Everyone always complains about how horrible it is that Anora is splashed with Loghain’s blood when he’s executed. But turn off persistant gore, and the blood slides right off Teflon!Anora. Yes, it does.
The thought amuses me more than it should. XD

So, Here’s The Thing
If you’re being excluded by a bunch of people because you said something racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic, homophobic, fatphobic, or any number of things that hurt/offend marginalized people, it’s not because they’re “too uptight” or “don’t have a sense of humor.”
It’s because you’re being a raging doucherocket, and they don’t need to invite that kind of nastiness into their everyday life; especially if it’s something they or loved ones deal with every fucking day, and don’t want to hear it from you, too. It’s because they may need one space where that shit doesn’t get thrown in their face, because the moment they step outdoors they have that disgusting, dehumanizing attitude coming at them from every angle.
And it’s not something you can just shut out. It’s not something that you can ignore. When it’s so pervasive, it permeates every aspect of your life.
But you can minimize your exposure to it, by cutting out people you know are going to be repeat offenders.
And if that’s “too PC” for you, if that’s not something you can handle, if you feel excluded and ignored and marginalized because you’re not allowed to express something that actually hurts someone else and they’ve made the decision not to have that as part of their life,pleasedon’t go whining about how those meanie marginalized-peoples won’t let you into their “club”, and how that makes youjust as oppressedas they are.
It’s not the same damn thing.
Anders: Friendship vs Rivalry (and Personal Responsibility)
impressioniste:
People often ask, ‘which is better, friendship or rivalry’? It’s a pretty common question. It’s also something that’s very difficult to address, ultimately. But I’m going to try.
Short answer: His writer says that it’s up to the player to decide.
Now, the really long answer:
Under a cut for personal opinions and length. This is approximately 8,000 words, just so people know what they’re getting themselves into if they try to sit and read it. Sorry this took so long, it was supposed to go up this morning, but it kind of… ran away with me.

This is an absolutely beautiful dissection of exactly why the rivalry path bothers me so much with Anders, especially romanced. I hate the belief that he only chooses to “change for the better” when you’re constantly tearing him down as Hawke, questioning his choices and undermining the very cause that defines his existence. He even says as much- he loves Hawke, that Hawke is the most important thing in his life, but his cause is more important than his life.
You can support someone even when you disagree with their actions. I firmly believe that Anders would listen to someone who acknowledged his feelings far sooner than someone constantly criticizing him. But if anyone treated me the way Hawke treats Anders in the Rivalry path, I would have cut ties with them ages ago.
There would be no, “I hate you but still want to fuck you!” There would be no, “I don’t know whether to kiss or kill you!” Because that’s not a healthy relationship. I actually really don’t like the way the writers handled the rivalry path for Anders, because it paints him as completely psychotic. So if you happen to agree with him or his worldview, even on a friendship path, there’s still that part of him that would be present on the rivalry path there.
One of my favorite ways of handling the Justice quest is to support him, but when he talks about the Chantry, start questioning him. There, Hawke brings out the line about “I DO love you, but loving someone doesn’t always mean agreeing with them!” I think that’s so important as to why I prefer the friendship path; you still care about him, but show that it’s not blind and that Anders isn’t above criticism in a Friendship-path Hawke’s eyes.
I would’ve liked to see a rivalry path that would have made sense for Anders to still be infatuated with Hawke, to respect Hawke while still disagreeing with them. Something that doesn’t make the bedroom scene look like a farce- going from “I would wring your NECK!!” to “I love you so much, I’m scared to lose you!”
So, definitely agreeing with impressioniste on this one. It’s a long read, but analyzes things beautifully.
