I agree with you that Luke can't be Reyes (too pale, not latino), but I def. don't see him as white (maybe it's just a french pov, since my friends see him as POC too. and maybe this person has a similar pov)

Yeah, Luke’s definitely not pasty like me lol. He’s a (darker skinned) white British-Italian dude, with Sicilian and Neapolitan heritage that he’s proud of. 

The thing with the post I was referencing was that some of the people who wanted to fancast Luke as Reyes were the people arguing that Reyes “might not be Latino” and “could be caucasian,” before we got confirmation from his writer - and that a lot of the people who object to Luke as Reyes do so because Luke isn’t a Latino actor and certainly not because they want to fancast a dude with a lighter skin tone instead!

but there isn't samson masterpost anymore :'(

HA yeah, the theme does have a shitty side effect of not having enough space for everything in your navigation. I took down the link to my AO3 account too. I’ll probably mess with that area to see if I can put all my links back up and still have it be useable.

Never fear, though, the masterpost will always live at solas-you-nerd.tumblr.com/samson forever and always, just like my love for Samson.

Hey I read your post about your "art-ing gloves", can I know more about that? (because sweat and art are not friends xx)

Avatar

AAAH my friend! I know what it is like...I hope you don't mind if I publish this so I might share one of my favorite art tool websites!My "Arty glove" refers to this thing right here!

It's basically just a glove missing a few fingers, but the material is really light and breaths really well, it's supposed to keep one from smudging your traditional work, but for digital artists with sweaty palms it keeps your hand from skipping and sliding on your tablet!it's really upped my productivity now that I don't have to wrestle with tissues or stop to let my hand cool down!

I recommend buying it from Jetpens.com!It costs $16.99 there, which is like I said, a little pricey--BUTAll orders over $25 gets FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE US, EVERYDAY.And shipping is SUPER QUICK, usually it doesn't take more than a week for my orders to come (one time my order came in like, 4 days it was awesome)GO CHECK IT OUT!

(P.S. make sure you check out the sizing guides!)

Hey, i'm doing a thing about Cullen's scent and I don't know who says the line about it? I suspect Vivienne but I'd prefer to be sure

Avatar

Hi there. The lines happen in multiplayer, not in the regular game. The Alchemist is the one who says what he smells like, and she’d presumably be able to identify the scent composition. In the game, she’s the lone dwarf sitting under a tree by the stables (I think), which might explain why she’d know how Cullen smells, since he’s in the lower courtyard before he gets his office.

Hope that helps. If you haven’t done multiplayer, she’s one eccentric lady. Here’s her wiki entry.

13: Do they have any favourite foods? Would they eat it all the time if they had the chance? What do they hate to eat?

He doesn’t have a particular favorite food - he’s the type to eat most things, even his terrible cooking (which sometimes results in him getting sick at times!). Although if he had the choice to eat anything that he wanted, he does have a taste for cheese! If he had to pick something he would hate to eat for the rest of his life, it would be liver!

16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?

Choices that are pro-mage is a given. He tries to help those around him that are in-need. As the Inquisitor, he’s in a position where he is able to help and not be harrassed / attacked for being a mage - although it does happen. They look down on things that hurt others.

He also likes to give people second chances, whether or not he personally thinks they don’t deserve it. He does get personally offended if people take his offer for a second chance and threw it away (looking at you Denam) and he doesn’t give third chances if it’s a serious betrayal.

21: Name an embarrassing situation that your muse has been in.

Accidentally being in the middle of a love triangle between the Iron Bull and Cassandra (whoops!). He was a bit of a flirt when he was getting to know his Inner Circle before he chose to be with someone (he stopped flirting, of course) but ended up with several people interested (WHOOPS). By the end of Trespasser though, things have worked out between all three. So cue relationship shenanigans for the first year or so as the Inquisitor!

Thanks for asking!! (and hope I chose the right question post!)

Differences aren't the point in headcanon and what make the fandom world interesting?

You’d think :P and yeah, I don’t mind the fact that that person saw character X in a more positive light than I do… but I do mind being told that I read canon wrong, that Their Interpretation is the One True Interpretation™ (ETA especially when their reading is of the “you’ve never done anything wrong, ever” variety -- snore and barf all rolled into one)

Aha yes racists being racists ... Reyes is not even a pale latino like Diego Luna or Oscar Isaac (it's still racist to whitewash them but white reyes is an absolute nonsense in addition of racism)

Absolutely - some Latinx people have lighter skin tones, but they’re still Latinx. And some white Europeans can be really tan, but they’re still white. 

So I can kinda see where the confusion comes from, if someone’s not aware of an actor’s nationality/ethnicity - but it just seems like if you’re not sure, then isn’t it better to fancast someone you know is Latinx?

tmi tuesday : How does Ellara show her affection to Samson? (in the small gestures)

Avatar

In the small ways? Food, mostly. She’ll always bring him bits of something to eat, or shares her meal with him if they’re somewhere private. For the Dalish, eating is a community activity, you share with your food with the clan and the people you care about. You might even save the best pieces of meat (the fatty cuts, yum) for someone special. There’s been a few nights she shows up with a warm roll, slices of bacon, or a hunk of cheese.

Sometimes she sends back field sketches in her letters of landscapes or monuments she’s seen that she think would interest him. He’s not really the outdoorsy type, but there’s usually some kind of interesting story she sends along with each sketch. It makes him feel a little bit closer even if they’re miles apart.

They’re not very physically affectionate in public, but she’ll give a squeeze of his hand, or brush by him, or bump her hip into him if they’re in a semi-private spot, or surrounded by friends.

She shares her people’s stories with him, too. She thinks it’s a sign of trust that she’s sharing her people’s history with a human, and while Samson does appreciate that (and thinks the stories are pretty great), he also appreciates the time she spends telling them. She’s busy, needed in 10 different places by 10 different people at once, and the fact she makes time for him just adds to it all.
