rava + solas / doomsday

finally finished this silly self indulgent project after wrestling with clipchamp trying to make it work in a way that was remotely comparable to a decent video editing software (it is not) but i had to get this out of my brain bc this song with them has been fucking HAUNTING ME.

[kissingwookiees]

"solas..." "please, vhenan."

[kissingwookiees]

its three bitches with a cute lil bun saving one bald mfer from his worst mistakes

[kissingwookiees]

also pointing out that the reason mallory would've even known 'vhenan' is elven for 'heart' when rava drops that tidbit about her and solas (which she would NOT be airing any of that business out like that to rook who she's known for two seconds I'M SORRY but, i get it moving the narrative, i digress) is because he's been canoodling with bellara this whole time and then he has the nerve to act shocked that the inquisitor (a dalish spy mind you) manages to suss out he and bellara are an item at all.

[kissingwookiees]

me @ me: hey wtf!!

[kissingwookiees]

telling you the ingredients to my secret sauce which is that my visual references for rava were a combo of saffron vadher, alba flores, and simone ashley

[kissingwookiees]

"THERES MORE, ISN'T THERE?" "IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY..."

me, a chronic city elf enjoyer: what if my lavellan's background was similar to tabris but, like, if the tabriseses were even more messy and one half was dalish

[kissingwookiees]

"what does this mean, solas?" "it means that i have not forgotten about the kiss." "neither have i."

embodiment of love

i wasnt tagged but i saw this uquiz on the dash a couple of days ago and i'm insane about my ocs so i'm doing these for my dragon age babes (and then my fallout ocs)

finnola tabris - hero of ferelden

love as tenderness

[ love as gentleness after a lifetime of cruelty ] when ocean vuong said "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined" and when pablo neruda said "like a jar you housed the infinite tenderness and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar" and when anais mitchell wrote "all i've ever known is how to hold my own, and now i wanna hold you, too”

thatcher hawke - champion of kirkwall

love as violence

[ love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs ] when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine"

brendan trevelyan - herald of andraste

love as light

[ love as a luminous force—warm, radiant, and golden ] when mary oliver wrote "light of the world hold me” and when charles bukowski said “I look at her and light goes all through me” and when david viscott said “to love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides” and when e. e. cummings said “lovers alone wear sunlight”

rava lavellan - inquisitor

love as being known

[ love is knowing all of someone and loving them anyway ] when tim kreider said "if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" and when joe wright said "the idea that these two people know each other, knew each other when they first saw each other. that they recognized each other from their future" and when micah nemerever said "it was a relief and a horror to be known so perfectly"
