Solas’s complimentary level of charisma when Inky is a rogue: "You train to flick a dagger or an arrow to its target. The grace with which you move is a pleasing side benefit." Inky: "So you're suggesting I'm graceful?" Solas: "No. I am declaring it. It was not a subject for debate." Sir.

Solas probably would have loved Bastille Day.

It’s Nonbinary Awareness Week (and International Nonbinary People’s Day), which is why we’ve decided to compile a list of 18 nonbinary authors you can read from this week—and all year round! All of these authors have some amazing—and extensive!—backlists that you can check out any time 💛🤍💜🖤

I absolutely love the Hinterlands in Dragon Age Inquisition. Because most of the stuff there is helping refugees, the farmers, gathering supplies, dealing with troublesome bandits, mages vs. templars, the Venatori, & of course the rifts. In DAI we’re is out there meaningfully helping people.

they escaped the narrative :’) #solavellan

Personally, the only person in an official position and capacity I enjoy hearing DA opinions and insights on is DG.

The thing is a Fen’Harel boss fight would be the hottest thing under Solavellan lens because it’s basically Inky vs Solas - they’re sparring, having a bit of feisty foreplay and then it ends with Inky winning (obviously) and Solas getting kissed to oblivion. You know, for science.

Trespasser ending with Inky losing their arm, Inquisition dissolved, Tevinter/Quanri war plot, their elven Fade Expert be ancient elven God of tricks with spies, being responsible for chantry/breach/anchor & go fix his mistake via total annihilation of world doesn’t seem very hopeful or happy.

Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider doesn't think BioWare's fantasy series will return while owned by publisher EA — though knows what he'd do if a fifth game was ever made. bit.ly/4faeMzR

All I would ask is a boss fight with Fen’Harel, and to you know actually play a DA game made by those who love DA and don’t dislike their own customers …a high bar I know.

NiNi has a belief known as the Robin Hood clause, for other folks. She will turn a blind eye. She hasn’t stolen anything…although she will be a cheesy girlie & say she “stole the fearsome & infamous Fen’Harel’s heart” *cue an audible groan of bemused annoyance from Solas in the background*

I love pirate shenanigans with a side of assassin stuff.

Once upon a time there was a video game called Resident Evil Requiem where one of the ending involving “Elpis” which in Greek translates to “Hope” encompassing both the anticipation of good & an optimistic outcome in grim times. Some horror games can have hope & things will get better. Amazing!

Solas || Trespasser [Dragon Age Inquisition]

Weird how argument on Solas is bad “because he thinks only he can fix everything” and I’m like yes? you want him to deny responsibility? That would be actually be bad. Because make no mistake the Veil is a bad thing, it’s also massively unstable & he ruined the lives of elves because of it.

I could be doing the most mundane of things and my brain will suddenly think “I love the Dread Wolf.” 😅

Promise Consort Radahn in Elden Ring’s Shadow of The Erdtree dlc, partly due to being burnt out and finding the fight a bit dull.

Playing as a Welsh pirate and I’m thinking of Pirate Solas 😂🤷🏻

Yup NiNi can dance after Solas gave her many, many lesson. Josephine was going to hire an instructor for formal dances for the Winter Palace, but Solas volunteered.

Wearing my Solas T Shirt while running errands & every time I look down I see his goofy face (affectionate) 💚

The colours are truly gorgeous.

Kirkwall Viscount Varric Tethras is alive & well, probably causing Hawke some shenanigans.

“You summoned that demon! Except it was a spirit of wisdom at the time. You made it kill. You twisted it against its purpose!” & “You bound it to obedience, then commanded it to kill. That is when it turned.”

I shall say this once but in 2026 any “publication” writing clickbait “articles” critiquing DA4 & use a photo of non binary Qunari character then that publication is going in the bin. The character was fine, they were never the problem! I wish these rw grifters would go away quite frankly☹️

Can I just answer "every line Solas ever said" as a favourite because I really am that down bad for him 🤡

I love having #Solas & #Blackwall in the blighted future - the look the 2 companions share gives me shivers when it's them. 2 traumatized veterans with secrets and shame who decide, with one look, to die by each other's side for a slim hope the worst fate can be fixed. Atonement.

charismatic elf with a head filled with fascinating lore and stories, face peppered in lipsticks marks (Inky’s doing).

NiNi learnt to be good at it with meditations, taking time for herself in terms of little things since holidays were impossible. Going for a hike, baking some sweet treats, & having Spa days with Vivienne.

The reason why DA triology is mentioned isnt about erasing DA4, on the contrary such a measure would be foolish in my humble opinion, DA4 is a DA game I mean so much is obvious. The reference to trilogy comes from the head writer & original creator DG being at the helm of the last three. Simples!

I do find it a little bit amusing in 2026 to be scolded for liking Solas & being Solavellan because Solas has committed crimes. Yes he has, loads! but he’s fictional in a game hurting nobody. If one cannot handle another enjoying well written villain fictional stories then 🤷🏻

Dragon Age Inquisition & Baldur’s Gate 3. ✨

See when put together in comparison Solas really was a so villainous in DAI & Trespasser which isn’t addressed or acknowledged which is so sad.

So excited for Lara Croft and ofc supporting our girl Alix (Hawke & Inky’s VA) 💚 variety.com/2026/digital...

It is weird spending ages in character creation making your protagonist look stunning in an “rpg game” only to play the game & they’re written so poorly with an unlikable fake personality they become loathsome. But they look nice, ok? yay?

Thinking about Dragon Age Solas again. Because complex morally colourful characters are fascinating.

Slow, intense, long, sometimes it’s tantric and satisfying. NiNi does have a few fantasies that Solas is more than happy to fulfil because he’s a giver and being an ancient elf & former spirit of wisdom the possibilities are endless.

why are people only ever described as "no-nonsense", what if you're a nonsense person, what then

Well…😅 NiNi has no idea, one minute she’s having her vallaslin removed, gets told she’s beautiful, receives the best kiss and asset squeeze the next he breaks up with her.

At some point along the years it becomes like Solavellan isn’t so much a phase as just a part of a fun* hobby, such is the power of Dragon Age being that awesome. 😅 Also the possibilities with Solavellan are endless.

Solas asking the right questions in the Deep Roads but also… 👀

"The vallaslin are sacred for the elves. I didn't grow up Dalish, but they are not the only ones who have a claim on being elven. My tattoos represent who I am.” Protag & their cultural appropriation a sacred thing from a marginalized, discriminated & exploited ppl preserving their heritage.

Get this man some electrolytes and an SPF! #Solas #DragonAge

That one guy in a gaming discord that does “performative equity” stuff will constantly make statements of “not being a coward or weak” to being *insert a female body part here* because the true misogynist within always pops out. (This is a silly vent but in 2026 we girlies aren’t the weak ones)

There are moments when wondering for the nth time Inquisitor NiNi Lavellan reacting to Solas saying “I couldn’t tell you I was Fen’Harel you’d be angry.” And NiNi would say: “had I known you were Fen’Harel I would’ve ridden you to Rivain & back, twice.” Because she is that outrageous in her humor.✋🏻😂

NiNi: Am I the A-hole for banishing the VG & granting the love of my life the peace he wishes & fixing his mess. TLDR: I fell in love with the elven God of Trickery who started a revolution to end slavery, made an unstable barrier that stripped immortality from my people & threatens the entire world

Be cool if there was a funkopop for Trespasser Solas, & Dragon Age Inquisition Solas.

NiNi is a recurring character in DA as she was the grey warden in Origins, Hawke in DA2, & finally Inky in DAI which is what stuck the most. Until Inquisition she always had black hair but then I had a silly HC to have the anchor turn her hair white. In a way she gets reincarnated for each game

"And he does, indeed, go on." When I start a rant, there's really no stopping me, and apparently I ranted enough during my chat about AI with @woodwould.bsky.social that he was able to write an entire other article about it. 😅
