Knee deep in solavellan hell again - as you might have noticed already :D 

This time I really needed to paint post-trespasser tarotcards for these two. Who else is waiting for DA4 to get their hearts shattered completely? 

[fendalan]

Before I disappear into the Fade to avoid spoilers I wanted to share the repaint of my Inquisitor Lavellan. I‘ll miss her and the Inquisition.

See you on the other side and May the Dread Wolf guide you.

The ride home ✨

I started sketching on Friday and didn‘t stop until earlier today. I can‘t remember when I last had so much fun while painting 😭 I hope it shows!

Please someone make another Hallelujah-Solavellan Fancover. I beg you!

One part I really enjoyed was realizing Solas and Lavellan each get to express their feelings and regrets about each other in two verses of Hallelujah before the end of the game.

This was always the cadence that Solas slipped into whenever he remembered something ancient that affected him in the Fade. In Inquisition, Lavellan only joined this cadence occasionally, when on the same page as Solas in conversation.

10 years later, not only is Lavellan mildly on the same page as Solas - now she has somehow fully and completely on the same page as him. Lavellan has become closer to Solas, after thinking of him so long. She is now “singing” the same song that he sang, fluently, in full verses. Lavellan has one foot in the world he loves, the world he had to leave behind, the world he longs for. The world she is fully prepared to enter with him, because she can speak his language and sing the song fluently.

Before the Conclave the times were easier for Lavellan.

Happy Dragon Age Day for anyone that celebrates (lol who am I kidding, right?) I might go back and clean things up but I summoned my inner loosey-goosey and I kind of like how it turned out. For now!

The mods FAQ left me in tears.

It won't be terrible if you're with me. (insp 💜)

going absolutely fucking insane over solas dragonage. he used to be a spirit. he was meant to be bisexual. he hates tea but still drinks it. he murdered the two people he loved most in the world. he pissed magic once (maybe). he pondered an orb. he played strip poker with blackwall. he sundered the fade from the waking world. he created the blight. he sent bitchy letters to elgar'nan. he's great at chess but then lost to a random named after a chess piece. he co-parented a spirit. he murdered the other co-parent. he speaks in iambic pentameter. he imagines the sight of you being dominated would be fascinating. he ghosted his ex for a year and then yanked their arm off. he loves frilly cakes. his greatest fear is dying alone. he's bald.

With this being the hot second.

best dialogue option in this WHOLE GAME

Rook is like:" Listen! We improvise, this is what we do!"

Rook and Lucanis' banter during the Siege was a highlight

Time to cringe post on dragon age blog because cringe is dead long live the cringe.

So I finished the veilguard. Bawled watching that scene. Then I watched it again and somehow cried harder. Then I listened to the music it plays there and cried again, and then I watched it and cried AGAIN. I’m losing my mind. The tears will flow forever.

Solas, you are the character of all time for me, I love you so much 😭 I have this aching hole in my chest knowing that your story is over, and though I wish there could’ve been more Solavellan content in this game, what we got ripped my heart out (in the best way possible). I already miss you so much. Ten years… and this is goodbye.

Dareth shiral, ma vhenan 😭

Not me checking nexusmods daily to see if someone finally dropped a Solas Trespasser Armor mod.

[fendalan]

After finishing Veilguard (twice) I had to start another Inquisition run. Cause 500 hours with the egg just aren't enough.

i'm gonna need whoever wrote,

"you've felt the power of that mind. his love could burn against me like a bonfire. he seemed so kind, and wise, and sad, and looked at me as if i somehow mattered more than anything around us."

to CHILLLLLL jesus fucking christ brother

Ah I replayed the winterpalace and took some screenshots with the flycam…. OMG why does he look so cute?

I LOVE this beautiful scene. The only “not so lonely” balcony scene I guess.
