so far i’ve read three trees to midnight, horror of hormak, and callback. i’m trying to practise restraint and leave the last story until i’m at least done with my initial read-through of the material most relevant to my characters which ksjdf. is very hard but here’s notes i’ve taken so far:

oh and btw pls dont r/b this!

if you want a pretty good demonstration of why solas and cole speak with discomfort about how spirits are used in thedas, “wisp darts” may be a pretty good example. it’s likely the wisps aren’t fully-formed spirits, more akin to the pieces of pieces cole refers to the mortalitasi using. still a pretty callous way to use something that has some presence, even if it’s not a person.

there’s a reference to a talented tevinter mage healer being able to reattach arms with magic, through use of spirits.

there is a lot of discord among the qunari rn, both within different arms and without. the bas-taar, the antaam keeper of bas slaves, essentially, thinks of the ashaad with disdain- “even the black-and-white-striped vitaar that painted the huntmaster’s face was drawn to symbolise sight, finding, rather than battle and power, as befitted the antaam.” funnily the huntsmaster is actually not antaam but ben-hassrath, therefore a priest, but that his attitude doesn’t draw notice indicates this isn’t abnormal for the ashaad. so like not only do at least some of the antaam and ben-hassrath have beef, but there’s beef within the antaam.

if i read it right, the dwarven deep roads gave way to purely elven ruins, and the warden narrator notes that this isn’t completely unheard of. not only that but there are dwarven carvings of elves, and it’s only later the elven bas-relief take over. i’ll prob need to reread to wrap my head about it, i wonder the relation between the dwarves and elves there.

fucked up as the art itself was, i love the glimpse we got into true elven art. the lack of age made me pause-- solas indicates that spirits can preserve things, so it could be that, or could someone be upkeeping it? and the change the art went through, going from healing to putting the hurt (the taint?) into people. whether this is just ramesh’s perception changing or magic idk, but i also wouldn’t be surprised if ancient elven magic shifted as the viewer looked at it, too.

solas’ reasoning for discomfort abt the wardens grows tbh when i think about the art. while the wardens don’t change themselves the way (what i assume to be) ghilan’nain’s creations have, they are still taking the blight into them oftentimes unwillingly. it’s the sort of parallel that would be difficult to let go to say the least.

there was a yellow-green lyrium stone hanging from the ceiling, something we’ve apparently only seen before in the hissing wastes (around rifts). cole makes reference to it being a result of venatori trying to make red lyrium “less angry,” which i guess would make sense given all the blight around the lyrium? but who knows if they’re connected. it’s a pretty good bet that green lyrium is somehow touched or related to the Fade/sky in ways the blue stuff isn’t.

a lot about the spirit of regret made me wonder both about it and about solas. there was a lot to it that didn’t match up to solas’ motivations-- glee in the dread that was coming, for example, doesn’t match, calling itself the regret of a god. this is honestly expected as spirits don’t create perfect replicas, tho still interesting. and that what felled it wasn’t a lack of regret, but an ownage of said regret. idk i feel it has greater implications for “demons” because things like pride, desire, rage aren’t bad but natural human emotions, and sometimes necessary or even good. this ramble is just becoming the plot to pixar’s inside out. regret was a good and i wish things had ended less violently for it, even if it will likely reform in the fade. i will be putting more stuff out abt regret tbh b/c i like to think it and solas spoke prior to him leaving the inquisition but for now i’ll leave it be.

the implications for solas? - “I regret acting alone!” / “I regret using my friends!” / “I regret now!” as sutherland himself notes it seems like he was echoing the regret that drew it to skyhold, and all these things apply to solas 1000%. the thing about solas’ relationship with regret is that while he does “own it” in the sense that he will admit regretting-- a lot of things, and often-- his relationship with it is pretty unhealthy and doesn’t lead him to new paths, at least not as of now. he’s regretful but also feels stripped of other choices. - “There might have been a better choice, said a thought it had not been allowed.” this line makes me think about inquisitors who vowed to redeem solas, specifically thora, but what else is new there. namely, the lines at the end of his trespasser screne aren’t so much in the spirit of “save our friend from himself, if we can” but “i’ll show you there’s another way.” which is much closer to how i imagine the threat solas poses could be nullified (without just pure opposition, anyway, which imo may solve the solas dilemma but would just be slapping a bandage on a world that’s bleeding out). - that the final fresco became the scene of flemythal’s death and that the figure was both lupine and reptilian obvs confirms that it was absorption and not possession which, thanks i hated that theory for many reasons. whether the implication is that solas has lost some of his own identity as a result or it’s merely symbolic we’ll see, i guess. i do personally hc that it changes his relationship with his own magic and not necessarily for the better. - tbh the moral sutherland and the order from divine victoria is interesting considering-- regret did accept and move on? which has implications for more than just solas but spirits in general. idk i’ll talk abt this one more once a) i reread it and b) i read the other relevant stories for solas b/c i know there’s more

on a brighter note, it was sweet and so good to see the inquisition from the POV of people not in the inner circle. i loved the note of skyhold being stripped bare by people taking keepsakes, and how much it meant to sutherland

overall so far i think my fave has been three trees to midnight, i thought the chemistry between the characters rang the most true. i’ll have to go back and reread down among the dead mean as i know it has spirit-relevant stuff but i wanted to read horrors of hormak......... so.

oh i wanted to add if you’d like more coherent summaries, i’d suggest felassan’s tevinter nights tag. everything i talk abt in here will prob end up rewritten on solas or my multimuse (like the qunari stuff is relevant to tetrak) rn it’s just........... words.

#dragon age spoilers #tevinter nights spoilers #( ooc )#he calls himself Pride ( about )#[ my mind is real fuzzy now rip ]

Woah an idea just hit, I dunno if its good or bad... but here it is anyway. Lord Thrandiul Eyeing You - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Imagine a lavish party being held at King Thrandiul's palace for rich and important men and women, he held many like this before and you only decided to come to this one with very much persuasion from your friend . You worked as Thrandiul's Army's Leader which you were always stressed and a party like this will cut the edginess of you. You both are rich so your dresses were flawless but everyone thought yours was better♥. You and your friend were travelling in a horse and carriage, both peering out the small windows on either side, seeing other elves trying to see whom was riding in it, but they were unsuccessfull. The roads were slightly bumpy in the town but furthering into the castle's outsides went smoother, which was great because you were trying to keep your hair pristine and elegant. At last you arrived and it was only just turning dusk. The gems on your dress shimmered in the light of the rising moon. You entered into the ball room only to find everyone staring at you in awe, you were making your way down the steps that led into the main area. Male Elves were flirting with you but you ignored them and continued to have a good time with your friends. To your friends shock you said you were single but never had a man that treated you well enough to stay with. Other surrounding people heard you and passed it on around the room, eveything went awkward when guys were suddenly fetching you drinks and bringing you food, other women defended you and telling them to back off and let her enjoy hereself, you were surprised it worked. You regreted ever coming until King Thrandiul himself, grabbed the arm of a man that tried to slap your ass. He growled at him with a voice of thunder and told his gaurds to kick him out. " Are you alright " he said with a voice of soft as velvet, queit different to the one you just heard " I. I. Im ok " you said sweetly. "Come walk to the balcony with me my dear" said the Lord, you came hesitantly but gave your friends an apologetic look over your shoulder but they just smiled and waved. "How has your night been y/n" "it has been good my Lord except for the men trying to make me theirs". You both gave out a little chuckle and talked the night away, telling stories and drinking till you were almost tipsy. Thrandiul confesses that you look absolutely stunning for a person that always was seen in bulky armour, he also said that he watched you as you dance and was memorized by you every move. He puts his hand on you lap and strokes you thigh, he looks up at you and gives you the sweetest look you ever seen him give anyone . You realize that he he's giving hints, hints from his heart, the heart you thought was unshakeable and cold but was the complete opposite. You face starts going red and hot. Just as you opened your mouth, you felt it being shut by his index finger. "I know what your going to say y/n, I know you know that I love you, and I am sorry if I you do not feel the same" tears started dwelling in his eyes because he knew a king would never be with an army commander and the public would crisis. You never saw him this emotional before and it was a shock. You wipe way his tears and threw your arms around him and said " I only came this time because I wanted to see you! I...I love you too" you said joyfully and gave him a few kisses on the cheek and pulled away a couple moments later, you turned your head so he didn't see you huge smile that crept onto your face but he did and moved your head to his and kissed you with everything he had, his tongue pushed you lips apart and he ran it along the roof of your mouth. You let out a quiet groan and that fueld him more, his hands were sliding up and down your curves and yours were holding his face and pulling him closer with every breath. He whispered in you ear and asked you to come to his room, you agreed straight away and knew what was approaching. When you were walking through the rooms you noticed everyone has left and it was well past midnight, guards were all drunk and asleep and maids were cleaning up. Once you arrived to his room he layed you on his bed and sat of top of you, he wasn't heavy at all, just warm and you felt his deep desires pulsating though you. "Are you sure you want this too my love" "I'm sure" you replied simply but surely You pushed your hands under your back and unbuttoned you dress swiftly, and slipped it of in one quick movement. Thrandiul's eyes widen in appreciation. "Your turn " you said while giggling "Oh, uh sorry", You knew he was trying to cover up his enjoyment of seeing you nude. You watched him pick up your dress and place it upon a table with his robe,crown and trousers that he also took of. DO READ THIS BIT IF YOUR ARE WILLING TO GET SLIGHTLY GROSSED OUT ;) He lowers down and starts licking your puss, his tongue is warm and you start twitching in pleasure. With every flick of his tongue you start getting wetter and wetter, feelings that you never had before started twirling and messing with your body. He grabs your waist on both sides with both hands and was about to push into you before he askes you one more time if your ok that he does so, you obviously say yes because its already happening and you also want it to. It only takes one deep thrust for you to realize how long his dick actually is, he pushes into you slowly and gently to start off with ans gradually get harder and rougher "Uhhhh" you both say while panting and moaning Hes starting to get really rough he's slamming himself into you and all you can hear is the bed creaking violently, skin slapping against each other and moans, really loud moans, loud enough it made a maid come in to check what was going on, to her horror she saw the king naked and fucking a girl, she couldn't make out who it was untill she saw your dress, she bolted out and shut the door silently. She warned the other maids that there may be a new queen soon after hundreds of years without one (elves live for thousands of years btw). SLIGHTY GROSS BIT OVER The next morning you woke up early with Thrandiul still sleeping you just stare at him and was in absolute love you stroked a lock of hair out of his face and kissed his forehead he opened his eyes and said morning as if you were his wife and wakes up to you every morning but you weren't his wife and that was going to change in a few months time because he proposed to you and a cuople more you were married and expecting a child. #naughtysleepoveratthranduils #marriedtothranduil #legolashasahalfsisternow Ok that was a lot and I don't think it was very good but then again I dont like anything I do anyway lol. Please please tell me a way I can improve on my writings because I wanna try and produce interesting and not boring stories. ♥♥♥
