^ and necromancer.

 

Ah! Yeah, thanks. All mage specializations, basically.

[FernRain]

I'm on the necromancer defense squad, don't mind me .

 

Which btw, in trespasser they added wisps to the mark of the dead optional skill point. I had been missing my wisp from origins. Too bad it's too late for that character now.

The other day, I was drawing a pride demon for... reasons... and I noticed something interesting about their hands.





And shhhhhhhhh I know the sentinels also have that glove plate thing, but I still love that little detail. There are other aspects of his costume that might be subtle nods. The loose, pelt-y torso gives him that same top-heavy triangular shape, and the tight leggings make his legs smaller by comparison. The claw toes on his shoes could also be a nod to pride demons, in addition to being a wolf reference.

I, uh, I'm enjoying this pic for....reasons!

As far as I know, there's only one class-related flirt for the Solasmance, and it happens pretty early, in Haven. He'll admire you differently depending on your class . And he'll comment on Rift Mage and Knight Enchanter specializations, though that isn't really part of the romance. But otherwise, whether you get the Arcane dialogue options as a perk seems to matter more.

I really love the rogue flirt, but then I play one so I'm probably biased. Still, it's a nice change from playing mage, which I also tend to do a lot of.

Yeah, I always go with a knight enchanter ice mage so I haven't heard his rogue flirt.

And I think you got this point across quite well. My mother is disabled. She was diagnosed with MS in her 20s and now she's in her 50s and has gotten worse over time. People have underestimated her for years. She definitely has limitations and needs more assistance now that she gets around mostly with a wheelchair, but she's just...my mother. We have always adjusted as needed. Seeing people first is so important. And people are pretty resilient.

 

One of my best friends was diagnosed with MS two years ago. It was a long struggle to even get the proper diagnosis and they are still trying different treatments to find the one that works best for her. Those first couple of years were very difficult, but now she is starting a lab of her own at a research institute, goes to PT, and rides her bike regularly. There were things she lost because of her disease, she says she misses how much energy she used to have, and she regrets not being able to start a family, but she found other goals that can make her happy. So yes, people are pretty resilient. It's best not to underestimate.

Oh I'm with you there. Before that flirt I was still wishy washy on who my Lavellan was going to romance, and it was my first playthrough. And then it happened and I was like

 

. Hot damn. Solas it is then 

 

and now everything hurts

The first time I heard that flirt, not only did I headcanon my character as blushing, but I think I was also blushing lol.

 

Man, Solas, that was smooth.

Oh good, out of likes.

 

That's actually the main reason I grew up an only child. But you find ways and things to do and enjoy and be happy about. There were always some limitations but working around them and adaptation, these were good influences. I'm probably visiting my mom on the weekend and we may go to lunch as a birthday thing for me. We haven't gone out to eat since my birthday two years ago since she had a bad health year last year. But over the past year, she has improved again. I'm looking forward to it.

I probably was too. It's so unexpectedly smooth and charming.

That may have sealed it for me too. I decided on Solas while still at Haven.

 

 

We were such innocent Lavellans back then.

You have a birthday comming up, yay! The thread should bake for you... cinnamon rolls!

Oh, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, as it was my second playthrough and I'd been spoiled already. Still, it hurt so good

Same here. Romanced him on my second PT, but I didn't know the breakup was coming. Somehow I expected maybe Lavellan could run away with him or something... yes, I was very naive. But thanks to Solas I've learned to appreciate, and even enjoy pain

I don't even like angst! I like my love stories with happy ending. And I still can't get enough of Solas *sighs* I think it has to do with the fact we've not had any closure yet and so there is still hope for some form of happy ending, even if it's bittersweet. If it does end badly though, even after working hard on redeeming him, it might sour me on the whole thing.

 

Edit : TOP Solas!

I was not looking for or expecting angst, especially after Anders. I had no idea.  The adorable awkwardness of Alistair seems so very far away.

Even Alistair could get sad quickly. First playthrough with my mage Amell, I made him king and then he broke up with me. Then, he proposed that I be his mistress and my poor mage was so offended! I also refused the dark ritual in that one. Oh boy... I really had no idea what I was doing lol

I wasn't. I romance him on my third playthrough so I knew full well. I jumped into hell spiral on my own accord. No regrets.

Oh, definitely. And depending whether he was hardened or not. But the ritual happened and my Warden married him and it was adorable.

No hope for me. I still expect the worst. But I love drama.

Oh man, I came so close to not romancing Solas at all. If I hadn't upgraded to PS4 halfway through my playthrough I probably wouldn't have.

 

Originally I was romancing Cullen and got up to all of the lyrium draaaamaaa, but when I re-started on the newer console I didn't want to retread the same stuff again (and I was kind of worried that they were going for some sort of angsty lyrium-withdrawal thing and he'd die and another of my characters would be sad), so I romanced Solas because he seemed a safe bet for sweet fade-naps and general chill-ness.

 

How wrong I was.

(I mean, to be fair, I do live off the drama and the angst but like... I wanted to try something new, maybe get out of my tear-filled comfort zone for a bit)

[Cee]

I continue to feel hopeful after Trespasser. I didn't feel hopeful before Trespasser. I feared and expected something terrible or some bittersweet closing the door since we knew he'd have to go forward for story reasons and presumed new protagonist, whatever.

 

But no, Trespasser filled me with hope. Cole helped.

Just found this on reddit's DA page, relevant to current topic I think:

 

anndor:

I think there's also something about the.... I guess special snowflake-ness of Solasmance?

Like, Cullen, from a meta view, Cullen is open to any of the female Inquisitors. Solas is only open to female elves.

Cullen, as a character, I could see eventually finding some nice lady and settling down, being in love, being happy post-Inquisition.

Solas, as a character.... Lavellan is a surprise. He was not expecting that. Not looking for it (whereas I think Cullen would, eventually, hope and look for love). It was probably just a non-issue that he never even thought about. But then you blind-side him. He loves you more than the fade. He loves you, possibly, more than his desire to restore his world and people. It's only his guilt and sense of duty that pushes him away.

I mean. Guh. Yes, Cullen is cute and the romance is cute. But Solas the romance is way more.. like... you've accomplished something. You've caught a unicorn by earning his love. Like taming a wild animal, but he's not really tame, he only fully trusts you. Because you're so unique. You know? How can you not just melt and die inside over that sort of thing?

And all the Cullen scenes are rather cute and gentle. The desk part has a bit of fire to it, but that's it.

Every scene with Solas you can just see his careful control snapping and it's just... so much more passionate? Even in the more cutesy, fluffy Crestwood scene, his kiss is still like he's trying to eat your face. He grabs onto you so "This, yes, mine. It can't work but I wish it could work. It can't work but just for right now we can make it work. Treasure it while I can."

I don't think I'm making sense or doing justice to my thoughts, haha.

Edit: I now think this is why there's a lot of modern AUs and Solas/Non-Lavellan fic's I really can't get into. Solavellan's just... it works so well, from a story standpoint. And when you put them in different contexts, that may no longer be the case. Like, take a modern AU for example, where Solas is just some weird racist elf with a deep secret. Take his Dread Wolf aspect away, and yes he may still act like Solas, but he lacks the pathos and contrast that makes Solas as a character so interesting too. And on the other hand, if the other party isn't a Lavellan, then the struggle of loving this man, and the irony of falling in love with the Dread Wolf, just isn't so stark. Not to say other pairings or contexts can't work. They're just much harder for me to get into, as a reader.
