Simping for the villain

18+ MDNI. Multi-fandom. If they are masked or the villain, I'm probably into them. Angst and tragic lovers are my jam. Occassionally writes fanfic.

attempting smth above my skill level 😌

Yeah, the problem with the idea that the appeal of the Solas romance is that he's a god etc is that I romanced him on release of Inquisition before I knew anything about that. I romanced him because he talked to me about esoteric magic in a smooth Welsh accent and then decided to kiss my Lavellan like she was a feast and he was a starving man. Honestly the god stuff was fun, but it's not the thing I originally found appealing.

Shant elaborate

[thebaldursmouthgazette]

Shall elaborate:

- First bit of context to this is that it was pretty common at the time for alamarri humans and dwarves to marry and have children so there is a very significant chance that andraste is part dwarf

- Second bit of context is that sandal is believed to be a half dwarf Aeducan bastard, and he has clearly communed with a titan so you don’t have to be 100% dwarf to commune with a titan

- So with that in mind, the following screenshots are of the chant of light:

- The entity known as “The Maker” answered andrastes “call” while she was on a mountain

- The maker is described as “greater than mountains”

- The maker is referred to as the “wellspring of all”. The wellspring is the name of the location in the descent that the heart of the titan is in. The Slaughter of the Pillars revenant (the pillars being what the elves called the titans) in veilguard says “a wellspring drained”

- The makers children are “in darkness unbroken” and “shrouded in night”. The dwarves used to live above ground but fled underground when the titans were sundered. Similar language is used later in the chant to describe the magisters in the deep roads

- This is very similar to a vision Dagna has relating to the titans of being very very big

- Per The Calling where this is quoted, in this part of the chant the Maker has taken Andraste to a pool deep within the earth. Maric quotes it upon finding a similar pool. We now know these pools are locations deep within the body of a titan

- In an overheard conversation in Veilguard, Ghilan’nain mentions that in their prison she dreamed of “the songs of the living abyss”. The titans are the abyss.

- This is a vision Kordillus Drakon has, of Andraste telling him this on behalf of the maker. There were several drafts and I thing the full thing is a misunderstood prediction of the events of veilguard, but the important thing here is that there is a huge amount of respect for the titans, and very little for solas, which doesn’t work if the maker is an elven god (if Mythal, it would be the opposite, if any other, it would be disrespect for both) but does work if it’s a titan.

- The maker “called” Andraste

- I mean this one speaks for itself

I’ve discussed before my theories about Andraste being an OGB of Dumat and I still think that’s true and that explains the visions she had throughout her life. But then later in life when she meets an entity she calls the Maker, I think that Maker is a titan.

"Mommy, what happened to the Inquisitor?"

"The Dreadwolf tricked her and abducted her into the Fade, where she will be locked away with him for all eternity."

I have been looking too much at baroque statues these past days and so this happened.. idk if I want it to be a statue or if I want to color it normally.

Anyway it's mostly inspired by the amazing works of Bernini.

I am obsessed with the concept of mis-remembered history, and I kind of love the idea of Solas and Lavellan's story of love, devotion and redemption turning into a tragedy over years of re-telling. In the meantime they are living blissfully as husband and wife in the Fade of course. <3

they should have left dorian and the inquisitor in the in hushed whispers timeline for like a month just because it would’ve been funny

[stonesense]

dorian: i can’t believe we have to walk through this desert. AGAIN

cassandra: we’ve... never been here before

inquisitor: dorian, cassandra doesn’t remember the battle of the western approach

dorian: oh of course. well, i’m not saying i liked the army of walking corpses, i am saying that they broke the monotony

inquisitor: i don’t miss the were-varghests. or the fade whirlpool

dorian: [in the tone of someone saying something absolutely hilarious] well you can’t really miss the fade whirlpool

inquisitor: [cracks up laughing]

cassandra: is this what heatstroke feels like

[stonesense]

josephine: inquisitor i know you think it’s helpful but you have to stop saying “see that’s funny because those were literally your last words in the other timeline”

inquisitor: i don’t think it’s helpful

josephine: could you try to be? because our forces are falling apart as we speak.

inquisitor: oh wow. okay i know this is a boy who cried wolf situation here but those were literally the last—

[stonesense]

inquisitor: hey mother giselle just brought me a letter and i want to say upfront i know i stood by you through the last time you reunited with your father but if we have to do it again i’m going to kill him

dorian: understandable but i’m going to have to ask you to not

inquisitor: can i at least tell him that in the other timeline we were gay married for three decades or something

dorian: a reasonable compromise

[stonesense]

cullen: we met this tevinter necromancer two days ago and now he’s in all our war table meetings?

inquisitor: cullen i’m going to be real with you i was much more understanding the first time we had this conversation but if i am separated from the only person who understands what i’ve been through right now i’m going to start shaking like a chihuahua and then possibly start biting

dorian: i hate to admit to any such reliance but yes if you try to remove me i will probably simply tell you when you’ll die

inquisitor: and it’s not even a good one, cullen

dorian: distasteful way to go, really. pick something else this time

[stonesense]

dorian: dare i ask why our dear friend solas has been looking at us like that

inquisitor: oh so you know how we still never really figured out what his deal was in the other timeline

dorian: i remember

inquisitor: i’ve been implying that we did just to fuck with him

[the-haiku-bot]

inquisitor: i’ve

been implying that we did

just to fuck with him

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[stonesense]

HAIKU BOT??

The dragonrider 🗡️

Here is the dragon in full size (well, almost full size 🥲). It’s a white vampiric dragon, Astarion’s spawn (neither Durge, nor a dragonborn)

[spiritbladed]

thinking about how solas was running around minrathous reliving his glory days as god of the revolution or whatever FOR WEEKS while rook was in gay baby jail, while thinking about how dorian was ALSO running around minrathous with the shadow dragons because That's His Fucking House

do you think they made eye contact across the street while fighting a bunch of venatori like that it's always sunny meme

Gortash screenshot studies. Plus my personal headcanon as to why he dresses Like That.

thanks for joining me here on my salty little blog <3

As a token, I'd like to gift a bust in this style to someone. I will use a randomizer site to choose from the likes on this post and message the user on 3/23 (via tumblr DMs, unless we talk elsewhere already).

Any* original character from a game, ttrpg, your imagination, or whatever, is welcome - as long as you have some references for me to go off of. :)

*exception: I don't do anthro characters/very animalistic features like full body fur, cat faces, draconic features, etc. Horns, ears, teeth, and other limited features are okay though.

reaches out and immediately holds her hands

caresses her hand with his thumb while they kiss

he holds on to her with both hands, doesn't want to let her go yet

HE MISSED HIS WIFE 😭

[dayntee]

I hate how many small amazing details often get missed because of specific shots made. I know why it happens, because cinematics teams or directors are going to pick what looks best, but these lost details often have so much meaning. 😭

[burloire]

You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune Play me

I spent like three days mucking about with this and I am so pleased with it. I've finally started feeling like experimenting with harsher shapes/colors and even if its muddy idc its fun. Also the idea was supposed to be her spirit wings were based on halla horns but it turned out looking like a helix and you know what, thats FINE her DNA is coded to love Mr Solas Fen'Harel Dread Wolf Spirit Speaker Dragon Age and thats FINE!!!
