This sounds like something I would have done as well. In 9th grade my Literature teacher was into very dark stuff so we read a lot of Poe, and King as well as other less known writers that wrote dark stories. It was not a happy time in my life and the stories made the depression worse. To this day I can't enjoy Poe or King because of it.

 

There was one that we read called We Have Always Lived in the Castle. I remember I found this one very intriguing, if somewhat creepy. 

 

Edit: And I now have a strange desire to read it again. I just bought a copy of it for my Kindle

I like Poe also. His short stories more than his poems. Mostly cause I suck at poetry. Like, it has to be slap in your face kind of obvious for me to really get it.

 

Though, I do like this one by Poe

A Dream

By Edgar Allan Poe

In visions of the dark night

       I have dreamed of joy departed—

But a waking dream of life and light

       Hath left me broken-hearted.

Ah! what is not a dream by day

       To him whose eyes are cast

On things around him with a ray

       Turned back upon the past?

That holy dream—that holy dream,

       While all the world were chiding,

Hath cheered me as a lovely beam

       A lonely spirit guiding.

What though that light, thro' storm and night,

       So trembled from afar—

What could there be more purely bright

   In Truth's day-star?

 

Sounds like Solas.

Antivan poetry, however....

I tried the short stories once. Got an omnibus. Managed as far as Murder in the Morgue Street. Dunno, for some reason his cheerful disdain for the budding field of forensics rubbed me the wrong way.

 

In any event, and also because it is still acceptably close to Halloween, for some intense dream-like imagery and melancholy experience (that may also have a lot to do with the subject at hand), I whole-heartedly recommend Azatoth by H.P. Lovecraft. I mean, the first sentence of that (very) short story reads:

 

When age fell upon the world, and wonder went out of the minds of men; when grey cities reared to smoky skies tall towers grim and ugly, in whose shadow none might dream of the sun or of spring’s flowering meads; when learning stripped earth of her mantle of beauty, and poets sang no more save of twisted phantoms seen with bleared and inward-looking eyes; when these things had come to pass, and childish hopes had gone away forever, there was a man who travelled out of life on a quest into the spaces whither the world’s dreams had fled. 

 

If that does not leave you equal measure enthralled and depressed, I have no idea what will

.....according to the Wiki Cailan loved books.

And he probably has the same taste in poetry as his brother!

*thinking about HQ Alistair screenshots and gif reminders that she has been practically fanning herself over lately*

 

They more than made up for DA2.

[MayriyaNoori]

You know......I would have loved for Cailan to have lived and after the Blight you have King Cailan and Grey Warden Alistair.

 

Cause you know what's better than one goofy Theirin?

Spoiler

Two of them.

So I'm on the phone telling my son about my dream and how I was yelling for Solas to help and he says "He did, he woke you up and kicked you out of the Fade to save you."

Oh!.. How sweet

Okay now I need to ask this important question..

 

Which evanuris are you?

 

Shari and I were matching people up, so far we've got:

 

Dirthamen: Drosophila (hail Dirthamen), EggCrusher.

Falon'din: Me (creepy).

Andruil: Shari'el ("I headcanon her as completely nuts and it sounds fun to RP").

Ghilan'nain: Sable, NightSpirit (our resident crazy<3 scientists).

Sylaise: Cee (nice and like thread mum).

Elgar'nan: Illyria ("fite me"), Solas (ThreadDad).

June: MayriyaNoori (I think you know why.. "Evanuris parties").

 

(We didn't include Mythal because.. We didn't).

 

Personally I don't really think I resemble any of them, although if I had to chose it would probably be Falon'din since I have quite a morbid sense of humor and I'm not greatly opposed to the thought of being the subject of adulation.  

 

In all seriousness though I think the character in DA that I most resemble is Alistair; I love snark, honor and I am mostly a decent human being (and I really am obsessed with cheese!). 

[Cee]

I've said it before, but I'm basically Josie + Cole smooshed together into a person.

[TheEggCrusher]

I've said it before, but I'm basically Josie + Cole smooshed together into a person.

I'm basically Flemeth smooshed together with Solas. 

 

As you could imagine, I'm not exactly ... friendly lol 

 

edit: everything that you think I might be from that combination is probably true. Is it terrifying? Most likely. Is it borderline unholy? Absolutely.

*walks into Blanket Fort*

 

So, it was a beautiful fall day here. Really nice.....I took my daughter out for a stroll to the market. Good times.

 

Then on the walk back, I was hailed on.

 

Yep.

[S.W.]

I am probably some tragic mixture of Merrill and Anders. Maybe with touches of Sera (the angry part of me which loves dick jokes) and Solas (the academic miser who gets picky about other people's logical fallacies, and the insufferable part of me which writes out REALLY LONG dissertation-length posts on tumblr/facebook which nobody asked for and everyone rolls their eyes at).

 

In short I'm a very angry righteous know-it-all who deep down is a shy lil cinnamon roll that is a bit scared of other people.

[Cee]

Is this the part where I just offer to hug everyone?

[drosophila]

I think I'm Varric with a touch of Sera and Iron Bull.

Truth

[MayriyaNoori]

I know this may not sound possible.......but if I had to identify myself with some characters, this would be it.

 

I identify a lot with Cassandra......but I also have this place in my brain where it's a bit like Zevran. This perverted gutter that quite frequently says "I'd bang him."

 

So yeah...I guess imagine a perverted Cassandra and that's me. Warmer though, cause I'm a spirit of Cozy.

Are you my long lost sister, because I'm known for most of those things... well except the d*ck jokes, I mostly settle for dirty innuendos (*snort* inn u endo *waggles eyebrows*). 

 

I would say all in all I'm mostly Alistair with hints of Merrill and Solas (the nerdy parts of him anyway). 

 

I think the only thing I share with Anders is a deep and unending love of cats!

Oh my lookit those little cutie pies!!!!!!!  Now I need someone to redraw this adorable family as a Solavellan family :3  Papae Solas with his two wittle babies... IN ANOTHER WORLD I'M CRYING!

[MayriyaNoori]

That flash fiction thing on tumblr was fun btw, Drosophila. I'm actually sitting here thinking about turning that little thing I wrote into a full chapter later.

[Mlady]

I'm a mix of Cole, Cass (including my looks) and Varric with a bit of Solas and Sera.

It helped me loosen my brain up a bit. Though it was a trip back to the feels corner.

 

The funny thing is I first saw it after doing some goofy dancing around to fun music so it was like....woooosh, right to the feels corner.  Which isn't helping when my aim was to write fluff, but maybe it will help me do my other thing.

 

But first, I think, a walk.

[MayriyaNoori]

Okay, this legit has nothing to do with Solas, elves or anything DA for that matter.

 

This is just an insanely cute animal eating pumpkins.

 

Enjoy.
