I love Anders a normal amount. Replayed the game with aggressive/direct mage Hawke, I can`t fucking believe I was playing the game wrong for all this time...Like do people actually know that u can promise Anders to kill all the templars even before the romance starts??? Or drop a hint that u know what he`s doing in act 3...Red Hawke is wild and I`m in love with him. Best romance 10/10 would recommend
A little bit of happy fugitives. Isaac Hawke and the love of his life, Anders <3
I made the second part! It was a very hard day for Varric. He did not expect to see Thedas most wanted apostate who used to be his friend again, especially at Skyhold. And he did not expect to learn that his another friend had a kid with the said apostate. He had no idea Hawke was trans either.
Btw kid`s name is Leandra <3 she probably should look younger but I`m bad at drawing kids, sry
There is no way Hawke would leave Anders alone. If Hawke is stupid enough to show up at Skyhold while being Thedas most wanted apostate #2, he is also stupid enough to pull something like this.
The most fun part happened when inquisitor met warden Loghain and actual Carver.
Chantry explosion was the sexiest moment in this entire series. Too tired to pretend that is wasn`t. I made it even better with bisexual lighting!
The ultimate siblings: Isaac and Carver Hawke, young Leandra and Gamlen Amell. Honestly Leandra is such an underappreciated character. In my silly little headcanon she was a bard. She killed a templar with a kitchen knife once. My red Hawke inherited his aggresive/direct personality from her, not from Malcolm who was a very chill dude actually. Leandra taught her oldest son to murder knife people and Hawke later named his daughter after her <3
Get yourself a man who will stare at you like this while you talk about mage rights.
Why is it always Anders who`s madly in love with Hawke? My Hawke is madly in love with Anders and acts stupid because of it.
Words cannot express how much it means to me that both Anders and Hawke survive the events of da2 and dai. Anders is so depressed and hopeless in act 3, he feels like he's living on borrowed time and he has no choice but become a martyr in order to save the mages from genocide. He expects his own lover to kill him and when Hawke refuses to do so, Anders is genuinely surprised. Some people call him suicidal at this point but no, there's a huge difference. He doesn't want to die, he wants to live in a world where mages are free. And unfortunately, he also believes that this world can be created only if he dies. Later, in the Gallows, Anders sounds so...Inspired? Hawke had shown him that there is a choice, that he doesn't have to die. He doesn't have to sacrifice anything, including relationships with Hawke. And his fight for mages rights is not hopeless at all. I don't believe someone's story is good and worth telling only if the hero dies in the end. To me, the story is good only if Anders survives too see the world his actions created. He deserves to know divine Victoria disbanded the Circles of magi. He deserves to see mages not being afraid that the Chantry will tear their families apart. He deserves to see young mages who have never ever heard that their magic is a curse. In my hc, after they aid the mage rebellion, Hawke and Anders find a remote village in Ferelden to hide and just...Enjoy their life there. They have a kid together. Hawke works on a farm, like he used to before Kirkwall, and the locals appreciate having a spirit healer around a lot. No more templars, no more responsibility for an entire city. Hawke doesn't even go to Adamant. Because guess what? Anders does NOT deserve to see his another lover being taken from him because the Chantry said so. Honestly fuck Varric for that, my Hawke wouldn't even answer his letters after this. Corypheus is not his problem, it's grey warden and inquisition problem. Hawke is no longer the hero who saves the day. He's just a random ferelden man who loves his husband and daughter, okay?
So here's a picture of Anders and Isaac Hawke after they killed Meredith. The sun is rising, I like it way more than in game scene with dark lighting. Because it's not the end, but the beginning.
Tarot card for Isaac Hawke - the hanged man. Meaning: sacrifice, sometimes meaningless, sometimes for a higher cause, martyrdom, uncertainty and lack of direction, victim of curcumstances, altruism and self-denial, spiritual growth. Playing a mage in da2 kinda feels like a feast in time of plague, so I went with this vibe. Isaac is smiling because he`s willing to sacrifice himself in the name of mage freedom, but also, what other choice is there but to smile? Life does not end even when you feel it does. As long as you can feel something, you aren`t dead. And Isaac is not yet a dead man.
/Yeah, that`s Anders/Justice hand on his chest/
My handers kid Leandra "Lea" Hawke with her parents. Idk why but Anders has girl dad energy. These two are the only ones who have a kid in my headcanon. I mean, thats what the mage rights fight is about? About living a normal boring life without the government tearing your family apart and making you a slave just bc youre a mage. Enjoying simple things others take for granted. Being a person and not a living weapon. Lea`s parents did not want her to feel like she HAS to learn magic and use it every day for others sake. For her, magic is a source of joy. She can use it to warm up a bowl of soup. Cheer a friend up with a silly spell. Heal a wild bird`s broken wing. But forcing a little girl to throw fireballs preparing her to kill people? Isaac would never do to her what his father Malcolm did to him.

She has a twitter (_bonniepferd_) and vk go check her art out it`s very cool I promise! <3
I always wondered why a lot of people depict Anders so young and idk, too pretty? He is something like ~36 years old in the end of da2. Give the dude some wrincles and grey hair, damn it. I really dont like the mods that change da2 Anders into awakening Anders. His appearance is a part of the story too. It has meaning! Da2 Anders is no longer concerned with his looks, there are more important tasks at hand. He thinks there is no time for vanity while the mages suffer. He also lives in a sewer. Probably didn't even wash his hair that often as there is no running water in the said sewer. Justice probably doesn't understand the concept of sleeping. And even if he does, it's not fun to be a grey warden. Also no person is going to look perfect when they overwork themselves providing free medical care for refugees, writing manifestos and saving mages from the Gallows. I think he is supposed to look at least kinda bad? With messy hair, dark circles under his eyes and several days stubble he didn`t have time nor energy to take care of. I am sure his socks have at least one hole.
Anders' story and the mages plight theme in general will always be very personal for me, bc how well it works as a transgender allegory. If you're born different, no matter what you do, you're fucked. Society will make sure to make your life as hard as possible. Neither circle mages nor apostates are happy. Neither closeted trans people nor openly trans people are happy. You have to choose between "safety" and "freedom" but in the end you receive none. Damn, even the word "abomination" is being used against both groups. There are people among both communities who think compliance to conservative society demands is a better choice than fighting it. And people who understand that compliance will lead to only one outcome - extermination. The government taking your children away may be fictional for mages, but it is very real for trans people. Both transgenders and mages are considered a disgrace to their families, a curse, a dirty secret. Both get disowned. Or sometimes something much worse happens. Parents try to "cure" their children from both magic and transness. And for all the reasons listed above and more than that, da2 will always be my favorite game. Because in the end of the game, there is hope. Mages are united more than ever, and at least for a time, they are free. The perspective of a better future for both mages existing and those who aren't even born yet is finally real. Almost no one believed Anders will succeed. And Anders himself didn't believe he would live long enough to see the results of his actions. And yet, he is alive in the end. And what is even more important, not alone.
Yes I am writing all of that under a NSFW picture and what of it??? Last month has been rough. My country is worse than fucking dystopian Kirkwall.
Maker's favourite transsexual by the time of DATV, chilling on a farm in Ferelden with Thedas' most wanted apostate #1. If Varric is pathetic enough in Veilguard, perhaps Isaac will stop throwing his letters into the fireplace without reading. Who knows.
