#them!!!!!!!!!)

Frankly speaking, I also don't know if what happened to me was because of the golden blood. But one thing's for sure. I'm very happy. I've never felt this way before in my life. So I'm begging you to give me a chance to prove myself. It's the chance for both of us.

she

let

him

bc literally, he was taking her power - power that she had, and he did not! she could've stopped him cold with a thought

and i don't think she knew 110% that morrigan would accept her. so this allowance... it wasn't just about letting him take her power; it was possibly about letting him take her life. that mythal, that particular aspect that had become very much its own person, influenced by and influencing countless people... that mythal might have died in that moment. and she knows that! she knew he would come, she expected it - she had time to think it through

and mythal has died. has been killed. this is not an abstraction for her: it is a recognized, familiar reality. but even if that was not the case for this aspect - if, say, she was split from the original mythal earlier on, embodied in flemeth while another mythal still lived - then she would still know death through the deaths she has seen, and potentially experienced through her hosts

and it's not just a matter of a choice made. it's a choice sustained. it's a choice - to let him take this from her - that dominates and controls the instinctual desire to live, to fight back

it is profound, and it is tragic, and it is as it always is with them, an inverse, a reversal, a shifting to the other one's view too late, never meeting at exactly the right moment... and only meeting at the right moment

to each their own ofc, but personally, i cannot correlate this moment with a view of her as a domineering force in his life. i cannot see her as the one holding his leash, thinking him less-then, exclusively using him

in trespasser, she lets him take her power

and in veilguard, another aspect of mythal lets rook - a stranger, an unknown - take her willing essence in order to, yes, stop the evanuris... and to help solas. both aspects - watcher!mythal and morrithal - refuse to fight him. they will not stand against him. and both aspects have sacrificed for him

just as solas has sacrificed for mythal. just as he sacrificed his core identity, his peace, his nature

he is shaped by his enduring love for mythal. a love that has spanned millennia and has been foundational in countless ways: some good, some bad; some healing, some wounding

but she, too, has been shaped by her enduring love for him. she has gone to her death - unwillingly and willingly alike - for him

they are immortal. they are spirit. they are flesh. they have been everything to one another: friend, lover, family, enemy
