Figure It Out

Newsflash. No man needs a bitch telling him to eat rabbit food and nagging him constantly.

Robbie Rotten from LazyTown fucks to survive!

This is painted in Solas’s style, meaning it could be another work of his similar to the murals found in Trespasser. For all speculation past this point, I will assume such.

1. The Idol

Carved from red lyrium, depicting an crone-like figure holding a body by the head. The crone looks to the sky. Upon her head is a diamond shape found in imagery of both Andraste and Mythal. The crone’s skin seems stretched, almost mummified, while the second body is more emaciated and skeletal.

2. The Surrounding Circle

Whether or not this is a representation of magic being cast, a barrier around the idol, or simply symbolic of the narrative, it could have more significance than given at first glance. There are seven domes around the outside of the circle: five dim, and two filled with light. This could be a connection to the five slain archdemons and the two that still slumber beneath Thedas, Razikale and Lusacan. Otherwise, the pattern has no other connections I can think of at this time.

3. The Figure

An unknown elf standing on burning ground. We’ve seen how Solas paints himself, so it is safe to say that this is not another self portrait. The figure has shoulder length, light hair and is dressed in a fur cloak. They are holding a staff similar in shape to The Heart of Pride and seem to be either blocking the Dread Wolf or casting a spell. They stand in front of a tree.

4. The Barren Tree

A tree burnt by the fire covering the landscape. Either ash or paint covers its side. The city elves living in alienages plant a lone tree in the center called a Vhenadahl, symbolising everything that the elves have lost when Arlathan fell. The composition of the mural places the elf in front of the tree, almost protecting what remains of elven culture from the wolf looming over it.

5. The Wolf

Compared to how Solas has painted the Dread Wolf before, this representation is downright sinister. The glowing eyes and sharp teeth make this enormous figure all the more menacing. The swirls of paint in the body give it a smoke-like texture.

Say what you will about Glee, but this is the only Th*nksgiving BOP.

me at 14: wow, protagonists in media my age! how relateable!

Me at 14: oh protagonists that are 17-20-ish, they’re basically adults, right?

Marnie in Halloweentown: I’m thirteen, okay? I’m practically grown up! I’m certainly old enough to make my own choices – right?

Me at 7: Right!

Me at 13: Right! …Well, okay, maybe not practically grown up, but still, right!

Me at 28:

“I’m attracted to women.”

Everyone turned and looked at me and I was like “uhhh” so I finished.

“I’m attracted to women and I can still do my job. Regardless of what someone in my class is wearing. I can still teach. So why can’t you?”
