Like I had to keep consciously reminding myself that dead bodies, as a whole, are gross and disturbing and smell bad. Because I found Awakening!Justice kind of attractive.

ARE YOU ME BECAUSE YEAH. YEAHHHH. Except replace "kind of" with "extremely". Honestly, I blame it all on his voice. It doesn't matter how he looks so long as he just keeps on talking.

This looks great, though. :D And if a fic about how everyone has to keep from vomiting around Justice doesn't exist already, it needs to.

And that voice really has no right to be as sexy as it is, given how bits and pieces of Justice are routinely peeling off his body as he decomposes. Sigh.

That is a fantastic illustration!

Ha ha yesssss. "Extremely" might be more appropriate, if I'm going to be honest with myself. I played Awakening after playing DA2, so I was prepared to swoon over Anders. I was even half-expecting to fall for dark-and-broody Nathaniel, too.

BUT NO. The corpse.

THIS IS WONDERFUL

I like to think that Justice smelt like a decaying corpse and that bits of Kristoff's body would invariably be falling off to the point that it would need to be permanently wrapped à la Charles Charles lest bits of it that had been damaged, e.g. in battle, fall off.

I also like to think that Justice wasn't taken out much. It'd get close to Amaranthine and suddenly the dogs would be following it, waiting for it to stop so they could chomp on what could only be a tasty leg. And there would no doubt be incests swarming around. Would they have to regularly check its body for maggots, I wonder?

On the one hand, I like the idea of Justice not giving a shit when maggots are crawling out of his face, and being totally confused about why people don't want to chill with him. On the other hand, I also like the idea of him being super-meticulous about caring for Kristoff's body, because he's not entirely sure what's going to happen when it completely falls apart and that freaks him out.

Of course, demons seem to do just fine in skeletons with minimal connective tissue, so idek.

Great picture!

Justice was the only DAO character I ever gave a helmet to. I like his personality, but all those party banters, especially with Velanna and Sigrun, gave me chills. And I like to think he hid his face from the others.

I like that, too! I think getting to the point where he wants to hide his face would be a huge thing for him, though. It implies a level of vanity that would probably make him question his nature. Which I think is totally awesome because Justice and self-doubt go together like milk and cookies, in my mind. That is to say, deliciously.

Alternately, I also find it completely believable that the Warden would hand him a helmet and say "There's a slight chance we're going to encounter a person on this quest. For Andraste's sake, wear this."

Happy to hear I wasn't the only person that found zombie!Justice rather unnervingly attractive, for a putrefying corpse. I kept reminding myself of the smell, to no avail. It must be the voice.

The voice, the intensity, the innocence and wonder he brings to everything, the hints of uncertainty when he considers his future... *happy sigh*

I have become surprisingly okay with this. I blame you and fay.
