So i'm not the most active person in the Cullen thread, and i might not be as devoted to Cullen as some of you all are. It's also tough to keep up with the pace of this thread when i'm not on the forums that much these days.

 

But i might do a quick doodle for the 1000 page thingy. Is there any plan to how long the "celebration" will be? I'm guessing not just the one page

 

I definitely won't post it on the 1000th page, i'll let all the really talented people do that first!

this is really R2's forte, but I'm guessing she'd def want you to post on page 1000. i think you let her and/or Lola know you wanna post up something and they reserve a spot for you. somehow they get it all on one page---links and stuff?

 

regardless, it would be great to see your doodles---hmm, that doesn't sound quite right . but it's not abt who's the most talented or anything like that. just have fun with it. that's what it's really abt.

 

i'm sure R2's thread mom senses are tingling as we speak, so she should be around soon to clarify things.

I really haven't been following this thread closely enough to know how it's gonna work, lol.

I'm sure we'll figure it all out when it comes to it. I better start drawing now if i wanna make it in time then!

50 pages to go. The wait is killing me, I just want to see what everyone made.

 

It's been getting tense the closer the page comes! I can't wait to post my fic. 

 

And there are, what, twenty-four "slots" on page 1000? Because the first post on that page is always the celebratory header. There's plenty of space for everyone to post! Heck, if need be, we could probably double-down on posts. My fic is on my LiveJournal, because it's more than 500 words, and thus is simply a link. I'd be willing to share my "slot" if someone needed space!

They might be planning this already, I dunno, but maybe those of us who are going to link fan fics can come together to do one big post?

Hello Cullen comrades! I just wanted to pop in ans say hi I also want to make sure I would have time to post my contributions for the 1000nth page celebration. I am off tomorrow and Sunday, and home almost all day Friday, but Saturday I work until 7:00pm CST. Do you guys think it will work out okay for me or will you allow time for those whose schedules may be a bit different?

If all else fails I'll save you a spot so that you can put your work up on the 1000th page. That's what we usually do.

The Orlesian Empire

 

Spoiler

There are many lords and ladies in Val Royeaux.   

 

And I mean this literally. Once, the system of noble titles in Orlais was labyrinthine: there were barons and baronnes and baronets and sur-barons and a horde of others, each with its own origins and its own nuances of comparison. The Orlesian aristocracy is ancient and much given to competition. All the nobility play the Grand Game, as it is known, whether they wish to or not. It is a game of reputation and patronage, where moves are made with rumors and scandal is the chief weapon. No gentle game, this. More blood has been drawn as a result of the Grand Game than any war the Orlesians have fought. Of this, I am assured by almost every gentleman here.

  

As far as titles went, everything changed with the coming of Emperor Drakon, who established the Orlesian Empire as it exists now, and who created the Chantry. There is no more venerated figure in Orlais; in Val Royeaux, the statue of Drakon stands as tall as the statue of Andraste. Drakon determined that the Grand Game was tearing Orlais apart, so he abolished all titles besides his own, and lord, and lady.

  

I am told, with some twittering amusement, that this action did not end the Grand Game as Drakon had intended. Now the lords and ladies collected unofficial titles rather than official ones, such as "the exalted patron of Tassus Klay" or "uncle to the champion of Tremmes." It is a headache to remember such titles, and one winces to think of the poor doormen at the balls who must rattle them off as each guest enters the room.   

 

The aristocracy is different from Ferelden in other ways, as well. The Orlesians' right to rule stems directly from the Maker. There exists neither the concept of rule by merit nor the slightest notion of rebellion. If one is not noble, one aspires to be—or at the least aspires to be in the good graces of a noble, and is ever watching for a way to enter the patronage of those better placed in the Grand Game.   

And then there are the masks. And the cosmetics: I have not seen so much paint since the kennels at Highever. But that is another story.

About the ME3 romance thread: we don't talk about it. It was horrible...I'VE SEEN SOME THINGS MAN. 

 

About misinterpretation: I wish there was a sarcastic font...I know some people wanted to do this (!) at the end of a sentence to say that line was meant to be taken sarcastically. I did it a few times but barely anyone caught on, so I faded away. Like Cole. All we can do is double-check our response and someone else's before posting.

 

There is so much love here. 

 

OMG THAT'S SO COOL I WANT I-.. 330 US Dollars 

 

My reaction as well!

If you were to do a Top 10 list of the things you love about Cullen, what would make that list?

His sheer humanity and potential for scars would be pretty high on my list.

I'm not sure I've got 10 things total that I love about Cullen, but I can tell you the number one thing I love about him at this point: Greg Ellis. Because he is marvelous.

Top 10 hmm.. okay these isn't in order since Idk how to rate these but here I go:

 

1. Character deveploment with his personality, I like damaged one's ^^; 2. Being rational and listening reason most of the time 3. Character deveploment in mage & templar issues 4. Looks: I love his DA2 looks but he seems to look different in DAI so I gotta get used to that ^^; 5. His interaction with Hawke 5. His nervousness and stuttering over sexual/romantic things 6. How he stand against Meredith and finally took action 7. He's character flaws and that he isn't perfect hero, he's misguided by others and his own mind sometimes 8. That he's templar, templars are intresting and we still lack that viewpoint I think. 9. He's adorable in mage origins 10. That although he's damaged he still keeps going ^^

 

Ugh maybe little repetitive but 10 tens is much ^^

I'm glad to see the pages have slowed down a bit. Of course I would decide at the last minute to draw something c__c it's doodle time!

1 Loyalty

2 Reasonable

3 Politeness

4 Stutter

5 Also kinda like  the fact that in some cases he is oblivious, thats kinda funny to me but ofc it depends on the matter

6 Kinda like  when he gets angry but he refrains himself to get too aggressive (DA2 Wilmond)

7 I like the fact that he became stronger after what happen to him in both games

8 I like the fact that he stays true to his faith but at the same time knows when things go too far

9 Character development

10 I admit that I think he is pretty attractive

 

crap.. ToP again.. well here is the FABULOUS ARTWORK from our very own JerHopp

How human he is. It's really interesting usually have all these larger-than-life figures traveling around with you--a bastard prince, an exiled bard, a Grey Warden abomination, a pirate, the son of your slaughtered enemy, a Dalish Keeper--and there's Cullen, who is just so normal he kind of stands out. He's had bad things happen to him, but in the end he's just a really unlucky Templar.

I think the best way to sum his character up is human. That's how we all really relate. :3

I can`t name 10 things but i like that he was a moderate\rational character throughout the mage\templar war even though he was torture by mages in DAO; that he`s not perfect and have some flaws; that he has so much space for character grouth and development and that he had the courage to fight for what he thought was right even if it meant to go against his superior.

I also found his crush on the female mage cute, and, i can`t lie , he`s also a pretty good looking fellow   

[LolaLei]

I can't think of 10 reasons, but my main reason would be because he's such a flawed human character with an interesting story arc. I'm looking forward to our new protagonist finally getting to play an active part in that rather than watching from the sidelines.

[CuriousArtemis]

Well I'm probably going to repeat what everyone else has already said (and said much better than I will lol) but here goes:

 

In no particular order...

 

1. His belief in the Order. I think the Order, and his feelings about Duty and Honor, are a big part of who he is. Strip these things from him and you'd have some real conflict of character.

 

2. His religion. I am not a religious person, but I find religious characters who are written with respect to be very interesting. I like writing religious characters myself. 

 

3. His fear. His fear and trauma have become huge guiding lights in his life, and that is very problematic. Fear rarely makes you do rational or kind things.

 

4. His introversion. I like thoughtful, quiet characters who feel more comfortable handling things by themselves (such as taking Wilmod out into the wilderness alone). Often these characters think they can handle more than they really can though.

 

5. His compassion. It does exist! He has compassion and respect for Aveline and writes Hawke a very respectful letter, simply so that they might work together to save the career of a good woman (I think is how he puts it). His fear is often as war with his compassion, though, which makes for very interesting situations (i.e. what to do about Keran).

 

6. His loyalty. He remains loyal to Meredith for as long as he can. I think we'll see an element of this loyalty when he comes to work for the inquisition. He's a very duty bound individual. Again, this is ripe for conflict and character development.

 

7. The respect he commands. The other templars and a few of the companions clearly respect and fear him. That's perhaps why it's so jarring for Meredith to call him a "boy" in the final scene. 

 

8. His shyness. I guess this could be related to his introversion, but I find shy characters cute, whether male or female. Aveline's shyness about Donnic for example was just too precious. Bonus points when the shy character is very stoic, strong, and capable, i.e. Aveline or Cullen or Fenris. Too cute for words.

 

9. His appearance. I just like it for some reason. I'm not necessarily attracted to it, but I like his curly hair and his neatly controlled facial hair and just the way he appears to hold himself in the Last Supper shot. 

 

10. His voice. Honestly, I don't totally love his voice, but it's become a part of him now, and it definitely wouldn't be the same if they didn't ask GE to do him!
