if anders is a terrorist, so is meredith send tweet.
#OOC.#TBD.#[ i feel like i have written essays about how anders and meredith ARE extremist foils to one another ]#[ but i feel specifically that her procuring the Idol for the sake of having MORE power/control over mages ]#[ paired with making herself de facto viscount to control Kirkwall and refusing to elect a new leader ]#[ that's terrorism babe! ]#[ using fear and control to achieve a specific political objective... she is textbook definition even if it's a bunch of actions vs. one ]#[ but in her mind it's all necessary and she is RIGHTEOUSLY RIGHT in her view ]#[ protecting people from mages and from themselves ]#[ but her desire for power/control + her deep seated paranoia makes for the absolute worst outcome ][#[ and her reacting to Anders' blowing up the Chantry is fascinating to me because#that removed the only person (elthina) that could stop her and it just gave her the justification she needed#to invoke the Rite of Annulment (which she had wanted to do for some time but Val Royeaux told her no )#even though as Orsino rightfully points out had nothing to do w circle mages and everything to do w Anders#but in meredith's mind they are all the same and it did not matter to her at that point (she was off the fucking deep end by then)#ANYWAY GOOD MORNING HERE'S YOUR TAG ESSAY
