Audio
...and also the only time that Solas of all people, is completely speechless, for once at a loss for words in response to an irrefutable argument.
Throughout the whole game (with a few exceptions in which he actually admits to having misjudged), whenever you get the chance to debate him on something you do not agree on, Solas, Mr “I’m a trillion years old, you know nothing, so listen carefully” will practically verbally jiu-jitsu you for every possible argument you might have, like, he’s an absolute master at playing Ace Attorney refuting any of your points, much like playing mind chess with Iron Bull, there is no chance to win an argument with Solas if he’s determined to have you recognize the flaw in your logic or at least understand his perspective, making you feel like this gif at the end of every debate.
But when Lavellan says “I would have had you trust me”, finally, there is no counter argument, no clever comeback, no objection... He has nothing. Because Lavellan is right and he knows. There’s just silence until he turns around and continues with the rest of the dialogue. And I think it’s interesting how this is kinda the culmination of all the little hints throughout the whole game at his ingrained distrust, leading up to this moment.
“An enemy can attack you, but only an ally can betray you. Betrayal is always worse.”
"The next time you have to mourn, you don't need to be alone."
“It’s been so long since I could trust someone.”
“That’s when you should lean on your friends.”
“Apologies, Inquisitor. I have learned not to do that.”
“I’ll rely on those I trust.”
"You think to share your power, to avoid the temptation to misuse it. A noble sentiment... but, ultimately, a mistake." (...) "Because while one selfless man may walk away from the lure of power's corruption... no group has ever done so."
“You created a powerful organization, and now it suffers the inevitable fate of such. Betrayal and corruption.”
"I trust my friends."
"I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory."
“She was betrayed as I was betrayed. As the world was betrayed!” - Flemeth about Mythal
You get the sense that him witnessing Mythal being betrayed and murdered by the Evanuris was probably the catalyst for his immense trust issues, so much so that it still has that big of an impact on him centuries later. And of course it has, when 1) it was this batrayal and power corruption that set everything in motion, it almost lead to the end of the entire world, which in turn lead to the creation of the Veil and finally the loss of his world and his people, 2) he has spent the last 1000 years walking the Fade, having to look at the ever present Black City in its center - their prison - as a constant reminder of what happened. (I know it’s not confirmed yet, but come on! 😂)
And then there is Lavellan (or any high approval Inquisitor for that matter) at the end of all this. Who proved him wrong with every action throughout DAI. Who has shown wisdom in their decisions and that the power they were given mustn’t corrupt them. That there is no reason for him not to trust them. And yet, he simply can’t, because the past still haunts him and centuries of history have taught him otherwise (and like a bunch of other reasons for him to not tell Lavellan the truth in that moment in Crestwood, but that’s beside the point here lol).
And then at the end of Trespasser, Lavellan finally throws it straight to his face, and while he could pull any of the excuses listed above, he simply can’t refute them anymore. Look at his expression as he just looks at them in response, at first still frowning for a second, as if he’s still about to argue them again, but then suddenly shifting into sorrow, slightly shaking his head in defeat. “I got nothing.” Solas, who easily managed to own you in any debate prior to this, is all out of arguments. It’s the final argument and the Inquisitor won.
(Well, technically, it even happens twice in this final conversation, if we’re counting Solas’ internal debate with himself. lol)
"We aren't even people to you."
"Not at first. You showed me that I was wrong."
But going back to his distrust, it surely can’t be a coincidence that this whole issue was also topic in a recent interview with DA4′s Creative Director, talking about what defines a hero.
I’ve talked about this numerous times now, like here, here or here, but what it all comes down to is basically just one more penny for the “Solas needs to learn how to trust again in order to be saved from himself” jar. lol
“We will save our friend from himself… if we can.”
Like. It’s literally his name. Pride. Saving Solas from himself does quite literally mean to strip him off his name and the belief that, to quote John Epler again, “only he has the answers, that he is the only one who can solve this” and to accept the help of others. Which is why he has to get a new name by the end of all this. I’m dying on that hill. 😂
#solas#trespasser#solavellan#that's my read on the whole thing anyway lol#I love this little moment so much#and his facial expression tells you everything#I wonder if we'll get a moment like this in DA4#''I would treasure the chance to be wrong once again my friend''#if we finally manage to prove him wrong once and for all#I would love the DA4 protag to be like ''Checkmate''#and Solas to acknowledge it respectfully#having to swallow his own pride#that's kinda my dream outcome I guess 😂#audio#language comparison#the biggest problem in all of this is just that.. Solas is quite literally the only one who's able to save his people (for now at least)#it's very much the ''Mordin Solus sentiment'' in ME3 in that he's like ''Has to be me. Someone else might get it wrong.''#which just so happens to be also written by Patrick Weekes lmao#like Solas IS the one who created the Veil so to him it's also his responsibility now to fix it again#like he's literally the only one with the knowledge AND the power to do this so.. no wonder he's trusting no one but himself lol

A few of you who were here on tungles abut 6 years ago might remember this Solavellan project I made. For numerous reasons (not least of all legalese ones because I used a copyrighted language in the lyrics), I couldn't and didn't formally release it.
Despite the uphill battle I faced during the creation process, I believed in the underlying idea and had always planned on remaking it into something but didn't know what. A few months ago, I finally just went with my gut and tried a full piano solo. It quickly expanded from the original and got a LOT more feral, but that still suits it.
#firjii's music#piano solo#dragon age fan music#solavellan#i'll tag people tomorrow in a reblog or whatever but for now just want to share it with the world before I forget lmao#also yes i know i need to stop posting stuff at 9pm bc at this point at night the americas are busy and the europeans are sleeping#(yes i'm still anti-spotify but you get the idea - if you see me post a link to big green it means it's also elsewhere or will be soon)

Hello & Happy Friday!
How about:
#15 - trembling hands and #30 - harsh whisper
for Solas and the OC of your choice.
from 'send me a number and I'll write a micro story'
Happy writing!
oooh ty! this was a fun one to think about. ended up going with my city elf inky, Atros
@dadrunkwriting
264 words
cws: veryyyy vaguely referenced prior triggering event
“I'm fine,” he snapped, glaring at Solas and his careful distance. “I'm fine,” he insisted again, approaching and fisting his hands in the mage's tunic. He wasn't going to freak out again—they wouldn't touch the bed and everything would be fine.
But only if Solas stopped walking on fucking eggshells around him. “You don't need to do this–” Solas began and Atros cut him off with a growl, shifting up on his toes to kiss him.
“What if I want to,” he said, rough and low, lips brushing Solas' as he spoke. “What if I want this?”
“I simply mean that we do not need to–”
“Shit!” He shook Solas a bit, trying to vent the sharp, bright flare of frustration. “Will you fucking stop! I don't need you to take care of me or fucking look at me the way you do! I'm not weak!” Solas sighed, hands raising to settle against Atros'.
“I never said you were,” he pointed out calmly. “And I never thought you were, either.”
“Then why are you acting like this?”
Solas squeezed his hands. “You're shaking,” was all he said—it took Atros a few moments to understand, then he ripped his hands away from Solas, crossing his arms as if to hide the evidence. “We do not need to do this now,” he said again.
“Fuck,” he bit out, feeling humiliated. “Just go, then.”
Solas lingered for a moment, a hand raising as if to reach out… then he drew his fingers back in towards his palm and let his hand drop, turning to leave Atros' quarters.
#broodwrites#dadw time#atros shiral#solas#lowkey rivalmance energy#solavellan#....sortaaa not rly but that would be the tag lmao. solas/male city elf inky

Confession: I’m losing my mind. I’m just new to the fandom and the lack of Dragon Age 3D porn is KILLING me. Especially with Solas like… I have a huge brainrot with Solavellan and my need for porn surrounding them is dire! Thank you AO3 for the smut content but the 3d porn… I need it.
#solas#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#bioware#dirty confessions#dirty confession#solavellan#i think this is one of those 'learn how to use the tools and make it yourself' situations#you can't just demand fandom content#lmao
