BioWare posted this dreadpuppy sticker in their Discord and I had to rush to draw the dreadpuppy
Epilogue
Fade Couple
[needed to do more...] [part 1]
Me, Watching Solas' regrets: 15/10 š„°š„¹š¢š *trying to process theories being made canon and him being the saddest boy alive for a reason*
The Companions: *having the most reddit fuckass takes and the worst comedic timing* Solas is just mean and cares about no one but himself
Me: š¤«ā¹ļøšš”Can ya'll shutup for a moment? I need a mod to remove these conversations in particular
Wolf in mageās clothing ā Well, that took long. But, I made it. I hope you like it as much as I do ~
Not sure if this was already discussed but If it was a romanced Lavellan instead of Varric trying to stop him, would Solas be able to harm or kill her like he did Varric?
hehehehehehehehehehehheehhehhehehehhehehehehhehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehhohoohohohohohohohohohohohohohoohohohohoho........ yes.
i love that you asked me this. yes i think he would kill her. i think he would fundamentally be a different character if he did not. the entire point of solas and his struggle is that he will do anything and kill anyone to atone. he believes that righting the world is more important and will never ever put his personal desires over the good of the People
the pain of one man is insignificant weighed against the endless depths of existence. that includes his grief over felassan, over varric, over mythal herself, and it would be true with lavellan. if she were somehow different, the plot would not exist and he would have just actually abandoned his duty in crestwood and stayed with her... "AS HE WANTED." but what he wants is irrelevant. he is only free from his duty when when mythal releases him from his guilt and shares his responsibility for his sins. the burden then becomes just light enough that he can remove it from his shoulders and set it aside. (he should have brought down the veil though). HOWEVER i will say that i think killing her would probably turn him into a literal pride demon. it would be a point of no-return. i do not think he would be able to live with himself for long either. actually the ultimate shakesperean tragedy solavellan ending would be him killing her for trying to stop him from tearing down the veil, tearing it down (while sobbing), and then immediately killing himself once his duty is fulfilled. damn can you imagine if they did that. anyway in conclusion i leave you with quotes as is becoming customary for me
"the elves needed a win so we made them a monolith by erasing city elves from the narrative so that only the dalish matter & also had them embrace the Ultimate Truth of their deities being evil mages so that none of them are swayed because certainly nobody would want to follow an evil person" is not the good idea these execs thought it was
Hey fandom mom, would you also draw dwarves?
ffmmf fandom mom oh my god ;; yes of course!! wait I drew some Solas and Cadash ages ago and never posted it here, here you go

Well,Ā heĀ hadĀ you
AndĀ IĀ supposeĀ IĀ hadĀ you
Like...everyone unquestioningly parrotting the 'god of lies' thing like that isn't strongly implied to be Evanuris propaganda?
Reason 1: he's not a god. None of them are. They just declared themselves that.
Reason 2: there's a codex entry in the Vir Dirthara section of Trespasser which talks about Solas going among the people in disguise and persuading them to his point of view and how this is lies and corruption...except he's currently running a slave rebellion.
Depending on the story indeed...such as the stories of slave owning megalomaniacal mages who wanted those who might potentially sympathise with Solas to distrust him?
And you all fell for it.
