Omg your blog is such a relief. Every day I feel more and more like I want to distance myself from about 80% of the Solavellan community bc I am telling you it is ROUGH being into the egg and wanting to talk about him but being surrounded by people who think that everyone and their mother is out to get them. Meanwhile someone can come up with valid criticisms about how Lavellan's characterization was handled in VG and get swarmed with unsolicited opinions about solrook shippers and accusations of misogyny. I also see them running around in posts that are clearly marked as "Critical" And half the time when I CAN talk to them about Solas it's like they aren't even talking about the same character I am? They want him to be some helpless little abuse victim who isn't responsible for anything he does??? Why are we redeeming him if he did nothing wrong? What would be the point? We love him because he's fucked up and a manipulative bastard but also complex???? Did we play the same game girlies???

i have been staring at this ask since it came in trying to find a normal way to respond to you anon i will be so fr rn so i am so sorry it's taken a few hours

i’ll start with this:

“Why are we redeeming him if he did nothing wrong?”

full stop. this. so much. (i am in love with you anon) why is there a atonement/redemption ending if he did nothing wrong? (you’re literally so real) solas has done horrendous things. like genuinely abhorrent. (i crave to be your friend so bad anon) he is a genocidal, serial killing, manipulative lying cunt. to say the least. AND THAT IS WHY I LOVE HIM. he has such complex characteristics that make him so intriguing. he wants to be a good person. but he doesn’t really know how to be genuine. he is riddled with guilt and regret. he feels BAD about the things he has done. but he doesn’t want to face his mistakes. he knows he has done absolutely terrible things in the name of his people and their liberation, things most of them never asked him to do. some even asked him to NOT DO THOSE THINGS. did he listen? of course not! this is solas we are talking about. arrogant, prideful, calculating solas.

“They want him to be some helpless little abusive victim who isn’t responsible for anything he does.”

yes. yep. THIS SO BAD. (genuinely let me be your friend pls i am on my knees begging) the dynamic between solythal gets convoluted by most solasmancers because of three things: misogyny, jealousy, and ignorance. was there abuse? yeah. not denying that. was there only abuse? no. mythal was a victim of abuse herself. the way she learned to love, she passed down to solas. BOTH were victims of abuse who did terrible, no good, awful things. BOTH were also extremely powerful, omnipotent, and power-hungry individuals. mythal's hunger for power showcased differently than solas' and was amplified (IMO) by elgar'nan whispering in her ear. solas had felassan to keep him in check.

i am of the UPMOST certainty that had solas not taken down the evanuris the way he did and went to sleep after creating the veil, he would have become another tyrant ruling over the elven people. (THE MASKED EMPIRE ANYONE? HELLO? HELLOOOOO?) also anyone who says she was his MOTHER or SISTER?? god please drown me. put me in a tub and hold my head under water. that was his PARTNER AND HIS LOVER. i cannot with the takes that she raised his ass COME ON. i have sooooo much more to say about this dynamic and the themes of abuse AND how solasmancers twist it to make her this most evil, vile, horrible woman; but i would like to keep some of my followers tbh (anon i am frothing at the mouth if you want to discuss this further i beg you to dm me) so we shall move on.

"...valid criticisms about how Lavellan's characterization was handled in VG..."

yeah full stop i will never forgive them for making her one personality type. sorry, i just won't. my lavellan egg-mancer was a strong-willed and angry proud dalish woman who told solas off every chance she could! i am genuinely so happy people who wanted the dynamic we got in VG got that, because that is how their lavellan is/was, but what about the lavs who punched him? who told him to stop being an asshole about elves, and just farmed approval for the romance by asking questions? i chose to hunt his ass down BECAUSE I WANTED TO HUNT HIS ASS DOWN! my lavellan would not be so understanding or forgiving, she just wouldn't, so it feels like my girl's personality was ripped away from her fr. now, i DO NOT agree with some of the takes on how she was presented because those criticisms are in fact riddled with misogyny and most are just downright vile. but i do agree with the criticisms that not all lavellans would have been so kind to that bald man.

so anon, TRUST me when i say i feel you so bad. i was in lots of solavellan spaces before i started shipping dreadrook, and even then i was looked at SO funny for my takes on the romance and called plenty of terrible things simply because i didn't hold solas up on this pedestal and make my lav worship the ground he walked on. even as a dreadrooker, the same exact takes that i couldn't get behind in solav spaces are very prevalent in dreadrook spaces. solasmancers have a tendency to simply agree with solas on everything and refuse to acknowledge how bad of a person he really can be.

i am a proud solasmancer AND a proud solas hater. #1 solas hater, in fact. i rarely have positive things to say about his actions and behaviors outside of a joke setting, and even in a joke setting the things people will say to defend him RUB ME SO BADLY THE WRONG WAY. also heavy on the perusing the "critical" tags and getting offended when my takes are, in fact, critical LMFAO. anon i am literally a beggar sitting on the side of the street waving a metal cup at you asking for coins of your affection rn. i have maybe one other friend who feels like this and have hardly anyone to rant about these things with. holding my hands out towards you and begging you to dm me fr. PLEASE. we can be critical together <3

Something so devasting abt realising a blog that u sometimes reblog from actl fervently hates one of your faves

[the-oracle-of-the-lost]

banging my head against the wall while i say: "relatability is not the be all end all of writing a character. saying that you don't find a character relatable/you wouldn't have made the same choices does not mean something is poorly written. you actually should go out of your way to engage with media about people who are fundamentally different from you because it helps you learn about others."

So going back to that AU idea where Coulson and May were the agents to pick up the 084 back in '89 (aka baby Daisy)...

At that point, I think paperwork for the details of the mission would be just that: physical paper and not yet digitized, right? I would imagine there would've been maybe a file with written information... And possibly photos... So let's indulge that idea for a moment.

~~~~~

It's after Coulson and May hand over the baby, the 084. Coulson's gut drops bc he didn't want to leave her with a bunch of scientists that might treat her more like a lab rat than anything else... But at one point, he runs across a manila folder somewhere marked CLASSIFIED with a recent date... He flips it open... And it's hers.

Nothing has been redacted yet. There's his mission debrief, a medical report, some analytical technical gibberish he can't quite decipher but he thinks it might say something along the lines of 'we can't seem to find any anomalies of this 084.' And there are several pictures to document the '084,' tucked safely under a couple paperclips along the top edge of the paperwork. Pictures of the baby....

Coulson looks up. The very few bodies that are around are paying absolutely no mind. No one has stopped him from looking in this classified folder, so who's gonna stop him???

He carefully yoinks one of the photos from under a paperclip, the one that showcases a set of red rimmed, big, brown eyes, chubby cheeks slightly flushed, little fists balled up near her face. It was the only photo where her eyes weren't scrunched and mouth wide open in what he could only imagine was a heart wrenching, soul crushing, scared scream. He carefully pockets it, making sure no one sees him... And making sure he doesn't bend the corners... He closes the file and returns to business.

~~~~~

Later that night, Coulson is lying in his bunk. He can't sleep. He keeps thinking about that baby. He's hoping for the best for her. He pulls the photo from under his pillow (he couldn't help but put her there when he came in to dress down for bed), and examines it. He takes in every little feature he can from the low light in the room. The unsure look in her brown eyes that makes him yearn to comfort her... The tiny little button nose he wants to boop... The way her little bow of her lips are parted... Her balled up fists by her face that he wishes to encompass in his own palm... The rosy cheeks he wants to give kisses to to coax giggles from her... The soft tufts of dark, wispy hair he wishes he could smooth down lovingly... The way how he wants-- no, NEEDS -- to hold her close to his chest again as he shushes her and rocks her and tells her it's going to be okay...

But the best he can do is stare at the photo from a memory past that tastes sour in his mouth. Run his eyes over every detail and memorize them. Memorize her. And hope that someone will treat her right while SHIELD has her...

(And yes, he does let May borrow the photo from time to time bc he can feel the same tension from her too. When she hands back the photo later, she doesn't need to say thank you. He can see less tension in her posture, and her eyes aren't so worried. That's enough of a thank you for him.)

Would you guys still love me if I said that the most likely end for Schrott, Hollenhund, Honig, Essig, and everyone else on the VDF-5 would be getting blown to bits in space by the Imperial blockade finally. Hypothetically if that happened of course.
