EXCUSE ME LOOK AT HOW HE'S LOOKING AT HER WHEN HE'S ABOUT TO LEAVE TO THE FADE. HE WANTS HER TO COME WITH HIM SO BADLY, HE WANTS HER SO BADLY BUT HE KNOWS HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO EVEN ASK THAT.

I'm not ok bye.

Well, now we're gonna have to write nursing back to health fanfics of Lavellan taking care of and healing Solas in the Fade.

[vintra-lavellan]

absolutely in Love with how much Solas was an asshole in DATV. He was just too babygirl in DAI (and a terrible liar too—hello mr. i-miss-court-intrigue) for me to fully believe that he was the elven god of lies. Batting his eyelashes at Inky when taking her hand, ir abelas vhenan everywhere etc...

But to Rook? He is such a Little Lying Piece of Shit. He would leave Rook dead in a ditch no second thoughts i love it

[lavellaned]

here's a quick shitty gif of this tweet of flycam showing solas rubbing the back of lavellan's hand with his thumb during the kiss

Did you know that when you zoom out with the camera in that last scene with Solas in Crestwood after he walks away from Lavellan, you can see him still standing in the distance, turned towards her?

My lighting settings were all messed up at that point, so all I saw was their shadowy silhouettes, but it coincidentally made for an amazing shot imo and I was so in awe when I discovered this.

It also reminds me of that beautiful illustration from Trespasser’s ending, where Lavellan is searching for him in her dreams as he’s watching her from afar.

Thank you. It’s not like I need my feelings intact today anyways.

I love you Anders but you really need to step up your game

This. The fading of his armour to his DAI tunic. He’s shedding his Pride. He is becoming all he ever wanted of himself… for her.

“… I could have shared the truth, or even put my plans aside and simply stayed with you as Solas… as I wanted.”

Will never be over this friendship and how Solas is always seen both as Wisdom and Pride to this spirit of Compassion who trusts him completely and how Solas reaches out to the point of giving himself away so many times because he wants to help Cole adjust to the world.

I'm reminded of Cole's comment about how it's harder to read inky because of the mark, that it's like "counting birds against the sun", and that he can only read people when they need him (compassion).

Cole is sensing Solas's pain first and foremost, which allows him to connect to Lavellan's.

So whenever I get this banter all I can think about is how not only Lavellan is hurting so bad that Cole is able to pick up on it, but that Solas is also still so distraught that his mental barriers are down until he manages to shut Cole out.

It's also worth noting the amount of time it required him to do so, Cole just about ruined this man's whole career by starting to blurt out Solas's biggest secret.

Y’all seen these videos

I think where the “you’re just mad people are critiquing a game you like” crowd gets me the most is that I’ve read all their critiques. I was legitimately surprised on my first run that some people took Veilguard so personally and were vitriolic so I went through and read what they were saying because I was like “what did I miss?” That’s my first instinct when something confuses me is to dig. (Oh hey I applied this to the game too! Crazy!)

And when I started breaking down what they were saying was when I started getting annoyed because their arguments were either in such bad faith, reductive, or just plain wrong. Like Orientalism in the game? Fair! But I have not seen talk of that get anywhere near the amount of traction as “Solas should have torn down the Veil and him and Lavellan should have had elf supremacy together and they didn’t so game bad.” “I missed a bunch of stuff then blamed BioWare.” Or “I didn’t like how it played out so writing bad.” Or “They didn’t say the Maker enough and I counted.” That last one is my favorite. Oh and “the language is too modern” and they’re specifically talking about Taash because they don’t want to admit nonbinary people make them uncomfortable.

But wow I don’t see that energy from the other side at all. I don’t see them even trying to understand or read why people like the game. I try to encourage people to read your meta write ups as well as my own and they either just want to pick a fight because I have the audacity to love the game rather than hear me out or step outside of that negativity for like two seconds. Here we are two months later and they’re still acting like Veilguard broke into their house and beat them up and stole their sixty bucks then took a piss on the old games.

When I first saw Solas make this expression, I thought, “This is why Lavellan could never get over him in 100 years.” He’s just so cute it’s unreal.

[dark-solas-deactivated20250116]

man twitter has some of the wildest takes on solas and mythal and solavellan, it's actually kind of mind boggling. "solas loves mythal more than lavellan" "solas would drop lavellan for mythal" ok... why didn't he? i don't deny that solas cared about mythal greatly, but if romanced he also fell in love with a mortal woman and it only took a YEAR spent with her for him to want to give up his plans and consider doing so to live with her. that speaks to how strongly solas felt about lavellan, and stating that he'd just prefer to be with someone else feels like a huge misinterpretation and invalidation of those feelings.

if solas wanted to be with mythal so badly and loved her so much more than lavellan he could have not engaged in a relationship with lavellan while a part of mythal chilled alone in the fade? visited her instead of stalking lavellan's dreams for ten years? respected her wishes when one part of her disagreed with his plans? looked a little happier to see her when her other essence showed up, instead of looking like he thought she might stab him with his dagger? except he didn't do any of that.

seeing a man who still feels a great deal of guilt and regret surrounding a past relationship with a woman and thinking that anyone he falls in love with after her is just second choice or a rebound is, i'm sorry, such a shallow way to view not only the story, but also relationships in general, in my opinion.

and anyway, weekes said that solas doesn't love mythal more than lavellan and i think they know best.

The final song in the Solavellan ending, when Lost Elf reappears, that is not on the soundtrack

There’s no fate but the love we share♥️

(still crying btw 🥲)

I think solas’s body language in his atonement ending is just. good lord that man is tired of making world-altering decisions that hurt people.

you hand him the dagger after telling him that what he’s doing won’t do what he wants it to and the way he’s only barely holding it

It’s balanced on the tips of his fingers and once he holds it more firmly, it’s still such a loose grip and he’s tapping the blade in a way where you can see him considering what rook is saying

And then after he’s freed of mythal’s bonds - he looks back at the tears in the world and his eyes clear and there is no hesitation in how he draws that blade across his palm. He sees a way forward that doesn’t require him to doom thousands more to death and wastes no time choosing that other, better way.

He’s never wanted to do this. He’s never wanted the blood of yet another world on his hands. And the moment he’s free to find a better way, the only blood he spills is his own
