y'all know the 'and i love you so much i'm gonna let you kill me' line from that one florence + the machine song but i just can't stop thinking about it. like it is the ultimate anders line. the ultimate handers line.

you know, anders's life is (was) about running. he's good at it. he invented new ways to escape for every occasion. he got rid of fereldan templars. he kinda got rid of the wardens. he stayed out of kirkwall templar's sight for years. he could kill people and abandon duties and get away with it because it was what he knew the best.

and then he did something that would shake the world. something that people would demand his head for. before they had demanded it for who he'd been born. and then they got the reason that could not be denied. and he didn't run.

no way that he couldn't. kirkwall was burning and panicking, he could mingle with the crowd and disappear and leave no tracks behind but he didn't. he stayed and he wholeheartedly believed that hawke would kill him.

he was waiting for his coup de grâce. he would rather die by the hand of someone he knew and loved than by the hand of the people he was successfully running from because they hated him and he hated them. more importantly, once he had taken the life of his first love because there had been no hope for him, no salvation.

and he believed there was no hope for him now as well.

(and if hawke doesn't kill him he's so inspired. he's eager to fight because he doesn't want to die. he still has so much to do and now his life is finally completely his, because the first time he doesn't run he's spared. instead of a brand of tranquility or another year of solitary confinement or a knife in the back, he gets to know that there's someone who loves him so much they won't give up on him. they won't become his silent judge and this is the way they save him: not by denying his ideals, not by stopping him from fighting for his cause, but by letting him know there's still hope)

#can all of this happen on a non-romance route? yes and i love that. but i have an odd habit of making everything about handers #on an unrelated note i want to mention that this line of thought happened because i was thinking about my other ship #and they fit this line nicely as well. but it's not that good because there's so much about anders and allowing someone to decide his fate #he was craving freedom all his life! he was fighting against people who were trying to decide for him against his will! #and he was getting away with so much! even all of his suffering in the kinloch would be worse if irving didn't have a soft spot for him! #and then he entrusts his whole life to one person! and he believes they will offer him no mercy! #and all of this because he loves them! because he looks up to them! because they're his one bright light in kirkwall! this is SO SICK #handers #anders #dragon age

Don’t mind me putting my thoughts Out There about Anders and Justice and their change of heart and eventual end.

Anders in Origins vs 2 I do think has weird changes, but I think it’s also important to consider that spirits (and mortals) get fucked up by contact no matter intention.

I still have to replay DAI but there are several instances of spirits being touched by Mortal Feelings and it bends them, complicates them, and distresses them to the point of breakage / transformation (demons)

The poem Spirits and Demons is about a spirit of Love who was brought into the world, and did her duty as a spirit of love - offered and gave love. But with mortal desire, it muddled her singular existence, and she became a demon of desire.

In Beyond the Veil, it mentions again that spirits are simple but not in the way we think. They’re categorized by human standards, and I’m inclined to think they only think of themselves as “Spirit of X” because that’s the feeling imposed on them by mortals. They’re copying mortal views and minds and ideas, and mortals like clean cut categorization.

I don’t recall the exact circumstances but there is a quest in DAI where mages want to summon a spirit of wisdom, but it’s so tainted by the burdens of the mortal world that it becomes a demon and Solas is bitter about having to kill his friend. If I remember correctly.

Justice being a single-minded spirit about Only Justice was able to exist as is even with some of the memories of a possessed corpse because it wasn’t alive to impose much else on him.

Anders was able to continue being more broadly compassionate pre-Justice because he’s a human mortal with the capacity to think beyond single-mindedness. But when he and Justice merged it was no longer Anders And Justice, the longer they were together the more they become Vengeance. And it’s neither of their faults.

My theory being that Anders as a multi-faceted mortal was forced into single-mindedness because of Justice’s single-mindedness, that the plight of mages is The Primary Thing that will always oppress and prejudice against him the most, above all else. There was no longer time or patience for Other Injustices when this was The Injustice he faced.

And of course that Justice was simultaneously forced broader, more complex than a spirit should handle, given sets of emotions and thoughts and feelings outside of his jurisdiction. He’s supposed to be just ONE emotion, thought, or feeling, but Anders’ bitterness and anger and frustration and sorrow and love and happiness and relief built up over and over. Mages slaughtered, children ripped from families, turning to demons for safety as a last resort like cornered animals, a lover turned tranquil. These would be far too tangled for Justice to sift through, so the merging of multi faceted Anders and single minded Justice became the tangled web of Vengeance. In further addition to Justice being out of the Fade for several years, since Origins. That’s a very long time to absorb mortal plight.

Even through DA2, Anders in act 3 party dialogue gets snippy. Short. With everyone. Including Varric! It was so stark from acts 1 and 2 to hear his party banter go from silly Templar jokes and genuine intrigue and casual fun to Anders shutting Varric out with a flat tone. I wish the cut scenes showed it more, but there’s a distinct shift in his personality in act 3 even before the Justice quest.

Cute little chart since I wanted a visual

Justice being on a singular path or mindset, Anders having the complexities of emotion and mortal multifacetedness, and smashing them together forces Justice’s singularity to merge with One of Anders’ chosen injustices, the prominent being the plight of mages. It’s almost an I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream situation. Except it’s also not when Anders’ “scream” was a magic molotov cocktail in the Chantry.

I think it’s similar to Meredith’s corruption. She was already withdrawn prior to the idol, but it wasn’t until after her acquisition of it that we ever see her or that she truly starts to hate mages with such passion. She and the Cleric both rejected the Tranquil Solution, so there must have been an ounce of compassion in her for mages. The Idol conectes yo the fade corrupted her into single mindedness, all bad things stemmed from the blight of mages (versus Anders’ all things stem from the plight of mages). Bartrand and Varric becoming susceptible to the Idol’s calling, Varric insisting the idol was The One Thing that could save Bartrand, almost betraying us for it (and if taken into the Fade in Feynriel’s quest, he betrays you in a similar manner).

Spirits, “good” or “bad,” become warped and bent near mortal feelings and mortals become tunnel visioned. Even if intentions were good, like Justice and Anders or Love/Desire.

There’s a tragedy in it. Anders and Justice being doomed the moment they merged without either of them knowing. If not destroying the Chantry, if not the plight of mages, then it would have been something else. Vengeance would have latched on to Something Else for him to Be About. If not today then tomorrow or the next day or next week or next month or next year. If not mages then Templars or fereldens or elves or carta or children or cats. But Kirkwall’s particular cesspool of extreme anti-mageness with a bitter mage housing a spirit of justice was the unfortunate circumstance that led to the tragic finale. Clenches fist.

        Hawke manages to keep their anger under wraps in the hours it takes the group to trek through the mountains north of Kirkwall. It’s not until they finally pause to rest that it bubbles up, burning the back of their throat and the corners of their eyes. They turn a battered frown to Anders, who seems almost too happy with how things have gone. Perhaps this is his best case scenario. But it’s the worst for the rest of them. 

        Anders reaches out a glowing hand, fingers gently brushing Hawke’s cheek as though he means to heal the bruise that’s formed there over the last few hours. But they knock his hand away before he can complete the task, opposite fist rising to strike him hard in the face, sending him reeling a few feet back. 

       “Hawke!” Aveline gasps, pressing forward in case they need holding back, but Hawke simply brushes her off, glaring back at Anders with blood in their teeth.  

       “You lied to me.” It’s almost a hiss. “You lied to me, and I believed you.” At least, they’d wanted to. More than anything. Even if some part of them suspected.

so early on in my DA2 playthrough I had a very very vague collection of spoilers & headcanons my friends mentioned, but didn’t check anything with the wiki because I didn’t want even more spoilers.

so along the way I was somehow convinced that you can actually hand over Anders to the Meredith & she makes him tranquil. as a warning to other mages & as an experiment due to his possession. i feel physically ill

#i was also terrified i could set this in motion on accident #so i spent the whole playthrough wrapping metaphorical barbed wire around my mage companions so they stay safe #but imagine the fucking horror #death is okay to him. he doesn’t just consider dying #he integrates it into his plans #but tranquility? after karl? after everything? #i cant imagine a worse fate #dont think about tranquil anders. dont do that to yourself #would justice prevent tranquility? i dont know. #da #andersposting

:'( I actually really liked justice's character from awakening and anders's snarky cheeky attitude was funny but now he's just like... angry and depressed and justice is a demon.. I'm so damn sad that this is what ended up happening to them man 😭

#WHY #goddamn is there such thing as an actual happy ending in this series #I was pretty sad at the end of awakening when justice just disappeared but #I DIDN'T KNOW IT CAME TO THIS #I'd rather he disappeared and his fate became unknown instead of him getting corrupted like this #and anders's cheeky self is just like totally gone bruh this is depressing #game ramblings #da2

[storybookhawke]

thinking about anders, who falls in love so easily, who is destined for loneliness and doomed to soul-shattering heartbreak

anders who fell in love with karl thekla, who traveled all of thedas to return to him, even becoming a warden if it meant seeing his lover once more

anders who fell in love with nathaniel, which started as a quick and casual tryst, two men releasing stress together in the horrors that is the blight and darkspawn hordes

anders who fell in love with hawke, who loved him back in a manner so tender yet intense that it felt it could last a hundred years, only for fate to tear hawke away from him without even a goodbye

Your Fading Light

Though many claimed the war had ended, the remaining Templars refused to lay down their weapons and cease their savagery. Instead, they sought vengeance against the ones who incited it all, the rebel apostate Anders and his beloved partner Garrett. Anders escaped with his life, but Garrett paid the ultimate price for his safety, succumbing to a fate more cruel than death: Tranquility. (Rating: Mature)

I had the absolute delight to work with @sweetmage to create fanart for their devastatingly emotional Handers fic. This piece was so much fun to work on, and was a real opportunity for me to play about with composition and symbolism. Progress gif and detail shots under the cut!

I knew exactly what Garrett would look like, and painted him right at the beginning in one session. However, Anders went through every single iteration as I tried to get him to fit in with this Tranquil!Garrett portrait within the card dimensions. I was convinced the staff would be held behind him until just before I started detail rendering lol

Once more, this was a lot of fun ♥ Likes and reblogs super appreciated as always ♥

Stolen Fate

The youth plopped in front of me and hunched down in the previously vacant seat. He was a pretty average, round face with glasses, a grey sweater, earphones and a skateboard.

I glanced out my window to see a group of jocks searching the train terminal for for who I assumed was the youngster across from me. With my raspy voice I told the boy to duck down as a gaggle of bullies started to peak through the windows heading our way. He scrambled down and pressed himself against the outer wall, just underneath the train's window. The athletes seemed to give up the hunt and gathered in the lobby. My old heart sank as I realized the leader of this group of miscreants was my own grandson Lachlan.

In fact, the seat across from me was reserved for him so he could accompany me to the city for some shopping. I sighed. I knew my grandson was a bad egg, he had been caught more then once bullying kids. My daughter and her rich husband always made whatever problems Lachlan had go away. This ride was supposed to set the boy straight, that's why I had spent over the last 6 months enchanting this train ticket.

Now the ticket was reacting to this strange boy. On an impulse I handed the ticket to the boy just before the conductor came to punch it. There was a brief flash of golden light and the youth sat back down into his new seat. I heard a soft thanks as he sighed with relief.

"Now Dear, whom do I have the pleasure of saving today?" I asked in my raspy voice.

"M...M.....M....My name is Davis Kent ma'am" he stammered.

"Nice to meet you Davis. I'm Marlene Anderson, but you can call me Grams, everyone else does."

Davis sat a bit higher, a subtle golden glow surrounded him.

"Thank you Grams, You really saved me from those stupid jocks," he said with a touch of confidence.

"Tell me about yourself Davis"

"Not much to tell, I'm 18 errrr.... ugh... 19 going to college"

"And those other boys?"

"One of them, Lachlan use to be my friend, then he found out I was gay, now he and those football stooges hunt me down for fun" Davis had a startled expression and moved to cover his mouth.

I cackled as only an old woman can, "Hehehehehe, that's quite alright dear. I've been a supporter of your rights for years now."

Davis just stared at me, mouth ajar. "Thank you Mrs. Anders........ Grams"

I nodded in approval, and a sense of excitement. The tunnel was coming up and this particular enchantment works better when no-one can see.

Flash......... Flash...............Flash

The glow settled down and now an older Davis sat across from me.

"Davis, have you had any luck on the job hunt?"

"Not yet Grams, It was nice for Mom and Pete to host me at their house during the summer, got to play with Lachlan a little bit, but he was to busy to hang out with his older Bro."

I was a bit surprised, but the new memories soon filled in. Davis was now my elder grandson and step brother to Lachlan.

"I'm so glad you could ride with me back to the city Grams, It's been like forever sense you and me could spend some time together."

"Were you able to find a place to stay while out on the job hunt?" I asked. Curiously the golden glow still was there changing him slowly as we spoke.

"A few of my college friends went in together on a three thousand square foot loft on the north side of town. They said I could crash there while I find a job."

"Any boys I should know about?" I asked, just to see his face flush.

"N.....n......n.....no Grams I'm kinda in-between guys right now." he said with an embarrassed stammer.

The glow started to intensify as we passed into a deep forest where the sun was barely visible. In the dappled light the changes progressed even further.

"Hey mom, thanks for coming with me to the city, Greg and I need all the help we can packing and what not."

I stared at the new Davis, almost 30 with a loving, long term boyfriend Greg.

Davis was now my youngest, born when Lachlan's Mom was 15.

"Are you excited to be working in such a small town?"

"Mom....ugh..... I know... I know.... Greg and I have discussed this. Working as a corporate drone was draining me, and well he can work from home anywhere with an internet connection. Anyway, I want to put my History and Sports Medicine degrees to good use."

I was just giving the poor boy a hard time. Secretly I was overjoyed that he and Greg would be moving closer to family. Lachlan had been getting into a lot of trouble lately, and having a pair of strong male influences like Davis and Greg could be just what the boy needed. Plus as both the high school football coach and history teacher Davis could keep an eye on her troubled grandson as he tried to graduate a second time.

Davis kept being oblivious to the golden aurora and I was getting nervous. I liked this Davis and I didn't want him to change but as we entered the city the sun was being blocked by the high rises.

"Ma, you ok?" the deep bass voice rumbled as a huge hand shook my knee.

I nodded, as more new memories assaulted my mind. Davis is still my son but now he is twins with Lachlan's mother. He and Greg are still together, only now they have kids.

Oh my God, I have more grandkids to spoil! Five, to be precise: 3 boys and 2 girls!!!!

I felt my knee shake again and I could see the look of concern in my eldest's eye.

"Ma you sure your alright? I can go into town to pick up the boys. You could just rest here at the depot."

Knowledge poured into my head, I could remember why Davis and I came to the city. Lachlan..... only not the original Lachlan..... My oldest grandson had now grown up with his uncles Davis and Greg plus his 5 cousins who saw him as a role model. He was now a bright and kind boy with a sense of responsibility. He had graduated early was now in his second year at state university. He was also JV Quarterback and quickly rising to be an All-Star for nationals.

We pulled into the station and a thick wall momentarily blocked the sun. Davis's final change settled on him. Along with a fantastic husband and great kids, Davis was now the first openly gay Head Coach at a major University. I am so proud of the man he's become.

We get out and stretch our legs, Davis now stands at incredible 6'8" and weighs about 300 lbs. He commands the attention of every passerby. Some even want to take pictures with him and he basks in the attention he receives.

Shaking my head I give an over-exaggerated cough. My big man turns around and blushes, then we make our way through the throng of onlookers to the busy streets.

The city is packed with people as pride is in full swing. Everywhere is color and celebrations of what makes us unique. I was enthralled with the spectacle of it all that I didn't notice we had found Lachlan and his boyfriend Tristian Kent.

       “I really only needed one copy of this, you know.” Hawke holds up the stack of parchment making up Anders’s manifesto. He’d left enough copies of it hanging around their mansion, they eventually got the hint. “It’s not bad. I made a few suggestions, though, if you’re interested.”

Y'know? I suspect less players would side with the Templars if Bioware didn't hold back the true horror of the Right of Annulment when the player chooses to take part in it. Like... the Templars murder everyone in the Circle down to the youngest child. That's how Annulments work. But as far as I'm aware when the Warden or Hawke sides with the Templars in those "Do you want to help murder all these innocents for the crime of existing in this place that the people wanting to murder them locked them into, or do you want to Not Do That" quests you only face adult mages, abominations, and demons. I get that having to murder children would be... a lot to put in even an M-rated game, I'm not going to pretend I can't see why they didn't do it even before the "Actually the Templars are great and the mages need to stop whining about being imprisoned, tortured, raped, and murdered for being born" retcons in DAI, but can you imagine the impact? You wanted to do it, even in the face of your companions telling you not to. Maybe a couple companions even encouraged you to do it, although in DAO at least I don't think many of them do. But you made this choice; when the Templars asked you to help murder everyone in the Circle, you said yes. Now you have to face the fact that when they said everyone they meant everyone, from the oldest Senior Enchanter to the youngest apprentice. Hey, you thought this was the right call! You thought the whole population of the Circle should be put down based on the actions of people barely connected to them if at all! So now put these screaming children to the sword as they beg you to stop because that's what the Templars told you to do. That's what you wanted, right?

Even showing the bodies of the young apprentices of the Circle would've been an excellent gut punch if the player chose to help the Templars; you could explain that as the Templars thinking maybe the people assisting them would change their minds if they had to murder children while still giving the player a glimpse of what an evil thing they're willingly taking part in. Much like how if you choose to abandon Redcliffe to its fate in DAO you then have to fight your way through the wreckage to get to the castle, I feel like the real fallout of the Annulment, which for the first two games is treated as an evil act (even when treating Anders like a monster Meredith moving to kill the population of the Circle using his actions as an excuse is treated like a horrific thing to do), would be so much more effective if the players actually had the full horror of it shoved in their faces as a punishment for choosing to take part.

#dragon age #the right of annulment is pure evil and these games do NOT go far enough in showing us that
