End Prophecy II of the Great Prophet Sandal the Crazy Smile.

And damnit, Leggy, I would've been better off not reading that.

Not to interrupt the impressive prophecy thing you guys have going on... I found this in another thread about Anders's sexuality, from Jennifer Hepler.  It was addressing the whole "Is Anders bisexual/he seemed straight in Awakening" argument, but I think it's says a lot about his relationship with Justice:

Jennifer Brandes Hepler wrote...

Anders in Awakening was very up-front about how sexually adventurous the Ferelden Circle was. While he does not specify if he has had past relationships with men, he certainly does not show any degree of sexual hang-up. Since he has chosen to allow a male-seeming friend to actually enter and share his body and soul, I could not personally imagine that he would draw the line at having sex with a man. There is nothing he could possibly do with Hawke or Karl or anyone else that comes close to the intimacy he has with Justice.


Sorry if this has already been posted in here, but I found it pretty interesting.  And the last sentence makes me sad... Hawke will forever be the mistress.  XD


The last sentence makes me sad because I'm alarmed by the discomfort of it.

Rilke has this line in his Letters to a Young Poet where he's talking about a mature love, which is one in which "two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other". What Anders and Justice have is far too close for that. And that makes me... sad. It's unloving. Intimate, but not love.

Yeah.... I don't know if you can draw parallels between allowing a spirit to share your body and a buggering.

I would think any spirit is asexual to begin with. They just chose to give it a male voice. If he had let a "female" spirit in the game would have been something entirely different.

Seems Jennifer needs more tears to feed on ;) You'd think she'd be drowning in them by now.

Tch. Giant girls.

I haven't got any tears. Even when that song breaks like rain and this strained female voice starts talking about a ghost in her lungs and -- *wibble*

I, erm, seem to have something in my eye. My manly, manly eyes.

thank you for posting this leggywillow. The last sentence did not make me sad, just added to my curiosity. It just adds to the depth of complexity of what is Anders now. Made me wish for more interaction with Justice in the friendship romance.

Hawke is the relationship counselor Anders is seeing on the side, then?

I can't really feel that bad for my Hawke. She seems to get over things pretty quickly.

*Chantry explodes"
Oh my gawd Anders!
*10 minutes later*
I'll never leaver your side.

Yeah, she'll get over it.

Good point.  But without love.. do you think they can get to a frienship... I think it was there as Anders proposes it but then was corrupted.  With the chantry done and some resolution of vengeance perhaps there is some bridging possible between the two.

By the way, I thought I recognized your name before when you posted. You did that poker work didn't you? If so that's a riot.

Wait Hawke's second to Justice? Even on the rivalry path? 

D:

Dang it. I could take being underneath the mage cause. But being ranked below Justice too? This sucks!

Poor Hawke. Always the bridesmaid never the bride. :lol:

Maybe. I rather say "no" and be pleasantly surprised then hope for yes. I dunno that anyone in DA ever gets to have nice closure.

But who knows? Wynne still be around. Maybe she'd be able to help.

Intimate does not equal love. Tbh I don't even know if justice is capable of love. He finds it interesting in Awakening and even envies it, but he's the embodiment of one thing... Justice and everything else gets in the way.

I think Anders merging with Justice was an impulsive, ill considered judgement but with well meaning intent. But merging with him is tearing him apart, it's not a healthy relationship as you can see by his deterioration throughout the game. It's not a loving relationship as he has with Hawke it is a relationship to achieve a goal... that of Justice (or vengeance). Anders knows Justice a few months then invites him to "move in" His relationship with Hawke is much more considered and he fights it for 3 years before giving in.

While Hawke can never have the intimacy Anders shares with Justice, he/she can have a reciprocal loving relationship and Anders never indicates that it amounts to cheating on Justice as he sees them as one and the same person rather than lovers.

Ha, that's pretty much how my LadyHawke handled it, although I was not particularly happy with it. Maybe she just decided now was not the time for an argument about seriously Anders what the hell.

Really that annoyed me so much that I'm actually writing a fanfic. It's the first writing I've done in years without it being assigned to me. Really Bioware...I hate you so much for making a hero with old-timers.
