Just… dont ask @____@
“How many more of us will the Chantry break in the name of a duty most knights no longer believe in?”
@muslimelf asked: favorite dragon age antagonist – Samson
I made them believe their pain had purpose. Just like the Chantry does. Right, Commander?
Maxwell cuts in just as quick and sharp. Speaking on a topic he’s never spoken about before. ❝ Know better than most. You aren’t the only whose suffered withdrawal. I’m only standing here because someone saw a templar desperate on the cusp and used that. ❞ He looks at the red lyrium that Samson wore. Rage boils in his blood, how he wants to smash it. ❝ How is this greater? Lyrium’s bad enough, but red lyrium’s worse. You traded the Chantry and lyrium to them, for you and red lyrium. ❞
❝ Save your sentiment and your pity. I found a way that will save them for a while longer. To do what was necessary in service. You may dislike it, but do know the Chantry would do the same. Force feeding us Lyrium and when we get too old? They kick us out on the streets. ❞ He scoffed. ❝ At least on red lyrium we know what will happen. We expect it and we don’t lose our minds. ❞ They did, but was he going to admit that? No. Least of all to Maxwell.
“And what is this that may be better? What is it so worth that you want to put all your Red Templars through even more suffering? Because the way I see it, you have put them on a path that’s unknown and far worse than what used to be and what is being rebuilt. You have damned your Templars to a lifetime of suffering and Maker knows what else! You have no idea the long term effects of red lyrium on the human mind and we’ve seen it only just this past couple years.”
“All Templars die,” he states sharply. “They live and they die in service to the Chantry. What I am doing is giving them true service. To fight at their prime. To be better than they could be otherwise. You may not like it. You might even hate it, but it matters not. What’s done is done. There is no going back. Not now. Not for any of us.”

“ you’re just too afraid to speak up to a blood mage , rutherford ! i’ve known , i’ve known for sometime about your precious inquisitor . ” about what he planned and how he took control of his own men . there were many things that samson could have said about nick , but none of them were anything remotely good . in truth ? they were all extremely bad - horrible even if one was being honest with one’s self .
“ he stole my templars . he gave them false promises and for what ? some half baked plan to save them ? we both know what’s done is done . you stand with him when he’s the very thing that you hate the most . face it , he fed the the same lies the chantry has - at least i was leading them to glory and their graves . ”
maybe samson was too harsh or perhaps not harsh enough . he wasn’t sure and at this point ? he didn’t even want to know how far he could push things if he so chose to do so .
“ these templars were never his to begin with . they were just blinded by promises an’ hope . with the red’s gone , ” samson said sharply . “ the elder one will make swift work of him and you . ”

I hope you didn’t thought that I’m ready with my Samson Spam. Because I am not.
Hey, Samson, you gonna wake up one day?? Hello???

Inspired by this post.
lone-blade:
—CARVER WAIVERS SLIGHTLY; something tells him, deep in his belly, not to trust the words of this man but at the same time. At the same time he knows Samson is—right. “What goal is that?”
NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED SAMSON. Even now, there was part of him that lusted for blood; to ensure that the will be done. Who’s? It didn’t matter, but for the moment it was mostly his own. “To serve. To come out on top. To deal with our addictions on our own - No matter the price. No matter the cost to those around us.”
Usually she trusted her Knight-Captain’s judgement since he was observant and had a deep understanding of her principles and views. She would not say that she trusted him blindly but she was more inclined to follow his ideas than most other templars at the Gallows. However, this time she was uncertain whether or not she could accept it without thinking hard about the consequences. The Knight-Commander stood in front of Samson with arms crossed over her chest plate and staring at him with narrowed eyes. “I released you from your duty,” she said; her voice as cold and sharp as ice.
And yet here he was again. “Name one good reason to let you join the order once more. Cullen is convinced you have earned your rank and the Champion is on his side regarding this matter as well. But I can’t simply take you back and act as if you haven’t betrayed the chantry.” And her command, first of all. She had to trust her knights to fulfil their duty and not bend rules behind her back.
Throwing him out of the Gallows had been a hard punishment back then, Meredith knew this, but she had to make an example of him to prevent the younger templars from heading into dangerous situations. It started with small favours as delivering letters to gain their trust and from there… everything went downhill.
starter call. | @redtemplarcommander
“Everyone has betrayed the chantry one way or another. Everyone has spat on the name of Andraste and the Maker then went back and prayed the day after for perpetual forgiveness.”
Where exactly was Samson going with this? Really, he didn’t even know, and at this rate?
He... actually didn’t care either. One could say he was grasping at straws, but was that the truth? Quite possibly... yes. It was - he just didn’t and no doubt wouldn’t see it that way. Not now and most certainly not anytime soon. He was quite certain of that in all reality.
“I’m here to serve. To make up for my mistakes. Put me standing in the Gallows for days on end or what have you. If you want conformation of my loyalty - my will to be back - ask Cullen or the Champion. I’m sure they’ll tell you the same thing.” Most likely, but even Samson wasn’t exactly sure what they would say or if they would just make more trouble for the Templar over-all.

Coloured sketch of Sammy Samerson, thanks @vixilancia for requesting Samson, I was not expecting to have as much fun doing this?! But I loved roughing him up and doing those red troubled eyes :)
