Dahlia meets a Dread wolf.

Can’t beat that shit.

I don’t give a fuck that Lucanis has cool wings and the Thedas equivalent of Batman or Emmrich looks like the undead.

Solas makes physical contact and then acts like it was all you like the adorable bad liar he is.

Then stands like this:

Question: What is the greatest magic of all? Answer: Friendship, right? [B]: The greatest magic of all is not friendship, it's chronomancy, the ability to control and warp time. If friendship were the greatest magic, look, it's a pet peeve of mine (...)

"When did I say that I would save you?" is such a Solas line.

Like, in the Veilguard gameplay trailer, he has the "People are always dying. It's what they do." And it comes across as so villain mustache twirly IGAF. But those of us who understand Solas know that it's a lament! He's upset that people are always dying and that his actions have contributed to it!

"When did I say that I would save you?" hits the same villain mustache twirly IGAF vibes. But he's not saying he doesn't care. He's saying, "You asked me to kill the beast, not save your village. WTF are you still doing here?" Like it's such a spirit of wisdom, deer in the headlights, that wasn't part of the plan that we discussed, why would you automatically assume you are safe? Evacuate the village, you idiots.

Solas understand what's going on. He can't understand why other people don't understand what's going on. That's why he comes across as such an asshole in so many situations. Like, talking about the Wardens, for example. He knows what the Blight is. He fought against a bunch of gods who tried to use it. Of course, he's going to think the Wardens are fucking crazy. No, he's not going to explain why to everyone - isn't it obvious?!?! If you're too stupid to understand, why should I explain it to you?!?! "This is beyond your comprehension."

He's such a self-destructive idiot.
