This image is so strange to me. When he tells her to "sit", I thought there was a rock or stump nearby or something. But no, they are standing on their knees in the rocks, something has to be rather painful in this incredibly romantic, touching moment.
I know people love this, but it's a fly cam nope, for me.
Okay this is totally off topic, but what is with those flying spagetti monster avatars?
It all started on a dark and stormy night when some of us were positing Simpson style tentacle aliens were orbiting Thedas and studying the inhabitants:
Then, we made up a story about how a cut tentacle monster (who had an Orlesian accent) was in love with "Zer Cullen!" He eats noodles and throws them over his head in excitement when he finally meets Cullen.
Meer made beautious art of our cute little alien, and then it escalated into personalized tentacle monsters in a spaceship of Falonship.
Mine is Tentatect, the most stylish and beautious and magisterial of the aliens.
You say this now. Until I make you log off the computer because you're sobbing. Remember what hurts me, hurts you 10x worse. I have a robot heart.
It's okay. It's all right. I'll be fine again some day. Maybe. Some prices are steep, but they must be paid. Besides, melting into a mess of sobs is a decent way to remind one they're alive. Even if it kills me, I'll bear with it to contact your brilliance.
Also. SOLAS HELLSPIRAL IMMINENT...
MAKER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I thought I was over him....
The hellspiral, like a virus, has mutated. It's terrible and cruel, and has learned to trick us into thinking we're all right, over the egghead, and able to live life like we once did before. But then the moment to chance to breathe easy, it drowns in its abyss of feels. One should always remain on guard of the hellspiral.
Guys, I'm climbing out of the hell spiral {and falling into the Abelas one} please don't ruin this for me.
Let me live.
Please. *sob*

I don't think they put their knees onto rocks. There are places without rocks on that ground.
I think it's just fitting. They're elves. It's a lovely moment.

I'm sorry.......almost.

That's a very rocky ground...
It's a lovely moment, but I cringe every time I look at.
But if everyone likes it, I'll just go sit in my cynicism corner, I guess...

I would sincerely be happy to read yours(or anybody's writing). I will help as best I can. I recommend Giton/Meer though - they are true magisters when it comes to word-smithing. BUUUUTTTT - I will throw myself a bone. I do have the odd good idea or two. So I'm happy to sort through a story if you're just not feeling the plotting or unsure of where to go. Or you're having issues nailing down voice or just want affirmation that characterization isn't off. Frankly, anyone could do that though. Writing partners are FUN. I don't have to do the work and people weave stories out of my head-pictures. So...YAY! Also I like doing notes and world building. And documents.
EDIT: This is y'all right now(you're Artax...I'm Atreyu) SORRRY FOR THE FEELS YOU GUYS(cackles). Spoilered for size...and well..yeah. That scene.
That GIF Is so beautiful, but right now I'm still all aboard the SS what does Abelas do once he realizes he's lost everything, and it's such a sad ship to be on.
I just found this artist's DA stuff on Tumblr and she hasn't done a Solas but her work is just too good: http://anathematixs.deviantart.com/

I will see your Atreyu and raise the stakes. Spoilered for ultimate hellspiral. Seriously. I warned you.

If it helps: most of what is considered to be facts about Abelas have been entirely invented by fans whereas Solas' sadness has canon to back it up.
By 'help' I of course meant 'help you back onto the Solas hellspiral.'

Solas tells Abelas "You're people yet linger." The only meaning I can gather from that is there's some pocket of ancient elves still alive and residing in some yet-undiscovered pocket of the world, untouched by humans. I always assumed Abelas went to find them after leaving the Temple of Mythal.
So, happy Abelas?

YOU CAN'T HURT ME. I'M A MONS-oh. weeeeepppss.
My first Solas!prompt and it's actually kind of depressing.
'Cremisius Aclassi & Solas: The Reflection in the Mirror'

No, no, see, that allows me to make it as sad and as heart wrenching as I want it to be, so it actually helps me /more/.
Though I haven't even touched Solas' sadness. I'm not sure I would, to be honest. It's so deep and so complicated and there's so much we still don't know about it. It's just like a layercake of feelings that span centuries. It's easy to contextualize his sadness with Lavellan, but it's more difficult to branch outside of it and consider sadness that doesn't revolve around romance.
Plus, I'm still waiting for World of Thedas to come out and retcon everything I've ever written so I can throw things at the wall.

Out of likes. Ugh.
But as far as Abelas goes, there's a lot in those few minutes so I can see where, especially as a writer, someone sees the vast, open potential to take those tendrils of characterization and create something with this guardian out of his place and time, duty ended, modern world in a changed, unknown, wrecked state from what he once knew. Also, he's changed his name before, so....a 'what now?' without all the framework and baggage Solas comes with.....I understand the draw.

Despite that though, it's a lot of what Solas goes through. I think they can take some comfort in eachother but everythign is gone. They have NO culture left. Except to move forward. So depending on the type of person Abelas is...at the end of the day...he may be. So it could be sorrow initially. He does not seem to have the same insane amount of baggage that Solas does, which deepens Solas' loneliness. Abelas was around and awake longer so he might be more ok with it.
But again, what's sadder - Solas: Ripping it off like a bandaid and seeing, **** it's all gone OR Abelas: Slowly watching it die and being unable to help

They sat then Solas probably rose to his knees because he was too far/more stable to cast his spell. Lavellan probably followed suit. Who cares about rocks digging into your knees/legs when you're staring into the face, the eyes of the man you love 
. Just sayin'

That's true.

Stupid like quota.
All of this, yes.
I still wonder just how long Solas has been awake though.

Why would you post this? Artax… 
I was happy, guys. I went out and watched Game of Thrones, I was thinking about my OCs. And then I come back here and it's all beautiful flycam and swamp of sadness and I'm back in the spiral again.
Edit: And Land Before Time?!? Staaahp.
