I'm curious what songs remind everyone of Blackwall? Everytime I hear Vance Joy Mess Is Mine I think about him & my inquisitor. How he takes on her mess of the mark, etc and she takes on his mess as well (after revelations). Plus it's all sweet.
I love this question, and will be thinking about this all day. And if I am not too embarrassed by my own answers (because I am too self-conscious about these things), I'll share them.

Hurt, specifically the Johnny Cash cover.

Aww I'm exactly the same - I have a lot of songs that remind me of Blackwall +/- my Inquisitor, but am a bit embarrassed about revealing some of them 
Also, I present to you all Blackwall's 'sexy wheeze-chuckle' I heard in this party banter compilation video on YouTube - go to approx 2:00:30ish:

Wow that cuddle is sweet too! I guess its the same as every companion aside from bull? I thought its different. I've done that with Solas but it looked really weird. Looks like he's hugging someone in front of me. I wanted to scream " heeellloo! I'm here, you eggnog!"
Oh, I have no idea. I've only done Blackwall and IB. =p I've been curious what Cullen does if asked to stay on balcony. And I've been meaning to load up my first game and NOT ask Blackwall for a dance, just to see what his animation would be instead of bowing and extending his hand. That's such a tedious quest arc to go through -- the timer, the fights, etc -- which is why I haven't gotten around to it. I can tell you that if I tell Blackwall that I just want to leave instead, I get a bugged scene. He turns around and puts his arm around an invisible Inquisitor as they head inside. I would have totally GIFed that if it wasn't glitched.
As long as we are on the subject of dialogues, does anyone knows if he says something different when Cory possesses that grey warden at the temple of Mythal and the quizziez gives him to the wardens during judgment ( if he is still a selectable)
Not clear on what you mean. Do you mean if he says something on the spot or if his dialogue changes back at the barn?

At the temple of Mythal, after Corypheus is seemingly killed, he takes control of a body of a dead grey warden. Once they run inside the temple and seal the doors, party member will comment on it, and Blackwall will say that for once he is glad he's not really a warden. I wondered if that changed if we say he will go to the wardens, during judgement
N1mh, I love this series so much. Requesting a follow up where he equips that flower crown helmet.
(Has anyone put it on him?? I was going to today since I just figured out cheat engine but my graphics card broke again)
What flower crown helmet? What have I missed?!

I checked my screenshots and I see what you mean. Huh. He wasn't in my party in the game where I gave him to the wardens, but I do have a save before the door closes. I wonder if it's possible to swap out party members once you start a main quest. I'll have to see if I can do this.

It's called Ardent Blossom: http://dragonage.wik.../Ardent_Blossom
Edit: The description says it's made by dwarves. LOL. A vein of lyrium to keep the flowers alive. That's clever. I admire that.

Sorry for all the edits. I remembered seeing this subject last week on tumblr on various companions so I was scrolling backwards through my feed to find this info.
Never met that hat in the game but my lawd, Dorian looks hawt with it.I checked my screenshots and I see what you mean. Huh.

I read the flower crown is a random drop item, I never found it either
@Cathy I was wondering that as well. Maybe he's thinking, "Makers balls!!!"
Oh I'll have to search for the playlist. But yeah lots of songs definitely make me think of him and I don't have anyone else to talk about it with 
O. M. G.
I had that and sold it because what I had was better. I didn't even check to see what it looked like. ARGH! Now to see if I can find which one I had it on and go to all the vendors and see if I can buy it back, lol.
Thanks for all the info! 
I clicked on the link to the Ardent Blossom...it's a real thing?! Now I want to get one. *shakes fist @ RNG gods* If I had that, it might actually be worth it to turn all my helmets back on.
Songs, songs... I have so many that remind me of Blackwall/Inquisitor. If I had to pick, it would be between King Dude's Barbara Ann and Chelsea Wolfe's Flatlands. Super honorable mention to their collaboration on Be Free.
Well I just exercised the ignore feature for the first time after looking at the other BW thread.
my blackwall playlist is a long list of whiny-anxious singer-songwriters i listened to in college while sitting on my porch and chainsmoking and being anxious about my life/a cliche of an art school student..(like kevin devine, okkervil river, rilo kiley, the mountain goats, etc) and then there's a few backstreet boy songs, some bon jovi, and like a virgin
also catwall made a comment on tumblr yesterday about blackwall washing cars to 80s music in slow motion (presumably while wearing assless chaps as it was a point of discussion at the time) so i have added "pour some sugar on me" to it
@alialias, that thread is hilarious. Now I'm just waiting for someone to say that Blackwall triggers them or something.

I came of age during the era of un-ironic mullets, and it has thoroughly poisoned my sexual imagination, so I apologize (kind of). 
I can't remember who it was, but someone started a Blackwall song list on youtube. The name is different than their handle here, so I don't know who it is anymore! lol
@veeia, Trev & Adaar get the hand touching. But still! They should've done it for everyone! Gotta say though, Adaar was the best in that scene.
I'm glad Adaar got it then, she deserves it after that first kiss, lmao.
I was gonna just share my playlist in case any of you had spotify but it appears to be linked with my Facebook and has my full name on it soooo here's the tracklisting:
...some make more sense than others..

that was me! which reminds me, I need to update it
I see in 'that thread', and in others, that one factor in the Blackwall-hate appears to stem from the fact that he leaves after sleeping with the Inquisitor and chooses not to tell her the truth before sex, and before he leaves Skyhold.
The impression I got, and my own personal headcanon, was that Blackwall had already decided to leave before the tavern/barn scene, and wants to spend the last evening in Skyhold with the woman he loves, the woman he credits with making him finally face the demons of the past. I definitely don't believe he made that decision after sleeping with her, "Well, I've had her in barn, I've got what I wanted - now I guess I'll leave". He thought he was going to his execution - you can't blame him for wanting his last memory of his lady-love to be a positive one, not her all upset and betrayed, but curled up cosy in bed, happily dreaming after they had made love.
Blackwall isn't everyone's cup of tea at all - he seems to have spawned several threads, containing at times angry debate over his actions and motivations. And people say the character is boring?! Isn't all this debate testament to Bioware's skill as developers and story writers, and their ability to stir our emotions and celebrate diversity - in this and other Bioware games, there's truly something for everyone. Want a sweet, sugary, Disney-prince romance? Try Cullen! Would you like an LI who isn't always serious, something with more humour? There's Sera! Feeling a bit kinky? Here's Iron Bull! Perhaps you'd like a broody beared older man with a bit of a dark past, a darker romance arc but one ultimately about redemption? Let me present Blackwall.
Bless you Bioware, for doing what you do to us.
(small disclaimer: I haven't done all those romances - they may be horrible summaries 
)

have you seen my trev, big tex?
i made him to be a gross dirtbag southerner, laughing the entire time, but then was like 'oh no i'd hit that. i am...the...worst..."

Do you even know how in love with him I am (and have been for a while now)? He reminds me so much of the guys I grew up around. I want to listen to early Van Halen with him and compliment him on his awesome, lovingly refurbished El Camino!
EDIT: now listening to this because of him:
