me, realizing mei probably has some misdirected rage towards alistair after the broken circle quest bc she’s a little out of control w/ grief and just So Done With Templars and also still lowkey annoyed with him over the whole having to lead the group herself thing that she can’t help seeing him as just a man who was almost a templar for a bit while she’s reeling from that experience (and also bc alistair implying that it might be for the best to let greagoir annul the tower when they first arrived is still fresh in her mind):

#; the only templar she came close to kind of trusting was cullen and she regrets it #; BIG time for a while after The Encounter at the top of kinloch hold where she like #; realized that she can't trust templars because even the ones with good intentions #; are willing to turn on all mages depending on how they're treated by a few #; and it makes me think of how so many ppl from groups w/ privilege and/or power #; put all these conditions on their allyship like they only believe minorities deserve #; to be treated with respect #; if those minorities behave themselves exactly right #; and the moment one (1) member of a minority group is aggressive or angry #; or lashes out #; the privileged/powerful doubts the integrity of them all #; and YES it's an extreme case w/ cullen because he's been tortured for like #; probably WEEKS when you consider the tower fell like right after ostagar etc #; but in mei's eyes (and mine tbh) he's still too quick to condemn the innocents #; for the actions of a few #; when most of the mages in the harrowing chamber #; are ALSO VICTIMS OF ULDRED AND HIS FOLLOWERS #; anyway this just #; reeeeeally got away from me what's good #ooc. ( out of mana )#tbd.#; or maybe turned into a proper headcanon thing instead of this tag mESS #headcanon. ( all of her history etched out at her feet )
