This is my attempt at Lucifer Morningstar irl.

I've been on an SCP kick recently and wanted to make this one. SCP 166 (the revision) (the background is not my work)

For my friend. Lady Cousland. I modified the pattern from another dress I love. The Cousland heraldry of two green laurel sprays on a deep blue field. The Theirin is two brown dogs on a gold field. The pattern represents the merger of the two houses. Golden laurel of the Cousland Queen with golden roses because... well, Alistair does give you a rose. Her crown is also golden laurel and sapphires.

I hope she enjoys her Queen's coronation getup. I know it isn't canon Fereldan dress. But I think that shit is ugly so we went a little Orlesian.

More Dragon Age long haired guys. I finally got Bull to not look like a yak.

I was really bored and played around with a photo editing app... DA guys with long hair... I'm really sad some of these aren't real.

Warden Claude Andras: Orlesian Warden from DAOA.

[polarishymn-blog]

Sooooo.... I've vastly improved my digital art skills. I redid my friend's Lavellan at the Winter Palace dress.

The dress is intentionally sultry. We were going for the moth/butterfly esthetic of Orlais mixed with elven elements and "crystal mommy energy." Because if bitches are going to talk give them something to talk about.

This lunar moth was the bug we chose for the color and design. When she dances the cold shoulder sleeves make it look as though she has wings.

The original draft is on here.... sigh....it looks like mess.

I'm bored so here is another theory. Be warned HERE BE SPOILERS!

Tacking on to the Elgar'nan theory here:

I discussed how I think the Evanuris were originally spirits. Well folks I have a personal head canon for my Inquisitor. Let me make this clear MY LAVELLAN INQUISITOR. NOT SAYING ANYONE HAS TO AGREE. I JUST USE THIS WHEN I PLAY THROUGH.

Ok? Ok.

Get your tinfoil hats on. This one is a doozy.

Lavellan is the spirit of sacrifice.

I hear people now like "that's ridiculous." Give me a chance to explain before you scroll on.

The Inquisitor is in the fade after being part of an explosion that kills EVERYONE ELSE. Even Corypheus takes a big ol L on this one.

Everyone is dead. What happens to Divine Justinia? A spirit that identifies with her so much it takes on her persona and memories. As does Compassion who becomes Cole. So we have a precedence for this.

Cole shows us that a spirit can take physical form. Justinia shows us that a spirit can fully believe they are that person. And the ancient elves just...these guys...looking at you Solas.

Var lath vir suledin!

I digress. So a spirit can not only retain the thoughts and memories of a person but take physical form.

"Then how come she doesn't know she is a spirit?" You ask?

Simple the spirit doesn't want to remember. It was a traumatic event. The person they identified with, quite possibly has been watching for some time, died a horrible death trying to save Justinia from that red lyrium blight infused ballsack. They basically ran into a situation any of us would have noped out of. All to try and save (for Lavellan) a woman that made no nevermind to them.

Instead our intrepid little elf is like "nah I should definitely fuck with that big scary guy and grab this clearly magical item."

In the immortal words of Sandal "BOOM!"

Everything goes to shit. Our lady elf wakes in the Fade with no memory how she got there. She recovers her memory later but not all of it. After the explosion there isn't shit until she wakes up.

Sus.

So she wakes up and spends the rest of her time throwing herself into one hellscape after another. Putting herself in constant danger and giving up whatever life they had before to save the world. Spoiler: and her fucking arm. Thank Solas. You lying manipulative beautiful bastard you.

Var lath vir suledin!

Speaking of that wolfish sex pistol...he has some...odd dialouge.

Solas: spirit wish to join then living. Demons are that wish gone wrong.

Interesting. He doesn't say they can't. Cole is proof they can. So lets look at some Cole and Solas exchanges:

Solas: The rifts draw spirits through, and the shock makes demons of them.

Cole: Pushing through makes you be yourself. You can hold onto the you.

Cole: Being pulled through means you don't have enough you. You become what batters you, bruises your being.

Solas: Yes, exactly. Deliberately crossing the Veil requires that a spirit form will, personality.

Solas: That concept of self gives a spirit the chance to maintain its nature.

So according to Cole a spirit that comes through willingly doesn't necessarily become a demon. Solas follows up with a spirit needs the will to do so and to form a personality. If the spirit has a blueprint...say...a person they identify with...they could assume that person's personality and indomitable will and focus.

His voice....sigh.

Let's move on to:

Solas: You may well become fully human, after all. I never thought to see it.

Cole: When did you see it before?

Solas: I did not say that I had.

Cole: No, you didn't. It's harder to hear, sometimes. Sorry.

Solas: Good luck, Cole. You have taken a difficult road.

Ya'll Cole can see/sense that Solas has seen this before. And he also knows who and what Solas is. Our murder bebe all but outs him several times. After Tresspasser you see the breadcrumbs clearly. This exchange could on the surface just be about them but as Solas is also a spirit taken form I find it interesting he doesn't say "You where once like me Solas." If he doesn't out him here he may not out the Inquisitor.

Next! Ah...the balcony scene. WHY MUST YOU BE SO DAMN CHARMING!

Solas: Has it affected you? Changed you in any way? Your mind, your morals, your... spirit?"

Lavellan: If it had do you really think I'd have notice?

Solas: No. That's an excellent point.

Lavellan: Why do you ask?

Solas: You show a wisdom I have not seen since... since my deepest journies into the ancient memories of the Fade.

Solas: If the Dailsh could raise someone with a spirit like yours. Have I misjudged them?

Ok...why is he emphasizing her spirit. Not soul. Not you. SPIRIT! He asks if the mark has affected her. But it could be his way of prying information without "hey bitch are you aware you are a spirit. I know crazy, right?" Js he does this "I like your spirit" talk more than once.

I enter into evidence a snippet from the heart shattering breakup conversation:

Solas: You have a rare and marvelous spirit.

I'm not crying. You're crying. DRINK MY TEARS PATRICK WEEKES YOU BEAUTIFUL BEING!

A rare and marvelous spirit huh...Cole what was it he said to you?

Cole: I didn't know there were spirits of wisdom.

Solas: There are few. Spirits form as a reflection of this world and its passions.

Solas: We will never lack for spirits of rage, or hunger, or desire. The world gives them plenty to mirror.

Solas: The gentler spirits are far more rare. We can ill afford the loss of even one spirit of wisdom, or faith...

Solas: Or compassion.

Or sacrifice! If compassion and wisdom are rare. How rare would sacrifice be?

Solas says the Inquisitor changed everything for him. He is someone who is ready to do whatever it takes to restore his people. Surly he would value sacrifice. If he came across a rare and marvelous spirit of sacrifice would he not at least be intrigued? Or inspired?

Let's face it he is an artist. His lady would definitely be his muse. Especially after she accidentally gives him permission to destroy the world.

...Dammit Lavellan.

Finally, why didn't our precious lying egg not mention this? When the Inquisitor is having the very terse elven conversation and the city elves are brought up this is the dialogue:

Solas: Why? What would it benefit some poor man in a Ferelden alieanage to learn his ancestors strode the land like gods? It would only make him bitter. Or inspire him to take a foolish risk and get himself killed.

Lavellan: You have decided his reaction for him.

Solas: Perhaps I have.

Clearly wolf boy has no problem keeping information from someone he thinks will only serve to harm them. If the Inquisitor knew they were a spirit perhaps Solas would think their reaction would be troublesome. Or even dangerous.

There is more but this is already ridiculously long. All this is to say my Lavellan was a real elf. She was killed during the explosion and a spirit of sacrifice identified with her so much she became her. The elf Solas falls in love with is (in my rp) like him. A rare spirit that became flesh and blood. She chose to be real like Cole can. Her lack of memory of the moment it happened is both self serving and part of the effects of becoming real. I know it is most likely all bs but it makes for an interesting thought.

Solas is the force that will end Thedas. Lavellan may be the sacrifice needed to stop it.

I hope you enjoyed this rant nobody asked for.

Oh and:

SOLAS! VAR LATH VIR SULEDIN!

Another set of pics for my best friend's never ending Dagon Age fic. This is Elspeth Cousland. She is now my canon Warden. Rouge boss bitch that is....Uhhhh I love her.

The first picture is her royal portrait. She is painted how Alistair sees her. A beautiful woman who handles shit. (Points to everyone who knows what the weasel represents.) If you look close she is wearing Alistair's mother's amulet on her necklace and has a rose similar to the one he gave her in the game.

Second is of course our adorkable king and his lady.

Third....no spoilers. In her hand is the redesigned Cousland sword she will be wielding.

Fourth is her leading the troops against some foes.

Fifth is Elle after arriving at Ostagar. Ya'll she has been through some shit. And this is a time when bathing and laundry was a chore.

Last picture is Alistair's POV of her after the joining all cleaned up in her new warden armor. (Cue romantic wistful music.)

I hope you all like this Ferelden beauty.

Head Canon: (probably wrong but I like it) So The Maker of DA is in fact the "Sun father" Elgar'nan overthrew. SPOILERS!

Hear me out. The Maker much like the Judeo‐Chistian type God created the heaven or in DA the Fade and spirits. The spirit had their purposes but were kind of a let down to Ol' Makerpew. These spirits, much like angels, did as they were designed to and the God figure kinda poopoos them for he next creation. Something more tangible than the spirits was created. Dwarves, humans, and elves (perhaps not them specifically as we know them in DA.)

Well the spirits (angels) are like "but dad why?" And Dad be like "cause I like chaos."

This bs doesn't sit right with a certain someone. Enter Elgar'nan. Or who would come to be known as Elgar'nan as he would take the name after. Elgy is like "hey dad this is bs. These beings suck compared to us magic wielding entities." And has himself a whole "anything you can do I can do better" moment. Kinda like...well...Lucifer. First born son badass that is just sickening. He chooses to take a physical form. Other spirits are like "that looks fun" and poof the first elves.

We know this to be the case as our bebe Keran says "I just don’t know why your people wanted to look like that." Implying they chose their corporeal form.

Back to Elgy and his lot. So here he is trying, like the emotionally neglected son he is, to win dad's approval. Which deadbeat Maker is like "no."

Elgy in his Greek tragedy brooding phase want vengeance on the one person he cares about. So his purpose of justice turn into vengeance. He is being treated unjustly so he becomes vengeance. A spirit's purpose twisted.

So Edgy Elgy has some spirit friends turn elves that support his mission to kick their pappy's divine ass. Problem is pappy is the creator of all. So it is more like a fly buzzing around an elephant. An annoyance more than anything.

The Maker who has had one foot out this whole time is all "fuckthisshitimout" and departs.

Elgy who has an ego the size of the Fade is counting this as a win. So he tells everyone he whooped pappy. "Over threw the sun."

What is the Maker represented as in the Chant? THE SUN! Sunburst throne, Chant of Light, etc.

So humans/Chantry have pieces of the story somewhat accurate. And Solas tells us some details that expound upon and debunk the elven myths. He even sheds light on the nature of spirits and demons. It adds up is what I am saying.

What solidified this theory for me was Cole and his ramblings "He did not want a body. But she asked him to come. He left a scar when he burned her off his face."

This is directly referring to Solas and Mythal. He was a spirit of wisdom Mythal called and had him placed or willed into physical form. Wisdom is too easily twisted to Pride. Solas=Pride. He was changed from his original form to a physical one twisting what he was. So Wisdom bebe sparkle sprite become sexy elven prince Solas.

I use this to show how old Elgy probably originated the practice. He usurped the Golden City to become Neoqueen Serenity....I mean All Pappy Elgar'nan. And his right hand Lady who knows how to chill a bit better than the others is his second or queen.

Over time everyone believes the Big Lie that OG Pappy is actually gone. Pay no attention the the sun that still rises and sets everyday my guys. And the first rebels become Gods in the eyes of those who just don't question anything.

That is my whole theory on Edgy Elgy and his rise to power. I have other theories that tie into this but I will leave this here for now.
