*le lurks* *Writes a post, then hyperventilates as I hover over the post button because, ohmygod.What if they don't like what I say? What if they point their fingers and laugh and go "hahahahaha! look at the dummy, guys! She's a big dummy, right? We're too supermegafoxyawesomehot and everyone wants to be a part of this but they can't. Hahahaha! Now, lets talk more about the speculation of Solas being a bisexual awkward nerdy boy."**

 

Of course, I did get over that fear....eventually...like a few weeks after my first post. Now, no fear. No shame. Sometimes, the idea of me having no fear or shame scares me because I have posted some odd things. Including drawings of elven men with pierced nipples..

Was it really that bad? What the heck did people fight about?

 

Oh god, the BSN post ME3 was..it was probably one of the most toxic places I'd been. By comparison, the worst threads you see here now are sunshine and rainbows.

A pretty color-palette challenge Solas under the cut. Abelas lovers should check out this artist, too. They do great work on him.

Because he's the Colonel, get over it.

Headcanon is always correct, no matter what. If you picture Solas with green eyes and long hair, that's correct too. That's why we call it "headcanon" in the first place. It's your experience and whatever anybody else says, don't let him wind you up for it.

 

Oh, no, haha. I'm not going to get into the headcanon debate, because I'm one of those weirdos that gets finicky about definitions--if it directly contradicts canon, it can't be headcanon. Headcanon is filling in the gaps; if you're directly contradicting canon, that makes it an AU thing or something else. 

 

As for the sex thing... like other people have said, it being left to the player is really important for some people due to lack of representation. It lets you have an asexual/demisexual Inquisitor, or an Inquisitor that waits longer than "normal" to have sex. That's why the "naive" comment bothered me; as far as canon goes, it's not naive at all, and saying it is will likely ruffle some feathers. I just wanted to see why he felt that way about it, really.

I'm a moron and didn't sign up for it. So we can wallow in the misery together.

I don't even have it on PC. Oh well. The, like, four of us here with xbox ones are gonna be preeeety happy one day.

What does it mean to be Demisexual?

it means you are half sexual, not whole sexual. It's like if you pre-eject before fully eject.

Hah I think you're making fun of me but it was an honest question because I'm old and do not know things.

Dancing around with my copy and not even under an NDA! Woooooot.

This. I've been like this for the past several weeks.

 

Me: *Lurks.* Maybe I could- NOPE. *Lurks for weeks. Considers posting.* Nope. Nope. I should wait until I actually play the game. *Continues lurking.*

 

And then today: 

 

Me: All right. I'mma do it. Screw it. I'm doing it. *Takes an hour to write post.* Maybe I shouldn't... *Stares at post.* I really shouldn't. But I should! I'M JUST GOING TO DO IT. *Posts.* Oh. Crap. Oh crap. I just... I did that... *Hyperventilates.* I can't believe... *Freaks out.* Someone replied! Oh hell! Oh...wait... They're so nice! Of course they are. They always are. Why was I scared?

 

And now I'm like, "Welp, this place is great. Everyone's so sweet and fluffy and kind. Why was I afraid again?". I do expect me to go back and forth between being okay and flipping out, though. xD

What does it mean to be Demisexual?

 

It means that by default, you're not sexually attracted to people. But after forming an emotional/romantic/intellectual bond, then sexual attraction will show up.

It doesn't mean that you're not sexual at all, or have a half-assed sexuality (I'm definitely a highly sexual person), it just means that in order to be sexually attracted to someone, you'd need to form a bond first. I'm usually never attracted to people I just met, no matter how handsome/pretty/sexy they might be. It takes time, and digging into that person's core to get to know who he/she is, in order to feel it.

 

 

*Heterosexuals majority highfive*

 

Figured as much, hence why seeing someone else being demisexual is making me feel a bit less alone ;D

Oh yes. Anything positive you had to say about BioWare? Insta-flame. You either believed in the true ending AKA the Indoctrination "Theory", or you were the enemy. Endless fights about Red, Blue, or Green, hundreds of very lengthy thesis' on said ending choices, trolls were rampant... Bad times.

 

And then you had the Garrus, Tali, and Jack threads who were all about the fics, the pics, and the smut, in a bubble-shaped corner enjoying ourselves. x) (That's what I experienced anyway xD)

Wow, is it really that scary? I didn't have that fear but I was active all over the place, which I'm not so much now.  I approve of your sig btw .

hehe. I was like that at first, too. I'm super shy, and I was terrified I was going to say something stupid and it was going to be PERMANENT on the INTERNET.

After several years on this board, I still rewrite and second guess almost every post I make. If you haven't played the game yet and aren't spoiled yet, you will be in no time, tho.

[BoscoBread]

Jesus, I thought this beta thing would be a simple update, not a big fat download... Would have started earlier if I knew that... sigh.

I can't even to get it to download.

See, this is why people should talk about sexuality more. I thought this was... normal. Because it was to me. Huh. Explains why I've never made those... noises people make when they see someone "hot".

Frankly, though, I think Anders/Justice exhausted that particular narrative theme. We've discussed here whether once upon a time Fen 'Harel merged with a Solas or whether FH and Solas have always been the same person. To me, that really doesn't matter because when we meet him he is one and the same and I pretty much believe he will continue to be like that until... Whatever happens, happens... They have taken too much care to build up his personality, I think it would be wholly counterproductive to undermine that.

 

Replying to this super-late because I was at dinner but yeah, I agree. Anders' narrative fit the Justice dissonance thing. He struggled with his views on mages and freedom in Awakening, and we see examples of him looking for justice and vengeance during that time (though it wasn't super-developed since it wasn't decided that he'd be possessed until much later). I don't think Solas is being setup for that same sort of struggle. Solas' personal struggle is more with past vs. present, the People vs. everyone else, good morals v. good results and that's really enough conflict without adding Mythal v. Fen'Harel into the mix.

 

I was just saying that if there were to be some sort of soul-merger, I don't think it'd be a happy one because I don't think Mythal and Fen'Harel's goals are perfectly aligned the way Mythal and Flemeth's were/are.

It wasn't so much scary as much as I just unnecessarily freak out over everything social related. I'm always afraid of making an absolute fool of myself because I'm incredibly shy and awkward. x3

 

Edit: Fudge muffin! I forgot to reply to your compliment on my siggy. Thank you! ^^

[Colonelkillabee]

I can't even to get it to download. 

Meaning you didn't get in or it doesn't work? Also, I got some help with it to go faster, read the Advanced download notes.

 

To anyone else, not saying anything about the beta from here on, NDA and all that.

I'm not too worried about spoilers, honestly. I've ruined enough for myself already. I did the same with Doctor Who, and Sherlock, and KotOR... I've done it with a lot of things, and I'm used to it. Besides... I get the advantage of being a bit more prepared for emotional trauma. xD

I am a bit the same way!  Not so much shy and awkward, but I am pretty introverted.  And I hate leaving people with the wrong impression, and confrontation ugggh can't handle it.  Eventually it just became easier for me to read and lurk rather than participate.  It took a little while for me to come outta my shell so to speak.  But the wonderful people in here made it easy to feel comfortable being myself.  And sharing.

Awww, I'm..usually shy, but I suppose I'm used to it here now, it's been a while

Thanks! I was unfamiliar with the term.
