I am eternally amused by how much Alistair and Morrigan hate each other, because you guys, they are so alike in so many important ways.  

• Both grew up in abusive households where their emotional needs were neglected.

• Both were only valued for the way their blood could further their parental figures’ ambitions.

• Both go out of their way to downplay the effect of parental abuse on them, insisting that they’re fine, yep, totally fine, have they mentioned fine today, because FINE, hahaha what grand times they had locked in a cage or acting as bait for the Templars.

• Both adopt exaggerated personas to avoid the vulnerability that comes with being genuine. 

• Both are socially awkward and tend to isolate themselves further through odd behavior.

• Both latch on to the Warden as the first and maybe only genuine relationship (friendship or romance) they will ever have.

Come to think about it, that’s probably why they hate each other so much.
