Anders' is the possessive. Anders's is a contraction of "Anders is".

I'm pretty certain of that.

Soo, not really related, but I would just like to leave this here with you guys:



if it were to accidentally somehow end up as an icon for DA2 with a certain apostate mage. Well, it would be an accident!

No, I don't know where you got the impression I'm a massive nerd . . .

Tennant could wear a burlap sack and I'd make a pass at him.

Oh god yes. As long as he uses the Scottish accent. Yum!

Also, happy to oblige people.

For ficcing purposes... I think it's safe to refer to Anders' eye color as hazel, right?

Also, does someone want to educate me really quickly on when it would be Anders' or Anders's? I never could keep that one straight in my head.

I stumbled upon this the other day if it helps any.

Wiki article on Eye Colour

Also, both are acceptable, but most people prefer the single 's'. It drives me batty they've done it the other way around in-game!

Edit: Fixed the link.

Thank you I hate the extra "s" also so I'm glad to hear it!

My husband's eyes are hazel. Seriously Bioware... who drew Anders?! Ex-girlfriend? Please tell me?! j/k
He was upset when Anders hit on him. He said he felt weird. He had to break his own heart.
Damn, I wish I could post his picture, but I don't want a dee-vorce.

I continue to find this incredibly awesome.

I don't think Anders has hazel eyes in-game.  Hazel is a brown/blue or brown/green mix, right?  Anders' eyes seem more like amber-brown or gold-brown.

Regardless, they're sexy.  Mmm.

Anders' eyes are strange, because there are actual brown eyes in the game (Lirene and non-default Bethany's get them). Anders' were definitely hazel in Awakening, but now I'd consider them more amber than brown.

And, please used Anders'. Otherwise I want to pronounce it Anderseses.

Hm. So amber or hazel. *thinks*

I always want to pronounce it that way, too!

[MelfinaofOutlawStar]

Eyes I would say are amber. Don't see a hint of green in his eyes.

I've spent so much time staring into his eyes that you'd think I'd know *G* Amber-brown sounds about right.

So my eyes have just stumbled upon this article on kotaku. This might be old news to some, but as I seldom wander around the forum, am a bit out of the loop.

So, here's the deal: straight people get offended at Anders because he shows interest in their character. Gay people get offended at Anders because Anders show interest in their character. I don't get it. The point is not his sexual orientation - the point is him being interested in Hawke.

He makes passes at men. He makes passes at women. He's a gentleman of wide, refined tastes. I am obvliously no gay man, but in my eyes, not only treating him like "an offensive portrayal of gay men" is completely missing the point, but trying to actively fire David Gaider over it reaches levels of wangst I can barely start to describe.

It's not about his sexual orientation. It's about his character. And this completely misses the point.

Anders, so controversial, always. How can I not love you so?

What is this... I don't even....??

People really need to take an enormous step back and remember it's a f*cking video game. Truly.

Wooow, hold on, WHAT? 

Is this SERIOUS? Are people being serious about this? Oh common, please please don't tell me people are that stupid! Anders is a lovely positive political messege when it comes to love if anything, and also, it is the player's choice wether or not they will enter a romance with him, jeez nobody can just RAPE hawke or anything in the game! Is it because he blows up a church that gay people are saying he is an offensive portrayal? If anything I thought they'd appreciate the tiiiiny political messege hidden in the whole thing about the church descriminating people for retarded reasons. 

And what kind of straight person gets OFFENDED because a character of the same gender shows interest in them?? Oh my head will burst!

Both are technically correct for most names that end in s, although 's is more old school. And annoying for names that don't change pronuniation between their normal and possessive forms. Like Anders.

My Mom has hazel colored eyes and hers are mixture of green/brown. But I am with you on calling them amber colored or golden brown or honey brown or quite possibly copper??? That is kind of a tough one...lol.

And your right, regardless they are sexy.

This is the impression I had. When it comes to eye color, hazel is a mix and it seems to kind of change depending on the light. For example, my husband has hazel eyes; they are brown on the outer edge and green in the middle. So for Anders' eyes, I would describe them as golden brown or amber.

Yeah, the eye color tint they used on him is called amber (there are a couple of shades). Yes, I just checked >.<

[Kawamura]

I think its because he hits on a straight guy? Idk. Anders is Anders. And it's not like us gay folks don't hit on straight people. I mean, how would you know if they were straight or gay or pan/bi/whatevs otherwise?

And, seriously, just be flattered anyone is interested in your Mike Hawke that's probably a preset with muttonchops and ghoul face anyway. Christ.

Yes, my husband was upset - not offended - but for a different reason.

I stood behind him and made fun of him:
Stop hitting on yourself! Stop hitting on yourself!

I am such a terrible person.

Obviously, we should just switch to a case system and stop screwing with me. Silly English.

I think they're mad because of the rivalry points you get if you turn him down. Because apparently it is offensive to show a person getting upset if they're turned down by someone they were romantically interested in. And it's definitely a major hit in terms of rivalry points that can never, ever be recovered since you don't have many chances to get friendship points with him. Trololol.

And Surely, they're probably offended because their Mike Hawke is an attempt to make themselves into a video game character. Probably has their same name, too. So omg a ghei is hitting on video game me halp i'm gonna be a gay irl if it continues.
