A rest day isn't enough. I need one billion years alone in a crystal.

do varric’s opinions on mages v templars change depending on da2 or what’s the deal

[elvhenprince]

@skip-the-clumsy-dragon inspired me... also a callout @ myself lma o

"Wha-?" Varric managed groggily, rubbing at his eyes. He glanced at the bedside clock, which informed him far too brightly that it was almost three in the morning.

"-ridiculous," he heard clearly, but the rest was a string of mumbling. He groaned and swung out of bed, trying to shake the cobwebs from his mind before attempting to stand up.

"That fucker," he muttered to himself, sighing. He grabbed a robe - it was cold in the house, and very warm in bed - and shrugged it on, pulling it uncharacteristically tight. But, again, cold.

As he managed to make his way out of their bedroom, he saw Solas exactly where he expected. Sitting at his desk, laptop casting a blue glow across his features, looking...

Pointy.

He was all sharp angles in his irritation. Legs crossed, chin in hand, elbow braced on the table, typing rapidly with his free hand. "Solas?" No response. He sighed and trudged forward, bumping into the other man when he got close enough.

Solas jumped and made a sound that Varric was determined to never forget. "What are you- oh." It was always strange to see Solas looking sheepish, but here they were. "Sorry. I woke you?"

"There's that deductive reasoning I love," he shot back dryly, Solas smirking. But after a moment the expression fell away and he settled back in the chair, gesturing at the screen.

"People are infuriating." Varric blinked at the screen - also way too bright for three in the morning - and sighed. Then he reached forward and grabbed the mouse, clicking that delightful little X in the corner. Solas made another really brilliant noise, some kind of disgruntled...

Well, Varric wanted to call it a squawk. Solas would hate that so much.

Squawk it was.

"Yes," he told his love, "yes, they are. And so are you. Now come to bed."

"But I-"

"Have to tell everyone they're wrong, I know."

"Varric-"

"Oh, I know, Chuckles. Just trying to get them to see reason."

"Varric!" He actually sounded put-out now, and Varric relented. A little.

"Come to bed. You can tell everyone they're wrong tomorrow."

"But they're wrong tonight." Solas' tone changed, though. He wasn't fighting it anymore, he just needed to be convinced.

"And I'm sure they'll be equally wrong tomorrow. Aren't you?"

"Well..."

"Come to bed."

"Fine. But on one condition."

Varric sighed, then flapped a hand in defeat. "Name it."

"I get to tell you why everyone is wrong online tomorrow. At least 15 uninterrupted minutes."

"Fine, but only if we're asleep before three-thirty."

"Hmm." Solas made a show of considering it, then grinned. "Deal."

i haven't played dao in a really long time but my most important opinion is that i think mahariel should have made zevran the dalish gloves. it would just be really cute ok.

[elvhenprince]

in the art book it's mentioned that they considered having morrigan and isabela as dai-style advisors, and you know what that means. ultimate-sacrificed or succumbed-to-the-calling hof-romanced morrigan and left-in-the-fade hawke-romanced isabela middle-aged widow yuri. is what that means.

[elvhenprince]

varric’s relationship to rook is so funny bc with hawke he’s like, the world has done ENOUGH to you, you’ve been dragged into enough fights, i will risk my life lying to the most powerful in the land to keep you out of further trouble. and with the inquisitor he starts out by telling them they should think about running bc he knows how these stories end, and finally in trespasser he’s trying to set them up a place in kirkwall for when everything crashes and burns. and then you get to rook and he’s like, well random talented stranger, this might as well all be your problem

gross!!! disgusting!!!!

sharing what my solas and felassan sims have been up to (my live reactions were all in discord)

the falling out of felassan and solas in real time:

felassan and solas' relation were taking a downturn, even tho they both really like that cute lavellan boy:

Felassan isn't always happy about it though

i had to take matters into my own hands, so i went away from the lavellan household and decided to control solas and felassan directly, make tweaks into their traits and hopefully have them not completely break up or actually kill each other

uh oh, ive got a lot to work with

while trying to fix their relationships etc, this then happened to solas:

to help solas deal with all his feelings afterward, i got him to start with his favourite coping method, painting...

wait

wait, solas, is this-

oh my god YOU SADLY PAINTED THE BLACK CITY?!?!??!?????

if this was sadness ambiance: 6 then i wonder what was the sadness ambiance of the "i killed flemythal" painting. what is it, solas.

Meanwhile, their relationship is.... getting slowly better? maybe? i'm going back to the Lavellans now and hoping the small tweaks i made will help them get back on track to being buds

also addition: target felassan (since pina finally posted that pic yes its from here)

[elvhenprince]

drops target felassan from the discord

[elvhenprince]

when you find a friends oc hot thats literally it for you. they practically own your soul. youve entered a fail state in which they can put on a sockpuppet and do a silly voice and make you swoon like youve locked eyes with a gorgeous fortysomething dyke at the bar

[elvhenprince]

i just don’t have the employable spirit

[elvhenprince]

Alright, here it is. I had this image of Solas forgoing magic and just beating the straight shit out of Elgar'nan. Idk, I just think it would be healing for him in a way… I also desperately miss the design of the original idol, so I decided to incorporate that as well. What we get in the art book is less dagger and more short sword, so I combined the two (vg and joplin) to create a hybrid idol/dagger.

And for the girlies who asked, here he is with his wig on, just for fun.
