#solamancer

for having thought of them, and some of my favorite/thematic lyrics from them. Some of them just fit how i think my lavellan or solas felt.

• Pretend.Relive.Regret by Emarosa

“Take me all this way, And tonight you can stay .

Cuz you know what it feels like. When you've gotten so cold on the inside. Walking away.

And I... I will move on.

And I will move on.

I will move on.

I will move on.

Cuz it takes a while to stop waiting up

To get over the need, your loss, wasting time with you.

But I'll take a life for you

To spend my life with you,

And in the end you always leave.”

• The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives

“I could have been anyone, anyone else

Before you made the choice for me

My feet knew the path

We walked in the dark, in the dark

I never gave a single thought

To where it might lead…

The moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made

With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me”

• Big God by Florence + the Machine

“Well, you can never know

The places that I go

I still like you the most

You'll always be my favorite ghost

You need a big god

Big enough to hold your love…

Shower your affection, let it rain on me

And pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea”

• Love Love Love by Big Thief

“Underneath love

Avoidance and pride

I look you in the face and lie

I tell you I want your love

You're the cigarette in my fist

You are so hard to resist

I can't help but breathe your love…

I'm dreaming of release, my love

Release my love, my love…”

•Delete Forever by Grimes

“Lying so awake, things I can't escape

Lately, I just turn 'em into demons.

Don't you tell me now that I don't want it. I see everything. I see everything.

But I did everything, I did everything

White lines on a mirror, then a song.”

• Savior Complex by Phoebe Bridgers

“You want blood and I promised

I'm a bad liar

With a savior complex

All the skeletons you hide

Show me yours, and I'll show you mine”

• Somebody That I Used to Know by Elliott Smith

“I watched you deal in a dying day

And throw a living past away

So you can be sure that you're in control

You're just somebody that I used to know”

•Wolf by Now, Now

“I would kill to be your clothes

Cling to your body and hang from your bones

But I could make a mark If you would let me start

I would kill to be the cold

Tracing your body and shaking your bones

But I can't sleep at night

I can't sleep at night”

• Allies or Enemies by The Crane Wives

“What happens now? Do we have another go? Do we bow out and take our separate roads?

I’ll admit I’ve had my doubts

But I want to be let in, not out

Are we allies or enemies?

This will be the death of me

This will be the death of me

All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore

This will be the death of me”

• Atrophy for Lethargy by Wayne Szalinski

“My face has grown old, my face has grown old

I'm sick to the stomach and I made it so

My mind has grown old, my body's necrosed

My muscles are atrophied and I made it so

My heart has grown cold, my heart has grown cold

A tribute to @kirstinetheartist's beautiful Mellan Lavellen.

I just adore her. 💕 Your art is simply gorgeous.

Outfits are a modern style...

So I am prepping for my next round of self mutilation. 

For my first playthru I basically ran Team OG: Solas, Cass and Varric. It was very enjoyable.

I want to run thru again, make a number of conversational choices I didn’t before. With Solas’ involvement with the Fade and his fondness for Cole - I KNOW I am going to run with Cole constantly once he arrives. I must guard my spirit son.

I’m unsure how to compose my party past that.

Elf mage once again (I’m fond of my OC I’ve developed here) with Solas, Cole but Iron Bull as my front man this time. I’ve read some of the banter is really enjoyable.

The remaining set is: Elf warrior tank with Solas, Cole, [Dorian / Viv / Sera] swapped out on whims.

Or has anyone even tried a full Mage team? Does that even work out? Though, you don’t get to unlock goodies if you do that...

I just did my first full play thru, romancing Solas from the start and I got the “hidden” ending for Trespasser. My heart hurts. Please give me some fic recommendations. Your fav pictures. Anything. Please take pity upon your comrade. 

I managed to stay away from my husband Cullen long enough to trigger the Solas romance.

THAT KISS WAS ADORABLE.

But I have one question.

How did we go from talkie-talkie in the study “Let’s go somewhere private to talk” 

To bed?

Part 1 

“Pride is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what would have others think of us.”

“The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and everyday confirms my belief of the inconsistencies of all humans.”
