Something we need to discuss!

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!
