How Fenris confessed to Hawke in the game: “I cannot exactly put to words how strongly I feel about you, but I do. And it scares me. It has been so long since I’ve allowed myself to be vulnerable with anyone yet, here I am, wanting to share part of myself with you. You are terrifying and sincere. But I care deeply for you and there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”
How fandom portrays Fenris: “god Hawke ur an annoying piece of shit but I guess I love and tolerate you or whatever,,,,,here’s a bloody and beating heart,,,,,,,,,,”
The most angry or aggressive that Fenris ever gets is when dealing with situations that directly relate to his trauma. He is angry when dealing with slavers, frustrated when talking of his memories, agitated when he learns of Varania, infuriated when he finally gets his hands on both Danarius and Hadriana who perpetrated his suffering.
But in every other situation he is thoughtful yet not overbearing. Gives his opinion and is assertive but not forceful.
He is actually rather soft in his delivery and the point of this post is that I tire of people taking a few emotionally charged moments directly relating to him responding to circumstances that remind him of his trauma and using that as a basis of his entire personality.
And it be his own fans…..
Fenris will openly cut off his own laughter after one of Hawke’s earliest flirts, in a “that was funny- WAIT NO, I AM SERIOUS BROODY… Aw crap, there goes my mystique’ kind of way. Fenris is a thoughtful and observant dork who will laugh at Hawke “stepping in the poopy” (ACTUAL. QUOTE. from Mark of the Assassin). He just has a traumatic trigger that prompts him to get violent, and that kind of violence actually SCARES HIM.
