There is a reason I sometimes just force myself to post things I write in order to get them away from myself before I condemn them to endless fiddling and poking.
I just can't help myself. Even if I force-publish my works, eventually many of them are pulled down, get a new slap of (digital) paint or are re-painted from a scratch. I'm just hopeless that way.

It's okay, I just reread the last thing I put up and am making tiny edits but nothing substantial. It just gives you a bit of separation that I find helps with writing.
what painting is this? O_O Sounds interesting
Though I don't see the black parts representing Titans. Looks more like their holding something back, or draining something. I'll not get into what I think that is though, I'd be typing for a while.... 
Edit: Never mind, just saw the link, my bad...
But I'm also a feels sap who gets invested in her own characters a bit deeply. I know where this goes, I wrote it, why are my eyes wet?
I return from the fade!
But I really do wonder what poked his mind to think he should wake up.
I'm calling it now: it was an eclipse involving Thedas' mysteriously missing second moon.
(Two shadowed spheres, an eclipse as fen'harel stirred).

It's late night over here, haven't slept well.... and I have to admit that at this point this looks like the sun is being given an enema...

I'm the same, I cried a little when I wrote my last things.

The sky looks like its being held back, which is interestingly enough the name Solas (more or less) gives as the proper name to the land on which we find Skyhold. The centre black circle is almost certainly the Fade or Fade denizens - that's what Solas uses in his fresco painting when he draws the Breach.

the painting
I don't know where this is exactly in Trespasser, so I'm not sure if those elf figures are Solas, though it looks a lot like it. The figures have the same robes, stylistic magic at their hands, and are (duh) bald. It seems to imply they are involved with the killing of the Titans, which Mythal supposedly did, so it would make sense if Solas was involved.

The painting with the Titan is in the Deep Roads. You have to leave and return to the Deep Roads after the Anchor can do the explody thing. There's a blocked doorway where you can see an active eluvian through a gap in the top. There are gaatlok casks near it but you can't make them blow up. Hence, explody hand necessary.

Lower left corner of the titan image, where the arm is? Looks like a really surprised person being grabbed by the throat. I cannot unsee it anymore.

With the bottom middle golden circle having a moon right under it, *cough* Elgar'nan and Mythal *cough* with the six other Evanuris on either side of them and Fen'Harel apart from all of them. With the left depiction clearly showing Fen'Harel "pridefully" under the moon while "Solas" is on the right, holding an orb, interesting duality... From "keeper" and "guardian" under the moon to "Rebel God"

One wonders whether the foci - the orb - was somehow "made" from a Titan, or its remants. I initially thought the Titan had a core - that was my initial theory (because I played Trespasser before Descent) but in Descent we learn that the lyrium heart like object isn't per se tied to a Titan.
An interesting question is whether we are meant to read from right to left. That's how Solas painted his fresco, so I'm assuming, yes, that's how the ancient elves did it. So we have an elf in that picture with hand raised up (casting?), what we think is a titan, exploding (dying?), and then an elf holding the orb-looking object.
-With the bottom middle golden circle having a moon right under it-
Isn't it the same as the other two golden figures inside the red? That orb the elf on the right has is the same one within the titan image.

I imagine that's just the illustration of the foci - the type of orb Corypheus used and took from Solas. It may not be the same elf, but we know those orbs were very closely tied with the power of the ancient elves (at least those who entered the rank of the Evanuris; and we know they did accept new members).

Nope, that sphere is white, and if you look closely, it's touching the bigger golden sphere directly, while the others on either side are connected to the black spheres with a thin funneled line. I wish I had a laser pointer to showcase what I mean and I don't feel like working the image in paint, but hopefully I'm descriptive enough to showcase what I see.

Weekes tweeted that quissy is saved from the mark. Someone asked if they are only saved temporarily, and he said that they are actually saved.
you missed my post here: http://forum.bioware...one/?p=19722314
I was contemplating as of late, but regarding descent, if the breach got an titan all rilled up and awoken, what would happen if Solas destroyed the veil and unleashed the fade back into the world? Wouldn't that wake all the titans at the same time?
Yeah I took it as it's gonna kill her regardless (just my interpretation, others very possible). The mark.. like with cancer I didn't think it's necessarily as easy as 'excise it, all gone, definitely fine now'. I'm sure I'm influenced by the lens of my personal experience but it's hard not to imagine green tendrils permeating the rest of her body.
Shepard can live, so the comparison isn't quite apt.
HOWEVER I now remembered tweet that PW said it's gone for good and isn't a threat anymore WHICH MAKES ME SUPER HAPPY YASSS
yay so i'm not just imagining it lol

I'm fairly sure this would happen, especially since the breech woke up the titan (or titan's subpart) in Descent. That will be a whole other load of crap that will probably be something we'll have to deal with in the last game.
Are earthquakes always caused by titans? Because there was a note in trespasser that said there was an earthquake in Vol Dorma (Tevinter) which uncovered an eluvian in an Elven ruin. It's just east of Weisshaupt.
So, a friend of mine just finished Trespasser and was struggling with feels and the hell-spiral. Despite the fact that I gave up on Team Optimism after DAI and before Trespasser and had prepared myself for the absolute worst... I finished Trespasser, ruminated for a long time and gathered my thoughts... and bizarrely enough, I am actually back on Team Optimism more firmly than I ever was before.
If you need a shot of hope, then check out the spoiler Wall of Text below for my interpretation of events thus far. Obviously, it contains massive Solas spoilers of every variety imaginable.

bless you for this. someone just pointed me to it as a ray of hope. thank you, both. 
this is some rationality my depression can cling to.
