Modesty flap. Ha!

 

He needed it. None of us would be able to get anything done otherwise.

I definitely think the racism had to start somewhere, and if elves were in power long before humans were...then elves probably either initiated it, or instigated humans into such a level of resentment that they believed enslavement to be acceptable. Not that this makes any of it justifiable- I just get the sense that this has been sort of a cycle that Thedas is moving through as each group rises and falls in power.

 

Another issue that elves might have- if they're immortal, presumably they aren't breeding regularly. Otherwise we'd be swimming in elves. So imagine if the average elf lives a couple thousand years...but maybe only has a kid every hundred or so years. Then you have humans, who are having kids at a very regular, reliable rate. An average human is ready to work, fight, and breed again at around eighteen years old. 

 

Every time a human reaches 'adulthood', you also have a steady flow of humans retiring or no longer being able to compete with those in their prime. If elves are immortal, they are always in their prime. It would be very hard for new blood and new ideas to gain hold. Elves have the benefit of immense knowledge and specialized skills, but they're never going to be able to replace people at the same rate that humans would be growing and learning. New ideas probably take forever to take hold, because the 'old' generation is still very much active. 

 

Elves did eventually 'check out' with Uthenera...but you basically had to wait for an elf just to get so fed up with life he's like: "Alright I'm taking a nap for a while. Wake me up when my kids don't disappoint me." That's not reliable at all. 

 

I don't know where I am getting with this, its just my random speculating. But this sort of stuff fascinates me. 

It would make sense that humans were once the despised race instead of elves. Early Neromenians probably didn't have the advanced society ancient elves did. Also the ferocity of Arlathan's destruction suggests a fair bit of animosity. 

 

"Wake me up when my kids don't disappoint me." Omg, I spit out my coffee after reading this. 

 

I wonder where dwarves fit into all of this? Codexes suggest that dwarves had a hugely advanced society before the first blight destroyed the dwarven empire, but nothing tells us HOW advanced they were compared to elves/humans. 

[Mims]

Yeah, I am very curious about where dwarves fit into all of this. Not only that, but Solas implies that the ancient dwarves either had magic themselves, or were immensely powerful in some other capacity.

 

So, we have ancient elves above ground and dwarves below ground. They don't occupy the same space, but surely there were dealings between them. Were they good dealings? Was there a rivalry or jealousy? Did dwarves choose to live below ground, or was that simply the only spot that allowed them to develop separate from the control of the elven gods?  

 

I hope dwarves do fit in somewhere major.

Solas in his romance Tarot outfit gives me so many emotions ;______;  I really, really hope he wears it WHEN he comes back!  YES WHEN, NOT IF!  And with closure, GOOD closure...

i remember back in the day when all the promo material featured solas without his little modesty flaps

 

those were happier, more innocent times

 

Never drink while reading a comment like Solas' "modesty flaps".

he's so hot your mind just sort of skims over the fact that he's wearing a reflective neon yellow vest. like how many people can pull that off? literally one.

Considering the elves of Cadash Thaig were wiped out in exchange for a dwarven/human alliance, they probably weren't best buddies and/or above pragmatism in their dealings.

This shot makes me laugh for some reason:

 

 

A (supposed) villain with extreme magical power, that all the ladies love, is often shown wearing a waistcoat, necklace and very tight trousers, as well as possessing an orb that he uses to focus his power... man, why does this all seem so terribly familiar?

 

 

I'm not saying Solas is Jareth without the hair... but Solas is Jareth without the hair?

They were probably worried he'd turn out too much like Jareth from "Labyrinth" with those tights and thighs and... bulge :3

Oh my, I know!  As long as it's not that plaidweave yellow, though... he's too hobo chic for that hideous pattern! XD  I wonder if he always dressed like his romance Tarot back in the days of Arlathan or if he preferred to be Mr. Hobo R. Wild.

You know what Anders said about robes... I suspect the young wolf was from the same school of thought... And quite normal for Arlathan...

[Cee]

I'd consider that gold, honestly. He really does wear the regal looking clothes so well. In the armor tinter I changed his current armor's fabric to silk brocade instead of ugly orange and it's so, so nice.

 

That's on my basically endgame canon save. I crafted him a final battle outfit for when I'm really done on that one. Or at least, ready to cap it off again.

 

But I will dress the hobo in nice fabrics if I can on my mage play too.

i'd like to take this opportunity to direct you all to browse carrieli's blog

 

extremely nsfw, like wow can't stress that enough

 

sort of solas related, if you imagine solas is the one on the other side of the portal...

I  cannot stress enough how upset he was.  He was trying to get his house ready to sell.  Now his house has become an attraction for fringe tourists and he's the subject of malicious gossip on the block.   After this he went into his house and closed his lace curtains and put on a pot of chamomile to calm his nerves.  Solas is a MONSTER.

I think a couple of you were reading my Solas x Lavellan fic I was writing (the chronic illness one). In case you're interested, I finished chapter two!

Completely unrelated to the quote, but I've just been reading through Stevhen's twitter. I haven't stopped laughing. xD

I know Stevhen pretty well. He'd appreciate the followers!  I know his work checks up on that.  He's having a hard time connecting with people.

Time to share with the world: Hawke x Nitemare Demon fanart:

Spoiler

http://drawarabbiton...ng-gripping-his
 
Based on:

Hawke lay panting, gripping his injured side but looking at the rapidly closing rift with satisfaction, his sacrifice would not be in vain. He turned to the creature.
 
"They've left you, just like everyone you've ever cared about, and now there is only meeee" hissed the thing
 
Gripping his staff, Hawke eyed the menacing legs warily, watching their supple forms flick and dance towards him in teasing patterns. Too late, he saw the ninth leg (was that a leg?) snake around behind him and pin him to the floor. He felt something furry caress his face.
 
"I've been alone here for sooo long..." hissed the thing
 
Struggling proved to be in vain, hawke felt a sort of lassitude come over him as he gave in to the amorous appendages gently nudging his knees apart.
 
"sooo very, very long" hissed the thing
 
Hawke, seeing his chance to reply with an angry red fist option when the dialogue wheel popped up, saw the heart icon in the upper left corner instead, and shrugged.

 That's the nitemare's leg, you perverts.

Oh, my God. I can't stop looking at this. It's mesmerizing. Nothing so horrifying should have that effect on someone. Nothing.

Here's more to their love story - FROM ME

 

Hawke blissfully slumped against Nightmare’s leg, sated.  He looked up into one of Nightmare’s many eyes and whispered “I love you”.  Nightmare froze and clicked his mandibles as he said “Uh….what???”.  “I LOVE YOU” Hawke shouted, “I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!”   Nightmare began to shake his leg gently in an attempt to pry Hawke lose from his pleasure hole, “Look, it’s not that I’m not appreciative of what happened here but it was just for fun.  I mean, I’m a giant spider and you’re…well…you.”  Hawke wrapped his arms tightly around Nightmare’s leg, “Oh don’t play coy with me!  I LOVE YOU AND I’M NEVER LETTING YOU GO!”
