the fight is harder each year.

gotta keep going because nothing ever stops.

you deserve to be new and whole.

Can someone explain what’s happening besides someone being reborn?

In the first comic, which is from the Warrior’s point of view, the Warrior has defeated the Monster, who jeers that there will always be another Monster to fight. The Monster dissolves into mist, leaving another tiny, baby Monster in its place. The Warrior picks up this helpless new baby Monster and carries it away. They will try again and do better this time.

In the second comic, which is from the Monster’s point of view, the Monster says that this has to happen; it can’t come with the Warrior, and there will always be another.  It tells the Warrior to use what they have learned to fight.  It wants to die knowing that the Warrior has hope for the future.  It dissolves into mist, and the exhausted Warrior collapses. The new baby Monster comes and brings the Warrior some water in a leaf.  Because we are reading this in the Monster’s voice, we realize that it is a new Monster, but also somehow, magically, the same.  We also see that the Monster is not inherently evil.  It is only very strong, and inevitable.

The third comic is a dialogue between the Monster and the Warrior.  The Warrior is exhausted and horrifically wounded. The Monster is also horribly maimed.  They are both dying. The Warrior doesn’t want to fight anymore.  The Monster tells them to rest and heal. The Warrior hands over their amulet, and we see the Monster’s paw become a hand just before they both dissolve into mist.  It clears, revealing that the Monster has turned into a beautiful humanoid, who says they will take care of the new baby monster the Warrior has turned into.  The two have changed roles.  The Warrior takes up the former Warrior’s gear and strides into the new year with the new baby Monster riding on their shoulders.

It is a beautiful, ruthless, hopeful metaphor about keeping up the good fight, year after year, even when we are worn down, and how we can still face the new year with hope and light, no matter how painful the last one was, and how it is okay to rest if we can’t fight.

It’s not the new year, but things are so difficult for so many of us right now, and we are so worn down from so many fights on so many fronts, I feel like we could all use this again.  Love, rest, fight, love.

Solas Fun Facts:

millenniumfae:

He once traveled to the Western Approach and nearly died from thirst.

He uses magic to prevent sunburn on his bald head.
He likes Ghilan’nain’s Grove because ‘it’s quiet’. This area of the Exalted Plains (a place of bloody elven history) was named after Ghilan’nain of the Elven Pantheon, and also houses a shrine to Fen’Harel. Something’s up about that place.
He doesn’t know much about life upon the sea because ‘the dreams are never worth the effort’.
He likes forests because ‘it’s peaceful’. He says this in the Emerald Graves, which is full of Great Bears and rebels and high level demons so I dunno what you’re talking about
A Noble once threw a wine glass at him because he was an apostate, leaving Josephine to diplomatically resolve the matter. Apparently, his careful tact helped.
He describes fashionistas as ‘great birds showing their plumage’. Buddy you got that right
This is him coughing.
His diet was spotty and confusing for the Skyhold staff, and he apparently had a very specific recipe for tea. Who wants to bet that he doesn’t need to eat so he just ordered cupcakes and other varieties of sweets and baked goods each time. Either that, or he plain just had weird tastes like raw garlic cloves dipped in ground horseradish with a cup of raw eggs
He has read the entirety of Varric’s Hard In Hightown. This means that a) he visits the Inquisition library and b) saw and read a piece of pop lit cover to cover and c) at least kinda liked it
