When a sniffle triggers a sneeze

[felassan]

What's all this about Solas speaking in iambic pentameter? English isn't my first language so I never noticed anything odd about the way he talks, but your blog is the first time I've seen it mentioned by anyone

hello! ◕‿◕ Solas sometimes speaks in a specific pattern or rhythm. It sometimes gets described as or compared by people to iambic pentameter. (which is a type of rhythm common in traditional English poetry. Shakespeare used it in his sonnets and plays.) Though, I'm not sure that it's actually literally that or always that. The main point is that at those times, he's speaking particularly poetically, with a specific poetic rhythm in his speech. (Like where the stress on syllables is and the 'beats' in his speech.) Occasionally, the Inquisitor's dialogue line[s] in response to him are the same.

When Trick Weekes wrote Solas in DA:I, they wrote some of his key scenes to KD Lang's cover of the song Hallelujah on a loop. They talked about some of their process and the reasons for the use of this technique in terms of Solas' characterization in this DA:I-era blog post:

Trick Weekes: "When Solas talks about things that he saw in the Fade, things that speak to a distant past, I needed him to sound ever so slightly otherworldly and wistful – someone remembering a dream with a sense of both sadness and inevitability. If you follow [that link] and look at some of Solas’s lines, you may notice a familiar rhythm come out. It would have been forcing it to give lines the same rhyme scheme, but giving the words the meter captured some of that wistfulness and made Solas sound ever so slightly otherworldly. (In the rare cases the player got into the same rhythm, there was always an approval bump from Solas. For that brief period, it was like the player was thinking like he did.) I used this a few times over the game, and I love what it did to his voice. Also, Cori (who edited Solas) is exceedingly kind for putting up with my request that changes to those lines keep this surreptitious rhythm."

An example of when it happens in DA:I is:

"I've journeyed deep into the Fade // in ancient ruins and battlefields // to see the dreams of lost civilizations. I've watched as hosts of spirits clash // to reenact the bloody past // in ancient wars both famous and forgotten. Every great war // has its heroes. // I'm just curious // what kind you'll be."

Compare this with the song's lyrics:

"I heard there was a secret chord // That David played, and it pleased the Lord // You don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth // The minor fall, the major lift // The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah // Hallelujah // Hallelujah // Hallelujah"

An example from Trespasser is:

"I lay in dark and dreaming sleep [I heard there was a secret chord] while countless wars and ages passed [That David played, and it pleased the Lord] I woke still weak a year before I joined you. [You don't really care for music, do ya?]" etc.

Q. Will Solas still occasionally or dramatically speak in iambic pentameter? A. “Massive kudos to Patrick, who always writes Solas so well. Again, Solas is a returning character. It’s the same Solas you know and love (or hate depending on who you are). The same writer. So I think the answer is yeah, it’s Solas.” – John Epler

User: "you really went off with solas. but the iambic pentameter makes writing fanfic dialogue for him so treacherous..." Trick Weekes: "It doesn't always have to be in the cadence! Just when he's deeply feeling The Old Days! He's written in standard prose 99% of the time!"

I think he does it a bit in the gameplay reveal video [Veil ripping scene with Varric] too. hope this helps :>

i would like to say it is a tough time to be an enjoyer of tedbecca and mistynat and romangerri i feel like my house is filling with cold water from multiple windows

Do you mobians have animalistic instincts? Dont you ever just wanna go feral sometimes? Ya know, Fox traits.

Like shaking water off like a dog, growling, biting, purring.

Raising your hackles on your back when threatened, body language, burrowing under blankets during storms?

Many variations of your story say you grew up alone in the woods at a young age so its plausible you had to adapt to survive. Has any of those traits followed you later in life? Yes we are civil, but we're still animals. You and i are still foxes in a world of hedgehogs.

#StandFerals #FoxSolidarity

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I definitely still have my ‘animalistic’ tendencies. I remember that they were a lot more severe when I was younger, though. Around the early times Sonic took me around, I remember nipping Sonic whenever he made too sudden movements towards me— I’d always feel bad about it afterwards because it was mostly defensive instinct.

More recently, I don’t do that (as much) anymore because I’m not as fearful as I was before. (I do still like biting Sonic though, playfully. That’s what siblings do right? Play fight.) Sifting through your list, I do still do most of those, growling, biting, purring, burrowing, hissing too. (The exception is shaking off water, because I usually dry myself off with my tails as propellers so I avoid getting other people wet)

huh sorry for disappearing for like a day and a half. a weird guy appeared

[solradguy]

7oby ohhh my god oh my god sorry for infodumping about Blazblue in your ask box because of a seemingly unrelated Guilty Gear post but on your Kuro Ky post you mentioned the ASGARD circle. That's the circle that the creator of Remix and Variable Heart and also just. one of the artists for the Blazblue series Sumeragi published her yaoi doujin under. Judging by the art style it probably is actually her possibly under a different name this is a hilarious coincidence I'm losing my MIND

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFBTBFBTBKF???

Re:union

俺のヤンデレ弟がこんなに可愛いわけがない ("MY YANDERE YOUNGER BROTHER CAN'T BE THIS CUTE" ?!?)

BY ASGARD CIRCLE (some had the Sumeragi artist credit too, but most of the ones I found were just "ASGARD circle")

WAIT WAIT HOLD ON SUMERAGI IS THE GUILTY GEAR STORY DIGEST COMICS MANGAKA TOO LMAO

Why don't you just get back on twitter and stop problematizing exactly everything on the show? yes we already know everything is so toxic and blabla, racism etc, yes we know Lestat is abusive but they are all a fucking monsters! Nobody cares at the end of the day, it's just entertainment, we come home from work tired and want to hang out have fun and not overheat our head...

Omg I know it’s soooo hard to come home from a long day at work and have for think about black people experiencing racism omg yuck imma right??
