People saying Neve's voice acting is bad are pissing me off because its not, i think it just doesn't match up with who they think she is.

Like I think people were expecting the femme fetal from a detective story, she's not, she's the detective. Cynical, tired, and kind of a disaster. But warm, gentle and kind.

And I will never get over the delivery of 'I think you might be trouble' from her romance, Ms Clark floored me with that.

I love Neve I hate seeing people misinterpret her or say it was a bad performance because Jessica Clark did an amazing job.

Rook sitting Bellara and Davrin down all somber and they're expecting some sort of serious conversation only for Rook to go "I need you to teach me how to curse in elven. The common tongue isn't enough. I need to cuss Solas' ass out in his native language."

Emmrich is really a romantic who has dreamed of love and marriage for decades and never found it.

Remember, his parents died in a collapsed building when he was a boy, so if he had distant relatives, they never took him in.

He dreamed of getting married. Oh my godddd. "I always thought ..."

As if he's given up. It's too late, he thinks.

HARDINGGGG-

I fully believe him.

We know Emmrich dated a healthy amount. An Orlesian woman who was an art dealer is the one we know from convos with Lucanis. ("She taught me many things that summer.") It's also implied that the relationship ended because she couldn't commit in the 'long-run.'

Marriage.

And this gem:

"Sounds like you, yeah."

I mean, it would, yeah. Yeah.

(Source - seriously, these to have the best banter imo.)

People saying that Davrin and Lucianis hate one another and are mean in banter and people saying Neve is too mean to you if you chose Treviso Wouldnt last an hour in the asylum where they raised me:

solas loves lavellan because her wisdom reminds him of who he was before mythal, btw. so no, he wouldn't fall in love with just anyone who gave him attention or showed interest in his mind. he fell in love with lavellan because she was a wise, kind, open-hearted leader with a fat ass who reminds him of who he could have been if mythal hadn't broken him.

in light of veilguard, the valleslin removal scene as solas's turning point is fascinating to me

up until that moment, he has spent inquisition indulging in quasi-denial. he's lost a good proportion of his power. he has no authority. no one fears him or respects him. during that time, he is not and cannot be fen'harel

can you imagine how free he must have felt? he can't do anything about the veil in his current state. he tried, but it didn't work, so now he has to help fix the mess with corypheus before he can deal with the veil. that burden has been at least temporarily lifted from him

so he focuses on the present crisis. he does what he can: he fights alongside his allies (friends) and supports the inquisitor (vhenan) with his knowledge (wisdom). he is and can be solas

but etched into the skin of the woman he's grown to love is a horrible reminder of his true duty. he looks at her and sees either the tyranny of one of the evanuris or the debt he owes to mythal. and he desperately wants to erase that reminder. he tells himself that he wants this for her sake, so that when he tells her the truth and they face the future together, they will stand as equals

but he is so focused on what her valleslin means to him that he has barely given any consideration to what it might mean to her

and in the moments after, whether she has (perhaps somewhat reluctantly) accepted or refused, the realization hits him: he just encouraged her to change herself to please him

just as mythal encouraged him to take a physical body to please her

(when he first displayed his physical form, do you think mythal gently touched his cheek and said, "you are so beautiful"?)

and the spell he's been living under breaks. all that comfortable denial comes crashing down around him. he has not been solas for millennia. he is and always will be fen'harel

and he will not drag the woman he loves down with him
