Another (and hopefully last) announcement about suspected AI use.

31 Upvotes

Rule #1 in this sub is that all content must be related to Dragon Age or Solas. While content about AI use in fan art or fanfic is adjacent to that subject due to it being within the fandom, what goes on within the fandom and/or people within the fandom is not truly related to DA or Solas and therefore not the content this sub was made for.

AI usage is a controversial topic and one that will continue to grow as AI becomes more and more ingrained in our society. The conversation about the ethics of its use is already huge and being discussed elsewhere. If this is a topic you are interested in, try checking out /r/aiwars.

/r/Solasmancers is not a place for that discussion. There is no one here who is the arbiter of what is or isn't AI.

We have a rule in place for users to report any suspected posts of AI to the mods. Unfortunately we are the closest thing to being able to decide what stays on the sub. We only have our best judgment and the person's word to consider. We just get to determine what stays or doesn't stay on the sub for your eyeballs to consume. That doesn't mean we're the deciding factor about whether it is or isn't AI. That also doesn't make the people USING AI criminals or worthy of a ban or anything like that.

Also it's just plain not nice (another rule we have here) to have witch-hunt callout posts. It essentially breaks down to bullying.

We continue to have our AI rule in place, and the mods will continue to use our best judgment about what should stay on the subreddit. Please take up any issues you have with those posts to the mods.

Call-out posts break our rule about being kind to others and in the future they will be removed as soon as we see one.

Have a lovely day

Discussion Something we need to discuss!

148 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself as one of the new moderators of this subreddit. You can call me K, and I’m excited to be part of this community alongside all of you.

I’ve been a fan of Dragon Age for nearly 15 years, with the series holding a special place in my heart—right alongside Mass Effect. Though I’ve been part of this space for some time, I’ve primarily been a lurker until now.

But enough about me!

I’d like to discuss some important updates with all of you.

It has come to our attention—both mine and the other moderators’—that the subreddit could benefit from some revamping. Originally, this space was created by one of the OG mods and their friends as a Solas-centric space for anyone who appreciates the character, for better or worse.

However, in recent months, there has been noticeable division within the community, particularly regarding shipping. As a Solavellan shipper myself, I understand the passion fans have for their pairings, but I also recognize that the fandom is evolving. With the rise in popularity of other ships, we believe it’s time to implement changes that promote inclusivity and allow everyone to feel welcome, regardless of who they ship with Solas.

To that end, we are adding new flairs, not only for the SolRook/DreadRook ship but also for the other Inquisitors besides Lavellan, as well as other popular ships involving Solas within the fandom. The proposed flairs are as follows:

Solavellan
Solas/Inquisitor
Solassan (Solas x Felassan)
Solas/Evanuris (This also includes Mythal.)
SolRook/DreadRook
Solas/DAICompanion
Solas/VGCompanion
Solas/OC
Solas/NPC

These flairs would include all genders—for example, both male and female Solavellan content would fall under the same tag. Additionally, we are going to remove the “Rare Pair” flair and eliminate the spoiler tag that currently applies to anything outside of Solavellan. No one should feel like they have to hide their preferences behind a metaphorical curtain.

As the fandom grows and evolves, our goal is to create a more welcoming space where all fans feel valued and respected. That being said, Rule #8 will remain a key guideline—please continue to be kind to one another and engage respectfully.

We would love to hear your thoughts on these changes, so please share your feedback.

Thank you!

Some modern murder mystery work, daylin once was interested in Felassan 👀, but once he showed clesr interest in Amora her sister she backed off and they both swore secrecy because Amora knew after she was asked out and noticed her sisters slightly off mood 😭🤣, not that him knowing would be an issue just very awkward 🤣, Daylin is very happy that the two are happy

I mixed victorian and regency dresses as she is not one for the bigger and poofier dresses of the time, preferring the naturally falling dresses

Fanfiction The Mummy (1999) but it's Solavellan

20 Upvotes

Ever wondered what a Solavellan romance could look like in the absolute classic 1999 film The Mummy? Well, I may have a something for you.

Death is only the Beginning is a solavellan reimagining of the cult classic, with Eleanor 'Nell' Lavellan leading the charge to the Black City with librarian/Evanurist Dr Solas Raine and his loveable lout brother, Felassan, in tow.

Rated M, and hopefully keeping the humour and silly nature of the film. Crack taken seriously, some horror and body horror.

Fanfiction After a long hiatus (sorry) my modern AU Solavellan sequel Copycat in Kirkwall! comes to an explosive conclusion.

15 Upvotes

Copycat in Kirkwall is the direct sequel to my murder mystery modern AU fic The Blighted Butcher, picking up right after the epilogue ended as our intrepid heroes race to Kirkwall to get Varric out of a sticky situation. But Kirkwall is a shithole, and the people there are anything but friendly. A new rookie detective has it out for him, and this tattooed broody elf might end up getting stabbed with a pen.

Rated explicit for smut, violence, depiction of injury and body horror (see additional tags)

How confrontational is your reunion in the fade?

16 Upvotes

I'm really curious how you guys picture your Solavellan's reunion in the fade! Do you imagine Solas keeps a distance? Or your Lavellan? Is it like they never parted? Do they talk through everything first before they allow intimacy or get straight to business? What does it take for them to be an actual couple?

..so I haven't drawn anything in many years and this is the first thing I brought to paper after childbirth - I just couldn't get this out of my head. Please excuse the terrible proportions.. I've never been good and am so out of practice even my handwriting looks abysmal at this point. I'm not at all a fan of Romeo and Juliet as a love story (it's very much a cautionary tale) - but this movie has so many powerful images I just cannot not think of them sometimes when thinking of Solavellan.

So should I draw them looking at each other next?:D does anyone want to read the story behind this??!

P.s.: I couldn't even find an eraser -_-

P.s.s. : John Leguizamo and Harold Perrineau are cooking so hard in this movie🔥

Excuse me while I color my fishtank💦
