If California was like how it is in the movies, I'd be skinny, rich, and much closer to the beach than I actually am. Movies and TV don't portray any state realistically.
But back to Solas. Apparently he is neither Dalish or a city elf. Which group do you think he'll identify with more?

Solas reminds me a bit of Aneirin. Not attaching himself to any particular group, but on the fringes of the group that would accept him best and let him be as he wished. I don't think that would be so easy with the city elves.
Except for Portlandia. Man, that show really nails us!
Hmmm I've never seen that show but that's good. I don't watch tv a lot like I used to but have ya'll seen Honey Boo Boo...that show is an embarrassment to us in the south. 
I know that was OT everybody so have some Solas:
So probably the Dalish? I can see that, but I don't he'll be the type to ever join a clan or anything.
I don't know why but I don't see him as either. I think of him like Davy Crocket-- a wandering frontiersman, living off the land. I hope he's a little earthy like the kind who gives thanks to the mother earth and what not but doesn't really impose his views on everyone. After all, "It's more complicated than that!"

Carrie Brownstein (one half of the show Portlandia), once called Portland a rather "curated city". *chuckle* I personally nodded and agreed. 
I almost wanted to say Solas is a new kind of elves (culture wise) that is very rare.
SOLAS!!!!!........................wears pants. *relevant info, is relevant. To the Solas Thread.*
Well, I wouldn't exactly complain if he didn't wear pants. *dumps cold water on head*
[slow blink]
Those last few page... wow.
Goin' off the rails on a crazy train, thread??
Anyway, now that I think I can make sense of things and keep up again...
I just caught up on the romance thread. That was kind of a scary place for awhile. I know the distribution of LIs isn't going to be equal, unless they pull out a secret LI, but they keep going over the same thing over and over again. I think I'll hide after they reveal the final LI. I'm sure things will be heated like it was with the Solas reveal.
Uff. I was lurking there for a while because, I dunno, I was feeling depressed and masochistic, I guess. 
But yeah, after the same thing had been said for about the fiftieth time I gave up on it. I just really want this blog to go up and get it over with... I'm hoping it's The Chart™ because it's kind of incredibly needed rn. It's not going to be even, again, and that sucks. I feel like if at least people could see the developmental reasons that might help. It wouldn't make it suck any less, no, but it might reassure some people to know that it wasn't done just to screw them, you know?? I don't know. What a mess this whole thing has been...

Ohhhhh. Nothing makes me love someone faster than a respect for the elements, hah. If I see him doing that I'll just be like, "YOU. ME. ...SNUGGLES. NOW."
But I can't really picture him fitting in with either, myself. I mean, definitely not city elves... They live under Andrastanism and that doesn't exactly go well with magic, yeah?? And I think they're more the type to stick to what they know and keep their heads down than to go out on a limb for something. For good reason, of course, but still. I don't imagine he'd find one that was interested in anything he had to say...
The Dalish, on the other hand, would probably be a better fit because of their care for things like magic and history... but they also have a pretty set and structured way of doing things. I imagine after spending most of your life alone you're used to doing what you want, when you want, so being suddenly beset by a whole bunch of rules and traditions would probably be fairly jarring.
But of course, he's shocked the s*** out of me before, so what do I know. Watch him go up to both groups and instantly be BFFs, pfft. 
edit: because wow, those typos. fingers what were you doing??

...Hahah. Well, damn. Mostly I was just making fun of my past self for her horribly inaccurate predictions, but when you put it that way...
Mohawk ponytail, of course (may it rest in peace)
I prefer to think of it as a "Warrior's Wolftail":
Sorry. I'm usually a huge lurker -- but seeing as I can only hit "refresh" so many times across this forum, the main page, twitter, and the subreddit -- I figured I should try getting involved to channel my excitement! Even if right now it's just making references to other fandoms. :/

There's always kilts. We could do kilts.
Wait, no, what am I saying. It's taken this long for mages to start wearing trousers, we should let them be. 
Honestly? Neither. I think he'll be too wild for the CE, and too other for the Dalish. I mean, I guess, of the two, probably Dalish, I'd think, because of his time spent in the forests. But, then again, he did grow up in a small village....

EQUALITY FOR MAGES.
FREEDOM!
SAFETY!
PANTS.
Not sure if Anders put that in the manifesto, though. He seemed fond of robes in Awakening.
What do you guys hope his romance will be like? u7u
I'm totally not procrastinating on HW, of course not.
I really want his to be romantic and soft...like holding hands and I love you's. Maybe start of slowly because they are both not very versed in courting or flirting, or maybe Solas will surprise us and be very direct and take matters into his own hands! I just hope we can answer more shyly. 
I wanna roleplay Raina as being generally confident but totally shy and dorky at romance.
It was a bit awkward at times in DA2.
Hi Solas thread! Longtime lurker here, again. (Posting to the forums twice in one night, nailed it!). Just wanted to say you guys are awesome and I'm happy to have an outlet to ~sqee~ about Dragon Age while most of the people in my neck of the woods are passed out asleep and frankly quite tired of my not shutting up about this game. (Seriously tired.) I've kind have been going on alternating Companion Obsession of the Week binges, and what the latest news-drop about Solas I rounded back to him and ended up having dangerous ponderings about his whole... Fade mastery thing:
~~~
So, from what I've read from Weeke's interview Solas is a... dreamer/somniari-esque mage? What with his 'lucid dreaming' and all. Remembering Feynriel from Dragon Age 2 and the various abilities of his powers (whether in his possessed form or after training in Tevinter), Feynriel was able to basically communicate with others across some impressive distances through their dreams. Oh, and pretty much kill people in them -- or convince them to kill each other? (I will admit it's been awhile since my last playthrough and the quest specifics are blurry. Not helped from me typing in my late hour 'stream of consciousness' mode.)
So, what with Solas' strong connections to and knowledge of the fade (and his special little 'dreaming' bit), I can't help but overanalyze wonder if he could theoretically possess similar capabilities as well? Like, not just interact with the memories of culture and people long past, but also with the memories/dreams of people currently present (and alive! for now.)? People alive and sleeping in their beds -- maybe just a few doors or towers down in Skyhold, even.
First off: wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have SUPER SECRET dream communications/conversations?
(Putting in Spoiler for incoherent, pretty-much unedited babbling and general devolution from whatever my initial point was supposed to be.)
And that whole entire post really just got away from me. Sorry, it's probably horrible to read/follow -- honestly, I'd just skim it. In lieu of wasting tiem away clicking the "refresh" button so darn much, I've turned to imagining how to use the games' characters like my Inquisitions personal Swiss Army knives... with abilities Solas probably doesn't have in the first place. (or does he????)
What do you guys hope his romance will be like? u7u
I'm hoping its romantic, intense, and thought provoking. I want my Lavellan to listen to his magical theories and dream together with him and have him expand her horizons, show her a whole new world. I guess I hope it loosely plays out like Aladdin
Solas Fade Music Box made by me
