Sleeping Beauty But Make Is Solavellan

Sleeping Beauty but make is Solavellan

okay bear with me here but i went to illinois last week and one part of the experience has stuck with me

this is, of course, ignoring things like current weather, time of day, your current ability to physically go outside, etc…. answer based on what you consider would be your optimal mountain viewing conditions on a day to day basis 👍

we keep our secrets high up in the lighthouse

Came across some really interesting Solas banter while exploring the Emerald Graves. Its environmental banter (I got it at Elgarnan's Bastion but not sure if its specific to that region).

"My people built a life here...it must have been something to see."

Because the Emerald Graves are from the period when the Dales were an independent elven state. Very much post-Elvhenan. And granted, this is still a long time in the past. But it is still closer to modern times than it is to the fall of Elvhenan.

Solas is very particular about when he calls modern elves 'his people', and he doesn't associate 'his people' with the Dalish. But he does here. And I wonder if this is part of his realisation that modern people are real...

The way he phrases it, there almost seems to be a hint of pride there, proud of what the people of the Dales were able to do. I wonder if it reminds him of the fight he led for freedom and autonomy of all. And maybe he can see some of his past in their struggle for an autonomous nation, in their bitter fight for what they believed in, even if it ended in ruin...

His gaze softened and he sat on the bed, pulling her into his arms. Just from that simple action, it was as though she had learned how to speak again. “Don’t leave me now Solas. I can’t loose you again. I want you- I want you to stay here with me. Please vhenan. Please.”

I know it's weird the first time you do it, but like

meet your online friends in real life

make those travel arrangements

drive that distance, stay with each other

we're not 11 years old talking to strangers. we are adults in voice chats daily, or video chats, or regular game groups, and we're friends. we're pen pals and ride or die homies and like

it's so worth it

most of the time you can do the same things you do online, in person! sit in the same room and game, or quietly write, or maybe even better you can relocate to a local area together and do what you normally do, there

I just think it's so beautiful and I'm so excited to have met so many of my online friends and to host them or be hosted by them and it makes me so happy to see them go on and make plans to meet more friends! it is so lovely so so lovely

like! does your heart not just burst at the thought of all these ride or die friends who have cried on voice chat with each other and poured their hearts out, and grown together, finally finally finally hugging with flesh and blood arms????!!

there is joy in this world and solidarity and human connection and it can sit on a couch with you!?!
