#solas flirts

[liaragaming]

Thinking about the Solas flirt options, and I think the warrior one is under appreciated.

Lavellan straight up asks him if he likes their muscles, and the guy deflects. But then comes back around and says, "But yes, since you asked."

Do you know how many times Solas deflects a question but then swings the answer back around to give an honest answer?!?!

NEVER!

He never f*cking does except when blind-sighting by warrior Lavellan's muscles.

He's just so into it that his brain pulls out of auto-delfecting and goes

[liaragaming]

And people say they don't understand us Solasmancers. HELLO?!

lavellan: “so the fade huh. thats cool”

solas: “are you attempting to…….,,.know me”

lavellan: “yeah kinda is there something wrong with that”

solas: “…”

solas: “i see you are a mage”

lavellan: “uh huh”

solas: “have you ever been dominated in the bedroom”

The thing about SolRook that I really like even tho I dont ship them for myself is that the two match each other's energy and Rook calls him the fuck out. I feel like it is a huge character progression for him to fall for someone who will call him the fuck out and stand by that.

"It rather explains how he knew such a great deal of ancient elven history...and why he became so vexed when I tried to explain it to him."

Oh to be Morrigan, all but throwing down at an ancient temple of Mythal with an apostate who confidently tells you that the years of your life deep in study were spent in waste and then accuses you of giving legend the weight of history.

It's the worst possible "let me speak to your manager" because she's like "how tf would you know?" and he just gives a smug little "well sitting here doing nothing certainly won't get us any closer to the truth" knowing full well it's him, he's the ancient elven manager.

You know she stared at a wall for a solid minute when she learned the truth.

Do you see how his eyes change in that last one?

You can trust me.

Ian: Your runes are interesting, Solas. I've never seen spellwork like yours before. Solas: In my wanderings I've uncovered older techniques. They are impossible to fully replicate, the ancient elves drew from a well deeper than what I can manage. Ian: It's- it isn't that. I mean, unless- was it customary for ancient elven runes to be so polite? Solas: Excuse me? Ian: Your runes, I read- that is... most runes are commands, or wishes or-or hopes. Yours don't- don't read that way. It's like you're asking for a small favour, as simple as- as simple as asking someone to pass you something at the dinnertable. Solas: I have never had my magic framed in such mundane terms. Ian: It isn't... I mean, I don't mean it disparagingly. I think- it might even be refreshing, to see magic approached so... practically. Solas: Magic exists, whether I wish it or not. I might command it, I might even be more powerful for it, but an unsubtle rune manifests an unsubtle spell. Raw power does not amount to much if you can anticipate it, reroute it, outsmart it. Ian: In other words it's- it's better to say 'please and thank you'? Solas: I have often found that to be the case, yes. Ian: In that case... thank you for indulging my curiosity. Solas: Ban'serannas (You're welcome). The pleasure was mine.

Cishet elven supremacist wolf god Solas: get off my favorite chair you chaotic little gremlin

My they/them human Rook: you wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid

[steelwoolcardigan]

Sorry i'm still learning how to upload audio files but...

What the hell is up with the chemistry in this banter...????

Solas: Can you see how he and I might frustrate one another? Rook: The two of you are too much alike. Both of you want to be in charge. Solas: I have no desire to be "in charge" Rook: No, you just want to be able to correct anyone who's not doing everything the way you'd've done it. Solas: (Chuckles) I see you have been observing me as well during these conversations. Rook: All right, I can see how you and Elgar'nan would hate each other. Solas: He has always been what I most feared becoming. Callous and uncaring, his arrogance unchecked. To have that much power and no one to remind him that he could be wrong... Rook: Well, he had you. Solas:(Chuckles) And I suppose I had you.

How do you even romance Solas as Rook??

[smitten-miqitten]

Because I'm evil, a little headcanon for my Lavellan and Cullen:

Throughout Inquisiton Cullywully is down bad for Lavellan, but she's into Solas. No prob, he knows how to be respectful and professional and keep his crushes to himself. They still grow close, she helps him through lyrium withdrawal, he looks up to her, they play chess together frequently, etc etc.

Solas 'dumps' Lavellan for reasons unknown and baffling to everyone, given how very obviously he still cares for her. Lavellan is extremely sad and angry and embarrassed and emotionally closed off. Cullen doesn't touch this situation with a ten foot pole because he's not a moron. He's supportive but not stupid.

But then Solas is gone.

A year goes by.

Then two.

Lavellan and Cullen still play chess frequently. They talk about their families. His siblings are teasing him about settling down. Maybe Leliana and Josie are wink wink nudge nudging the pair, hoping Curly could fix what Chuckles broke.

Cullen caves and makes the ask. Can there be something here? Can they be more?

Lavellan politely declines. There's not nothing reciprocated. She thinks that, maybe, if any number of things had gone differently she could have said yes. But she's still hopelessly in love with Solas, which only gets reinforced in the most heartbreaking way in Trespasser. She can't in good conscience accept Cullen's heart when her own heart is outside her chest, off doing nefarious things to the Veil.

But because it's a 'No' tinged with the slightest bit of 'Yes', Cullen has in his secretest heart of hearts the littlest bit of hope that her mind might one day change. And this hope persists for ten years as she occasionally helps with his ex-Templar rehab center and they chat and play chess and his siblings like her oh so much. She's never anything but friendly, and he never asks again, but the hope remains like an ember.

Until one day, Inquisitor Lavellan goes to Minrathous and never returns. She goes to Minrathous and leaves Thedas forever and finally finally that tiny bit of what could be dies on the vine.

DRAGON AGE VEILGUARD SPOILERS

So like, like, like WHY THE FUCK DID NONE OF YOU TELL ME THAT NOT ONLY DOES FUCKING VARRIC DIE BUT SO DOES FUCKING DAVRIN AND IM GUESSING HARDING IF YOU CHOSE HER LIKE WHAT THE FUCK 😭

I GET IT, I GET SOMEONE HAD TO DIE. BUT WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYWHY

Also idk what the fuck some of yall smoking saying the game has Fortnite graphics, that the story is shit and the companions are ass. I genuinely believe you are just piggyingback off others opinions and your either too scared to say you enjoy something or your just so fucking stupid you just agree with the majority of the crowd. Because i fucking loved everything about this game. ESPICALLY THE STORY, like holy fuck was the fucking last battle scenes were crazy asf but so much fun to watch and play.

I loved everything about this game and this will be my new hyperfixation for as long as I live.

(I also highkey wanted Rook and Solas to kiss multiple times throughout the game and i honestly think BioWare was just to pussy to add that in bc what the fuck was the chemistry going on with those two, fanfic writers i am willing and waiting please)

[salmbtchtrials]

I just saw more (NON SPOILER) clips of Solas, and my GOD has the animation improved 😭

The man has so much personality in his expressions, his Little Shit Personality™️ shows so much clearer 😭💕💕💕
