Welcome to Solavellan Hell – an organized list

This is a recreation of the original “Welcome to Solavellan Hell” list started by @Solemis. I wanted to attempt organizing the list to make it more accessible, so we now have categories (listed according how blogs were recmdd). Not everyone tagged is listed. Some people just linked dumped and that’s cool but it’s a lot to shift through.

All your hurt and comfort below the cut.

Love your blog. Your inquisitors are so pretty

fjsklafs whatttt over 500 people?! as a thank you to each and every one of you (and future you’s) i wanted to host an art giveaway!! take a look at the prizes, read the rules, and enter! :)

Prizes:

First Prize: A full color, soft-cell shaded, waist-up scene with up to 2 characters. 

Second Prize: A full body drawing of 1-2 characters complete with color, clean lines and cell-style shading. 

Third Prize: A waist-up drawing of either your ‘quiz or a companion.

Rules:

Must be following me! (Hopefully you’ll stay around afterwards!)

Reblog this post! If you want to like it, you do you, but I’ll only pay attention to reblabs. Multiple reblogs don’t increase your chances.

One entry per person. If your main blog (the one that follows me) is different from the one that it gets reblogged on make a mention of it in your reblog, or else I won’t be able to count it!

Things of note:

To keep this easy, we’ll keep it to what this blog is dedicated to, the Dragon Age: Inquisition fandom. No Origins, no DA:2. I’d love to stick in Solavellan Hell, but its not a requirement.

Nothing NSFW. Kissing, romantic, intimate scenes are okay, but no nudity or illusions to any sexual acts. What you see in that first image is probably as far as I’ll take it. :)

If you’re doing your ‘quiz, I’ll need several headshots from a couple angles to make sure I capture them correctly!

I don’t do crazy armor - my poor brain just can’t work out the angles. 

When the giveaway ends, I’ll contact the winners via DM. They will have 48 hours to respond, and then I’ll move on to someone else. 

Giveaway ends July 9th at 11:59 EST.

Again, thank you so much to all who are following! Love to you all!

Is this only bugged for me? Always comes up with "something went wrong"

I want to listen to this again damn it! 😣

To me, the really intimidating part of Solas’ theme song is that the game introduces it so slowly - first you only hear these thrumming, oppressive war drums (and you didn’t know why - why are there drums? Why??). When you fight the Saarebas, strings come in to lead the drums. 

Only when you start fighting the last boss of the game, do you finally hear Solas’ real, complete theme song. Something like a metaphor for hunting down the pieces to the mystery behind the character himself.

I put the three versions of the song together to make a version where one builds up into the next, the way it does in the game. 6-minute panic attack.

Newest additions to my post-it note doodles.

Post-it note doodles are becoming a thing...

[inaka91]

@feynites Ive been re-reading Looking Glass and it's alternative AU's. These stories have inspired me to start drawing again after years. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I thought I would share my sketch with you. Pride meeting Solas.

[inaka91]

The thing with Solas is… he woke up from uthenera to a world that he does not recognize, a horrible world where everything is awful, where his people are suffering badly, where everything he knows is gone. To put the cherry on top, it’s a world that he deliberately brought about by his own hands.

It’s exactly the same situation for Solas as it was for the Inquisitor when they time-traveled into the horrible future where Corypheus ruled. The Inquisitor had few qualms about sacrificing people in that future because it “didn’t really matter or exist” - the only thing that mattered was going back to the past to prevent that horrible future from occurring.

The Dalish derided and hated? The city elves in alienages? This is Solas’ Bad End Future. Solas does not consider the world around him to be truly real or right. He doesn’t understand the Dalish, and can hardly recognize them or City Elves as elves. He does not want to understand or even think about modern elves because it’s Solas’ fault that they were killed, that they were enslaved, that they have to live the terrible lives they do. He spends as much time in the Fade as possible because of escapism, frankly. Because some of his oldest friends still live there, and because he can still walk lost Arlathan’s streets in his dreams… he wants to be in the past again, where he didn’t fuck everything up. 

He’s very much a lost, isolated character looking for guidance, a true hermit of the tarot. Every conversation he has with the other companions is him desperately sound-boarding off them, “What should I do? What would you do? What can I do?“ His conversations with Varric about the Man On The Island haunt me, especially. (“How can you be happy, surrendering? Knowing it will all end with you? How can you not fight?”)

So yeah, he is a bitter sleepwalker trying not to invest in anything around him… because of self-preservation. Because if he invests emotionally in it, it will make everything harder. If he was truly an asshole, and if people truly didn’t matter to him, this wouldn’t be a problem for him. 

The touching part about Lavellan is not that he treats her better than other people, because he doesn’t. It’s that his feelings for her force him to confront the future that he made, and see it as real. (“You’re real, and it means everyone could be real. It changes everything, but it can’t.”) This future is real, and it’s something he made, and its reality matters deeply.

It’s the story of a god who is estranged from his people (literally, statues of Fen'Harel are not allowed inside Dalish camps) and his relationship with Lavellan helps him reconcile the reality of the world and decide what to do about it. It’s a sleeping god finally answering the call of the Dalish, who never expected to be answered. It’s a mortal convincing a god that his people still need protecting.

The story is incredibly touching to me, especially how I experienced it.

These fit so perfectly 💕😍
