[Solas]

my friend got the official tabletop game the other day actually we're scheduled to meet up and play it sometime soon

[Garnet]

I can relate, totally...Unfortunately my social awkwardness, anxiety, and shyness extends to the 'net too...but I'm trying. 

Are you actually me?

I'm trying to overcome my anxieties. It takes a lot of "not caring what people think" which is difficult for me. (I know it's all in my head, but is it really?!)

I'm working on it!

I definitely know something about that, being perfectionist myself and a non-native English speaker. But after I began playing ESO people encouraged me to join them in choice chat and group activities and I've realized how much fun it is

In my many years of gaming, I never liked or played multiplayer until Dark Souls. I had a blast, never got into voice chat, but had fun in text chat, especially since those I used to co-op with couldn't believe I was female and old enough to be their mom.

 

I haven't played like that since...

[dawnstone]

I was like that at first, really in any setting I just take the time to get out of my shell and stop worrying about saying something wrong.

Seriously, even if I didn't have feet, I'd end up with one in my mouth.... and saying things like that is how my gutter-minded friends always end up on the floor laughing.

I think it's great that you care what people think. I helps you be more sensitive, empathetic, and intelligent. The thing to keep in mind is that people don't actually think the bad things you imagine. (And probably worry what others think about them most of the time )

Trying to get a better feel for my Lavellan, but I'm not sure how to go about my Lavellan feeling anything but contempt for humans at all times. In that case, why would she help the refugees? Particularly since she thinks humans are all ungrateful ba****s.

I'm wondering, how do your Lavellans deal with humans and what they're outlook on helping them are? Also, how did this translate to the relationship with their human companions? I feel like I'm out of character for being anything but cold towards them.

My Lavellan would be pretty cautious at first, even with the clan's history in dealing with humans. Her interactions previous were mainly in trading and brief encounters over travels, and even then she didn't interact with humans as often as some other members of her clan had to. It wouldn't be enough for her to fully acclimate when a human symbol of faith is thrust upon her and she is suddenly surrounded by them. Lavellan doesn't hate them per se, but for awhile her position only makes her more aware of the stark differences in culture and the racial hierarchy. She's a bit rough around the edges with them in the beginning.

However, she quickly learns to take a pragmatic view in her dealings with them, bound by a sense of duty but knowing that she must rely upon mostly human support in order to succeed. There are times when cynical thoughts cloud her mind, like when she imagines how she would be treated if she weren't the Andraste woman's Herald. And if anything she is driven more by preservation and love for her own culture (Dalish. Not strictly Elvhen, even if it may seem contradictory) than hate for humans. Lavellan knows how different she is and can be, but embraces it instead of allowing herself to alienate from others.

She is open to cultural exchanges, a remnant of her clan's own attitude. And even if she isn't quite at the point where she believes everything is hunky-dory between elves and humans, she acknowledges her new position in life with them and the experience, and friendships, it grants her. She knows what must be done for the greater good, and puts any dwelling thoughts aside to deal with later, to focus on those who need help in that moment. Human or otherwise.

EDIT: I keep editing I'm sorry I'm such a perfectionist even for the most useless things

Well, this is where I've been sourcing my Solavellan feels since last night. 

 

Come to think of it, no wonder all I can write is Solas moping, but I can't stop listening.

Spoiler

 

I know this song! I was listening to it in the car the other day and yes I thought of Solas . But then every song does that to me lately.

 

Marmite scares me.

 

The NZ version?

Spoiler

 

I heard it once describe like 'licking a cat's arse' (Billy Connolly). It's nice in small quantities, on toast.

 

At my evilest? Probably this:

 

 

Both me and her have a penchant to use endearments... especially on those we unleash our snark on

 

I was raised in a very matriarchal family and Vivienne reminds me of them so much . It's like playing the Orlesian 'game' if you're on their bad side, minus the assassination attempts. Funnily, underneath it all they're very sensitive so it's just a front they put up imo .

 

Aw man, I'd love to join you guys. There's not a lot of tabletop opportunities in little NZ, but the timezone plus rubbish work hours are just the worst for online things like this. If all goes well, perhaps I can join you on the next one?

 

Oh hey fellow Kiwi. What part of the country are you in? I'm from Christchurch.

Also, are some of you still going to play ESO on PC? I'm somewhat tempted to update. I have a character on AD and DC.

Clan Lavellan seemed to be on neutral ground with humans. Possibly friendly but with the occasional village yelling at them to get off their lawn if they stayed too long somewhere. My Lavellen was a bit of a bleeding heart when it came to the downtrodden and forgotten. She didn't see humans, she only saw outstretched hands and empty stomachs. Knowing they were refugees struck a chord with her since her clan is always migrating. It would have been easier for her to turn a blind eye to them if they had been particularly antagonistic towards her but most seemed to welcome help.

Woohoo, drosophila was not taken on roll20!

Thank you.

 

It's a teeny, tiny bit more difficult for me to overcome those things because of my perfectionistic tendencies...but, y'know...

I can relate to all of you. I've dealt with depression, social anxiety and panic attacks much of my adult life. Depression first since high school the rest seemed to piggy back on the depression and terrible life experiences. Some days I would be physically ill just at the thought of having to go to the grocery store. I still hate being in crowded loud environments, but it's easier than it used to be.

[FernRain]

Oh exciting! Will do, both of you. Just send me your name @Egg so I know who to add! .

Wow that sounds like me.. I had to leave school when I was part way through my second-to-last year because I couldn't handle it anymore. Fortunately that's not very damning where I'm from.

 

My anxiety is a big hurdle too, always getting in my way.. Can sympathize . I'm not doing myself any favors by staying home most of the time though. Oh well, at least I have ample time to create things.

Some folks on the Solas thread expressed interest in learning how to play a tabletop RPG, so I offered to do a standalone session on roll20.  I'm at capacity for this Saturday, but if you're interested in the future, just PM me  And I'll post a link to the game here on the Blanketfort so anyone who wants to drop in and watch can do so.

Story of my life, really. Though if I'm not in a depressive episode, I just pretend they never existed.

You're probably the first person to say it's great. Most people just say "You shouldn't care!"

But I do and that's probably never going to change.

It isn't so much that I care what others think. It's more of how I perceive myself. (Always in my own head. :x )

I wish to appear more put-together. It's difficult to explain.. But I know that others have these thoughts as well. Ah, life.

I'm really greatful to everyone here for being amazing and awesome and so sweet! It helps immensely with stuff like this. to all.

My Lavellan doesn't especially like humans, she doesn't hate them either.  She tries to balance being pro-elf without being anti-human.   One of the reasons she actually recruits the mages is because there are far more elves among the mages than there are among the templars.  (if there any elven templars, at all)  That and she hates the Chantry.  

 

That said.. it does take her a bit to warm up to Cullen and Cassandra.  Cullen because he's a templar.  Cassandra because, at least in the tutorial, comes off as kind of stab happy.  That and she's basically a cop for the Chantry.  My Lavellan despises the Chantry.    That said, she warmed up to Cassandra a LOT quicker than she did Cullen.  Mostly because Cassandra is completely adorkable. 

 

Blackwall, eh... he falls into the people are people category.  She was indifferent to him at first.  Later, angry that he lied, but respected him for owing up to his past.  After walking his talk, he earned her 100% loyalty.    

 

Vivienne:  My Lavellan despised Vivienne, and wanted her gone:  By foot or catapult, whichever was fastest.  Alas, it was never to be.  I always give her the right heart, tho.  I'm not her.     Actually, i make Vivienne kill the wyvern.  My Lavellan harvests stuff in the area.  I also make Solas hold a veil-fire torch so he wont help.  *cough*      Actually, I'd have fewer problems with Vivi if she were written like a ruthless political mastermind, rather than a high school mean girl.   

 

To be Sera round-about:  My Lavellan doesn't have a problem with humans.  They're just people.  She has a problem with humans being humany.  My Lavellan doesn't care that you're different.  Different is awesome.  You learn and grow from different. 

 

Just don't grab your brand of different, throw it at me, tell me I have to like it, or else--then, call it normal.

I posted chapter 6 earlier today. It's the same on both sites. The OC gets to know a few more people around Haven, and makes a new friend.
