About 50, she spent too much time exploring the place and looting it which for her is fun

She trusts that Solas can handle the situation and carries on, though like with Mei if she sees him getting uncomfortable then she will step in, except much more aggressively, with an arrow, that just barely misses the person's head... She's the protective type when it comes to those situations

22: what is their favourite weapon?

33: are they afraid of anything specifically?

The ocean

35: how do they feel about "the game"?

It interests her

36: are they particularly protective of any inquisition members, even ones that can defend themselves?

Cole because people misunderstand that he means well. Krem because of people's prejudices, she doesn't care what a person's gender it or if it's not what they were born as, it's the person that matters, plus she likes hearing Krem's stories about what the Chargers did

Hates them

#2

1: what is your inquisitors name & race?

Falael, Elven

2: what is their sexual orientation?

Gay

3: what do they look like?

I'm gonna have to describe him since I have no screenshots of him even tho he's the cutest one

He's pale, has green eyes, white hair, a slightly long face and his nose is actually really flat but that's also the thing that made him look so cute

4: how did they feel about being called the herald of andraste?

Doesn't like it at all, makes him feel suffocated

5: what are their religious beliefs if they have any?

He may be Dalish but he actually doesn't believe in any religion

6: what is their opinion on the mage/Templar war?

He wants nothing to do with it

7: who is your inquisitors best friend

Cole

8: who is their rival

Cassandra

9; who is their love interest if they chose one? Do you ship them with anyone else/non romanceable options?

Dorian

10: rogue, warrior, mage?

Mage

11: how do they feel about the Dalish

He never fitted in with them so he's not a huge fan

12: how do they feel about the Qun?

He doesn't know enough about it, for him to understand something he has to experience it rather than hear about it

13: how do they feel about the chantry?

He personally thinks religion is pointless but like the chantry is using its power wrongly

14: which demon is most frightening to them?

All of them, they really unsettle him

15: did they choose the Qun or the chargers in Iron Bull's personal quest? Why?

Chargers, he knows them so why sacrifice them

16: when are they happiest

When he's with Dorian or Cole

17: how do they feel about the mark/anchor?

It makes him feel uncomfortable

18: upon first meeting Cole were they afraid of him?

He was more curious

19: did they use the templars or the mages to close the breach?

Templars surprisingly

20: what was their court approval like at the winter palace? Did they have any fun at all?

100, he got a bit panicked after a bit but whenever he got like that he went and talked to Dorian to calm down, did find some of the gossip funny

21: someone is encroaching on their love interest. How do they respond?

He would get jealous and be overly cuddly later on

22: what is their favourite weapon?

He actually really liked the staff he first picked up when he was with Cassandra, it's useless now but he keeps it in his room

23: are there any creatures in the wild they refuse/are reluctant to kill? Why?

Mabari, pretty much every Mabari likes him so there's no point in killing them when all they want from him is affection

24: what is their opinion on blood magic? Would they ever use it if given the chance?

He has used it before, he won't use anyone elses blood other than his own but it's something he does more to understand it and figure out if there's safer ways of handling it

25: what is their favourite place within playable regions?

Actually he really likes the snowy area (yay me not knowing the names of areas)

26: did they feel suspicious of Dorian upon first meeting him due to his Tevinter heritage?

Actually it was more love at first sight for him, getting to know Dorian made him love him even more

27: as a whole how do they feel about Tevinter + the imperium?

He's interested in it but wouldn't want to go there unless it became properly safe for elves

28: did they encourage Cullen to continue taking Lyrium or to stop? For what reasons?

He encouraged Cullen's own choice which was stopping taking Lyrium, he sees no point in changing that if Lyrium is so harmful

29: does it bother them to sleep in tents when on the road with the inquisition?

Unless it's raining he usually sleeps outside the tent, it's too stuffy for him

30: are they an optimist, pessimist or neutral?

Pessimist but somehow he makes that seem sweet? It can get hard though since he puts himself down sometimes

31: if Varric wrote a book about your inquisitor how would they feel?

He'd be embarrassed

32: do they get along with Vivienne?

No not really, they have very different views

33: are they afraid of anything specifically?

He's afraid of losing the people he loves

34: what was their reaction to the destruction of Haven?

In his case it happened a lot quicker and he had no time to get an attachment to Haven

35: how do they feel about "the game"?

It's interesting but not something he'd ever do

36: are they particularly protective of any inquisition members, even ones that can defend themselves?

Actually everyone tends to feel the need to protect him, he's given each of them their fair share of scares

37: do they like their skyhold pajamas?

Not particularly, he finds them too stiff

38: are there any insults they find to be particularly offensive?

Any prejudice insult upsets him, poor boy might seem like he's not phased on the outside but get to know him and you'll see that he's trying not to cry

39: if Varric gave them a nickname what would it be?

"ghost" only because he almost always used fade walking to get places which makes it near impossible to see the person

40: do they enjoy being the inquisitor?

It stresses him a lot but he's glad he's got friends with him

[lavellanscreee]

#1 of this ask thing

1: what is your inquisitors name & race?

Mei, Elven

2: what is their sexual orientation?

Pan

3: what do they look like?

4: how did they feel about being called the herald of andraste?

For her it felt odd to be recognised at all since she always kept to herself in her clan

5: what are their religious beliefs if they have any?

She believes in the Elven gods

6: what is their opinion on the mage/Templar war?

She's a mage herself so it's harder on her, she tries to keep on the down low about being a mage even though she's the inquisitor, needless to say it's a habit

7: who is your inquisitors best friend

Dorian

8: who is their rival

Probably Solas tbh

9; who is their love interest if they chose one? Do you ship them with anyone else/non romanceable options?

She's with Cullen but I feel like if Cole was romanceable she would have been with him instead

10: rogue, warrior, mage?

Mage

11: how do they feel about the Dalish

She can see that they can be ignorant but she still has respect for them, being one herself

12: how do they feel about the Qun?

She can see both the benefits and downfalls, it has some good ideas but others that she just can't agree with

13: how do they feel about the chantry?

She doesn't like how she was treated by the Chantry but she doesn't hate it

14: which demon is most frightening to them?

Despair demons

15: did they choose the Qun or the chargers in Iron Bull's personal quest? Why?

Chargers, there's no way she could have abandoned people she knew and trusted

16: when are they happiest

Either when they're relaxing with Cullen or hanging out with Dorian or Sera

17: how do they feel about the mark/anchor?

She'd rather it not be attached to her body

18: upon first meeting Cole were they afraid of him?

She actually trusted him pretty quickly

19: did they use the templars or the mages to close the breach?

Mages

20: what was their court approval like at the winter palace? Did they have any fun at all?

Almost 100 but not quite, Having Dorian and Sera there helped her feel at ease and less out of place but I'm not sure she'd have considered it completely fun

21: someone is encroaching on their love interest. How do they respond?

She trusts Cullen whole heartedly but if the person wasn't taking no for an answer or making him visibly uncomfortable she'd probably just ask if there's a problem and help him get away

22: what is their favourite weapon?

Whichever staff has the better qualities at the time, so long as it makes fighting easier she doesn't care how it looks

23: are there any creatures in the wild they refuse/are reluctant to kill? Why?

Halla, they're just too pretty, she also feels bad for killing Mabari since she had one when she was very little

24: what is their opinion on blood magic? Would they ever use it if given the chance?

She would probably use it as a last resort and only a last resort. It's highly abused but in her opinion if it's used carefully then it's not too bad.

25: what is their favourite place within playable regions?

I can't remember the name of it but it's the really green wooded area with all the huge trees

26: did they feel suspicious of Dorian upon first meeting him due to his Tevinter heritage?

She's always been one to give a person a chance before choosing to trust them or not, but she liked him and got on well with him easily

27: as a whole how do they feel about Tevinter + the imperium?

She doesn't know much about it but from what she does know she can see that the people in power should really change to others that would be better placed, because Dorian has some hope for it she does too, after all, he knows the place better than her

28: did they encourage Cullen to continue taking Lyrium or to stop? For what reasons?

She encouraged him to stop, she understood his reasoning for stopping and had done so well so far and wants to stick by him with that decision

29: does it bother them to sleep in tents when on the road with the inquisition?

She's just happy to have her own tent, back in her clan she had to share it with her 4 younger siblings

30: are they an optimist, pessimist or neutral?

She's neutral but slightly more optimistic when she can be, but she likes to try and be realistic too

31: if Varric wrote a book about your inquisitor how would they feel?

She would definitely read it out of pure curiosity, I think she'd feel happy that Varric wrote about her though

32: do they get along with Vivienne?

She tries so hard to get along with her but nothing seems to ever work, Vivienne doesn't quite hate her though

33: are they afraid of anything specifically?

She's actually terrified of the dark

34: what was their reaction to the destruction of Haven?

She was sad about it but she also knew it had to be done

35: how do they feel about "the game"?

Personally she doesn't see the appeal of it

36: are they particularly protective of any inquisition members, even ones that can defend themselves?

Dorian, Cole and Sera, they're the ones she gets on with the most (not including Cullen) but they're also not well liked or trusted for various reasons

37: do they like their skyhold pajamas?

Yep, it's better than what she wore in her clan, feels sturdier but comfy

38: are there any insults they find to be particularly offensive?

She doesn't get affected by words that much, she just ignores them

39: if Varric gave them a nickname what would it be?

Bunny because honestly she's like a rabbit in some ways

40: do they enjoy being the inquisitor?

She doesnt completely enjoy it but she's grateful since she's met amazing people from it

This takes so long and I've got 3 other characters to write for, it's midnight 😂

Keeping you Warm

Fighting red Templars, Rescuing the townfolk, makes one dalish elf very sleepy. But how can Elaina rest when it’s so cold in Emprise du Lion? Good thing solas is there to tend to his beloved inquisiter.

I always wondered what his undershirt looks like >w> you see it under the fold of his collar so…. turns out the guy looks like he belongs in a poetry club! 

[lavellanscreee]

More Solas, because fuck it.

I’m sure other people have already touched on this, but whatever. My Tumblr, my thoughts, my rants, blurblah etc.. My Lavellan romanced Solas because I loved his character arc. I was aware of it, I knew the direction it took, and I understood that my Lavellan was going to have her heart ripped out. I knew all of that, and I did it anyway. Normally, tragic romances don’t upset me too much. Normally, I don’t mind reading fanfiction or browsing for fanart (and I certainly don’t mind writing or drawing my own.) Solavellan is a completely different story. I have not read Solavellan fanfiction, and while I’ve seen Solavellan fanart, it’s not because I’ve gone looking for it. Seeing the fanart makes me sad - perhaps irrationally, because it isn’t as though Solas or any Lavellan are real people who have experienced real tragedy. So what’s my deal, then? None of the fanart really seems out of character. In most Solavellan fanart I’ve seen, they’re embracing lovingly, tenderly touching each other, or peacefully enjoying each other’s company. All of this is peppered with a few outrageously adorable (and still in character) scenes of them where Solas is being teased about something - usually by the other companions. It isn’t like you look at this artwork and think “this is so sweet/adorable/lovey, but I can’t see any of this happening.” You can see all of it happening and it all makes sense. You can see them reading by candlelight, can see them reaching out to gently touch each other during casual conversation, can hear the softness of their voices and the eager but delicate way they teach each other. That’s what gets me. You don’t need to stretch your imagination to picture what Lavellan’s relationship with Solas would be like. It is very telling to me that even without a sex scene, the basic context of their relationship is right there, encompassed within every spoken word and movement. Listen to the way he speaks to her, of her. How he addresses her. This is a woman he admires, a woman who he has no issues with admitting has changed his entire view of the inhabitants of the world, who he openly and willingly shares knowledge with (even if there is something they do not agree on.) He respects her and he repeatedly reminds her of the positive impact she’s had on his life. In the event that she breaks up with him, or responds to him in anger/distress when he breaks up with her, he does not meet her anger or distress with the same. He instead raises her up, reminding her of the values of her character that have brought all of them so far. He does not dismiss her emotions, but instead accepts them and validates them. If she is not equal to him in the moment, he is raising her above himself. Solas, the essence of pride, raising the woman he loves, adores, cherishes, and respects, above even himself. It is within her that he finds humility (I believe this is absolutely crucial to Solas’ character.) That’s what gets me. Their relationship is built on respect, admiration, and love. Love, you can come by. Respect should be a given in a healthy relationship. Many would even say that admiration should be, as well. The fact of the matter is that many, many of us rarely find all of these qualities in a relationship and when we do, it is not always to the degree that we see between Solas and Lavellan. I’m sure you could say much of the same thing about many of the Dragon Age relationships. Sure. Yes. Indeed, probably. But I’m not talking about those relationships, because they’re remarkably different from Solas and Lavellan in that the relationships don’t end by force because one of them is a conflicted god with a huge fuck-all plan to destroy the current world in order to restore it to a previous state. Solavellan was working. Solavellan should have endured. Two years later, he is still in love with her. Two years later, she is either trying to move on or still in love with him. It wasn’t the case that when the relationship ended, or at any point during Trespasser, he told her that their relationship was a casual fling, that she and what they had meant nothing, that everything he did and said to her was built on lies. In fact, he tells her the opposite. He has no reason in Trespasser to lie to her, if he was (and let’s be honest here - it isn’t as though, knowing who he is, you can’t go back through dialogue and realize how fucking shady he could be, and how effortlessly he pulled it off.) I think that’s why it breaks my heart so damn much. I was rooting for them, I’ve been rooting for them. I’m still rooting for them. They deserve better than this. God damn it.

“We must be careful how we present ourselves.”

no offense but the soft uncertain kiss followed by a pause where the people look each other in the eyes and then fucking pull eachother back into a more passionate kiss will always be the most soul destroying trope , catch me lying on the fucking ground sobbing and rewatching The Scene™✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Is it bad that I kinda really wish either Jack or Mark would play at least one of the dragon age games on their channel, I feel like Jack specifically would really enjoy them, but like, I need more dragon age stuff to watch when I'm not playing it myself and it'd be really amusing to watch them play it I think lol

In response to the character trope ask meme: you are *bursts through door* “begone you thot- oh no he’s hot”

Well definitely with characters in games 😂

Totally not thinking of Lucio from The Arcana lmao

my friend told me that he thought I’d be the final girl in a horror movie and honestly I think the new trend should be complimenting your friends by telling them what tv trope they remind you of

[lavellanscreee]

For me it usually triggers when walking from Cullen's office into Solas's room and the floor just doesn't load, step onto that unloaded floor and you fall down into where it is, and no problem lol

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who on DAI glitched through the floor and triggered some music box to start playing in random areas, it's driving me insane 😂
