"It can be argued that an immortal would have to be distant, or eventually all it would know is loss. What would our world look like to such a creature? What actions would they be capable of when everything except themselves is fleeting and therefore of little relevance to eternity? If we as elvhen discover a path back to what we were, we must be sure that the path is wide enough for all. For the individual who stumbles into that journey, who endures when all else is dust, can only be alone." - Keeper Ilan'ta

Soooooo after the new details that have been revealed about Veilguard, how do we all imagine a Solavellan reunion is going down? Trapped in the fade together? Lighthouse makeout sessions? A very sad mural dedicated to his Vhenan? My brain is infested with new headcanons.
#the brainrot is stronger than ever. I think that after 10 years it fermented into something slightly unhinged#they are living rentfree in the lighthouse (in my head)#someone wrote about some sad murals on the walls and I couldn’t take it anymore#Solas stop haunting your ex in the fade and make up already#challenged myself with this one! more detailed than my usual work and damn it takes long#foreverrr actually#takes a lot more planning than how I normally work#but I must say I’m happy with the results :)#dragon age#solas#my art#my fanart#dai#the veilguard#da: the veilguard#da:tv#solavellan#the dreamworld#dreadwolf summer#solas x female lavellan#solas x inquisitor#digital drawing#digital illustration#BioWare#dragon age art#art#daze chroma#dazechroma#solas dragon age#solasmance

Based on this post by @barrel-crow-n
Highly doubt the clerk in ck was the only time he ever hurled someone from a building
#I feel nobody talks about the fact he was just casually holding a grown man by the legs#it was a lighthouse so there was probably a railing for him to hold on to but STILL#no wonder people think he isn’t human#myart#six of crows

Okay, so we know that Charles' polo goes red>burgundy>black and back by the end of the season.
Because there's so much going on, I always missed the exact transitions. This time I specifically tracked them down. (Apologies if this has already been done.)
Charles shirt is bright red through the majority of the Devlin House, even in Hope's Diary scene, when he opens up to Crystal.
Even when he first swings at Mr. Devlin and gets knocked back, his shirt is red.
The very subtle shift to burgundy is after he disappears and first reappears in the loop.
It remains burgundy throughout the entire lighthouse leapers episode and beginning of the two dead dragons.
I finally realized the very last moment we see of Charles in the burgundy is with Crystal. She tells him after the confusing makeout night, "But I think we should be friends," and kind-hearted Charles, of course, respects that and puts on a friendly smile.
It's difficult to see in the next scene with him because of his jacket, the angle he sits at on the ladder, and the lighting, but it's immediately after that when we first see him in the black polo.
My brother in death, you are NOT doing well.
here's another song from Jayden Revri's official Charles playlist, that I think is about this conflict with Crystal:
His shirt is still black during the "I don't wanna be a bad guy" scene.
After Edwin's affirmation of Charles' inherent goodness, it is directly after this scene that the shirt goes back to burgundy!!!
He's still wearing the burgundy during the confession:
BUT IT GOES BACK TO BRIGHT RED LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER EDWIN'S CONFESSION AND THEY ESCAPE HELL TOGETHER!
Yo I equally love Cryland and Payneland but the show canonly said "Crystal hit him in the loneliness and Edwin hit him in the loved"

Rook: I'm really worried about Davrin and Lucanis, they keep arguing with one another... Its very bad Varric, what if it effects them in battle?
Varric, remembering that one time Fenris broke Ander's nose then took a knife in the back for him in the same night: I'm sure they'll be fine kid. They're barely even arguing if you ask me
#dragon age#dav spoilers#sorry its so funny to me#varric hearing the veilguard talk about their problems like adults instead of fucking/drinking/fighting their way out of it:#'wow my kirkwall friends really were fucked up losers huh:#'* whoops#i wish veilguard cast was a little bit toxic... i need them to be mean#lucanis should hate me so much more for choosing minrathous over treviso#i was counting on the yummy character drama...#he does trust rook a little bit less cause of it though so ill take that#i do feel bad about treviso im already planning a crow rook to save it and romance lucanis#sorry to compare these two to fenris and anders again i just think its funny#they should let me stick anders in the middle of the lighthouse#his sheer inability to cope with shit in a healthy way would be like setting off another bomb#someone tries to applogize and anders starts on his Bullshit you know what I'm talking about#can you guys tell i miss him. hes so bad at coping babygirl come back to me...#crow rambles

are y'all telling me solas not only accidentally gets trapped in his own god jail due to scaffolding bamboozling, but the people behind said bamboozling repo his fade-pocket house??
and he ends up having to help this ragtag group of people if he's to ever get out of his god jail and also stop the gods he fucked around and found out with?
the same people who are indirectly-directly working for the inquisition
the inquisition which has been chasing him for 10 years to stop him from causing an extinction event (again)
the same inquisition that's led by his ex-girlfriend?
somewhere out there lavellan is laughing her ass off reading varric's report
#dragon age#datv#datv spoilers#dragon age the veilguard#solavellan#im crylaughing this is too funny#im also laughing so i dont think about potential romance easter eggs scattered about in the lighthouse#this is fine !!!!

Yeah I was having too much free time and the realization has descended upon me about how much unbelievable sense it makes if Luke were to replace Nico in HOO.
Knowing about Camp Jupiter? - Yeah Idk ab you but like. Alabaster Torrington, former Lieutenant of the Titan Army, is literally out there wielding an Imperial Gold sword. Also Saturn's throne was attacked by the legionnaire. Surely there are many pieces missing but I mean the picture is there.
But how come Luke can become the Ambassador like Nico did? - You guys call Luke a manipulator all the time. He has the tongue he has the skills he has the charm. He'd be fineeeee
Also I reckon Luke vs Octavian might bring a fun dynamic to the stage idk. Former villain vs New Villain. Both with a diplomatic tongue and blonde hair and blue eyes--- Percy's gonna have an aneurysm.
Treading the Tartarus looking for the Doors of Death? - Luke's basically a (godly) federal criminal. He could have been banished to Tartarus. And who knows maybe he could have found his old shoes floating across the hell site that somehow helped him survive for all that time---
Nemesis helped Nico? Well, Nemesis is Ethan's mother and Ethan once sided with Luke back in the day, I wonder how she'd have reacted----
"The Twins wouldn't want Luke" - Well well welll. What if they did intend to take Nico but Luke somehow switched their places/ replaced him bc he refused to let the kid be a prisoner? What then?
Percy making Nico promise to lead them to the House of Hades? - Double angst bc now it's Luke - who led many demigods astray once. Would Percy have the heart to trust him? Would a promise be enough against all those times they had stood on two sides of the war?
Leading the way to the House of Hades? - Think about it. Luke's basically dead. He's a ghost. His father is also the god of traveling. Surely he can have some kind of instincts that guide him through the halls of the dead.
Transporting the Athena Parthenos? - Again. Son of Hermes, god of travel. Look me in the eye and tell me there's no plausible way Luke Castellan could have some sort of teleportation spell that magically blips them a thousand miles away.
And the best thing in all of this, is that Luke actually has the personal motive to fight Gaea.
For Nico, it's more like kindness, the "If I don't do this, those I love will die" - which is sweet, alright, but also quite universal. Luke has more than that. Luke has actually a personal reason which is he has committed the same mistake once. He brought Kronos upon them and only managed to kill him by killing himself. He sacrificed so much for the demigods' sake and now Octavian wants to raise Gaea to doom all of them? He was the one who allied himself with the monsters only to receive the bitter ending, and now Octavian intends to repeat the same mistake?
Try telling me Luke wouldn't want to rip the guy to shreds and blast Geae into pieces. I dare you.
Also obviously the hype of getting a friend-turned-foe turn ally again. How would Percy and Annabeth react? How's Thalia gonna react when Luke comes across the Amazons + Hunters when on his way transporting the Pathernos? Dammit I'd eat that shit up as if I've been starving since the day I was born.
#The only missing part is the Cupid debacle lmao idk about that tho#i dont think luke struggles with his sexuality the guy is probably as confident ab his homosexuality (if there is) as a lighthouse#so i'd give rick that#nico di angelo#pjo#hoo#toa#yone rambling#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#trials of apollo#percy jackson#luke castellan#nico and luke#house of hades

i saw a really scenic lighthouse last week and my first thought was "maybe i should revisit the lighthouse fic" so maybe yall have that going for yall again now?
#the issue with the lighthouse fic was that i had that idea strike me about two weeks before i finished firewatch au#and i literally BANNED myself from thinking about it so i could finish firewatch au#i was like absolutely not. no distractions allowed here for the next two weeks i'm SO close to finishing#and sadly.....the idea no longer had its grip on me after i finished firewatch au#*stares into the distance* but Maybe....

Okay so I don’t feel the most qualified to talk about this, especially to make any value judgements on how any of this was handled, so I would love other people to add in if they feel like it, but this is eating my brain actually so.
Esther Finch is a funny villain. She’s a joy to watch on screen, even if part of that joy is in hating her. But there’s something that feels very deliberate in the fact that the only two girls (barring in the animated flashback) we see her target are black girls. Becky Aspen and Crystal. I don’t think we’re supposed to infer from this that she only ever targets black girls, but the casting of Becky feels deliberate. While there’s plenty of in universe explanation for why she wants to use Crystal to feed to her snake afterwards and doesn’t ever say, specifically target Niko, it’s still there. And though Niko was just hurt because she got in the way, she’s also another woman of colour we see Esther hurt.
And then at the end Crystal, who many have pointed out has been a voice for women throughout the whole season, stands in front of Lilith, the goddess of wronged women, and screams to her about who gets justice for all the little girls Esther hurt. And then Lilith, played by a black woman, is the one to drag Esther away.
Crystal says to Esther that she knows how anger can poison you. Esther says she learned to be predator instead of prey a long time ago. Do I think that the show literally wants us to think that Esther is a racist who deliberately targets black girls? No. Do I think the casting choices that they made bring up themes of the kind of people who, because they have been hurt or marginalized, want to push others down to have others that they can have power over instead? Whose problems with societal oppression is not that it exists, but that they aren’t the ones who get to benefit from it? I think so.
#little more nervous about posting this one tbh#again I don’t want to really make a value judgement on how well they did this#because not only am I white I’m also a person who can straight up miss problematic stuff even when it’s about me in some way#hello autism#but yeah it was devouring me and I wanted to write it out#anyways Esther finch might not literally be a Karen or a Terf but metaphorically she kind of is#Esther Finch#crystal palace#crystal palace surname von hoverkraft#dbda#dead boy detectives#and also yeah she grabs the boys but that’s because they now have a specific use to her#dbda meta#discussion of racism#also it makes me think thoughts about that scene where she talks to that cop on the street abt how relieved she was Becky was found#the same cop who dismissed Crystal and Niko when they reported the lighthouse leaper they saw#something something white privileged acab something something

don’t know if the lighthouse keepers showing up in marcus’ story was them actually managing to follow her around after she left the isles, isolde’s seance powers summoning them, or just a figment of her imagination, but i’d like to think its the first one.
and once greta dies and somehow turns into a ghost (can you see that im still coping), the three of them are there to help her get her bearings over the fact she’s dead and a ghost and once the vienna storm shitshow is done the three of them basically thank her for taking care of their little lassie after all this time
#sometimes family is just the three dead lighthouse keepers. your also dead mentor. and you who has no idea they’re following you around#reverse 1999#marcus#greta hofmann#certified storm moments#i like to think the lighthouse keepers share stories about marcus to hofmann when she was still in the isles with them#one day isolde and marcus finally cross paths in the suitcase and isolde starts staring behind marcus for an uncomfortably long time#like a cat seeing something you can’t see (greta and the lighthouse keepers)
