Solavellans

Solas || Fen’Harel really was beautiful.

Madame Vivienne De Fer.

Being in love with the dread wolf would be giving up a few minor things but never NiNi’s freedom.

How it feels being a Dragon Age fan since last week.

Chaos mostly. 🤭

Oh 😭

we didn’t have a petition to save Dragon Age since it has been dead for the last 12 years.

So EA being bought by [redacted] and co. and what the implications of that meant didn’t cross a line (morally, ethically, the very thing we even liked & championed BioWare games for) but this does it, this is the /last straw/.

Phone having internet, a camera, and being an affordable way to have a literal computer and more in your pocket. Clothes are better quality and last for years. Food is great, way more awareness for allergies Hair dye is way better now There are a myriad of things but these are a few.

BioWares pioneered the LGBTQIA representation we see in AAA video games today and took a lot of crap for it.

You are the author of your own story, and you’re not doomed by the narrative others bestow upon you.

I never worked on the ME franchise, but I did play the shit out of the games (and felt a bit envious about some things that team seemed to do so effortlessly). My heart goes out to those who were on the current team, cooking up something wonderful only to have it yanked away. This looks SO good. 😭

Ruin a song by adding “In my pants” Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard In My Pants

Thriving off copium that the DA IP will be sold now 😅 otherwise fine, just in Solavellan Hell forever.

Realising what happened to DA nearly two years and the beautiful legacy it had completely destroyed for egotistical sudo-conservative reasons is where the grief and sadness and anger lies. A trilogy and story so precious and helpful in life to be tarnished. That’s why the BioWare thing is just meh.

DA4 Solas photos on my tl needs a trigger warning because please get that yassified plastic monstrosity away from me, and also Solas looks terrible. 🥁😂

“Sexuality certainly doesn’t have to be a character’s story, but in this case I felt like I had something to say. I’d never had the opportunity to put a piece of myself in a character I was writing, so it was a very personal experience.” www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-i...

I know it's a meme but, I'll admit, this one got me. 😔

If you ever wondered why the first Dragon Age took over 6 years to develop (and almost got canceled), this article goes into partly why: the team couldn't agree on what *kind* of fantasy our new fantasy game was going to be. Yes, there's an alternate universe out there where it was more Conan. 😉

Say what you will about BioWare but, at its height, it was the best at what it did and I'm very honoured to have trained and worked with some of the finest folks in the industry. I've been away 10 years now, but I'll always be glad for my time there. *Salute*

As much as it's not really a surprise, especially given the industry right now coupled with the Saudi sale, the news today still made me sad. BioWare joins other great studios of the past, with a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. 😔 www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...

.......... Dark Knight trilogy probably?

I got hired by BioWare in 2024 (I think) to make a huge rainbow foil poster for their webshop and it sold out in 24 hours. I think someone even got their poster signed by the voice actor who played Solas which was so cool. I’m sad for those who lost their jobs, it’s such a beloved studio

Their story started and ended here, and it’s for the best.

The idea of “look it’s Solavellan Fade Prison” as a source of comfort is just plain insulting because it’s the most generic, conservative, uwu poor freed elf save go to jail with his partner who also goes to jail the end uwu. It’s gross. Thankfully VG isn’t canon and never will be, but jfc.

Solavellan Hell truly is eternal.

Also: Dragon Age 2 is an incredible video game that took storytelling swings no one else was even considering in 2011, had one of the best ensembles in any medium, and was a goddamn feat of development that got made in A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. Haters can get bent, Kirkwall 4 life

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

Anyways on to something very incredible youtu.be/I_n4aqsFiGE?...

Not really feeling anything given the new owners giving them any form of support or money is just plain wrong. And a myriad of other reasons that have been there for over a decade.

Whenever I see a take of Solas “murdering” Flemythal I clock out, because I know where that take is from and it’s a really nonsensical retcon that later contradicts itself as the “story” progresses it becomes redundant. Even moreso when the story didn’t even allow Solas to be a villain.

Being the accidental herald of Fen’Harel, for better or worse…
