Headcanon: Solas is 5'11-6'.

Theory of the case: For all of Inquisition until Trespasser, Solas is doing an Apostate Slouch™ to appear more like a humble, unassuming elven apostate. Even then, he's taller than your average elf. From Trespasser on, he holds himself more like he is, aka, with good posture.

End of the day, this is my headcanon and I'm not claiming it's canon. It's not serious and the image "proof" within is iffy at best. This is just how I'm rolling on my blog.

The last three images are Veilguard spoilers. Tread carefully.

For reference, here's the apostate slouch in action. You’re not fooling anyone pal:

A note on the heights: Frankly, the Inquisition heights are a little all over the place, so they're not law to me. Everyone's posture in Inquisition also sucks but that's ok, it came out in 2014. But in the interest of science, I'll do an unscientific deep dive.

Here are the models. The person who took these photos said that the models for each character are the same height for every character of the same race/gender, so imo we can’t really use that (also his feet are pronated which is really bad for the knees/hips):

Same height as Cassandra (possibly slightly taller since she's in the foreground):

Hi Varric:

Solas is just shy of a head taller than Lavellan here:

About the same during the balcony kiss - she's looking up, he's looking pretty well down:

Here he's actually slouching, and they're the same height:

They're closer in height below - could be just to make the romance scene more cinematically balanced, or could this be a rare alternate form of the apostate slouch, the apostate shitty breakup slouch? (and, is this entire post an excuse to post my Lavellan? 60 minutes investigates tonight at 9):

This user put Solas side by side with the Sentinels. They’re a bit taller than the standard elves - here is an elven Inquisitor next to the hunched Sentinel guide. At best, Lavellan and old sentinel are the same height:

And here's Solas with the same. The angle's a bit weird, but you get the idea:

Here’s Solas (with a slight apostate slouch, please fix your posture) next to Abelas. About the same height, with Solas maybe a hair taller:

With Mythal, she's a human model and he's close to her height (factoring in the dual slouches):

For reference, here's Mythal-Flemeth with Garrett Hawke who is, as we know, a beefcake:

In Trespasser, Lavellan is closer to the camera and looking up. Solas is a good bit taller (but Karen, it's not that much taller! Well stfu. Also this is my favorite picture of him, it's so cold):

And finally, the reason I bumped him from 5'10 to 6'.

***********VEILGUARD SPOILER***********

Here’s Solas in front of Neve. The image quality sucks and the angle's bit weird, but he's about a head taller. She's a little closer to the camera in the first picture, but not by a significant amount:

For comparison, here's Neve on about the same plane as Emmrich (tallest save for Taash):

The end.

In sum, this is just my headcanon. I'm not claiming this to be canon and it's clearly not perfect. BUT since it's my blog, this is how I have his height. Ergo, he has two tiny adopted daughters.

i'm having so many bro and nanna feelings today i'm just lying on the ground sobbing thinking about their nonexistent relationship before the game

[bronzecats]

One criticism I have of the Homestuck Wikia, is the fact that Dad Egbert and Dad Crocker are combined into one page. Yes, they look the same and have a lot of the same traits, but one is the genetic child of Nanna and the never really mentioned Mr. Egbert, while the other is the genetic child of Poppop and some lady.

Therefore Dad Egbert is Nanna (Jane’s) son and Jegbert’s genetic half-sibling,

Dad Crocker is Poppop (Jegbert’s) son, and Jane’s genetic grandson.

Plus their outcomes are very different. Dad Egbert dies while Dad Crocker lives and goes to the new universe.

lesbian nanna icons!

[feraecor]

Nanna ran his pantheon on three separate occasions, ousting control from his grandfather, Anu and in turn his father, Enlil. The second being the longest ruling period until he stupidly believed his brothers that his father would not take control from them.

He never sought to have the power of ruling his pantheon, never wanted to take a "superior" position over his family. But it was out of necessity and to keep his children and wife safe from internal struggles. Nanna accidentally on purpose instilled a strong sense of self and purpose into his children, which resulted in most of them serving high positions in their godhoods.

Whenever he saw their positions threatened, or the blatant abuses of power that his grandfather and father were prone to, he would step in. Being a primordial lunar god made Nanna both powerful and feared.

All he truly wanted was to be left alone but he could never just sit back and watch others suffer. Especially when it began to directly involve his children.

why are all the john crocker alpha john poppop tags just ship stuff… You Are All So Boring

[grimme-and-specs]

Would u…… be so kind as to share all of your grimdorks headcanons……… *runs away at lightning speed*

Oh dude, I was WAITING for an ask like this! Hell yeah!

- John was initially very nervous or hesitant when doing anything with Rose and usually she had to make the first step in doing anything, due to a fear that he wouldn't be enough. Later into the relationship, though, he is quite confident, which always takes Rose off-guard (in a good way).

- Rose has John preview all her writing before she makes a new rough draft. He is very helpful in giving feedback and often goes on tangents about how much he likes it.

- They watch a movie at least weekly, and rate it on how much they enjoyed it respectively. This is so John doesn't go bonkers over his massive DVD collection gathering dust, and is a way for them to spend some time together.

- Partly due to how Rose was raised, she doesn't know how to execute most household chores (like cleaning a bathroom for example), even with the base knowledge of how they work. John helps her out and shows how to do them in the most efficient way.

- Speaking of chores, John is typically found singing to himself when he's doing them by himself. Rose likes to listen to him, up until he notices that she's there. Funnily enough, most of what he sings along to is rock and metal tracks and Rose is still attempting to squeeze out what his favorite band is out of the multitude he listens to.

(here's a sample of what I think he likes).

- John is surprisingly good at making food. (Probably inherited that from his dad and nanna). He likes to spoil Rose with his latest cooking endeavors, but not all of them turn out very good, so they end up with some laughs occasionally.

- Rose likes to infodump about everything to John, because she feels like he's the only fella that somewhat gets what she goes through as the Seer of Light. He really tries to keep up with her, which she appreciates.

- John is incredibly affectionate after gaining his confidence, especially physically. Rose is touch starved and never was used to having much physical affection in her life before. This often ends up in her malfunctioning as a result of too many kisses.

- Rose has no idea how to flirt and uses strange metaphors and similes when she is attempting to do so. It works on John, partly thanks to him being confused, and the fact that he thinks it's attractive that she has the confidence to say everything with her full chest.

- John still has trouble confiding in Rose about his own issues, but she can get him to open up eventually via "Therapeutic Strategy," as she calls it. (It's really just her psychoanalysis but more subtle and open ended, giving the chance for him to respond and open up on his own terms).

- They often duet with their respective instruments and shower each other in compliments, and sometimes they play for an audience! That audience is usually just their friend group, but everyone gets a good time out of it.

- Rose suggested pet names once, and John went ham on the idea. He constantly calls her stuff like "sweetheart", "firefly", "sunray", etc. She is never prepared and consistently gets blushy over these, but tries to come up with her own pet names for him. The only thing that's stuck so far has been "my husb-wind" and "specs".

- John is demisexual, and after he gained his confidence in the relationship and got even closer to her, he started developing more sexual feelings about Rose, which was a very pleasant surprise to her.

- They like to tease and flatter each other in public, but not to the degree where it's incredibly obvious.

- They're still raising Casey, her full name is Casey Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer after they hashed it out. I believe Casey at this point, would be about 10 years old. I personally think that Consorts would live up to human ages due to the nature of Sburb!

- Also, they still have Vodka Mutini. John still occasionally calls the cat Doctor Meowgon, much to Rose's amusement. Apparently, mutant ecto cats live way longer than your average cat.

- They would probably have kids of their own. I already have one fankid designed based off of a non-sburb fanfiction I was writing, but I stopped lol.

Euuuhhh yeah! That's about all I have for the one instance post-sburb that could probably apply to a lot of Grimdorks. Hope you like it!

The Fallow Mire 👀

ask meme - inquisition locations

Solas is decidedly not a fan, and not just because he has to slog through a corpse-ridden bog in bare feet.

This is a region he probably knows little about, because who in the world can get a decent sleep here amidst the squishy moss, terrible smell, and unrelentingly chill rain? The Veil is thin there because of the sheer amount of tragedy that's befallen from the plague, but most of the spirits we encounter are corrupted wisps or demons. Forget having a good conversation with those guys. I imagine normal spirits probably give it a wide berth, too, given that there's little positive to be found there.

As to whether it had any past significance that might be a hook for him, Solas tends to comment on places that have changed (in the Hissing Wastes, he says it used to be a forest). He doesn't do that here. He has surprisinly little to say apart from insulting the Avvar by lumping them in with 'Fereldens.' Add to his lack of context comment that bogs can be around, relatively unchanged, for a long time. Thus, I think it's a safe headcanon to say that the Mire hasn't changed all that much in the millennia he was in uthenara. Maybe less of a living graveyard, but no less swampy.

I also love his unsolicited comment: "We'll want to launder our clothes later. Or burn them." Get some shoes, my guy.

interested in your thoughts on RJ winning the companions eating dog food poll with flying colours lmao

Hey gamer, thanks for the ask!

RJ has a baby to worry about, he's not risking botulism and/or death for a taste of Purina NukaChow! He's a super cautious character; I don't see him eating it unless forced.

I wrote this in a reblog of the poll but I'll just copy paste this here:

-> I feel like Never Eat The Old Canned Foods Unless Absolutely Necessary would be somewhere in the top 15-20 rules for Surviving the Wasteland 101. Y'all ever been lectured on preserving practices and first in/first out in your Nanna's pantry or seen MRE tasting channels where dudes'll attempt to eat 70 year-old cans of food? Cans will absolutely preserve your food for a long time, but for the food to survive several centuries (let alone a few decades beyond manufacture), the cans would need to be in dark storage with little to no temperature fluctuations. Let's say the companions find one perfectly preserved can of dog food and each took a spoonful. If anyone did enjoy the flavour? I bet the entire group would have a sinking unease and a hyper awareness of bodily symptoms that would taint whatever enjoyment they'd get out of the experience. In my general Wasteland headcanons, everyone grows up hearing stories/being warned by elders about what could happen when you eat the bad canned food, which can range from far fetched-mutations to death-upon-bite - E. coli and botulism take lives even today, let alone in a Wasteland with less widespread medical education.

Anyway if you want to know how nasty of a business tasting old canned food can be, well, here

Choice quote: "I can smell that through the mask... This is going to be the death of me one day"

Alternative to show how really old canned foods can be fine, actually! A 1945 C-Ration stored in Alaska

Alright BEAR WITH ME this will be the first of many posts

I am here with Norse stuff!! Let me preface this by saying: All of my interpretations are for an AU that started with The Last Unicorn (wack I know). The witch Mommy Fortuna’s whole character in the book (and movie) is one big Nordic reference and I LOVED it so much it pushed me to research and dive into the mythos and MAN it’s my new favorite thing!! Since the mythology exists in universe, and I made some ocs for The Last Unicorn, I thought I would expand upon the Norse Gods within the universe and well.. it sorta spiraled until I made EVERYTHING. But just keep the fact this is an au, and not me claiming any of this to be factual, nor is meant to be disrespectful. 🩷

OKAY— now to explain get ready for wall of text infodump abt this au!

I figured I’d start with some Loki. Well, and Baldur! I had the idea to sorta write Baldur’s death as a romantic crime of passion— Loki and Baldur are together and a very unfortunate set of events and Loki’s classic emotional impulsivity leads to his death. I THOUGHT I was so original, turns out, I go to the library about two weeks after I come up with this idea and find Melvin Burgesses’ “Loki” retelling and WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS SO MAD (not really but just wow lol) and we both sorta had this thought of these two as lovers. So- art of them above! Feel free to inquire about their dynamic. There’s also art of them in a modern au as well mixed in here.

Anyways to clear some things up— Loki is poly (as a lot of you guys headcanon her to be, and rightfully so imo) and is in a rather large and convoluted polycule in my au. Loki and Sigyn are still formally married and happy! (And have their two sons as you can see at the end! Tangent: for the whole “Vali” confusion— I renamed Loki and Sigyn’s son “Nari” as not to be confused with the OTHER Vali) Loki is also still with Angraboda as well, though they are barred from seeing eachother (Loki often is capable of circumventing this and sneaking away to Jotunheim) and they exchange letters and gifts. Baldur *is* happily married to Nanna (who btw is FTM trans in my au let’s go 🏳️‍⚧️) but is also one of Loki’s paramours. They all know about each other and coexist and happy polyamory cures my soul because as a polyamorous person myself with too many awful experiences with it, I just want to indulge in some happy poly rep. Example of their happiness is Baldur watching over Nari and Narfi in the art above and Loki having a ♥️ moment ♥️ about it.

I could talk about this forever but I have so much more art to post and things to explain but for now enjoy the art so far !! I’ll post more, I’m just trying to explain cohesively and it’s harder than I thought 😭😭

[hosannan]

She wanted to believe it real, to manifest this perfect world that Lady Caeda saw Lord Leif chasing. "Do you see it, too? A perfect world removed from pain? From difficulty?" The melancholy, that sifted on light so warm, made her wonder exactly what it was that Her Highness envisioned. What was perfection to Lady Caeda that made her cradle her smile that way? "It is because we've experienced the world's scarcity that he aspires to the opposite. In many ways, it leaves me speechless, that he proves the world wrong by righting it. By refining his will unto something tangible." Nanna knew perfection by way of lacking. And she knew her lord was the same—though she wished (on stars, on gods, on dandelions—) that he saw himself the way she saw him. But... the way Caeda smiled... "Tell me, Lady Caeda..."

"As a lover, what does a perfect world mean to you?" (On skipping stones, on ladybugs, on coins in a well—)

Caeda's eyes sought hers out, striking sparks of joy in their unique kinship. "...Indeed! To think of the role any less would be to disparage an extension of myself. An extension of Lord Leif." (on white horses, on spare candles—) "I've loved myself a lifetime of good, in all the ways that make an old love feel new." (on sunflowers, on—) "And what of you? Has love changed you?"

(On him.)

Nanna (dark) & Ningal (fairy) for the pokemon thingy

Send me a Pokémon Type and I’ll make a Team for my muse using only Pokémon of that type.

Nanna's dark team!

Nanna's Incineroar was his pokemon, raising it from a Torracat and growing up with it. His Torracat and Ningal's Brionne at the time were actually how they met and fell in love at first sight.

Nanna actually raised his Tyranitar from an egg that was given to him as a tribute. Tyranitar has been with him almost as long as Incineroar.

His Darkrai was a pokemon respectation of his status as a moon god, attracted to the young god on a new moon cycle. Darkrai decided to stay with Nanna and has been with him ever since.

His Absol was with Ningal's Diancie in a distant mountain cave, feared by others and shunned from those who believed it was bringing disasters to the area. When Diancie decided to stay with Ningal, Absol followed them for months from a distance, not coming closer. Nanna would leave food outside for it, waiting on a rock every day for hours until it got hungry enough. Eventually the two bonded.

When their kids were old enough and responsible to have pokemon, the entire family adopted a litter of Eevee and raised them together. Each one of their children has their own Eevee evolution now, while Nanna and Ningal's each evolved from the deep bond they had with each other.

Shiftry was a bit of a surprise pokemon. Ningal came home with the Shiftry one day, pointed at Nanna and it instantly chose him as his trainer. While stubborn and very energetic, Nanna can be seen with Shiftry around the house eating snacks and hanging out most often.

Ningal's fairy team!

Primarina was Ningal's first pokemon, both growing up together and evolving together (both metaphorically and literally). Primarina has always been her best friend, someone to support and defend her when needed. She also brought Nanna and Ningal together.

She was given her Clefable as a baby in honor of starting a relationship with Nanna when they were young. Ningal raised her from a Clefa all the way to Clefable, though the pokemon does seem to have an obsession with Nanna. Ningal can't blame her.

Her Dancie was a welcome addition to their family, hiding away from poachers and kept safe by an Absol. Dancie took an immediate liking to Ningal and essentially followed them home.

Her Sylveon is probably the closest pokemon to her because it is always by her side, no matter what time of day. It refuses to go in a pokeball.

Fidough and Spritzee are both newer pokemon to her. Both were actually gifted to her separately when she started making it big as an influencer and her channel exploded. Both feature regularly on the channel for cooking videos.

[ns-sprite-editz]

The Dads are not the same.

Left dad is Dad Egbert, the child of Nanna Egbert (nee Crocker) and the unknown Mr Egbert, and half sibling to J. Egbert. This Dad Egbert is half white (Egbert) and half Duwamish (Nanna).

Right dad is Dad Crocker, the child of Poppop (John Crocker) and in my mind, a Ms Crocker (nee Egbert). This Dad Crocker is half white (Egbert) and one quarter Duwamish and Lebanese Arab (Poppop).

In my personal headcanon, there are fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, with the surname Egbert. In the original timeline, Nanna marries the male, while in the alpha timeline, Poppop married the female.

I haven't edited in a while, pain stuff, so here's a random, simple offering.

[bronzecats]

*Of the presented in canon boys, if you headcanon another character as a boy and ship them, click other :)

No Jake or John because of vague but not so vague incest via legal relations. (Condesce guardian of Nanna and Grandpa, Condesce guardian of Grandma and Poppop). No Dirk because, unlabeled but he's gay.
