elves at Mythal's temple look like elves with horns. Were the ancient elves more diverse in appearance than modern elves? Perhaps not the same as Qunari, which would seem to have been altered, likely with dragon blood, but there may have been some other basis for the horns, since dragon blooded people like the Calenhad line don't have horns.
It's probably rare to unheard of, but I wonder what would happen if an elf reproduced with a Qunari. The Qunari themselves *are* carefully bred, so if something strange like the child of a Qunari and a human popped out completely human, it wouldn't happen often enough for a pattern to be noticeable. If an elf and Qunari actually resulted in an elf, that would be a huge red flag. Unless whatever's been done to the Qunari would override it. Hornless Qunari are rare, but when they happen, they're considered to be innately important or somehow more powerful than other Qunari. Could hornless Qunari be a genetic throwback to when they didn't have horns, and they still associate them with the fear and reverence they had for their original masters, even if they don't know that specifically?
Yeah, the idea that the Qunari were essentially some kind of super soldier breeding program of the ancient elves feels more likely to me these days. After the empire fell, maybe they were left stranded in whatever far off post they were originally stationed. Then after Koslun changed their culture, they sailed back home...
