grantaire with long hair and long coat is something that can be so personal
Soooooo after the new details that have been revealed about Veilguard, how do we all imagine a Solavellan reunion is going down? Trapped in the fade together? Lighthouse makeout sessions? A very sad mural dedicated to his Vhenan? My brain is infested with new headcanons.
That would be so epic and the Solavellan possibilities!!!
Fic idea: Clan Lavellan is wandering the Frostbacks until they come upon Skyhold. They decide to camp there for a while and after a bit, they start having nightmares. Seeking to combat the source of these nightmares, Keeper Deshanna sends her First to search the castle and root out the demons causing the bad dreams. Her resourceful First ends up coming upon an eluvian, which prompts Fen'Harel to reveal himself in the dreams of the entire clan, demanding that they not only vacate permanently, but leave behind their First. Reluctantly, they do.
The First is certain Fen'Harel will kill her, instead he gives her some tasks involving magic and various puzzles. After a few months, the Dread Wolf tells her that the next morning, an elf named Solas will appear in the courtyard. She is to accompany him to the Conclave at the Temple of Sacred Ashes and assist him.
me, incorrect: everyone is probably sick of me drawing this character by now...
my inner voice, wise: ah, but this cannot be... because I am part of "everyone"... and until I am sick of drawing them... it will not be everyone
me, opening a new blank canvas: ur so right
I chose to end the Inquisition in my canon world state, and even though it's been ten years since I first played Dragon Age: Inquisition I keep imagining my Inquisitor sitting alone at Skyhold. How long did it take for everyone to trickle out? How long did she last in Skyhold with all the reminders? Did she feel guilty letting everyone go or was a relief to no longer be the head of such an organisation? Did she stay there even after everyone left? How did it feel to leave her home (if she did leave, especially if her clan got massacred)?
I can imagine her sitting on her throne for the last time, or if she ended up alone at Skyhold just wandering the halls and rooms that are covered in big tapestries and sheets to protect what they had built. (Because for a lot of people Skyhold was home and they couldn't travel with all the furniture that filled the place.)
Just think about how lonely it must have been. Even if she wasn't alone, her friends were gone. We all know how the advisors and companions moved on and even though we had better see them all again, frankly some will be different and will have lives beyond the letters they write to the Inquisitor.
And I can imagine my girl being the last one there, afraid to leave the last momentos of Solas too. Just staring up at the murals. I can see her conviction coming in and feeling determined to stop Solas, or to find him again. But before that determination, she felt abandoned and betrayed and alone.
Just picture your Inquisitor curled up on the throne without anyone to even listen after the whole world used to pay attention.
I know us Solasmancers had the lonely balcony scene at the end of the base game, but think of the slow departures of her companions leaving Skyhold and the Inquisition. Sure they reunite in two years, but how much has changed? And in the ten years between Trespasser and Veilguard, don't get me started.
Basically, I'm emotional imagining my Lavellan all alone in such a big place. I know she leaves eventually and maybe she was never alone, but I'm sure she felt it nevertheless.
Day 6 - Loneliness
Solas and Lavellan making out in front of his fishes would heal me.
the agony is endless and i need veilguard out right now
Day 3 of #Veiltober - Fade Solas being a fool in the Fade. What an irony.
I really hope that they don't just gloss past Solas' relationship with the Inquisitor. Even if you didn't romance Solas, I want the Inquisitor to react to Solas and vice versa.
Obviously this desire for them to respond to each other and in what way is different for everyone; some are antagonistic for example and that's still valid. But I want them to eventually acknowledge the relationship between them. It's going to be hard to get the right dynamic for everyone since the world state is static, but somehow I hope we can get the relationship with Solas the way we all individually want it. After all, Solas should be a big part of the story.
I romanced him in my canon world and I'm a hopeless romantic, so I want to see Solas and Lavellan reconnect and maybe (hopefully) have a happy ending. I want to see them aged and hurting, but eventually get to the point where they can both welcome their love without it causing irreparable damage. Do I want to spice it with a little angst? Of course. Do I want a happy ending? Absolutely.
I guess TDLR I just want Solas and the Inquisitor to have scenes not just together, but to reply to each other. I want Rook to be so initially confused and then playing moderator between them (or match maker in my preferred scenario).
Day 4 of #Veiltober - Lucanis The perfect Disney princess, the Beauty and the Beast.
well… behold my attempt on “okay i’ll make a quick environmental sketch just for practice and i definitely won’t spend 16+ hours on it”
Veilguard had better be a game that I replay countless times to only romance one character and make all the same decisions over and over again.
Add a little bit of ✨spice✨and it's just angst, hurt without comfort, and trauma
My Inquisitor - Ofelia - didn’t cope well with Solas’s departure. She sought solace in her closest friends, Dorian and Cole, who did everything they could to support her through this difficult time. Yet, despite their efforts, even the finest wine could not heal the shattered heart that Solas had left behind in Skyhold.
