Anders Positive - Tumblr Posts
warrior fem!hawke x anders is such a compelling ship to me i know we love mage!hawke x anders but the idea of hawke being fiercely dedicated to mage freedom without being a mage absolutely rips me to shreds.
in every single oppressed mage she sees her little sister, she sees her father, she sees anders. all of the mages she loves. she's never been afraid of mages, and always ALWAYS was so damn angry that she could never make a difference when she saw the fear of being discovered in the eyes of her family.
i think she might support anders and mage freedom even more than some mage hawkes would, because her dedication to the cause is so selfless and there is no internalized self doubt or hatred of being a mage to contend with (which i think hawke as a mage might deal with). i think anders would love her even more for that dedication.
this hawke is usually purple in her dialogue but when it comes to mage's rights she is red and she would have helped anders if he told her his plan. kirkwall is literally an authoritarian police state after all, and the chantry is a huge symbol of that power.
in the end she runs away with anders, and it takes time to build up their trust again. not because she didn't agree with him, but because he wouldn't let her help. maybe this makes justice fall for her too. i like to imagine they all get their happy ending.
the year is 2400 and im still screaming "Anders never do anything wrong" on the internet
OH MY GOD ANDERS MY BELOVED MY MEOW MEOW KING OF MY HEART MY SUN AND MOON HIIIIII MY LOVE YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG EVER!
I do just…like I am just obsessed with the fact that Anders was the perfect person to foil Meredith and she had no goddamn reason to even factor him into her schemes because he is the YA protagonist of the dragon age universe. Experienced apostate, battle hardened Grey Warden, super powered spirit healer bonded with the literal embodiment of Justice. The Magical Girl of it all. Like do you ever think in the 10 years Anders was getting people out of the Gallows under Meredith’s goddamn nose like the experienced tactician and commander of troops that he is, she was like: this can’t just be one person. There cannot be one person in Kirkwall that I don’t know about who’s doing this. They’d need the experience of a military commander and more direct access to magic and the fade than my first enchanter, not to mention physically super powered strength, speed and reflexes. That’s not possible. Like no wonder Hawke becomes such a target they’re the only person in the goddamn city cartoonishly competent enough to fit the bill and meanwhile, behind them, Anders is sticking his tongue out at Meredith in the medieval fantasy equivalent of a badly picked outfit from Goodwill pretending his very obvious magical staff is a walking stick. I just, I love him, you know?
