Hugs.

My last one did it too. I married after that.

Which is probably Mythal's pushing events,considering that the dude left me 8 mo preggo.

Was a delightful year after that. Not.

 

Hey, life sucks sometimes, but hands you both lemons and sugar at the same time.

Wasn't it for my now 9 year old, I wouldn't be where I am.

Playing Solasmance ruffled some feathers (my ex had waist long dreadlocks in a mohawk... remember young Solas art? Rrrr.), but mostly melancholy wise. It would never work out. And we had some great memories formed together. 

 

So, yeah. As I was saying.

Hugs.

I feel your pain, lethallan.

 

Thank you. It was a bad time all around for me. I lost him and then my beloved cats died (One before he dumped me. Just a few days later and one in April this year) so I'm still nursing wounds, but I have some amazing friends who have supported me through it all. I'm sorry too for you, but glad something wonderful came out of it!

1 hour?

Spoiler

 

IMO we tend to be less "Fandom ruins everything" and more "...what the actual f*** just happened?"

"...what the actual f*** just happened?" is a beautiful state of mind  :P

All this talk about what Solas smells like again...
I'm still trying to work out a perfume formula. I might try to make 3 or 4 different blends based on different aspects.
Keep the ideas coming! :)


I don't know if anyone has ever taken the leaf of a sasafras tree, crushed it and smelled it......but I have and I totally imagine that as part of the smell.

I still remember when David Gaider came in here and called us unicorns.

 

They didn't alway hate the fan threads.

 

I'm (mostly) just poking fun :)  I don't think they hate the fan threads, but I don't blame them for avoiding the forums either.  Developer posts get picked to shreds even in relatively friendly places on the Internet, and I imagine that would get tiring.

 

 

I wanted to test your theory, so I used a random number generator, went to a random page, and this is the first thing I saw:

 

Ah, ranger Rick Solas in his glorious short shorts :wub:  Is it bad that I remember that conversation?

Sassafras is such a fun word.  Saaaasssssafrasssss.  Yeah Sassy Solas smells of Sassafras.

 

 

 

 

Sorry.  Haven't had coffee yet.

Sassafras trees grow all over the place here in Pennsylvania, so I know what you mean. It's that Methyl Salicylate aroma that is also in wintergreen lozenges, Necco wafers and pepto bismol. Sage has a similar effect to my nose.

I always thought Solas smelled like books and paint.  But maybe that's just because I'm a weirdo who misses the smell of actual, hardcover books.

 

Dorian's the one who hangs out in the library, but let's be honest, he's always perfectly perfumed.  Even in the Fallow Mire, waist-deep in dead people and rotting plants :P

Solas smells of the Fade and forgotten books and open fields and the slightest hint of musk beneath the tang of paint? That's the things that come to mind at least.

 

I have nothing to offer right now but an embarrassingly large collection of mostly Solavellan bookmarks, unless I'm convinced to publish that "thing" and/or collaborate on something...Heh...Let me know if anyone needs proofreading or editing, please!:

I'm a voracious reader, what can I say?  :P

 

Added! And drosophila and Garnet and everyone else too.

(Hahaha, I feel like Oprah, giving away all these mod passes. "You get to be a mod and you get to be a mod and, what's that, don't want to be a mod? Well you're still going to be a mod, congratulations!")

Ah, now I can understand what it smells like.

 

I love sage too.

 

I tend to really like spicy, musky, and citrus scents for myself. Patchouli, coriander, bergamot, musk, hint of vanilla maybe.

I would agree about the paint, and Solas would probably smell like parchment too (animal hide). He hovers over the stuff enough that it would likely rub off on him. And in rainy weather with his wolf pelf, wet animal fur LOL

I like the idea of him smelling of books and paint. I've had the thought once in a while, how can everyone in the rotunda, including Solas and people upstairs, handle the smell of paint 24/7?

You get used to it  :lol:. Becomes addicting after a while actually. (Aaaaaand now I'm missing my Fine Arts friends hahaha. What is it about scents and memories?)

Thank you!  <3 That FAQ is awesome, BTW. I actually already did some mod duty and approved the submitted fics. :)

 

Edit: Top Solas! From diagk.

All this talk of Solas' scent reminds me of the Traces of Thedas collection:  http://geekchiccosme...-of-thedas.html 

 

I have the ones for Alistair and Isabella; so good!  It's my "canon" scent for them now.

I have this ginger, spice, and vanilla perfume that I got from our local Renaissance fair, and on the occasions where I wear it, my boyfriend says I smell like a delicious cookie.  Which...I guess is good? :P

 

What would Lavellan smell like?  Mine spends a lot of her free time at Skyhold in the garden, so she probably smells like garden earth and whatever herbs she's been tending.  But Viv has taught her to take a moment and enjoy some of the perks of being Inquisitor, so occasionally, she comes down to the rotunda smelling of her scented oil bath :)  And poor Solas can't decide whether to disapprove or bury his nose in her hair.

Oh, that's actually pretty close to the scent I have in mind for him!

I have the Sephiroth perfume from the Square-Enix shop in Japan. There was a Cloud scent also, but they were quite costly and I was worried about transporting them back to the States. Huge market here developers... Us geek girls are mighty and plentiful!

Well, I headcanon that when they start their training, clan hunters are given scented oils to wear that helps them blend in with the woods and mask some of their own scents, and thus presence. So she continues to apply her woody oil even as she settles into her new life, because it's a little tradition and reminds her of home. So she smells green, woody, a little earthy, perhaps.

 

I've written this into some of my fics, both as what Nirwen smells like but also Nirwen smelling it on Nehn.

I need to amend my previous suggestion...not just any musk, Egyptian musk, old leather-bound books, incense and mystery... :wub:

Dorian greatly disapproves. And probably complains about it constantly.

Ha, I hand't thought of that, thanks!

 

For mine, I would pick something citrus-sy, probably lemongrass.

Last art post from me for the evening.

 

Trespasser: Kiss. (Solavellan)

 

Trespasser: A rather scary-looking Solas.

 

A very lovely Solavellan artwork. (Slightly NSFW for nudity)

Yes, you can't seen her ears and she has no vallaslin but that's a Lavellan according to the artist's tags.

 

The Herald of Fen'Harel. (Solavellan)

 

Some Solas sketches. Love that first one.  :lol:

 

Solas and his quiet Qunari charge based on the artist's dream. Kinda adorable.  ^_^

 

Got elves? Solas, Sera, Fenris, Merrill, and Zevran.
