some shippers when solas has had important relationships from thousands of years ago and he can't just forgive himself for failing those closest to him then and go "okie dokie!" when his wife tells him he can come back home

#dragon age fandom critical #solavellan #im sorry some of you are not serious he literally says in the cutscene i wish ur forgiveness soothed my faults but unfortunately #hes been on this path for CENTURIES before lavellan was even born like yes he would like to apologize to mythal #AND HE LEFT LAVELLAN CLUES BC SHE WANTED HIM TO TRACK HIM SHE WANTED HER TO STOP HIM #unfortunately sometimes you kinda need your best friend turned master turned opp to say it's ok #like she literally came in went well lolz we both fucked up teehee i release u from indentured servitude PCE #and some of u are still mad #RELATIONSHIPS DONT EXIST IN A FUCKING VACUUMM!!!!!!#mind you mythal got betrayed by her own deranged husband who then got locked away and she was lobotomized #and then after she protected her people in this new world solas showed up and went well im bombing it #LIKE UNFORTUNATELY. SINCE HE KILLED FLEMETH HE KINDA NEEDED TO ATONE FOR THE NUMEROUS GRIEVANCES HE CAUSED IN MYTHALS LIFE TOO #also like even tho it was mythals choice to follow her husband and it was her own undoing #solas as a spirit of wisdom who knew better and warned her still thinks he failed her and not vice versa bc it was his Nature.#i also think it would be largely out of character for solas to just go okie after lavellan forgives him #he literally broke up w her bc he felt he was betraying this path of repentance he made up for himself #he wished it was as easy to just cast aside & get over it and adapt like mythal clearly has but #in his core he feels deeply. his regrets his losses his pain. he is a spirit #he is not a man. he is weighed down by emotions the mortal coil cannot comprehend #it is also why he did not want cole bound or inq drinking from the fountain #he made a choice and he failed and he carried that burned for centuries #he would not have that thrust upon someone else #and he also cannot wash away the guilt without confronting it. and he hasnt been confronting it until hes trapped #and even then his last confrontation w mythal b4 vg was when he gutted her to seize power and do what HE thought he must
