Tell me about the well of sorrows! Who ended up drinking from it? Also, regardless of if she did or not, what would that convo after between her and Solas look like?

Eeee I am glad you asked!

So! For the Well of Sorrows, the OT4 ended up going with Sable, as well as Dorian. Usually the OT4 went off on their own for Inquisition stuff – at first for tracking down magical artefacts because of Solas, then eventually they were designated the local elven experts once it became apparent that Corypheus was interested in elven ruins.

And when Sable invited Solas to come along to the Arbor Wilds, Solas insisted that the other elves come along too. At that point he had a lot of respect for Mahanon and was growing fonder of Liriel. Even a little begrudging respect for Lahariel.

Liriel drank from the Well. She didn’t give Sable much of a choice. Solas refused, Morrigan wasn’t an elf – “This is my people!” she pretty much said to Sable, jabbing a finger at the well. “This is our history! Morrigan does not have the right to drink. You do not have the right to decide who will drink. I will drink because I am elvhen, and never again will we submit. This is our birthright. Not yours.”

And while I cannot speak 100% for Lahariel and Mahanon, I’m sure they were there nodding along, even if they might’ve been twitchy because weird magic wtf. Maybe they’d be reluctant because of that magic, but I’m sure that despite that, they’d have infinitely preferred Liriel did it.

Solas wouldn’t have been happy with it at all. Whether the Well gave the drinker the ability to defeat him, or the ability for Mythal to control them – he would have rathered that he had to kill/control Morrigan than Liriel. At that point he’d become very fond of Liriel and was even starting to love her.

Afterwards, there wasn’t much of a conversation between Solas and Liriel. He did try. But Liriel shut him down each time with, “You clearly have knowledge that my people are entitled to that you refuse to share, so fuck you. I’ll take whatever shreds are left of our heritage however I have to. You could have prevented this but you didn’t. You think about that.”

He did.

Sable: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you've lost throughout your lifetime.

Lahariel: Oh, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.

Solas: My will to live! I haven't seen this in 15 years!

Mahanon: I knew I lost that potential somewhere!

Liriel: Mental stability, my old friend!

Sable: Guys, will you lighten up a little?

This talk on Aquinea has me thinking

so like

in my headcanon, Dorian gets all his sass from his mother. So when it came to introducing her to Sable he was torn between thinking “oh god they’re gonna hate each other” and “oh god one of them is going to chew the other up and spit them out and I don’t know which one.”

Because on one hand, Aquinea has bite but it gets blunted by her drunkenness.

But on the other, Sable has a really sarcastic personality but also tends to Panic about things a lot.

Unfortunately, the reality was much worse: Sable and Aquinea sassed each other once and all but fell in love, resulting in them becoming Buddies and occasionally ganging up on Dorian. Naturally, Dorian was horrified.

Headcanon says that Aquinea never really gave a flying fuck about Dorian’s sexuality or whatever (she knew what it was like to get married off to someone one has no respect for) until Halward went Crazy Blood Mage on his son’s ass (at which point Halward was banished to the couch for the rest of his life -- not that they slept in the same room anyway but it’s the thought that counts), but much to Dorian’s dismay his mother became much more annoyingly supportive when she found out having a son-in-law even more sarcastic than she was was way better than dealing with some bored daughter-in-law reliving Aquinea’s worst nightmares and a bunch of annoying rugrats nobody particularly wanted or cared about.

(Also, Sable’s way better at dealing with Aquinea than Dorian is.)

So whenever some magister is taunting Aquinea about her son marrying another man, Aquinea’s like “thank fuck Halward’s line ends here, rest in fucking pieces! Which I could say the same for your husband’s line, Becky, but I hear he knocked up the maid again!”

“You take that back!”

“Is it true that when you married your daughter off, her husband took one look at her and said that to you?”

“GASP!”

(You can see why her and Sable get along so well right)

[robotslenderman]

So like, after Dorian’s forced to go back to Tevinter after Halward’s death Aquinea is like “hmm, I should probably make amends for the whole standing-by-and-not-doing-jack-shit-when-he-was-shut-in-a-basement thing. Also possibly being a terrible mother.”

(Definitely being a terrible mother.)

Anyway her version of “making amends” was to hang around and drink Dorian’s wine. And tell him “GOOD JOB FUCKING THAT ONE UP, GENIUS” after Dorian and Sable broke up. and being like “by Andraste I did not ditch your father so you could break up with the love of your life and spend the rest of your life as miserable as we were, eugh, fucking go to wherever he is and drag him back here”

(”Do you promise not to embarrass me if I do”

“I make no such promises”

“Great! Thank you for your undying love and support, Mother! It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.”

“You’re welcome!”

“why are you still here”

“because Halward willed his wine collection to me and it’s the only fucking bit of joy that stupid miser ever gave me.”

“Also me!”

“Not when I had to be sober for nine bloody months to give birth to you!”

“And here I thought I was born with wine instead of blood running through my veins.”

“You’re lucky you’re out of arm’s reach, boy.”)

eventually Dorian and Sable patched things up and Sable appears in Minrathous.

Now, friendly reminder that Sable is in his mid forties by this point and looks a little bit older. Aquinea takes one look at him and is like “I really expected my son to bring home a young, hot boytoy.”

And Sable’s like, “Oh, don’t worry, he did! But there wasn’t enough room in the carriage so Dorian had to shove him in a suitcase.”

And that is when Aquinea decides her son has wonderful taste in men and Adopts the shit out of Sable and proceeds to treat him like he’s the second baby boy she never had.

(Dorian is only slightly cranky about this and decides Sable can pay the penance of dealing with Aquinea when she’s hung over.)

Sabrian headcanon

Sable is genuinely scared of ever drinking alcohol because he’s a sheltered circle nerd who thinks alcohol Turns You Into A Monser

he is Very Impressed that Dorian can drink wine and be immune to this. Dorian totally messes with him and claims it’s a Magister thing. Sable is half convinced he’s actually right.

48. Do they enjoy any parties? If so what kind? Do they organise the party or just turn up? How do they act? What if they didn’t want to go but were dragged along by a friend? FOR EVERYBODY

HO BOY LET’S DO THIS:

Lola Shepard:

She is totally the life of the party. She loves parties and is a raging extrovert. She wouldn’t be the one doing the keg stands and going “WOO” at everyone, but she’d be floating from group to group making sure everyone’s having fun, doing introductions, getting people to tell stories. She’d be great to have at a party because she treats it like a mission, and that mission is to make sure everyone feels good about being there.

She’s probably also the party organiser. If you’re having a party, she’ll ask to help out.

Liriel Lavellan:

The first party Liriel ever canonically went to is the one where Josephine Montilyet went out of her way to make sure Liriel didn’t attend it, and Liriel wound up turning into a dog, digging a hole under a hedge, grabbing Solas’s wrist in her mouth and dragging him through. Then she spent the rest of the party fucking Venatori shit up in the grounds with the rest of the OT4. She considers it a raging success. (So does Josephine.)

So basically that’s what Liriel does: goes behind the scenes and fucks shit up, and that’s the preferable outcome.

The less preferable outcome is Liriel barging into the party (she probably crashed it) and starting at least three different fights in half an hour.

Celysel Dirtharen:

When she was younger, Cel hated parties, tended to drift to the edge of them and wish they were over. As she got older, she learned how to cultivate an aura of “I will step on your face and you will thank me for it” which scared off most people.

Sable Trevelyan:

He thought you meant children’s birthday parties. He loves organising parties for kids. Adults, though? Awkward laughter. He’ll spend the entire party just. Being. Awkward.

Less awkward when Dorian’s there. When Dorian’s there, the two of them chill on the sidelines making sarky commentary and Judging people.

He’d rather organise the party then vanish while it’s actually going on.

Milva Gwynvael:

If she shared a universe with everyone above, you’d find her hanging out with Dorian and Sable making sarcastic and snarky commentary. But in any universe you’d p much find her hanging out on the edge Judging everyone, usually with that same “I will step on your face and you will thank me for it” aura Cel develops.

Arianwen Carrigan:

"Why”

She grew up in a tavern. She’s no stranger to crowds. But she’s used to being part of the backstage crew, not actually being in the party, and would much rather spend it in her room.

Lisbeth Ryder:

She’s no extrovert, but she won’t avoid a party either. She’ll just float around enjoying the atmosphere and feeling vaguely self conscious about being by herself.

If you're interested, would you like to do 📱 for Elden? :D

my desktop hates Emojis so I have no idea if it’ll show when I publish this ask or not lmao

UNSENT:

Sable: EwwwSable: TrevelyaaaaaaanSable: You reek of political bullshiiiiiiit and I’d kick your ass if you weren’t so buuuuuuuffSable: (why does the first Trevelyan I talk to in forever have to be BIGGER THAN ME)Sable: Ehhh maybe you’re not so bad tho, you kind of looked like a puppy when I met you. Dorian noticed, too. He keeps going on at me about how House Pavus must be mistaken about Trevelyans being related to them, because clearly we’re all descended from Fereldans and House Pavus would never admit to being related to a bunch of puppy eyed dog fuckers (those were not his exact words)

SENT:

Josephine: The Inquisitor is currently unavailable, however he made a personal note to me to relay his gratitude, once again, for all you have done, and his regrets that he could not respond to your message himself. Rest assured, as soon as the Inquisition has need of your services, he has full confidence in your abilities.

ALSO, BONUS!

UNSENT:

Liriel: HEY DUDE what’s their diehard rehearsalLiriel: My name is Liriel and I should never be trusted with any device with a wifi connection. Ever.Liriel: SOLASLiriel: He is dodge like a dog pet AUTOCORRECT THAT IS THE THE WATCH I SUNLiriel: Inquisitors Silas is seal king my prone

SENT:

Liriel: Inquisitor, as per our earlier conversation, I highly recommend 1) blocking this number (for obvious reasons), and 2) perhaps having Leliana find the rightful owner of this phone, as it has come to my attention that Liriel did not, in fact, get given a brand new smart phone for free by the quartermaster, and as a matter of fact camel to owl egg eGG EGG GJGJ ERE EGG EGG DUCK THE EGG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
