solas haters are so annoying

like i promise you there are a million other perfectly good reasons to not like him besides "he's full of himself." which is the impression some people get after his dialogue in haven, and usually what they bring up in their crit posts. like... that's not even really accurate. hes a bit self centered sure (he's the type of guy who leaves only 1/8th cup milk in the bottle and doesn't write it on the shopping list) but at that time he's just infodumping.

if you're gonna hate him at least pick a reason that is true 🙄 for example unless you stop him he full on murders a scared guy who made a mistake out of ignorance.

"but robin he has killed a whole bunch of people! notoriously so!" i hear you i hear your point. the difference is that this time it was personal and in cold blood.

#he has dogshit impulse control #'well he's not a murderer in MY universe!'#solas has been in violent situations since the second his feet hit solid ground #he still has no impulse control after a bajillion years #you don't think he's done this before?#halfway tempted to make a list of all his flaws and put it in the crit tag begging them to pick something else to hate him for #hi just to be clear i love him more than anything in the world #'but robin! his whole thing is self-sacrifice! how can he be self-centered?'#fantastic question me because nobody is going to read this #i've found that the kindest people are often self-centered people who learned to make the effort to be actively attentive to others #and when you are so used to focusing on it it becomes a part of your motivations #but people will still always default to their nature on occasion #evidence: like SO much group therapy
