That was awesome  :lol: I had to struggle to hold in the laughter.

 

I'm mad your brought up coffee though! :P I slept less than three hours last night and now I'm sitting at my library cold and very tired... I can go to the cafe and purchase myself a coffee but I'm trying to save my money  :crying: I know it isn't that much but if I keep telling myself that it keeps adding up. But it's just for today... but then I wanted to buy a pack of gum too... and if I give in today I'm setting a precedent for future cold and tired days!

 

Sweet Maker in the Fade I am so broke I cannot believe I'm having a mental battle over a cup of coffee... that's free if I wait a few hours until I can drink the coffee my mother pays for... but I'm tired noooow.  :unsure: I believe this is where I hashtag first world problems.

 

 

 

 

I feel so left out! I was about to say add me as a knee jerk reaction without even seeing what you guys were talking about... *grumble*pcmasterraceerwhycan'tihavenicethings

 

I feel like I wouldn't have done a very good job with sticking to what my Lavellan would actually say if Solas had revealed himself at Crestwood.

Solas: ... I am Fen'Harel.

Me: That's so awesome! We're dating a god!

Me taking away Lavellan's will as a character: That's so awesome! I'm dating a god!

Solas: That was not the reaction I had expected.

 

How do you guys go about speaking of your Lavellan and your relationship with Solas? Do you say my not-god not-so-hobo-anymore elf Solas, Lavellan's not-god not-so-hobo-anymore elf Solas, or our not-god not-so-hobo-anymore elf Solas usually?

 

I want coffee Kadan! And knitting is so cute! I wish I could do crafty things! Mittens and scarves, mittens and scarves *sings*!

I would send you some coffee if I could!

 

If I admit that I often insert myself in the romance does that mean I have a problem I should have addressed? <_< 

 

On the one hand my OC knows who he is so she would be like, it's about damn time!

 

If I were to play a true Dalish elf she might not be so happy to hear it at first, but she wouldn't kick him to the curb for it. And after she gave it some thought she would see that they aren't that different. She's had to make some tough choices as Inquisitor, some that went against what she wanted because they were the right decisions for Thedas and not just one or two people.

Let's test this assumption about readers:

Mayriya Lavellan - A mage, seems to be in her late twenties/early thirties. Has unusual views on religion and the past compared to her clan and most of the Dalish in general, which seems to have made her feel like an outsider at some point. Seems worldly and pragmatic enough to be able to handle Zevran, but still shocked by some of his more brutal antics. Interested in learning more about healing magic. Has a spirit arm.

Nirwen Lavellan - A very dangerous Lavellan. She will draw you in with kindness and patience, but if you don't watch out, she could totally stab you. Family is very important to her, and she has a very special relationship with her friend Nehn. Totally fails at laundry.

Clariel Lavellan - Very young, innocent, and naive at matters of the heart, but hardy otherwise. Loves complicated contraptions. Seems to deal with emotional difficulty by working harder, and is generally very level-headed and not drama-prone. Really digs the Avvar. And I don't know how 'canon' it is, but I love the idea of her dealing with blooming first love by prouncing around and killing corpses in the Fallow Mire.


Oh, it's canon! As in I the player got Solas's line about potential "trouble" after the Fade kiss, said "Oh for f---s sake," and ran off to kill zombies with Best Mage for a few hours :D. And I'm glad her personality came through; I can count that as a modest writing success.

Okay, so, update on my reading of Feynite's fanfiction: Decided to skip Dread Wolf's Heart for now. I'll come back to it later if Looking Glass manages to impress which... it hasn't, so far. To that end -

 

(Spoilered because some people don't care and others probably won't like what I have to say about this)

 

Spoiler

 

*Sigh* This is why I hate fix-it fic. It rarely pays any respect to what it's fixing.

 

Wow ok, that nap took way longer than I thought it would hahaha. Had to catch up on some writing first, but I've got free time right now, finally. So, Looking Glass defense under spoiler tags.

I'm very happy to hear it's canon. Just, best mental image ever  :lol:

 

Of course her personality comes through, you write well, senpai.

So, is the Solas Romance a very good one? I'm tempted to do it ever since Trespasser. This will mean, I have to make a new female elf just for Solas. I'm not too fond of playing elves, but I can deal with a female elf. A male elf? I don't even want to think about it.

I would say that it depends what you are lookin for. You want some romance with some drama that might get you a little heart broken (also you must dig all the info about elvhen history and stuff (at least most) to understand certain things :) well at least I had to do it before the romance) He does have some lines that made me giggle but he is not just a basic pervert bull or uber romantic Cullen. Solas was my favourite romance because I felt like the whole story with him (inquisition story) made more sense to me. It felt like it was supposed to be the main romance (though it was not meant to be like that. First they were not even going to make him as a romance option as we all know) but I somehow got connected to him with his whole story.. how he started it all and has to deal with all his mistakes (you know this on trespasser) and then your own character falls in love with him and he falls for her but yet knows it is so wrong and he has not done the right thing. The sadness the passion the happiness and things they have to deal together bond them and it makes him so broken yet complete and I just can feel this through the game. Of course if you are looking for a happy ending like Cullen I would say do not go for this. It is amazing to see how tough Lavellan can be going through all this (thinking about she is an elf all the history how she gets to know the ''truth''). (Idk if you spoiled yourself about the romance though so I won't tell about scenes and what happens there) But I like how in the end we all can have still hope to save Solas (you mentioned seeing/playing trespasser so you must know that part) And since the first game appeared all the history and things about the elves.. when you listen to what he says during gameplay you gotta pay close attention to those :PP Even if you played it before.. I've always figured something he says more that I feel so stupid that I did not see the first time I played haha.

He's straight, so male elf is outta question if you're after him.

It;s a good romance, yes; it will probably make you want to kick him in his groin too, or alternatively cry in the corner. But it's something worth trying, I'd say.

As you can clearly see, we love it. :P

I know he's not bi. I was merely stating that it's out of the question for me to play a male elf.

Yes! It's my favorite in Inquisition and many people's favorite all around! Trespasser was amazing (amazing as in emotional, dramatic, and traumatic!) with the romance!

Elves are so pretty! What race do you usually play as? I only ever do humans and elves as canons and firsts, it takes awhile for me to motivate myself with the other races, and I prefer playing as a female.

I've played male dwarves, female human, and a female elf, so far. Female Human being my first. I do generally like playing as a female more, but male dwarves were a very nice change of pace too. Did a Dorian and Cassandra romance with them.

Yepp, same for me. And honestly I don't get what there is not to like about reading. In my experience only people who have a very limited imagination do not like books. Or people who just never have been taught that it is fun. My boyfriend is an example for that. His mother never read to him or with him when he was a child, he was put in front of the television (as she is doing with her grandchild now, too, which I find very sad). I can't remember when he started reading, but it was the vampire chronicles series by Anne Rice that caught him. He owns all the books and had read them all. Later we co-read the Song of Ice and Fire series. But overall he learned so many things when he got to know me and my family; his is pretty much disfunctional with all kinds of problems and with me and my family he got a sense of what all this can be like. But that's another topic.

So btt: A least favorite adaptation .. I have to think about that. There are many that I don't like much, almost everyone tbh. I'm sure you know how it is when you wait for your most favorite scene of a book and it just never happens in the movie? Or it is completey changed and you just hink "ugh, wtf ist this"? I try to view movies as another medium and therefore try not to compare too much, but I often just can't help it. Especially if they changed things for no apparent reason.

Recently the worst adaption that I can think of was the Maze Runner. I read the trilogy during this year's reading challenge and I kinda liked it (yeah it's a YA series and has its flaws, but overall it was a good and quick read and the story was okay). Then I watched the movie and it seemed everything was changed except for the title, the maze and some names. Ugh, it was really bad. I don't even want to watch the second part.

Growing up with Harry Potter the movies were a thing, too, but they are okay, mostly. Order of the Phoenix was the worst. And since that film the following ones were hard to understand for people who did not read the books.

Oh, I guess I know what the worst adaptation is: Queen of the Damned. Hell no. No. No. No. (Imagine there is a "nope nope nope" gif here.) That was really really really bad - an abomination I never want to see again. Two or three books mashed into one film, picking only things that they liked, changing everything else and depicting the characters completely wrong. It was awful. Do you know it? And do you happen to know the book(s)?

 

I have been writing since I was able to, but some time I wanted to become more professional and looked up things like plotting and stuff. That's when I stumbled across a great (but German) website by a female author who gave tipps for writing, teaching techniques and stuff and it was really great. There was a forum too where people could post their stories for feedback or ask about things they were not able to research and yeah, I love it. :D This is where I got the tipp with the character sheets. There also was a questionnaire with 100 questions directed at your character, although I just fill it in for the main protagonists. It helps to create realistic characters.

 

That picture of Solas is so lovely, I just .. love it. (Ahem, don't judge my writing skills upon what I'm writing here, please. I'm much better in my own language. :D )

I actually hated reading up until middle school. My reading comprehension sucked and I had to take special classes for it. My mom just kept buying books and trying to get me to read them. I remember with the Goosebumps books I'd read the beginning and end of each chapter so I'd know what was going on and could pretend I read the whole book :lol:! Well one day my mom comes home with the first four books of a series and says she got them for me. I immediately tell her I don't want them so she reads the back of the first one Midnight for Charlie Bone. Which of course I said it sounded dumb so she begins to read the actual book and I stayed and pretended I wasn't listening after she read almost the whole first chapter. Then as soon as she went upstairs and out of sight I grabbed the book and continued reading it. After I finished that one I moved on to the other books, and then more after that. I've been in love with reading ever since!

 

A few years ago my sisters were having the same problems I was with reading. I think they were 7 and 10 at the time. Anyway, I decided I'd do the same thing for them, except I actually read a few whole books, but it was always the beginning of a series so they'd want to know what happened and I wouldn't read the second one to them :D. My now 13 year old sister reads almost as much as I do (unfortunately she loves YA romance *gags*) and my now 10 year old sister reads sporadically all different types of books... she has trouble finishing them though, which coincidentally I have the same problem with TV shows.

 

I watched a little of Maze Runner and didn't like it but I never read the book and I've never read any of Anne Rice's books, though they are on my list. I only watched the first movie, which I enjoyed, but I found out later they cut a lot out to make it "acceptable". My least favorite adaptions are Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and Eragon. How can you make something so bad from a book so good (mostly towards PJ. I'm not really a huge fan of Eragon)!?

I want to mention the abomination that was The Last Airbender, but as that was a TV to movie adaption I won't.

...whoops just did! It was a horrible abomination of nature. A sin against humanity. An affront to the Maker and all the gods and not-gods everywhere.  ^_^ I'm not bitter or anything though!

A lot of people say The Order of the Phoenix was the worst book too, which call me crazy and dip me in lava, but it's my favorite. I know, I know, but it was the first one I read in the series and you know first impressions and first loves and all!

 

If you did not point it out I wouldn't have known English wasn't your first language, it's great! And I know I write spastically when I'm on the forums! I'll go back and read my previous posts and it will sound dreadful. Your complelty fine with not always righting it write on these posts as long as you actually no how two in you're real important writing!  ;) Or, at least that's what I tell myself when I get embarrassed about the mess I just posted!

I've finally flattened Haven to the ground. Yay. Had to split the chapter in two, somehow tripled my expected wordcount there. So the first half's up, the second still requires heavy editing. If anyone here reads it, that is.

Completely off topic, but I saw someone mention Crimson Peak a few pages back. Went to see the movie last night and damn, I have feelz about it and they are so mixed. Such a gorgeous movie visually (and Tom Hiddleston *sighs*) but it still frustrated me to no end. I needed to vent that to someone, so sorry everyone :P

Seems worldly and pragmatic enough to be able to handle Zevran, but still shocked by some of his more brutal antics. Interested in learning more about healing magic. Has a spirit arm.

 

Nirwen Lavellan - A very dangerous Lavellan. She will draw you in with kindness and patience, but if you don't watch out, she could totally stab you. Family is very important to her, and she has a very special relationship with her friend Nehn. Totally fails at laundry.

And I don't know how 'canon' it is, but I love the idea of her dealing with blooming first love by prouncing around and killing corpses in the Fallow Mire.

 

Some Lavellans that are not from the blanketfort:

 

Rial Lavellan from Apotheosis - The Dalishest Lavellan ever. Does not like wearing shoes and panties. Free spirit, can play the Game as Inquisitor, but can disregard it completely too, if something else is more important to her. It was sad watching her having to let go bit by bit of everything she holds dear about her clan, the Creators, the elves as one people. I cried a little when I read these lines from the latest story about her:

 

“Oh, Maker forbid you settle for anything so mundane.”
 
“You swear by a new god, I see.”
 
“The other ones didn’t pan out.”
 
Isii Lavellan from Bread Wolf - I love Isii. She's strong and stubborn, but not to an unreasonable degree. Not afraid to say what she wants. Clever. I wish she would get into a little more trouble, but the fic is still going.
 
Ellana Lavellan from Doughnut Rebel - She is shy and anxious in such a cute way. Really, the most adorkable Lavellan, especially in combination with the Solas in that fic. Insecure about her heritage. Does not get along with her brother, I really don't get why, her brother's awesome. 
 
I like to read stories like that, with Lavellans that have personalities, the more different than mine, the better. Please, let me know more of your Lavellans. Don't worry about me being able to insert mine. She's already quite keen in inserting herself where she doesn't belong.
 
If the concept of writing a vague character is important to you as a writer, by all means, follow your inspiration. But for as long as I can help shape this community, I will not support expressing one's ideas less, especially for the sake of metrics.

 

I love this reader's digest version of different Lavellans.

 

And I like Isii Lavellan also. Like, if I had choose a Lavellan to watch smacking Solas upside the head and dragging him back to reality I think it would be her.

And mittens and scarves too!

 

:lol: , it's a roleplaying game. I don't think it's an issue! 

 

Haha, yeah. I'd have that reaction too!

 

My Lavellan wouldn't reject him over it either. Realistically she might react with fear (can you imagine if your boyfriend told you, and you didn't think he was crazy, that he was the boogie man or some other trickster character from a legend you were raised to believe?) but that wouldn't last long, maybe just a flicker of it across her face and a step away from him. I think she'd get angry because she was confused and it was a lot to take in, she might yell or curse or even be in denial. After she calms down though she'd be sad he lied (I know I know omissed) to her. She'd start asking him questions and he'd answer and then I have no idea what happens with the Veil and all that! But this way she's with him to support him and to keep him from making horrible choices!

 

Someone should write a fic where in an alternate reality Solas reveals himself at Crestwood! I'd read it!

Well, I'm a fan of victorian-era costume and aesthetic and Del Toro has made something visually stunning and really atmospheric. The movie is, I think, very self-aware of the tropes it exploits as far as gothic romances and gothic horror go. It's not a horror movie and it's really too bad that it's being marketed this way. I just wish he'd not gone quite as strongly for ALL the tropes of gothic romances though. The madonna/****** dichotomy and TSTL bits for the female protagonist made me roll my eyes, and knowing the genre, I could see the twists and turns of the plot from at least a mile away. I wish the story would have subverted the tropes instead of playing into them in full. Still, I don't regret going and I'm planning some cosplay sewing of at least one of those gorgeous dresses! 

 

Edit : Tom hiddleston in victorian formal clothes! Yes please, I want more of it. Also... h e's intense enough as an actor, and with the kind of angular features... he'd make a nice Solas (but then, that might be me talking because I have a huge actor crush on the guy).
