2026/6/3 Today's drawing.

I saw a post about wolves resting their heads on one another to strengthen their bonds.

Maybe that’s why Solas and Uisce always want to be close? 🐺💕

some people are really looking so hard for some morally correct excuses to harass other people and be bullies, and then they wonder why fandom becomes toxic and no one wants to post their fics or art anymore. it's just pathetic.

fanfic writers and fan artists do not owe anybody anything

That’s such an interesting ship prompt! I guess my question would be: who gets jealous more easily, and how obvious are they about it? And, if I may add to the question, how does Sartre/Solas react to their partner’s jealousy?

From these Headcanon Shipping Prompts

My initial response was going to be that neither of them gets jealous but then I really got thinking seriously - it's why answering took so long 😂.

Ok, so during DAI, I don’t think jealousy really comes into play. Saethre throws him so easily, so once his attention turns toward her, no one else has it (but he also doesn't feel he has any right to her). What I do think he experiences in DAI is envy. Other people get to be open with her in ways he can’t. I think there are moments where he envies that freedom because he wants it with her, but you know, secrets.

Post-Veilguard, though, I think he could experience feelings that come closer to jealousy - but never possessiveness. I just can’t see Solas becoming territorial over Saethre. He's wisdom at his core and he hates enslavement too much for possessiveness to come naturally to him, especially with someone he loves.

If Solas does experience jealousy, I think it would amuse him. He’s someone who’s spent most of his life extremely controlled and emotionally restrained. So if jealousy does surface, I think part of him gets amused by the irony. He’s ancient, wise, immortal, powerful, composed, and very self-aware, yet suddenly he finds himself irritated when some dude starts flirting with Saethre.

But he’s a confident man, and more importantly, he knows Saethre chooses him freely so it's not going to bug him too long, he'll have fun with it. If someone is very obviously flirting with her or vying for her attention, he’ll appear beside her, rest a hand at her waist or lower back, insert himself into the interaction. I think attention on her would also trigger pride in him. If other people are drawn to her I think he'd partly feel satisfaction in it, because of course they would see how extraordinary she is (because he does).

And Saethre would know what he's doing and she'd kind of melt over it. Honestly, I think she'd revel in moments like that (especially the first time she experiences it) because they’re reminders that they’re finally together to experience normal emotions openly.

Saethre post-Veilguard, is less emotionally guarded than she used to be so if something or someone bugged her, she'd say something to Solas later - but in the moment? If she's experiencing jealousy she’d go still and quietly watch the person flirting with her man with absolute laser-focused attention. If the person flirting with Solas has any self-awareness, they'd feel that stare with that lovely smile (a look Saethre honed to perfection as Inquisitor). One thing Solas and Saethre would never do, though, is take jealousy out on each other.

Solas would be a bit baffled if Saethre does feel jealousy. It genuinely wouldn’t occur to him that she could feel threatened by anyone else because, in his mind there is no one else but her and he's completely devoted. Even during the years apart between DAI and Veilguard, there was never anyone else, the thought of it never crossed his mind. He meant it when he told her his feelings would never change and that he would never forget her.

To me, vhenan is not a word Solas uses lightly. In the DA world, Lavellan is the only person he’s ever written as calling vhenan (not even Mythal is), and I interpret that as a very sacred term for both ancient elves and for Solas. Spirits who manifested into bodies now have hearts, and to give that heart to someone feels like a spiritual commitment in my opinion. But I digress.

Ok thanks for the ask, I'm sorry I couldn't be more succinct but wow Laurelin did you ever stump me for a bit. 😃

Yesssss!

🖤 What’s the darkest “we’ll never tell anyone” thing they’ve done together?

🚪 Who’s more likely to say “we’re not leaving this room today”?

💞 How do they act when one of them is sick?

💥 What’s the biggest risk one of them took for the other that the partner didn’t find out about until much later?

Thank you Fade!

From these Headcanon Shipping Prompts

🖤 They haven't done it yet but they aren’t telling anyone they plan to tear the Veil down. It would never happen all at once anyway. When it does come down it's done slowly, carefully, over years with patience and preparation - these are two people who take duty and responsibility very seriously and neither of them want destruction, they truly don't. But there's too much genuine connection with spirits that neither of them believe the Veil should remain forever. Saethre came to understand what Solas already knew, that many spirits still remember what existed before the Veil and there's a longing in many of them to experience the physical world again. And since Saethre herself is still somewhat tied into the Veil, she carries the same desire as Solas in being free of it. So for sure selfish reasons, but there is a genuine desire to see worlds unite. There's a lot of consultation with spirits, with the Avvar and maybe, just maybe they use Solas' methods of entering people's dreams to find out information to help them in their research. It's a secret from the Veilguard especially though, the Veilguard has one interest only in my world post VG, keeping the Veil up - which means keeping the last elven god bound to it.

🚪 Okay, it depends. Refusing to leave a room because they’re dealing with an argument or lapse in communications is different from refusing to leave because they’re tangled up in bed together. Saethre is absolutely the one who refuses to leave until a problem is actually dealt with. She’s kind of over letting him compartmentalize things or retreat into martyrdom and self-sacrifice.

But staying shut away together for entirely different reasons like sex? That’s all Solas. That man has denied himself for soooooooo long. And now there's no more false pretenses, no more restraint. That man is pent up and will indulge in and with Saethre any chance he gets.

💞 Solas is clinical when Saethre gets sick. He becomes completely focused on understanding every symptom and dealing with it. He hovers, keeps track of medicines and herbs, and absolutely lectures her about rest. Meanwhile, when Solas gets sick, he's man-cold levels of dramatic about it. Saethre is far more nurturing - makes healing soups, rubbing him with oils, sitting beside him listening and nodding while he complains about how absurd it is that he, of all people, managed to get sick.

💥 For this one I tagged you on the answer to Celese's ask. :)

[amoaliquis]

/snort laugh.

Allow me to set the scene: you, a Durge, are being led somewhere Astarion apparently wishes to share something personal.

When you arrive, your gaze drifts across the quiet, unoccupied graveyard surrounding you.

Strange, certainly, but you've seen and done far stranger things.

He turns to you expectantly, as though awaiting your reaction. You could politely wait for him to speak, but you've never been one to hold your tongue.

You sift through possible responses until one settles neatly into place. Perfect.

A single word, delivered with a dark smirk and the arch of a brow:

/chuckles. I HAD to do it, and I need you to know I was not disappointed.

Sir, have you met me?!! No. No, I absolutely cannot. Not even remotely.

The second I am presented with an opportunity to be both sarcastic and flirty, I am taking it.

This was also a golden response. Pun FULLY intended.

Riven would absolutely hike up her dress and piss on any grave.

And this is the one I actually chose.

His little amused chuckle got a grin out of me, but more importantly, this option gave Riven the perfect opportunity to stick her foot directly in her mouth. It gives my cunning little Durge a moment of, Well, fuck me. Now I feel like an asshole.

It's called being fallible, woman. Stay humble.

I love that this game gives me my snarky ass, borderline violent, 'I loathe you', options.

[Jokes aside, I DO know HOW to be tactful and serious. Thank you very much.]

2026/6/2 Today's drawing.

Thinking about a post-Trespasser dream series.

Starting with outfit ideas for Solas and Uisce.

[pooyaaaaan]

There are several conversations before this where Lavellan and Solas grow closer, but I still think the conversation after she returns from the time-travel incident feels especially meaningful.

Lavellan does not simply say, “You’re special.” Instead, she tells him he is “not most people.” And somehow, I think that is exactly the kind of compliment that would reach Solas in this moment.

She even says she appreciates him not being most people.

Because after waking from uthenera, Solas must have known the loneliness of not being most people. He woke into a world that no longer remembered the truth he knew. When he tried to tell modern elves about the past, about the Veil, about being Fen’Harel, they did not believe him. He was even attacked for it.

So when Lavellan says she appreciates him not being most people, it feels like a quiet reversal of that loneliness.

The very thing that has isolated him — his difference, his distance from the world around him — is, for a moment, treated as something precious.

She is saying she is glad he is not like everyone else.

Glad that he is, in some quiet way, himself.

Maybe that’s a bit much, lol. But still.

And Solas, of course, answers by lightly deflecting with a joke about Orlesian fashion and magical surprises. But I think the softness still lands.

On the surface, it is such a quiet flirtation, carried through an intellectual exchange. But underneath, I feel like it touches something much older and lonelier in him.
