skyhold once belonging to solas is fascinating because he watches the inquisitor act as a Better dread wolf

the inquisitor is basically solas, a rebellion leader that is revered as a god, where their title swallows their name. they even have his power, part of his orb seared into their palm.

they fight against corypheus, a powerful mage who calls himself a god, and primarily uses the bLIGHT and slave armies, like the evanuris.

spirits and elves may have once flocked to skyhold in refuge and then organized as an army, like inquisition volunteers. the rotunda he stays in may have been a lighthouse!! rotunda + library + rookery look very lighthouse shaped.

solas holds the memories of how skyhold was used thousands of years ago and then he watches the inquisitor walk exactly in his footsteps. the only difference is this time, the inquisitor wins and saves the world. and they primarily do this by sealing up the breach and tears in the veil, the opposite of tearing it down.

and solas is nothing but the guy who caused all of this in the first place. where he failed over and over again, the inquisitor succeeds. they save the world that is a remnant of his failure but one that he must destroy again. it must’ve haunted him the entire way, knowing he will be seen as another villain, trying to destroy heroes and what they worked so hard to save, in order to fix his failure at being a hero himself.

the inquisitor may be a reminder to solas of what he could/should have been. its no wonder that in a friendship, he respects them greatly. and in a romance, it reads as soulmates that are almost twin flames

Coming back from the dead with another obsession, which is the man himself >:)

if there was vallaslin dedicated to fen'harel - maybe as a form of punishment, or an act of rebellion, or a schism in the dalish religion - this is what i think it might look like.

(modelled by my lavellan, who in her very-not-canon-compliant backstory got the fen'harel vallaslin as a punishment for experimenting with blood magic in her teens)

Rook: Good thing we have a fade expert, his old, wise, very Handsome and lives in my mind rent free. 😊

Solas: Rook, I didn't know you thought so highly of me.

Rook: You? I was talking about Emmrich.

** Slight Veilguard spoilers ahead**

I played Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2015, not long after it launched. It was the first Dragon Age game I had played (didn't get into console gaming until 2014). From the jump, I hated Solas. That man pissed me off at every turn. For the longest time, I was baffled how the majority of the Fandom seemed to adore him when I could not stand the man.

That is, until Veilguard. It might have taken 10 years, but it finally brought my fellow Solas haters out of the woodwork. I felt so damn vindicated in my hatred of that bald headed bastard when I finished Veilguard.

No hate to people who love/enjoy Solas. To each their own. I just can't stand him

If anyone asks, a spirit of determination possessed me

I'm about to put that man in a situation he shouldn't be in.
