RIP Solas another victim of "characters being misunderstood by the fandom in the same exact way other characters misunderstand them"
#🌞#🎮#Deep breath in.#Okay I've been out of the loop with the fandom literally since 2014 or so. So. I do Not Care as deeply as I could. But also.#I know it's unavoidable in big fandoms because yeah there will always be that one guy who straight up played a different game than you.#Ultimately personally? I think going any //extra// with Solas is misunderstanding his character.#As in based on his interactions I think HE would heavily discourage either villainizing or overly elevating him.#Assuming he's a selfless freedom fighter and nothing but is as wrong as assuming he's a genocidal maniac and nothing but.#Ultimately I think fandom-wise he's the victim of people /refusing/ to consider a different perspective and instead treating it as#'bad writing' which is like. Not the same thing. Unreliable narration and deceived expectations are not... bad writing?#Also the hating part of the fandom suffers from tropification a lot. Like it used to be the problem with Anders and it is a problem w Solas#Like oooh you REALLY want him to be the maniacal villain and you think every other bit of writing about him is wrong bc of that. Aight.#Solas will always be 'yeah he did all that and he literally knows it but absolutely not for the reasons you ascribe to him'. To me.#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#da:i#solas#solas positive
