My first attempt at a tarot card Justice.
A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments, Roland Barthes
i’ve seen a lot of headcanons and meta about former circle mages being mad at anders and a hawke that supports him, but what about the ones that are grateful?
mages who burn i stand with anders into the walls of every village they pass and abandoned building they hide in
mages who are 40, 50, 60, that are used to templar control, wholeheartedly embracing the rebellion
mages from the kirkwall circle talking about hawke and anders, telling others about their bravery, their determination, their conviction
mages who weave black feathers into their hair, mages that mark their face with red paint
mages who unsettle anders when he sees the awe and gratitude in their eyes
The novel Asunder deals with some of that divide. Anders’ actions are discussed pretty heavily as a means to show how mages, be them sympathizers of his or not, are living because of his decision to rebel. You see some mages who think Kirkwall was the result of a madman rebelling against the status quo. You see some mages who see him as being the second coming of Andraste, if you will, who played the martyr so they could even have a chance at walking free. You also see some mages who respect his desire to bring about change, but don’t agree with his methods.
It’s a shame that all you get from Varric in Inquisition is that Anders was driven out of Redcliffe because they feared him, permitting he survives II. And Hawke only mirrors the sentiment that Anders views himself as both the hero and the villain of his story if they’re in a relationship. There are bound to be mages and mage sympathizers out there who, upon recognizing him, would offer him and his traveling companions a safe place to rest their heads for the night. People who would suffer torture to conceal his location (other than Varric). People naming their children after him because no matter what Anders feels about himself, he was a hero and his actions were for the greater good.
And, if it’s any consolation, his actions and beliefs helped Cullen to join Team Mage. His dialogue about mage rights in Inquisition mirrors Anders’ belief set pretty closely.
The Hanged Man - Redemption through sacrifice. Enforced sacrifice. Suffering. Suspension, restriction, letting go. Martyrdom, indecision, delay. Punishment. Loss. Defeat. Failure. Death.
Other interpretations of this are “having your world turned upside” “seeing a situation from the opposing perspective”, btw

I love the idea of Varric having changed and modified the story of DA2 to protect his friends. Like, downplaying just how powerful and intelligent a mage Merrill was, in an attempt to make her less of a target. Consistent, inaccuract descriptions of their appearances. Interpersonal rivalries with Anders played up, while friendships were downplayed, to create distance between Anders and the group (not because he doesn’t love Anders, because he does, but being associated with Anders puts a very large target on your back nowadays). Larges parts of Hawkes relationship were skipped over, to protect his friends privacy.
Honestly, I like to imagine that the writing process was a collaborative one! The whole group sitting down for drinks, and discussing what should be included, and what should be left just between them. Anders was the one who suggests distancing the fictional version of him, and making the plans for the chantry his secret in the book, to have his friends not have been aware and helping him.
And it mythologizes Hawke. All of the seemingly impossible wins and constant enormous luck in the book was a result of Varric leaving out the constant planning and researching and preparation Hawke & company did. The reality of the group was that they started out a little ragtag, but by the beginning of Act II, they’re a powerful, organized, well informed group among Kirkwalls power structure.
Idk, I really enjoy exploring the idea of what Varric chose to leave out of the story, and what he chose to amplify.
