The "Dark Solas Theme" came on shuffle so that was that.

i used to post at least one of these every other day

Alchemy saying "cool opinion, can't remember asking tho"

Elder Memes saying "not to worry, I have a permit". The permit says "I can post whatever I want".

A daedric triad cultist with text "weird hill to die on, but at least you're dead"

Shadow the hedgehog in Cyrodiil with text "that's not even a bruh moment, what the hell is wrong with you"

Haven't had a chance to check out the new #BG3 update yet, but all the hype made me want to sketch one of my faves. 💜

Also made some new CSP brushes for the first time ever & figured I'd try them out on Shadowheart, haha.

The current system of care is fractured, while delays and denials become nonsensical or even fatal where for-profit insurance companies hold more power over even your doctor to save your life.

Vaporized Bard 🏹 @vaporizedbard.bsky.social · Dec 10

I dont want us to sweep this all under the rug again.

I dont want us to fall slack against the unrestrained greed of those without compassion, ethics, or public interest, unfeeling for the lives they hold and crush in the palms of their hands.

I hope that we don't stop caring about the catastrophic failings of our healthcare system now that we know the guy's identity.

Now that I feel I've waited a sufficient amount of time, I'll just add a pic of it here — but still tagging #VeilguardSpoilers just in case!

Also cackling to myself about how people were yelling at me for suggesting Solas might've initially told some Dalish that he was the Dread Wolf, but in DAtV Solas himself confirms it.

Vaporized Bard 🏹 @vaporizedbard.bsky.social · Dec 2

My one alternative statement appears to be that perhaps he also feared the possibility of one or more of the Evanuris being freed. That could also be why he was so adamant about strengthening the Veil via his Artifacts in Inquisition.

Vaporized Bard 🏹 @vaporizedbard.bsky.social · Dec 2

Yes! This is all pretty much exactly what I said above, haha. He feared what would happen once the last of the Archdemons was defeated and all seals broken, and thus the cataclysmic fall of the Veil without his power to guide it.

And, as we know, dragons have certain natural resistances to the Blight, and were thought to be 'divine' per an Inquisition codex stating that:

As in, the Blight killed them without the immortality afforded to them by their Archdemon.

And, although I haven't seen it confirmed via codex, it can be presumed that the slaying of the Archdemon tethered to its respective member of the imprisoned Evanuris caused their death as an eventual consequence, similar to what we see of a very Blighted Elgar at the end.

Please avert your eyes from my misplaced comma.

Thus, giving the Orb to Corypheus. It was a race against time as of Inquisition's start.

Maybe enough that the remaining blighted gods could escape, Blight the world, and the Veil would fall far more violently than he ever intended? All before, he was restored to enough power to ever try to stop them.

He HAD to wake up at the precise time he did before it was too late, as the Blights and, thus, slaying of Archdemons were weakening the Veil.

So, I've been marinating on this thought regarding Solas being so upset about Wardens slaying Archdemons all these years.

He essentially feared/foresaw the events of DAtV?

Truly wild seeing so many posts under the guise of curiosity asking why this or that thing "doesn’t add up," or "doesn't make sense," and the question itself reveals how little they actually pay attention to the lore, because 9/10 it's really just a poor attempt to disparage the game and its writers

Vaporized Bard 🏹 @vaporizedbard.bsky.social · Nov 14

Gotta say, I really do like the soundtrack — how certain songs really carry this heavy, lumbering feeling...

It took a few listens to grow on me, but I've come to appreciate it more now.
