This picture made me laugh harder than I should have. I just...his little tush and he somehow looks so sulky.

Okay, sorry to possibly double post, but these are hysterical.

Pretty sure this is the source.

I think the third one is my personal favorite.

Second degree burns are actually much more serious than you might think. I had second degree verging on third a couple years ago all up and down my legs. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, bed-ridden for 2 months, had 3 surgeries, and had to go through physical therapy to walk again. I lost a ton of weight due to my body having to regrow skin, and I got nasty scars all over my legs. I then couldn't be in the sunlight for 2 years. 

 

As to how they look, my skin bubbled. The bubbles were as big as Tennis balls some of them. My skin fell off my body in sheets when I got the burn, and afterwards was *****, red, and extremely painful. The burns killed almost down to my nerves, so all my skin had to be taken off of me in a series of procedures down to what was alive. Afterwards, I was scarred with purplish-red blotches everywhere I was burned. It looked like zombie skin. Now it's very faded, and not nearly as horrific looking.

 

Burns are extremely serious. Please handle them with care in your writing

 

I've had second degree sunburn. Different but it was very, very painful. It was very red. Mine was all over my arms, my upper chest, the back of my neck, and part of my back. I had been wearing a tank top. For 2-3 weeks, I could only sleep on my side. It was kind of burning painful. it blistered and those blisters would regularly open up and weep. Skin kept peeling and peeling and peeling.  I was also very, very brown that summer after the bulk of my skin healing happened, but some of the browned/burnt skin also began to peel off. So my arms were kind of splotchy.  It took months to completely heal.

 

I was 17 when that happened and have tried to avoid sun exposure/use sunscreen since then.

 

I was a student so carrying a backpack was the worst.

 

 

I was a little sick a week or so ago, but for me it's the rapid weather change. Yay fall!

 

 

The weather change and whatever it has been stirring up has certainly got me. Just took another antihistamine dose.

I am starting to feel that the redeem option is the only permanent solution to Solas' issue. If we kill him, he's probably just going to be reborn again like what happened to Mythal. The evanuris cannot be permanently killed as far as we know. Then Solas is just going to try his plan again in the future. Also he seems pretty impossible to kill anyway considering that none of our opponents so far has been as powerful as him.

Merman Solas inspired me to do this.

Look at the Fade, isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my exploring's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the guy

The guy who's seen everything?

 

Look at this dream, treasures untold

How many wonders can a memory hold?

Looking around here you'd think

Sure, he's got everything

 

I've got dreams and memories plenty

I've got spirits and visions galore

Elven artefacts? I've got twenty!

But who cares? No big deal,

I want more

 

I wanna be where the gremlins are

I wanna see, wanna see them dancing

 

Putting on shirts with those

What do you call 'em? Oh, buttons

 

A shadow in dreams, you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Warming your feet with the

What's that word again?

Shoes

 

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they eat cake in the sun

Wandering free

Wish I could be, part of that world

 

What would I give if I could live

Out of uthenera?

What would I pay to spend a day

On the Storm Coast?

 

Betcha' the Dalish, they'd understand

Bet they don't reprimand teh Dread Wolf

Bright young da'len, sick of shemlen

Ready to stand

 

And ready to know what the People know

Ask me some questions

And get some answers

What's veilfire and why does it - what's the word?

Burn?

 

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love, love to explore that land out beyond?

Out of the Fade

Wish I could be

Part of that world

 

 

You've just taken my favorite song from my favorite film and this is brilliant.

No worries, after careful research I have him first degree burns which were healed in no time but a caring Lavellan.

I'm agreeing with the Sundermount theories offered up here. Worth noting that the cave that Merrill's demon buddy is in is called "Pride's End", and that there's one of those multi-armed fat statues that's been linked to the ancient elves, the Dales, and Dumat-worshipers. The 'Thing in the Dark' that's caused no end of theorizing.

 

On a RL note,

Spoiler

there's been a threat of a shooting at my college tomorrow. After all of the shootings in the past year in the area, the tendency for copycat shootings, the shooting a few days ago, and the unstable personality of the person making the threats, everyone's a little bit on edge. And a lot of us have tests tomorrow, but the school is insisting that classes go on as scheduled.

I really don't want to fail my math class. But I also don't fancy dying. Anyone have any experience with school threats like this? I come from a small town. The most shocking, dangerous thing to happen to us is when one guy smoked all of the pot and tried to park in the teachers' spot in his tractor.

It would also be a bad way to end him I think I really want the redeem option to be there. I really hope that they don't turn him into the same old villain that we just go and kill. There is so much more to solas. I just want to save solas make him see a new Path. Please

[Mairemalley]

Speaking of him being thrown off guard, you get to see him admit that here at 3:54:

This is if you flirt and then don't go in for the kiss in the fade.

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but This has always confused me.

Why does he say 'were'?
Solas: "Where do you think we were?"
Quizzes: "This isn't real..."

He's speaking in the past tense, Quizzie in the present. Why? Why doesn't he say "where do you think we are?" I'm having trouble viewing this as a simple mistake, so what is it? Whyyyyyyy?

On your RL note.......that sounds like a terribly casual attitude to me.

I don't know if anyone here recalls the Westside school shooting in Arkansas like 18 years or so ago.....well, that was my hometown. I was in something like the 6th grade when that happened(I went to a school on the other side of the town, but even my school went into a lockdown situation when it happened) and let me tell you.....my hometown takes shooting threats to the utmost level of serious now.

Don't. Go. (I'm mean sure go if you want but I really think you shouldn't) 

 

My school is one of those goodie two shoes "everything is great we all have A+'s and super rich parents yay!" places. Well, this one time, a kid committed suicide and his dad set fire to the school one day for "revenge." Thing is, if you're threatening like that guy is (from your story) you're not right in the head some how. Don't trust the morality and sanity of strangers. Crazy things happen, and it's better to be cautious than dead. 

 

edit: not that long ago (a week ago?) someone put on social media for no one to go to their school, as something bad was going to happen. The next day, he went and shot up as many people as he could. I believe 20 people died. It sounds casual, but mentally ill people aren't like us. Be careful.

If repeating a math test/class is the worst outcome of staying home.....I'd say that's a fair trade. Repeating the entire semester is a fair trade if you ask me.

Just wanted to point out that most mentally ill people are non-violent and are in fact, the victims.

I live in the Philippines.   Tropical weather and all that. 

Oh that's awesome! I've never traveled outside of North America, but I imagine the weather is similar to the Caribbeans?

I'm not a heat person myself, I prefer nice systematic season changes of hot (my hot not yours), cool, cold, cool and repeat, but I'd love to visit the Philippines one day 

 

 

Ahaha, some of the questions I've had to explore:

• what is the size of an average bladder and how big would Solas' be?
• should I give  Solas first or second degree burns? how do they look? how do they heal? 
• how does one induce childbirth and what are some serious childbirth complications?
• how do I say **** in latin?

 

 Uhhh, interesting. The bladder one? And actually all of them?

 

Oh, wow, thank you all, guys, I'm out of likes but here are many hearts.           

 

I should seriously get back to work now... See you in 10 minutes 

Enjoy your microscoping! 

 

I'm having trouble "delurking" as you say. For some reason I've become really bummed out about Solas, but not in an emotional way. More like I'm just resolute about his story arch. All my feels have calmed and now I'm firmly in the "welp I guess this is really depressing" state of emotional fandom whiplash. I can't really bring myself to agonize over him anymore ... 

 

it's like ... I'm officially ok with what's happened in the DLC and his story as a whole? 

 

I'm at peace with his character and his part in the plot, so I don't really have much left to say =3= I might later though, but right now I'm pretty chill with everything 

Someone quick, she needs 50CCs of Solaspiration!

It's okay though Crusher, we get off topic enough that you should have plenty of delurk openings!

 

I need a Solas Jack-o-lantern! Solas-o-lantern!

*Shudders* welp, that's gonna get me to use sunscreen real fast.

 

I'm pretty cleared up now, but I'm sure I'll have plenty of ups and downs all season. CURSE YOU NATURE! I hope you feel better !

We might be able to do it with Morrigan's help... not that I want to, I'm just sayin'

That stuff is so effed up, my college hasn't gotten any threats but it's so fricking scary just thinking about the possibilities. People are just, uhh. Please be safe, talk to your parents and your professors abut it. See what they think and if the professors will work with you! You should never be forced to put yourself into a situation that is unsafe.

I'm with this. There's no accounting for crazy. It's not going to refer to the usual habits of the are ("well, I would shoot up the college but that kind of thing has never happened here before.").

Even if the university admin are insisting all goes forward doesn't necessarily mean your prof agrees. I'd send an email to your prof expressing your concern and asking if you may be able to come up with an alternate arrangement. Even if they don't agree, the existence of the email sent asap can help you asking for a rewrite later (prof will know you didn't just sleep in). Or they may agree to work with you. And it will do you no harm even if they don't.

I don't mean mentally ill as in having disorders. Everyone in my family has some type of mental disorder, so I understand that. I mean the really sick, ill people who have the potential to do horrific, unpredictable things. Sorry if I miscommunicated x-x

[Caddius]

Just wanted to point out that most mentally ill people are non-violent and are in fact, the victims.

Of course. Really grinds my gears to hear the statistics on that, actually.

I wasn't trying to say, "All mentally ill people are dangerous", just that this guy's brand of mentally ill is the kind that is. Or at least it seems so from my layman's perspective.

This. You'd be surprised at how accommodating some profs can be. Especially if you're a decent student.

 

Some are asses though, so good luck lol.

You know.....writing fanfics takes you to some odd places for research thingys.

 

I'v been spending my evening watching ballroom dancing competitions. For science.

 

Which leads to the ultimate question.

 

What ballroom dance is Solas?

 

I'd associate him with a waltz.

 

In terms of fic writing, I've been looking up multiple things, including images and the main issue I sometimes run into is finding reference images that are not overly sexual, in the wrong position, or unrelated.  Looked up clothing info and information on tanning (how to prepare skins for eventual dyeing/tanning/leatherworking). I needed only about two or three lines that referenced it, but Nirwen's mother is a tanner, so that was researched.

 

I've also been very mindful when writing about the past to try and avoid some of the awful stereotypes that often plague tales of queer romance. Even though their relationship does inevitably end and sure, they have their conflicts, there's sometimes such a lack of relatively happy F/F stories. I had this discussion the other day with some people, with regards to fanfiction as well as general literature.

 

(I found this the other day, for October: http://www.queerromancemonth.com/if anyone else is interested.)

Well the one with the test is basically a math-punning teddy bear, but apparently he's a stickler for not having retakes.

I'll try sending him an e-mail. Thanks for the comments, everyone.

 

Okay, who else thinks that after all of those burns, EggCrusher should have been upgraded to honorary Dark Lord of the Sith?

Well, a final note on it then, if you just honestly say that you are just genuinely concerned about the threat I would think that if your teacher has any sense to them at all they would excuse you for it. I mean, I think they would be happier letting you retake the test than if God forbid something happen and their last contact with you was them denying a test retake for being cautious.
