Seeing Anders before he's truly radicalized is so fucking weird man. Like we just talked to Wynne (who I thought was going to Tevinter with Shale btw??) and the way he was so against the Libertarians wanting to break away from the chantry was so strange. Meanwhile he still disapproves if I accept the quest to find the blood mages in Amaranthine even though they're apparently dangerous, and he wants to destroy his own phylactery.

And then he starts talking about how unfair the way mages are treated is later on and laughs when Amell agrees because of course he'd agree, they're both mages. He's very silly but he's also really interesting because it's clear he isn't happy with the way things are, but when people try to change them, he backs down. Like he knows mages resisting is just going to make people treat them worse and he doesn't see a future where that resistance succeeds.

And then you meet him in DA2 and he's merged with Justice at that point, who is a spirit and doesn't look at things in that more complex way that a mortal mind does. Justice sees people suffering and wants to help, consequences for Anders and everyone else be damned, and as he becomes an actual part of Anders and things get worse and worse in Kirkwall, the human side of him starts thinking in the same way. Anything for the cause, even his own life, even the lives of others, because for the spirit, the ends justify the means, and the spirit is irrevocably bound to Anders.

I present you with Garrett "obsessed with his boyfriend" Hawke:

But really, this man is so obsessed with Anders he can't spend 5 seconds without mentioning him even tho no one asked

Case in point:

Inq: Hey so apparantely Varric's been talking about me, what was he saying?

Hawke: Oh, you know, the usual.. that you're gonna fix my boyfriend's mess (his Varric impression was hilarious lmao)

Inq: ok.... what were you doing after Kirkwall?

Hawke: so me and my boyfriend -> we thought ... -> ... to hunt for us. -> We helped ...

They're married atp in my mind, like come on

Inq: So where's your family at this trying time?

Hawke: well I had my friend kidnap my brother but that's not the point, MY BOYFRIEND THO, I'm worried about him, I don't ever leave him alone and now I'm anxious

He's been away from him for 5 SECONDS and can't shut up about him and has to mention him every other sentence or he'll explode

Anyone: wha— Hawke: ya know MY BOYFRIEND—

I get it, me too, Hawke, me too....

And then yeah, one actual question about Anders and I bet he's been rehearsing that speech let me tell ya. Defending his boyfriend anytime someone asks about him, it's like an instinct for him after so many years

I'm eating up those DAI Handers crumbs like it's oxygen and I desperately need more
