The leg rests one's the best, lulz.

 

Cullen's got the perfect stubble for it too, lol.

 

That's  why the best was kept for last! hahaha. I didn't think of that   .

Awww poor thing!

 

I`m from Montreal!!! Last part of middle school was not great cause I changed schools and lost all my friends. Highschool: I was tolerated, but let's just say I went to my prom ALONE. I didn't bother going to my highschool reunion. 

 

Listen to me right now. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with going to prom alone. I feel so strongly about this because there is this stigma that people who don't have a date are considered losers. But seriously SO many people (guys and girls) go to prom alone. And actually it's becoming more common every year. Not to mention that no one even thinks about prom after HS.

 

As for this whole attractiveness deal, everyone and I mean EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. is attractive to someone. Just because you may not fit the PlayBoy model ideal for a woman doesn't mean sh*t. Every single one of you are more unique than any of those models. Women aren't defined by their looks. We're defined by our strength. I truly believe that there is no such thing as being ugly. I am sickened by the fact that we live in a society where any of you feel or have felt ashamed by your appearances. And you know what? ALL of the "attractive" women you see nowadays are going to age and lose their "beauty" and then society will cast them out too. Please please love yourselves for who you are on the inside. Do what makes you feel good, and don't EVER feel ashamed about who you are. Every single one of you were born for a reason. And every single one of you are important.

So, uh, sorry for interrupting the high school reminiscence, but I have an actual Cullen related question...

 

Did any of you guys drink from the well on a Inquisitor romancing Cullen? He has that one comment at the war table about being concerned for the implications of it, but nothing else. I'm doing an alternate playthrough right now where my IQ drank from the well, and while I'm enjoying the alternate dialogues and cutscenes better than letting Morrigan have it (not ready to commit to either version yet though), I'm a bit stumped on how this reflects on her relationship with Cullen, both Andrastians and Maker-fearing and now she's gone and bound herself to a dead elven maybe not-god. Awkward.

 

So how do you headcanon a romanced Cullen's reaction, or his feelings about her drinking from the well? Is he okay with it, is he curious about the historical knowledge she's gained, is he worried it'll kill her, is he breathing into a paperbag, is he praying extra hard? I have some ideas of where to take this, but they need work. Particularly curious how it went if you played a human non-mage Inquisitor, as that my setup and where I can see the most conflicting feelings about it from both parts, but any feedback helps putting these thoughts together.

I never drank from the Well, even as a Lavellan (the only voice my Inquisitors want in their head is their own), but I imagine Cullen is very concerned, like most other LI's react to the Inquisitor doing that.

I was lucky. My bullies went to a different high school, so it was like a light switch for me. Nobody made fun of me. That still didn't stop me from eating lunch in the library though. By half-way through senior year, I all of a sudden became semi-popular. I'm not sure how that happened. 

 

Bullying wasn't the real issue for me. Sure, I was made fun of in middle school, but that basically stopped by high school, with a few exceptions. The real problem was the depression and random severe anxiety attacks. Thankfully, these are no longer an issue for me.

He makes a comment at the war table after, which frankly was disappointing to me.  He doesn't say anything directly to you.  I just did this quest a few days ago. Leliana says something about it, and he says something like "we don't know the ramifications - never mind".

Wow...That was truly beautiful and profound (for me at least). 

 

And you are right: I sorta forgot about highschool...and I have this beautiful bearded Blackwall ( I KID!!! and minus the reveal) so it's all good!!

I've never done that before (Blackwall and Sera were very against it on my previous playthroughs so I couldn't do it even for science), but I'm actually really enjoying the alternate ending without Morrigan being all know-it-all, and my IQ struggling with these visions and voices. Still, not ready to commit to either choice as my canon until I can decide whether having my IQ bound to Morrigan once she inherits Mythal (as is one of the most popular theories) is better or worse than letting Morrigan run free with all the knowledge in the well for herself. We'll see.

 

But none of that helps me figure out how Cullen would react to it. He's obviously very concerned, if Leliana went to the point of calling him out at the war table, but I wonder what he's told the IQ in private, or what she's told him, and how he reacted. How do you even react to your girlfriend coming up at the end of a battle all, so hey I drank from an ancient elfy thingy and now I hold all the knowledge of elfy thingies but also I'm kinda bound to one of their gods ~lol.

[Scintillla]

I think that if ever I see a man who looks like Cullen, and I mean, an exact copy, I will muster up the courage to go up to him and ask if he's the face model for the game. I will then politely ask him for a picture, cause...a bootleg to show you guys won't do

This is interesting because that is coming up in my playthrough with Ciara (who is a mage romancing Cullen) and I am seriously considering doing it.  I think this is one of the things that could be a "wrinkle" in the mage-Cullen romance, though I imagine that he would just chalk it up to his woman's crazy mage antics. I mean, the fact that he is dating a mage, he kinda signed up for some craziness, imo.

 

For a non-mage who drinks, I think it would be compelling to consider the religious implications of it.  He does take his religion very seriously and if your quizzie does as well...I could imagine some really interesting dialouge where he questions her on this.  How would a non-mage Andrastian defend herself on this decision? Would he be more concerned about what could happen to her or more concerned about why she would make a decision like this?  Cullen is pretty laid back, but he gets pretty stressed over the quizzie's choice to become a templar.  This seems at least as big as that, because now she is bound to some old god. i can't imagine he would take it well.

 

This would make a very interesting fan-fic...

I wish I had some input, but I`m not at that part yet. Unless, once again, I missed something.

Has anyone seen Black Mirror, I think it's the third episode?

Spoiler

The one with the dead boyfriend, she gets the android that looks and acts like him. What if in the future video game devs start making droids that look and act just like characters in video games? Creepy thoughts by Jack Handy.

I love Black Mirror and I really liked that episode, but I also like sad stuff. However, I would be really creeped out by that concept, though to be honest I wouldn't mind a life sized Cullen. I mean it would definitely be like absolute boyfriend haha.

[Thane4Ever]

You guys!  I just showed my husband my desktop on my computer, which is now being graced by this (from fontofnothing):

 

He laughed kind of too loud and nervously, and then I laughed like too hard, and it got awkward for a second.  I think he just doesn't know what to make of my obsession which he's slowly finding out about.

Mine is starting to suspect something is wrong. I've never been this active on a forum before. lol. 

[Scintillla]

Imagine this game in virtual reality...I would die because a) Cullen and b )  demons, shades, dragons...

[Jean]

So disappointed Cullen doesn't have a conversation about the Inq drinking from the Well beyond a small war table comment.

 

Doubly so for having nothing to say after Abyss too. I mean, the Inq just fell into the Fade, regained their memories, and you have nothing to say, Cullen?

Hmm...kinda reminds me of when Hawke asks Anders if Justice is an unwilling participant in their little threesome.  All those elves...Cullen has to be creeped out by that, no?

[Thane4Ever]

Mine is starting to suspect something is wrong. I've never been this active on a forum before. lol. 

I couldn't help but show him, I wanted to see how he'd react. I'm trying to be all self deprecating about it and I don't think he realizes I'm on Tumblr and here all day. I know really he's not judging me and wouldn't ever, but he just doesn't really get it. He doesn't get fan-crazy about anything. Up until now he knew I was obsessed with the game but now he's starting to realize it's about a fictional character - ha! But I am obsessed with the entire game, and Cassandra.

Never done it, but I think the way Cullen reacts to IQ taking the Templar specialization might be a good indication to how Cullen would react to this. I'm guessing a bit more strongly than that, because Templars are familiar subject , while the well thing .. not so much.

No, I don't think he would.  Frankly, I can picture something like that being an obstacle in a relationship (though not necessarily a deal-breaker, depending on the person).  If Cole is present at the Well he'll say:

 

That would definitely be something I could picture Cullen being uncomfortable with, watching his love struggle with.  The Inquisitor could never truly be alone with someone, either, always having those voices.

[Tishina]

Fortunately, I have no one with any particular interest in my tastes to get upset about them. My daughters just laugh with me when they overlap (they introduced me to Garrus, who may be the only game romance all three of us like.)

[timebean]

Agreed.  Cullen is stressed having the eluvian in the Skyhold.  He doesn't want Cole to stay at first... "I didn't agree, I was outvoted".  His first reaction to the "unknown" does appear to be...caution and or/ outright distrust. 

 

Having the woman he loves do something as reckless as expose herself to unknown magical influence, especially if she is not a mage..I don't know...I think he would be very suspicious at best and mightily pissed at worst...

I did this on my human rogue PT. I'm having a hard time headcanoning without seeing how Bioware deals with it in a DLC (and I really hope they do), so I'm kind of useless. I think on the inside he's probably freaking out but trying to stay calm and hoping for the best. I did it because the knowledge from the Well needed to stay with the Inquisitor and I explained that to him and he understood, but really didn't like it. I'd also gone in, as the Inquisitor, assuming that Solas would stay and help me understand, but naturally he didn't. (Although, as the player, I already knew by then that he wouldn't be staying.) So, yeah, I honestly don't know.

Agreed!  Solas and Dorian and Varric all have things to say about the fade.  Definitely should have more dialogue if in a romance about those crucial moments.  They could have added some Well conversation during the prayer scene.

 

On a somewhat related note, I haven't done Champions of the Just since I fell into my Cullen obsession, and I saw that video of him as the Envy demon.  "Tell me what you FEEL!" was so damn sexy!  Forgot all about that part.
