Nothing in Dragon Age 2 could have ever prepared me for how much of a sweet baby boy Justice is in Awakening. He is so kind, he is so passionate, he is so romantic, he is so thoughtful, he is so curious. I fell in love with him instantly and I want to know everything about him. He has rewired my brain forever💞
Hawke & Justice!
today was the first time i heard justice’s cry when hawke fell and was like ‘hmMM not so indifferent towards Ser Distraction are we Justice’
wait what does justice say!!!!!
“NO! I will not allow it!” <– links to the video so you can hear
The ideal build for an OT3 is A Traumatised Himbo, A Borderline Cryptid and A Straight up Bitch who only likes them.
You know, one of Justice’s most endearing qualities in Awakening is that he runs around wanting to slay monsters without realizing he’s one of the monsters. Or at least, he is to most of the world around him.
Justice is a spirit possessing a corpse. A revenant for all practical purposes, one of the stock monsters in the game. By this point, the player character has already cut a bunch of revenants down with about as much thought to their personhood as you usually give darkspawn. To the Chantry, Justice’s possession of a body is a perversion of the natural order, no matter the fact that he didn’t intend it, and in a lot of people’s eyes it automatically makes him a demon.
But he’s only vaguely aware of this. He goes about, trying to do justice where he can, wanting to rid the world of the monsters his Grey Warden host targeted. The companions complain about his self righteousness and his unfortunate corpsiness but none fear him or imply he’s at all like a demon (except for Anders, interestingly enough).
And then, he meets Aura.
Aura reacts to him like he’s a monster, and it leaves him distressed and in doubt. But in his personal quest, he treats her with compassion. He wants to right whatever wrong he’s done to her, even if all he’s done is exist the way an accident in the Fade has forced him to. He doesn’t respond with violence, or hostility to this woman even though her actions have thrown him off balance–because he’s not a demon, of course he wouldn’t.
It’s an interesting comparison to his reaction to Ella calling him a demon in act 2 of the second game. I guess all those years being surrounded by people acting like he’s a monster made the message finally sink in, huh?
#1 purveyor of divorced headcanons cruelly anti anders/justice divorce
i like divorce narratives not ripping the poor guy in half narratives 😭
okay to be clear. i’m not fundamentally opposed to exploring the concept, i just personally strongly dislike it being presented as idk a solution or a happy ending. idk if this is universally true but in my experience the desire to separate them tends to go along with a kind of “awakening anders was better and justice is the problem/what’s wrong with him/the part of him i don’t like” line of thought. also, as clumsy and cruel an analogy for neurodiversity as the anders/justice plotline is, it’s obviously playing with that idea and i can’t help but be automatically turned off by the optics of being able to idk rip part of him out and thus zap him back to normal. i’m not explaining this well and i’m not getting into all that and there’s other reasons but anyway. in summary. i dislike it and i’m not interested in it
i do characterise anders and justice once bound together as very much sides of the same guy. i’ve talked about this in more detail before but suffice it to say while it’s obviously more complicated than them being one person they’re not two separate people in one body either. i take “he’s gone now. he’s part of me. it’s not like we can... have a conversation. i feel his thoughts as my own. not even the greatest scholar could tell you where i end and he begins” pretty much at face value because who would know more abt what it’s like than literally the guy experiencing it. i don’t think justice is ever even momentarily absent in anders’ dialogue, actions, whatever, you can always hear him imo. even if you could somehow attempt to cut justice out of him, you’re tearing the guy in half when there’s no clear line of separation and hasn’t been for years. i think that outcome would look pretty horrific, to be honest
#anyway i just clocked that he wasnt lying when he told hawke he needed the drakestone and sela petrae to separate from justice#because he thought he was going to die and justice would be free. god. anyway
:(
I think justice would prefer short hair and Anders would prefer long overall if only for the 7 year long argument this causes
new justice theory: he’s only Like That in da2 because anders refused to compromise on the hair and if justice didn’t have loose bits of hair in his face constantly and headaches from wearing it back all the time he’d be fine. five seconds after anders cuts it he’s back to waxing lyrical abt the beauty of the world
How I ended the oppression of mages with the power of persuasively written arguments
By Justice
Chapter 1: The power of persuasively written arguments
Anders insisted we try this first. It did not work. You cannot end the oppression of mages with persuasively written arguments.
Chapter 2: The power of incredible violence.
If Justice has Kristoff's memories then he speaks Orlesian. That means that whether he is aware of this or not, Anders speaks Orlesian. His moment will present itself.
Lol Dat Me fic
Brosca: BESTIE?
Justice:
Brosca: is Anders okay with you doing that?
Justice: He Is Not. I Simply Got Carried Away.
Brosca: oh
Justice: I Of Course Intend To Apologize.
Brosca: of course.
