#I suspect Lavellans answers in this scene finish out the musical phrases that solas begins but I haven’t checked

[hyperions-light]

I think I have to talk about the ending of the game in little pieces because it makes me too craaazy

Like I’ve watched it four times or something and it lights up my brain like a fucking fireworks display

(I’m talking about the solavellan one so Solas haters bail rn)

but one of the things that I loved was the The place I’m going is terrible/it won’t be terrible with you exchange

and like im happy to know they aren’t literally stuck in hell, thank you Trick

but to me it wouldn’t have mattered if they were because it’s about the “I’d go anywhere with you” of it all

I am thinking about the inquisitor standing alone on balconies when the celebration is over, I am thinking about her having to leave everything behind and then being LEFT

and I’m thinking about “I will always follow where you go,” but it’s finally about HIM. finally he is not giving up all his principles and his life and his dreams for Mythal, finally someone thinks HE is worth following— not Fen’Harel, not because of the myth of what he’s done, but in spite of it. Finally SOLAS is something somebody wants for no other reason than love. There is no power to be gained, there is no Wisdom to be sought. He is not needed, he is wanted.

I’m thinking about the piano room and his letter to her before the ritual, I am thinking about the tombstone that said ‘dying alone’

I’m thinking about togetherness as the ultimate reward, as the consolation. I will go and seek atonement/not alone

and lavellan doesn’t deserve a hell, but she would choose it for him

what display of love is more monumental than I will forsake that which I have earned because it is not as important to me as you

It’s so beautiful, it’s so tragic and mythic and lovely
