harrowingwhispers:

Anders.

Hey do you remember when I only used to care about myself?

That thrum

Or when I let emotions with no thought or anything else?

of Lyrium

Or how I used to think I was alone.

it buzzes in my brain—

And now? My thoughts aren’t even my own.

I think this mortal world is driving me insane.

 

Hey o you remember when I could sit and sing and smile, just like them?

You don’t understand.

Or when you helped me find and kill me “peaceful friend?”

Any of my plans.

Allowed to walk in my shoes—

How could you know

A shroud.

the pain inside

 A ghost

this world

that’s holding my noose.

Alone?

 

I’m fight –fight-fighting who I am. These blue lights take me over and over and over again.

 

           I still remember our first kiss you know.
I will never approve of this obsession though.

           Your support means the world to me.

If you cared about his health or happiness, you’d let him be.

            What was I saying? I seem to be losing my train of thought….

It would be better if you left, and forgot about him.

            My heart would break if I forgot.

You’re ruining my reasoning for—

 

If I lost you, I would lose every piece of myself that I have left that belongs to me and no one else.

— Everything I’m doing, can’t you see it’s a battle of death and health? This cause needs a champion, I can’t stop for you or anyone else.

 

I’m losing control of myself (my cause).

What’s the death toll of this plan (of this pause)?

Please take me back to who I was—I was at peace (was pure).

You’re the key to my freedom—you’re the cure (death of me).

 

Are these my emotions? (Or are they mine?)

I’m just a monster (just a monster).

Give it time.

SO SEBBY DARLING HOW DO THOSE WORDS TASTE IN RETROSPECT?

SEBASTIAN: If you act with a true heart and a noble cause, then it doesn’t matter what it takes to succeed.

Do they taste like delicious irony?

And by a ‘noble cause’ Sebastian obviously means ‘my cause’.

Excerpt from Fifty Shades of Howe 
First in the Whos, the Whys and the Whats Series
By Isabela
BASED ON A TRUE STORY OF LOVE, LUST AND LUXURIOUS LOCKS IN THE DEEP ROADS 

He stands before me, his nose larger than ever. Nathaniel Howe, laced up in tight leathers, with his lean, magnificent, polished bow in one hand. My inner Justice doesn’t approve of the way he makes me feel while my subconscious tells him to suck on a fireball. 

Oh, but I want Howe to suck on my fireballs. Maker, he sets them aflame! 

‘Anders,’ he says. I bite my lip. I know I’m bound to say something stupid, or start babbling about cats again. He sounds so much sexier than he ever did. Has he been eating rocks down here in the Deep Roads? It’s like cobblestones and bowstring calluses, like liquid sex. 

‘The Deep Roads just got deeper,’ I say. 

Maker, I’m such a fool! I could have just mentioned the plight of the mages and been more of a flirt! I blush, while a hidden breeze blows Nathaniel’s silky hair around his face. If anything I just have to know how he keeps it so shiny.

‘You look like you’ve lost weight, Anders,’ Nathaniel adds. ‘What have you eaten today?’

‘Oh…’ I bite my lower lip. ‘Just a sandwich.’ 

My inner Justice tells me I’m wasting important time we could be collecting sela petrae and threatens to take over. But Maker, howe he affects me…down there. 

In my deep roads. 

I solemnly swear that this is the last fic I shall ruin.

MORE PRAISE for FIFTY SHADES OF HOWE

‘You wanna know who taught Ser Fifty Shades all his moves? This wild stallion right here, that’s who. So, wanna take a ride on a real bucking bronto tonight?’ — Oghren

‘This book’s a paragon of its kind, all right. Only sodding trouble being I can’t figure out what its kind even is.’ — Oghren

‘What you’re smelling is exactly what you think you’re smelling. Same goes for Fifty Shades, too.’ — Oghren

‘Oh yeah? Well my inner golem’s doing the Remigold right now!’ — Oghren

‘Heh.’ — Oghren

‘Everything you hear about warden stamina—it’s alllllll true.’ — Oghren

‘Pretty sure I know what the electricity trick is. Singed more than just my braids, too. Those short and curlies never did grow back the way they used to look. Heh, they’re just shorter’n curlier now!’ — Oghren

‘Not enough dwarven pounding in this book, if you know what I mean.’ — Oghren

‘I’m talking about nug-humping deep-roadsing anvil-smashing hammer-swinging dingle-singing good times.’ — Oghren

‘Burp.’ — Oghren

‘Who are you again?’ — Oghren

Never stop.

“Sorry, I’ll pass.” - Anders

How can you pass on my delicious sandwiches, Anders. D:

I kid, I think they may have planned to make the companions equipable at one point. (Or I could be wrong. But before I found this one, I found a clip of Varric saying he wouldn’t give up Bianca. If anyone wants I can upload that one too.)

Anders is passing on a threesome. Dammit Anders get between Hawke and Fenris.

fyeahanders:

“Another twenty steps, another batch of deaths.” - Anders

My thoughts exactly. /ItwasworseincertainFinalFantasygamesthough

I like how it rhymes.

fyeahanders:

“For freedom!” - Anders

This is what I’ve been looking for. Sadly it is too late for freedom jokes. Maybe next time. No, I did not post this before only to accidentally delete it. I am doing a terrible job.

So for freedom. /Betterlatethanneverright?

fyeahanders:

“Need a hand? I’ve got the touch.” - Anders

Still not the one I was looking for but I couldn’t just ignore it either. I am sure some of you know why.

Oh the places my mind is going.

fyeahanders:

“I am not omnipotent you know.” - Anders

And before I found this, I found audio of Carver calling Fenris Hawke’s pet elf? I am a bit hard of hearing so I am not sure.

Probably not, would have been nice if you were. /Wyvernbattlewasirritating

All right, so I saw someone was looking for the ‘Ser Willem, Ser Willem’ thing, which I also love, so I decided to root around the game files for it. And here it is!

“Do you hear me Ser Willem, Ser Willem?”
“I am falling Ser Willem, Ser Willem today!”
“I’m a maiden Ser Willem, Ser Willem?”
“But I’m dying Ser Willem, Ser Willem. In paaaain.”

Not going to lie, this part freaked the shit out of me when I first played.  I was like “GUYS I WASN’T AWAY FOR THAT LONG IN-GAME HOW THE FUCK DID ALL THIS CREEPY SHIT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS GONE WHAT THE SHIT AHHHHHHH”.

I would like to know who this Ser Willem is.

*********

Bah.  DON’T MAKE ME PULL OUT THE AUDIO CLIPS AGAIN.  But seriously, all OP really needs to do is to play through Awakenings with a mean!Warden.  Tell Anders that mages deserve to be locked up and surprise!  You’ll find DA2 Anders right there.  You just don’t see that side of him if you agree with everything he says.

/sigh

Anders has always been bitter and angry.

Here’s the audio files, AGAIN.

http://katiebour.tumblr.com/post/18565894055/then-the-templars-showed-up-one-day-and-dragged

Anders was betrayed by his faith- he went from being a “good little Andrastian” one day to a “sin in the eyes of the Maker” the next.  He was betrayed by his father, a man who gladly threw him away once his mage powers were discovered.  He was old enough to remember what freedom and a life outside the Tower was like, and when he ran away, simply wanting to be free, they dragged him back again, and again, and again.  He was put into solitary confinement for a year.

Read this:

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/03/30/090330fa_fact_gawande

THIS is what they did to him.  This is what he was dealing with in Awakenings, what he was hiding behind that snarky exterior.

And then there’s these:

http://katiebour.tumblr.com/post/18566283484/thats-a-lot-of-rock-over-our-heads-deep

http://katiebour.tumblr.com/post/18566148398/laughs-nervously-how-common-are-cave-ins-down

Could Anders’ claustrophobia possibly have anything to do with the year he spent locked in the Tower’s dungeons?  I can’t find my Mage Origins photosets or I’d add some of the photos of Kinloch’s dungeons.  But suffice it to say they are NOT pretty.

The side Anders showed you in Awakenings wasn’t all or even most of who he really was.  It was just the side he chose to display.  Dig a little deeper, play a mean!Warden, read his short story, and you begin to see the truth.

And I will casually reblog this.

Also casually reblogging….
