Everything alright in here?
Hey, you! You've been gone a while, everything alright there?
We're currently pulling the breaks to give everyone time to finish up their contributions, as the big 5k is almost around the corner. That's why it's been a bit slower than usual. 
I owe these guys a thank-you. Both good pieces, but I needed an antidote so I found myself writing my first fic in ten years. *coughs* The lack of practice shows.
Wasn't there a fic group set up?
Yup, here it is: Fanfiction Feedback
It's fun to see these kind of groups, up to now there is a drawing group, fic group, and IIRC there is a thread grouping the screenarchers & modders. I'd wonder if next we'll have Baking Group or Knitting group as well 
Everything alright in here?
NO! My character had sex with Cullen, then fell asleep. That is not the bad part. The bad part is: She got woken up to a squirrel dropping an acorn on her head. THEN her face felt wet, upon touching it, a damn bird decided to drop down a "present" on her face.
Cullen really needs a new roof and a new floor.

That "present" would be considered lucky in some parts of the world! lol

When I'm running around Skyhold I often look at some of the other rooms that are in a better structural state and wonder why he didn't chose one of those instead lol I tend to just imagine that after all the years of being in the Circles, he prefers the illusion of open spaces, hence he has no roof and can sleep under the stars. My quizzy couldn't sleep in his room though, first night was a one off lol bet there are loads of bugs, spiders and midges 
They move their relationship to her room for any "alone" time afterwards

I wonder whether we'll ever have bugs & spiders & midges at higher altitudes. I never saw one everytime I'm climbing, especially when we start to touch the snow line already.
And Skyhold's quite high on Frostback Mountain. How tall do you think this place is? Well, no one get altitude sickness so I bet it's less than 4000 m.
But still, in where I used to climb before, we can get summer snow even starting from 2500 m, sometimes from 2000m if it's in the shadow.
To be back on topic, something Culleny.

He does have quarters.
That's what he tells the Inquisitor when she expresses horror at his sleeping arrangements ("You can't seriously sleep here, Cullen, there's a bloody tree in the roof!"). And it's true; Josephine gave him quarters in the north wing, same as herself and Leliana and the rest of the inner circle (sans Sera, because she prefers the tavern, and Cole, because he doesn't sleep.)
It's just that he doesn't sleep there.
Oh he'd tried, the first week or so after Josephine assigned them to him, but it hadn't taken long for them to feel suffocating. The thick stone walls, the lone, narrow window, the lack of air; it was too much like his old templar quarters, and his sleep had suffered as a result. He'd jerk awake in the middle of the night from dreadful dreams and it would take far too long to remember that this was Skyhold, not Kinloch, not the Gallows; and there were no abominations outside to torment him or atrocities to follow him with accusing eyes. He could never go back to sleep, afterwards.
Bunking down above his office didn't exactly make the nightmares go away, but the cold, sharp air and the sound of battlement patrols felt like Haven and reminded him he was a soldier now, not a templar. It made the divide between waking and dreaming sharper. He slept easier.
When he eventually moved into her tower, he slept even better again.

Oh! Good point about the altitude, maybe I should relocate to the mountains in RL lol I have had some spiders here that are so big they should be paying me rent
I have to reformat my pc in the next day or so, that means a complete reinstall of DAI, I hope it doesn't bork 
I'm dreading doing the reformat for that reason alone, pretty sad huh? lol
I managed to capture a couple of decent SS of Cullen the other day, one of them has him with an odd expression on his face (yay for bad timing with the print screen button lol) I'm going to try and come up with captions for them to contribute to the 5k celebration.
Some Cullen love.

Good Morning My fellow Cullenites!
Here is a Cullen I love this scene so much
Looked at that on my phone and mistook the sword hilt for something else. 
And then I scrolled down.
I found that as well with his office being extremely dark. Poor Cullen got the bad end of the deal with his office being dark and his bedroom's roof having giant holes in it there are still old planks and rubble on the floor too
hehe I actually imagine him insisting on getting that room. He seems like the type who finds himself perfectly content with simplicity, and few luxuries, as long as he can get the job done the best he can. In this case, I imagine living in those crumbling old towers lets you be much closer to the soldiers rather than somewhere else in Skyhold. He's probably all like, "..it's just a hole in the wall, w.e"

Yeah that is true
I dunno, does it seem to anyone else that Skyhold is a bit protected (magically?) from the mountain weather? There's snow everywhere outside, and never a flake inside the walls. Everyone walks around in shirt sleeves and there's never any bad wind, just a nice breeze.

that has been on my mind a lot and I'm really curious about it

That's so true, Dorian even go half dressed everywhere in the castle. Only Cullen get dressed appropriately... What's funny is that everyone wears their coat outside even when it's super hot like in Western Approach, and only thin shirts at mountain-top Skyhold.
But considering Cullen's holed roof, it's no wonder he always wears those GoT style furs. But he sleeps naked!!!
So yes, I agree with you, Skyhold must be protected magically or Cullen would be dead freezing from the beginning
I'm kinda hoping we find out more about skyhold possibly with dlc

LOL Yeah, good points. The erm, effects of weather are quite variable, aren't they?That's so true, Dorian even go half dressed everywhere in the castle. Only Cullen get dressed appropriately...

I don't mean to ruin anyone's fun with head canons but the clothing in Skyhold, or lack thereof is a result of design decisions. They either didn't have the time or ability to have the advisors and companions change clothes in Skyhold and they probably didn't want to design them with coats and furs. BUT it's mentioned that Skyhold has traces of magic if you talk to Morrigan.
I'm a fan of this artist's Abelas work, and they have done Cullen!

This is what I'm thinking, too. In my 5K celebration fic I tried to really emphasize the cold 
I figured it would be quite biting for someone used to the milder Free Marches, too.
LOL Yeah, good points. The erm, effects of weather are quite variable, aren't they?
I was just thinking the other day, when walking to my car during the northeastern U.S. blizzard, tiny painful bullets of ice pelting my face, skin aching from the cold, that there's no way I would've survived as the Inquisitor after Haven. Looking at the armor she was wearing and the long trek she took through foot deep snow. Nope. Dead. I'm so glad our heroes are so much tougher than IRL.
On Skyhold's magicality? Yes, please! I can't wait to learn more about its history. Hopefully from Solas. Who used to live there or something.
I'm curious about the builder's report about the ancient elven arrow stuck in the roof over one of the arcades of Skyhold's gardens. I have to wonder if the elves were attacking or defending Skyhold (we'll probably never know, sadly.) Actually, I've been looking the castle over closely as I run around. There are a couple of potentially serious weak points for invasion, in the craft cavern and particularly in the jail cells. The craft cavern would probably be hard to get to, it looks as if it's an opening in a sheer cliff face, but down in the dungeon, there's clearly relatively level ground beyond one of the ruined walls. Of course, both of these weak points can only access the keep itself up a one-person-wide narrow staircase that could be held by relatively few people from above to gain time to mount a defense.
And yes, I've thought about these two weak points in connection to fanfic
It's so relieving that this forum can stay civil while other forms of social media blow up. Fandoms can be a tough thing lol.

yeah it is I'm trying to avoid a certain one atm
on topic I finally found a way to get my fan fic written to where I will want it put although I'll prob have to do lots of editing still better than non
LOL yeah being in the Frostbacks would clearly be freezing. So the outfits basically just don't make sense.This is what I'm thinking, too. In my 5K celebration fic I tried to really emphasize the cold
Yes. And please let's try to leave it there.yeah it is I'm trying to avoid a certain one atm
