The Dread Husband Rises

Welcome to Solavellan Fade prison. This is a Dragon Age/Solavellan blog, though I try to give other ships/characters attention as well. Lots of gifs, lots of art, lots of meta/theories/thoughts, and a lot of tag-talking from me. She/her, am also fine with they.

Okay I needed to find the source of the Solas speaking to the tune of Hallelujah thing because it's so fucking wild and yet. True. It's true and fully stated by Weekes themself.

In "The Sound and the Fury: What we listened to while writing Dragon Age: Inquisition" posted on the BioWare blog on December 12, 2014, Weekes says the following:

When Solas talks about things that he saw in the Fade, things that speak to a distant past, I needed him to sound ever so slightly otherworldly and wistful – someone remembering a dream with a sense of both sadness and inevitability. So I took k.d. lang’s cover of “Hallelujah”, and I wrote key scenes to that single song on loop. If you follow that link and look at some of Solas’s lines, you may notice a familiar rhythm come out. It would have been forcing it to give lines the same rhyme scheme, but giving the words the meter captured some of that wistfulness and made Solas sound ever so slightly otherworldly. ... (In the rare cases the player got into the same rhythm, there was always an approval bump from Solas. For that brief period, it was like the player was thinking like he did.) I used this a few times over the game, and I love what it did to his voice. Also, Cori (who edited Solas) is exceedingly kind for putting up with my request that changes to those lines keep this surreptitious rhythm.

Anyway yeah I 100% understand how many people can find this more gimmick-y rather than charming. (I'm personally just kinda baffled.)

The spirits gathered here were drawn to tragedy. They radiate it, as a fire does heat.

Back with a Solavellan commission 💛🧡💚

[lomielarts]

Illario and Maras💜💕

Commission work for a lovely client!

This is a scene from their fanfiction which happens during the final battle with Elgar'nan.

They find a moment of rest and comfort in the middle of the war after thinking they'd almost lost each other!

The characters' armor and the pose are my favorite things about this piece!I've had so much fun painting them!

She is Haryk's sister(you can find him in the previous post!)and a Cullen Romancer!❤️

I was asked to show signs of him in her portrait artwork.So decided to paint Cullen's coin that he gives you and the Inquisition's flag!

I think that coin is not talked about enough!I love that lake scene with him!🥹

I also can't wait to do an artwork of Cullen!He was my first romance in DAI before Solas bewitched me😭
