Wow, I missed most of that. Which is probably a good thing 
I'm out of likes for the night so you all get hearts instead.Especially Eggcrusher. 
I managed to actually write 700 words tonight and I think I have my opening chapter for my NaNo fic. Now I just need to resist the urge to edit it!
I translated some of the daedric, the little runes are too hard to see and now the servers have gone down so I can't check:
I'm so excited by these things 
. It's a portal to Vaermina's realm, the daedric prince of nightmares. That Orc in the middle was possessed by a daedra and as soon as he left the binding the daeda would kill him.
Solas never said that he's doing this because the world is hell and it's dying. Everything so far has point to him saying that he needed to do this for the Elvhen. I mean, I can put myself in his shoes, but there is empathy and there is being "objective" for the lack of a better word. The things he has done and are planning to do are not any less horrible because he has good intentions or because he felt he had no other choice.
Edit: Anyway, I am going to sleep.
Not Solas, me as the PC sees and understands that the world needs a major cleansing and Solas sees it as a mistake that must be fixed. As he says to a hated Inquisitor, it's not their fault they are what they are, it's his fault.
I should clarify I don't see him as a betrayer, but I don't think what he did was right, but I can understand his reasons.
Me too. Good debate!
No I get what you mean, but Solas never said he would be by your side forever. Never promised his loyalty eternally. He simply said he was there to stop this and that was that and when it was over he would not forget what everyone did. I guess when I think of betrayal, I think of an un-hardened Alistair saying he will be with you forever, then because you are not a noble, he dumps you and takes the crown.
Well we're really going to bump heads on this one because I think Alistair's betrayal is a lot more mild than Solas's and not just because Solas's is literally world changing. Alistair didn't want to be king, he showed you on multiple occasions that he didn't like having to lead and he wasn't cut out to make leadership decisions. You chose to make him king against his wishes, for the *greater good, yes, but then Alistair broke up with you for the greater good. He was doing what he thought was necessary just like you did what you though was necessary.
It was very a**holey of him to do it in front of your companions though.
*I hate the greater good -.-
Now when I talk of Solas's betrayal I don't just mean as a romanced Inquisitor, this goes for anyone, even the dislike Inquisitor as much as a stretch that might seem. You were the leader of the Inquisition, he was working under you, something he did so that his goals could be met. You could of been his friend, and even his lover. He made people believe he was someone he was not, he kept things from you, he planted spies in you Inquisition. There are certain unsaid things in any relationship. I imagine an important one is "I will not one day break up with you out of the blue before leaving only to show up years later and reveal my plans to destroy the world... and take your arm." just because your significant other doesn't articulate this to you doesn't mean if he does it it isn't a betrayal. Some things go without being said. The other doesn't even have to be signification for that action to be a betrayal. Any type of radical, contradictory, unexpected action in any type of relationship can be a betrayal of said relationship. You really shouldn't have to ask your partner or friend if they plan to one day commit mass genocide and destroy everything you know and love. You just expect them not to.
Not everything has to be spelt out and spoken. There are implicit social rules about what constitutes friendship, a romantic relationship, etc.
It doesn't matter what he intended. It matters what he did. No one is saying that the betrayal makes him a horrible unredeemable person.
You are reading my mind Eivuwan!
I just think betrayal is not the right word. I would say he mislead and probably out of fear. Perfect proof is when he expects you to recoil in horror at romancing the Dread Wolf and you can shout at him that you wanted him to trust you. His silent reaction basically says he goofed big time.
Betrayal is a harsh word, but Solas's actions were harsh. I get where you're coming from, I love Solas, but I appreciate all sides of his character, even the bad parts which are as much a part of him as the good.
His goal all along was to bring down the veil and destroy this world in order to restore/save the ancient elves. Having to stop Corypheus was just a hiccup in his overall plans. The Hush Whispers quest is not a good comparison because there is a difference between actively killing a bunch of people and causing a reality to never have existed. I am not saying that Solas is evil, but let's not gloss over the severity of what he has done and what he is planning to do.
So much this! Sometimes I feel like people are too willing to do just that. Recognizing his actions for what they are doesn't mean we dislike him and even if his actions are justifiable it does not automatically make them any less terrible.
Personally I really can't handle smut, especially when there is a dom!character that takes control. It makes me scared, and extremely uncomfortable.
All this dominate smut talk is kind of making me have a bit of anxiety. I'm not saying it's anyone's fault, but I'm extremely sensitive to it, as well as have been having a mental imbalance lately where my emotions fling from one side of the spectrum to the other from nothing much.
I might leave the thread for a bit. I'm not good at handling things like this (and it's not even that bad x-x)
While it doesn't make me uncomfortable I do kind of wish the smut talk could be kept to the smut thread.
Sorry guys.
I agree and I have apologized. I didn't mean to stir that kind of talk, I was just not clear in pointing out I was refering to purely spiritual part of the relationship. My bad, really.
'People say he's a dreamer, but he's not the only one. He'll tear the veil asunder, and the worrrrrllld will burn as one'. My apologies to John Lennon, but for some reason I felt compelled to write that after reading this thread. Solas knows a great deal, he just conceals what he knows from everyone else.
I sneakily Drew my husband's character Dori (the Dwarf, can you tell?). Then woke him up cause I couldn't wait; he was happy to see his first character art .
This one only took me four hours. It's like the faster I work and less expectations I have the more pleased I end up with the result.
Hey guys, I'm back with the living - so to speak. Didn't have much time on my hands the last couple of weeks cause I had to study for an exam, which I had to take today. The final exam (aside from the bachelor thesis) for my studies, hooray! 
I have an okay feeling about it, didn't know everything, but most of it. Four pages of questions regarding copyright law and digital rights management. I'm exhausted.
I tried to keep up with the thread but that's impossible with you people. ^^ I did throw around my likes here and there though, there were some great and funny and thoughtful posts made while I was gone.
And now I have to get some hot chocolate. I need that now.

That sounds like a tough exam. Congrats on being done! Best of luck with getting done the thesis.

That's sort of it with creative expression, isn't it? The more we don't think about it and just do it, sometimes that gives us no time for the critical voice inside our heads to make us worry and doubtful.
It's also an added bonus when you make someone happy with it.
Came out great, btw.
Good morning. I come bearing this gif that must never be forgotten.
Solas 
Must go back to editing.

*sneaks into chapter, prepared with hugs*
That's a damn good combination!

ALSO I only realised today when I googled it that drosophila is a type of fly. I feel like a complete idiot now, that makes so much sense.
do you also exclaim 'BY THE DREAD WOLF' whenever you get into a fight? because that would make my life.
(I just wanted an excuse to post lots of merrill pics)
"Elgar'nan, six years in this palce and I can't fix the holes in the roof!"
*sneaks into chapter, prepared with hugs*
Thank you, sensei. I'm somehow out of likes but many hearts
Edit: Top Solas. http://solas-an.tumblr.com/
According to this quiz I most identify with Fenris. And yes I can see it. I hide behind my wit, but really I prefer to be alone. (this branching out into the forum is not my usual way. I'm the quiet one at the party going, why am I even here?) But another quiz says I'm more like Wynne and a third like Cole, so hmmmm what a strange mix
http://www.playbuzz....mpanion-are-you
I got Leliana in that quiz.
Thank you, sensei. I'm somehow out of likes but many hearts
I'm just going to keep being prepared with hugs both as you write this and for when you're done, since it seems they will be needed. For Sophia, for readers, for you, we'll see.

Well, the end is a long way away. But I will probably needs hugs when that happens.
Holy crap, I just realized that at some point her story will end and it made me hurt and panic.
Yeah, I'll need a hug eventually.
And I always have hugs available for Nirwen. But she's in much better company 
Which DA:I Companion Are You?Found a DAI one and surprise, I got Cole.

Cole by far and then Solas - Dorian - Cassandra all tied for second.
I didn't even game it. Even though some of the responses were clearly Cole-oriented, they were also true.
Your results for this quiz have been calculated and are presented below:
You got Solas! You can be curious, and can go on for hours about your favorite things. Sometimes fiction and history can feel more real than the mundane things happening around you. Interacting with people does not always come easy, but you form very strong relationships with those who get to know you. You try to be polite most of the time, if not necessarily warm, but when pushed your temper is something to behold.

I like seeing Solas' reaction better from the front, but Sera's adorable reaction and wearing that armor
