there’s a class of anders fan or anders post that tries to love him “despite”, that tries to love him through forgiveness or understanding of his supposed wrongs. let me make it so clear that for me, blowing up the chantry is in fact one of anders best features and so hot of him

Happy Friday and welcome to DADWC! This feels mean but what about ❛ i know i have a heart because i can feel it breaking. ❜ for Justice?

@pinkfadespirit, you said this feels mean but I feel meaner! Have some backstory-compliant whump from the perspective of our favourite maybe-demon...

Anders/Justice (implied), post-Awakening, pre-Dragon Age 2, implied cannibalism, angst/hurt/no comfort

the hardest of hearts

According to Anders, spirits are not meant to concern themselves with mortal matters that slip the boundaries of their nature. A Spirit of Justice is not a Spirit of Wisdom or Desire, though Compassion comes close to their nature - they both see a hurt, and desire amends to be made for it - Compassion through healing, Justice through ensuring such harm is not repeated. Emotion is not supposed to come into their nature - only the clean, bright line that connects what is to what must be. And yet-

what she says: anders deserved better
what she means: anders had to take a hard decision and, while everyone can see it differently depending on personal ethics, his development and moral dilemmas from that point were disregarded because, in the narrative thats being pushed onto us, the ‘angry fighter for freedom’ character has no place. Its not surprising that in the default world state, the mage hawke has not only killed anders but he also violently despises him; and several times we are reminded of how he ‘single-handedly’ started the war. Never mind the inherent abuse in the circles or the straight slave work that its presented in the kirkwall circle; good mages would have never rebelled, good mages seek help from the merciful chantry, good mages stay quiet until… until a /bad mage/ seeks answers through violence. Anders’ life is nothing but the tale of the nice opressed, who smiles and gently corrects; and the mean opressed, who speaks up and ACTS. Once he becomes the Mean Opressed, his narrative ends. Theres nothing else to his character, he is Done, he will not evolve past that. In Dragon Age 2, most characters become, at some point, a monster: fenris and his markings, merrill and blood magic, isabela and her stolen book. Anders’ monster is not being an abomination: is daring to fight with the same violence that was shown to him, to his people. We aren’t shown any more of his development because right after his stand, we can kill him. We can abandon him. We can kill him, again. We end the game. His storyline has no closure; its made so we can comfortably hate him and never get to see his real drives and ethics. And thats why he deserved more.

i think it’s a little unfair to compare spite and justice’s ability to act normal against each other, or to act like spite just being a misbehaving cat diminishes how hard it was for anders justice to cope with possession. spirits in the material world get upset when they can’t fulfil the pure ideal they seek. spite is a creature of spite and gets to kill people trying to hurt it basically all the time. justice is a creature of justice and was living in fucking kirkwall
