Yeah I agree with him having trust issues. I mean when it comes down to it and as you said, it is Huldra's fic and as we all know, we interpret things differently when it comes to characters. Definitely agree with Asperath that is is best to just do the romance and then go from there. And hey, the point of fan-fic is to let our imaginations run wild so nothing is ever "wrong". I will be interested in reading it one way or another.
Seriously, you never know where your fic will lead as you continue writing. You may have a general "idea" but then end up having your characters lead you in a whole new direction. Artistic license ... just roll with it! ![]()
I always think that there's often some general concept of stereotypical Daddy's Little Girl & Mommy's Little Boy. Even in my family I'm much closer to my father & my brother to my mother. It's kind like which parent who will "let you off" more often, share secrets etc.
*snip for space*
True enough. Every family dynamic is different. Especially behind closed doors. I can say I am a daddy's girl but he has also always been the one more emotionally accessible to the kids. Mom's not really.... a "hugger." lol
I've always pictured Cullen as being the more emotionally available type but you'd have to really get him to trust you with it first. Otherwise as said, stoic.

I think that there's a bit of an element of father, often seen (general stereotype) as stoic masculine pillar must also be stoic to his son to "make this boy a man" or something like that. At least it's a bit the case in my family. And probably this kind of father doesn't always feel the same need to be stoic around his daughter so that allows a more fluid relationship. I mean, my father is much more playful and warm to me than to my brother, yet I know that he loves us both, only differently. Still for everyone around us it seems that my father favors me when bro get favoured by mom. I get home wet after playing under the rain a bit, Dad got worried that I'll get sick and fussed over me, Mom scorned me. My brother did the same a few days later and he got scorned by Dad & Mom fussed over him. I'll say I get the better end, Dad's hot-milk-and-honey drink is much better than Mom's version
Well, that's my 2c.
I think it really depends on the personalities.
My father was far more stoic towards me than my brother, maybe because my folks separated when I was 4 & the younger child?
He was very very old fashioned & didn't like my "ambition" to not be a stay at home Mum (got to keep in mind my father was much older than my Mum, 22yrs to be exact). Whereas my stepfather & I are much closer & I've always taken to it be because I was younger, more accepting to the change environment than my brother. I was a fairly naughty kid (my nickname was "Missy Monster") & instead of growling at me like Dad, Ray let my mother handle discipline & encouraged me to explore and let me learn the hard way (which was the only way for me as a kid). I've never been close to my mother & my brother was/is a "run to Mum" type kid but I have a more mature relationship with her. Oddly I am very very stoic about being affectionate with family esp in public like my Dad.

I can see him being very much the smitten kitten with any children he had.
Some what over protective, encouraging and teaching them regardless of gender how to defend themselves.

I have had that happen to me more times than once, lol! This one here, for example, took a completely different turn from the sweet sexy scene I had originally intended but I love it even more for it. Artistic licence is the best!

That's very sweet too ![]()
Anyway, what I say is only what I observe in my family, it's quite a stereotypical family (Mom, Dad, brother, and me & function like I said) and every family is different. ![]()

Actually there is one other thing I could use some advice on its not strictly Cullen related so I apologize for the OT post. In this thing I'm planning I'm using a few characters I've made if I don't lazy out of it each one will get their own story, I guess what I'm trying to ask is I have no idea which of them to make Inquisitor since they all can't be inquisitor that'd be a little odd wouldn't it? I've got a dwarf archer, a two handed warrior elf, a mage qunari and a mage human all female aside from the qunari.

Makes me feel... normal? LOL

Let's admit it, there is always a degree of dysfunctionality in every single family, including the ones that looks like the Model Family from Parenting magazine. ![]()
Dysfunctionality in families existed because well... some families do not function like the "Ideal Guideline" given by Parenting magazine. Which means, 100% of existing families. ![]()

How boring would it be if every family met those guidelines? Actually, I'm pretty happy with my dysfunctional family
One thing we do well is look out for each other, the other crap is just good gossip lol

Of course! I was referring to his significant other earning his trust before gaining the free emotional access. ![]()

You are most likely right, guess I should narrow it down from who would make the least worse Inquisitor ![]()

Maybe it's more like, which class do you want to play?

Hmm, Cullen, flirting, and jealousy. I'd actually been thinking about his response to seeing flirting generally (actually working on a Zima chapter when he asks about it
.) I think my interpretation would be "it depends." If a female inquisitor in a relationship with him flirted with someone she obviously was not interested in (Dorian, perhaps), and they were doing it in such a way that it was clearly a funny game between friends (especially if the IQ talked to Cullen about it and made sure it didn't bother him), I think he might even find it a little amusing, especially if it was in an over-done silly fashion. If an IQ was flirting with someone who was obviously seriously interested and ignored Cullen's reaction or concerns (which he might not express overtly, but would express), I think it could poison the relationship. But there's also a lot of ground in between. In spite of his trust issues, Cullen is generally mature, but I do think flirting, tactlessly done, would at least undermine his confidence in himself and the relationship.

Not over doing it is going to be a hard line to walk since it might actually be something other people read and not some silly thing for my eyes alone so I don't want to get too carried away. Gonna have to drop a lot of vices before starting that then gah going to be so hard (especially drama I know I over do that stuff way too much for it to engage anyone to read it *sighs*) Well almost done with this run and going to do the Cullen run next hopefully it'll give me better insight on how much Maura can get away with ![]()
