#cullen hate

Veilguard is actually the best Dragon Age game because Cullen isn't in it AND it has Neve Gallus.

Dazzing insights. I assume this is what Cullen fans put up with on the reg.

Dragon age inquisition blorbos!

Thanks for the ask! I don't actually talk about characters I dislike much, so if you're a fan of the characters I don't like, I'm sorry. Know that I think that's completely valid. Inquisition had some polarizing chacters in it and that's part of the fun.

Blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): Genuinely hard to answer. Probably Dorian, but he only SLIGHTLY edges out Iron Bull.

Scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) Dagna is delightful in every iteration. But so is Scout Harding. There's a history there with Dagna though, like every time I look at her I'm like, I paid your tuition and I'd do it again.

Scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) Okay, so people will say she's not underappreciated but she DEFINITELY is. Vivienne is one of the best characters in Dragon Age hands down and the whole fandom sleeps on her because she's unromancable, a woman and Black. Yeah she's pro-circle... Kinda? But she's literally the only person making pro-circle arguments that actually make sense. She's trying to draw attention to problems that a lot of the people in the rebellion haven't thought about. People are so willing to cut literal Templars slack over their circle opinions, but God forbid Vivienne speak about her own experiences as a mage. And when fandom isn't treating her with a double standard and being overly critical, they just write her out. It sucks.

Glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) Honestly, Josephine's sister Yvette. I love that she basically came to Halamshiral to get the hot gossip and roast her sister. Yvette lives a life of pure joy and she deserves it.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) Sera! There's definitely parts of fandom that appreciate her, but mostly people hate that she has internalized racism even though it completely makes sense for her character and it's a real thing that people struggle with. People nitpick all sorts of stuff about her. They hate her voice and hair and plaid weave. I don't think so. Sera is an anarchist icon and she can have all the bees her deranged little heart desires.

Horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) Cullen. I simply don't like him. He has cop energy. I didn't like him as a random noodle hair in Dragon Age Origins and absolutely nothing has changed since then.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) I am hoping the plot of DA4 will involve sending Solas to superhell.

I just remembered how in all 3 of the Ezio Assassin’s Creed games you could find Duccio and just fucking kick his ass, and I really wish we could do that with Cullen in Dragon Age. It would make him being in all 3 games much more palatable and fun.

you cant tell me that ““Men are pigs”, or so goes the lazy insult. That is true for some undoubtedly, but not for most.” is not a canon cull*en r*therford quote

[brialavellan]

So a sibling of a friend of mine just got into DA and he romanced Cullen and I give him shit for it but then I remembered I romanced Solas and he gives me shit for that and I'm sure from the outside our fights on who romanced the worst LI just looks like two clowns squirting their water hose prank flowers at each other.

Don’t rebagel

There’s a post going around that’s like, “Broke: Writing Noodle Boy out of DA4/Woke: Bringing him back with a different VA”.

Which like...I GET but also there’s no “writing him out”. Greg Smellis being shitty is not the deciding factor, it’s BEEN DONE, that’s what makes this so pathetic.

His character arc is very much over. We don’t have any info about DA4 to ascertain if there’s a place for him, but I can’t imagine what it could be that wouldn’t feel forced. Even the briefest of cameos would feel forced.

Like...he had a role in all three games. Same with Andy, is what I say. It’s over, he had his time and then so, let it go. I’m sorry this Smellish thing sullied things but there it is.

Of course, I don’t even like that Alistair gets multiple appearances and I LIKE him, So that’s where I’m at, personally.

Daily reminder that as Knight Captain, Cullen had the authority to relieve Meredith of her duties at any point during All That Shit she was pulling and chose not to because he not only agreed with her but wanted her to be harsher on mages. He only stood against her after she targeted Hawke, a human noble of standing and whom he just witnessed beat the fire out of most of the templars/all of the mages, and DAI trying to gloss over that to make him the cute wounded puppy romance option is the definition of bullshit.
