If She’s Your Girl Why Is She Drenched In My Blood 

this is from march 😓😓

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

“…But the hedge mage…What do we truly know of him?”

*playing twister* Felassan: Right hand red. Rook: *ends up on top of Solas* Solas: You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Felassan: I stopped spinning like 15 minutes ago. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't notice.

I'm in your walls.

Leave me alone😭

Imagine a young, "hot blooded and cocky" always ready for a fight Solas, who enjoys courtly intrigue, scandal and sex, meeting inquisitor Lavellen who gets time travelled back to ancient arlathan in the height of it's glory after his future self leaves her. The angst. The drama. Lavellen trying to stay away from him and him making it impossible once intrigued. Fen harel falling for her again but for the first time and not remembering it until she's back in the present. I need 20 fics of this stat.

Literally the only time he smiles UNIRONICALLY the entire damn game.

He only ever smiles around Lavellan 💜

BONUS:

it's been a decade and i still can't believe that charmingly-spoken unassuming recluse i took a shine to turned out to be..... (gestures)

The future of the Veil

Since there may not be another game, I guess it's up to us to imagine what might happen with the Veil in the future. I've seen suggestions that maybe Solas (and Lavellan, if they're together) might be able to bring the Veil down very slowly and gradually over time, without harming anyone. And I do like that idea! But I also like the idea that the Veil stays up, and instead of taking it down Solas (maybe working with Lavellan) finds ways to transform it; so that rather than being a wound on the world, it becomes truly a way of protecting the vulnerable. Maybe the Veil can be changed so that it is easier for friendly spirits who want to join the physical world to pass through. But meanwhile the most vulnerable spirits are still safe behind the Veil, protected from those who would harm them. The Veil becomes the reason why no spirit will ever again be forced into physical form or twisted against its purpose, so mages can no longer do to spirits what Mythal did to Solas himself all those years ago. Maybe the Veil can be changed so that magic can pass through more easily, allowing some of the ancient magics to be reawakened. But meanwhile the Veil still prevents any individual mage from drawing too much power, so no mage will ever again gather the kind of power that the Evanuris had. Maybe the Veil can be changed so that over time it's easier to access the power of the Fade, and therefore mages become more commom and prejudice against mages decreases. And meanwhile the enchantments on the Veil have been changed to protect the spirits passing through it, so mages are no longer at risk of demon possession, and they can work peacefully with spirits as the Nevarrans and Rivaini seers do. Obviously, I have no idea how any of this would work or whether it's possible within the lore! But we can imagine whatever future we want. After all, despite everything the Veil was clearly an incredible feat of magical skill and power: I like the idea that one day Solas will look back, and instead of seeing the Veil as just another regret, he will think of it as his life's work and his great gift to the people of Thedas.
