↳ THIS WAS REALLY INAPPROPRIATE OK
↳ Just kill everyone! (cw for implied torture)
↳ That time Cullen said mages weren't people
↳ Opposing Meredith (just imagine lady hawke instead)
↳ ...Did you just grab my bottom? (unromanced version and inquisition spoilers)

*I normally play Cullen with an ambiguous Warden but since all the videos were only of the female mage...

Your formal attire becomes you, Commander.

[ because literally anything else she might say about the scandalous announcements made by those around him would all be awfully impolite. ]

[detoxifying]

...Thank you, Lady Sansa.

[ A sigh. ]

It was dreadfully uncomfortable and impractical, however.

[steeledskin]

And yet I cannot imagine armour is much made for comfort, either.

[ she will not argue the point of practicality at least. ]

[detoxifying]

But, at least it protects you.

[ In all honesty, he almost felt naked. ]

[steeledskin]

Does it not feel...burdensome?

[ corsetry could be considered a burden. but she barely considers it so -- it's grown natural. ]

[STARING AT THAT MAGES AREN'T PEOPLE THING.

STARING H A R D]

[detoxifying]

...Yes?

[ HE IS NOT PROUD OF IT. AT ALL. ]

[gordianknots]

I'm just trusting you got past it, and never going to bring it up again.

[detoxifying]

I... am not proud of the man I was when I was younger. I made too many assumptions, too many mistakes.

[ In a sense, he really had let Uldred win. ]

I am never going to let it happen again.

[gordianknots]

Growth like that is the sign of a truly wise person.

[detoxifying]

Still, I wonder if it is enough at times.

[gordianknots]

Well, nothing is really ever enough when you hold yourself to high standards. At least, it isn't in my experience.

[ WHAT DO YOU MEAN MAGES AREN'T PEOPLE.

CULLEN.

COMMANDER CULLEN.

Okay but no, seriously, that second part... ]

What happened to you was--

[ Brutal. Inexcusable. ]

I am so, so sorry, Cullen.

[detoxifying]

It wasn't your fault.

[ How long had it taken for him to accept that all mages weren't responsible for what happened there? How many of Meredith's actions had he overlooked in the meantime? ]

It was Uldred and his minions' doing, and no one else's. And yet, I would have... All those innocent mages...

[ He sounds angry, still. Not at the mages, but at himself for letting his judgement be so clouded. ]

I should be the one apologizing.

[arla]

What you called for, however rash, was in response to what they had done to you. What they had done to your friends.

[ She wonders if she would be so kind if she saw Templars slaughter her clansmen, even if it was only a few of them who were to blame, if the situation was even close to what had happened to him. ]

You don't need to apologize. What's done is done.

[ She reaches for his arm. ]

You're not the man you were then.

[playmakings]

You fell in love with a mage.

Is that why--is that why you don't like them so much?

[ She's trying to understand, dammit. ]

[detoxifying]

I... had something of a youthful infatuation for a mage.

[ Certainly, it had never progressed beyond that, and for any reason, it would be inappropriate. ]

She had nothing to do with my reasons for mistrusting mages. That reason... lay at the fault of another.

[ It's not exactly a topic that he... enjoys. ]

Regardless... I was wrong.
