Hawke x Meredith 💚

#I need to go back and to another da2 run #almost forgot how hot these two are <3 #crazy. toxic. hot. healing..?#mage!hawke #meredith stannard #hawkedith #da2

so i finished da2 last night (after the Legacy DLC would not work several times, but I got there in the end). (seriously, i got stuck in the after scene back at hawke's manor like three times and had to fight Corypheus like 5 times. annoying.)

and what i had never really realized on my previous playthrough (which, tbh, was a run through to get to inquisition so I really missed a lot of content previously. or maybe i didnt, and that's my memory being shit for ya) was how trying to find a compromise/not taking a stand until the end was ultimately forced.

yes, i have "if you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?" playing in my head rn.

and while my mage!Hawke had no love for the templars (save Carver), I had him choosing the middle path because of the threat Meredith could be on his life (and my doyalist explanation was I wanted to see what would happen/not make Fenris mad at him).

like nothing would have changed if he had sided with the mages earlier, ofc because it's a video game, but while yes, Hawke eventually did side with them and everything that happened culminated in the mage-templar war, he's still very complicit for not using his influence to help more. ofc he did help individuals, but never the systemic level change that Anders was after. Not that he really could without sacrificing everything, and hawke isn't really the person to do that - Anders is.

so all in all, this (probably barely coherent) post is about how my Hawke really mirrors Elthina, the Grand Cleric, who also tried to keep her neutrality but was more on the side of the Chantry, and thus the templars, than Hawke.

#jess plays da2 #jess plays dragon age #this isn't like a well thought out post or meta or anything #i was just thinking about it and in an effort to do more critical thinking about things #like literally just things rather than just consume and take things as they are #god i wish i had had to take more english classes in college #damn you ap #i was just really thinking about this game so here you are #dragon age #dragon age 2 #da2 #hawke #garrett hawke #mage!hawke

Kickass dwarf-supported acrobatics with mage!Hawke? In my Kirkwall?

It's more likely than Varric makes it out to be.

(actually, it's just that Cassandra wouldn't believe him)

so i'm nearly finished with my first playthrough of da2 (10/10 game) but can someone please explain to me how the everloving FUCK mage!hawke manages to avoid the templars? i get that maybe becoming champion allows them more leeway but before that?? especially in act 2 when they're becoming increasingly more well-known. you're telling me not a single templar cares that there's an apostate mage running around kirkwall, opening using magic?
