More Zevs for u horny freaks

The horny freaks (me & everyone else) say ty

Convo with friend from a few days ago reminded me I wanted to do this. I know this joke is old at this point but I don’t care I am pure of heart and intention.

origins: elven men are shorter and have narrower builds than human men - they are a graceful and agile but not very physically powerful race

da2: fenris has a stronger taller build than most elven men which is part of the reason why he would have been singled out by his master to become a bodyguard, he is still narrower than human men and only as tall as marian hawke though

inquisition: solas is still kinda narrow but he is six feet tall. this is foreshadowing the fact that he is a remnant of an ancient, powerful race of immortals that modern elves with their mayfly lives and slight bodies are a mere shadow of

veilguard: davrin is built like a brick shithouse because *checks the lore* fuck you he’s hot

One word: nutrition

Elaboration:

DAO and DAI are in ass-backwards south Thedas, and elves are treated like shit. City elves are on the verge of starvation, southern Dalish are forced to travel more frequently because of the extreme racism. Orlais and Fereldan treat elves like shit, and if you play a female city elf in DAO, you get taken by human men on your wedding day.

DA2 is hardly better. The Dalish clan we see is from southern Thedas. Fenris is from Tevinter and a former slave. He was likely fed better than most slaves because of his training and work, which is why he's built like he is.

Solas is a first generation elf.

Northern Thedas, aside from Tevinter, don't shit on elves. They have a better chance of good nutrition and not forced to pack up and leave so often.

Davrin is from northern Thedas and joined the GW when he was barely an adult. It's canon the GWs eat a ridiculous amount of food due to blight.

In DAI, the elves are disturbingly thin though. Like...who tf thought that was a good look?

We all like to poke affectionate fun at Solas's first flirt line being "I'll protect you" from Lavellan. And yeah, it's pretty cute. But also, in light of Veilguard...

The guy had to deal with ass-hats for a millennia who I'm sure not even once bothered to ask him how his day was going. Solas was used at worst and ignored at best FOR. A. MILLENNIA.

Then he waged war against the ass-hats - not because he wanted to - but because someone freaking had to.

And then here comes along sweet, naive, Dalish-girl Lavellan who doesn't have a clue who she's talking to, and she promises to protect him against the ass-hats of the world.

My guy hasn't had one decent thing said to him in his entire physical existence, and she swears she'll fight the whole f*cking Chantry for him. My dude is wrecked. His soul is shattered.

And he gets away with a soft little "thank you" and just manages not to give away how deeply touched he is.

*I AM GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE!*

I just realized her literal words to him are "You came here to help. I won't let them use that against you." Which is EXACTLY what happened when Mythal asked him to help!

And Solas's response is a casual, "How would you stop them?" Like, he's been used for a millennia! What's this little Dalish girl gonna do?

Lavella: "However, I had to."

Solas:

Fen'Harel was wrecked that day, ladies and gentlemen.

No wonder the man is f*cking thirsty. He's been deprived of affection for a thousand x a thousand years.

The writers knew what they were doing, lol. They had always known Solas' story, and they wrote Lavellan's dialogue to be EXACTLY what Solas needed to hear. What he's probably never heard uttered to him before.

Cassandra does not make herself easy to like. Even among the aloof Seekers, Cassandra is an island—though perhaps a cactus patch is a more appropriate metaphor. It’s a tragic paradox: Her obstinate insistence on what should be leads to wholly unrealistic expectations, not only for others but for herself as well. She wants friends and confidants with whom she can achieve mutual respect and affection, because of and despite her “quirks.” But her impossibly high standards frustrate those who would like to be closer, while her crisis of confidence makes her feel unworthy of anyone who does meet with her approval. Even if she made herself approachable, her missions for the Sunburst Throne prevent her from staying in any single place long enough to form attachments.

Cassandra,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, she wants friends and has none I'm........
