I hope Dorian's romance is romantic... cause yeah, I know it will happen lol I will give in. Why not? I'll try to wait for mustache mod
but that could be months if not years. I'm sure his amazing character will pull me in. I hope he's very gallant.
Yessssssssssssssssss. Dorian is gonna be a total romantic. I'm calling it now. Wit, charm, and magic.
UGH. NOVEMBER 18, GET HERE FASTER!!!!!!!

Arms going around my boy's elfy waist... pulling him close... DRAMATIC SEXY KISS!!! Perhaps some sweeping... Fenris was against sweeping; my inquisitor will not be
Yup, I think I am one myself, or at least if past experience is anything to judge by
Let me tell you, gender and sexuality is so damn complicated (I guess I should say so beautifully complicated), and I hate the way we tend to live our lives in binaries... male or female, gay or straight, etc. It is not that simple!!! Too many people get swept to the side because they don't fit either one, and as a result you grow up confused and lost and partially hating yourself.
It would help if the information was available to everyone as they were growing up. I think schools/counselors/doctors need to start becoming more informed so they can in-turn, inform others. It isn't as black and white as some people assume it is. You don't always just wake up and say, "I'm gay/bi/demi/a-sexual." It can take someone years to figure out their sexual orientation and I think most of the time it starts in the teen years and so many people repress what they really feel because the information that helps to explain to them why they feel a certain way and that it is OK to be like this just isn't available (well, it wasn't when I was in school) and I have blabbed on enough so here is some Cullen and Dorian.
Ooooo, 
'd. 
.
It wouldn't surprise me if he were to be demi-sexual. I could imagine him having many games of chess or sparring sessions as a form of bonding with someone until he reached the height of emotional investment that he would need in order to become sexually attracted to someone. I think there are more demi-sexual's out in the world than we think, so I for one wouldn't be surprised if anyone (pixel or real) said that that was their sexual orientation.
*holds hand up*
I'm still torn about Cass and Josie
Cass is my queen. Favorite of the female companions. And if I were to ever romance a female character in DAI, it'd be her. Otherwise, she is gonna be my best friend.

Before the teen years, I would say. I remember saying around age 10 stuff like "I don't want to be a girl" and "I don't want boobs" and "I'm never getting married" and my mom was like, Oh you will change your mind. And I just seethed because I just KNEW that wouldn't be the case. And then because of all that denial around me, it has taken me until my 30s to understand that I don't have to fit in a certain role and I can just be myself, and that's totally fine.
I want the works
I think at the end of the day, you're gonna have one hell of an epic adventure, no matter who you end up going with.
Not F/M, no
Also I've kind of... "graduated" from porny fics... not like I'm "too good" for them *snort* But it's like I've written "that scene" so often I'm kind of tired of writing that. And I want to focus more on story and character. Not that explicit fics can't have great story and character. It's just nice to not have to think and fret about that scene anymore.
And yes my last Cullen fic had an explicit scene but I do not think it was that bad, really.
I can see your point. 
So, if you don't write F/M, who is Cullen paired with in that fic?

Characters like Cass or Viv, I feel they are too much like myself. I would feel awkward romancing someone who was just like me So when I romance girls I usually go for cute or feisty girls

True that!!

Yeah, it depends on the individual, but I'd say for many, you may start getting inklings of it when you're very young. In hindsight, I think I knew something was different when I was four.
Do you have anything on Cullen?
I have Cullen F/M stuff if you are interested. *opens up trench-coat and reaches into pocket*
Not F/M, no

Yeah, I am waiting to play the game before I start anything serious. Until then, smut it is! 
Though it cracks me up (especially with my GoT fic) that if I write too many chapters in a row that don't involve smut people actually start asking where it is, lol.
I hope Dorian's romance is romantic... cause yeah, I know it will happen lol I will give in. Why not? I'll try to wait for mustache mod
Well, he's got blue eyes now... if that helps....
I'm still torn about Cass and Josie
Why Josie? She's available to everyone OH! You mean you can't decide! Well, that's what multiple playthroughs are for.
So, if you don't write F/M, who is Cullen paired with in that fic?
M!Lavellan lol
This was written before they dropped the big ole straight ball on us. I had planned a part III but never had the heart to write it.
Beautiful
You guys are all so talented, I never cease to be amazed!
I'll just go a sit in my talentless, unartistic, unimaginative corner now *grumble*
Gah! Whenever I see the amazing drawings on here, I feel the same way!!! They are so beautiful. I thought of taking up drawing classes, but I feel like my hands would never master it. Besides, I am an auditory learner (ie, I remember what I hear better than what I see) and have no depth perception, so I think those two things kinda cancel me out for being an artist!!!
Oh well..poetry will have to suffice. And silly, sweet songs... 
I know. But I'm very interested in Josie as well, and she has a lovely Italian accent *sigh*Cass is my queen. Favorite of the female companions. And if I were to ever romance a female character in DAI, it'd be her. Otherwise, she is gonna be my best friend.

*nods* I can see that. Because it's all so much more complicated than we think it is.
I would never call the characters "racist"; I mean that's just silly. That's like calling them sexiest because they only like girls.
I think it's pretty obvious they've been gated for time and money reasons. It's kind of what irritates me most about the whole situation. Cause Solas should've been gay.
...At least that's how I feel now ^^ Once we play the game we may see how difficult it would've been for the writers to make him a gay LI during such a quick turnaround; he might have a canon former female lover or something blah blah blah.
So in essence 1. People crying "racism" are silly because they are just characters; they like who they're written to like lol 2. I'm withholding judgment till the game comes out, and I do want to have faith in the writing, but 3. I'm pretty sure it was a time and money issue, and they went with the safe straight option(s).
Cullen wouldn't romance my female Qunari! He's racist! 
I have Cullen F/M stuff if you are interested. *opens up trench-coat and reaches into pocket*
BWAHAHA Not creepy at all
I know. But I'm very interested in Josie as well, and she has a lovely Italian accent *sigh*
It'll be even harder to choose My second character. For My first, I'll always play a straight male. In my second, I'm open to every choices, so choosing between Josie/Cass, Cullen, Dorian, Sera and Bull will be really hell.
Lol, so you're a bit biased with Josie. How does her accent compare to yours, out of curiosity?
Indeed, but My Problem is that I managed to restrict between those two because of me playing a straight male The first time. The second Playthrough, other choices opens upWell, he's got blue eyes now... if that helps....
Why Josie? She's available to everyone
..
*nods* I can see that. Because it's all so much more complicated than we think it is.
And it's only as I get older that I see how apparent it was to me even as a little kid that I was different.
I have Cullen F/M stuff if you are interested. *opens up trench-coat and reaches into pocket*
Yes, please!!
I'm seriously divided, too. I think I will just choose honestly since it will be very nearly a self-insert for me. If one of the guys makes my Lavellan blush, then so be it. But if I feel nothing for either, then no biggie I'll save romance for the next playthrough.
