Noo! *clings*
Have a Solas kiss:
Flemeth approves.
And The Gif is back, and productivity is gone.
Ugh, that f***ing jawline of his. I can't even.
I can't like your comment but I don't apologize entirely for The Gif.
Hey, where did 10minutes of my life suddenly go?
I imagine that my Lavellan kind of knew something was off from the get go- but her first assumption was completely different from reality.
She is a very curious and overbearing person. She wouldn't have been satisfied with vague answers...but I don't think she would have necessarily pushed them, either. Elves have hard lives in Dragon Age. A lot can happen to them. I think her first feeling was that something rather awful had happened to Solas somewhere along the line, and that was what he didn't want to talk about. At first she probably thought shem were to blame. That he might have had a family at some point. But over time and hearing his ambivalence towards the Dalish, I think she came to the conclusion that he might have ran off from an alienage, attempted to join the Dalish, and was rejected. With some sort of trauma happening somewhere in between.
So she never really pushed it, thinking that he'd eventually tell her at some point.
It was only around the temple of Mythal that she actually started thinking about the ancient elves. Once she knew they were alive, then I think she determined pretty quickly that he was likely one of them. But then the drama between them went down, and Corypheus attacks shortly after- so she never quite got to get her proper confrontation.
Now that he's gone though, she's pretty certain that she was wrong to be so careless. She's worried, both for him, and for what she might have done by not pursuing the matter in her usual style.
This, this, a million times this. *crawls back into the blanket fort.*
Flemeth approves.
Flemythal does seem to have a soft spot for snarky, sassy heroines who completely derail the world and everyone in it. If there's anything left of her after the DA:I stinger, I headcanon that she totally ships Solavellan ![]()
The sheer indignity of being an 8000 year old god who walked the Fade like it was his own garden and was the elite of the elite of the most illustrious empire, and now a smelly man with a beard and a goofy elf are prodding him about his sex life.
![]()
Hey, who are you calling a smelly man with a beard?! (... Cuz' I totally stole Blackwall's line for myself, you see.)
YES! THIS! Friggin daddy-long legs. Ugh. I can handle anything but one of those feckers flying into my face sends me squealing like a little girl. The worst of it is, they're completely harmless. I love lizards and snakes, I'm alright around spiders or other insects. I don't bat an eye at enclosed spaces, heights, being underwater, flying...any of that. But these...ugh *shivers*. They're my kryptonite. Yuck. You can even hear them on summer nights, their legs and wings scraping against the windows.
*freaks out and runs away*
YES, SWEET VALIDATION. You are the first person to ever understand and agree with me on this. Holy hell, I cannot handle these guys and their constant unpredictable bombing into my hair and face. No, cannot. Cannot do it, **** off forever, leatherjackets. God, even your description of the noise they make on summer nights has me shuddering.
Are you in the UK? My husband's Scottish, and we were on holiday with his family at a croft near Stranraer one summer, and there were the BIGGEST leatherjackets I've ever seen, and three of them got in the house one night, and we were all sat around a table playing cards, and I looked up when I heard what sounded like a small bird above me, and **** ME, one of the massive buggers was just pinging off of the hanging lamps about 3ft above my head. I've never ran out of a room so fast. It's so stupid and doesn't make a lick of sense, but I simply cannot deal. And then my brother-in-law calmly walked about, cupping them in his hands and putting them outside while I just flattened myself against a wall and hissed.
Giant grasshoppers.
I love grasshoppers. ^__^ One ricocheted off my cheek on my last birthday. It was the happiest birthday.
Anyone have any thoughts on whether Solas would have any nonsensical, tangible phobias? Or creatures/things he just doesn't particularly care for, for any good reason? I'd venture he doesn't, because he's too sensible for such nonsense. If I were to take a stab at a random creepy-crawly I think he might hate, I'd say leeches. :S
We already know his greatest fear is dying alone, and there's probably not much that rivals that. Geh. Solas. Just let Lavellan love you.

Otherwise we'll lock you in a room with Sera, an infinite supply of sugar, and a bunch of silly string for the rest of your existence. You're not dying alone now, Solas! You just have to listen to Sera sing "Bananaphone" at the top of her lungs for eternity. Jerkface ![]()

To add fuel to the fire, or make it hilarious, daddy-long-legs are poisonous, and is quite toxic for a creature its size... but they have nothing to inject the poison with.
How do I know this? Because I'm buggery scared of them too, but my dog Misha loved to eat them. One summer there was ****** loads. She made a meal of them, but eventually she got really ill. When we took her to the vet we worked out it was the daddy-long-legs that were making her ill. We made sure she didn't eat any then, the family grew a collective pair and killed them ourselves. She got better. :>
Edit because I don't know how to form a proper sentence.
As much as I love the first kiss. This one is actually my favorite. The lighting, the profile, the fact that he goes in first. I could watch it forever.(sorry about the text...at work and can't find the one without it).
In terms of what's seen in-game, the second kiss is my favorite. You can literally see the moment when he decides to throw caution to the winds and wraps her in his arms like he never wants to let go.
I love the last kiss, but...well...it's the last one. And then I take a dive right back into the feels hellspiral.

Actually I can agree wholeheartedly. The first kiss becomes absolutely amazing when we can look at it from other angles (not to say it wasn't awesome before), but this one we see a whole lot more with.
Nnnnnnnnnngh I gotta play my Rogue again!
PS: Is that your Lavellan? Pretty. x)

He sort of rears forward doesn't he? And gives himself in to it entirely...
That is one beautiful Lavellan as well, BTW.
Not sure on this one. He says veilfire is a memory of the real thing, so while he may have seen the real thing, it could well be his first time to see it reflected in the physical world like that. It's probably elven magical fire, remembered in the Fade, breaking through from the Fade back into the real world. Meta.My point still stands. Hes still fibbing, albeit a unnecessary lie, to hide something.
He says that so derisively, though. Mockingly. I don't think Abelas recognizes him.I'm pretty sure he does recognize him based on the question, "Elvehn such as you?"
Don't forget the butt grab! Very nice GIF though I wish they'd remove the writing.As much as I love the first kiss. This one is actually my favorite.

No. I believe it's the gifmakers Lavellan. Mine has no makeup and brown long hair. I'll post a pic of her when I get home.
MY INTERNET IS FINALLY BAAACK

PRAISE THE MAKER. Were it not for the Tiffany Aching series, I may have gone mad. Inquisition without any new world states and nothing left but Solas-less saved games and Lavellan break-up scenes is so not fun.
Should I bother trying to catch up on all 200 or so pages I missed on here? T_T

I wouldn't bother.
Thanks for your input, guys! That actually really helps. I'm going to have to play some of my game footage back to get a more detailed sense of when she started to suspect, but at least now I have a good idea of where to start... Because playing back my entire game would have taken far too long for just a couple sentences of dialogue.
I think it's after Haven when he tells her about the orb. My Lavellan's first question was "Alright, what is it and how do you know about it?" Funny how he only answered the first half of that question. Dodgy, yummy bastard.
I wouldn't bother.
You have no idea how glad I am to hear that.
Edit: ...sort of XD No Solas DLC announcements in my absence I take it?
No. I believe it's the gifmakers Lavellan. Mine has no makeup and brown long hair. I'll post a pic of her when I get home.
Please do. *v*
I love seeing everyone's Lavellan. So many pretties. ![]()

Hooray for Tiffany! I just started the latest one (I Shall Wear Midnight I think? It's meant to be darker than the others anyway) when I got into DA:I... I don't know if I'll pick it up for a long time. xD
I would still try to catch up if you have time. There's been some interesting discussions. ![]()
And The Gif is back, and productivity is gone.
Ugh, that f***ing jawline of his. I can't even.
I'm right there with you sister. Every time I see it, I squeal "nooooooo, not again damnit!" and then sit there sighing for an unbelievable amount of time. I'm too old to be acting like a giddy school girl with a crush.

Egad. A fate worse than death.

Would rather be tranquil.
Haha thank you! I now really want a pair of dread wolf slippers.. Also you and Liz are the only people who got my sheep clothing joke. XD
I stared at those slippers for a time, just pondering what would be involved in making them. I'm so keen... Also, high fives, Liz!
I swear every time this gif is uploaded I just stop whatever I'm doing for a solid 10 minutes. It's like a blackout, a Solasout. Damn you! I
hatelove you!
Also I wanted to mention I was feeling a bit crappy this morning, but I pop on the board before going to work to see what happened with the Solas/Blackwall/Liars discussion, and I see the NSFW simulation app and everyone's reactions to it (pure gold by the way), and I just wanted to thank you all for putting a kick into my step after that and brightening my day. Pure hilarity! Although I wasn't brave enough to look at the app, my partner had to look for me and tell me about it afterwards. Anyway, I love you guys. xD
I'm out of likes already, but I like this. :3
Fixed your post.
Rats are cute! Best rodent pets ever!
(But seriously, screw silverfish, or don't. Creepy bastards)
And rats are the best rodents! I used to breed them as pets when I was in my teens.
Old pic of a 15-day old pile of rat babies!:
Don't have a gif, but here's the video.

And no, I don't keep watching this.![]()

YAYAYA RATS! I really miss having rats. I had quite the set-up, too. As it stands now, my cat is so predatory, I'd be worried to adopt any at this point. My old kitty cat (a.k.a, Best Cat Ever--passed away in 2011, sniff) was totally chill with them, even in his younger years. I miss that fluffy orange butthead so much.
I regularly feed rats to my 5 ft long Columbian Boa. People always tell me how cruel and gruesome it is, yeah, yeah, yeah. I felt bad at first, but now it doesn't phase me at all. It's awesome watching Hannibal (that's his name) strike at lightning speed and wrap around them and slowly asphyxiate them.
I sound like a psycho, but it's just the circle of life.
No offense to any rat mothers out there...
This is why I couldn't have snakes myself, though I really like them. I have too much history with and love for teh rattiez and other rodents to feed them to another animal myself, though I hold no ill feelings to anyone who does. It makes me a bit sad, but such is the way of nature (hey, I feed my cat ground up cows, chicken and turkeys that I purchase in the non-offensive form of tinned mush, so...). I have read, though, that feeding live, adult rats can be dangerous to the snake, as rats will often fight when scared, and can do some serious damage. Do you feed your snake babies? I'm not super informed on the topic, but am curious. I've read feeding already dead rodents is the way to go, but evidently some snakes won't eat them unless they're alive?
This is kinda morbid and totally off topic, so uh, new direction!: if Solas had a companion animal, what do you think it would be and why?
Do not say wolf. Okay, you can say wolf.
EDIT: Solas on top.
