Is Solas restored to his old strength or is he stronger than ever? He's probably the most powerful mage in Thedas as of now, but is he the same as he was in the war against the Evanuris or is he even more powerful after absorbing Mythal?

 

Mythal was just a fragment of who she was, and it could be she didn't even let him absorb it all, since she did store something in the eluvian at the stinger. And I doubt he'll ever be as powerful as he was while the Veil's still in place, preventing his complete access to the Fade. And most of his power did get lost when the orb was destroyed. Buuuuuut yeah. It's possible he is the most powerful mage in Thedas right now, and I have no idea how it'll be possible to beat him next game.

[Kittn]

yeah the hahren/da'len thing is so not my jam

neither is dom solas

neither is ancient slave owning solas

[makes no.jpg face]

Isn't this still possible though? I mean, I know current main theory's Solas was a spirit first, called by Mythal to guard her until he burned her vallaslin off his face. But while he was still her guardian, I wager he did have Mythal's slaves serving him food and doing his laundry at the very least.

I still dunno about the Solas spirit thing. I'll grant it's just as possible as anything else to be the reason for that line from Cole, but I still just plain don't like the whole idea. He's more fascinating to me if he was elf always. It's also possible that the the path they're taking is that all elves were spirits. In which case I'll just have to stock up on grumpy cat reaction gifs to respond to everything with while nursing my denial.

And here's a spare for you, Solas. :3


I have another theory about the face burning thing which has probably been mentioned already, but since I just sorta wrote about it in the last chapter of my li'l fanfic its on my mind and I wanna jaw about it more. What if Andruil was the one whose vallaslin he burned off his face? According to the story, she did capture him and bid him to serve her. The face brands seemed to be their way of doing that. Maybe him freeing himself from her ropes was a metaphor for him discovering his talent to remove the vallaslin and trying it out on himself first?

That's what he's done in my little story at least, though I'm not actually sure if I want it to be Andruil or Mythal's vallaslin he's removed so I kept it vague. But I do like the idea of the scar being evidence of the first slave he freed, so I'm stickin' with it till somethin better comes along.
 
And er, I don't usually post on this sort of topic but I don't want the domSolas fans to feel too outnumbered so I'll throw in my hand with you guys. I mean, there's just no way I can imagine a submissive Solas. Not with the way he kisses. So if he's gotta be one or the other, I'm going with the other. But! That's headcannon territory I figure, and to each their own. I imagine a lot of it depends on one's Lavellan also. Mine is a playful goofball who would just laugh and smile like an idiot at this whole conversation but be completely overwhelmed by anything he did. You know, if they ever got that far. Poor Tiger.

Personally, I think it's good to question your own preferences every now and then, your kinks being one of them. Like, why do I have this preference? What does that say about me, as a person, and the society that shaped me into this person? But in the same way feminism could never stop me from enjoying the Grease movie no matter how many times I watch it, there's really nothing wrong with liking what you like, so long as it doesn't hurt you or anybody else.

 

Yes, this. As long as it's not hurting or insulting other people, enjoy.

 

I think the biggest draw for me in (at least how I interpret this) was how on equal footing it comes off. Aside from some of his opinions, as on the Dalish, can be condescending, the dynamic is decidedly not a power play or dom or anything like that. During DAI, he got a chance to just be Solas again, and also managed to fall in love.

 

 

I guess I wasn't phased by how he looked in early concepts/screens cause like, if the concept of a character intrigues me, sign me right up. Also after romancing a space dinosaur alien bird lizard man.. a guy with MANDIBLES and A BEAK-LIKE MOUTH and a WASPY THORAX and external CARAPACE.. yeah I'm okay with some bald weird lookin elf lmfao. I just don't really care.

I didn't really find much appeal in his initial promo shots. I like hair to play with. But as in life, who someone is matters the most to me, and so that happened.

That sound you just heard was the sound of my brain exploding.

 

But then I decided to write it:

'Really?  You want me to do what?  *awkward laugh* oh Maker you're serious, aren't you?  I suppose I could, uh, call you a rude name?  While we're, well, you know....

But only if that's fine with you!'

Hm. That does sound possible, though less likely. I think I need a moment to digest that.

There's some Solas in there too.

[flabbadence]

I do wonder about the vallaslin removal though. Was it something only he could do? Or that only the Evanuris and their high priests could do? The latter sounds more likely, though that then begs the question: Did he steal the knowledge? Or was he just in a position to know the spell?

Mythal may have taught him how to do it.

 

The more I think about it, the more I think she covertly aided his rebellion.  And it does match up with her later behavior as Flemeth--nudging events from the shadows, rather than getting directly involved herself.

[Illyria]

Pretty sure if my Amell and Alistair ever saw any of the dom!Alistair fanfiction floating around, she would burst her spleen laughing at him.  Their relationship is much more equitable as of DA:I than DA:O, but she's still the boss in bed

 

Same with Surana and Alistair.  It's even more hilarious because his dialogue in DAO gives the impression that he likes women who are fairly assertive.

 

I think anything with them would go something like this:

 

Surana: Well, you could try with something small.  How about calling me a knife ear?

Alistair: WHY?  WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?

Which would give the Evanuris more reason to murder her when they find out she's been aiding the slave rebellion, that's also probably been disrupting their war against the Forgotten Ones.

[Illyria]

No I just created her yesterday haha! Really? Omg maybe someone made a char like her! I wanna see! Now I am curious!!

 

It's probably the same skin texture and hair mod.  I'm not too great with faces sometimes.

Then Zev overhears the conversation, and Alistair actually melts in a pile of blushing, gooey shame.

She stopped Andruil's rampage with the blighted weapons, but that would only give one of the Evanuris reason to hate her.  Helping Solas would give all of them a reason to gang up on her, and Solas an added level of guilt in avenging her.

 

(because, you know, Solas totally needs to be sadder  )

 It's also possible that the the path they're taking is that all elves were spirits.

 

I'm pretty sure that's a fact. A lot of people seem to be ignoring this bit or perhaps didn't pay much attention to the codices in the Vir Dirthara...

Oh Maker, what have I got myself into?

 

Bare in mind that if you're all expecting smut you're looking at the wrong writer.  I write fluff and comedy and this will (hopefully) be both.

The best part is Zev giving Alistair advice is canon.

I know it is.  I love all the romance banters with Alistair.  Wynne trolls him about it.
