i get why ppl dont like night terrors but i like it with a party pf aveline, varric, and anders bc then aveline and varric- the two in the group who’ve known hawke the longest betray hawke to demons while JUSTICE who everyone(including anders!) talks about as being dangerous and not able to be trusted stands by hawke and helps defeat the demons.

and then aveline doesnt even apologize and says that mages should be locked up.

EDIT: she does apologize immediately after getting out of the fade but doesnt in her follow up quest. (which is where the "mages should be locked up" line is. got the timeline mixed up in my head this makes more sense lol)

#aveline mentions anders being ‘proud of being an abomination’ n its like. well. can him that if you want but HE didn’t try to kill me bc #a demon said so!#but like wally fr gets so upset with aveline when she brings anders and merrill (who wasnt even THERE) into it. she’s like. ‘THEY didn’t tr #to kill me. YOU did.’ she’s more mad about that then aveline betraying her in the first place. wally’s like yeah getting tricked or #influenced by something you didn’t expect. it happens whatever.#its the refusal to take responsibility and the discrediting of others that upsets wally.#it just feels like an important moment narratively to me.#like. wally loses any trust or respect she might’ve had for aveline. but at the same time a friend in the guard can be useful and after #leandra dies aveline’s the only person from lothering that wally could see regularly and itd be really messy to cut ties #so wally maintains this kind of surface level friendship while challenging aveline’s views and hoping that one day maybe they could actuall #have a deeper and more meaningful conversation #meanwhile she tells anders that he really ought to be kinder to justice (and himself) n that she trusts justice like she trusts him.#varric apologizes to wally and then they both get plastered and cry about family or smthn ill figure it out #but i do get why people would feel that the betrayals are contrived and not well executed #wally hawke #if any1 reads all of these sorry i always put essay length tags and also hello! ty for reading
