#Adaar Inquisitor

[tarantula-hawk-wasp]

Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. - Robert Frost "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

got my tablet working again after 3 months, had to draw inquisitor Maera ft. elfroot inspired by this 1893 illustration

Change your mind

Solas/F!Adaar

Read on AO3

Summary: Asala Adaar has a few words with Solas about how he talks to Bull about the Qun.

A/N: just a little something between my inquisitor and solas before they're in a relationship. I had been tossing the idea around in my head and decided to write it down.

word count: 661

Asala  didn’t know how the argument started. She had only wanted to ask some questions about the Fade, and the next thing she knew, she and Solas were arguing about the Qun. 

“I am not saying you have to agree with him, but I’m only saying that maybe you don’t have to argue with Bull about the Qun every time we go out.” She pleaded. “Just…keep an open mind.”

Solas frowned “It is him who you should tell to open his mind, not me. I only wish for him to understand that the Qun-”

Asala cut him off, frustrated, as they kept talking in circles. “Look, I get what you’re doing, but who is that going to help? He grew up under the Qun, and he understands it better than either you or I ever could. You questioning him about it won’t change that fact.” 

“Just because you believe things cannot change, does not mean I do.” He said, harshly. “If you do not wish to question the status quo, you are free to do so, but do not ask me of the same.” 

“That is not what I am saying.”

“Then what is it?” 

Asala took a deep breath, calming her nerves. “I don’t know what I am asking, but I know this. Living in this world when you look like me or Bull is hard enough as it is. Everyone thinks we’re all savage beasts.”

She sighed. “And I don’t know how he feels, if he is even bothered by these comments. But we already get enough shit as it is and maybe, not being incessantly questioned about his beliefs and how they are definitely wrong, in your opinion, is not going to make him have an easier time.”

The frown left Solas face, as he tilted his head. “I am surprised that you would offer such understanding to him, seeing as the Qun does not look fondly to those outside of it.”

Asala crossed her arms. “Maybe it’s misguided, especially when this…understanding, as you put it, is not given to me or other vashoth.” She looked away, thinking out loud. “Because I really shouldn’t, right? I mean, the first time I talked to Bull here, he made a point of telling me we were not the same, when I was just trying to find a connection. Because me, my parents and my brother, and my friends, we’ll always be hunted down because we chose not to follow the Qun. We’ll never belong to the only other group of people who look like us.” 

She looked at Solas, and he remained silent, his expression neutral as he listened. Asala continued rambling. “Understanding is all I can offer, even to those who don’t deserve it, because then, I will be just like them. Close minded and my efforts will be for nothing. I can’t change Bull’s mind, or every Ben-Hassrath’s mind by debating them, but I can hope that by listening, and by acting against what they believe of me, they could maybe…” 

Asala shook her head, uncrossing her arms. “But perhaps it doesn’t matter, right? Because no matter how many people I help, I’ll still get called oxman behind my back, and people will never change their minds about the qunari.” She rubbed her face. “I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. Keep doing what you want, I guess. I’ll go see if Cassandra needs anything.” 

She turned around, marching to where the Seeker usually was, when a hand touched her wrist. “You’re wrong.” 

Asala sighed as she looked at him, not ready for another debate. “Solas-”

“You have changed minds. At the very least, one. Don’t think your actions are for naught.” He told her. “Our conversation was…enlightening. I will take what you said into consideration.”

“I…thank you, Solas.” He gave her a tight nod before walking away. She gave herself a small smile before shaking her head and going to find Cassandra.

not to be thirsty on main but Blackwall/Thom Rainier's post-redemption romance tarot card in Inquisition is the single hottest piece of video game artwork ever rendered.

Its so beautifully possessive. The glowing hand over his heart to me says 'I am hers', body and soul.

11/10 romance, so glad my Lavellan romanced him in my canon world state.

Dragon Age tarot style portrait commission of an Inquisitor Adaar! Love going ham with textures <3

[abyssal-ilk]

something something the inquisitor's hand becoming a holy symbol that people can't help but want to look at, to touch, to kiss like the rings of a king. nobles grasping at the inquisitor's wrist during the halamshiral ball, nails like claws. soldiers clasping hands with the inquisitor, hoping for just a glimpse of that holy protection to shine upon them before a battle. commoners dropping to their knees and pressing their faces against the inquisitor's palm for mercy, for protection, for vengeance. do you see it.
