@hedonistrevolutionary Oh WOW, thank you for this comment! I didn't know anything about this, and while I couldn't find anything on whether or not this comic series from the 70s actually had any influence on Dragon Age, it certainly led me down a very deep, interesting rabbit hole. 😂
Like, literally me while reading the synopsis of some of this comic's story elements:
And I can't help but imagine an alternative universe now, in which Dragon Age came out in the 70s and the Evanuris look like this...
....Arlathan looks like this...
...this is Fen'Harel...
Oh, and we might have found the original Solavellan lmaoo
#this was fascinating thank you so much! 😂#and this comic is apparently still ongoing? wow!#elfquest#dragon age#solas#solavellan#evanuris

Let’s start with the first romantic coupling we see in ElfQuest: Nightfall and Redlance. Also in frame are two more members of the ❤️ ⭕️, Cutter and Skywise, but they have a lot of story ahead before their relationship collectively becomes deep enough to coalesce into a group bond. For now, this is the OG love on the page.
It’s wild to see letters in the back of the original ElfQuest issues wondering if the female elves were also warriors and hunters. Oh honey, you don’t even know what you’re reading yet! But it makes sense - the Wolfriders are in crisis when we first meet them, so we don’t see them in their normal roles right away.
Nightfall’s only concern right now is that her lifemate Redlance could still die from the effects of being tortured by humans.
The Wolfriders are forced to flee the only home they’ve ever known as the humans burn the forest down. Tricked into a desert trek, Redlance has no time to recover, and Nightfall won’t leave his side - even if the others must go on in the hopes of finding water.
The second printing has extra scenes, including this beautiful page (above) of backstory, showing Nightfall’s precious memories of their love.
The fifth member of ♥️ ⭕️ - Leetah the healer - enters the picture (more on this in the next post).
One of the key aspects of being a Wolfrider is having a soul name. We later learn that other groups of elves never developed this psychic protection, hand in hand with their advanced telepathy, in order to survive continual conflict with humans (and more).
Soul names are normally kept secret, even between lifemates, unless the mystical phenomenon known is as Recognition suddenly strikes and reveals each other’s soul completely. To voluntarily give a soul name to another is an act that goes beyond mere love.
As readers in 70s and 80s, it was refreshing to see what could be viewed as an inversion of our gender stereotypes - Nightfall the skilled huntress and fierce warrior, Redlance the gentle shaper of green growing things. Yet this never meant that Nightfall wasn’t nurturing and warm, or that Redlance wouldn’t fight with every ounce of his being to preserve life by any means.
Below, he relives the nightmare of losing their forest home to fire - but this time he can do something about it.
Whatever support is needed, that’s what the other person offers.
Even if it’s just being nearby when your beloved is trying something hard.
Get yourself a Nightfall. And/or a Redlance. Who knows how you might grow with loving support?

When Eyes Meet- Midorima Shintaro
A/N: Finally, I get to cover the last guy in the series! Woohoo! I'm chosing to follow Midorima's POV instead of the reader's for this one, because this concept is right up his alley. Aomine- Kise- Murasakibara- Akashi- Kuroko- Kagami
For as long as Midorima could remember, he had cracked open history books and studies, all to find answers for the question that had been plaguing mankind since their existence. How did Recognition work? Recognition, the fabled phenomenon where two people would lock eyes, and instantly exchanged the very names of their souls with the person destined to be their love. No one knew how people could know the names of ones soul through eye contact, what triggered the phenomenon considering some people knew their love since childhood whilst others would Recognize upon first sight. Midorima had read countless of theories about it, but he could not know wether the held any merit, because Midorima still hadn't Recognized himself despite trying countless ways to attract his future wife. Midorima wasn't the most romantic guy, but the minute someone had informed his tiny self that someday, he would find the girl of his dreams through a tried method, he had been waiting for it to happen. He had dreamt about how it would happen, wonder how she would look like. Midorima was reading yet another study at the Shutoku library, having already done his homework he was burried in another book about the subject yet again. "Still reading these books, Shin-Chan?" Takao asked from behind him, spooking the green haired boy. He whirled around annoyed and saw Takao was with his usual small friend group. They eyed him with their friendly smiles, one more teasing then the other. Midorima didn't had true close friends in Shutoku, except for Takao. The rest of the gang were more like casual acquaintances he hung out with from time to time. They consisted out of a boy named Kyoyama Ryu, another one named Toya Keisuke and his sister Rinka, and you. Keisuke scoffed at the book. "You really think you're going to find the love of your life if you're stuck in the library all day?" Rinka hit her brother. "At least his grades aren't failing the way ours are, nii-chan." You giggled and decided to sit in the seat next to him. "I don't think anyone would want to trade with your grades, Keisuke-kun." You teased and Midorima couldn't help but think you had such a lovely grin. Your playful expression was oozing with charm. "Well, what do you guys think how it happens?" Whilst everyone in his group was as soulmateless as he himself was, he figured asking the question would do no harm. Keisuke scrunched his nose in thought and Takao hummed as he thought about his own theories. "Maybe, it's seeing someone for who they truly are." Your answer came immediately, like you had thought about it so much that you didn't even needed to think about your theory. Midorima looked at you in surprise, your simple answer felt like a pretty satisfactory explanation. 'If eyes really are the windows to the soul, then that's a decent theory,' Midorima mused. He looked at you, and studied your frame. If he could be honest, you were the one from Takao's friend group he liked the most. You were the type to always come with an answer or a solution to the questions he had, thinking outside the box. With you, he felt like his musings and worries always cleared like the sun, giving him time to think of other things, like how soft your hair always looked. If he were less reserved, he would have asked you for your contact details long ago. "Ey y/n-san, I bet you've got a clear idea of the guy you're gonna Recognize huh?" Rinka asked as she flopped down on your other side. "Not really. Every time I try to picture what kind of guy suits me, I just end up lost and confused." "Well someone smart enough to match you. Someone steady, who's probably traditional but not in a discriminatory sense. You know, like Midorima." Rinko had spoken her mind before she realized how awkward her words were. As your eyes fluttered to Midorima, curiously, he peered into your eyes and found to his shock that a name bubbled at his lips. And he instantly knew, that it was yours.
