The Temple of Hate: Chantry’s Circle
A song dedicated to the Circle Mages and Mage Rebellion.
Xandria’s ‘‘Temple of Hate’’ from the album Sacrificium
Every day I am facing a new way of chasing The dreams I am losing in constant defense The world keeps on turning, the beds are still burning In foolish unconsciousness and self pretense
Take it away, take it away, free me Take it from me, take it from me now! Falling astray, falling astray faster Only to see how...
Deep in the shadows it's hiding for me Down there the demon is rising Coming to carry my soul down with him Down into the temple of hate
All the ways that are leading into hell's open ceiling Are carrying names so familiar to me It's so hard to stay who I am when your knifes Rip my heart out and hit me again and again
Oh, please help me – Oh, let me be
Take it away, take it away, free me Take it from me, take it from me now! Falling astray, falling astray faster
But I will keep it under the surface of my smiling face No-one can see what's behind this mask for the world I am wearing all time so I can survive
Because...Deep in the shadows it's hiding for me Down there the demon is rising Coming to carry my soul down with him Down into the blackness of the temple of hate
Guardian angel: Justice
Dedicated to Anders and Justice.
Tarot’s ‘Guardian Angel’
Guardian angel watch over me Pride leaves you walking alone to the fall of the night Guardian angel help me to see Angel be my guiding light Guardian angel help me to see Angel be my guiding light I know the meaning of shame It makes you feel so broken and torn I've seen it too many times I know the face of scorn I've been on search for truth But it's never been easy to find And it's always been so hard for me To have an open mind Sometimes you want to give away the blood of your heart Loss or gain? How to be sure you don't sacrifice yourself in vain
Is there a place I must find? A vision to make me understand? There must be a way to keep My dreams from drowning into sand Facing the walls of my inner defense Do I believe, do I break or bend? The secrets I've held from myself Are only means to an end
Should I open all the old wounds, risk the peace of my mind? There's nothing else to be learned except the truth Love must be blind... angel

i began to like anders after i found out all that jennifer hepler's bullshit ableist writing. she ruined an amazing character with a great cause. when she was like 'anders is like my Nice Guy ™ abusive bipolar ex boyfriend' i lost my shit. no wonder people hate him by default and you need to dig into his story to actually appreciate what she ruined.
also she allowed to kill him at the end. like girl, go to therapy, don't ruin good character because of your ex.
he IS a good person and giving him such a hard time and terrible or uncomfortable dialogue lines is vile. he did not deserve it.
just because something is 'canon' doesn't mean you need to accept this undoubtedly or cannot criticize inconsistent writing.
People, Cole would 1000% support Anders.
Not for the fact that Cole is a spirit of compassion and Anders is a man who has faced plenty of horrors and is just trying to do right.
No, Cole would support him because he is canonically pro mage and Anti-Circle.
The original Cole, not the Cole that we know, was a young mage, brought to the White Spire and abandoned in the dungeons, where he died of starvation. The Cole we know, the spirit of compassion, took great pity on the original Cole and assumed his identity as a way to give him a chance to live.
He acted as a spirit of mercy to the mages in the White Spire, ending their lives when the beatings from the Templars became too brutal to handle and the only chance at release was death.
He fought beside the mages when the White Spire rebelled. He slaughtered Templars who had been abusive to their charges, even going so far as calling himself a demon as he did so.
His contact on his War Table requests, Rhys, is a mage and his best friend. Evangeline is Rhys’ lover, a former Templar who also fought beside the mages during the rebellion.
Cole is a mage supporter, and would completely understand Anders’ need for action, especially as Meredith had already called for the Rite prior to Anders destroying the Chantry.
me during my first DA2 gameplay: "anders what the fuck??? are you insane?? i could never forgive such betrayal, no wonder i couldn't stand you in my party"

Me the first time I played DA2: Anders is morally ambiguous and I can see how people don't like him. I don't agree with some of his actions but I see where he's coming from and can tell he's struggling. I don't know if that justifies what he did, but I think that's up to interpretation of the player.
Me after nine years of anti bullshit: Anders is a hero, a martyr, and a badass and also fuck all of you.



Honestly I still can’t believe my most popular piece I ever did was this image of Anders. By far the most cosplayed of my designs too!
and the criticalrole one….well that just went mini viral…
You: *foolishly implying that Justice was the sole cause of Anders' worsening mental/emotional state in da2, and that he was totally well before the two bonded*
Anders in Awakening:

the year is 2400 and im still screaming "Anders never do anything wrong" on the internet
