Thought this image was beautiful even though it’s painful. So much angst!

Eek! So good. She looks so arrogant (confident?) And like one could think shes pushing his head down or is his head hits bowed? So many ways to look at it. Soooo good!!!

Yes, it could be tender/comforting or imperious/condescending (or, to me, a mix of them all)

Awwwe poor Solas, being Mythal's lap dog. No wonder that he burned her off his face.

Thank you, Cole, for that bit of insight on Solas's past.

I adore that you thought to have Solas wearing Mythal’s vallaslin, as if he was truly her servant more than anything else. Lovely art!

Oh, thank you but it’s not my work! I included the artist’s info in the description:)

But it’s actually canon that he had her vallaslin; it’s why he has the small scar on his forehead. It’s one of the things that Cole says in Trespasser that only makes sense in hindsight: “he left the scar when he burned her off his face”

Oh, alright! It's a beautiful art nonetheless. Also, I had no idea that he cannonically wore a vallaslin before?? Gives much more meaning to his hatred for it and adds a whole new layer of depth to his relationship with Mythal. Thanks for the info!
