Right now this page counts 14 occurrences of "love". Seems like that's a thread for me.

 

Edit: The last page that is. *sigh*

The guy's name is Pride. He's in the Judas spot in that picture with all the party members. How much more obvious could he be, lol.

PLEASE, VHENAN!

Jokes on you, I already ship Judas/Jesus.

Someone recommended I join up on BSN and read the Elven Pantheon thread because it had discussion about Bacchic traditions and the "monstrous feminine" and I was like, "YES THAT IS MY DIG BRO"

 

I'm going to stay for Judas x Jesus OTP.

Thou haste not to inform me a second time.

 

(I am really sorry but I could not google anything sensible in Old English... You wouldn't by any chance be swayed by Old High German?)

Satan's Soliloquy to the Sun, From Book IV of Paradise Lost.

 

So, so good. 

 

Spoilered for length.

[Context: This is when Satan first beholds Eden. He speaks to God (the Sun) and allows himself to feel the immensity of what was lost. But he has chosen his course and praises his freewill and vows to never submit. When he says "Evil be thou my good," I get shivers. Every time. It's long. I bolded particularly resonant parts for the TLDR crowd. No, I don't think Solas = Satan. Solas is not cool enough. Also the hyperlinks reference an online resource that is pretty good. I don't know what happened with the formatting. I failed.]

 

 

O thou that with surpassing Glory crownd,
Look'st from thy sole Dominion like the God
Of this new World; at whose sight all the Starrs
Hide thir diminisht heads; to thee I call, [ 35 ]
But with no friendly voice, and add thy name
O Sun, to tell thee how I hate thy beams
That bring to my remembrance from what state
I fell, how glorious once above thy Spheare; 
Till Pride and worse Ambition threw me down [ 40 ]
Warring in Heav'n against Heav'ns matchless King:
Ah wherefore! he deservd no such return
From me, whom he created what I was 
In that bright eminence, and with his good
Upbraided none; nor was his service hard. [ 45 ]
What could be less then to afford him praise,
The easiest recompence, and pay him thanks,
How due! yet all his good prov'd ill in me,
And wrought but malice; lifted up so high
I disdained subjection, and thought one step higher [ 50 ]
Would set me highest, and in a moment quit
The debt immense of endless gratitude,
So burthensome, still paying, still to ow;
Forgetful what from him I still receivd,
And understood not that a grateful mind [ 55 ]
By owing owes not, but still pays, at once
Indebted and dischargd; what burden then?
O had his powerful Destiny ordaind
Me some inferiour Angel, I had stood
Then happie; no unbounded hope had rais'd [ 60 ]
Ambition. Yet why not? som other Power
As great might have aspir'd, and me though mean
Drawn to his part; but other Powers as great
Fell not, but stand unshak'n, from within
Or from without, to all temptations arm'd. [ 65 ]
Hadst thou the same free Will and Power to stand?
Thou hadst: whom hast thou then or what to accuse,
But Heav'ns free Love dealt equally to all?
Be then his Love accurst, since love or hate,
To me alike, it deals eternal woe. [ 70 ]
Nay curs'd be thou; since against his thy will
Chose freely what it now so justly rues. 
Me miserable! which way shall I flie
Infinite wrauth, and infinite despaire?
Which way I flie is Hell; my self am Hell; [ 75 ]
And in the lowest deep a lower deep
Still threatning to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heav'n.
O then at last relent: is there no place
Left for Repentance, none for Pardon left? [ 80 ]
None left but by submission; and that word
Disdain forbids me, and my dread of shame
Among the Spirits beneath, whom I seduc'd
With other promises and other vaunts
Then to submit, boasting I could subdue [ 85 ]
Th' Omnipotent. Ay me, they little know
How dearly I abide that boast so vaine,
Under what torments inwardly I groane:
While they adore me on the Throne of Hell,
With Diadem and Sceptre high advanc'd [ 90 ]
The lower still I fall, onely Supream
In miserie; such joy Ambition findes.
But say I could repent and could obtaine
By Act of Grace my former state; how soon
Would higth recall high thoughts, how soon unsay [ 95 ]
What feign'd submission swore: ease would recant
Vows made in pain, as violent and void.
For never can true reconcilement grow
Where wounds of deadly hate have peirc'd so deep:
Which would but lead me to a worse relapse [ 100 ]
And heavier fall: so should I purchase deare
Short intermission bought with double smart.
This knows my punisher; therefore as farr
From granting hee, as I from begging peace:
All hope excluded thus, behold in stead [ 105 ]
Of us out-cast, exil'd, his new delight,
Mankind created, and for him this World.
So farewel Hope, and with Hope farewel Fear,
Farewel Remorse: all Good to me is lost;
Evil be thou my Good; by thee at least [ 110 ]
Divided Empire with Heav'ns King I hold
By thee, and more then half perhaps will reigne;
As Man ere long, and this new World shall know.

 

Thus while he spake, each passion dimm'd his face
Thrice chang'd with pale, ire, envie and despair, [ 115 ]
Which marrd his borrow'd visage, and betraid
Him counterfet, if any eye beheld.

 

Arghh. Stop being my people, you guys, I can't even handle it. I was seriously just thinking about how "our puissance is our own/ Our own right hand shall teach us highest deeds." was the most Solas line ever (don't make the mistake of placing your accomplishments in other people's hands [paraphrasing heavily his post-well dialogue] etc. etc.).

 

Now I return to lurking through the rest of the thread.

[Kestrel]

It's almost too bad Solas wasn't the Dread Cormorant, though that doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Actually he's not in Judas' spot. Here's Leonardo's The Last Supper: 
 

 

Here's the positioning of the disciples in the picture:

 

 

Judas is third from left. Here's the Bioware version:

 

 

Solas is second to the left, in St Peter's space, not third. Further, if you compare the profiles of Solas to that of St Peter they match, likewise, it is Varric's profile that most resembles that of Judas.

 

What does this mean? Probably not much, but it's enough to say that Solas is not in the Judas spot, Varric resembles Judas far more than Solas does and presumably this could be a reference to him keeping quiet on Hawke's whereabouts and his relationship with Bianca.

The guy in the middle is Jesus I'm fairly certain. Other than that I have no idea.

Well, Peter's just leaning in. If we go by seating arrangement, it works.

You're having a real good day today, huh?

[Sable Rhapsody]

Depending on how we count the people (by head or by seating arrangement), Solas is either Judas or Peter.  So...Tower!Tarot Solas is Judas, and Hierophant!Tarot Solas is Peter?

I mean, cormorants have stank attitudes, just like Solas (bby I love you but you got a stank attitude). And people tend to be like "they're just a bird what could go wrong" but the tips of their bills are these really vicious curved hooks and at the wildlife rescue we actually had to wear the heavy duty gloves you wear for hawks and owls and eagles to handle cormorants because of that. And Solas is a little bald elf man, so I guess people could underestimate that too.
