Nothing, he's kind of sadly relieved and you merely tell him he's a good friend. He'll tell you you throw him off so easily, "even here", then it goes into the ...wake up bit.
I stopped the video after she started saying he is a good friends, couldn't even watch 
. Talking about a "bait and switch"
This Dalish demon thingy makes me wonder recently. In the end, we also use this mark on our hand (which nobody but Solas knows anything about, and he claims to hardly understand it) willingly to further our goals. Just like that and with hardly a doubt. But using a demon is deemed the most evil of evils. Just the basic idea of this are quite the double standards.
I think it's more the binding of a spirit/demon that bothers Solas. Normal blood magic is "I give you blood/suffering, you give me powah!" No subjugation required.
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the Temple of Mythal complete with drinking the Well, how juicy is the lore in Jaws of Haakon?
Um...it was a 9 for me. There was some really cool but not really world-shaking stuff, and then other things that sent me into incoherent pterodactyl noises.

Seventeen days. 
And eight of those days has The Witcher: Wild Hunt being played obsessively. 
In other news, I've finally received Asunder, Last Flight, and The Art of Dragon Age. 
And that's it, that's all I wanted to say. (I'm just very excited at the moment.)
EDIT: Now the question is, which novel do I read first? Asunder? Or Last Flight?
Having just finished Asunder not too long ago, I'd recommend it. I got more Cole feels when I didn't realize that was possible. I haven't read Last Flight yet though.
Need some help - what homework assignment might FightClub!Solas give out for Project Mayhem? Also need suggests for what Solas would call Project Mayhem.
Also, something I was thinking about last night, in Solas' personal quest, if you don't let him kill the mages, he looks at them, shakes his head, and says "Never again" before storming off. It's driving me nuts thinking about all the things that "never again" could be referring to.
That Soviet propaganda style Solas art is really good.

This is sort of me. I don't *hate* it, but I am not exactly crazy about it either.

I'll admit to having drooled over fanart of concept!Solas, but sometimes when I see people commenting that Bioware should have stuck with the concept art design or saying that they'd like Solas better with the dreadlocks makes me a little irritated. 
It's the bald elf that we have now that I fell in love with, not the dreadlocked elf in the concept art. No matter how sexy he looks.

I think it's because that look is more acceptable to find 'hot'.
Solas is... different from the other elven love interests (and not only because he's the only non-LGBT one we've had*). Zevran is a dashing rouge, Fenris looks like he's stepped out of a Final Fantasy game (and I mean that in a good way, not a bad way like with Kai Lang), Merrill is adorable (and looks like a conventially pretty human woman) and Sera is very pretty. And then there's Solas. He's (appearance-wise) in his mid 40s, a total nerd and dresses like an apostate hobo. His concept art, on the other hand, with the dreadlocks and cocky smirk, looks dangerous and like you'd except a trickster god to look.
Me? Not keen on the concept look being used for younger!Solas. Not only because I love the way he looks in game but also because DAI!Solas has a completely different hair colour. I don't mind it in fanart because it's an interesting look to use but this idea that he looked like that in canon? Nope.
*I was going to say 'non-bisexual' elven LI, but Sera also broke that streak.
Anyone want to bet that if ever young!Solas/Fen'Harel was shown in the game to be bald or has a completely different hairstyle/look from concept!Solas (Solas had to have hair at one point in his long life, right?) that certain fans in the fandom will riot over this?

Fans will riot over everything.
I love the DA fandom (well, you guys) but so many parts of it are so freaking entitled.
I also, in that post I made with the Fade Haven conversation, now always laugh when he says that thing about having spent more time in the Fade than any man alive. Well, your record is hard to beat, Solas.

I figured it was just a threat, so they wouldn't try summoning anything else. But it could be referring to secret worrisome things as well. Hmm.
My bigger thought concerning that scene is if it might be another hidden hardening/unhardening choice that we won't know the results of until later.

I think this is right. I always took at as a way of saying that he wouldn't let them go if they did it again. They've had their warning.
I took it as a warning as well. I didn't think their stupid mistake warranted a vengeful death, so I talked ragey Solas down. But he wasn't going to do that twice.

Those are interesting viewpoints, but I've always assumed he was saying this to himself. He says the words quietly. They didn't seem the right tone for a warning, more like internal reflection, imo.
He's disappointed that he isn't killing them and he's telling himself but probably also a 'never again' because his friend is gone and he could not prevent that.
I feel like it has multiple meanings.
And because of this line of discussion, I just watched a video with all of the branching options.

Alright...I just finished watching this video..I am both amused and disturbed.

Anyone got any fluffy Solavellan fanfic/headcanons/fanart to share?
It's the kind of day when I need distracting fandom fluff.

I think the extra emotion in his intonation could be just his anger and guilt at not being able to stop it seeping into the words while not meaning anything more, but it's certainly possible. Telling people one thing outright while holding a special meaning for the words himself--it's pretty much one of his favorite things to do.
I think the most obvious choice, if he was talking to himself, would be never again would he let someone do that to a friend. But he's also messed up enough (and experienced things never going the way he wants) that I'd think he'd learn his lesson that that's not really a promise he could realistically make to himself--and he sounded serious enough for it to sound like a realistic promise.
Another option could then be never again would he allow himself to be that invested/vulnerable, but since this happens after he's indulged in a fade kiss and right before a real kiss plus I love you, it doesn't seem like that's something he wouldn't be obviously (even to himself) lying about either.
So I'm not sure either of those speculations work. What other meanings were you thinking he might have had? Or could it be less personal and more to do with his "big plans?" Never again will spirits be so vulnerable or will stupid human mages be so arrogant or powerful type of thing?
