Hawke: is nice literally one (1) time

Anders: I WOULD DROWN THIS CITY IN BLOOD FOR YOU

How dramatic Anders is summed up in 40 seconds.

It's even more hilarious if you hit the sarcastic option, Hawke legit says "Hurt me! I might like it!" Goddamn Hawke, never knew you were such a masochist haha.

He’s so cringe hits flirt

I love romancing Anders you're like hey handsome and he's like I will literally perform open heart surgery on myself for you. King shit

The editing is just glorious.

Hawke: gives a cheeky compliment, trying to lighten the mood
Anders: THIS FATED ROMANCE IS DOOMED!!!!

He's literally so emo I CANT

I romance Anders every time and this couldn't have been more accurate hahahahaha
He's so stupidly dramatic flirts anyway

Lmao It's a great romance as a CONCEPT, but its execution was laughably bad. I remember him saying that and just laughing my ass off. Dude, I'm just a woman flirting with you. I didn't propose.

The BioWare writers for this game were so desperate to make Anders the tormented figure, they lost any semblance of relatability or realism with his character. I would love to respond this way sometime as a joke if someone compliments me.

"I like your shirt!"
"NO, STOP! We must control ourselves. If you fall in love with me, I fear I'll destroy your life. I'd never forgive myself!"
"I just think it's a cool color."
"Oh, heavens above, forgive me for what I might do!"

LMFAOOO teenage me ate this up so much but now noticing it's like:
Hawke: ''hey you're hawt''
Anders: ''I WILL BATHE US BOTH IN BLOOD TO PROTECT US'' geez man

Meanwhile in DAI: female Inquisitor and Dorian killing it with friendly flirting

He's a melodramatic catboy abomination, but he's my melodramatic catboy abomination!

Funny thing is that he wants you when you’re only kind to him and gets jealous of Fenris 😂

To be fair, the last person Anders was in love with showed up fantasy-lobtomized and then begged Anders to murder him out of mercy like Five Days Ago, it's pretty bad timing

This was always hilarious to me because I'm an Andersimp, but say what you will he goddamn warns us he's bad news the ENTIRE TIME.

Hawke: is acting friendly
Anders: forces to choose between romancing him and being his enemy

At least Zevran's and Fenris' attempts to flirt can be ignored without antagonism.

I flirted with him once just out of curiosity (I was still gonna stick with Fenris my fav) and it honestly felt like the next time I talked to him he was like "I'm ready to move in now". And I read what happens if you romance him and let him escape - he basically does a "thanks for loving me, k byeeee"

What's even funnier is that if you flirt with him as a male Hawke in this scene, he doesn't adamantly refuse the way he does with fem Hawke.

He’s my dramatic babygirl and he can’t take a compliment. <3
