We don't see Solas as a child or young man, so we don't know how he would have thrived had he been sorted young. We see that he values wisdom and knowledge now, but that could have been shaped by events in his childhood and young adulthood that we haven't seen. He claims he was cocky, hot-blooded, and eager for a fight when he was younger, which, for all we know, means he would have been eager to be sorted into Gryffindor at that age. He also hints that he had been very ambitious and out to prove himself when he was young, so maybe Slytherin? I feel Solas implies that he now values wisdom, introspection, and self-reflection at least in part because his illusions of grandeur blew up in his face, and so now he's been humbled and seeks self-betterment for its own sake.
When I think about it, I've often felt that Dumbledore never really belonged in Gryffindor, because he always looked more wise and intellectual, therefore more like a Ravenclaw to me, than a Gryffindor. But then, we start to know Dumbledore relatively late in his life, and he indeed was more impetuous when he was younger, so in a lot of ways, he makes me think of Solas a bit, the case of a young cocky & impetuous lad who became wise and more knowledgeable as he grew up.
In my headcanon, I still see Dumbledore as a Ravenclaw though, and I believe the Sorting Hat to be kinda biased into sorting people he wants/likes into Gryffindor, despite them ending up growing to show qualities of other Houses more.
Please get bored more?
OK, I'm doing it - I'm mad with power - and we'll see if it's even worth scanning when I'm done.
I don't think you've ever posted your Flemythal fanart on your Tumblr. Which is a shame because I've been waiting to reblog it for ages, I love it a lot, and I feel my Tumblr's aesthetics is lacking without it. Please post it, pretty please é_è
You might think she's kidding, but it's actually true. I know her husband from work:
Are you a cat too?
