Incredible.

You know, I've never really been a soulmates trope fan, but I think I'm gonna have to make an exception for Solavellan.

This is something I've been trying to put into words for a long time and just couldn't until now, but I literally cannot think of another ship of mine, dragon age or otherwise, that feels as "meant to be" as Solavellan does. It's like they're intrinsic to each other, neither one of them completely whole without the other.

There is a reason they spend an entire fucking decade pining for each other, and then drop everything and have an impromptu symbolic wedding and move to the Fade forever the moment Solas is convinced. (Lavellan becomes immortal with Solas somehow, and you can pry that out of my cold dead hands.)

Their love never faded, or went away, because they are everything to each other! Because it's impossible, because they're made for each other!

I'm haunted by the idea of Lavellan visiting the Lighthouse after meeting with Rook the second time, after all the murals are unveiled. I'm tormented by the idea of her wandering around, seeing Solas in the small details as well as the paintings on the walls. I'm in agony over the thought of her seeing the memories through her unique perspective tinted with compassion and empathy (as opposed to the heavy judgement from the resident gang). I'm going feral thinking how the Caretaker would welcome her: how she would be instantly recognised.

"Your memory has walked these halls. The Dread Wolf's heart is welcomed here."

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

Ancient elven god falls in love bc local woman snores louder than the voices in head telling him not too

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

"It Feels Like Him"

Just a HC of when my Lavellan found Solas' memory.

Feeling the warmth of her hearts embrace for a moment after not feeling it for a decade.

Thoughts about Elgar'nan that are spoiler-ific if you haven't finished the game:

We know he's a spirit of Tyranny, but if we read into how demons and spirits have always been described demons are only the shadow forms of a spirit who's purpose was twisted or corrupted.

Tyranny is already a darker version of other emotions and concepts and so cannot have been Elgar'nan's original spirit form. So that being said I posit that he was either originally Command or far more likely, and much more tragically (and let's be real we're here for the angst) he was Protection.

To me it's obvious in the way he know very perversely demands love and the need to be allowed to protect, shield, and shepard his followers. His is not the same beneficent protection that we associate with Mythal (who I actually think is more akin to Motherly Protection, or Parenthood in general). It's the all consuming protection. The need to keep what is yours safe, the easiest version of Protection that can be corrupted with the right fear.

It's the protection that turns to obsession then the need to control. To keep, to possess regardless of what others desire.

And if you led a new people into a world suddenly thrust into a war for survival...how fast would that protection turn into something far darker?
