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).

Now that we're getting closer to release day, I'm curious who people intend to romance in Veilguard. I wonder if it's changed for people as more information has been released.

This had probably been said before, but I think we need to be prepared for more solavellan pain before it gets better. Hopefully it'll all be in Veilguard, but I expect that the reconciliation won't be quick. It's been twelve years since Solas left Lavellan, and ten since she discovered he's the Dreadwolf. All those years feeling abandoned, feeling not worthy, letting the emotions stew. In many ways I don't think Lavellan will know what to think right away. There will some semblance of relief but there will also be anger and exhaustion and sadness.

Even when (if???) they reconcile, there's a lot of trauma to unpack.

Hopefully it's not too late for these two and we get that happy ending we're looking for.

"is This Another Dream, Solas?"

"is this another dream, Solas?"

"No, vhenan. I'm here, and I will never let you go again."

Bioware I am begging you for the reunion 🥺💔 (If you want to see the spicy version, it's up on the bird app)

“I keep having this dream, that Solas has come back, the mark is gone, and we’re just… happy. And when I wake, I wonder if it’s him, reaching out to me through the fade and trying to apologize the only way he knows how.”

Okay but guys imagine all of the wonderful angsty Solavellan banter we can get between Rook and Solas

Rook: *interacts with a picture Solas painted, a poem, etc.*

Rook: Cute. So who’s the lucky lady?

Solas: Please refrain. Those are personal.

Rook: Oooh, the dread wolf has a private diary? A secret love life?

Solas: My “love life” is no business but my own.

Rook: I hate to break it to you, but it’s going to be reallly hard to not be in each other’s business for the foreseeable future.

Rook: Sooo, I have to ask.. are the rumors true? That you were interested in the inquisitor?

Solas: No. That is insulting.

Solas: I am in love with her.

Rook: “in”? As in, currently?

Solas: …I would prefer if we do not discuss the matter further.

Rook: *flirts with a companion*

Solas: Is that your attempt at entering a courtship?

Rook: Oi, butt out of it. What would you know about romance, anyway?

Solas: More than you, it seems.

Rook: *in an argument with a romanced partner*

Solas: You should make amends.

Rook: I did nothing wrong!!

Solas: Perhaps you feel that way currently. But you must ask yourself if losing what you have in the long run is worth this stubbornness. Do not allow love to become regret.

Rook: I honestly think this Inquisitor lady is blown way out of proportion. I doubt she’ll live up to the stories.

Solas: Do not insult Lady Lavellan. She is a kind and generous spirit that is rare to find in this world. Her bravery and selflessness are unlike any I have ever witnessed in my lifetime.

Rook: Ha! Gotcha! You DO still love her!

Manifesting more Solavellan Banter in Da4

/Part 1/

Rook: Soooo… the “dread wolf” huh? Is that literal?

Solas: I can manifest as a wolf if necessary, yes.

Rook: So, do you have anything to do with that wolf the Inquisitor keeps seeing in her dreams, perchance?

Solas: … if you have any questions that pertain to the mission at hand, I would be happy to answer those.

Rook: Solas, tell me— is the Inquisitor as beautiful as she is depicted in the paintings?

Solas: That depends. Which paintings do you refer to?

Rook: uuuuh. Yours I guess?

Solas: Hm.

Solas: No. Despite my best attempts, I could not come close to replicating her beauty. My frescos are mere candles to a blazing fire by comparison.

Rook: aww, that’s actually so sweet.

Varric: Hey, Is Chuckles there right now?

Rook: Yeah, why?

Varric: He can hear me?

Rook: Yes..?

Varric: Good. I just want him to know that, to celebrate defeating Corypheus, the Inquisitor had some special frilly cakes ordered. And they went cold and stale.

Solas: …

Rook: Um, okay???

Solas: To see a live griffon… What an incredible and magnificent creature. I wonder what it would be like to mount one.

Rook: I bet that’s not the only thing you wonder about mounting ¬‿¬

Solas: *Sighs* I suppose I should have seen that one coming.

Varric: Hey, Fen’Harel! Question for you.

Rook: He’s listening.

Solas: *Sighs* I suspect this is not going to be related to our progress, nor the veilguard.

Varric: Does time feel different to you than it does for all us mortals? Because for us, two years is a long time.

Rook: What’s he talking about?

Solas: I suspect the fact that I did not see anyone from the Inquisition for a period of two years after the fall of Corypheus.

Varric: And yet, she waited. All. That. Time. She deserved some kind of answer. And instead, all she got was another broken promise, and lost a limb.

Solas. …ah. I see what this is about.

Rook: Care to fill me in??

Solas: …Another one of my many, many mistakes.

Rook: So, Solas, you were at the Winter Palace with the Inquisition, right?

Solas: Indeed, the Inner Circle assisted *insert user choice result of Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts*

Rook: Right, that. I’ve seen paintings of that night, and there’s always an elf…

Solas: *sighs*

Rook: …wearing a funny hat….

Solas: … What is your question?

Rook: That WAS you? Ha!! What was up with the hat??

Rook: Solas? Solas! Hey! This is an important question!!

If you want more Solavellan banter @lillotte17 has some here :)

Ar Lath, Ma Vhenan. So Why Does Solas Look So Upset?

“Ar lath, ma vhenan.” So why does Solas look so upset?

While replaying the balcony scene, I used the flycam to follow Solas and see what, if any, reaction he has to starting up with Lavellan as he walks away. 

I mean, this is a big moment of personal growth for Solas, right? He’s decided to allow himself some modicum of happiness. Usually, when people confess their love for somebody and find that love returned, they are happy. 

When the scene plays, the Inquisitor cannot see Solas’ expression and neither can the player (unless they have flycam). So all I was expecting was, at most, Solas’ neutral expression that he wears when nothing is happening. And for the record, this is what Solas looks like when there’s nothing going on:

Ar Lath, Ma Vhenan. So Why Does Solas Look So Upset?

(Note to self: send thank you card to Bioware for another game with all that elven eye candy. And human eye candy. And Qunari eye candy if you’re into that sort of thing. But I won’t thank Bioware for dwarven eye candy because there isn’t any–again–and I cannot romance Varric–again. Actually, I’m not going to send Bioware a goddamn thing.)

Anywhore, whatever I was expecting, it was not this: 

Ar Lath, Ma Vhenan. So Why Does Solas Look So Upset?

He looks like he’s about to cry. 

That’s how fucked up it is for those of us in Solavellan hell. Our Inquisitor has chosen a man who, from the very beginning of the affair, is already grieving its loss.
