I ride them now and then (I like the silly hart noise   ), but usually I bring out the mount when I'm trying to get at some hard to reach shards.  Only my canon Lavellan really collects mounts, though she mainly rides the Wild Hart.  My male Lavellan rides the Red Hart.

“hiraeth”

—  (hɨraɪ̯θ), noun | A Welsh, untranslatable feeling, hiraeth is loosely described as a homesickness for a home you cannot return to anymore or a place, which never even existed. Connotations of sadness, yearning, profound nostalgia, and wistfulness are imbued into the state of hiraeth. Overall this beautiful, but painful longing is a an expression of an empty desire and grief over a past life or place. It is the ultimate signifier of a bond, which has ceased to exist.  (via wordsnquotes)

 

 

Sigh. 

 

"Feels"

 

-noun, a state which plagues those who frequent the Solas thread. Often results in spontaneous pillow forts and copious amounts of tissues and hot chocolate.

“

There was no exact translation into any human tongue, so far as Valya knew, although the phrase could clumsily be reduced to “the path to a place of lost love.” It was a quote from one of the few great poems to be remembered through the oral traditions of the Dalish and the alienages, and it described a wistful wish for beauty that one had never actually experienced in life. It was a sweetly painful sensation, akin to nostalgia but laced with greater bitterness, for a nostalgic man remembers the pleasure he has lost, whereas one experiencing *lathbora viran* longs for a thing that he can never really know.

"Under the blackberry vines, I felt it," Valya muttered under her breath. That was how the poem opened: with the musky fragrance of ripening blackberries, bitter and sweet, and a wish to remember the long-lost scents of Arlathan.

The poem itself was *lathbora viran*, because no elf she’d ever met remembered it in the original Elvish. The elves had a few fragmented words and the skeleton of the story, but the poem itself had been haltingly re-created in human tongues. No alienage elves knew enough of their own history or mother language to recall their civilization’s lost works of art. They didn’t even know the original title. “Under the Blackberry Vines,” it was called, because no one knew the true name anymore.

I just loved this passage, but especially because of Merrill and Carver’s dialogue in DA2

Maybe it’s just coincidence that Merrill brings up blackberries. Or maybe not. I do love that she thinks of them as she’s trying to relate to Carver about him missing his homeland — especially given that for elves, blackberries are apparently associated with missing something you never truly knew, a place that only exists in the ache in your heart.

Merrill: Do you miss it? Ferelden, I mean. 
Carver: Sometimes. 
Merrill: Blackberries. They don’t seem to grow here. And there were little song birds with black caps on their heads. 
Carver: I sort of miss the dogs barking. 
Merrill: Yes… It’s been mostly humans barking at me here. Not nearly as cute.

So.....

 

I guess Sheryl Chee said that DA elves don't have facial hair? (sorry if im late. I just found this out!)

 

Do you guys think that I should take the bearded stubble off of my Falon'Din should I just say "eff Gaider and his lame ideas about...you know...the stuff he writes about."??

 

Also, doesn't Solas have stubble when you zoom in on him or no? *Im so confused right now. I don't even*

That's what you get for throwing giant books at my walls of text.

Maybe he has some sort of skin condition. Like eczema.  I mean he couldn't have been moisturizing all those  years he was sleeping. 

 

It's your picture. Do what you want!

I've only seen stubble on his head, not his jaw though.

 

But if you want stubble on Falon'Din go for it!

I love his expressions, lol. He is such a derp and it is amazing!

I refuse to believe Fenris doesn't have stubble. I mean, you can clearly see it. What is it supposed to be if not stubble? 

 

I just imagine elves don't have a lot of facial hair on average.

@Giton -

 

Dirthamen and Falon'Din reuniting after a millenia.  You know the gif I'm using.  But it's the best gif. Lavellan is breathing heavily off screen.

 

NSFW - i mean not really - it's just kissing but people get weird about that stuff.

Ah, I forgot that they were practically brothers.

Well...they can't really pin down what they are.  Best friends, lovers, brothers...etc...apparently it was an incredibly complex and deep relationship,

[Mims]

But its on the texture! Unless he has the worst case of blackheads. 

 

Then its on his concept art. 

 

Maybe they changed their mind as far as the facial hair rules, but it seems like it was intended to be stubble to me.

symbolically brothers?

They were probably all three. Sounds like they similar to Cersei and Jaime Lannister, lol!

Why is it when I listen to HAIM I feel like I'm back in 1993?

I'll guess that the art team sometimes is all, "pfft, artistic license, it looks good" no matter what written lore is.
