Gravity Is Matter’s Response To Loneliness

This is probably just me with my pro-Anders goggles (and my "Orsino needed more depth" goggles) on but, after the initial shock wears off, I'd love for Orsino to recognize that Anders has done the one thing he was afraid to do. He crossed a line that Orsino was often toeing but never had the strength to step over himself.
There was no compromise and he knew it, but he was still too subconsciously bound to the Circle's teachings (its their job to break their mages after all, even Anders suffers this when not overridden by Justice), to bound to the idea of being an exemplary mage and a palatable leader to look that idea in the face and accept it. He had desperate measures in his back pocket that he could never get himself to pull out until the biggest step away already taken by someone else.
"Okay, we tried everything but then Anders fucked it up, time to bring out ✨The Harvester✨" ending they gave us. Orsino was radicalized by seeing his friends and peers driven to suicide through oppression and unlivable conditions. He saw the worst that the templars and Chantry could do, he saw the oppression and looming hammer about to come down on them.
For all the pain and loss he suffered and the good he tried to do, some part of him had to know they'd already reached the point of no return and protest and talking were no longer an option.
This (and the fact that Orsino being a boss fight was an EA decision, not an intentional writer choice) is all the more reason why I simply headcanon that he survived and Varric covered for him with a damning ans conclusive end that distanced him from the uprising and Anders's views/actions enough to allow his escape.
I'd like to think he's still out there fighting the good fight and aiding mages during the war and aftermath.

For the problematic meme: carie!
TBH I'm not sure I understand the definition of problematic, but here goes 😅
Shamed Jowan for blood magic then became a blood mage at the first opportunity.
Supports heretical ideas like "Andraste was a mage," "Spirits are people too," and "You can heal with entropy magic."
Actively harbored Kirkwall fugitives without invoking conscription, flouting both Chantry law and Warden rules.
Fireball first, ask questions later.
The only good darkspawn is a dead darkspawn.
Talks like a politician, actually bad at politics.
Turned down the Red Jennies' help against the nobles' conspiracy in Amaranthine.
Totally didn't just spare Loghain to spite Alistair for marrying Anora.
Definitely did not hook up with Riordan for the same reason (mostly).

reblog if you enjoy napping, being cozy, being conked out, snoozing, wrapping up in blankets, sipping a hot drink, catching some z's, hugging a plushie, or otherwise relaxing and resting

EDIT: Just so there's no confusion, the first option is meant to be in reference to individuals bonding over *shared* trauma. Wish I could update the phrasing to something like "bonding over trauma" now since there is apparently a medical term of the same name that refers to abusive relationships, but polls are locked once posted...
