#he is such a good character fr

[durgeapologist]

i was 14 the first time i played DAI, i had never played any DA game before nor any game like it, and solas became my favorite character! my first inquisitor had a mentor/mentee relationship with him and even now that i’m much older and have done solavellan route, i still prefer the friendship route with solas. i always get a bit sad when i see takes that his romance is the only way to fully understand his character because i genuinely don’t feel that way, i connected so deeply with him in my first run. i knew nothing about DA so hearing him explain everything just made me go “waooow” every time ahah, and i felt so betrayed in trespasser. “i would treasure the chance to be wrong once again, my friend,” is a quote that lives rent free in my mind.

idk i just love solas on his own, he’s neat.

no seriously!! gosh, solas is my favorite character of all time across all medias that i consume. astarion from bg3 is a close second, who i ALSO prefer a friendship path with as a spawn.

i love solas SO much that he got me back into posting in fandom spaces instead of lurking like i have since 2019. his character, his story, his nuance, his ego, his fatal flaws, his redeeming qualities-- i could go on and on about what a fantastically written and performed character he is, and how profound your relationship as his friend can be. i hate shying away from his negative aspects, because when i do focus on them, it forces me to look in a mirror and see myself in him. not many characters resonate with me the way he does. he is so tragically stuck in his ways for so long that it forces new perspective thought, and being a friend inky to him is so rewarding.

he is so wonderfully full and fleshed out and it pains me to my core when he's reduced to just a love interest for lavellan. his story moves forward beautifully without a romance, and any rose-tinted glasses i may have had at first have since been thrown to the wayside to focus instead on how fucking intoxicating his entire development and expansion are. dai holds a special place in my heart because of solas, even if it's my third favorite da game overall. seeing how he grew in dav, and building yet another platonic (romantic is wonderful to hc, but again, he can be so much more) relationship with him with a character that sees him for who he is, without the amount of unnecessary lies and masking he needed in dai just solidified my already eternal and undying love for him. i love interacting with him as much as i can.

sksjdoqks sorry for the ramble anon ur mind is so powerful and i love you fr

@residentrookie activated my unskippable dialogue unfortunately lmao

dorothy dunnett ... dorothy dunnett is like if you took the best, your favoritest tumblrina - who if god were good SHOULD have been blogging about her dumb lil guys in 2025 and instead you stuck her in the 1950s - so instead of writing earth shattering porn on ao3 about castiel or whatever she instead sat down and made up her OWN lil guys and wrote masterful yearnful books about them in the midst of a political thriller circa 1500s... dorothy dunnett said I want to make a guy who hates himself soooooo much and sleeps his way around the world and rambles over rooftops and has the most beYOOOtiful singing voice and hates himself and is DEFINITELY bisexual and can sword fight not like,, super well but well enough that he beats everyone important and also he hates himself!! and did I mention he's bisexual?? ...and THEN i want to make a guy who's SUUUUPER straight (wink wink) but keeps getting thrown into situations where it looks like he might need to sleep with a guy (oh noo) to keep them happy or whatever ...Dorothy Dunnett said I'll write the most perfect series to ever exist but! 😡 it has to start with a book so hard to read you can't recommend it to any of your friends.... and then I'll write a series that's even HARDER TO READ but by then you're locked in.. possibly for life..

I cannot recommend the lymond chronicles enough, however the first book is just to be GOT THRU ... some point in the middle you'll realize how good it is but it's a slog until then, hopefully falling in love with Lymond carries you through!! I can't remember who said it sorry but somebody on here said lymond is enemies to lovers but the enemies are lymond and The Reader ... and they were RIGHT. anyway tell me if you start them. please.

Something kinda tasteless about the way that alongside the concerns of "Batman needs someone to rein in his aggression/edginess" (mostly a meta concern,) "Robin is a symbol of undying hope right alongside Batman, Superman, and the police system," and "now that the thought's crossed my mind I think being Robin would be pretty sweet actually," one of Tim's points for why he should be Robin at the end of A Lonely Place of Dying is "we need to show the criminals of Gotham that they can't just kill Robin and expect to get away with it!" Because. They can. That's exactly what happened.

Using that line of reasoning, Tim makes the claim that the idea of Jaybin's life as disposable and inconsequential is heinous and bad, his killing something impermissible, but instead of disproving said idea they allow it to become true and devote their energy to making sure it doesn't become widely known as such. By covering his death up, they actually are permitting his murder to go unaddressed and deeming it acceptable, even taking away the opportunity for it to be consequential to anyone outside of Bruce's inner circle by not spreading the news. As much as we say "oh Bruce was a great dad because losing Jason crushed him" and "he almost considered trying to kill the Joker one time," he in all tangible areas did not do anything about Jason's death. Setting aside the question of killing the Joker or not, it's still shown in Batman Year 3 that Bruce's reaction to Jason's death in the time til Tim showed up was to hide away everything Jason owned and carry on with business as usual, a little angrier. Bruce didn't make any changes or actually evaluate anything in a significant way after the warehouse and Jason's death didn't warrant any tangible consequence, that's evident from reading the comic. I know some may disagree, and I acknowledge the room for interpretation, but in order to discuss Tim's reason we have to concede that it is explicitly written into this specific comic as something Bruce and Tim both recognize as fact, because it serves as the foundation that this reason is built on: there is good reason for the criminals to believe there would no punishment for killing Robin based on the actions Bruce did or didn't take in response. The concern about the public realizing there are no consequences for killing Robin wouldn't be reasonable if it wasn't true, if there actually were.

While they recognize that Jason's death came to pass largely without consequence, the fact itself is less of an issue to both Bruce and Tim than letting criminals actually find out that it doesn't have consequence. They know it's unjust, the notion that Jason can be killed without repercussion (and in making an effort to minimize his murder confirm it to be true,) but their concern isn't for what actually happened to Jason or the lack of proper response. At least on the vigilante side of things, the problem is public perception and continuing to uphold an image of Batman as just and diligent while permitting him to ignore injustice against those close to him. There's no efforts taken to actually disprove the idea that killing Robin would lack impact, what Tim proposes is just making it harder to prove right.

I think the best way to word what comes across tasteless for me here (aside from the side commentary on the unstoppable might of the institution of police and how it's an exemplar of heroism) is that beyond Tim's victim-blaming of Jason during his stint as Robin, (discussed in more depth by people who can word it better than me,) in the base text of a Lonely Place of Dying, it is foundational to the initial premise of Tim as Robin that part of his motive for being Robin hinges on accepting what happened to Jason as something that cannot be allowed in their pursuit of justice or go unaddressed for reasons completely unrelated to the actual harm, and then intentionally erasing the event and the way in which it was allowed and did go unaddressed. No matter how much it's claimed in later comics that Bruce was faultless and Jason doomed himself, Tim's Robin came to be at least in part (in-universe) as a cover-up for the lack of action taken about Jason's death, and by extension as an effort to overwrite his time as Robin and an individual entirely. And thought it wasn't the way his character viewed it, Tim wasn't passively complicit in it or going along with a poor grieving man, the intentional and deliberate erasure of Jason as a murder victim and the injustice of his posthumous treatment was part of his opening pitch.

jack remarking that he's "missed this" while running from danger with the doctor is so crazy like his life since the doctor left him has been nothing but constant danger as the head of torchwood except back there he's thrust into the role of leader as the person who's objectively the most experienced but he's just some guy!! he doesn't know anything he's constantly fucking up and put in impossible situations and ruining things and we even see how easily the team organises in his absence. like clearly he did not miss danger he just missed having someone who can tell him which way to run from it....

I find it so painfully heartbreaking that Solomon just...laughs off all the derision, the name-calling, and possibly even did "evil" things on purpose because it's expected of him at this point. (He had not always been like this as Thirteen pointed out before). There was a time when he was "innocent". When his soul sparkled. When it resembled the kind of soul everyone in these god forsaken (pun intended with spite) three realms seemed to associate with the ever loved MC. He's just...worryingly carefree. And because he's like that, he feels even more of a tragic character to me.

Sometimes it even seems that he himself would seemingly make up excuses on why he's hated. Oh, it's because I'm a sorcerer this. I might have won a war against Devildom single-handedly this. I have forgotten. But maybe, I did something bad, that. Hon, you were doing that to SURVIVE. You don't have to be a faultless person to deserve compassion. You don't have to be MC to deserve to be loved.
