#Nah I love solas

[sorcerous-caress]

I've found out that I can get attracted to bald elves but only if they happen to be economy savvy mothers (and a literal queen)

[mrs-gauche]

The Mirror of Transformation being at the Lighthouse is so funny to me, because for one, why would Solas even obtain that, and second, I now have to ask myself if he ever considered using it himself, but then was like "Where's the thrill and fun in disguising as a bard or whatever if there's not even a risk of getting exposed". lmao

[tortoise-teapot]

when would it be socially appropriate to make moth/biblically accurate solas my icon? im serious. a month more? two? a year from now?

I’m studying databases and in this video lecture, the guy is like “now this is probably brand new and very specialized information, but the information is stored at the smallest level in binary, and if we want to look at what each of the zeroes and ones mean, we need a hex editor”

me: “oh, you mean like hex editing, one of the only ways people had to mod hit 2014 game dragon age inquisition. I’ve edited the little ones and zeroes by hand before, so I have a hex editor downloaded"

the guy on the video lecture who can’t hear me: what

me: what

The Rabbit

Lavellan x Blackwall

18+ drug use (weed), dom/sub, thigh riding, breast worship (f!), rough oral (f!), multiple orgasms, rough sex, p-in-v, doggy style, dirty talk, squirting, choking, spitting, unprotected sex, violence, blood and gore, tearful goodbyes

The battle for all of Thedas nearly drawn to their door, Vella and her bear share an urgent night of passion before it all falls around them...

Masterlist, Prev Chapter

-

"Really? You never learned how to play Wicked Grace?" Varric gave her a dubious stare.

"Is that so unbelievable?" Vella countered, sidling up to the table. "How easily you've forgotten I'm a wild woman from the forest." She sighed with mock weariness, smiling at Blackwall as his hand came to her hip.

Cullen flitted his gaze as she plopped into Blackwall's lap.

"You never taught her?" Varric directed at Blackwall, that amused sparkle in his eye.

"Are you kidding?" Blackwall laughed, his wide hand squeezed her thigh under the table. "You thought Solas could play you out of the clothes on your back? Nah, I know a card shark in the making when I see one."

Vella scoffed in mock affront and stuck her tongue out at him. Cullen caught on his own spit at the reveal of her tongue ring. Suddenly, he was very focused on his cards after a few solid coughs.

"Oh, he's got you pegged." Dorian agreed.

"Actually, I'm the one-"

"Could we start, please?" Cullen cut her off, his face scarlet. "I have a thousand things to do."

Bull laughed behind his hand, giving her an appreciative wink as he pushed coin onto the table. Vella smiled and tossed her leg over her thigh, lighting a pipe of elfroot.

"You're going to give the poor man a complex." Blackwall laughed low, speaking Elvhen to her under his breath. Spreading his cards in his hand.

"If that's all it takes..." She hummed mischievously.

"Hey! No elf whispering." Varric chided. "I'm barely convinced you don't know how to play as it is."

"Varric!" Vella gasped, leaning on a palm. Giving the slightest wiggle in Blackwall's lap. "Have I not proven myself trustworthy yet?"

"Oh no, Sunshine." He warned in a tease. "You may be sweet, but women as beautiful as you are always cunning."

Vella smiled wide.

He was right, of course. She had never played this game, but their companions tells were easy told to her. Even more so as the drink started flowing. Her own imbibing herbs left her warm and fizzled, leaning back into Blackwall's wide chest as content as a cat in a sunbeam.

Vella smiled at Cullen as he spun a tale from his templar days. It was rather tame to her standards, but he told it with the boisterous joy of retelling something rather sordid.

"What did he do?" Josephine urged through a giggle.

"Saluted. Turned on his heel. And marched out like he was in full armor."

The table lit with laughter, appreciative remarks thrown from all sides. The air warm with drunken comradery.

Blackwall's hand had come to rest on the curve of her hipbone, giving his own rough chuckle. A slow but insistent drag of his thumb on her waist had started, a near unconscious sign of his hidden desire.

She couldn't help but agree. This strain of elfroot left her snuggly and needful, barely restrained from kissing at his throat at the table.

It was criminal how attracted she was to this man. At all times, in danger of rubbing into him like a beast in heat. Gods when they finally get to live together...

The thought intruded, as it was bound to.

If. Not when.

They were facing down Corypheus within the next few days, she was sure of it. Though she was without foresight, there was something tight pulled in her gut. A certainty that he was somewhere within her horizon.

But she didn't want to think about that now. Only focused on the warmth surrounded behind her and the sensation of being slow and soft. Blinking up at him in adoration.

His stare caught hers, smiling under his mustache.

"No need to stare at me like that, dove. I'm already in love with you, don't need more persuading."

"You two are so..." Cassandra sighed dreamily, face propped on both hands. Eyes aglow with the unabashed reverie only brought out with a few tankards of beer.

"Careful Seeker," Varric chuckled. "You might come off as a romantic. And I just won." He planted the Angel of Death card on the table nonchalantly.

"No!" Cassandra cried. Slamming her hand of cards down in a huff.

But all of their companions became peripheral to Vella as her body saught for more touch. Both the elfroot and the heat of his body had left her heavy and sighing. Nuzzling into his throat like a hungry kitten.

"Do you need my attention, little bird?" He teased under his breath. But she could feel the drum of his heart against her. He needed it just as bad as she did.

"Are you going to win?" She whispered in his ear.

"Absolutely not." He chuckled.

"Then throw the game and fuck me." The whisper pushed directly into the well.

His breath caught in his throat, and she smiled against it. Rising off his lap to give a demure goodnight to their friends. Many voices rung out to wish her off, and she sauntered away. Headed towards her chambers.

Vella made her way upstairs, humming happily. Shedding her clothes in a line as she made her way to the bed. Snatching one of Blackwall's tunics that she had 'borrowed' from the back of a chair. Letting the linen fall over her as she pulled her hair through the neck to cascade down her back again.

She climbed into the bed with the satisfaction of a rabbit in a burrow. Curling up in the blankets as it pulls the earth around it. Humming out in contentment.

She had just fallen into a near sleep tranquility when the bed shifted behind her. Strong arms taken up around her under blankets.

"Mmm..." She turned, pressing into him. "You're made for cuddling."

"Am I?" He chuckled low, pulling her to him by her waist. Weaving his limbs into hers.

"Very. So big and warm and sweet." She praised, wiggling happily into his hold.

"And furry." She added, tugging in a soft tease on his beard. "I just want to kiss you all the time. You're wonderful."

"Maker, you're going to puddle me." He accused, his pupils wide with love as he stared down at her. "That elfroot made you too sweet."

"And yet, I'm not being eaten." She sighed mournfully. "I thought bears liked honey."

The blood rushing through her body was utterly intoxicated by the feeling of him against her. Tangling her limbs into his and kissing at his throat.

"Do you want to be tasted, honey?" He hushed, voice husky with desire.

She nodded up at him, her eyes seeking plaintively.

She had always leaned towards dominance in intimacy, but he pulled something from her. Something soft and submissive. Fallen under him a tame little thing, asking to be touched with wide eyes and softly parted lips.

"You're so beautiful." He marveled quietly, running his thumb over her bottom lip. Scanning her face in reverent glances. "Maker, how are you so perfect?"

He leaned down and kissed into the side of her neck. A wide hand pushed up her ribcage to cup her breast, thumbing her nipple over his tunic.

She whined softly, pulling his leg with hers to press his thigh against her sex. Grinding slow into the taut muscle.

"Fuck, yes." He encouraged, pressing his thigh harder into the ridge of her. Grabbing her ass in a handful to rock her against him.

"Could you cum on my thigh?" His deep voice sweet in its request.

She nodded again, pulling the tunic up to her clavicle. Arching her chest up in unabashed request.

He agreed immediately, breathing hard through nose as his mouth descended onto her peak. Licking the sensitive nub into his lips.

She bit into her lip as her head craned back. Another whine caught in her throat. The growl of his moan against her tingled through her whole body. Her cunt fully flooded with arousal. Climbing closer and closer to her tipping point with each grind of her hips. Her soft cries getting needy and choppy.

His tongue slurped and popped around her nipple, tongue flicking and laving flat lines through panted breaths. Watching her under his brow with dark blown eyes. Twisting her other nipple between his fingers.

How he already knew how to fast pull her thread was entirely unfair. The points of her body and how they needed to be touched to unravel her completely.

"Oh gods..." She moaned, gripping his forearm. Orgasm tight pulled in the drive of her hips.

"Yes, cum on me pretty girl." He praised around her breast. Grasping the outside of her thigh, pulling her deeper. "I want to lick your cunt while it's clenching."

The vulgar of it sent her over. Shuddering through waves of pleasure striking out through her body. Clawing into his back.

He smiled, rising off her tender breast to descend between her legs. Cupping the apex of her thighs in both hands.

"So sweet." He sighed out in contentment as he nestled between. Licking her cum from her thighs. The bristle of his beard teased against the soft skin as his tongue pushed deep into her. Slurping obscenely as he lapped cum into his mouth.

"I love you." She sighed around her moans, pressing her hand against the headboard as he took her apart with a suckling tongue. "Fuck, I love you Thom."

She froze, the intoxicating herbs and touch had left her mind hazy. But her calling of his true name only drove him harder against her. His calloused hands dug into the fat of her thighs, moaning into her core. Yanking her flush to his face. Eating voraciously, tongue and lips crushing into her with animal fervor.

She whimpered cries, and he growled into her. His steel eyes watched her writhe under his brow. His fingernails dug painfully into her thighs, but the pain only danced deliciously with her delirious pleasure. A flood about to burst the dam.

He lapped flat at her tender clit under the suction of his lips. Just the sound was enough to send her over, but the ferocity was overkill. She came in a strangled, shuddered cry. Her body trembled and curled up with a terrible pleasure. Fisting in to the sheets as her head craned back. Pelvis the nexus of an earthquake that rocked her whole body.

"Ohhh fuck yes." Thom growled, leaning back to thrust his fingers into her still clenching cunt. Eliciting a cry from her as he fast slammed his fingers inside. "Give it to me, baby."

A shuddering she had rarely experienced tightened around his fingers. Her thighs wet with release. She clamped her hand over her mouth to muffle a shriek. Her eyes utterly lost in her skull.

Thoms deep groans of appreciation watching her soak him were only heightened by him pulling his fingers free slowly to lick them clean. He kept her gaze as he licked his wrist up into his palm, her cum slick veiled along his skin.

She urged him up to her with pulls of her legs. Undressing him with rapid fingers as he met her above.

She opened her mouth wide, tongue stuck out flat in request. He understood implicitly and spat in her mouth. Her cunt clenched hard and she led his hand to her throat as she kicked off his trousers.

His reverent love making was wonderful, but this is what she always craved. Fucking nasty and mean. The kind of fucking done by animals in rut.

His eyes flashed dangerously, understanding her again. Flipping her onto her belly easily, hiking her hips high with rough grunting yanks.

She moaned into the pillows, arching her back. Giving him the full display of her submissive body curled for him.

"Maker's breath." He huffed, taking a full handful of her ass. Spreading his hand down her lower back. "Such a beautiful whore."

Vella moaned loudly, and Thom grabbed a fistful of her hair. Pulling her up to him as he lined up behind her. Growling into her ear as his hand tightened around her throat.

"You're my whore, aren't you?" His thick cock breached her as he threatened, pulling a strangled moan from her. "My pretty little whore, soaking the bed."

She nodded dumbly, already fluttering around the mass of him. A third orgasm refining to a spear inside her, nearing to striking distance.

"That's right." He huffed, thrusting hard into her. The slide against that mind-numbing place inside her entrance was near unbearable. Her body tried to collapse against the sheets, but his hand spread flat across her sternum. Demanding her to stay.

"You're not going anywhere." He promised in a huff. His thrusts picked up speed. "Not until I'm done with you."

"Yes, ser." She moaned. The squelching of her cunt so salacious it made her dizzy.

"Keep talking." He demanded. Gripping her hip as an anchor. Her body jolting with the force of his thrusts. Fingers digging into her neck.

"I can't, I'm about to cum!" She pleaded in Elvhen around mewls, mind unable to speak Common anymore. "Fuck, you're going to make me-"

Her words cut off in a whip of cries as she came again. Fingernails scrambled into his sides behind her. Choking on her own raw pleasure.

He cursed under his breath and released her in a heap under him. His hands took up both sides of her hips to solely thrust.

"Say my name."

"Thom." She pleaded.

"Again. Louder."

"Thom, please! Please!"

She looked over her shoulder at the wild bear rutting into her.

"Please cum Thom! I need you to cum!"

He finally buckled, a hand bracing on her lower back as his face crumpled in release. Driving sloppy into her as he bellowed behind clenched teeth. Her cunt flooded with warmth, pulling a wide smile from her. No matter how he insisted and promised he couldn't help but to cum inside her. It wasn't a problem anymore, so she could revel fully in it.

He fell back into an open kneel, huffing and sweating. Eyes glazed and rolling marble in his head.

Vella turned and pulled him onto his belly. His body limp and pliant to her leading, following easily. Fallen under her in a slump.

She sat on him and drug her nails lightly up and down his back. His deep moan exactly what she was looking for.

After a moment of gentle scratching, his breath returned in slow pulls of his chest. Body completely loose under hers, arms curled around his head, face slack against the pillow.

"You still with me?" She teased in a quiet voice.

"Uh-huh..." He sighed, his eyes struggling to focus.

"I'm not convinced. Quick, what's the capital of Orlais?"

He smacked her thigh with a limp palm. Pulling a giggle from her.

"Asshole..." He laughed, reaching back to pull her down to him. Wrapping around her, cocooned within the safety of his limbs.

"Language!" She chided in a whisper.

"Shit. Fuck." He pinched her side. "Motherfucker."

"You forgot Shitfucker."

"I love you." He smiled loosely at her, eyes soft in adoration. "Do you want to get married?"

"What?" She laughed.

"Wait, are you serious?" She hushed, rising onto elbows over his head.

"Yeah. I am." He smiled, her hair fallen curtain around him. His hands rested on her ribcage, rubbing thumbs in slow waves. "Would you marry me?"

"Dalish don't get married." She smiled with a shaken head. "We call it Bonding. And we're already engaged to be bonded, silly."

"Wait, what?" He stood on elbows now. Staring shock into her.

"Yeah, I gave you my hair..." She led in amused confusion. Planting a palm over the small pouch that he always wore pendant around his neck. "You gave me the boots you made me..."

"That was a proposal?!"

She burst into bright laughter at the absurdity of it all. She was sure he understood the meaning of the gesture after all of their lessons. He certainly acted with the appropriate solemn in taking her proposal gift.

"Yes, it was. We've been engaged to be bonded since the Grand Ball." She offered through fits of giggling.

"I-" His eyes darted down in thought, then started flooding with tears.

"Oh, dove." He warbled.

"Hey, shhh." She wrapped around him. Soothing his body into hers. "It's okay..."

"It's not okay." He countered around the tight of his throat. "I did all of that to you and didn't even know we were..."

"I forgive you." She kissed his ear, tightly holding him. "I forgive you, Thom."

He hitched a sob into her shoulder. Trembling within her woven embrace.

-

"Come on, baby." Vella huffed under her breath. Firing arrow after arrow into Corypheus. Watching her love slam into him with the last of his strength. Shield braced under the hail of red beamed death. "Come on, come on."

She threw a barrage of daggers to get him off of Thom, Dorian flanking behind her to unleash his own hellfire. Bull rushing past to cleave into Corypheus' calf.

The monstrosity cried out in rage as he fell to a kneel. Vella ran forward, seeing her target through a tunnel of spectral vision. Dagger poised along her forearm.

Thom raised his shield for her and she leapt off of it into a drive of her dagger. Screaming from deep in her gut as the blade speared through his throat.

Corypheus' breath cut as he stared shock into her. The orb pulsed with power as he still tried to wrestle it into his command.

Rage untethered flowed through her, this death a culmination of everything she had suffered. Screaming in holy rage again, she bore over him. Pulling her dagger from his throat and ripping her teeth into the putrid flesh. Blood smeared in the cavern of her mouth. Teeth rending flesh.

The orb flew to her hand, raised high above her head. A deafening beam of power flew to the heavens from it. Shaking the earth below her as she tore away his throat.

As he fell limp, she released him to the Fade as she spat blood. The orb shattered above her in the same breath. Sky shuddered closed. Earth pulverized around her.

Thom's shield came over her body as the castle crumbled around them. Dragging her to a run as it all fell away.

She blinked the dust out of her eyes, coughing through debris in the air. Taking fearful count of her companions. Letting out a deep breath of relief when she found them all whole.

Far into the battlefield, Solas stepped forward. Reaching out a tentative hand as he fell to a kneel.

Vella stared in confusion as she rushed toward him.

"Solas, what are you doing he-"

His gentle cupping of the remnants of the orb paused her. His body leaned in a bow of mourning.

"The orb..." He hushed, shaking his head.

"Solas..." She reached for his shoulder, but he stood. Leaving the pieces to the earth. "I'm so sorry."

She understood the loss of elvhen artifacts. The gouge they left in the already ragged tapestry of their people. But, somehow, this felt beyond that.

He tried to pull from her hand, but she ducked around his front and pulled him into a tight hug.

His breath stilled in his chest, arms held out uncertainly. But they wove around her after a moment. His head tucked into her shoulder.

They stayed entwined there. His hands grasped her back as he pulled away. Eyes swimming in sorrow.

"No matter what comes," He looked down at her. Stepping away with eyes locked on her face. "I want you to know you will always have me."

"Solas, wait-"

"Vella!"

She turned at Thom's frightened call at her absence.

"Here!" She called in return. "I'm here!"

When she turned Solas was gone.

-

Vella stared up at his unfinished fresco, wiping a tear with agitated fingers.

"Hey." Thom's kiss on her shoulder greeted ahead of him.

"Hey." She smiled sadly. Leaning back into his chest as his arms snaked around her waist.

"Men I care about really have a bad habit, huh?" She looked back up at the gouge he had left. "Dissappearing."

"I'm sorry, dove. On both of our accounts."

"I hope he's okay." She sighed. "I just want him happy and safe, no matter what."

Something shuddered inside her chest, drawing her eyes down in shock. Jolting her breath to a still.

"Vella?" Thom came around her front. Searching her with frantic eyes.

"I'm okay, I think." She pressed a hand to her sternum. "It's the ancestors. They just spoke... sorrow? They've never given me only a feeling before."

No, this felt beyond them. Something larger. Full under her heart.

"Solas...?" She whispered, but the feeling fell away again.

"Fucking well..." Thom sighed, shaking his head ruefully at her. "Come on, love. We're almost packed."

"Oh shit, I've still got to say goodbye to everyone!" She paused their stride to take a paintbrush from Solas' desk. Slipping it into her pocket.

"I hate that you're leaving." Josephine sighed. "I mean, I'm happy for you! Happy for you both. But I still hate it."

"I'm going to miss you too." Vella smiled. "And I won't be gone. We'll be in, I'm sure, constant communication as I 'rule' from the sidelines." She curled her fingers at the word. The gold bracelet with an enchanted stone caught the light. "Dorian made us these special afterall."

Josephine slid her matching ring around her finger. "I know. Leliana and Cullen have theirs, too. But it won't be the same. You're such a calming presence. I don't know how many spats you can settle from the Free Marches."

"You'll do great." Vella cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead. "You'll all do great."

"Where are you going first?" Josephine urged. "I'll have Leliana send scouts to assure your arrival."

"Honestly, I have no idea." Vella smiled brilliantly. "Isn't that great? I'm not leading for once!"

"We're tracking down one of my men on the road towards Ostwick." Thom offered over her shoulder as he came up behind.

"Oooh, I'm good at tracking." She smiled.

"The best." Thom agreed, sliding his hand around her waist. "That's why I hired you."

"I hope I can earn my pay." Vella purred.

"Ugh, enough." Josephine laughed. "Get out, both of you."

Vella pulled her into a hug, and Josephine sighed into her shoulder.

"Call on me if you need me." Vella assured as they separated. Both her and Thom turned. "I'll find my way back, no matter what."

"Wait!"

Sera ran out of the castle door. Leaping into a hug on Thom's chest.

"You're staying! We've talked about this!" He laughed heartily. Hugging her tightly to him.

As Sera blubbered goodbyes into him, Dorian's hand came to Vella's shoulder. Nodding his own tearful goodbye on the road towards Tevinter.

She kissed both of his cheeks and wiped his tears.

"Don't be a stranger." He sighed.

"Never." She chastised. "You can't, either." She held up the bracelet again.

"Right. We're connected now." He sighed in mock weariness.

"Ha-ha! You have to be my friend!" She teased.

"Be safe." He pulled her into a deep hug. "Don't die, okay?"

"Love you." She murmured into his shoulder.

"Love you, too." He warbled. Wiping his eyes again as he pulled away. "Ugh! Go on. Get."

"That's the goodbye I was looking for." She smiled. Hopping up onto Ghilana behind Thom. "Good riddance, all of you."

"Hope your trip is terrible." Josephine laughed.

"Hope Skyhold falls into the canyon!" Vella agreed in a call. Smiling wide at her retreating friends.

She wrapped tight around Thom's waist and leaned her head into his wide back. Letting out a long-held sigh. Finally, moving forward in the quiet of two bodies. The earth awakening with the damp of spring around them.

Despite everything, daffodils had bloomed.

After processing the DA:TV news re: choices from prior games...

I'm still pissed. I kept defending this game against other long-time players, but damn it, they were right. The team said F the long-time fans, F the people who did multiple playthroughs to experience different world states, who have been planning their playthroughs of this next game, who have dug deep into the lore and play these games BECAUSE of the impact we can have on the world as players... F them all?!?!?!

My inquisitors are going to be all the same, won't they?! My Trevelyan who was besties with Solas but wants to stop him will be the same as my Lavellan who loved him and promised to save him. Or, worse, my Trevelyan will be shoehorned into "I HATE SOLAS" mode when really, there's so much more to it than that, and my Lavellan will be all "UWU SOLAS BB I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU" without delving deeper into her complicated emotions on the matter.

(I have other playthroughs, two, those were just my two favorites)

They said nah, F-off, we don't want to think too hard and want to pander to new fans. Worried about it being too complex? Then yes, have a default world state that new players can choose, like before!! That's fine!!!!

Pissed. PISSED.

[jams-sims]

So I just finished Dragon Age Veilgaurd and I'm convinced some very loud Gamers just don't want to play a game that just feels nice to play. Its like a nice bag of chips, I ate the whole fucking thing.

Anyway spoilers- spoilers for my ending and romance and general yappin.

I shoved Solas ass into veil- I have no history with him from the other games. Back when (the other da games) they were first released. I understood that Solas was one of the fan favorites, so I kind of went into this thinking I was going to become a fan- nah. At every turn this game chanted change is better. Letting go of the past, just means creating something new. Solas refused to change and at every turn betrayed Rook. I faught Mythal for no fucking reason that hard ass fight. Because I just tricked him, it felt way better for my scrappy Mourn Watcher.

There were moments where I could see the vision of Solas fuckers. He had some of the best witty dialogue. Also just the aguring between them was tasty at times. An then the ending happened and I was so fucking stunned. I kept saying "imma kill him," an even as I said that i was STILL feeling sorry for him. I stood firm though, locked his ass right up.

Hes the prefrect manipulator, he played on my emotions to the very end, very good job game.

My romance was Lucanis- I love him and idk how im gonna do other playthrough to romance anyone else. When he is so devoted and i love that so much. I talked about being emmrich girl and he turned out to be more of a best friend character for my Mourn Watcher.

All in all i liked this game- everyone giving it shit is just allergic to story thats not just fucking bleak all the gotdamn time. Sad shit still happened in this game. But damn- its like you can't enjoy some shit thats corny with out someone in your ear telling you how you shouldnt like it. Nah- we ball it was good i enjoyed it. This has been the first game i've completed this year.

[damallarky]

Ok. So. Just another silly little headcanon that would be cool to see in the game but most likely won’t be is… wait for it… Solas has a wolf.

Yes, Solas can probably turn into a wolf. That’s cool. I want that. But I’m talking about a pet. A companion wolf. Just chillin’ in the Lighthouse. At first everyone is concerned, because there’s a wolf in the Lighthouse, but then Solas is like “nah this is so and so, they’re cool also hey since you’ve already invaded my house can you go ahead and pet sit?” So now the gang has this massive canine as well as a baby griffon just running around causing chaos.

More thoughts:

1. Wolf needs a name.

2. Wolf probably likes a select handful of the team. Rook, for sure. Maybe Bellara and Harding.

3. Davrin (I know I’m misspelling some of these names it’s late for me lol) strikes me as an animal lover and wants the wolf to be his friend SO BAD but the wolf is like “nah.”

4. Wolf loves Assan though. To the Wolf, Assan is basically a younger, uglier wolf that needs to be taught The Way(tm).

5. I think it would be funny if the Wolf had it out for Lucanis. Idk why I love bullying this man so much but I do. Anyway, the Wolf is constantly destroying Lucanis’s things. There’s a cold war going on in the Lighthouse.

6. Wolf and Taash have a mutual respect for each other. Game recognizes game.

7. Wolf “accidentally” stealing one of Manfred’s bones and chewing on it.

Basically Solas needs a therapy dog wolf.

Like Old Times

Bruno (DI2) x FtM!Reader

Note: request done for @hyunjinbiased-blog I hope you like it!

_________________________________________

You kick a can off to the side, you decided to head to LA for the SoLA fesitival not knowing the absoloute shit storm that was about hit you and everyone else in LA.

Your mind wondered to the people you care for and one came to mind specfically...Bruno. A good friend of yours and also your ex, you parted on bad terms or maybe it wasn't bad per say but you did leave on unfinished terms to say the least. In times like this, you miss him and his stupid humour, you can picture it now of him trying to make you laugh while you worry about being zombie chow.

You sigh, you really did miss him and still loved him but god knows where he was now since the evacuation... you really hoped he got out of LA, you remember him talking about taking a flight back but you can't remember since so much went on since then.

You sigh once more as you kept walking on, you look to your left to see some zombies clawing at a vendor not paying any attention to you. You keep walking not wanting to fight, you turn a corner and see a pharmacy and decide to head in and look for supplies as your knees and feet were hurting from walking for so long. You take a peek under the shutters to make sure no zombies were in and crawled under. Once you saw it was clear you scavanged for supplies and while you were doing this you heard a voice, you curse and hide behind a shelf as you heard the voices come closer. At best, they were friendly and would leave you alone if you were caught by them and at worst they'd mug you or beat you up. You had your fair share of crazy people throw this damn thing.

Your heart pounded as you heard someone shuffle under the shutters and make their way in and a voice that you immediately knew had made your brain freeze for a second. It can't be...is it?

You heard a laugh, "nah, girl. We'll go in and get supplies and head back to yours, we'll be fine!" a masculine voice spoke. You peak around the corner and your eyes widened as you knew that beanie, those chains, those dreadlocks and overall fashion from anywhere.

"Bruno?" You spoke as Bruno jumped out of his skin and yelped making you chuckle, collecting his barings he looked at you and blinked, "(Y/N)? Is that you?!" a sudden smile appeared on his face as he came in for hug and so did you, the hug was held a second longer than your usual hug. You pull away, his hands on your arms, "I can't believe you're here! I...wait, what are you doing here, (Y/N)? Weren't you back in-", you interrupted him, "-Yes..but I came here for the SoLA festival and...yeah." You explain making Bruno slow whistle, "Ahhh... yeah the festival sort of got cancelled in it's own way. You know, zombies and stuff..heh" he chuckled but you could see him sort of shiver at the mention of the festival.

He shook his head and smiled, giving your arms a squeeze before letting go. "You look good, friend! Like...really good" you raise an eyebrow as you swore you saw him check you out before looking away sheepishly. You chuckle, "and you're still Bruno...", he raised an eyebrow now "is that good?", "very much so" you reply with a smirk as you both chuckle. You were both quiet for a second before Bruno spoke, "Aye...Cariño- I mean, (Y/N)..I know we had some...problems before all this but I-" you see him clear his throat, "-I'm glad you're okay, friend. I was worried about you..."

You can't help but smile as you see a soft look in his eyes, "I'm glad you're okay too...friend." He smirks at that and before he could speak another voice was heard on Brunos radio.

He picks up the radio and replies, "Yeah I'm fine. Met up with an old friend! Hey, you don't mind if i bring him along...", the voice on the radio huffed, "seriously?! I have enough with- ugh... fine as long as it's just him" it was a womans voice. Bruno give you a wink, "thanks, Emma." he turned the radio off as you look at him, "Emma?", "Emma Jaunt! I'm staying at hers with a few others" he explains and your eyes widened. "Wait...THE Emma Jaunt?" you ask, you've seen some of her movies. Bruno nodded, "she's a bit..prickly but overall okay." He chuckled, "you found anything in here?", he asks making you shake your head, "I just arrived before you came, wanna look around?", he nods at that and you two scope out the place before heading out.

The two of you walk along the houses in Berverly Hill and up to Emmas place, "still rocking those knock offs?" you ask smirking as you see him groan, "ugh...seriously? yes, I am. I hopes you forgot about that lil' fact" he mutters making you snort. You two are careful to avoid much trouble with the zombies. You see Bruno jump over Emmas gate and you follow, Bruno helps you down as you walk with him inside the mansion.

You were intrduced to Andrea and her family, then came amanda talking about her videos and how Bruno was her kick ass 'Bestie' making you chuckle and Bruno rub his head and sigh. You're then introduced to Emma, Michael and Sam, she was..something. No comment. Michael was pretty okay and Sam was...Sam.

It eventually got darker and you were on the rooftop leaning over the railing watching the zombies gargle and stumble on by, you sigh as your body was aching from so much walking but you finally found a safe place...at least for now. You feel someone lean on the railing next to you and you smile knowing who it was, "hey..." you greet as Bruno smiled, "hey to you too." You both looked out at the view, "it's crazy how fast things escalated, huh..." you hear him say and you nod, "yeah...lost some friends while being here..." you reply, voice quiet as you think back to your friends demise. "Tchhhh...sorry to hear that. I lost a few people trying to save them..." he says, despite Bruno being chirpy and a 'man with the plan', he was sensitive at heart and did care for people so when he couldn't save them it did weigh on him. You look at him and lean on his arm, you feel him lean back.

"I'm sorry..." you hear him say making you look up at him, "what?" He looks back at you, "I'm sorry for what I said before the apocalypse, when things went down...all I could think of was you." his voice was laced with a gentleness that only you recognised, he was being sincere. Your gaze softened, "oh, Bruno...I'm sorry for what I said too. When this all went down I was so worried about you. I know you can handle yourself but...I just wanted to pick up the phone and ring you..." you say, your voice breaking a little. You hear him chuckle, "aye...this zombie apocalypse really does make you think, doesn't it?" you chuckle at this, "it does and I'm glad it does...because..." You face him as he faces you, "yeah?" his voice is quiet, "because...I want to get back together with you, if you'll have me" you say, looking down at his shirt.

You hear him chuckle and you're pulled into his chest, you could smell his scent and feel the warmth that you were so familiar with. You wrap your arms around his waist, "Cariño...I'll run through a horde for you..." he says making you laugh. "Let's not get too crazy, okay?" you pull away a little, you look into his eyes before leaning in and kissing him softly.

You feel him jump a little before pulling you close and kissing back. You pull away a little, "so that's it then? We're back together?" you ask as he nods, "yeah...and we're gonna take LA by storm!" he grins as you laugh, "you idiot..." you say lovingly as you share another kiss, glad to be in his arms again.

[hoboblaidd]

For Solas and romance, I will say that I think the reaction I've seen to Solas' Veilguard romance card is a misinterpretation. Yes, Solas did not expect to fall in love during Inquisition. That doesn't mean he's never been romantically involved with anyone else. My guy's thousands of years old. It's simply illogical to think that the first time he was ever in love was Inquisition unless he truly was a spirit, but even then, he's clearly more 'human' than 'spirit' in the info we have about the rebellion. Just as illogical as it is to assume he's only ever been interested in women, especially since the only reason we have for him being straight is that Weekes was avoiding an outdated and incorrectly applied trope. Until I learn that Solas has always been a Practicing Heterosexual™, that's not how shit goes here.

Do I think Lavellan was his greatest love? I'd sure love it to be, I'm a sucker for a good tragic romance. But only? Nah fam.

[fangsandfeels]

Oct 27 - Favorite Inquisition scene/dialogue

I found the Doom Upon all The World to be a bit anticlimatic. It felt like "let's beat the old man up for the last time" rather than the final showdown. But, I generally don't find Corypheus a strong or intimidating antagonist. Maybe, he wasn't supposed to be an evil and manipulative overlord - he was meant to be that disfigured creature, clinging to the past (and actually having not a single idea of what he was doing which lead to the reality of madness we saw in the alternative timeline, but I wish the writers capitalized on that more).

But, I liked bits and pieces of the final quest:

Sybil responding to Corypheus speech about "let's see who is worthy of being a god" with "Nah, I don't believe in gods" and a shit-eating grin.

Also, Corypheus clutching his pearls at her response:

The aftermath of the final battle as Sybil reunited with her group and saw everyone alive and well.

And when her mood was instantly darkened by the realization that Solas was nowhere to be seen. That something very important to him went wrong - and she was unable to help him with that.

Also moments of companions interacting with each other in Skyhold are my favorite, just like the dialogues. It's hard to pick one, so I'll just give a messy recollection: Solas and Bull playing mental chess. Blackwall sweating bullets each time someone asks him about any Warden-related stuff. Cole broadcasting companions’ memories and inner worries much to our delight. All companion scenes from Trespasser DLC: from Varric pranking Cassandra on Sybill's and the Iron Bull's marriage to Vivienne taking Sybil out on a SPA day and Sera wrecking havoc on the background. It was a love letter from companion writers and I enjoyed it.

And a bit of favorite quotes:

Blackwall making a reference that made me laugh like a goose for 15 minutes straight

Sera: Do all Grey Wardens have beards?

Blackwall: No, just me. I stole all the beards... and all the power held within.

Blackwall: There can be only one.

Sera: Not really!

Vivienne turning the tables on Sera’s bullying attempts like the queen she is

Sera: Checked your drawers recently, Vivvy?

Vivienne: Hmm? Oh, yes, my dear. Although I was rather well stocked with that particular shade of viper. So I sent it back.

Sera: Sent… sent it back?

Vivienne: Yes. It should make its way to you at some point.

Vivienne: I was most concerned it might have difficulty on the steps, so I gave it legs. Six of them.

Sera: That's not… you're making fun, right?

Vivienne: Do you sleep with your mouth open? I should avoid that, it was heavy with eggs. Skitter skitter.

───────

Vivienne: Skitter skitter skitter.

Sera: (Shudders.) Frigging stop it, witchy pisser!

Cole causing Cassandra to bluescreen after spilling tea about Lambert

Cassandra: Cole, do you have any proof about what you claim Lord Seeker Lambert did?

Cole: I was there. I didn't need proof.

Cassandra: But he could have been brought to justice. There are rules...

(me screaming behind the screen: BUT YOU WEREN’T THERE WERE YOU?)

Cole: He used rules to hurt people. He always found a way to be right, even when he killed my friend.

Cassandra: You had a friend?

Cole: A pretty Templar. She died protecting Rhys and me, but she got better.

Cassandra: I... don't even want to know what that means.

Cole letting Bull know that his Tama is secretly happy for him because she knew that he was too kind and caring for the task Qun demanded of him

Cole: "Tama, how will I follow the Qun?" Her hands, strong but gentle, ruffles stubs where the horns will be.

Cole: "You are strong, and your mind is sharp. You will solve problems others cannot." She smiles, but sadly.

Iron Bull: Looks like my old Tamassran was wrong. Bet she's pissed one of her kids went Tal-Vashoth.

Cole: Agents with hushed tones. Eyes stinging, forms to fill out, course corrections, reduce risk of similar losses.

Cole: I remember the little boy, too wise, eager to help. Words break in small secret spaces. He got away. He got away.

Iron Bull: How could you know that? You've never even met her.

Cole: Your hurt touches hers.

Iron Bull: Well, that's, uh, creepy. But... thanks.

And, of course, Solas offering Bull comfort after he chose Chargers over Qun:

Solas: You are not Tal-Vashoth, Iron Bull, not really.

Iron Bull: Well that's a fuckin' relief.

Solas: You are no beast, snapping under the stress of the Qun's harsh discipline.

Solas: You are a man who made a choice... possibly the first of your life.

Iron Bull: I've always liked fighting. What if I turn savage, like the other Tal-Vashoth?

Solas: You have the Inquisition, you have the Inquisitor... and you have me.

Iron Bull: Thanks, Solas.

[3gremlins]

da release date trailer thought: yeah it looks good! kinda sad they went with a more generic paler masc rook as the lead in this tho...like teaser trailer rook looked so good!? and this one looks kinda boring/seen it tbh, like at least make them an elf/qunari/dwarf and/or femme or something if you're trying to show off a different rook. just feels like a step back/bit of a cop out. also making them sword and board, like i love paladins too but they're much more visually boring than rogues sorrynotsorry. my heart when the griffon showed up again tho. i fucking love griffons guys you have no idea T.T rn i like davrin, bellara and lucanis best so far i think...i'm sure i'll romance all of the companions at some point, but those three are in the lead for first pt. tho maybe someone will show up and surprise me early on lol.

possibly unpopular opinion? kinda meh on morrigan showing up again, like i do like her but i just don't need her in the plot line anymore. prob because i usually play elves, i really resented her presence in DAI with all the elven lore stuff like you know who had a great set up to be involved with this??! MERRILL WHERE IS MERRILL?? you all said her fixing the mirror would have big implications but NAH. rip da2 you had the best companions/story bones and deserved more love than ea wanted to give you.

ALSO MY BOI THE BLOOD DRAGON ARMOR IS BACK BABY! unfortunately have to pre-order for it tho T.T still glad to see it back again tho. also maybe snag the art book, i don't think i care about the big $150 package of stuff with no game (that seems like a bad deal and they really need to call out more explicitly that it doesn't include the game- like it's in the description but should be in the title/bigger)

also also- excited to see solas' wolfsona finally but a little worried b/c it looks more like a hyena monster and not a cool multi-eyed smoky wolf creature like it does in all the concept arts/in game lore arts. obviously just a tiny glimpse in the trailer but a little concerning (like hyenas are cool but not what i want here in this instance)

excited for october tho! halloween release date (maybe, we'll see if it doesn't get pushed back but still SOONish)

[nathanialhowe]

"regrets of a mother who knew she would never see me again" WHERE IS YOUR RAGEEEEEEE

RISE

RISE

RISE

WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING RAGEEEEEEEEEEE

why flatten flemeth so hard dude she rules as a character as a problematic and abusive mother like it rocks so hard. why do all that. toothless, dare i say TOOTHLESS!!!!!!!! sick!!!!!!

DID YOU KNOW THIS GAME IS ABOUT REGRET BTW?

i like tht mythals voice is all whispers and strange voices and not just like some stupid bitch in my wifes head though that was still fun and consistent with what we knew from inquisition. so much of this is stupid imo though. i found myself tuning out or losing interest and focus halfway thru LOLLL

also morrigan by proxy caring about solas and mythals relationship to the point where she wouldnt align against him is SOOOOOOO FUNNAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEE like you cant convince me even a high friendship'd/romanced/kieran-having morrigan would GAF about that shit!!!!!!!! tell me why she wld care!! damn!!!!

i Enjoyed the concept of morrigan having to reflect on misjudging solas during the events of inquisition and saying its "not a memory that brings [her] pride" cus its funnie to me though. i love how otherwise she sweeps that under the rug tho like

aint like that now...

honestly its so crazy cus i thought at LEAST morrigan would be written well in this game but nah....shes not even calling you a dumb stupid bitch its so sad....grrr i miss my wife...my forever girl....i wish flemeths relationship to her was done justice but HONESTLY even in inquisition it was heading down this path imo with the introduction of the "you were never in any danger child" BS but its fine i guess. i think mostly its just sad to me that flemeth/mythals actual rage and spite and hatred for the world is being downplayed....where is your rage.......
